I do not own anything in Labyrinth.

Chapter 1

Jareth lounged in his thrown with one hand over his face. He couldn't believe of all the things he had fought, of all the rules he broken, that he couldn't will himself to change things. He couldn't wait forever. He needed to move on.

A small goblin entered the room, "Your Highness, Princess Evangeline is here."

"Hmm.. oh show her in." Jareth sat up and straightened his white poets shirt. "Here goes nothing." he mumbled as the doors on the other side of his throne room opened.

Evangeline entered the room and curtsied lightly before approaching Jareth. Jareth quickly looked her over. Red hair, brown eyes, and the IQ of a fly. All of his least favorite things in a woman. But on the other hand, she was fae, royal, and accepting. She was no Sarah but he had no choice. Their wedding was set for the end of the week and there was nothing anyone could do to change that. The goblins need a queen. Jareth would have called on Sarah, but after she said those dreadful words he could do nothing around her unless he was a silly bird. Besides after ten years she probably had forgotten him.

Jareth plastered a smile on his face. Make it work he thought. "Evangeline, my love, welcome."

Sarah sat watching her ten year old brother finish his ninth Logic problem, " Would you check it for me Sarah?" He asked smiling at her.

"Why you know you got them all right, so why bother?"

"I don't know, please."

"Fine." Sarah flipped to the back of the book and checked his answers. All were correct as usual, " Toby haven't you done enough of these?"

"No, I got board with my Extreme Mazes book so I had to move to these."

"How does a ten year old get bored with a book designed for advanced .. whatever you want to call weirdoes like you?"

"Your just jealous cause you couldn't get through the fist one."

Sarah rolled her eyes, " I lost interest in mazes a long, long time ago."

"I'm more than an advanced weirdo, I'm the best. I bet I could beat any maze ever."

Sarah snorted and mumbled " I know one that you couldn't beat."

"What"

"Nothing Toby. I think its about bed time."

"Fine. Will you tell me a story?"

"Not to night Toby. Maybe later, I'm tired."

"Fine." Toby replied again trudging back to the guest room of his sisters apartment.

Later that night Toby sat in his room with his sister's favorite book in his lap. He rubbed the red cover fondly. When Sarah wasn't he was always reading it over and over again. Now the Labyrinth sounded like his kind of a challenge. He flipped through the yellowed pages, I wouldn't hurt to try. If the girl had to run the Labyrinth to get back her wished away brother then the same should work for a brother wishing away a sister. Toby closed his eyes. It wouldn't hurt to try.

Jareth sat at the dinner table grimacing. Not another story anything but another story he prayed. But sadly Evangeline started again. Suddenly Jareth felt something pulling on him. He turned to see one of the goblins, " Majesty you've been summoned." Jareth breathed a sigh of relief, dealing with a self-centered brat for the next thirteen hours would be much better then listening to this airhead for another minute.

He stood, " My love, I'm afraid you will have to excuse me."

"For what?" she asked tilting her head.

" I must do my job dearest."

"Why?"

"Because its my job." Jareth stared at her hoping that his previous discussion with her had sunk in, "A child has been wished away, and I must deal with." he sighed. She still didn't get it. He shook his head and vanished, in a cloud of glitter.

Toby looked up to see a tall man in black staring down at him. "I knew it would work, I want to run your maze."

The man's eyebrows rose.

"You don't even have to help me. I love mazes and I need a better challenge." Toby said standing.

"Toby who are you talking t..." Sarah stopped when she saw Jareth standing in front of her little brother. She yanked Toby back, " What are you doing here?" She hissed.

Jareth couldn't believe his luck. Sarah was there in front of him and even better her little brother had wished her away to him, " I've come to collect you, seeing that Toby here just wished you away to me."

Sarah gasped and dropped down to look Toby in the eyes, " Toby you didn't."

"Don't worry Sarah. Its not that I don't like you I just want to run the Labyrinth that's all."

" Do you realize what you've done?" "Sarah its time to go, your wasting your brother's time."

Sarah looked up to see that Toby's bedroom was gone and instead they were standing outside the Labyrinth gates.

Sarah gasped NO NO NO. Sarah backed up, but instead of getting farther away from her nightmares she only backed into Jareth's arms. He wrapped them tightly around her and lightly kissed her neck. " Toby you have thirteen hours to solve the Labyrinth. If you fail I will keep your sister forever."

"What I just..." Sarah didn't hear the last because she was already in the castle.
