A/N: I don't own Jim's Henson The Labyrinth and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber lyrics of Love Never Dies. Sorry for taking to long I was thinking new characters for the story so hope you enjoyed it and this is my first fiction.
Chapter 3
The next morning Toby was extremely excited about going to labyrintasma and seeing Jareth King. Sarah and her husband went to find who Sarah haven't seen when she was in middle school Caroline Fordes and her mother Elizabeth Forbes.
Dear Old Friend
5, 6, a- 5,6,7,8
Bathing beauty, on the beach
Bathing beauty, say hello
What a cutie, what a peach
Bathing beauty, watch her go
(Alright, Caroline take 5, girls take it one more time)
Bathing beauty, on the beach
Very nice, Carol
Do you think so, mother really?
You're come a long way since beginning of the season
Does he agree?
It's been 3 months, he never comes to see the show
Even a word from him, just one
You may get more than that
He has been composing again, late at night
Not this cheap Vaudeville trash, something glorious
For, for me?
Continue to work hard
Make yourself useful to him
Mother
Patience, Tobes, first I must find the stage manager
My dressing room, the musical director
Then we'll go look for our friend and go see the island?
I'm sure he'll send for you when he's ready
Well, excuse me, miss, would you mind?
Heaven help me, could it be?
No, it couldn't possibly
Sorry, do I?
Yes, I think you do
Have we?
Go on, take a guess
Wait, it can't be, is it?
Yes
Oh, my God, I can't believe it's you
Look at you, Sarah
Regal as a queen and beautiful
Carol, and you as well
I could hardly tell it's you
My dear old friend
Can't believe you're here, old friend
After all this time
So glad you came
You look sublime
You look the same
My sweet old friend
Never thought we'd meet, old friend
Look at you, a star
And you, a wife
And isn't life a splendid thing?
And here we are
To see the sights
And sing
To sing?
And of course, as a treat for my son
Caroline, meet Toby
Who hired you to sing here?
You
It can't be you
Is this a jest?
How can this be?
We've come to work
At whose request?
The contract's here
I want to see
My God, the price
It's rather high
Why, it's absurd
Oh, yes, I know
Inform your boss
That by the by
The fee goes up
Or else we go
My dear old friend
Here's how things appear, old friend
He who pays the bill
Times two or three
Be sure he will
And handsomely
And dear old friend
Now that we are clear, old friend
That's all very well but till you're gone
You'll wait upon my boss' whim
Ah, yes, your boss and who is that?
It's him
Sorry, did I hear you right?
Here to sing
Tomorrow night?
I'm afraid there must be some mistake
You can't be performing
Why?
Mainly, dear 'cause so am I
I'm in fact the star, for heaven's sake
What are you to sing?
Just one little thing, an aria
Please you needn't fret
I'm sure you will get your due
Him?
That's what I said
You work for him?
Now so do you
And my poor wife
We thought him dead
She'll be appalled
Unless she knew
Darling, please, are you alright?
(Tell me now, that music, who was its creator?)
Darling, please don't squeeze so tight
(Something's going on here, I'll deal with you later)
Did you know?
How could I know
Why would they come?
Why won't they go?
My dear old friend
Can't believe you're here, old friend
Speaking as your host
As an artist
What a surprise
To say the least
Yes, dear old friend
That's a happy tear, old friend
I can't conceal, try though I may
The way I feel so I pretend
I'm sure it's clear
To such a dear old friend
You mustn't stay
Why would I leave?
Why are we here?
Don't play naive
What dear old friends
Don't we all live here, old friends?
Nothing has been changed
And never will
Just rearranged
And yet we're still
Such grand old friends
Such devoted and old friends
Words cannot suggest
What's in my heart
And for the rest
Why even start?
My dear old friends
So much longer near, old friends
Back again at last
When everyone
Is doing great
Won't this be fun?
With dear old friends
Utterly sincere old friends
Honey, break a leg
Madame, good day
Enjoy your stay
Hope it extends
So glad you're here
A lovely dear old friend
Old friend
Toby, Toby, Toby?
Must we always be chasing after the boy?
I promise you, when I find him
No, I will look for him
Sarah took off to find her son and knows where he might be with.
Break's over, Caroline, back to work
A-5, 6, 7, 8
Bathing beauty, on the beach
Bathing beauty, say hello
What a cutie, what a peach
Bathing beauty, watch her go
The three trio took the boy up to meet there master king, Toby was in awe what he saw was wonderful Jareth look up and was pleased that his minions that they brought the boy to him.
Beautiful
What is this place?
This is my realm
Illusion's domain
Where music and beauty and artifice reign
One moment little Mikeson while I prepare our adventure!
May I?
Does the young Mikeson play?
What's this?
Just a song in my head
Go on…
I think it's beautiful
Hear how each note seems to float
Hear how they all die and fall
Just like the night
It's beautiful
This boy…
So very beautiful
This music…
Music that comes uncontrolled
He plays like me!
Haunting and lovely and bold
He's just 10 years old…
Ten years old!
My God!
Come with me… I want to show you
Something… Follow me I want to know what you think!
Have you ever yearned to go
Past the world you think you know?
Been enthralled to the call
Of the beauty underneath?
Have you let drawn you in
Past the place where dreams begin
Felt the full breathless pull
Of the beauty underneath?
Can you taste it?
Have you heard its music and embraced it?
Do you crave the visions that it shows you?
Do you wonder why it chose you?
Like it knows you,
Knows you have a darkness running through you.
If you not afraid I'll show in to you.
You don't fear the darkness, do you?
Have you found yourself beguiled
By the dangerous and wild?
And been hooked
At the beauty underneath?
Have you felt you senses surge
And surrendered to the urge?
Tell me you know it too
Know the beauty underneath.
If it's in you,
In your skin and bone and blood and sinew.
If it doesn't frighten you and shake you
There are places I can take you…
I can taste it,
I have heard that music and embraced it,
Heard it in the wonders that you've shown me…
It's all so beautiful!
So strange yet beautiful!
Everything just as you say!
And he's so beautiful,
Perhaps too beautiful,
What I suspect cannot be…
Still, he seems so much like me,
I can't look away…
Can't you taste it?
You have seen the darkness and embraced it,
Don't you crave the visions that it shows you?
Don't you wish that it had chose you?
Why it knows us,
Knows our skin and bone and blood and sinew?
Knows the things I recognize within you.
Are you willing to continue?
But it knows you
Knows your skin and bone and sinew
Knows you have no beauty deep within you
Knows the madness can't continue.
Then you're ready…
Come closer…
You've no fear of the beauty underneath.
You can face it-
You can take it-
You see through to the beauty underneath!
To the splendor? And the glory?
To the truth of the beauty underneath!
You'll accept it, you'll embrace it
Let me show you the beauty underneath!
All the splendor, and the glory!
All the truth of the beauty underneath!
You'll accepts it, you'll embrace it
Let me show you the beauty under-
Toby screams but lucky for Sarah had found her son.
Sarah
Toby! Toby! Toby it's alright-its me!
Toby
It's horrible! Horrible!
Sarah
Oh, shhh...don't be frightened!
Jareth
How could think I wouldn't guess?
How could you think I wouldn't know?
Do you have something to confess?
I want the truth right now if so!
Sarah
Listen, darling, I want you to go with Miss Forbes back to the hotel...alright? I have to talk to Mr. King alone. Caroline, would you mind?
Once upon another time
You left me, yet left me alone
But that's not all you did
You left me with a son
Ever since that other time
I've wished you could somehow have known
I kept the secret hid
The secret my marriage forbid
What else could I have done?
Just love...
Jareth
A son...
Sarah
Just live
Jareth
My son...
Sarah
Just give what I could give
And take what little I deserve
Jareth
Forgive me!
He sees me and shuns me
As you did once
Take him now
Take him and go
Go now be free but swear one thing to me
He will never ever know
Sarah
I swear it believe me
You know you have my word
And I swear this music won't
Remain unheard
This music, your music
Will live again
Once last time just as I swore
BOTH
And soul to soul we will
Once more be whole
Jareth
When I hear you sing
Sarah
Once more...
Jareth
From out of ugliness such light
From out of darkness such a flame
In him my wrongness is made right
And yet he loathes me just the same
So let him shun me in disgust
Let him flee this cursed face
If I must hide from him I must
Yet he shall be my saving grace
For Sarah, my Sarah
If it's true he's my reason to live
Ah Sarah, then our son shall have all I can give
Ah Sarah, all I create on this earth
All that I'll never be worth
All shall be his!
Forbes
All shall be his...
Ten long years and he casts us aside
Ten whole years this is how we're repaid
Ten dark years of toil and tears
And now what we've worked for will go to that child
All our hopes were at last in our grasp
All the dreams and the plans that we laid
Everything is vanishing
And we get discarded, rejected, reviled
All of the bonds in between us now torn
All of the love that we gave him forsworn
All would be ours if that bastard had never been born!
