Disclaimer: Aside from the collectibles I bought when this movie first came out, I own nothing related to Labyrinth. Certainly nothing in this story belongs to me so do not be deceived.
Sarah sat on the end of her bed trying to think of something to do to kill time until Matt came to pick her up. Since waking up that morning she had packed, re-packed, showered, cleaned her apartment, and she was now officially out of things to do. She knew that Jareth was behind this Labyrinth in Greenfield, only she couldn't figure out why. There was no direct relationship to her or Toby, so she doubted it was for revenge. If not revenge then... she wouldn't allow her thoughts to go any farther than that, but the butterflies in her stomach betrayed her. Just in case, she had taken John's suggestion and invited Matt to go with her. She wasn't going to face Jareth without some kind of ammunition, just in case she showed up to find him with a leggy blonde and a sneer. She looked at the clock - still 45 minutes before Matt would show up. Maybe she could ask Hoggle if he knew anything; it might help her prepare.
"Hoggle," she said, sitting in front of her mirror, "I need you."
"Well hiya Sarah. I was just thinkin' of ya." Hoggle said as he materialized beside her. Normally he and Sarah would exchange pleasantries and catch up a little, but today she cut to the chase.
"Hoggle tell me something. Is Jareth up to anything here Aboveground?"
Hoggle was somewhat taken aback. They had never mentioned Jareth after her return from the Labyrinth.
"Um, you mean besides takin' babies? Well, no, not that I know's of. Why d'you ask?"
Sarah told him about Greenfield and Jared G. King. Hoggle admitted it sounded like Jareth, although he didn't know why he was doing it.
"I guess we figured you woulda called on him by now. Maybe he's tired of waiting." he suggested.
"What in the world are you talking about? Why would I call him?"
"Psha. Come one, girl, don't pay dumb. You knows how he feels about you and how you feels about him. Why not just admit it?"
"Hoggle are you crazy? I don't have feelings for him!"
Hoggle rolled his eyes at her. He might not have been comfortable talking about love with Sarah, a subject he knew little about, but she was just being stubborn and since she had brought it up he continued to push the issue.
"Then how come in all the time I've known you you's never settled down?"
"I'm young, I'm not looking to 'settle down'."
"It's been 7 years Sarah. In 7 years has you ever been in love?" he pressed.
"I..." she stuttered, then stopped. 'Have you ever felt that spark?' she asked herself. 'After all this time and all these men, do any of them stand out from the crowd?' And then the memory of one man flickering in and out of a crowd until finally they come face to face. The memory of a dance...
