DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE LABYRINTH IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
Tobey watched the confrontation between his sister and Jareth. It felt like there was sexual tension and hatred, sort of a love/hate thing.
"Anyway," he finally said, "Are you sure you want to do this Sarah?"
"Yes," said Sarah not taking her eyes from Jareth. "But there is one thing I would like to do before hand.
"Of course, whatever you would want," said Jareth.
"I would like to talk to Francine," said Sarah.
"Why would you want to do that?" asked Tobey.
"Don't question your sister Jareth," said Jareth.
"What did I ask?" asked Tobey.
"Suit yourself," said Jareth.
"Well at least me at least take the baby," said Tobey.
"Yeah that's fine," said Sarah handing Crystal to him.
"Escort Sarah to the dungeon," said Jareth to a nearby goblin. The minute they were gone Jareth walked over to Tobey and Crystal.
"Give me the child," he said.
"No," said Tobey back away with her.
"Tobey, don't defy me. I promise no harm will come to her. I need to her to be kept in a certain place before the test. I assure you she'll be fine," said Jareth. Tobey was about to protest only to suddenly realize he was no longer holding Crystal, Jareth was.
"Hey!" he shouted.
"Trust me Tobey she'll be fine. You honestly think that I'd hurt my own child?" said Jareth. "Why don't you just go back your room and get ready for dinner?"
"I don't want to….owe!" shouted Tobey when he felt another poke in his backside. He turned and glared at the goblin behind him with his spear who was laughing. "All right I'll go to my room. Believe or not you're a lot less subtle then my mom when she wants me to go to my room."
As Sarah came closer and closer to where Francine was being kept the more her temper was raising, thinking about that comment she had made about Michael apparently cheating on her.
Now that she thought about, the more it started to make sense. She remembered how Michael was always telling her not to come to the office and the few times she had, she'd get some scared or dirty looks from some other women that work there. Or how there would be times she would find him in alone with one flirting or playing with her hair. Than he get mad and yell at her for coming down when he had told her not to.
"Here we are," said her guide when they came to a cell. Sarah looked in and saw Francine pacing back and forth.
"Sarah there you are!" she said running to the bars, "You got to get me out of here!"
"Oh please, this place is too good for you. I think it'd better if they dropped you into an oubliette and forget about you altogether," said Sarah.
"Oh that's a good idea," said the guide.
"Do you mind?" asked Sarah.
"No this is interesting," said the guide.
"Sarah please just get me out of here," said Francine.
"I need to know something," said Sarah, "What was that you were saying about Michael having affairs at his old job?"
"Well let's just say there were something's you just couldn't do for him like he deserved," said Francine.
"You mean a mace to the face?" asked the guide.
"You never did think I was good enough for your son did you?" asked Sarah.
"Well I did encourage him to go out with you as a favor to Irene. You've really been nothing burden since I met you. She was sudden too busy worry about the step-daughter who was dealing with mother issues because her real one wised up and left her," said Francine.
"Well I'm sorry you feel that way. From now on you won't have to worry about me seeing as Crystal's not really your granddaughter. After this is all over I don't ever want to see or hear from you again. You can just stay here until then," said Sarah as she turned and walked away.
"Sarah, Sarah, don't forget about me down here! I don't like dark places like this," said Francine.
"It's not that dark," said Sarah before walking completely out of the dudgeon.
"Not yet," said the guide as he went and snuffed out all of the lights.
"Sarah!" called out Francine scared.
"What was that?" asked Sarah as she turned back to the guide.
"Nothing, follow me," said her guide leading her down the hall.
"Where are you taking me?" asked Sarah.
"Just here," said the guide leading her to a room and opening the door. Sarah looked around. It was the same room she and Tobey had been in originally. Tobey was also still there, but without her baby.
"Tobey what's going on? Where's Crystal?" asked Sarah walking into the room.
"Her daddy took her," said Tobey.
"What?" asked Sarah right as the door slammed shut behind her, "What the?"
She turned around and pounded at the door.
"Open up this door, open it right now!" she demanded.
"Sorry no can do until dinner," said a voice on the other side, "If I were you I'd hurry up and get ready."
"Huh?" said Sarah.
"You know, freshen up and change for the occasion," said the voice.
"Change?" said Sarah looking over at Tobey who shrugged his shoulders. Then he noticed a wardrobe off to the side of the room. He walked over and opened it to see a fancy dress and suit waiting for the two of them.
"I'm guess we're suppose to change into these," he said.
"Uh okay," said Sarah. She looked the dress over. It really looked familiar.
"Are we really going to have to wear these things?" asked Tobey.
"Looks like we'll have to," said Sarah grabbing the dress and walking behind a changing screen in the room.
"Are you sure about this?" asked Tobey as he too changed.
"We are more or less at his mercy a long as we're here, so it's best just to go along with this for right now," said Sarah as she finished putting on the dress and stepped out from behind the screen.
"Wow, never seen you look that good before, not even on your wedding day," said Tobey.
"Thanks," said Sarah. Then they heard a knock at the door.
"Are you ready?" asked the voice.
"Yes, yes we're ready," said Sarah. The door opened and the two stepped out.
"Follow me," said the goblin leading them to a very bright and decorated dinning room.
"Please come in and have a seat," said Jareth, taking Sarah's hand and leading her to a seat. He even pulled the chair out for her.
"So what's for eats?" asked Tobey as he took a seat. A plate was put in front of him. "Is that slime and snails?"
"The finest we can offer," said server.
"Yummy," said Tobey.
"Where's Crystal?" asked Sarah.
"Safe, ready for us to have our contest," said Jareth.
"So are we going to do it?" asked Sarah.
"Yes of course we are," said Jareth, "But there's no need to rush things."
"I want my baby!" snapped Sarah. Just then music started to fill the room.
"Where's that coming from?" asked Tobey.
"I know that song," said Sarah.
As Such A Sad Love
Deep in Your Eyes, A Kind Of Pale Jewel
"Sarah would you like to dance?" asked Jareth offering her his hand.
Sarah looked at it unsure. Finally she took it and standing up with Jareth. The two walked to the center of the room and started to dance around the room.

I'll Place The Sky Within Your Eyes
"You look beautiful Sarah," said Jareth, "But then again you've always been beautiful."
"Thank you," said Sarah.
"But you seem tense," said Jareth.
"I just want my baby is all," said Sarah.

"Sarah, I really don't want to do this anymore then you do," said Jareth. "Believe me I'd like nothing more then to make sure you and your baby could be together forever."
"Then just give her to me," said Jareth.
Within Your Heart. I'll Place The MoonWithin Your Heart. As The Pain Sweeps Through,"Sarah you know I can't do that," said Jareth.
"I guess you have your reasons more or less," said Sarah, "But can't you just find it your heart to give her to me?"

"Sarah, think about what I ask you before. You could stay here with me and we could all be a family a real family together," said Jareth. "You know how I feel about you and I will do everything in my power to make you happy."
Sarah looked at him.
Falling.
Falling Down.
Falling In Love.
"What do you say Sarah?" asked Jareth.
"I say we should go ahead and just get this thing started all ready," said Sarah. "I want my baby and I want her back now."
