Hello, all. I haven't written anything new for Labyrinth since well since the last chapter of Journal. Go take a look at it. We're working on Chapter 2 at the moment, but we'll get it up as soon as we can. It takes awhile for us to get going.
Disclaimer: I don't own Labyrinth. Jim Henson does. May he rest in peace? I don't own Hershey's. We all know who does. I hope you enjoy my story for Valentine's Day.
Review. Please.

Chapter 1
Jareth, the Goblin King, lounged in this throne with one leg hanging over one arm rest. He held his right hand over his eyes and in his left he held his riding crop. The goblins around him were doing their best to be loud and gross.
Jareth sighed. Today of all days the goblins were hyper. It seemed almost like they had gotten to some sugar. He removed his hand from his face and looked around. Almost every goblin was holding something sliver. Jareth looked at a small goblin near his throne.
"Meep, come here."
The little winged goblin came towards her king. "Yes, your majesty?"
"What is it you are holding?"
Meep looked down at the little wrapper in her hand. "This." She lifted it for him to see it better.
"Yes, that."
"It came from a gift."
"A gift. What gift?"
"Chocolate."
Jareth turned and sat properly in his throne and looked down at her. "Who gave you the chocolate?"
Meep swallowed. "The girl."
"What girl?"
"The girl who won her baby back."
Jareth sighed. It seemed Sarah had given his subjects something for the holiday, but hadn't gotten or given him any thing. He stood up and walked out of the throne room. The goblins watched their king leave and then raced to the hidden stash of chocolate under a loose stone in the throne room.
After consuming almost all that remained, they began to bounce off the walls and singings. Now goblin singing is bad. Really bad. So bad that if you were to hear it you would want to jump out of the nearest window.
Of course the Goblin King could have stopped them, but he was too busy trying to nurse his injured heart.
AN:// I wonder what is going on with Sarah. I'm already working on Chapter 2. It's almost finished. So it will be up as soon as I get it finished.
