A/N: I would like to thank my reviewer, Lady Galriee, Thank you! Here is the new update.

Disclaimer: I do not own Labyrinth

Sarah awoke with a start and she felt like she had run a mile. Her breathing was hard and she felt clammy. She didn't remember making the wish…only the dream. She closed her eyes and relaxed, telling herself it was only a dream. She looked at the clock and realized it was midnight. She groaned and got up knowing she would sleep no more tonight. She wandered into the kitchen and found Mrs. Mulberry sitting at the table.

She was different though, she looked younger and was wearing a Greek styled purple dress that showed off her bright red hair. And she was just sitting there at Sarah's kitchen table smiling slightly at her. Sarah noticed that she was glowing and looked a little unearthly. "Mrs. Mulberry?" Sarah asked confusedly. Mrs. Mulberry nodded and got up. She guided Sarah to sit down and somehow a cup of tea appeared in her hand. "Here dear," she said kindly. Sarah, still confused, sat down and sipped the tea shaking her head slightly. "Who are you?" Sarah asked. She had a feeling that Mrs. Mulberry might not actually be Mrs. Mulberry. 'Mrs. Mulberry' smiled and answered, "I am your guardian…I am a fae, my name is Rosaline."

Sarah stared into her tea in disbelief, not quite sure of what to say. "My…my guardian?" she asked quietly. Rosaline nodded and smiled, "Yes, I have been watching you for the last," "Four years?" Sarah interrupted. Rosaline smiled again and nodded. "My, you are perceptive dear." Sarah stared back into her tea.

"Now my dear, I believe you made a wish…" Rosaline said. Sarah immediately looked up and shook her head and protested, "No, I wouldn't have done that…I've learned my lesson from the last wish I made." Rosaline smiled in a pitying way and said, "My dear, your heart made the wish, in your dream, do you not remember?" Sarah tried but she didn't remember ever making a wish. She shook her head and Rosaline patted her hand and nodded understandingly.

"Well you did, and I have no choice but to grant it Sarah dear." Sarah look up at her and gave her a questioning gaze. "You wished to see him again," Rosaline said. Sarah's brow furrowed and Rosaline's smile looked somewhat sad. Rosaline stood up and took Sarah's hand and led her to the window. She waved her hand and the window opened Sarah blinked as a golden light filtered in. She closed her eyes against the bright light, when she got used it, she opened her eyes and saw it.

"The…Labyrinth…" stuttered Sarah. Rosaline nodded and pushed her forward a little. "This isn't exactly what you wished for but I figure you need time to figure it out," Rosaline said her gaze never leaving Sarah. Sarah, as if driven by some invisible force walked towards it leaving Rosaline's side. She never looked back but she knew that Rosaline wouldn't be there so she kept on a head looking for the door.

When she found it, she remembered the doorknockers and smiled. She knocked three times and the door creaked open. She walked in and looked around, it looked the same…but she knew it would be different. She heard the door slam behind her and she jumped…she had always hated that noise.

As Sarah walked she thought about what wish Rosaline was talking about. She thought about how Rosaline mentioned a him. Sarah thought back over her day and remembered the cake. She stopped and gasped what if she had meant…him! Sarah hoped not but then she thought, 'Rosaline said that my heart made the wish…' she shook her head and kept walking. She found an opening in the wall and walked through.

Sarah found Rosaline on the other side with hands on her hips. "Sarah…" she said warningly. Sarah looked up and jumped. "I brought you to think, and thus far I have noticed you have no progress," said Rosaline. Sarah gave her a helpless look. "Okay…I think I know why now…but…I" Rosaline held up her hand to stop her. "Dear, look into your heart of hearts and think, forget about what should be and what you think should be and just look into your feelings. Maybe think about his offer…" Rosaline told her. Sarah looked at her and nodded. Rosaline smiled and faded away leaving a breeze that smelled faintly of lavender.

Sarah sighed and kept walking. She decided that it was the Goblin King that the wish was about. 'Okay,' Sarah thought to herself, 'his offer.' She thought back to the night that won Toby back, to when he mad his offer. She decided to pick it apart. 'Fear me: no problem there. He is intimidating enough without asking. Love me: and we'll get back to that…. Do as I say: Never, I am my own person. And I will be your slave: I never wanted you to be. So now…' Sarah paused. She looked up and to the castle.

Meanwhile

The Goblin King sat on his throne currently debating on whether or not to find Sarah again. It had been some time since he had looked in on her but some reason she had invaded his thoughts. She had danced right in and began twirling around his already cluttered mind, shattering the existing thoughts with the mere smile on her face. He stood up in a huff and the room fell silent. All of the goblins were silent as they watched their king fearfully. But all he did was leave the room and go up to his private floor. He went into the library and sat on one of the windowsills and stared outside. He sighed and looked out over the Labyrinth and the courtyard.

Sounds from the Goblin city could be heard as well as numerous creatures in the Labyrinth itself. Calls of bird-like creatures and angry roars from the beasts within the forest. The Goblin King conjured up a crystal and considered looking for her; he stared at the empty crystal contemplating. He made a face and threw the crystal out the window where it turned into a fragile bubble and floated away. He tried to rid himself of the thought of her. It wasn't working but nonetheless he tried. He got up and took one last look at the setting sun and walked away.

He took dinner alone that night, not that it was much different from other nights. He ate slowly and found himself wishing that she were here. He pushed himself away from the table and went to his study. He slumped, very unroyally, into a chair and stared into the fire. The flames had a hypnotic effect and he slowly fell asleep. Dreams weaved in and out but one stayed.

Elsewhere

Sarah was making her way through endless passageways and turns but wasn't getting frustrated…just tired. She found a spot against a wall and sat down. She exhaled slowly and let her feet rest. She looked up towards the castle and noticed that something was coming closer to her. It was floating on the wind and was on a direct path towards her. She watched it and realized it was a bubble. She titled her head and regarded it. Her brow furrowed as it stopped in front of her.

Inside was the ballroom scene from six years ago. She gasped as she saw herself and no longer realized that she wasn't awake. She had fallen asleep and found herself watching couples dancing all over the floor. It was the same masquerade from before…but it felt different. Her mind was clear and it wasn't as though she had forgotten something. She slowly made her way down the marble steps and reached the dance floor. Her eyes were wide with wonder as she looked around. Most of the dancers ignored her, as if she wasn't really there. A few acknowledge her with a small nod before sweeping off somewhere else.

She made her way through the throng of dancers to the other side. Her hazel eyes suddenly met a pair of mismatched eyes across the floor. One hazel and one brown. She gasped as the eyes found hers and held them. So many emotions filtered through her and she could finally see the emotion in his eyes. She walked towards him in a trance-like state. Her gaze never left his as she crossed the floor.

They met in the middle and stopped. For a while, they let thee music wash over them but then they both bowed to each other. He took her hand in his and laid a light hand on her waist. She placed her hand on his shoulder and they started to dance. They held each other's stare as they danced; it was like the rest of the room just fell away. The chords of a soft, almost mournful, music floated around them creating the dream. No words were spoken, for now it was perfect. No amount of words at this point could be used to describe what was happening.

They knew it wouldn't last forever but somehow…they had found each other. Across the dream world they had found each other again, and here they were, in each other's arms. But as it was known, they could not stay. Sooner or later, they would wake up, and the dream would end. The time was approaching; the glistening ballroom was beginning to shine with filtered rays of sunlight. They held each other's gaze for a desperate moment before letting go and both having to wake up.

Sarah woke up in a start and her breathing was ragged. Up in the castle, the Goblin King woke up in very much the same way. They both tried to come to grips with what just happened. Now they both knew that destiny would not leave them alone. They both denied the fact that they were meant to be, out of pride maybe. But deeper down it was because of fear of rejection and fear of being left alone again.
