Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to another one of my little raving obsessions. Read and enjoy, and possibly laugh and smile a little.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Labyrinth, or any of its characters, except for Jareth, who is currently locked in my closet.

"You remind me of the babe."
"What babe?"
"The babe with the power."
"What power?"
"The power of voodoo."
"Who do?"
"You do."
"Do what?"
"Remind me of the babe."
"But it's a different babe now, isn't it, your Majesty," a particularly ugly goblin with a sock for a hat remarked. Jareth continued tapping his boot with his crop and stared out the throne room window into the cloudless blue sky beyond.
"Yes, it is," he murmured, conjuring a crystal. He looked deep into it, and saw a girl with long brown hair running through an endless corridor. One of the many numerous corridors of his Labyrinth.
"Is it Lara? Or...Sari...? Or Sophia-" another one of the goblins said. Jareth rose from his throne and picked the goblin up by the scruff of its neck.
"It's Sarah," he hissed, "and you'd do well to remember it."
"Yes, of course, that's what I meant, it's Sarah! Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, indeed your Majesty," the goblin squeaked. Jareth let out an exasperated scoff and tossed the goblin away. He strode to the window, absently twirling three crystals in the palm of his right hand.
"Sarah..." he whispered. She had been plaguing him for the past five hours since she arrived. First she had wished her baby brother, Toby, away and he had given her 13 hours to solve his Labyrinth. But since he had first lain eyes upon her, he couldn't seem to get her out of his mind. Her presence intrigued him; she was a constant whisper in the back of his mind, like a fog that could not be burned away. He had never felt this way before, and it confused him.
He consulted his crystals again.
"Show me Sarah," he said softly. The crystals misted up as they usually did, then cleared to show Sarah following Hoggle through a dark passageway full of false alarms. They chanted warnings to try to deter them from their path, but Hoggle knew his way around the Labyrinth, and easily led her though the ominous voices of the stone carved heads.
"Hedgewart, what on earth are you doing?" Jareth muttered, tossing the crystals into the air, where they promptly dissipated. Then he, as well, vanished to see exactly what the pair were up to.
