Disclaimer - I do not own the Labyrinth or the Narnia Chronicles or anything else for

that matter.

A/N - A very very very short chapter today. This story will get better, if not a little

chaotic so please bear with me and please R & R. Thank you.

Yes Augusta, they will get into trouble. Hint hint!

"So what the hell am I supposed to do Underground?" Asked Hilarity nervously. They

were in Jareth's study. A rather sombre room which contained his slightly disturbing

collection of pickled reptiles. Trin was eyeing them with a morbid fascination.

"Just keep an eye on things, make sure everything runs smoothly." said Jareth.

"Why do you want me to do this? Why not ask one of your fae friends?"

"Would you trust anyone you met yesterday?" he said.

"Not as far as I could throw them." said Hilarity thinking back to the wedding

reception and shuddering.

"Exactly my point. You're the only person I know who won't try to seize power while I'm gone."

"What if someone gets wished away?"

"That's very unlikely. The Labyrinth is quickly being forgotten in the mortal world. If

it does happen..." he handed her a crystal "...this should give you all the help you need.

If you want to contact me just say my name into the crystal and there are plenty of

books in the castle library if you're not sure about anything."

"And that's it, is it?"

"Pretty much. Any questions?"

"Just the one. Do I have to wear the tights or are they optional?" said Hilarity, they

laughed but Trin looked incredibly bored. "So where are you and Sarah going?"

"Tashbann. It's a city across the desert from Narnia."

"Oooh, plush!" they chatted away for a few minutes until Sarah came followed by

three Goblins burdened down with luggage. The happy couple said their goodbyes and

disappeared.
