Sarah's POV

Sarah listened to Lilly's story with awe. She, unlike Jareth, could easily take the 'like, you knows' out of the sentences, and fill in any missing words, for a while.

"I didn't even mean it, you know? He was just, like, you know, pulling a trick on me, for like the fifth time, and I was like, 'OMG, Toby you are so awful! You just can't, like, you know, do stuff like that! I read this, like, book, Toby, and this, like, beautiful girl wished away this, like, baby that she had to watch, and, like, you know, the goblins took him away to be one of , like, them for, like, ever.' and he laughed at me, so I said, 'I wish the goblins would come and take you away right now."

Sarah nodded. "Oh."

"And then there's like this, you know, thunderstorm, and this freak, with a capital 'F' and so-"

"So he said freaky stuff," Sarah sincerely hoped that Jareth was listening, "And sent you here? Or did he give you a choice?"

"He offered me a crystal and some spiel about how I should go home and 'play with my, like, toys'. Can you believe he, like, said that? I don't play with toys!"

"Oh, I know."

"And did you see his hair? And the make-up? Ugh."

"He was actually kind of a freaky cute."

Lilly looked at her closely to see if she was joking. "Uh-huh. I suppose. To each her own, I guess. Me, I prefer the tall handsome, made-up less types."

Sarah sighed. "Well, lets go."

Lilly nodded. "And that, like, whole thirteen hours thing, then like, turning into, you know, an owl?"

Sarah nodded. "So totally. Pretty owl though."

"Yeah, for an owl." Lilly said, following her onto the flat ground. "Ew! Is that thing doing what I think it is?'

Sarah looked away and yelled, "Um, excuse me?"

Hoggle turned around. "Oh. Hmm. Well." he started to spray the fairies again.

Lilly looked at him. "How do we get in? I just wished a kid away, and-"

"I don't know how you get in. I use the door."

"Where is it?"

"Don't know."

Sarah sighed. "What do you mean, you don't know?"

"Where 'it' is."

Lilly fumed. "Where is the door?"

Hoggle blinked. "Well, the door to the labyrinth is right here."

Lilly smiled. "Oh, okay. Thanks."

As she entered, Hoggle leaned over to Sarah. "She has rather wild mood swings doesn't she?"

Sarah smiled down at her first friend from the Labyrinth. "Yeah."

They entered, and Lilly was gone, down one way. Sarah was staring at the many openings she hadn't seen.

"Lilly!" she called. Lilly turned back.

"What?" She said as she came back.

"We could just go forward." Sarah suggested.

Jareth's POV

Jareth stared at the now sleeping Toby. Toby wasn't awake, and he wasn't crying. He had played with the goblins then fallen asleep. This had never happened to him before. He was, for the first time, bored. He sat down on his throne. Then he got up and paced. And he sat down. He contemplated waking Toby up, but decided against it. He didn't want to upset Sarah. And for some reason, the thought of upsetting her, upset him. He wanted to be careful around her. He wanted her to think better of him. Not of course that he cared what she thought.

Much.

Still, upsetting Sarah would be bad.

Not, of course, that she isn't already upset.

Oh, shut up you.

Come on, admit it.

Fine. She's upset.

And alone.

You know that Ludo and Hobgoblin will find her.

But she's not with you.

Wouldn't that make me alone?

Oh, it's all about you all the time.

It is not!

No, no of course not. Which is why you're pouting.

Go away.

Poor Jareth, you have no clue who I am.

A voice in side my head.

Not just any voice, Jareth.

You're right. You're proof the goblins have finally won.

What?

I've gone insane.

Oh, come now, that's not fair.

Isn't it? You keep criticizing me, after all.

Oh, surely you must know who I am?

No, no I don't.

You have to!

You know, I'm going to tune you out right now.

That's not a nice thing to do!

So? It doesn't bother me. I don't have a conscience.

You didn't say that!

No, I thought it.

You do have a conscience!Never had one, still don't, and won't ever. Goodbye.

Jareth smiled as Nat ran in.

"Lady Sarah saw that she could go straight forward! That awful Lilly girl with her."

"Yes Nat." He paused. "You didn't just say, 'That awful Lilly girl', did you?"

"Nat did!"

Jareth pondered that. "Now, where did you pick that up?"

"Nat heard Lady Sarah mutter it! And then Hoggle muttered it!" Jareth merrily laughed.

Thank you to all of the Reviewers. You are bright rays of sunshine for a writer. Of course, more sun would be nice. (Hint Hint!)
