Author's notes: Um…Hi? This is my second fanfic and first Labyrinth fic. I love Tim Burton and Jim Henson, so I put them together. I should be working on 'Invader of the Opera', but this is just too much fun. I hope you like it.
Goblin Groom: A Labyrinth and Corpse Bride parody/crossover thing.
Sarah quietly closed the front door behind her so her step-mother wouldn't hear her leave. "Merlin!" she called, "Merlin, come here." A fluffy sheepdog trotted to her from behind the house. "Come on." She beckoned as she walked to her favorite park.
Crossing the stone bridge, she pulled off her backpack and pulled out a pale dress and a dark blue book. She slipped the dress on over her everyday clothes and put the book in the dress's pocket. Merlin sat on his favorite bench.
"Okay, Merlin this is my favorite part so far. I'm the heroine, Alexandria, and um…that" she pointed to a short, thin tree with gold colored leaves, "with be her love-interest, whose name I can't pronounce. It's my favorite because the girl proposes to the boy. Ready?" Sarah just sighed when the dog gave her a blank stare.
She cleared her throat and recited to the tree, "With this hand," she lifted her right hand, "I with lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine." She broke a branch off a nearby bush and pretended to light a twig like a candle. "With this candle, I will light your way in darkness." She slid a ring off her finger and said "With this ring, I ask you to be mine." She slid her plastic mood ring into a lower branch that was at shoulder height.
Suddenly, a breeze swept through the park and made the trees rustle. A white barn owl in the tree in front of her hooted. Merlin barked and ran across the bridge. She gasped as the owl flew towards her face. She closed her eyes and covered her head. The owl landed on the ground and turned in to man with odd blonde hair and odder eyes. He was wearing grey tights and a white, open billowy shirt with an amulet peeking out. He put a gloved fist on his waist and said with a smirk, "Why Sarah, of course I do."
