Chapter 7
"Does this belong to any of you?" Sara held up the silver key, still hanging around here neck. "I found it in my room and figured one of you dropped it."
Her father looked up at her from around the dinner table at the key and shrugged. "Can't say I remember that particular key from anywhere. How about you?" He looked over at Sarah's step-mother and she shrugged.
"Nope. Never seen it before."
"Oh." Sarah looked at the key a bit disappointed and dropped it. "Oh well. It makes a fun charm." She smiled and took another mouthful of her chicken before getting up to leave. "I'm gunna get back to my work. Kay?"
Sarah picked up her plate and table settings, put them into the dishwasher and shuffled up the stairs to her room. She clicked on the radio and twirled into her chair, singing along with the song that popped on. The green sheet about the contest was on the desk next to her. Sarah signed. If it had been up to her, she wouldn't have entered simply because she wouldn't have the time, and what was the point of spending all of that time if you probably weren't going to be chosen anyway. It wasn't up to her though, Sami had made sure of that and the only thing left for Sarah to do would be to read through the rules and write something up for it.

Hoggle wondered the labyrinth thinking. Thinking about Sarah, thinking about Jareth, thinking about Sarah AND Jareth. But mostly, he was thinking about how worried he was that his friend wouldn't be alright after all. The decision was up to her, and his opinion probably didn't matter much in the situation, but he still worried.
'In fact," he reasoned out in his head, 'the only thing I CAN do is go visit Sarah and ask if she had reached any sort of conclusion yet.' Hoggle nodded proudly to himself and vanished from the labyrinth, appearing in Sarah's room. She was leaning back in her chair reading a greenish paper and tapping a pencil on her desk unhappily. "Sarah?"
Sarah almost jumped out her chair when Hoggle spoke up. "Oh jeez Hoggle, you almost gave me a heart attach." She smiled at him "What's up?"
"Nothing." Maybe it would be a better idea to not bring up Jareth right away, "What were you reading?"
"Oh. Just some silly rules for a contest my friend signed me up for. I need to write something but I just can't think of what. Inspire me."
Hoggle blinked at her as if to say 'I don't have a blood CLUE what you should write about. I'm the most unimaginative person in the world.'
"Never mind." Sarah made a paper airplane out of the rules and threw it across the room. It soared gracefully and landed on her bed. "What's on your mind? Something bothering you Hoggle?"
He shrugged "Not really. Just wanted to know If you 'ad made up your mind about Jareth or not yet."
Sarah didn't answer for a few moments and then shook her head. "No. Not yet. Hey, do you know where this came from or who's it is?" She held up the key, trying desperately to change the subject to something other then the Goblin King.
"Nope. Never seen it before."
"Okay." So far, the search for the owner of the mysterious key wasn't going very well at all. "Guess I'll keep it then, if it doesn't BELONG to anyone."
Hoggle nodded, "Well, I should leave you to finish your work."
"Kay. Bye" Sarah waved.
"See you later." And he was gone.

Woo Chapter seven is complete! Go me. Midterms are officially over, as of yesterday so I'll actually be updating this thing a bit more often. Yay! I don't really have the time to type up another amusing story about my friends and the silly things they've done concerning the movie (Labyrinth) so I'll end this note from me short. ~MF 1.28.04
