Still don't own any of this stuff, never will.

Sarah sighed as she looked up at the tall double doors of the castle.

"I'm going to regret saying yes, aren't I?" she asked Hoggle.

Hoggle merely shrugged and limped over to the doors, banging on them.

"Who goes forth into the castle?" a sharp and familiar voice called out.

"It's me Sir Didymus, Sarah."

"Lady Sarah? How wonderful you have returned. We will be eternally grateful for your help," Didymus said as the doors opened and he came out, riding his noble sheep dog Ambrosius.

"I just hope I won't be eternally regretting this," Sarah murmured.

"My lady?" Didymus asked, slightly confused.

"Never mind," Sarah said with a shake of her head. "So, what's first?"

"First I shall escort you to your rooms where we have a tailor waiting for you," Didymus said, urging Ambrosius into a trot and motioning for Sarah to follow him.

After several twists and turns they arrived at a large door, which Sarah opened. Stepping inside, she nodded in appreciation as she glanced around the spacious bedroom. A huge canopied bed with midnight blue sheets took up one corner, and several chairs in matching blue lay scattered by a large window overlooking the goblin city. A second door led to a darkly tiled bathroom and the last door led to a huge walk in closet.

Pacing impatiently in the bedroom was a goblin with a clipboard and a measuring tape.

"Is you the one I am to be measuring?" it asked Sarah.

Sarah nodded and walked over with a sigh. Allowing the goblin to take down every measurement she could think of and some that she didn't, she was glad when he finally scuttled out the door, muttering to himself about the measurements.

"Now what?" Sarah grumbled, sitting in one of the chairs and looking at Didymus.

"Now my lady, you shall be taught how to use the crystals and then how to shapeshift."

"I have no magic, how am I supposed to do anything?"

"Well my lady, we have a magic medallion that should give you enough powers to wield the crystals."

"Why do I have to learn to shapeshift?" Sarah asked, following Sir Didymus and Ambrosius from the room.

"Well, ah, hmm. Because that is how Jareth always traveled in your world unless taking the children," Didymus said in a hopeful voice.

"I'll try it, but I'm not agreeing that that's how I'll travel."

Sir Didymus nodded and led her into the throne room, where several goblins chattered amongst themselves and Hoggle stood by a table, glancing at what lay on its surface.

"I's wondering what's taking yous so long?" Hoggle said irritably.

"I had to be measured by a goblin," Sarah answered, looking at the medallion and black gloves on the table. The medallion looked exactly like the one Jareth had worn with one of his shirts, mini bull horns upside down attached to a chain. "That's a magic medallion? Looks more like a fertility symbol of some tribe," she muttered.

"Puts it on, puts it on, I's ain't got all day," Hoggle said, handing it to her.

With a sigh, she slipped it on, then tugged on the gloves. "Now what?"

"Now, you must, ah, picture a crystal," Didymus said, climbing up and sitting on the corner of the table.

"Riight." Sarah gave him a flat look and closed her eyes, trying to visualize a crystal. "Is it working yet?" she asked sarcastically.

"Well, ahh, somewhat?" Didymus said, slightly confused.

"Well, yous gots crystal. Now tries to thinks crystal ball, not crystal prism," Hoggle muttered.

Sarah looked at what she had in her hand and her eyes widened when she found herself holding a crystal prism, rainbows dancing on the opposite wall.

"I, I made a crystal," she murmured, slowly sinking onto the throne. "Magic," she whispered, with a slight smile.

Closing her eyes she took a deep breath and pictured the crystal that Jareth had shown her ten years ago.

"Yous gots it, yous gots it! I's knews yous was a natural," Hoggle said with a grin.

Sarah opened her eyes and grinned when she found a crystal ball the size of a pool ball, resting on the tips of her fingers.

"What do I do with it now?" she asked, forgetting that a few hours ago, she had thought all this was just a dream.
