Disclaimer: I don not own the Labyrinth or Disney's Sleeping sleeping

Authors notes I was sitting in the living working on a different story while watching sleeping beauty. When I noticed the creatures Maleficent the evil witch called her pets looked a lot like goblins from the labyrinth and so I got the idea for this story

I hope you will enjoy my story it is called


Jareth and his Sleeping Beauty

Chapter one:

Jareth wasn't always the Goblin king.

A few Months after Sarah had won the Labyrinth. The Goblin King with a flick of his wrist conjured up one of his Crystal orbs, so he could watch Sarah in it.

As the image cleared he noticed Sarah was about to read to Toby. Jareth always loved to listen to Sarah reading to Toby, but the crystal ball had no sound so he transformed himself into an Owl. Then he teleported himself to the Aboveground. Once there he was in the Aboveground he took off towards Sarah's home and perched on a tree branch outside her window. So he cold listen to her read.

Sarah who was now sat on the bed with Toby on her lap and held book in her hand said to Toby as she opened the book. "This story is called Disney's Sleeping beauty". to which Toby started to clap happily. Sarah Smiled down at Toby as she turned to the 1st Page as began to read. "In a far away land, long ago, lived a king and his fair queen. Many years had they longed for a child and finally their wish was granted. A daughter was born, and they called her Aurora." Sarah paused to take a breath, before she continued to read. "Yes, they named her after the dawn for she filled their lives with sunshine. Then a great holiday was proclaimed throughout the kingdom, so that all of high or low estate might pay homage to the infant princess. And our story begins on that most joyful day. A crowd on it's way to the Castle started to sing." Then Sarah took another breath before, she started to sing:

Joyfully now to our princess we come,
Bringing gifts and all good wishes too
We pledge our loyalty anew.
Hail to the princess Aurora!
All of her subjects adore her!
Hail to the King!
Hail to the Queen!
Hail to the princess Aurora!
Health to the princess,
Wealth to the princess,
Long live the princess Aurora!
Hail Aurora!
Hail Aurora!
Health to the princess,
Wealth to the princess,
Long live the princess Aurora!
Hail to the King!
Hail to the Queen!
Hail to the princess Aurora!

When she finished singing. She pause and then read on. "Thus on this great and joyous day did all the kingdom celebrate the long awaited royal birth. And good King Stefan and his Queen made welcome their life long friend."

(Authors Notes: well since I obviously can't write down the whole sleeping beauty story , I'll leave it there and continue with my labyrinth story)

Jareth who was still listing to the story, started to remember that this story was based around a true underground tale. That happen way back in the 14th century.


Flash Back to the 14th century

(And so my story begins)

Jareth wasn't Always the Goblin King for back in the before the 14th century. There was another who sat upon the goblin throne and her name was Maleficent, she was Jareth older sister. She was an evil and cruel ruler, who often referred to the Goblins as her pets and or slaves.

(Authors notes: A reminder Maleficent is the same evil witch from the movie sleeping beauty but in my tale she isn't a witch but an unseelie, Almost all the characters from the movie sleeping beauty in my tale human apart from Maleficent , the 3 good fairies and the goblins )

You would hear her saying things like ' come my pet'. Maleficent was jealous of the 3 good fairies who were praised and loved throughout the land and had been asked to attend the celebration of the birth of princess Aurora. Where Flora gave the princess the gift of beauty, Fauna gave her the gift of song and just as Merryweater (who is the blue fairy in the film and the most important one to my story) was about to give her gift .

Maleficent appeared and cursed Aurora. So that before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. And with that Maleficent teleported away and everyone feared for Aurora safety. But Luckily Merryweater who had yet to give her gift was able to change the curse. So that not in death, but just in sleep the fateful prophecy you'll keep, and from this slumber you shall wake with true love's kiss the spell shall break.

(and so the story follows the same as the movie of Disney's Sleeping beauty right up to the final battle scene)

The prince Philip who was Aurora betrothed had been taken prisoner by Maleficent . But the 3 fairies had saved and gave him an Enchanted sword and shield. Before they made their escaped from Maleficent's castle. Maleficent cast a spell to block there path to king Stephan's castle with a forest of thorns . The prince used his enchanted sword to cut through the thorns. Then Maleficent appeared before them changing into a dragon to kill prince Philip, before he could reach Aurora and so he was forced to fight Maleficent . After the long and hard battle in which he lost his shield. He managed to threw the sword with some help from the fairies right into the dragon's heart. Maleficent fell to the ground and died or so they thought. So the prince and the 3 good fairies made the way to the tower, so prince Philip could awaken princess Aurora with true loves kiss. And so everyone celebrated both the return return of the princess and the death of the Maleficent.

But as the celebration warded down to an end. Merryweater couldn't not shake the feeling that something was not right. And so after convincing the other 2 good fairies, to go and make sure Maleficent was really dead. To their horror they discovered that some how Maleficent had not die when the sword had gone into her chest. But she had instead managed to trap herself with the sword, in hopes that one of her pets would rescue her from it.

After much discussion. They had decided that Merryweater the youngest and most spunkiest of the 3 fairies would take the sword far away and guard it. After saying her good byes, Merryweater teleported herself and the sword to to somewhere, where she had hoped she could keep it safe. Flora and Fauna returned to castle to tell the kings and queen in private. What had happened they would also tell the prince and princess, after they had returned from there honeymoon..

But unbeknown to everyone some of the goblins, who were loyal to Maleficent . Overheard Flora and Fauna saying 'that their queen was trapped within the sword. And that Merryweater had take the sword away to keep it safe'. Thus they vowed and plotted to one day find and capture Merryweather. And then free their queen from the sword.

A month later Jareth second in line to inherit the goblin throne was named the new King of the Goblins..

End of Flash back



Now as Sarah was finishing of the story by saying " with Maleficent dead, Prince Philip and Princess Aurora lived happily ever after. The End"
'Oh but Sarah' Jareth thinks to himself 'Maleficent, my evil sister isn't dead'.

Sarah who had turned to look out the window, just in time to see a barn owl taking off. Who she knew was Jareth, smiled as she was glad that Jareth once again had been listening to her stories. Although she secretly wished that he would come in and listened as her window was open. Sarah could not bring herself to tell the Goblin king he was welcome to enter though. Because she did not want to risk her brother's safety..

A few days after Jareth had listen to Sarah story. He overheard Hoggle talking to Sir Didymus saying that Sarah loved it, when Jareth came and listen to her telling stories to Toby. But didn't dare ask Jareth to come in a listen even though she wanted him to. As she was scared of what might happen, if she allowed Jareth to get close to Toby.

After much thinking Jareth had decided that the only way to get Sarah to trust him again was to convince Hoggle. That he would do nothing to hurt Sarah, Toby or him and and any of her friends, nor would he punish them. Even though they had betrayed him, by helping Sarah win the labyrinth and he wouldn't try to kidnap any of them. Even though he had only taken Toby, because Sarah had wished for it.

Jareth summoned Hoggle to his throne room. When Hoggle enters the room he is shaking as he thinks the king wishes to punish him, for not only helping Sarah. But also keeping in touch with her "yes yous majesty" Hoggle said as he walked up to Jareth, who was sitting on the throne.
