A/N: Well, hello! This is my first Labyrinth fanfiction and so I'm rather nervous. Eep! I'm a big Sci-Fi geek, so my Fantasy knowledge is, well, limited, lets say. Labyrinth has been a favorite of mine since before I could remember, but I guess Lords of Time caught my interest more than Kings of Goblins. But after buying the Jim Henson Fantasy Collection, ta-dah, here I am, very much in love with the movie again, so here's me getting into a new fandom, right about…now-

Sarah looked out of her bedroom window and out at the countless mud puddles the summer rain was making, she had been up in her room for the past half hour now, trying to think of something to do, and shake off another one of her evil stepmother's remarks.
"We're all fine here Sarah, we don't need you."
She was only asking if anybody needed help with anything. She always wanted to be there if her help was needed, especially her little half-brother, she had been after all for the past four years now. Her father had been happy with her new behavior; her stepmother had been more skeptical, and so she was harder on Sarah, as if she was testing her to see if her attitude was real or not, but Sarah went along with it, proving every time that this was her now. At 19 now though, Sarah was getting tired of it and that evil replacement. Her newest little thing to try and get Sarah to go off was that she was making Toby spend more and more time with her instead of Sarah, which was beginning to hurt somewhat. She loved her little brother, she always had, just the run through the labyrinth made it show.
A sudden noise from outside made Sarah look out her window to see a blur of a yellow rain slicker with matching hat and boots run out into the yard and jump into one of the puddles. Sarah smiled and chuckled softly at Toby's squeals of laughter, she snickered when Merlin joined him and when Karen came out to call Toby back in, the dog decided to shake off what ever mud he had on him right onto Karen's white blouse and skirt. Good Dog, she thought. A moment later she could her the speckled woman's shrieks of displeasure at the animal.
Sarah almost expected to her shouts for her assistance with Merlin or getting stains off the white clothing. But the seconds ticked by with nothing, Sarah sighed heavily and the window next to her fogged up, Sarah absently drew a heart through it.
"I wish I could be where someone needed me right now." Sarah whispered without realizing it, and within a heartbeat the girl who was sitting by the window was gone.
All that was left was the drawing of the heart, and a few specks of glitter.

…So?
Sorry I had to make Karen, (is that her name?) evil, but I had to do it for the story to work. Sorry!
Erm, no beta, so all mistakes are totally mine. Anyways let me know if it's good or not, and feel free to flame and constructive criticism is welcomed too! Reviews are love!
NEXT TIME
"Hello?" Sarah called out in the darkness; a sudden movement caught her eye "Is someone there?"
"Yes." said a low voice behind her, and she screamed.
"You didn't grant the wish, your highness?" the elder's eyes met the mismatched ones of his king
"Why should I? It wasn't mine to grant."
"It could have been."
Till next time!
