"Ahhhhh," Priscilla and Aimee screamed in surprise when the ground went out from under them. They fell and landed in a dimly lighted room of some kind and quite shabby from what they could see, there was also a lot of movement in the room.
"Hey who touched my butt?" Aimee shrieked as she jumped off the floor. She ran over to Priscilla and grabbed her. "Something touched my butt." Aimee said angrily as she looked around the room. Aimee was big on personal space and didn't like anyone touching her un less they had her permission.
"Who?" Priscilla asked thinking Aimee was going crazy until giggles erupted around the room.
"Goblins," Aimee answered as she jumped and grabbed a goblin that tried to hide. "Did you touch my butt?" Aimee growled in the goblin's face.
"No," the little goblin yelled in fear at Aimee's angry expression.
When Aimee let go of the goblin, a light was turned on in the room. It wasn't very large and seemed to have no exits, there were at least five goblins surrounding them, the room had an old wooden table and chairs of all sizes surrounded it, and pushed up against the far wall was a regular sized bed with someone that was not a goblin, judging by their size, laying on it. They could not tell what they looked like because they were covered up in a thick blanket.
"This is entirely your fault." said Priscilla in a monotone voice.
"I'd argue, but you're probably right." said Aimee with a shrug.
"It worked." Said the goblin closest to Aimee excitedly, he was extremely small, had messy white hair and large red eyes.
"Are you sure these are the ones that can save the labyrinth and get rid of the bad man?" said another similar looking, but larger goblin wearing a spiky helmet.
"Wait. What do you mean save the labyrinth? Isn't it Jareth's job to protect the labyrinth?" asked Priscilla.
"You know kingie?" asked a surprised goblin with messy red hair and green eyes.
"Yeah, he's the main character in one of our favorite movies. Plus Prissy totally has a crush on him." said Aimee while nudging Priscilla, who in turn elbowed Aimee in the stomach causing her to double over. "Ah, my squidily sqooch."
"That's not true. I didn't even know he was real until now." said Priscilla defensively.
"What is movie?" Asked a larger goblin that was wearing a horned helmet.
"SSSHHH!" all of the goblins said to the bigger goblin who promptly shut his mouth and put a hand over it.
"Sorry." He mumbled.
"Quiet Muzguz, first we need tell girlies our names and why we bring them here." said the one in the spiked helmet.
They were interrupted before they could continue on to tell who they were and why they were here by a door forming seemingly from nowhere and opening to let in the most recognizable of goblins.
"Hoggle" said a surprised Aimee and Priscilla. He jumped at the sudden sound.
"Oh, it's you." He said. The girls exchanged knowing looks and stifled their giggles. "Have you told them why they're here?"
"Not yet." Said Tabukan, Hoggle sighed and turned to the girls.
"It's a long story so you might want to sit down." He gestured to some empty seats, but he too was interrupted by a groan from the bed. The man who sat up in the bed caused the girls mouths to drop. If the frizzy orange hair, strangely colored face, and clothes were not enough of a hint to his identity what he said next gave him away completely.
"Where's my hat?" Nosbur grabbed it from a shelf in the corner of the room that the girls had not noticed before and handed it to him. The man cautiously took it from the little goblin and plopped it on his head.
Aimee tried to ignore Priscilla nudging her in the side when they realized who he was. It was her revenge for earlier. He looked around the room before his eyes settled on Aimee who was fidgeting nervously. He kept starring at her and Aimee couldn't look away from those amazing eyes.
"What?" asked Aimee nervously.
"Have you any idea why a raven is like a writing desk?" He looked genuinely curious of her answer, and she raised her eyebrows.
"No. Not really. Why?" Aimee said.
"I haven't the faintest idea." He said with a wide smile, to which Aimee and Priscilla exchanged a look and started to laugh hysterically. This seemed to please him and he joined in with their laughter. They calmed down when Hoggle cleared his throat loudly.
"If you don't mind we do have important things to discuss. Let's start with the introductions. Since you know who I am we'll skip me." he motioned for the others to proceed.
"I Tabukan he Muzguz." said the spiked helmeted goblin while pointing to the large goblin.
"I Nosbur." said the young red headed goblin.
"I Gratz." said the messy white hared girl goblin, then it was the girls and hatters turn.
"I'm Aimee Knight, this is Priscilla Fairchild, and this is Tarrant Hightopp a.k.a The Mad Hatter." said Aimee.
"I'm sorry have we met?" asked Hatter confusedly.
"Not in person. You see in our world you; all of you in fact are just stories. Well at least you were just stories until now." Priscilla and Aimee then went on to explain how they knew them.
"So that's how girlie know kingie." said Nosbur.
"Well that's interesting and it sure saves me a lot of explaining and convincing, but we need to get down to why you are all here. The labyrinth is in trouble and Jareth is missing." said Hoggle.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN MISSING?" yelled the girls together causing everyone in the room to jump.
"I'm gettin' to that." he said gruffly the continued on. He motioned for the Hatter to join them and Priscilla didn't even try to stifle her giggles as Hatter sat closely next to Aimee who was turning redder than a tomato. "His name is Fanyr and he is Jareth's brother." Before he could go on he was once again interrupted.
"HIS BROTHER?" The girls exclaimed loudly causing the small group to startle once again. The girls quickly apologized for startling them.
"The movie never mentioned a brother." Priscilla said.
"Yes, well he probably wasn't mentioned because he was banished long ago. He tried to steal the crown years ago when he was thirteen and Jareth was twelve." said Hoggle.
"But if Fanyr is the oldest brother shouldn't he be king?" asked Aimee.
"He was going to be but Jareth and Fanyr's parents saw that he was bad news. They could sense the evil in 'em. They made the final decision to give Jareth the crown when the Labyrinth rejected Fanyr. He was so angry that he tried to take the crown by force and nearly killed Jareth. He was banished because of it, now he is back and has stolen Jareth's crystals. From what we understand four of the five crystals flew away from him and hid themselves in the labyrinth, he was only able to keep a hold of one, we have found two, and the other two are still hidden somewhere in the labyrinth along with Jareth. Without the crystal or Jareth the labyrinth is falling into darkness" Hoggle finished.
"Wait, first of all, what do you mean Jareth's hidden in the labyrinth?"Asked Priscilla.
"Fanyr has trapped Jareth in one of his own oubliettes we've been looking for him, but we can't find him and we can't get past Fanyr's minions, they're all around the labyrinth. We tried using the crystals, but nothing happened until Nosbur wished for a way to save the kingdom, then you two appeared in the crystal, and then we had Nosbur wish you here so you could defeat Fanyr."Hoggle explained.
