Well I posted a poll on my profile page seeing if anyone wanted me to write a Halloween story. Well 75% of those who voted said yes. So here it is. Don't be getting any ideas that this will be anything like last year's story. I will not be writing a 13 chapter story. This one is going to be short and sweet.

So enjoy.

Chapter 1

Young Toby Williams sat on the front porch of his home as the sun was setting. Toby sighed. It was Halloween, but it wasn't going to be happy, at least for him and every other kid in town. All the adults had decided that Halloween was too dangerous or scary or not very good. So there were no decorations on houses, no jack o lanterns lighting up the night. And of course no kids trick or treating. It looked like any other autumn night. Toby maybe young but he knew it had been his mother had been the one who got rid of the holiday.

He couldn't understand how anyone could hate one of his favorite days of the year. At least Sarah was going to be babysitting since his parents were leaving. Hopefully Sarah would make it great.

XOXOX

Sarah Williams stood by the front door of her former home as her stepmother went over the rules. Sarah knew all this already, but Irene had some new rules.

"He is not to have any candy. Also he is not to watch anything that has to do with Hell's Day."

Of course Sarah knew what she was talking about. Irene had always hated Halloween and now that she had some power in town she had gotten rid of it and had ruined every kids life. Of course, having the goblins scare her one year hadn't helped matters.

Once her father and Irene were out of the house and gone, Sarah leaned against the doorframe looking at Toby.

Toby turned and looked at her. "Are you going to follow the rules?"

Sarah smiled. "When have I. Now come on. We have maybe an hour before they're supposed to get here. Then we'll have our annual Halloween party."

Toby jumped up and went running to the house. Sarah moved and closed the door. She would make it where Toby would have a great Halloween. Even if Irene had it outlawed outside. There would be celebrating in the house tonight.

XOXOX

Deep in the Underground, Hoggle, Sir Didymus, Ludo, and group of the other citizens of the Labyrinth were gathering. Soon they would all go and have a party with Sarah and Toby. They had to hide the fact, since well the King wasn't too happy.

He hadn't been the same since Sarah had come to the Labyrinth. Now he was darker. Jareth was crueler to his subject more now. Especially if he heard that they had talked with Sarah. No one could even mention her name without being bogged.

No one what had happened between the two of them at the end, but all knew that something had and that the King was still angry about it.

Well there you go. I'll try to update Chapter 2 soon.

So review please.
