A/N: I would like to thank my reviewers for their support. I would also
like to say that I am attempting to make this original, there are a lot of
stories similar to this but hopefully this section will be different.

Sarah blinked then opened her eyes, she held back a gasp. She could not believe what she was seeing. The labyrinth was dead, there was no life or magic to it. The grass beneath her was dead, there flowers had dried and withered.
"How long has it been like this?" She asked sadly.
"A week, maybe a little more. It was very quick and rapid. I have been researching trying to find a possible solution only to come up with nothing." Jareth said at once not quite grasping it himself. "I do not pretend to understand why this has all happened, the labyrinth leaves on dreams and fantasies its almost,"
"As if someone stopped dreaming." She sighed sadly.
"Yes, that's how it seems."
"Then it makes since." She looked sad. Jareth looked at her questioningly, "Jareth my family died a little over a week ago, everything I wanted for my life has suddenly changed, I do not know if I have anything left to believe in." There were tears in her eyes at this statement.
Hoggle reached up and took Sarah's hand. Then he noticed something the ground directly beneath her had come back to life, the flowers had petals on them, the grass once again green. "Sarah look," he pointed.
Sarah looked down at her feet, and then took a step forward and watched the ground beneath her instantly change. Jareth seemed surprise as well. She took another step and another, watching the ground change coming back to life.
"How is this possible?" Sarah asked surprised.
"Sarah do you not remember?" Jareth replied. Sarah only shook her head. "I gave you certain powers, powers that connected you to the labyrinth, if its true that the labyrinth fell because of your sudden sadness then it is also true that any dream you have no matter how small will bring it back to life." Jareth felt relieved that everything was finally starting to make since and that she could return the labyrinth back to its former glory.
Sarah considered this. Slowly walking towards the doors watching the ground slowly come back to life. She turned looking at both Jareth and Hoggle both looking relieved. "Alright, I guess I need to figure out what still want in my life, what I still hope for, what I still dream about." Jareth nodded. "It might take awhile, until then maybe I should re-travel the Labyrinth." She looked at both of them as if asking for support.
"I will go with you Sarah." Hoggle said looking at her happily.
"As will I, any assistance you require." Jareth stated.
Sarah smiled. The three of them walked slowly up to the wooden doors that led to the entrance of the labyrinth. The doors were crumbly and deteriorated. Sarah touched them both gently and watched them heal instantly becoming strong and whole once again. Sarah turned and faced right, walking slowly along pulling her hands across the gray walls letting them heal at her touch.
The day was too quickly coming to an end. Hoggle kept by her side and made sure nothing was forgotten. Jareth walked in front of her removing the branches, trees, and rocks that might get in her way. Sarah almost felt it was a lost cause then she saw him.
"Alo," a little and very strained voice said.
Sarah turned to the worm; his hair had grayed and lay flat on his head. He seemed to have become old and weak. Sarah simply stroked him and watched, as he slowly seemed to get better. It was if someone turned on the fountain of youth. The bright hair came back and spiked all over.
Sarah instinctively walked to the gap in the wall, which was now very noticeable. Touching and allowing it to regain its illusion. Sarah instinctively started to walk to the right.
"Sarah wait." Jareth said, "The other way leads directly to the castle."
"Oh really, you mean all this time I could have taken an easier route." She was a little agitated.
"Yes you could have." Jareth had an apologetic look on his face.
"Well what do you think is best, I already exhausted and we have only fixed so little."
"I am not sure," Jareth stated hesitantly. "Hoggle what do you suggest?"
"How about we rest until sunrise, then decide tomorrow." He downcast his eyes.
Sarah slumped to the ground. "Yes we should I am so tired."
Jareth paced for a while then sat down on the opposite wall of Sarah and Hoggle.
Sarah fell asleep easily, Hoggle and Jareth did not. Both men were worried about Sarah. Eventually they let sleep take them.
