Disclaimer: Guess what!!!! I bought Labyrinth!!!!!! I want to get the book too…do any of you know where they sell it??? Oh well. I don't own: any of these characters besides Firefly, and Derek, and Derek's castle. But his castle isn't a character is it? Nope. Okay, on with the fic! Remember…. Firefly's POV!

Chap. 4

I yawned, and stretched. "Time to wake up Sarah…" I mumbled groggily. I looked outside it appeared to be…daytime. "Sarah! Time to get up!" I shouted running into her room. I stopped at the door. "Sarah…awake already?? What time is it!?" I yelled running back to my room to look at the clock. "…It's…. 14'o'clock…. that helps…"

I sighed. "Well maybe I should change…" I mumbled to myself looking down at my clothes, which were still my pajamas. I raised an eyebrow. "Yup. Definitely need something more suitable!"

I walked into the closet and stood there staring for a few minutes. Rows and rows of dresses, they all looked really expensive. I grabbed a dark green dress that had a v-neck, which was cut a little too short for her taste, and instead of wearing the shoes they had there she sighed and walked out of the closet with the dress. "No sense in shoes…. or dresses…my style doesn't match there's at all!" She added hitting her forehead. "Oh well. I'll just have to live with it!"

Once I got the dress on I quickly put my hair into a ponytail, and put on my shoes. (By the way, her shoes are black combat boots that reach just below the knee ^^; k? See why it doesn't fit in with the elegant dress? Heehee.) 'Now to find Sarah…' she thought to herself and walked out of the room.

Sarah sighed sitting at a small table with Jareth and Derek. "Where's Firefly?" She asked not feeling comfortable alone with them.

"I guess she's still asleep. Or she maybe lost…I'll go check on her…" Derek smiled and left his seat walking out of the room leaving Sarah and Jareth alone.

There was an uncomfortable silence.

"…Well, Jareth, stolen anymore helpless children? Tortured any poor teenagers through 13 hours of hell lately?" Sarah asked her voice full of loathing.

Jareth glared. "It does not concern you, and if you remember correctly, you asked that Toby be taken! I simply obeyed your wish! I was being extremely generous!"

Sarah glared. "Generous! If you recall I asked you to give him back, and you just made me spend 13 hours in your Labyrinth! I almost died!"

There was another long silence.

"I let you win, I would've sent you back home even if you had not have made it! It's just to teach people like you a lesson. Believe me, you wouldn't have died…"

"And if you had told me that earlier, I could've just sat there at the gates of the Labyrinth for 13 hours! You were certainly not generous!" She yelled.

Jareth stood up slamming his fist on the table. "Damn it! I did everything you wanted! I only did what you expected me to do! Or have you still not figured that out?" He shouted back.

There was another long silence. A few seconds later an elf walked in with a tray full of food and set it on the table, then left once again leaving the two alone. They ate in silence, each of them glancing up at each other through the corners of their eyes every few seconds.



I grinned looking at a room full of stairs going every direction (like near the end of the movie in Jareth's castle)

"Looks like Sarah's poster…" I smiled. "This is so cool!" I shouted and ran up one of the staircases. "Woo hoo!!! Sarah doesn't know what she's missing!" I tried to run onto one of the stairways that was upside down, and surprisingly I found myself standing on it. "I'm upside down, and I'm standing! It's a miracle!" I laughed loving the sound of the echoes.

"No, it's magic" I heard a voice correct me. I looked up (or down if she was right side up)

"Oh! Hi Derek! This is cool! I want a room like this!" I grinned and ran to another staircase that ran sideways along the room.

Derek laughed a bit. "Come on now! Get down, breakfast is ready"

"Breakfast at 14'o'clock? You must be mad!" I laughed.

Derek sighed. "Come on! I'm not joking! I left Sarah alone with Jareth!"

I looked up (down) at him. "Bah buh bum!" I grinned. "They'll be alright! Like I said, Sarah really likes him! And if you're that worried…then you'll…" I got suddenly serious.

"Then I'll what?" asked Derek confused by my sudden change of attitude.

"Then you'll…have to catch me!" I shouted laughing, and running up more steps.

Derek grinned. "You'll be sorry you said that!" He responded grinning devilishly.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Sarah hardly touched anything on her plate. The food did look good…it was actually normal food too…which she found hard to believe. "er….Jareth sorry about blowing up like that…" Sarah said finally apologizing. "Sometimes my temper…is just I don't know. Uncontrollable…" she finished.

Jareth smirked. "Finally admitting I'm right then?" He asked smugly.

Sarah sighed. "Jareth! I'm trying to be nice and apologize here, but you're still being your arrogant self and won't at least apologize for getting angry or anything!"

Jareth sighed and shook his head. "Always so pushy…fine…I'll apologize…"

Sarah grinned. And after a few seconds said, "…well?"

"Well what?" Jareth responded in question form.

Sarah hit the table "You said you were gonna apologize!"

"Oh" Jareth scratched the back of his head. "I thought I did…"

"You're hopeless…you'll always be your same old self"



I grinned running down more steps "Woo-hoo! You can't catch me! I'm star in the track team at school!" I yelled looking behind me. "Derek…You there? Der-Ah!" I looked down (up) he was once again on the floor, and me upside down. "Aw…you're no fun!" I yelled pouting.

He grinned up at me. "Am I that dull? …Try some of this," he chanted something in a language I didn't understand, and then said, "…Fall"

"Huh?" I looked at my feet, and they were no longer on the stairs. Then everything sort of went in slow motion, I screamed and desperately tried to hold onto something, I kept falling. Then things went back to normal speed, and just when I was about to hit the ground…Derek 'caught' me.

"See? I told you'd I'd catch you…" he said smiling devilishly.

I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Yeah, you did say that didn't you?" I smiled, and then noticed how close we were. Our faces were mere inches apart. Our faces got closer…and closer…and

"Firefly! You OK!? I heard the scream a-- …are we interrupting something?" Sarah asked standing next to Jareth in front of the door.

I looked over Derek's shoulder and blushed a dark crimson shade. I jumped out of Derek's arms and looked at Sarah nervously. "Um…word of advice…never try walking upside down on these stairs Sarah, it was fun…before Derek made me fall" I added glaring towards Derek.

Jareth smirked. "I think I understand now…"

Derek turned towards Jareth with a grin. "I'll explain in detail later…"

Jareth nodded. "Alright, until then I suggest we finish breakfast…"

I nodded. "Yup. I'm starved. It's probably almost 15'o'clock now isn't it?" I laughed grinning. "Time sure is weird here…"

Sarah grinned. "I know," She laughed along with me.

I stopped laughing. "Ah! Sarah! Y-You're! You're! I said pointing.

"W-What!?" Sarah yelled as if I was about to say something really bad.

"You're!! …Happy." I finished with a shrug. "Seems strange. Something good must've happened." I added moving my eyebrows up and down.

Sarah hit her forehead. "Oh please. Firefly, let's hurry and go eat…"

I grinned. "Okay…have it "your" way. Like always! Oh! Derek, Jareth … can we go to town?! I looked out my bedroom window, and, and, and, I saw a city that looked really, really, really futuristic! Can we go!? Please!"

Jareth sighed annoyed. "Fine. After we eat…we're not buying you anything…you know that right? Good."

I frowned. "Meanie!" I responded blowing raspberry.

Derek smirked a little. "Don't worry my dear Firefly…I'll buy you something…within reason. Only one thing though, so choose wisely." He added.

I grinned. "I will! Thanks!" I smiled widely. "I'll choose the best thing there! Just wait and see!" I giggled and ran towards the kitchen to catch up with the others who had by now already left me behind.
