Disclaimer: I don't own the Labyrinth or any of the characters in it. We all know who it really belongs to. But I do own this particular story.

Authors Note: I've never written a Labyrinth fanfic before, even though it's my favorite movie. So, if you like this story, please review! It will give me motivation to keep writing. But if only a couple of people like the story, I probably won't continue. Review and make my heart happy.

Jareth twirled her around the ballroom, looking deeply into her eyes as he did. As much as it looked like he was trying to trick her, to make her forget about Toby and her mission, he wasn't. All he was doing was making his dreams a reality, or at least as real as they could be in the Labyrinth. And he hoped that maybe he was making a small part of Sarah's dreams reality, too.

He had written a song for her, and only for her. Although the others in the room danced, they heard none of the words, only the melody. Looking into her eyes, relishing every moment, he sang the words to her. She was surprised, he noticed, but he didn't know what had caused that reaction. Was it the ballroom? The fact that this was the only thing she had any memories of? Or was it because he was showing her so much attention, attention that she wasn't used to?

Sarah broke away from him and began to run towards a wall. She picked up a chair and was about to smash the whole dream, but when she tried to lower the chair, she couldn't. Turning around, she could she that Jareth was holding onto the chair.

"Now, Sarah," he started, "is there any reason to burst my bubble?"

"I need to find Toby!" she yelled. Somehow his spell had worn off. She was too strong.

But he knew that she had her weakness. Aboveground, the only attention she received was from her father. But when he married Karen and she had Toby, even his attention became rare. Jareth knew that he could use that against her. It wasn't quite using itagainst her, though. He knew he could give her the life she deserved. And he knew that if she lost, she would be angry and upset, but she would grow into her new life over time.

"Your thirteen hours are up." Jareth stated, pointing towards the clock that hung in the ballroom.

Sarah eyes glanced at it. He was right. Her time was up. "But.. I.. Toby. There was time!"

"There was. But not anymore. I know you do not wish to stay with me, but you knew what would happen if you did not figure out the Labyrinth."

Her eyes had been closed; she didn't want him seeing her pain. When she finally had the courage to open her eyes, she noticed she was in her room. She ran to the door and opened it, but was taken aback as she did. She wasn't in her house. She was in a castle. The castle beyond the Goblin City!

She turned away from the door, back into her room. It had all changed. Now it looked just like a room in a castle should. Cold stone walls, a large four-post bed covered with satin sheets, and a fireplace on the far side of the room. And Jareth was standing in the middle of it all.

"What's going to happen to Toby?" she asked as her thoughts turned back to her little brother.

"I will give him back to your parents, of course." Her mouth opened to say something, but he interrupted her. "Yes, I know I said I would turn him into a goblin. But, I have since changed my mind."

She was relieved that her brother would be alright, but "Why?" she asked.

"I now have you, Sarah. And that is all I wanted to begin with."

Sarah walked over to the bed and sat down. All he had wanted was her? This whole thing had been a scheme to win her, to capture her. But why did he want her? Did he want her so he could rule over her, and she be his slave? Or was it her heart he wished to capture? She had so many questions running through her mind and it had become overwhelming.

"What do you mean, you wanted me?" she prodded. She had to find answers to calm her mind. "If you wanted me, why did you do such terrible things to me?"

He sighed. "Sarah, Sarah. You say the things I did to you were terrible, but were they really? When you think about it, I did everything you asked of me."

Thinking back to all of the happening through-out the Labyrinth, she realized he was right. Even little things, like the rocks she wished for to throw at the monsters hurting Ludo, he had given her. Then she thought back to the story she had told little Toby before wishing him away. She had said in her story that the Goblin King had fallen in love with the girl. Had she been right?

"I suppose you're right." she said, looking down at her feet. She was defeated and she knew it.

Jareth gave himself a little smile. "This is the room you shall be staying in. It is early here in the Underground. Two o'clock, as a matter of fact. And you've had no lunch. Except for that peach--"

"The peach!" she yelled. "You tried to make me forget everything! And you did! Oh, you're horrible. Absolutely horrible. Why would you do that?"

She realized why he would do that. To win.

He realized why he had done that. He loved her.

But neither of them knew what the other was thinking.

"And that song. It was beautiful, I'll admit that. But the words.. Did you mean them?" she said, finally rising from the bed and walking towards him.

"Every word."

He had honestly meant every word he sung to her. She was the one for him, the one he had been drawn to since she began obsessing over the red book with the golden letters. When Sarahbegan to thinkthe book was true and that there really was an Underground, he had found his chance to win her over.

Sarah was shocked at his answer. She hadn't expected him to admit to meaning those words, whether he had or not.

"I need to rest. Let me have some time to myself." she stated in a demanding tone.

And, poof, he was gone.
