To Change one's reality
By Viv Slvrdreamer
A labyrinth/Megamind crossover
Jareth would not let me go away from it. He is one pushy goblin king. It started out as a visitation and turned into an eight chapter story *grumbles* Damm goblin king just had to be a muse for once. I can practically hear him being so dang pleased about this too.
All characters have been only borrowed. Hopefully not harmed and no money was made off this. This is only for entrainment.
Labyrinth characters belong to Jim Henson. Megamind characters belong to DreamWorks. Those not associated to either of those belong to me and are abused at my will. Bwhahahahaha cough, cough on with the show.
Chapter 1
I was sitting at the computer typing a note off to a friend when it hit me… glitter that is and a lot of it.
"What the hell… Jareth, what's the reason for this." I stood up to brush off the pile of glitter off my lap. And then shake out my keyboard. thank god I had switched to a spill proof one.
"Where have you been my petit Poisson? I have heard nothing out of you in." he threw up his hands what five years at least."
"What?" I said staring at him. Had it been that long?
He gave me a look like he didn't believe I had just said that. "You will write something…even if I have to force you to do it."
"Jareth I don't have time now." I said
"You will make time." he said crossing his arms across his chest.
"But I …." He stopped me by holding up a gloved finger. "You of all people know you… don't …have ….a ….choice"
"Really" I said crossing my arms. "And what pray tell do you want me to write. I haven't been able to write in a long time."
He stepped away from me and spread out his arms. "Something new… I even brought you inspiration." he smiled. I paled because that could be anything.
The glitter storm was blinding when it cleared everything was covered in it and standing in the middle of the room was a large robotic gorilla. even before it turned around I knew exactly who that was. "O no, Jareth send him home he doesn't belong here." I said pointing him.
"Not a chance in the underworld my dear Poisson." He smirked.
The gorilla looked around in confusion and did a slow turn and stared at the two of us with large caramel colored brown eyes. I shook my head I glared at Jareth. "He can't stay here send him back to Metro City."
He smiled sickly-sweet. "The only way to get him home… is to get him there… yourself." with that Jareth disappeared leaving myself, Minion and a huge amount of glitter in the house.
"Where am I?" he looked at me. "And who are you?" He had his arms up like I might try something. This didn't surprise me this would have freaked out anyone.
"Ok whatever you do don't panic…. you're not where were that's for sure." I said
Minion looked around "where is here… exactly? I was at the lair …. A minute ago where is the boss."
"If he was there with you when you disappeared. Probably a bit freaked out right now." O god… Jareth I'm so going to get you for this I thought.
"And here is? He asked again
"You're in California" I said telling him where he now was.
"California… how... I was in" He looked a bit panicked.
"Metro city, I know… look it's not going to be easy to explain… well it is… but everything trying to explain the explanation is so not" I said shaking my head
"Well that's confusing" he said
"You have no idea" I took a deep breath and started over. "You're in California… and possibly a different dimension from yours. Here you're a movie cartoon character and in this world…. Metro City doesn't exist."
"That's not possible." Said the fish in a robot gorilla suit.
"Long story as short as possible … Jareth … poofs you here …and leaves. " I look at him "And you're the last person…err fish who should be talking about imposable things." I indicated his robotic suit.
Minion had walked to a window and outside he saw lazy suburban homes sunshine and palm trees.
"Defiantly not Metro City." Minion turned towards me … and sighed. "How do I get home if I don't know where I …well am?"
"The only way I can think of is magic but it's been so long since I have tried it …I don't know if it will work." I stated
"Magic?" He looked confused. I could tell he didn't believe in magic.
"It's part of that… long story." I said "I have some crystals around here someplace."
I turned to the closet dug out a box from the top shelf and walked over to the table opening it. Minion looked inside too. "Oh pictures" he pulled a few out and looked at them" what are these from?" He asked holding one out for me to see.
"One of the villain's balls Jareth had. That was just before all hell broke loose." I told him
"Villain's balls? Are you saying you're a villain?" a skeptical look on his face.
"No, we had to have dates. They had to be villains. Some really crazy characters went to that one." I got a fond reminiscing look to my face "What we did to that hall". I shook my head "He had peach puree dripping from the chandeliers for days." I said with a huge grin on my face.
Minion grimaced. "Sounds disgusting."
I pulled out one of several crystals.
"And that?" he asked pointing to the ball in my fingers.
"Magic, Well it was when I put it in here anyway I hope it still has a good charge." I put the photos back in the box and put it back up on the shelf.
"How will that get me home?" He said with a skeptical look on his face can't blame him he is used to technology not this.
"Like this." I grabbed his robotic hand and shut my eyes and wished.
