Disclaimer: I own nothing dealing with Labyrinth and all that. You know how it goes.
A/N: Well, here is the next chapter to my fan fiction. I hope you like it!
That night, Sarah sat in the middle of her kitchen, drinking a cup of hot tea with honey. This had been a way of calming down for her for as long as she could remember. But this night, it didn't seem to have much of an affect on her. Her eyes were constantly being drawn to the small crystal orb that lay right in front of her, on the counter. Setting her cup down, she picked the crystal up and looked into it.
Why did it bother her so, anyway? She was over him, right? So her decision should be easy to make. She would simply have to refuse Jareth tomorrow to even be his friend, no matter how bad she felt for doing so.
Setting down the orb, she rested her head in her hands and began to massage it. This was causing her head to pound relentlessly. When she brought her head up, she saw that the orb was now glowing light pink. This caused her to jump a bit and look around. What did this mean? She looked into it and saw that the whole Labyrinth was placed inside of it.
She shook her head and, standing up, walked over to the trash can and dropped the crystal ball in the trash. She rationalized that she must be crazy for even considering keeping it. She was getting married soon and could no longer indulge in useless, childish dreams that would only further complications. She had to forget and get on with her life. And if Jareth did decided to pay another unexpected visit the following day, she would simply further impress upon him that she no longer wished to associate herself with such a ridiculous fantasy, such as himself.
She then proceeded to walk up her stairs, sighing tiredly and rubbed her eyes. This had been an extremely long day and she knew that tomorrow would possibly be even worse. So, for tonight, she would simply take a long, hot bath and then go to bed.
Jareth felt a shock as a large crack appeared in the middle of his throne room.
"What the bloody hell is going on?" he grumbled, trying to keep his balance. The shaking continued to move the entire Underground. For nearly two minutes, it went on relentlessly, never once giving the occupants of this world rest. Then, it finally stopped.
"Why did it shake?" he asked the wise man that was in his throne room. "I did not ask her to marry me yet! I merely gave her a crystal so that she may see my world."
"Well, you're an idiot, then," piped up the mans bird hat. Jareth glared at it.
"Enough!" called the wise man, looking up at his hat. "You done?" There was silence.
"Yes," said the bird.
"It seems," groaned the old man, trying to ignore the bird, "that any defiance against the Underground will result in an immediate effect, even if it does not have as much of an affect as her refusal to be your queen."
"But how has she defied me?" asked Jareth.
"She has thrown away the crystal you gave her," replied the man.
"Oh is that so?" asked Jareth. He rubbed his chin and began to pace his throne room. "This is definitely not good at all. Something has got to be done. I can't wait around forever waiting for Hoggle and his lackeys to help me. I'll have to take things into my own hands."
"As you wish," smiled the old man.
"Yes, I shall do things my own way," said Jareth. He looked up. "And I know just how I'm going to do it."
Sarah climbed out of her car the next morning once she had reached her office. She climbed up the two steps that lead to the door and unlocked it. Then, she turned on the lights and did all of her usual morning things and didn't stop until the coffee had been made and she had her agenda in front of her. She sighed heavily and took a long sip of her coffee. But before she could totally get her day started, there was a knock on her door. Standing up, she walked over to her door and opened it. A small gasp escaped from her lips when she saw the Underground spread out before her.
"Welcome back, Sarah," said Jareth, stepping in front of her and pulling her out. The office door behind her closed shut.
"No," growled Sarah, turning back and running to her door. She opened it up to find only the Underground on the other side and not her office in England.
A/N2: Well, there it is. I hope you liked that chapter. I really like how I ended it. Later much, peoples. I'll talk to you later and hopefully will update again soon. Catch you all later.
