Here's the traditional disclaimer; I do not own Labyrinth, Hoggle, Sarah, Jareth, Sir Didymus, Merlin, Ambrosias, Ludo and so on... I do own Mariah and her mom, though. I also own David Bowie, I locked him in my closet, complete with a collar. Haha, just kidding, he belongs to Iman, his wife. Anyways, review, please. If you do I'll...okay, I got nothing. -.-
My friends call me obsessed. I call it an intense enjoyment of things unrealistic. In my spare time I recite the words to my favorite movie, Labyrinth, and I listen to it's sound track. That's what I was doing as my mother came home with a client.
"I can never remember that line." I say in my own voice, quoting Sarah.
"Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave." I beg in a deep luring voice, imitating Jareth's lovely voice.
"My kingdom is great…" I say with false forgetfulness. "My kingdom is grea-"
I hear a deep chuckle and spin around to see my mother and my very idol himself. "David!" I gasp and cover my mouth to hide the pretty red-ish lipstick, blushing deeply. My mother smiles at me with a pained expression while David just waves his hand, palm up, motioning for me to continue.
"Please," he says in his luring voice. His face is hollowing a bit in places and gray hair streaking his natural blond, gray stubble hinting on his chin. "Don't stop because of us. Carry on." He grins at me, making my cheeks flame. I glance down and then hear a hear another voice added onto the one playing on my iPod.
"As the pain sweeps through, makes no sense for you. Every thrill has gone. Wasn't too much fun at all, but I'll be there for you as the world falls down,"
It takes me a minute to realize that David was singing along and when I do I begin to spaz out; flaring around I finally locate my iPod on my vanity. I shut it off and David grins.
"Well," Mother says clapping her hands together and moving to step out of my room. "This has been…fun. C'mon, David, lets, ah, go down to the living room and discuss the movie over a cup of tea."
"But there isn't an opening." I mutter, repeating Labyrinth.
"Oh, Sarah." My mother sighs and begins to shut the door.
"Wait," Mother stops and opens the door a bit while David looks around my room. I immediately feel embarrassed about the Labyrinth related things covering my shelves, walls and even my closet. "Mr. Bowie, will you, um, sign something."
His attention comes back to me and I blush at my need. "Of course. What do you want me to sign?" I grab my iPod and a permanent marker with pretty silver ink, holding it out to him. He smiles and takes it from me and signs in a messy, incomprehensible script.
"Thank you," I blush and take my iPod back.
"Sure thing," He winks. "Sarah." Mother and him walk out and he pulls my door shut as they head down to the kitchen.
"You have no power over me." I finish dully and drop onto my bed, my long braid thumping against my back. I wipe the red from my lips with my hand.
"Live without the sun light, love with out your heart beat," I sing, bouncing down the steps. It's been a good to hours since David and Mom were in my room so I feel safe showing my face again. Surely he must have gone home, it's ten o'clock. I come down looking for my Labyrinth movie so I can keep working on my dress. "Hey, mom, have you-"
I bound into the kitchen and see her and Jare-David sitting at the table with a box of cheese cake on the counter and slices on a paper plate on each of their plates. David grins like he had just been laughing and my mother chuckles as she asks what I was going to say.
"Ah, have you seen my…movie?" I say trying hoping she doesn't say 'Labyrinth' so David will at least think that I'm at least a bit normal.
"You mean 'Labyrinth?'"
I sigh, all hopes shattered. "Yeah," I say blushing and hanging my head. There go those chances of seeming somewhere within the norm.
"Where you left it, in the DVD player in the living room." I glance at David quickly and am surprised to see him looking at me then hurry into the living room to retrieve my movie and run up the stairs to escape my embarrassment. Putting the disc into my DVD playing, I close my eyes "I wish the goblins would come and-" I begin to say before my mom and David walk in again.
"Sorry to interrupt again, I just wanted to say good bye." David says.
I blush and open my eyes, looking over to him. "Good bye."
"Good bye, Sarah." he smiles crookedly. "And be careful about what you wish for." It's only good natured teasing but it makes me tense up for some reason.
"I will, Mr. Bowie."
"David." he corrects me and leaves. Mom follows him out to escort him to the front door. I hurry to the window in time to see David get into his car and drive away. Passing under a streetlight I see his Jaguar 1.5 E. My dad taught me a lot about cars before he and my mom divorced, so I can easily identify this amazing model.
I walk over to my bed and fast forward through the credits and pause at a scene of Sarah Williams in her light green dress and begin to craft my home-made replica dress.
