Chapter 4: Reunion

             "I wish I knew how to get my Jadyn back, right about now", she mumbled to herself.  Without her conscience knowledge that the words she had just said, were the RIGHT words.  She sighed again, and gazed deeply within the pond.  As she did this, she noticed three figures looming on the bridge behind her.  Sarah spun around to see who it was, and came face to face with a big shaggy beast.  "Ludo!" Sarah cried.  "Oh, I'm so happy to see you," she buried her face into his orange chest.  "Sawah back," Ludo announced.  Sarah removed her face and looked behind Ludo.  To her left, fidgeting nervously was Hoggle, and to her right was Sir Didymus, looking as knightly as ever upon his loyal steed, Ambroscious.  "Oh, Hoggle.  I missed you, too," Sarah said, as she bent low and grabbed Hoggle into a hug.  He reluctantly hugged her back.  "And you, too, Sir Didymus."  "I'm honored to be at your service again my lady," Sir Didymus replied, bowing low.  "How did you all get here?" Sarah inquired, glancing around nervously.  "You said the right words, missy.  You know, like when you wished yer baby brother away."  "I don't understand Hoggle.  I didn't wish anyone away."  "I know you didn't, but you said the words in just the right way, and it brought us here.  See your world is like a door, and your right words are the key." Hoggle explained.  "Oh, O.K.  Well then, com to my place, and I'll explain everything to you.  I'm worried someone is going to see you out here, and they won't understand who you three are."  "You won't have to worry about that, fair maiden, no one can see us but you, unless we make our prescence know."  "Oh, well, let's go back to my apartment anyway so it won't look like I'm talking to myself."  "Right," Hoggle agreed.

              Sarah unlocked the door to her two-bedroom apartment, and held the door open for her friends to get in.  Once inside, she invited them all to have a seat, while shes returned the stroller to Jadyn's bedroom.  Sarah sat on the couch next to Ludo, while Sir Didymus sat in the armchair, and Hoggle and Ambroscious occupied the love seat.  "Fair maiden, I believe thou was going to tell us why thou has called us hither," Sir Didymus said.  "I was getting to the Didymus.  Well, what I'm about to tell you may shock and horrify you, but it's the truth.  Here goes nothing.  Jareth and I have a daughter," Sarah explained, as she glanced around looking at their shocked faces.  "She was kidnapped three days ago, and I don't know what to do," Sarah said, fighting back a sob.  "Sarah," Hoggle said, as he walked up to her, and took her hand.  "What you did happened in the past, and it may have been a mistake, but we're here for you now.  We'll help you get your baby back, even if it's Jareth's child, too."  "Oh, thank you, Hoggle.  Her name is Jadyn, and I know you guys would love her, if you only had a chance to meet her.  She's so adorable.  She has my green eyes, but she still resembles Jareth a lot.  She also has my hair color."  "Sounds like we need a plan of attack.  I shall fight anyone, anywhere, any place, any time!  I shall fight them all to thy death," Sir Didymus announced fiercely.  "That very well may be Didymus, but I still don't know who took Jadyn, and why," Sarah explained gravely.
