First of all, let me say if you're still with me in this, I love you. So
much. So just keep on with me and one of these days when I'm not busy
(which is why I haven't updated in so long because unfortunately I don't
have the luxury of sitting in front of a computer all day) we will finish
this. I promise.

ON WITH THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!
Jareth awoke slowly, relishing each second that he lay undisturbed. Finally, his eyes opened only to be shut immediately; the sun was far too bright for his liking. He opened them again, tentatively this time, and finally he got used to the light. He sensed someone's presence behind him and quickly stood up and turned around. There lay his Sarah . . . .
No! This had to be a dream. He pinched himself hard. Oh yes, it was real. What he didn't understand is how she got here, but did that really matter? No, he decided, what mattered was that she was here. He would not let her get away again. She had destroyed a great deal of his pride last time. That would not happen again. At least, not if he could help it. No matter what he had to do, he would win this time . . . . and that was a promise.
He kneeled down and gently pushed her hair from her face. She had matured into a beautiful young woman. There was one down side to maturing, though. She had forgotten her dreams, forgotten the Labyrinth, forgotten him . . . . Now she was an accountant with a boyfriend named Ted. He scowled at the thought. She had the typical mundane life of a mortal. Yet she had been difference once and perhaps he could bring that out in her again.

Sarah was in the Labyrinth. How did she get here? Oh yes, she had wished Toby away to the goblins not believing it would happen. She could be such a drama queen sometimes. Suddenly she was very tired. Was there a bench around here somewhere? Screw it, she thought. This Labyrinth was taking a lot of the strength out of her and she just couldn't go on.
"Jareth! I need to speak with you! NOW!!"
"My my you're impatient." Jareth said with a smirk as he appeared behind her.
"God you scared me! Stop doing that or you're paying for my hospital bill when I get a heart attack." Sarah said.
"Well what did you need to speak with me about?"
"This Labyrinth. It's just too much. I mean come on how could anyone solve this thing?"
"Oh Sarah I did have so much faith in you. It's such a pity that you couldn't live up to my expectations for once."
"Well could Toby go back in my place? I don't want him to grow up here and never know his parents." Sarah said with a slight quaver in her voice. How could she have ever wished Toby away?
"Sarah, you now this goes against all the rules. . . ."
"I don't care."
"Done." He said as he leaned in dangerously close.
"SARAH! Wake up Miss Sarah!"
Her eyes fluttered open wanting to see who dared to interrupt her slumber. Above her stood a familiar face . . . . . What was her name again? Oh yes, Katrina. Slowly everything that happened came back to her.
"Oh God." She softly moaned under her breath.
"Sarah, His Majesty left with the doctor. He'll be back shortly . . . In the meantime I suggest you get cleaned up. Come, I'll show you to the guest room."
"Thank you Katrina. How long was I out?"
"Oh, for about two hours. Hoggle came back about thirty minutes after I left you with His Majesty. He said that he was leaning over you, like he was scared someone would come and take you away from him."
Sarah tried to control her anger, but who did he think he was?
"That arrogant Goblin King! He probably thinks that just because I'm here now that he can keep me here forever!"
"Now, Miss Sarah, keep your voice down."
"It's just he makes me so mad! Just show me to the guest room Katrina."
"Right this way, Miss Sarah." Katrina sighed.
The long walk down the many corridors of the castle (it was like a Labyrinth in itself) was filled with an awkward silence. Sarah laughed to herself-she had never been quiet for five minutes at a time in her life! She couldn't help but think about what Katrina said Hoggle saw. Well, he could've been wrong, she reasoned. If only Jareth wasn't so goddamn gorgeous . . . . Wait a minute, Sarah thought, don't get too far ahead of yourself; he could be ugly now for all you know. Like that would ever happen. He'll always be that exotic kind of gorgeous. She stifled a laugh as she envisioned an "ugly-duckling" version of Jareth.
"Ah, here we are Miss Sarah." Katrina said as they came up to an extremely ornate pair of white doors. Sarah gasped as she opened the doors. It was as if the room had been designed for her! The bed was absolutely huge with a canopy. The bedspread was dark blue with stars of gold on it. All of the furniture was dark cherry wood with designs of fairies, unicorns, and other mythical creatures carved into it.
"Thank you Katrina. It's absolutely gorgeous!"
"It is, isn't it? This has always been my favorite room in the castle. Well, I'll leave you be for now."
"Ok. Bye Katrina!" Sarah said as she fell on to the bed. "Oh God, how am I ever going to be able to sleep on my bed again?"
All of a sudden there was a forceful knock on the door followed by: "SARAH! OPEN UP! WE NEED TO TALK!"
