"Hey Norma, we won't have to battle Humongous, will we?"
"Oh lord, not that beast, I don't think so, last I know Uncle J was still playing with the schematics for the "new and improved" version" Norma emphasized herself with air quotes.
Boromir sniffed, some sweet and rich smell was nestled in the air, he inhaled deeply trying to pinpoint it. Puck looked on puzzled as Boromir began to stray from the group.
"Man, you had best stick close." He shouted to Boromir, who just waved him off and continued to walk down a path to the right.
"I wonder what's up with him?"
Norma shrugged and followed Puck who was catching up to Boromir. Boromir stopped slowly in front of one of the dwellings, he closed his eyes and filled his lungs with the sweet air, pressing his hand against the old wood door he pushed it open and walked into the dwelling.
A-M ran to catch up with the others, stopping short at the house where they stood.
"What's here?" She asked.
"Well, it's the Goblin Sweets Shoppe"
"Oh no."
"Brace yourself, I have a feeling this is going to be worse than Willy Wonka." Norma announced as she threw the door open. A-M walked in behind Puck, immediately she was enveloped in sugary sweet air.
"'Allo there, dearies." A pink goblin girl said from behind the counters, "Oy, Puck! Don't tell me you have run out of chocolate syrup again?" She exclaimed. A-M though she saw Norma's ears tinge a bit on the pinkish side.
A-M coughed back a laugh, and looked away.
"No, no, Sweetie, I actually haven't come for that, although I do see you have a new flavor back there..." Norma swatted Puck's arm and he just winked at her, "Actually we are here because a friend of ours just came in I believe?"
"Oh! Him? The big man? All brutish and hairy?"
"That's the one." Puck chuckled.
A-M muttered under her breath, making Norma burst into laughter.
"Well let's go and find that hairy, brutish man, shall we?" Puck offered his arm to Norma and gestured for A-M to walk in front of them.
"He was in the back room, last I knew! Just walk straight back." Sweetie informed the group.
A-M was amazed at all of the different sweets the Goblin store held, they were currently in the taffy section, brightly colored trays of taffy were all around, A-M felt dizzy from all the sugar that was in the air.
Finally they came to the back room. It was lit in a reddish glow, sconces were on the wall burning candles behind colored glass.
"He should be back here, somewhere." A muffled crunching sound was coming from the far left side of the room.
"I think I hear something," Norma tugged on Puck's sleeve.
"Yeah, me too, maybe its him. Hey, Boromir! You here?" A-M shouted over towards the crunching. A scuttling and boots crunching something came in response along with a few colorful phrases.
"That certainly sounds like him, well him with a mouthful." Puck smirked.
Jareth grinned at the imaged his crystal ball presented, while perched on his window sill.
"Oh silly muse, you created your own mess here. " A smile passed over his lips, "Two brunettes an elf and a man who should be dead are in a labyrinth, which one gets lost first?" He asked the world at large, chuckling at his wit. Off in the distance a "bah dah bah" of a drum set was heard followed closely by a collective groan.
A-M's jaw dropped as she took in the sight before her.
