I don't own Labyrinth or any of the characters that you may recognise from it, though that's probably not many.

Raina gently woke Lloyd and they made their way off the train, followed unnoticed by Jareth.

In the station Raina heard her name screamed and was then knocked to the floor by a flying seven year old.

Raina grinned up at the girl who had launched herself at her and said "Hi Blair, are you alright my lovely? Enjoy camp?"

The excitable seven year old nodded and said "It was great fun!" She glanced over at Lloyd and said "Urgh did he have to come?"

Raina sighed and said "Blair! Please be civil, I'm marrying him so be nice." Blair pouted and catching a glimpse of Jareth smiled and jumping off Raina, ran to him.

Jareth grinned and scooping her up said "Hello pixie, long time no see." Raina wrapped her arms around his neck and said "Ret, you came back. I knew you would eventually; have you come to take me and Rai back home to the labyrinth?"

Jareth nodded and said "Indeed, I'm here to rescue you from the evil Lloyd and save Princess Raina and then whisk the two of you off to my magic Kingdom and we'll live happily ever after."

Raina ran over to him and said "Give me Blair back!" Jareth smiled as Blair giggled and Jareth said "This seems familiar, right anyway I think Blair is quite happy."

Raina looked at Blair who was snuggling into Jareth's shoulder, Raina frowned and said "Blair, do you know this man?"


Blair looked at Raina and said "Rai, I've known Ret since I was a little girl. Since he took me to the labyrinth and you came to get me and you fell for Ret. Then you took us back and you can't remember it. Ret why doesn't she remember it?"

Jareth sighed and said "I did a bad thing pixie, when you and Rain left Rain cast a spell asking to be taken to the day you left and that she would remember anything about being there. I guess she thought you'd be too little to remember anything!"

Blair turned to look at Raina who had eyes closed and was clutched her head saying "No, no, no! I don't want to remember, it's too painful."

Suddenly she collapsed to the floor, Jareth ran to her. Putting Blair down, he cradled Raina in his arms as Lloyd strode over and said "Let you of my fiancée mate. Wait don't I know you?"

Jareth glared and said "So Lloyd you finally recognise me? You dared to steal my queen!" Lloyd's face turned pale and he stuttered out, "You're that Goblin King from Raina's book, I summoned you and you took Blair. What are you doing here?"

A moan from Raina shut him up and they all looked down at her. Her eyes fluttered open to see Blair looking at her, her face filled with worry. She raised a hand and brushed an errant piece of hair out of Blair's face.

She smiled at Lloyd and then glancing up saw Jareth, who was looking at her with a look of apprehension on his face. She stood up, picked up Blair and looking at Lloyd said "Come on, we have a train to catch."


She walked off leaving Jareth looking after her, Jareth sighed and looking at Lloyd said "You know, I think she's mad at me. Well come on we've got a train to catch."

Lloyd followed him and Raina onto a train, Raina put Blair in a seat, told Lloyd to sit with her and then grabbed Jareth's hand and dragged him to the nearest entrance.

She let go and leaned against the wall as the train sped away, contemplating him she finally said "Why did you come back?"

Jareth looked at her and said "The same reason I'll always come back, I love you Rain!" Before he knew anything else he felt the pain in his cheek as she slapped him. He blinked, staring at her in complete shock. Had she really just slapped him?

Her face was like a stone, so cold and closed off, but it broke as a tear rolled down her cheek. Jareth lifted a hand and gently wiped the tear away, Raina bent her head as more tears fell.

Jareth put a hand under her chin and raised her head so she was looking at him. "What was wrong with me?" The question took Jareth by surprise, he frowned and Raina sighed and said "What did Sarah have that I didn't?"

Jareth shook his head and said "Nothing, it wasn't until I lost you that I realised that you were all I needed. I was stupid and thought I had made a mistake when I saw Sarah. It wasn't until you left that my mistake was going after her in the first place."

"She turned you down, she didn't want you. She just wanted the child back, she was smart, she avoided getting her heart broken."

Jareth hung his head "Yeah, I managed to break both our hearts." Raina stared at him and said "Both?"

Jareth gave her a weak smile and said "I broke your heart when I went after Sarah, mine broke when I realised you had gone. I drove you away and I've regretted it every day since you left me."

He took Raina's hands and said "Rain, since you left me, I have had a part of me missing. It's taken me five years to pluck up to the courage to come and find you, to beg your forgiveness, to earn you trust again and plead with you to come be my queen again.

Rain I love you and I need you! So here I am, please accept my apology. I'm sorry for being the world's biggest idiot and chasing after Sarah when I already had the best thing that would ever happen to me. I broke your heart for which I should never be forgiven but I ask for forgiveness even if it is hopeless."

Raina stared up into his eyes and said "I forgive you Jet, you don't deserve it but I love you, and we forgive those we love." Jareth smiled and said "I'm going to earn your trust back, if you will allow me to?"

Raina nodded and said "Before we go back to the others, may I have my Jareth back? You don't look right like that!" Jareth chuckled and said "Of course my darling."

The disguise he was currently wearing faded away leaving in its wake the old Jareth that she had known and loved. His white poet's shirt was half open and his legs were clad in tight brown trousers, she smiled and said "Now that's my Jareth, please don't ever wear jeans again. You just don't look like you without those clothes."


Jareth smiled and said "Right so are you and Blair going to come back to the labyrinth with me?"

Raina laughed and started walking away, looking over her shoulder she said "You're joking right? I may have forgiven you but you've still got to earn my trust, I cancel my marriage but until you prove I can trust you well I'm fair game for anyone!"

He stared after her, had she honestly just said that? She wasn't exclusively his? That would mean he actually would have to work for her, man alive he hadn't courted anyone for years!
