Hello peoples. It is a lovely day. I did not post yesterday so I am terribly sorry. Moving on, here is your next chapter.
Disclaimer: Hello. National Cheese Day is on Friday. Eat cheese. I don't own this, but you knew that.
Chapter 12
Sarah awoke the next dayand pushed all thoughts of what had happened between her and Jareth to the back of her mind. Today she was going to see her friends.
She quickly got up and dressed. As soon as she was ready she went down to breakfast. Jareth was already there. Sarah walked to her seat and sat down.
"Good morning." Sarah said cheerfully.
"Good morning Sarah." Jareth wondered if she was as confused as he was about what had happened, but didn't want to bring it up in case she got mad.
"When do I get to go see my friends?" Sarah asked.
"As soon as you wish." Jareth replied.
"Ok, I'll go after breakfast. What are you doing today?"
"I have work to do." Jareth stated.
"Oh." Sarah said realizing he wasn't going to elaborate.
They finished the meal in an awkward silence. When they were done Sarah stood up. As soon as she stood, Jareth stood. Sarah laughed out loud, and Jareth looked over at her, raising a brow.
"Sorry, that was justso royal-y." Sarah laughed.
"Royal-y? What is that supposed to mean?" Jareth questioned.
"You know, how I got up and then you immediately stood as well. Nobody aboveground does that anymore." Sarah explained. "It was just strange to see outside of a movie screen."
"Right. Well I have to go now, you can transport yourself to your friends. Just summon a crystal and wish to be with your friends." And with that he disappeared.
Sarah sighed and then formed a crystal in her palm. She looked into it and thought of her friends. Soon she was at the front gate of the Labyrinth. She saw Hoggle spraying fairies.
"Hi Hoggle!" Sarah said.
"Sarah, what are you doing here?" Hoggle asked.
"I kind of live here now." Sarah told him.
"You live here, why?"
"Anna didn't win, and I couldn't let my brother be turned into a goblin. I traded places with him."
"You did? Where do you live?"
"In the castle." Sarah said.
"In the castle? Are you his servant or something?"
"No." Sarah said. "I guess I am more like a guest, at least that's the way I'm treated."
"That's strange."
"I suppose it is strange." Sarah said. "I did expect to be turned into a goblin or made a slave or something, but instead I do whatever I want, except go home."
"Jareth let you come here today?" Hoggle asked, worried that he would get angry.
"Yes. I've been bored at the castle."
"Well I'm working on the gardens today."
"I'll help you." Sarah said. "Especially with the fairies."
Hoggle smiled, remembering when the fairy had bitten her. "Ok, but I don't have an extra sprayer."
"I'll make one." Sarah said. She summoned another crystal and formed a sprayer.
Together they worked all day. When the sun started to set, Sarah decided to walk in the Labyrinth for a while.
"Where do you live?" Sarah asked Hoggle.
"Next to the Goblin City." Hoggle said.
"Why don't you live in the Goblin City?"
"Because then I'd have to be near the Goblins." Hoggle said
Sarah laughed. "They're not that bad."
"Yes, they are." Hoggle said. Sarah laughed again.
"The Labyrinth isn't as bad now that I don't have to rush through it." Sarah said.
"I guess." Was all Hoggle said.
"I guess if we actually live somewhere, we're more used to it. We take things for granted."
"Yeah." Replied Hoggle.
Together they walked through the Labyrinth, which, to Sarah's surprise, was not hard to get through at all.
"Hoggle, how come the Labyrinth is so easy to get through now?" Sarah asked.
"It's easy to get through if you live in this Kingdom or if you have beaten the Labyrinth already. With you, it's both."
"That's strange."
When they reached the city they walked quietly not wanting to have to talk to any goblins. Soon there were fewer houses and then there weren't any.
"Is your house close?" Sarah asked.
"Yeah, it's up ahead." Hoggle replied.
Sarah looked up and saw a small hut. It had a small garden, but Sarah had figured that he would have one after looking at the rest of the gardens Hoggle took care of.
"Well, I better go Hoggle, so that I don't miss dinner." Sarah said.
"Ok, bye Sarah."
"Bye Hoggle. I'll talk to you soon." Sarah formed a crystal and with a last wave goodbye, disappeared.
Sarah transported herself to her room. She was so happy to have been able to spend the day with her friend.
Sarah sat on her bed and grabbed a book from the table next to her, soon she was sleeping and forgot all about dinner.
