Sarah hummed a bit, prancing around her room. She looked lovely, anyone with eyes could tell you that. Wearing a lingerie-nightie, quite similar to the one from the movie Elf, and a tiny pair of red underpants. Whatever.

She was alone, like always. It didn't matter. It had been a year since the... "Incident", as she liked to call it, and she was returning back to normal. Toby barely even cried anymore. Maybe the goblins scared the tears out of him... Which wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

"Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree, for me. Been an awful good girl, Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight. Santa baby, a fifty-four convertible too, light blue. I'll wait up for you dear. Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight." She hummed a little, brushing her hair in the vanity. "Think of all the fun I've missed, think of all the fellows that I haven't kissed. Next year I could be as good, if you check off my Christmas list... Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot, been an angel all year. Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight. Santa honey, one little thing I really do need, the deed, to a platinum mine. Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight. Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex and checks, sign your X on the line. Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight. Come and trim my Christmas tree, with some decorations bought at Tiffany's. I really do believe in you, let's see if you believe in me. Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring, I don't mean on the phone, Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight."

She giggled, but soon she started glaring at herself in the mirror as Toby started crying. She rushed into her parent's bedroom. "Toby!" She picked the toddler up. "What do you want?"

"Nothing." Sarah rolled her eyes.

"Nothing? Nothing? Nothing, tra-la-la?" She tickled his stomach, and he giggled. Now if only he would remember who said that... She giggled with him, trying hard to keep her composure, 'which is pointless,' she thought to herself, 'because, you know, well... He's a baby! Get over yourself!'

She rolled her eyes. "Well, I'll let you continue on with your nothing, then." She set him back down in the play pin, and paused by the door. "If you're still there... Listening... I wish you would give me a second chance." She took a deep breath, and walked back into her room. She looked around, and, seeing no Jareth, she sighed. She walked over to her shelf, where an animal had fallen off, and she picked it up.

"Well!" She screeched, and shot up like an arrow. She spun around. "Well, I'm listening. What do you want a second chance at? Are you bored, and want to run the labyrinth again, or do you just want to toy with my emotions again?" Sarah stammered. "Hurry, I'm leaving my busy life of sitting around all day in despair."

"Jareth... Er... Your highness." She curtsied awkwardly. "What are you doing in my room?" He shrugged, looking around. He seemed so out of place. He looked like he belonged on a shelf.

"You wished yourself a second chance. I'm here to grant it." Sarah creeped up to him. "Please, I haven't got all day..." She placed a hand on his cheek.

"Your eyes... They're so... They're so cold. Ice masquerading as fire... You're so passionate... Compassionate... Seemingly caring... But... They're a dead give-away." He edged his face closer, but she flung hers away.

"What do you care?"

"I happen to care a lot." He was stalking her around the room. "I haven't been able to take my mind off you since I've gotten back. Only... It's just too late."

"I'm here now. It can never be too late." She eyed him suspiciously as he pulled a crystal out of his sleeve. "Sarah. Look." She peered into the crystal, less frightened, and saw the Labyrinth. "If you can run this one last time..." She met his eyes.

"And you won't... Trap me in the ball this time?" He smirked, rolling the crystal back.

"Now, I don't really have a reason to do that this time, now, do I?" She grinned up at him.

"I can't believe I'm saying this..." She took a deep, steadying breath. "I'm ready to run the Labyrinth."

He raised a brow. "Not that I'd not be completely fine with it... But you're going to change first, right?"
