A/N: I just started this Fan Fiction stuff, and just read a lot of stories from the talented people over here, if you see anything recognisable here is because I have yet to create something new. This also take lots of scenes from the novelisation of The Labyrinth by A.C.H. Smith.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of this characters or their actions, they all belong to their respective owners. This is made only for fun and to dance our troubles away.

Once upon a time (because this how is done) there was a kingdom called The Underground, its king was the King of the Goblins, and he went by the name of Jareth. As King of the Goblins his duty was to take the unwanted kids to his domain.

Jareth was the regent of the The Underground. As King of the Goblins his duty was to take the unwanted kids to his domain. When a human wished a child away, they went to him.

If the wisher asked for a chance to have them back he made them run his labyrinth and reclaim the child. Few were able to do the task, and the ones that fail were sent back to their own world to never see the child again. If the wisher was old enough, they were presented with a crystal ball, a crystal that upon touch could show all the dreams of that person, if they accepted the gift they could achieve all their dreams at the cost of one task in the Labyrinth. If they succeed it they had a choice. Make their dreams true and reclaim the child or live their dreams with no child.

Those that choose the second option were judge unworthy and then turned into goblins at his domain. This grown goblins where to live outside of the Goblin City doing the hard work, and where only summon in case that they were needed for some specific task. This was the laws that the fairy world had upon the Goblin King.

Jareth was bored. With all the time that had passed since he became King less and less children were wished away, so he had more free time to spent in his large library, tormenting some of his goblins for fun or walking in his Labyrinth adding and changing fake passages and traps.

When he was in a better mood he talked with the inhabitants of the labyrinth, who sometimes request for him to settle queries between neighbours or to provide them with some magical help for the part of the Labyrinth they guarded. They knew who he was and some of them hid from him, but most of them kept doing their job.

But that particular morning he was in no mood to be surrounded by the poor dumb goblins so he decided to take a trip to the mortal world, he went to his tower where he change into the owl form and travel to the world where the humans existed. He went visiting some of his favourites places of this world: the parks, where people spent their time daydreaming.

"When I grow up I will be a pilot" a young girl said.

"I wish I were already home by now, sweetheart" said a man into a phone

"I could be in this weather for ever" an old man murmured for himself.

"I hope we can find the place. That is the Castle, Merlin, come on" said a girl.

"Do you think she will say yes? I hope she says yes." he heard a boy talking to his friend.

Humans had a way to express their desires out loud, doing this was no threat for them, not like it was with the fairy folk.

"Here, this a perfect place for the castle beyond the Goblin City" said a voice below. Jareth froze, those words were not spoke by a human in a long time. Reaching a tree, his claws hooked on a branch, and he stared at the girl in the glade below.

The girl moved slowly from the trees toward the middle of the park, she was a slim little child, playing dress up with her dog, but there was something on her that look off, she had pale skin and dark long hair.

"Give me the child" she said and he was almost ready to respond to her.

"Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City, to take back the child you have stolen." The words where the correct ones to reclaim a child. Could she knew them?

"For my will is as strong as yours . . . and my kingdom as great . . ."

She close her eyes trying to remember something, a thunder rumbled and then she repeated:

"My will is as strong as yours… And my kingdom as great . . . Oh, damn" she muttered.

She reach under her cloak and took a little red book. The title The Labyrinth.

She read the words "You have no power over me . . ." Those were the words, Jareth almost felt like she could stop his powers right there.

With another thunder she took the book and hid it again, closing her eyes she repeated the dreadful words several times.

"You have no power over me" at the last one a clock above the pavilion in the park chimed seven times and remove her from concentration.

"Oh, no" she said. "I don't believe it. That was seven, wasn't it? It's not fair!" She scream and then started to run outside of the park.

It had been an interesting day, and as he returned to the real castle beyond the real Goblin City he thought of the girl that was playing dress up as a Labyrinth champion and it amuse him to know she wouldn't stand a chance.

He became king at only 89 years old, his father had died of an old battle wound and the court and council help Jareth to take the Underground as his, at first he was very interested in doing the works of the Labyrinth King, taking the children and tricking the unworthy was his job.

After several decades the court urge him to take a wife, but he wasn't able to find a match so he declined all the offers that came upon him. Because of this the court and the council decided that it was best to leave the King only to his Goblin City and his subjects to see if he could understand the importance of taking a Queen.

Once or twice over his rule he had champions reclaiming their children, but the last one had died long ago in the mortal world leaving only one memory. A book about the untold dangers and the unnumbered hardships that the Labyrinth had. Being of the Fay world the King wasn't able to reach the book to see what the champion had written; he remembered his child, a red haired baby, that in her time there, became very fond of one particular funny goblin. Once he had learned about the book, Jareth took all his power to change every bit of the Labyrinth in the event that someone would read it and learn all its secrets. An now he had seen the book.

The next day passed without a note to take, even the goblins were bored so they all clutch together trying to see if they finally could find a human to slip the words to wish a child away.

Jareth was in the library when a goblin knock on the door and pass through it.

"Master, master, your highness king" said the goblin. He used to be a fat 4 year old that was wished away by his posh father because he broke something or another.

"What is it?" Jareth respond without taking his eyes of the book he had.

"We have a new one King, a boy Tobs"

So a new child had been wish away. It had been a long time since that happened.

"Show me who" Jareth commanded

The little goblin gave him a parchment with some info of the new arrival

Name: Toby Williams.

Age: 1 year old.

Wished away by: Sarah / Half-Sister.

Reason: Can't fulfil her dreams.

Ok then, to see this human about her dreams and her child.
