Gk: -sitting in chair with a steriotypical fireplace in the backround and reading a book. Looks up to the audience and looks at them if they caught him off guard- Oh, I didn't see you there. Welcome to another installment of… -Fireplace scene falls backwards and goblins can be seen running around in the backround. Jareth looks really mad- What on EARTH DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING? -looks back at the audience - Sorry about that folks, just having a few –kicks goblin- technical difficulties.

Weeks later

Gk: -walks out onto an empty stage- I appologize for large technical difficultes we experianced last time we tried to open this chapter. Never the less, welcome to chapter 7 of Maze of the –book flies across stage, jareth ducks- Ha! Didn't get me that time Lily! You have the aim of a drunk goblin, wait, that of a regular goblin since they are always drunk anyways. –Five books fly towards him, he dodges. Goblin King is looking slightly nervous- Oh come on! Can I just finish off introducing the story?

Lily: Yes, hurry up with it! You have had nearly a month to construct that ridiculous set which you decided to build using the help of your goblins… and failed. So if you don't finish off your monologue in 20 seconds –Big timer comes down from the ceiling with red lights, like you would see at a sporting events.- Time is a ticking Goblin King –Timer starts to count down-

Gk: Well welcome to this new chapter of Maze of the Mind, my appologies for its tardiness. If you have a complaint, please send it to the goblins which are currently occupying the bog of eternal stench. Anyways, on the show!

-Lily is behind the Goblin King with a book in hand. The timer hasn't reached zero yet, but has her hand raised-

SLAP!

Lily: Sorry everyone. I know this has been late, but fancy pants has been keeping me busy with that construction for the fireplace and everything. Anyways, I needed that. I feel so much better now.


"Well, well, well. Look at what we have here. A little lost are we?" I know that voice. The Goblin King is here to taunt me. Everything began to light up as he lit one of the candles in the room.

"I'm not lost. I know what I'm doing, I read Sarah's story." I replied. I tried my hardest to hide the fear I had for him.

"My offer still stands. You can use your last wish to leave the Oubliette." He said walking over towards me; I automatically started to back away.

"I will not use that last wish of mine just yet Goblin King. I will not let you keep Sarah and I will complete the Labyrinth." While I was saying this I could feel my fear seeping through, I hope he didn't notice it.

"You really ought not to fear me. I have been generous but I can be cruel. My offer still stands, return back home, become an actress and forget about Sarah."

"No."

"Good Luck getting out of the Oubliette." He disappeared.

Ok, think Nicole, think. What did Sarah do to get out of the Oubliette? Wait, how much time do I have left? 9 hours remaining to get to the castle. Hoggle helped Sarah at this part of the story. Why can't I remember this part? He picked up something and put it to the door. I looked around the room and saw a big piece of wood. Now I remember! Hoggle used the piece of wood and put it up against that wall and I turned to face the wall. I picked up the big piece of wood and put it up against the wall and turned the door handle. Pots and pans started to fall on top of me and I hurried to close the door again so I wouldn't get covered in pots and pans again. I turned the door handle again and the door opened to a new path.

I made my way down the path and the walls started to yell things to me about going to wrong way.

"Turn around."

"This is not the path you want."

"Certain doom awaits you."

"The false alarms, I must be on the right path then." I said to myself.

I turned left down a path which was exactly like Sarah described. I looked around to see if the Goblin King or a beggar or both was there considering she lost time for saying that the Labyrinth is easy. I kept walking down the path until I reached the door that Sarah described and pushed it open, after about 10 attempts. I climbed the ladder and pulled off the top lid thing to climb out of the pot. I looked around and pulled out my compass again to choose my path. I made my choice and put the compass away. I started walking in the direction the compass showed me. I doubled back on myself twice and got really frustrated. An owl flew over to the tree

"This isn't fair! I come to the same piece of rope nearly three times now." I scream, my frustration taking over.

"I wonder what your basis for that comparison is." I turned around to see the Goblin King sitting in the tree where the owl had been perched only moments ago.

"What do you care? You are just trying to distract me from completing the Labyrinth." That struck a nerve; he doesn't even know me and assumes my life is perfect.

"You still have plenty of time left, Sarah didn't get this far in this short amount of time and she had help from some of my subjects."

"She may have had help from your subjects but I can still remember parts of her story. I assure you it has been helpful getting past the doors and getting out of the Oubliette."

"How are you enjoying my Labyrinth?"

"Well, I wouldn't dare say it's a piece of cake." This brought a smile to his face.

"My, my you have definitely learnt from Sarah. But will it be enough to get you through the Labyrinth?"

"I think I am the only one to determine that. Now if you will excuse me, I need to keep moving."

"Aren't you hungry?"

"I might me, but as you said I have learnt from Sarah. Trusting you over food will not be something I will do soon, I don't even know how much time I can afford to lose with a masquerade." With this, he laughed.

"Fair enough, my offer still stands."

With that, he disappeared a peach fell out of the tree. The wind picked up for a moment and I'm sure I heard someone say should you feel hungry. I was not going to waste time with a masquerade so I picked up the peach and put it in my bag. I continued on my path that I had chosen.


Lily: So guys, what do you think? -Goblins are dragging the Goblin King offstage left- I'm sorry about hurting the Goblin King like that. I'm on a road trip from Florida to New York, and I was staying the night in Georgia (which currently has peached EVERYWHERE!) He was taunting me and trying to convince me to eat one. I stole his boot, he wasn't happy but we reached a deal about the peaches.

Please rate a review! They are keeping me sane, when dealing with the Goblin King for the next few weeks on this trip. =D
