Glad the next day was Saturday, Trevor spent most of his free-time in his room, practicing making crystals so that it would be effortless when he went to show Victoria. When he decided he was ready, he ran down the street to her house, very excited about the news he was about to give her. "Vickie?" he asked, knocking on the door. "Vickie!" He grinned as she opened the door." I know what's goin' on," he told her, proudly.

Victoria raised an eyebrow as it sank in what Trevor was telling her. "How can you have figured it out already?" she asked. Trevor grinned, excited. "We're twins!" he told her. "Our father came to me last night in a dream and told me everything!" Victoria just shook her head and pulled him inside so he wouldn't attract unwanted attention, then up to her room.

"Now," she said, "will you please explain to me what you're talking about?" Her friend nodded. "I was having trouble sleeping last night, and then I had this dream. A man who looked a lot like an older version of me came to me in my dream and said he was our father! And he told me about the necklaces and about the danger our world is in. Victoria, our parents are Jareth and Sarah! You know, from Labyrinth? We belong in the Underground!"

Victoria just shook her head again. "Trevor, I know you love fantasy and all, and I know you want desperately for that to be true, but Labyrinth is just a movie. It's not real." Trevor took a deep breath before responding. "It is real, Vickie! Watch!" Trevor then produced a crystal, handing it to her. Victoria looked at the perfect round crystal in her hand, then at Trevor. There was no where he could have hidden it.

"What danger is our world in, and how do we get to our parents?" she asked her brother. Trevor explained everything to her.

As Victoria and Trevor looked around themselves, they found themselves in a forest glen. On the other side of a small creek was a crude shelter, which must be where their parents were. Victoria looked around in wonder, her practical mind wondering how the sky could be blue and orange at the same time. Magic, of course. Victoria loved magic, but the only magic she knew was part science, part illusion. Nothing more.

Trevor, meanwhile, looked around in complete awe. He had always dreamed of being in the Underground, and now he was here. Not only that, but his parents, his real parents, lived in that small shelter just across the creek from them, and his best friend was his twin sister! Despite the danger his father said was a threat to their home, their land, Trever felt more at peace than he ever had.

"Come on," Trevor said, taking Victoria's hand as he started running towards the stream. "Mother! Father! We're home!" he called out. Jareth and Sarah, hearing it, stepped outside. Jareth, knowing his wife would want to hug their children as soon as possible, used his magic to teleport them across the stream, which would be easier than stopping them to get them to use the stepping stones instead of trying to wade across.

Sarah quickly gathered her twin children into her arms, tears of joy streaming down her face. Jareth, in turn, wrapped his arms around all three of them. His family was together again at last. The happiness wouldn't last long, though, he knew. They'd have to face Doriath and his minions soon enough, and then any one of them could be lost for good.
