Disclaimer: All right, I don't own anything about the labyrinth,
final fantasy, or any other thing in this story *EXCEPT* Grace, Katie,
Carmen, and unfortunately Trevor.. hehehe
READ: Sorry for all the Jareth Bashing, I realized that it could be very offensive to some readers, but it's all in good fun. So if I hurt anyone in anyway, I am sorry. But just so you know, there will be further bashing of Jarey in the future.
ON WITH THE SHOW!!!
"Carmen, considering I've seen the Labyrinth about eight more times then you have and actually BEAT it, perhaps you should have let me deal with the 'helping hands'," I said, standing up and dusting my rear off.
"Sorry," She replied meekly. If ya haven't guessed yet, we are in an oubliette. It's not as bad as it sounds though.
"You know, this place always seemed sort of scary, but with a lamp or two and some flowers and purple curtains here or there, It'd be actually kind of nice," Carmen pointed out, walking around the oubliette. I raised an eyebrow.
"Uh," I started, "Yeah."
"I'm serious," Carmen said, whipping around to look at me.
"I know, that's the scary part," I replied, using the tone that borders between sincerity and joking.
"Don't use that you-can't-tell-if-I'm-joking-or-sincere-tone on me," Carmen smirked, and stuck her tongue out at me, "I know you to well." No response from me, I hate it when she is right, heh heh. I walked towards the wall. There was a faint indent in the stone that formed the shape of a door. I traced my finger along the wall, and turned towards Carmen. She looked at me intently.
"Ah, I think this is the way out of here," I smiled proudly, tucking a strand of brown hair behind my ear.
"Well, if you hadn't have found it, I would of soon enough," Carmen laughed, walking over to me.
"You always ruin my moments of glory," I whined jokingly, turning back to the wall, we both leaned against it, "Ready? One……. two…….. three……." We both pushed with all our strength, though Carmen, her and her athletic ness could have done it for both of us. Finally, we pushed the rock aside, toppling onto the floor.
"Ow, Katie get off of me," Carmen called, face burrowed into the ground.
"I can't," I cried, "I think I'm paralyzed." All of the sudden Carmen shifted and I was on the ground.
"I didn't think my leg could bend that way," Carmen said rubbing her left calve.
"I didn't think my SPINE could bend that way," I said, standing up, or attempting to, I was hunched over. Carmen laughed.
"Maybe you should come to the gym with me tomorrow," Carmen suggested casually.
"Gee, thanks buddy," I punched her in the arm. I turned and looked around our new surroundings. We had three choices on where to go: left, right, or straight.
"Where to now?" I asked, shoving the decision onto Car.
"Uh uh, you're the Labyrinth genius here," Carmen pushed back. All of the sudden, a loud, piercing scream echoed through the tunnels.

"When did you guys install a play station 2 here?" Grace asked, eyes glued to the television screen, her fingers moving rapidly on the controller. She was playing the latest Final Fantasy against Trevor, who was getting his butt-kicked.
"Huh? Oh, a few months ago, after I explained to Jareth all about this great stuff, he insisted that we modernize his castle," Trevor explained, his eyes also locked onto the screen.
"Ah," was all Grace replied. They were silent for a while, what could they talk about anyways? Grace was a normal teenage girl and Trevor, well, was…. Never mind…. I'm just going to stop here. The pair, though, did not know that someone was watching them in the shadows. Guess who it could be?
"Quite a pair those two make," Jareth thought, "Interesting that they aren't bickering. In most case scenarios, kidnappers are cruel, unjust, and the kidnapped person hates the kidnapper. But, I suppose I wasn't that way with Trevor, was I?"
"No," he said quietly, apparently he has regular conversations with himself. Creepy…
"Oh my god, how did you manage to pull that off, I was beating you so badly," Grace cried, throwing down the controller.
"I have no idea, I just pulled out a weapon I had acquired earlier but hadn't used, and BAM," he said that really loud, his eyes wide, "Your dead."
"Oh… ok… then," Grace said slowly. *Freak*
"And you, Trevor, my friend," Jareth said, finally coming out of the shadows, "Are fired."
"Huh?? Jareth?" Trevor looked confused, and Grace stared at the two.
"I want my job back, I want what I had before, before you took my life," Jareth said harshly.
"But," Trevor started, stepping toward Jareth, then tripped over the play station 2 controller's cord and fell to the ground. Grace tried hard to stifle her laugh.
"You've brought my kingdom to ruin," Jareth whispered, his eyes burning.
"Ok, it isn't that bad," Grace stepped in, lightening the tension, "Everything seemed like it was in proper working order, like in the movie."
"Movie?" Jareth asked, baffled.
"Oh never mind, anyways, Trevor, Jareth is right, you did take his job," Grace stated, "I think that maybe, if you both really want this, err, privilege, then maybe a partnership is in order?"
"No," Jareth answered, "I decided, and I am sorry, but I want things the way they were before you," he looked at Trevor, "And Katie, and that Scottish speaking actor entered into my life and disrupted everything." Trevor looked down, still entwined in the wire.
"As much as I enjoyed your company and everything, I guess some things should just never change," Jareth resolved. Trevor finally untangled himself from the cord and stood
"If you feel that way, you feel that way," Trevor said seriously, and might I add, when he gets all-serious and actually doesn't act like a dumbass, he can be a really great guy.
"Trevor, that was probably the smartest move you have ever made in the period that I have known you," Grace said to Trevor, actually kind of proud of the little twerp. Trevor smiled at her.
"So I suppose that means that Trevor and I are your prisoners and the only way of escaping your wrath…" Graced started to ask
"Bum Bum Bum," Trevor added, Grace glared at him, "Sorry."
"The only way of escaping your wrath is if Katie beats the Labyrinth in time?" She finished.
"Katie knows what she's doing, she's beaten the Labyrinth before," Jareth said, despite himself, he was after all, their capturer.
"Yeah, she has guts, nothing would stop her from getting her to rescue you," Trevor added.
"Oh," Grace arched a brow, *Why is he being so nice about Katie now?*
"Also, she wished a… Carmen, I believe her name is?" Jareth supposed, scratching his mullety (ew) head.
"Carmen?" Grace asked, "Awesome, this ought to be exciting for her."
"I haven't seen her in forever!" Trevor added excitedly, "Well, a year or so." Jareth turned and started towards his throne. As he sat down, he formed a crystal ball to check Katie and Carmen's progress. As the picture formed, his eyes widened.
"Oh… no…" Jareth said slowly. Trevor and Grace stared at him, he looked up at them, "Carmen and Katie are in a bit of trouble."
