I own nothing rights to Labyrinth and its' characters goes to Jim Henson

ENJOY! Comments are always welcome.

It was five years after the ordeal in the Labyrinth. Sarah never forgot, even though she wished she did. Sarah did not keep contact with her friends. School and family matters got to her. Her grades in high school were average. Sarah could have easily got honor-roll but did not feel motivated. She was now a freshman in a community college. It was much like high school, she would come straight home and take care of Toby. The only major change was that she worked on the weekends at a local bakery "Sweet Cakes".

It was a cool Saturday in October. Sarah was walking home from her morning shift at the bakery. Once she opened the door there was Karen.
"Oh good Sarah your home" She was holding five-year-old Toby.

"Hi Karen."

"Sarah I have told you a thousand times to call me mom''

"We both very well know that is not going to happen." Karen rolled her eyes in annoyance and handed Toby to her.

"Me and you're father are going out for the day."

"Shocking"

"Sarah! Watch your tone."

"Well you never ask if I am busy. What if I was to go out after work?" Karen sighed.

"Please Sarah can we please just have one conversation without fighting."

"Fine. Have fun" Sarah walked straight upstairs with Toby.

She brought Toby to his room and sat him on the ground. She got out some of Toby's toys.

"Sarah!" Her dad called from downstairs.

"Now what do they want?"She whispered to herself. She left Toby to his toys and headed down the stairs.

"What now?"

"Sarah you are acting much like a child today. What is wrong" Sarah uncrossed her arms in annoyance

"I'm just tired. I have been working since 6am. Also as soon as I get home you two leave. Not even a hello. *sigh* You know what forget it! Go!" She ran upstairs.

"Dear do you think we are being unfair?"

"No sweetie. It's just teenage hormones. She will be fine. Now come on we will be late." Karen pulled him out of the house.

As soon as Sarah was back in the room she could hear the car moving out of the drive way.

"Toby it looks like it is me and you.. Again.."

"Sarah and birdie."

"Huh? Birdie?" Sarah looked out the window. Nothing was there.

"Toby there is nothing there."

"Birdie, night, night" Sarah's heart started racing.

"Sawaa hungiee hungiee" Sarah was looking at the window but turned her head.

"Probably just a crow."She thought.

"Ok buddy, food. Can I take a shower first?" Toby giggled.

"I'll take that as a yes. Now behave and play with your toys. I'll be back in a flash.

Sarah walked into her room and started to strip. She wrapped a towel around herself and headed to the bathroom. She took a semi long shower. When she got out the bathroom was filled with steam. She opened her door to let the steam out. She faced the mirror she took her hand and brushed of the cloud that formed on her mirror.

"Hello Sarah!" There was Jareth with his arms crossed and the unforgettable smirk.

Sarah screamed and spun around but nothing was there. Then in the distance there was Toby crying.
"I'm coming Toby!" Still wrapped in the towel she sprinted down the hall. She gathered Toby into her arms.

"Shhhh It's ok."

"Gobbley gobbley" Toby screamed. "Gobbley? Gobbley..?… GOBLIN!"Sarah thought. She quickly spun around the room looking for anything. Nothing there.

"Its ok Toby. Probably nothing." Toby tried settling down.

"Hey how about you come into my room and play with Lancelot. Then we can get ice cream. How does that sound?" Toby stopped crying.

"Ice ceeemm."

"That's my boy." Sarah quickly got dressed. She was shaking like a leaf. Toby sat on her bed contently. That made her feel a little better.

"Ok kiddo. Ice cream time!" Toby jumped into her arms.

Later once they got back it was around seven at night. They walked to the ice cream stand and spent the whole day in the park. Sarah did not want to be at her house. Sarah was caring Toby who was all tuckered out. Still no Karen or Bill. Sarah walked into the living room and placed Toby on the couch. She did not want to be downstairs by herself. She put a blanket over him. She turned on the TV and started flipping through.

"Sarah?" Sarah heard the voice behind her. She slowly turned her head.
