Disclaimer: Don't you hate these?  Oh well… I do not own any of the original characters, all right?  Don't kill me and don't sue me. You'll get… um… my math progress report, some pocket lint, and about $0.14, ok? I might throw in my chem. book if you really want it though…

A/N: Hiya!! This is my very first story at ff.net, so tell me if it sucks and I'll take it down, k?  Anyways, any and all reviews will be appreciated, so flame me if that's your thing. I don't care.  Thx,

Together Again

The young woman sighed while looking out the window of her small bedroom.

'People always seem to assume that I live this charmed life in which my main worry is where I put my hairbrush yesterday.  That life ended when I was about fourteen years old. Just after I met him.  The time that I spent in his fantastically odd maze changed my life.  It made me realize that life won't always go just as we would like.  The maze… the labyrinth… his labyrinth… Jareth's labyrinth…

Jareth…

I'm sorry.

I didn't understand.  I was too young and focused on retrieving Toby.  I blamed you for that trip for years, but it wasn't your fault. It was mine.  I wanted, subconsciously perhaps, to meet you and I was angry with my father and stepmother.  Wishing my little brother to you seemed, childishly maybe, to both meet the, in my little world, infamous Goblin King and get away from Toby's incessant crying.  It wasn't his fault that he was teething at the time. Wishing my brother into your care was a cruel, heartless thing for me to do and it wasn't fair.

~You say that so often. I wonder what your basis for comparison is. ~

I hear your voice in my dreams at night.  I feel your arms embrace me, as I lie in bed asleep.  Then I feel your lips brush my cheek and I wake myself up.  You are never there.  Why do you torment me like this?  If I hurt you with my words, I'm sorry, but it was the only way that I knew to get my brother back.  I didn't mean it the way it sounded.

~What's said is said. ~

I'm sorry…'

Sarah sighed again and listened to the noises coming from her family downstairs.
