"Alright Squibble, rewind here, and be completely, 100 percent truthful; What happened?"

"Just like I said Lady, King thinks I was you!" Squibble wailed as he dropped his head on the table.

"Okay, I know that you're upset Squibble, but I really don't think that's the focus point here." Sarah said to the goblin. Squibble lifted his head off the now tear soaked table and stared blankly at Sarah.

"What is the focus Lady?"

"Um, the fact that you just said that the Goblin King told Sarah...I mean me… I mean you… ugh you know what I mean! He meant to tell me that he loves me!"

"Duh Lady, everybody knows King loves Lady Sarah."

"Everybody!? You mean to tell me the whole Underground knows that the King loves me and I didn't know!? After almost three years!?" Sarah exclaimed as she rose and knocked her chair back.

"Uh… yes?" Squibble responded as he slowly leaned back.

"Well if he's so in love with me why hasn't he said anything to me?"

"King told you he loved you when you were in the Labyrinth."

"He did?" Suddenly the words Sarah used to recite came rushing back to her. "But what no one knew was that the King of the Goblins had fallen in love with the girl… oh my gosh… oh my gosh…. How in the Underground did I not put two and two together? Squibble, before I defeated the King, he said to me "Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave," what was that?"

"That was the King's proposal." Squibble responded happily.

"What!? I thought that was his way of trying to confuse me so he could keep Toby! I mean seriously, what kind moron proposes to someone by asking them to fear them and love them?"

"A King!"

"Ugh, so what happens now?" Sarah asked herself as she walked into the living room and plopped down on the couch. Squibble shrugged before walking over to Sarah and hopping up on the couch to sit next to her. "Squibble, just to clarify, I don't think the King thought you were me."

"So King doesn't think I look like you?" Squibble asked sadly to which Sarah shook her head no in response.

"I think, if what you told me is true, that he was planning to say all those things to me. Knowing him he was probably going to randomly appear in a ball of glitter and try to surprise me. Ugh! This is so much to take in! He has to know that I had no idea he felt that way! Why else would he be preparing to tell me?"

Hearing Sarah say this, Squibbles smile fell, and realization of what he just did hit him full force.

"Agh!" Squibble cried. "I ruined Kings surprise! King gonna put me in oubliette! Or the Bog! Oh no, not the BOG!" Squibble screamed as he began to run around the apartment in a panic.

"Squibble calm down!" Sarah yelled as she began to chase him around the room in an attempt to capture him. "For having such stubby legs, they sure are fast little buggers," Sarah thought to herself as she finally managed to jump on the wailing Squibble and pin him to the ground.

"Don't tell King! Don't tell King!" Squibble screamed and tried, to no avail to escape Sarah's hold.

"Squibble, I promise I won't tell the King! Just stop screa…." Sarah gasped and whipped her head around as she heard the bathroom door open and saw Jill step out wrapping a towel around her head. Sarah looked down to tell Squibble to hide but was met with a puff of glitter. With her hands in midair, now holding nothing, her face fell to the ground.

"Sarah, what was all that screaming?" Jill asked as she cautiously walked into the room. "And why the heck are you lying on the ground?"

In a panic Sarah searched her brain for some kind of logical excuse. "Acting class, don't fail me now." Sarah thought to herself as she slowly stood, trying to maintain some form of dignity.

"Um, a horror movie came on the t.v. and you know how much I hate those, so I ran to shut it off but lost my balance." She finished with a sheepish smile.

"Oh, okay!" Jill laughed and turned around to go to her room down the hall.

"Good thing you're pretty…." Sarah mumbled under her breath, glad that her roommate didn't realize that if her excuse was true, the t.v. would still be on.

Sarah sighed and went back into her room to lay on her bed, too exhausted to do anything else. "What is happening?" She whined. "I don't even understand how any of this could be real! I mean come on it's been three years and the "villain" from my past suddenly decides that he wants to show up and tell me that he has feelings for me!? What kind of villain is that!?" Sarah stood up and walked to sit in front of her vanity. "It can't be true, it must just be some sick attempt to trick me so he can have Toby! Or, he must know the Goblins have all been coming here and it's making him mad! But really I'm doing him a favor by not kicking their little, furry butts out of here every time they visit. Ugh, I'm just paranoid! I have to stop freaking out about this or else it's just going to prove that Karen was right and I need therapy sessions. Stupid Karen…." Sarah mumbled as she put the matter behind her and got up to go about her day like nothing happened.

What she didn't notice was the white owl that was sitting on the tree outside her window with a pink rose in it's beak. After hearing her words, however, it dropped the flower to the ground and with an angry squawk, took flight and disappeared in the sun's light.
