That night Sarah sat on her bed looking happier than she had looked all week. Even the knock on her bedroom door didn't startle her. She sighed thinking it was probably Karen, worrying about her again. She walked over to the door an opened it. She couldn't help but smile when she saw her father grinning at her.

"Dad!" she gasped.

"Hi honey" he said as he gave her a hug.

After getting reacquainted he walked into Sarah's room and sat on her bed.

"I'm sorry I was away for your mother's funeral" he said. "I know it was a very difficult time for you. Karen told me that you haven't been acting yourself lately."

"No it's fine dad. I admit that it was hard at first but I know now that she did love me, and wouldn't want me to mourn for her."

Her father kissed her on the forehead. He had never shown her so much affection before.

"I'm proud of you" he said.

She thanked him with a warm smile.

"Well, it's late. I'll leave you to get some sleep…goodnight" he said as he walked out of the room and shut the door.

As soon as he went Sarah flopped face down on to her bed, thinking about the chaos of the past week. So much had happened to her and her family were completely oblivious.

"You didn't think you'd get away without saying a proper goodbye again did you?" said Jareth from behind.

Sarah laughed and looked up.

"Jareth, it's really late and I'm tired" she said.

"Sarah!" he said in a playfully strict tone. "I haven't come to deprive you of your sleep, what kind of villain do you think I am…I just came to drop off this" he said as he pulled out Lancelot from under his black cloak.

Sarah frowned at the bear. She took it off him and walked over to her closet. She shoved the bear at the back of it. Jareth looked at her confusedly.

"I don't need it anymore" she said. "I don't need to mourn anymore. My mother belongs in the past. It's time to start thinking about the present."

She smiled at him, but he noticed that Sarah was still troubled by something. Her face showed signs of sadness.

"What's wrong" he said.

"It just feels like it's all over now. I mean I hated the threats but still, it was kind of a fun adventure. In a way I kind of liked being around magic again, even if I was cursed."

"Why Sarah, it's not the end" Jareth smiled. She looked up at him "The fun's only just started!" he said grinning almost wickedly at her.

The End…

Hope the ending didn't disappoint you too much. I never really plan the endings of my stories properly. I'll let you into a secret - Quince being the leader of the threats was a last minute idea!! And Ludo…he always seems to die in my stories doesn't he. Maybe that should be my trademark. Anyway, for those of you who still like me, I won't keep away for long as I have already started a new story and I know - I've still got Diary Secrets (even though I'm not sure where I'm going with that). As I said on the last chapter, you should check out my Labyrinth website. I'm on there from time to time, and there is other cool Labyrinth-related stuff to see and do.

Oh and I never said this at the beginning so: I do not own any characters from the movie Labyrinth. The Labyrinth characters and events in the movies belong to the very talented Jim Henson...

…But I do own the man at the funeral, Lysander, Wanda the goblin-witch, extras in the background, Kathy, Mary, Susan, Angela, man at party, maybe Sarah's mother, paramedics and doctor, and most of the scenery and objects. Did I forget anyone...
