Disclaimer: I think you know by now that I don't own anything originally part of Labyrinth. This fic will end up with quite a few new characters of mine, however.

"You don't mean…"
"I'm afraid so," came a different voice into the conversation. The two girls had almost forgotten about Robert sitting there.
"She even sent a plane ticket for you," Karen added.
``~``end recap``~``
Sarah was now sitting in the first class passenger are of a plane heading towards a completely foreign land. It didn't help that the only relation she had in the whole place was someone that she didn't remember ever meeting.
She was shocked to hear where she was invited to stay, but curiosity eventually won out and she warily accepted the invitation. She didn't know much about her aunt, except that she was well known throughout the small country that she lived in. All this just made her wonder how her summer was going to turn out.
"Hi."
Sarah was shocked out of her reverie by a female voice right next to her. She was surprised to find that someone was now sitting next to her and that the plane was in the air. She didn't realize that she was lost in thought for that long.
The girl had wavy, strawberry blonde hair that fell to a little past her shoulders. Her blue eyes had such a quality to them that they made you wonder about what she knew and wasn't letting on to. She was wearing black stretch pants and a red colored peasant top and a smile lit up her face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," she said sincerely before starting to ramble on. "My name is Kali by the way. That must've been some place you were at though, to make you so unaware of your surroundings like that. I wish I could get lost in thought like that sometimes… Hey, are you alright? Is this your first time on a plane or something? You look nervous," Kali asked of the girl next to her who seemed very pale, even for what she's used to seeing.
"Hi Kali. No, this isn't my first time on a plane. I am nervous though. I'm meeting my aunt and uncle for, what I believe to be, the first time once this plane lands. Oh, and my name is Sarah."
"It's nice to meet you Sarah. I'm sure that you have nothing to worry about though. Everyone there that I know is rather nice," Kali told Sarah in hopes of claming the girl's nerves, at least a little bit.
"That's good to hear," Sarah replied with a slight smile starting to form on her face. "What about you? I take it that you've been here before. Do you vacation here often or something?" She liked this girl and was glad to have someone to talk to on the long flight. 'Hopefully I'll see Kali sometime this summer as well. I'll need a friend if this doesn't work out well,' Sarah thought to herself.
"Actually, I just finished with my vacation. I'm on my way back home now," Kali replied.
The two girls quickly became friends and started talking about anything and everything that came to mind, though secretly they were each avoiding one certain topic. After awhile though, they both succumbed to the sweet pulls of sleep.
~*~~~*~~~*~
Kali and Sarah woke up to the sounds of both the plane and the people around them getting ready to land.
"You ready?" Kali questioned her new friend.
"As ready al I'll ever be," replied Sarah with a nervous hitch to her voice.
"Don't worry. You'll like it here. I'll make sure of it."
"Thanks."
By now the plane had landed. Everyone was gathering up their things and deboarding the flight. They all seemed to know where they were going, and that just made Sarah feel more at ease. Not knowing what else to do, she just followed her new friend to find her luggage.
"My boyfriend is supposed to be here to pick me up. I'd like you to meet him," Kali told Sarah as they found the area to pick up their luggage. "Look, there he is!"
Sarah looked to where her friend was pointing and saw a pretty good-looking boy with auburn colored hair. Like his girlfriend he was wearing black pants, but he had on a midnight blue shirt instead of a peasant blouse. At his feet were piled about four bags, two of which looked curiously like her own. "He even got your luggage for you. That's sweet," Sarah said as she sprinted across the room beside Kali on their way to the girl's boyfriend.
"Isn't her though? Too bad he got confused and picked up someone else's luggage along with mine," she said half to Sarah and half to the guy that they had just ran to get to with a teasing look on her face. "Oh! Before I forget; Juan this is my new friend, Sarah and Sarah I'd like for you to meet my boyfriend, Juan."
"It's nice to meet you," Sarah said as she held out her hand for Juan to shake.
"And you as well my lady," Juan replied as he brought her hand to his lips and kissed the back of it.
Sarah just blushed, not being used to this kind of greeting.
"Would you stop embarrassing my friend and tell me who those bags belong to?" Kali practically screamed. She was losing her patience with this matter rather quickly.
"Calm down girl!" Sarah all but shouted to get the girl's attention. It also got the attention of most everyone within hearing range, but they quickly lost interest in her and went back to their business. "They're mine. I think that the more appropriate question now would be as to what they are doing with your boyfriend," she stated as they both turned towards Juan for the answer.
"Actually, I was asked to pick you up. Since I was already coming here I saw no problem with the request. Well, that and I just can't pass up the opportunity of meeting and escorting a beautiful girl such as yourself," Juan replied as he specifically looked to Sarah. He had a mischievous grin on his face as he held out his arm for Sarah.
Sarah saw the look that he had and decided to play along with his little game; improv could be fun at times. She put her arm through his and they stared to walk towards the exit. After walking just a few feet however, Juan turned back around to face his girlfriend. "Do hurry up with those bags, we don't have all day."
"Oh, and do be careful. We don't want anything to get lost or broken cause of your clumsiness," Sarah added.
With that said, the 'couple' turned back away from Kali and headed once again towards the exit trying their best not to laugh.
Kali would have none of it, however. She quickly caught up with her friends and pulled them back to help her. "Oh no you don't! You're not leaving me to carry everything!"
The two decided not to make and even bigger scene than they already had, so they went willingly back with Kali. All three of them were laughing by the time they got all of the luggage in to Juan's car.
