Testing Hearts

Disclaimer: No, I don't own the Labyrinth. Happy?

I stared hard at the Goblin King. I was going to kill him, as soon as I got free I was going to kill him! I clutched my hands tightly, then forcefully relaxed myself, hearing my wings flutter slightly behind me. I smiled at the fey I was talking to. "Yes, politics always have been confusing. I really hope you don't get too mixed up in all this, they might hurt you."

The fey gave a small smile. "Yes, well, I am certain that I can do enough to fight back if they try, believe me."

I looked at him this time. He was familiar, oddly so. "Don't you mean believe in you Monsieur Kinetat?" I said drily. Oh great, I'd been talking to my old friend without realizing it! Sure he was an "imaginary" friend and I had been in kindergarden when he left... But, still!

Kinetat ran a hand through his short blonde hair with a shrug. "I guess, that too. Madame Leslie."

I shook my head. "I can't believe I called you the Party Boss."

He raised his glass to his lips. "I can't believe you knew what a party was, as well as knowing what a boss was." He drank deeply from his glass, as was his way, and smirked at the exasperation I felt, and showed.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "I think I'll go reacquaint myself with Katherina."

He held out an arm. "May I escort you milady?"

I raised an eyebrow. "I'm going over there to get away from you. So you shall stay over here." I said flatly.

He took my hand anyway. "I'll take that as a yes."

I rolled my eyes as I was dragged over to a tall brunette, scooping up my skirts to try and keep from tripping on them. "Now I remember why I chose to forget you."

Shellee felt like sitting down somewhere comfortable and crying. Just wailing till the day was done.

First, she was nearly late to babysit her neice and nephews. Second, her bitchy neice decided she didn't like washing dishes and so she wished away her brother and cousins! Third, They were stuck in a fantasy world with a limited amount of time to find her neice and nephews, as well as her more-equiped-to-deal-with-fantasy-since-her-head-is-permenantly-stuck-in-the-clouds-COUSIN! Her life was quickly going down the drain and she owed it all to an onna named Sarah and a Waipahu Bitch named Theresa!

That was the moment the ground dropped out beneath her and she became acquainted with a dark pit called an oubliette.

"WHAT IN BORAYNE'S NAME IS THAT?"
