This the second chapter to Labyrinth, delivered to you by a horde of plot bunnies. I've always thought Jareth needed a little love, so I wrote this for him. And for all you wonderful reviewers!

Jareth stared forlornly out the window on his balcony. It had been exactly one year since the day Sarah had completed the Labyrinth, had beaten him, had rejected him. Had humiliated him. His feelings for the girl were still love, most definitely. But yet he silently despised her sometimes. Despised her for being so ignorant. Of course, this only made him more determined to finally charm her. Maybe the whole 'powerful Goblin King who could kill you if he felt like it' thing wasn't the best choice. Maybe a different approach would work. Then again, she was so stubborn...

Jareth sighed and stepped away from the window, closing sheer black curtains. He glanced briefly at his king-size bed, and the objects scattered atop it. A few miscellaneous jewels lay strewn on the gold decorations ornately decorating the covers. A half used container of red lipstick sat on the corner. And in the very center a small brown teddy bear stared at him. Taunting him. He had a short staring contest with the stuffed creature, then sighed again and walked purposefully out of the room.

"Your Highness!"

"What?"

A small goblin looked at him with a terrified face, "Um...er...That is..."

Jareth ran his hand through his (very) fluffy hair, "What is it already?"
"There'!" the goblin said as fast as he could and bolted from the room.

Jareth could already feel a headache coming on as he started towards the library, his boots clicking ominously and warning any living thing against coming near him. He practically glided through the doors to see one of his crystal balls emanating light on one of the tables.

Now this intrigued him, and he walked closer to the pulsing object. It looked foggy and dark, until he came within a few feet and saw something or rather, someone, he thought he'd never see again. Inside the ball Sarah anxiously looked around in the middle of a grassy park. She seemed quite disgruntled and was obviously fuming. He peered closer and heard words, "-in King, Goblin King. I wish you would come take me away, RIGHT NOW!" he blinked. Had he heard that right? Had she really just summoned him? Was this really happening? What reason was there for Sarah to call for him? He had thought she hated her...This truly was interesting. Sarah wouldn't call upon him for no reason. And to wish herself away like that...What a charming opportunity...

"Jareth! If you don't take me away in the next five seconds-"

A certain Goblin King smiled. He had no idea what was going on, but he was perfectly happy to oblige. He changed his clothes to a sparkling black cape, a loose black shirt with poofed sleeves and ruffles lining the small opening at the top, and his usual tight leather pants. He then whisked himself away from Underground to the Aboveground with a smile.

Sarah hadn't exactly had the best day in the world. In fact, it was just the opposite of that. Her stepmother had been yelling at her for a million things, half of which were just because of something she hadn't done, Toby had been screaming all day because of a light cold, her teachers were scolding her for bad grades, and to top it all off Toby had thrown her music box in the road and got it run over by a car. Along with other events, Sarah finally decided she'd had enough. So she ran out to the park in the rain and did the only think she could think of: leave this Earth and get away from it all. And, of course, the only way she knew how to do that was to summon the Goblin King, her own self-proclaimed nemesis. The one she'd shunned for a year. The one she'd constantly thought about for a whole Aboveground year...

Now she wasn't so sure if she'd made the right choice. What if he hated her now? After all, she'd denied him of everything he asked for, where he had, technically given her what she wanted...She had wished for Toby to disappear, and he had took him...She'd wished for her brother back, he gave her that chance to get him...But he also nearly killed her in that Labyrinth! If he loved her he definitely wouldn't let her wonder around in a maze with danger at every corner! But, she;d never gotten hurt, had she? When she fell, there was always something to catch her...He was always there to catch me...No! That was absurd! He only thought of it as a game. A game to entertain his sick, sadistic mind. Just a game to break free of a mundane day. Yet...

Her thoughts were cut off as the Goblin King appeared in a flurry of sparkles and a few feathers. He walked towards her, that oh-so-familiar smirk on his face. He reached her and leaned down, almost touching her face with his own.
"What is it you wanted again, precious?"
