WHEEEEEEEEEEE FUN!!! Lol. Guess what! I have two new Labyrinth fics!!! If you like this one, I hope you'll check them out. The one under the penname "Nightsailer" is called "What If". It takes place about a few hours after Sarah gets back from the Labyrinth. She starts having these weird dreams, showing her what would have happened if she had made different decisions during various parts of the Labyrinth. After a time (in later chapters) she decides to go to Jareth for help, but he's forgotten her. The question is, can she get him to help her before the nightmares consume her? The other one is one done by me and my friend SanoGirl under the penname Crystal Suns. It's called "Lover's Mirage". Sarah unknowingly bound Jareth to the Labyrinth when she defeated him, and for four years he has tried to find a way back to her. Then when she enters Julliard school for the arts, he has a great idea. So he sends a mirage to her in place of himself, it taking on the form of a human. But what if she falls in love with something that isn't even there? Some reads and reviews would be nice…
Ok I'll shut up now @.@ R&R!

"Uhnnn…" Sarah sat up and looked around. "Where am I now?" She wondered. A soft dirt floor rolled gently beneath her, with scattered rocks here and there. Other than that there was not much to see, for they were in a low-roofed cave. Cave…? She reached out a hand and touched the rock wall. Why would Jareth want to recuperate in some cave? It's kinda odd…what if he needs medical attention? How could we get him some if we're out in the middle of nowhere?! As these thoughts spun through her head, she lowered her hand from the wall and looked around for Jareth.
The Goblin King lay sprawled in the dust, chest rising and falling in the slow rhythm of sleep. Cuts still seeped all over his body, but the smaller ones were starting to heal. Sarah watched as a drop of blood dribbled down his arm. She reached forward to wipe it away. But before it reached her hand, the drop disappeared. "What the heck?"
Jareth's eye twitched. Sarah clamped a hand over her mouth. Stupid stupid stupid stupid! Please don't wake up… But he just turned over and drew his cloak around him. The girl let her breath out slowly. "Thank God…" she whispered. Leaning over, she drew the cloak closer around Jareth. He twitched again, then shivered. Sarah hesitantly drew his head up onto her lap and started mopping away some of the crimson blood.
"Jareth…I wish I could help you…but I could barely save my little brother, what for all your help." She let her forehead drop down onto his, willing the tears of helplessness away. "It's all my fault that you're in this state. If I had just stayed in the Labyrinth with you and just let you take that stupid little brother of mine, none of this would have happened! Why didn't I see how much…" A pause. Her finger traced the faint black lines that swept up from his eyes. "how much you cared for me?" When Jareth didn't stir, she continued. "It's all my fault that Lindsay and Bryan were taken. I told them about the Labyrinth…I dragged them into this. I'm the reason Bryan went berserk and almost killed you." She fell silent, watching the steady rise and fall of his chest. Then, hesitantly, she leaned down and kissed his forehead. "Thank you…"
"For what?"
Sarah jumped. Jareth's azure eyes stared up at her, worried and tired. His fists clenched as he tried to still his shivering, determined to hide any sign of weakness. "What do you have to thank me for?"
"Everything," she answered immediately. "You were right when you said that you turned the world upside down for me." She laughed mirthlessly. "God knows my world is definitely on end…"
Jareth was quiet for a moment. "Sarah," he said after a time. "Lay down here where I can look you in the eye. I haven't enough strength to come to you."
Sarah looked at him out of the corner of her eye, then sighed and laid down. He immediately cuddled against her body, trying to harness some of her warmth. After he was comfortable, he looked into her eyes, the cool blue washing over her brown. "It is true that I turned the world for you. Do you think I did that just for the fun of it?" Ignoring her violent head shake, he went right on. "I did it to make you happy, Sarah Williams. Don't you ever forget that." He leaned forward and kissed her, his lips sliding over hers with a sweet passion. Sarah's eyes went wide, and she jerked back.
Jareth eyed her curiously. "I did not mean to be too bold."
"N-n-no it's not that," she stammered. "it's j-j-just that I've never…" I'm such an idiot! She thought bitterly. My first REAL kiss, and I pull away. He probably thinks I'm so stupid…
With a smile, he touched a finger to her lips. "There's a first for everything, Sarah. A first real kiss for you, and a first real love for me. Let it be a new beginning. But I warn you; things will be hard. Are you willing to take the chance to be with me?"
Sarah looked back at him in silence. Finally, she said, "Yes. I am."
Then Jareth pulled her tightly against him and she was lost in a world of bliss. [A/N: No this is nothing icky…just an exaggeration ^.~;;]
