A/N: This is my first posted Labyrinth Fan Fiction. I have one other almost ready to be posted here. Please be constructive in the reviews.
I have made this 10 yrs after Sarah's trip through the Labyrinth making Toby 11 and Sarah 27 (for my purposes making her 17 in the movie)
Chapter 1 The Rekindling
Sarah laughed as she watched her brother, Toby, do a Clown-Dive as he'd dubbed it, into the pool. After she recovered herself, she made her way over to one of the deck chairs and sat down with her iced cappuccino.
She sat there reading casually as she watched over her brother now, eleven years old. She had her sunglasses secure over her eyes to keep the sun out; a modest one piece cornflower-blue swimsuit on—although she'd yet to jump in the water—her hair cut short for a bit of volume and worn to fall just below her shoulders.
Taking a sip of her iced cap, she started to choke as a shadow moved over her from behind and stayed there. "Toby, don't you think it's enough with the antics. I'm trying to keep my mind off that stalk—"Sarah trailed off as she turned around to face, not her brother, but the Goblin King himself.
Eyebrows shooting up to her hairline, mouth parting softly she quickly recovered. "What are you doing here? I didn't wish anyone away." She informed in with icy accusation in her tone.
Only Jareth could pull off a dignified tsk as he draped himself in one of the upright deck chairs next to hers. "I don't have to have a child wished away into my care to come aboveground, my dear."
A look of horror moved through Sarah's eyes like fast moving storm clouds across the sky above water. "Then what are you doing here?" She scanned the people in the pool in a panic and relaxed almost visibly when she found Toby.
"Relax, Sarah, I'm not here to take Toby…and he's much too old." Jareth told her as he, too, spotted Toby—not that it took him much looking. He was, after all, the Goblin King.
Sarah took the moment Jareth spent watching Toby to study him and did a double take, barely holding back a gasp. Jareth looked really different. Hair cut really short, slightly highlighted as was the style and in none other than sunglasses and swimming…Sarah's throat nearly closed as she fought to swallow while looking away. Jareth in a pair of Speedos and nothing else…whoa… what was the world coming to?
"You look good, Sarah." Jareth said suddenly, bringing Sarah's eyes back to his. "Then again, you always did." He said with an almost approving sound in his voice.
"Thank you." Sarah said slowly, "You look…different," was all Sarah could come up with to say in return, causing Jareth to laugh wholeheartedly. "It's only magic, Sarah, nothing more and nothing less. Oh! And sunless tanning spray." Jareth added, keeping a very serious expression causing Sarah to crack up laughing.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Sarah exclaimed, wiping her eyes free of laughter induced tears.
Jareth spread his arms wide, palms up, in an blameless expression. "Come on, Sarah, even my magic needs a little help sometimes." He replied, lips twitching about.
"You—you're teasing me!" Sarah screeched eyes wide with disbelief.
Jareth chuckled quietly. "Don't look so shocked, Sarah. I'm not the evil villain you painted me…surely you know that by now. In any case," Jareth went on without waiting for Sarah's answer, "I want to know how you've been. Tell me."
Sarah sat there in silence for a moment still trying to take in the fact that the Goblin King was acting very amicably towards her.
