The Real Return To the Labyrinth
Disclaimer: I have never done one of these, but as I have seen it done before. I Do Not Own Labyrinth or any of the characters from the movie. In later chapters there will be some characters that are of my creation, but they shall come later.
So to get revenge on Jareth I was going to embarrass him by telling very amusing tale involving him, me, my pink dress, and a pink bikini. Unfortunately for you dear readers Jareth has come begging my forgiveness claiming that he did not put the glitter in my easy mac. He says it was goblins. And although I am unsure whether to believe him or not I cannot resist him when he is at my knees staring up at me with those mismatched eyes and those pouty lips. * major sigh *
Now to the story~~~~
Sarah followed all three of her friends down several of the city streets till they reached a modestly sized house with a large tree outside. I wonder which one of them stays here? To Sarah's surprise all three walked to the house. After Hoggle unlocked the door him and the others moved aside so that Sarah could enter first. Sarah took that as her cue to enter the house and as she entered her eyes took everything in. The house had two stories to it. The downstairs was just a large room without any walls to separate the different areas. In front of Sarah as she entered was a fireplace with two small beat up chairs and a matching beat up couch facing it. In the far right corner of the house was what appeared to be a little kitchen with a small fire pit. I guess thats how they cook their meals. There were cabinets above the small countertop. Also in the kitchen ares was a wooden table with three wooden chairs of different sizes surrounding it. Each chair looked about the right size for each of her friends. There was a fourth chair against the wall that looked to be about the right size for a human. Sarah's curiosity was piqued and she had to ask,
"That fourth chair looks to be the right size for a human. Who is the fourth chair for? Do you have many human guests?"
"No. We's got it just in case," Hoggle stammered, hoping Sarah wouldn't ask just in case of what. Alas Hoggle wasn't that lucky.
"Just in case of what?"
Sarah asked the stammering dwarf.
"Well, we wasn't sure if you was ever coming back to the Labyrinth. And just in case you did we wanted to be prepare."
Sarah felt like she could cry. They had been hoping she would return and they had even had made accommodations in case she did return.
"Hoggle thats so sweet of you guys."
Hoggle blushed at her praise.
"Wells, this is the downstairs. With the kitchen and sitting area. There be the stairs to the upstairs that has the private rooms."
Hoggle said this while pointing to the staircase that ran along the left wall of the house.
"Oh. By private rooms, do you mean your bedrooms?"
Sarah felt silly asking the question. She was 24 years old and here she was back in the Labyrinth and she felt 15 again. She had all these questions and she wasn't sure who to ask them to. Such as this curse. She wanted to know more about it. Maybe she would ask Hoggle later.
"Yes. Upstairs is the bedrooms. Ludo and I sleep up there."
Sarah looked puzzled.
"What about Sir Didymus? Sir Didymus where do you sleep?"
"That tree yonder, my Lady is where I stay to rest."
Oh that makes sense. When I first met him by the Bog of Eternal Stench he had been inside that tree. I didn't know foxes lived in trees, but this is the Labyrinth so I guess its not that strange.
Sarah looked at the couch accepting that this was where she was going to be sleeping for the next three weeks.
"So I'm guessing I get to sleep on the couch."
It was more of a statement then a question, but Sarah was surprised when Hoggle answered in the negative.
"No Sarah. There is an extra bedroom upstairs that you can use. Like I mentions earlier we was hoping that you would come back again and wes had a room with human sized stuff for yous prepared."
Sarah felt tears stinging her eyes. These were the best friends anyone could ever ask for. Here they had prepared a place for her in their home even though they had lost contact all those years ago. I can't believe that I didn't keep in contact with them. How did I ever live without them.
"Thank you all so much."
Sarah gave each of her friends a huge hug. Each one saying that she was welcome and then bidding her goodnight they adjourned to there proper rooms. Hoggle lead Sarah upstairs and to the second door on the right. He explained that this was her room because there was a personal bathroom inside so that she didn't have to share with him and Ludo. Sarah again felt the tears threatening to spill. They were being so generous and considerate and they did it all without expecting anything in return. They are true friends.
Sarah opened the door to her bedroom. It was a relatively simple room. The far walls had three windows on it and the human sized bed came out from that wall, beneath the center window. When I lie down I can lean my head back and gaze at the sky. Sarah saw that on each side of the bed were two tables. They could be considered night stands because they technically were used as such even though in truth they were simply just tables. Against the right wall Sarah saw that there was a vanity with a small stool in front of it. Also there was a door which Hoggle said lead to her bathroom. Along the left wall there was another door, which Sarah assumed lead to a small closet and there was a dresser along the wall as well.
"Hoggle before I say goodnight can you please tell me about the curse?"
Hoggle was caught off guard by the question. He tought that perhaps she had forgotten about it the curse. I guess not. Hoggle thought to himself.
"I'll tells ya tomorrow night, Sarah. Its been a long day and ya needs your rest."
Sarah nodded her head. She didn't want to wait till tomorrow night, but at least he was going to tell her so she didn't want to push him.
"Well then, goodnight Hoggle. And thank you for everything."
"Your welcome. Goodnight Sarah."
With that Hoggle shut the door and Sarah was left alone in her new room.
