Disclaimers: I don't own the Labyrinth, that should be obvious. I don't own whatever original
characters pop up, either. They own me. The plots belong to those characters. I'm just a puppet.
Rating: I'll be safe and say PG-13, because I don't know where it's going. It's not like ratings
ever stop people anyway.
A/N: I don't know where this is going. Usually I don't post something until it's complete, but I
just wanted to get this out of my system, and get opinions on whether or not there is interest in
the story. I don't write stories, they are manifested inside me and write themselves.

Prologue
She was crying. The most wonderful party of her short life was just over, and she was
bawling like an infant. Like her little brother. She tried to muffle her sobs in her pillow, but they
didn't escape the notice of the dwarf who was tidying up.
"Wha's the matter, missy? Naw, doan cry, Sarah. Nothin' to be sad about! Why you's cryin'?"
She caught her breath, and looked at her friend, eyes red and puffy. "I- I don't know,
Hoggle. I won. I won!" She was nearly screaming, and the dwarf rushed to silence her.
"Cor, missy, you'll wake you's parents." She was not paying attention, though. She was looking
inside herself, trying to understand. Then she spoke, more to herself than to him.
"So why does it feel like I lost?"
