A/N:
Ok, this is a new fanfic of mine. The idea just popped up into my head while my sister was at her swimming class. So, just so you guys won't be so confused, this is what's going on:
Hoggle is a human, and so is Sir Didymus, they still have some qualities they had before, Hoggle was a coward, and he is a mage. (A wielder of magic) Hoggle is also a lot more attractive. XD
Sir Didymus is a knight, in full shining armor, though only when he goes into battle, or on a quest. He still has that kind of reckless thing about him, but he is wise. Ludo is still the same, a giant teddy bear, (teeheehee:D) and Ambrosious is a great white stallion. Sarah is in college, and is 21 years old.
Jareth...is still the same.
I would suggest for you guys to read, "So we meet again," if you aren't already reading it.
Anyways, here is the first chapter! :D
Sarah sat at her window, feeling the rain drip down her face. It poured down onto the streets below, and it was strangely enchanting. Sarah closed her eyes and breathed it all in, she loved it when it rained. Just then Karen started yelling. "Sarah! Take care of Toby! Your Father and I are going out!" She called.
"Alright!" Sarah called back. She looked down at herself and realized how wet she was. Oops.
Sarah was about to leave her window sill when a voice, making her jump, said, "Hello."
"Gah!" Sarah started to lean forwards but Hoggle caught her. "Darn you Hoggle! You trying to kill me?" Sarah asked.
Hoggle looked offended. "No! I would never hurt you on purpose Sarah!" He swore. "I know Hoggle." Sarah said. She hugged him.
Hoggle still looked the same. Wavy locks of jet black hair, his eyes swirling pools of brown and gold. He wore his usual baggy brown pants and tattered white shirt with the armor like black vest on top. This time though, he had a black cloak, and in it were various pockets. Hoggle broke the friendly hug and shook his finger at her, "You should really get back inside, it's pouring."
"It's just rain." Sarah stated. "Yeah, and you'll catch a cold!" Hoggle shot back. Thunder boomed overhead.
Why did everyone always say she was going to catch a cold?! Sarah eventually agreed and left to go change, and when she looked at the wet clothes in her arms, she laughed because one side was completely drenched, while the other was virtually dry!
Sarah sighed. It was Friday. Friday was always the day her Father and Karen went out to see a movie and whatnot. It didn't really bother Sarah that much anymore though, after the Labyrinth she had grown up, and she now liked and appreciated things she never did before.
Sarah put the wet clothes in the dryer and then went back to her room, where Hoggle sat on her bed.
"Hey, could you get Toby? I've got something for him." He asked.
"Ohhh nooo. The last present you gave to Toby got me grounded for what you gave to him!" Sarah stubbornly crossed her arms.
Hoggle looked at her with those eyes of his and she growled. "Oh Fine!" Sarah went to Toby's room, where he played some monster game on his computer. "Hey Sarah." He said, not even looking up from his screen.
"Hey Toby. Hoggle says he has something for you."
"Oh really?" Immediately Toby logged out of his game and turned to face her. Her looked around her, as if expecting to find Hoggle standing behind her.
Sarah chuckled. "He's in my room."
"OK!" Toby raced to Sarah's room, Sarah racing after him. When Sarah stepped into her room she found Toby already talking to Hoggle, sitting on her bed.
Sarah chuckled and marveled at how fast time had gone by. She ran a hand through her hair. Toby was already 7 years old, almost 8. Sarah brought over the chair that was always by her vanity and sat down.
"So? What did you want to give me?" Toby asked, irritated that his present was being delayed.
Hoggle chuckled and then pulled a sword with a scabbard out of thin air. "Oh Cool!" Toby cried. Hoggle smiled and gave Toby the sword.
"Nice! Thanks Hoggle!" Toby cried. He drew it out of it's sheath and began waving it around. Sarah held her hands up and Toby smiled up at her. "Oh no. The last thing I need you to have is a weapon!" Sarah said as she confiscated the sword.
"Sarrrahh!" Toby whined.
"Oh come on Sarah! It was a gift from Sir Didymus, he had it made just for Toby!"
Sarah looked at the two of them, she let out a puff of air. "No."
"But!" Toby started.
"Butt's are for sitting on Toby! And just think of what were to happen if Karen found it!"
After looking at Toby's fallen face Sarah compromised, "Although, you can play with it when she's not around."
"Yeah!" Toby pumped his fists in the air. Sarah gave him back his sword and then added, "but you have to promise to be careful."
"I promise Sarah." Toby rolled his eyes. Sisters.
He ran out into the hall and began defeating imaginary foes. "Take that, you foul beast!"
Toby cries dimmed and soon he was in the basement.
Sarah laughed. That Toby. That wonderful Toby.
After a few moments of thought, Hoggle broke the silence. "You know, I have something for you too."
Sarah turned to look at him, smiling she teased, "You do? From you?"
"Oh stop it." Hoggle said, but he was smiling as well.
This time Hoggle reached into a pocket of his cloak. He drew out a small box, about as tall as a lipstick, and as wide as an eraser. It had green vines with green leaves and red flowers crawling up the corners and bordering the rim of the lid. There were little paintings of different scenes of the Labyrinth on the sides. On one side there was the Hedge maze, on another the brick maze, and on another the forest.
On the lid was painted the entire Labyrinth. Sarah recognized the view. She knew the artist must have gone to the top of that hill that Sarah stood on top of so long ago.
She accepted the box. "What is it?" She asked.
"Let me show you." Hoggle suggested. Sarah gave him the box again and he turned something on the bottom. He opened the lid and out came a little tune.
"Oh Hoggle!" Sarah gasped. "Do you like it?" Hoggle asked, looking at her with worried eyes.
"Hoggle, did you make this? It's gorgeous!" Sarah stated.
Hoggle gave her the music box again, who took it and look at it with adoring eyes.
"Yes! Hoggle, thank you so much!" Sarah closed the lid and set it down before hugging him.
He hesitated a moment before he hugged her back. She sounded sincere! She liked it!
Hoggle was overjoyed.
"Now tell me," Sarah started as she broke away. "Did you make this?"
"Uh.." Hoggle wrung his hands and answered, "yeah. Yes, I made it."
Sarah's jaw dropped. "Y-you painted it too? And carved it?"
"Yup, everything was by hand, everything by me." Hoggle said, a bit more proudly now that he knew she wasn't going to figure out his intentions just yet.
Suddenly Toby burst into the room and flashed his sword around. "Show yourself you coward!" He yelled.
"Who are you calling a coward?" Hoggle said, accepting his challenge. He smiled at Sarah before turning back to Toby. "I am a Mage! I need no weapon but my mind! RAA!" Off they went, chasing each other around the house.
Sarah giggled and then gingerly place her knew music box on her vanity.
And outside her window, a barn owl, flew away. High, high away, in sadness and anger.
