A/N: Ok, so this is my first full fledged Labyrinth fic and I beg of you people to be honest, brutally so if you feel it's necessary. I have a huge thing about references in my stories, so I'm offering points to people who catch them. The list of reviewers and their amount of points will go on the end of each chapter after this one. Today there is a 100 point reference to a Bowling for Soup song!
Ch.1 Sarah's Tragically Stupid BFF
"So, who was this again" a girl with purple hair pointed to the statue on Sarah's vanity.
"The Goblin King" Sarah said. "Megan, don't open that drawer."
Megan pulled out a little leather bound book with The Labyrinth written on it. "It's just a book Sarah, chill out." She opened the book. "Goblins huh? Have you ever considered wishing your boyfriend Mike to these guys" she laughed.
"Never" Sarah said harshly and snatched the book.
"Gee Sarah, it's not like you actually have any feelings for the boy. You're just trying to convince your friends you're not a homo" Megan rolled her eyes.
"That doesn't mean I want to turn him into a goblin."
"Oh come on, it's just a bunch of rubbish anyway." Megan smiled evilly. "What were those words again?"
"Don't Megan" Sarah snapped.
"I wish the goblins would came and take your boyfriend away" Megan paused to smirk. "Right now." Another pause. "See, nothing happened."
Megan didn't see Jareth appear behind her, but Sarah did. "Jareth!"
"I must say, I had rather hoped our reunion would be under better circumstances than your friend having to run the labyrinth" Jareth said.
Megan turned around to face the Fae behind her. "Reunion? Sarah, you know him?"
"I wished Toby away once. I told you not to say the words" Sarah said angrily. "Jareth, can't I go in her place? She's just a bystander really."
"She's not a bystander. She made the wish, so she has to run the labyrinth. Although, since you do have personal interest in this I believe I shall be generous and let you both run together" Jareth smirked. "Though I won't make it so easy this time. I won't let you have Mike," he said the name with total distain, "back as readily as I let you have your brother."
"Well if Sarah's done it before, it shouldn't be too hard this time" Megan said.
"I wouldn't put you on the same hill as last time" Jareth said as they appeared on a grassy knoll with only a slight breeze. "Sarah, you know the rules, thirteen hours."
"Yeah I know, or else Mike is a goblin forever."
"You'd really turn him into a goblin" Megan said shocked.
"He's practically one already. It would make no great difference" Jareth said disgusted as he faded out. "It really wouldn't be a pity" his last words were disembodied.
"Well isn't he jolly" Megan remarked. "Hey Sarah, you ok?"
Sarah had been staring intently at the castle in the distance. "Oh, yeah, I'm fine. We'd better get going, it's a long way to the castle."
"It can't be that far" Megan said brightly.
"It's further that you think" Sarah echoed what Jareth had told her the fist time she was there. Then she headed down the hill towards the entrance.
A/N: So, what do you think? Should I post more? I already have five chapters on paper. Remember, if you caught the reference you have to review and say that you did to get points for it. Oh yeah, by the way, the points are a little like Who's Line Is It Anyway. They don't really matter, but it's fun to say you have them anyway.
