CHAPTER 2
"Mmmm....." Jareth sighed
"What is the matter, m'lord?"
"Something is not quite right..." Jareth looked around.
Finally, he looked down at a cake."There!!!!"
"What, m'lord?" a goblin asked.
"Right there! There is an "H" after Sarah!"
"Sorry, m'lord!"
"Don't be sorry, just get it fixed!!!!"
"Ok, m'lord. I'll bring it to the town's baker to get it
fixed right away!" The goblin hurridley said, grabiing the cake and
running.
Why must I deal with low-life little scabs? Jareth, the all-
mighty goblin king, thought. Everything must be perfect for her
birthday! I can't bring her down here to a surprise party where
there are faults!!!!!!!
Walking to his throne, he thought about Sarah. He had fallen
in love with her when she was first born. And she finally knew that
he existed only 9 months ago. His heart was still broken from the
time when she defeated him.
"You have no power over me."
Those words still rung in his head for hours on end. He was
still heart broken when he had to let her go. If it was his choice,
Sarah would have stayed there. But, alas, it was not meant to be.
Not then, anyway.
Oh, good. Here comes Higgle.
"Mornin', yer majesty." Hoggle cheerfully greeted.
"Good morning to you, too, Hog-wart."
"Oh, its Hoggle!"
"So sorry, old chap. Now, what have we here?" Jareth asked
when he saw a leather pouch in Hoggle's hand.
"Oh. Oh tis! Yeah, it's a present for Miss Sarah. It's a
jeweled necklace I made. Did you want to see it?" Hoggle asked, all
of the sudden very clumsy.
"Sure, Higgle." Jareth said
"Oh, it's Hoggle. Here ya go, m'lord." Hoggle hesitantly
handed the pouch to Jareth
Jareth carefully examined the beautiful, red jeweled brooch
on a pearl necklace chain.
"Huggle..." Jareth started.
"Hoggle!" Hoggle interuppted, but Jareth did not seem to
care.
"It's...beautiful." Jareth said, amazed at the fine hand
work.
"Why, thank you, m'lord." Hoggle said, breaking Jareth's
train of thought.
Jareth, quickly getting back into the swing of things, said:
"Here, Hugglo. You are dismissed."
Hoggle let that version of his name go." Goodbye, yer
majesty. See ya later."
Hoggle waddled out of the door.
Good dwarf. Jareth thought. Now, Sarah, it's your turn.

CHAPTER 3
"Wow, that was a good movie." Sarah said.
"Damn straight!" April said. "But there is still one more
present for you."
April rushed over to her car, a small red station wagon, and
opened the door. All of the sudden, Jareth, King of the Goblins,
pops out.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHO ARE
YOU?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" April screamed. Sarah quick ran to her,
and stopped in mid air.
"YOU!" Sarah screamed.
"Happy Sweet 16 birthday, Sarah. I brought you a gift."
Jareth said, as a crystal ball appeared in his hand.
"What is it?" Sarah asked.
"WHOA!Wait one minute! Who are you, how do you know Sarah,
and can I go home?" April asked, screaming.
"I'm Jareth, an old friend of Sarah's, and, yes, you can go
home." Jareth calmly said.
"Is it okay, Sarah? Can I trust you with him?" April, who
was confused, asked.
"Yeah, yeah!You can go home." Sarah implied.
After the goodbyes, Sarah looked at Jareth. He was still
standing there, in his black leather outfit, still holding the
crystal ball. Sarah remember, quite clearly, that the first time
they met, she was scared. VERY SCARED. Almost frightened. But now,
for some strange reason or another, it kind of felt comforting to
look into those big, mis-matched eyes of his.
"Well?" Sarah asked.
"Well what?" Jareth answered
"What's the gift?" Sarah said back.
"A message from Sir Didymus." Jareth replied.
Is that all? Sarah wondered
"Well... can I see it or not?"Sarah asked.
Jareth, who was admiring her beauty, snapped back to earth.
He tossed the crystal ball to Sarah as she caught it and firmly
grasped it. Inside the crystal, Sarah saw Sir Didymus formally
inviting her to a surprise birthday party for her dear old friend,
Hoggle. Sarah was amazed.
"No way! It's Hoggle's birthday, too?" Sarah asked again.
Jareth said mockingly:
"Yes way!" then he formally continued:
"Would you go? With me?"
Sarah was speechless. She did know that the Goblin King was
smart, handsome and talented, but she did not know he had a small
sense of humor.
"Oh, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........Okay?" Sarah sheepisly
answered.
All of the sudden the crystal ball floated out of her hands
and exploded, with a soft bang, in the air above their heads.

CHAPTER 4
Glitter, stars and ribbons floated around Jareth and Sarah
like a sweeping tornado. Sarah looked around at the colors, colors
she has not even seen before. Then Sarah gazed into Jareth's soft,
blue and brown eyes. Then, without warning, Sarah wrapped her arm
around Jareth's warm body. Jareth, surprised but extremely glad,
immediately returned the favor, and they stared into eachother's
eyes. As they both leaned in a little, all of the sudden they both
heard a bunch of creatures yell:
"SURPRISE!!!!"
Sarah and Jareth quickly seperated, Sarah regretting it at
first, it had been so nice. But then she screamed:
"OH MY GOD!!!!! Is all this for me?" Sarah was really
excited.
"Yes, Sarah. Surprise!" Jareth laughed out.
"Hoggle! Sir Didymus! Ludo! Oh my god, hi!" Sarah screamed
out to her friends.
Jareth decided to stay in the corner of the crowded throne
room. For once in his life, he was actually scared to be in the
crowd. After a couple of hours, everyone went home. Sarah looked
around for Jareth, and found him sitting on the window sill, looking
down at the Labyrinth.
"Hey, stranger, where were you all night?" Sarah asked.
"Here. I just thought you would want to be with your
friends. So, are you ready to go home?" Jareth asked.
"What? Just like that? You would let me?" Sarah said,
surprised.
"Yes. It was not an obligation for you to be here." Jareth
replied.
"Well, it's kind of late. Can I go home in the morning?"
Sarah asked.
"Whatever you want." Jareth said.
Jareth led her up three flights of stairs when they finally
arrived in a big, airy master bedroom. Sarah looked around the room,
and said in awe:
"Whoa. This is my room?"
"Yes, what did you think, I'll put you in the old laundry
room? I'm not that cruel, Sarah." Jareth answered.
"No, no, it's just....really, really, big. Bigger than my
room, Toby's room and the kitchen combined." Sarah commented.
"Well, goodnight Sarah. Pleasant dreams."
Sarah was gazing in his mis-matched eyes again. Without
thinking, she walked over and embraced him. It made her feel whole,
it really suited her. They layed down on the bed, when Sarah quickly
pushed him off the bed, and Jareth fell with a thud on the floor.
"Owww.........." Jareth complained, rubbing his butt.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I just got so..." Sarah atammered out.
But Jareth sushed her with another kiss and left the room.
I'm never going to feel the same way again. Sarah thought.
I'm never going to feel the same way again. Jareth thought.
He walked down the hall to his room and collapsed on his bed. Off
came the boots and shirt. Jareth layed on top of the bed.
The way she walks,
The way she talks,
I will never get her out of my mind.
They both, in different rooms, drawled off to sleep.

CHAPTER 5
A monster howled at dawn. Jareth slowly drew from the bed. He
walked to his closet and picked out his attire for the day. Nothing
could go wrong.
Shit! She wants to go back home today!
All of the sudden, his mood started to get more depressed. He
slowly walked down the hall, where he saw Sarah walking around,
looking for something.
"May I be of some assistance, my lady?" Jareth politely
asked.
Sarah, shocked to see him and in her disgusting condition,
asked:
"Where's the bathroom?"
"Right here." Jareth answered, pointing at a door they were
right in front of.
"Oh, thank you. See you in....10 minutes?" Sarah said.
"I will be in the throne room, awaiting your arrival, fair
maiden." he took Sarah's hand and gently brushed his lips upon it.
Why am I melting? He is just the guy I love!! Sarah
foolishly thought. She looked around the bathroom.
All of the sudden, her toothbrush and hair brush were sitting
on the sink's counter.
Now that is what I called friendly hospitalitey!!!!

~****************************************~
"All right!" Jareth proclaimed.
"What? It's just me!" Sarah said.
She's beautiful, Jareth thought, It's like, when she enters
the room, I change.
I hope he is not mad about last night, Sarah thought, Or I
am gonna cry!!!!!!!
"Your beautiful, Sarah." Jareth finally said, impulsively.
I love his voice!!! I makes me think of every good time I
have ever had!!!!! Sarah thought.
As they walked down the hall, Sarah suddenly stopped.
What? Jareth thought.
Sarah peeked in a room, Jareth's private library, and pulled
him inside. She locked the door, and put her arms around his neck.
Sarah pulled Jareth's head towards her and locked his lips on hers.
Should I go on? Jareth thought. Just then, Sarah started
nipping on his neck. Jareth corosed her on the couch.
There is no God, Sarah thought, there is only what you want.

CHAPTER 6
Two hours passed and Sarah wakes up. She looks around and
finds a dozen red roses and an envelope on the coffee table. She
picked up the roses and they smelt like honeysuckle.
I wonder what honeysuckle smells like... Sarah wondered. She
carefully picked up the envelope and ran her fingers along it. As
she opened the package, the smell of Jareth's cologne wafted up to
her. She read the letter:
My love-
I am terribly sorry, but I have to
go do important
buisness that needs to be attended
to. I will be
back shortly. Then we will talk
about you
going home. Truthfully, I really
don't want you
to go. But it is your choice. See you
in 4 hours.
Love,

Jareth
"Four hours? When did he leave?" Sarah asked curiously.
All of the sudden, gold letters appeared at the bottom of
Jareth's letter.
P.S- I left 3 hours ago, Sarah.
"Oh, how convienent."
Sarah grabbed her pants and slipped them on. Yanking her shirt
over her shoulders, there came a soft knocking on the door.
"Sarah? Are you in there?" a kind voice asked.
"Hoggle!!! Come in!!!!" Sarah greeted.
She bent down to give Hoggle a quick hug.
"How are you?" Sarah asked.
"Never better. I finally reached me goal! 300 fairies! Cor!"
Hoggle explained.
"Wow. I never knew there could be so many fairies!" Sarah
said, amazed.
"Yes, missy, there are! Sarah, would ya like ta take a
walk?" Hoggle shakingly asked.
"Sure Hoggle!!!!!" Sarah answered.
Sarah quicked glanced around the library, looking for her socks
and shoes. They were under Jareth's desk, where Sarah saw another
box. She gazed at the beautiful black velvet box for 5 seconds and
saw a single tag on it. As she read the tag, it was for her! A late
sweet sixteen present from Jareth! She picked up the smooth black
velvet box and sat on the floor. She called to Hoggle, who was still
by the bookcase:
"What's this?" she asked.
Sarah opened the box and saw a small ring with a red jewel on it.
It looked almost like the ring that- that she gave the wiseman and
his silly talking bird hat!
"Oh my god!!!! Hoggle!!! Come and see this!!!!" Sarah
exclaimed.
"I already have." Jareth's voice answered back. He stood
there with a dozen more white roses.
"Oh, hi! You are home early!!!" Sarah, who did not know what
to say, said.
"Do you want to go home?" Jareth asked.
Sarah thought about it for a minute. She answered:
"No, but..."
"Then you want to stay!!!" Jareth said, happily.
"No, but..." Sarah started.
"But? What but? You said you don't want to go, then you do,
now their is a 'but'!" Jareth proclaimed.
"Hey, don't get mad at me! You don't even listen!!! You just
jump into stuff!!!! What if I did not want to come here?" Sarah
argued.
"Ah, you see, but you did!"
"That's only because you tricked me saying it was Hoggle's
Birthday!!!"
"No, I didn't. It was a surprised party for you, my sweet!
If I would have told you the truth, you wouldn't believe me! It was
YOUR fault!!!!"
"Well, maybe you shouldn't have made an advance to me last
night!"
"Ah, you see, you did this morning! I want that back!"
Jareth said, as he grabbed the roses back. "Here you go!" Jareth
screamed.
A crystal ball flew up in the air and bursted around Sarah.
Black glitter, red ribbons, and grey fire spun around her like a
volcano. Then, she was gone.
"Oh no!" Hoggle said.
"What?" Jareth asked, being annoyed.
"She took your ring!"
"Let her keep it. It's no use to me anyway." Jareth spoke,
as he turned around and walked out the door.
Just then, Hoggle glanced down at his wrist. He saw the guady
bracelet that Sarah gave him. But to him it was gold. It was
friendship.
Now he was going to help his friend. But how?
CHAPTER 7
Sarah was in her room. She quick jumped on her bed and sobbed
in her pillows. Sarah never wanted this. No one would want this. Not
even...
"Hello Sarah! Are you home?"
.....April.
"Up here." Sarah said morbily.
"Why are you still in those clothes?" April said admiring
Sarah's neat hair, and her brushed teeth.
"I was out having coffee last night with my friend-"
"Who looked like a medevil king-"
"Who just got off of work-"
"Doing what?" April asked.
"ACTING! Would you stop analyzing me?!"
"Sorry Sarah. Your right...please continue." April
apoligized.
"Anyway, we got talking-" Sarah started.
"About what?" April cutted in.
"Stop! About whats new and everything, and I got in late. I
just went to bed." Sarah finally said, lying through her teeth.
"Something's different about you..." April wondered.
She wanted to know what happened between the tall, blonde hair
man and her best friend. It was the glow in Sarah's face, the
sadness in her eyes, that made April think.
"Where exactly did you go?" April asked seriously.
Sarah, knowing not to argue, shakingly grabbed the Jareth doll
and held it gently. April noticed the amazing similarity between the
doll and the man. She suddenly realized, she heard stories from
Sarah, read the book, and looked at the doll.
"Sarah?" April asked. "He's real, isn't he?"
"Yes." Sarah, who was crying at the time, answered."It's all
real."
"You went with him all night?"
"Yes." Sarah answered.
"Why? No, wait- you love him. He tricked you. You had
thirteen hours and when you reached him, you got to go home.Right?"
"No!" Sarah said defensively.
"Then what?!" April asked. She wanted the truth. The
straight truth.
C'mon Sarah, you can tell me! April thought.
"Then what?!?!" April repeated. "Tell me."
Sarah sighed. "After you left, he told me that there was a
surprise party for my friend, Hoggle. I fell for that trick, and
Jareth and I went Underground, to the castle." Sarah partly
explained.
"And?" April anxiously asked.
"And the party," Sarah started,"was for me. So I stayed and
partied. After the party, it was to late into the night. Jareth
showed me to the guest bedchamber. I slept, woke up, had breakfast,
and came home."
"That was all?" April asked, displeased.
From the way Sarah talked about her adventure in the Labyrinth,
April figured the second trip would be more, how youn say...robust.
But maybe Sarah didn't tell the WHOLE story...
"That is not the whole story!" April proclaimed. "Tell
me!!!!!"
"WHY DO I HAVE TO YOU?!?!" Sarah fired back. "I actually
want a couple of secrets to keep to myself!!!!!!!"
"Well, I know that you know that I'll eventually know what
you know!" April yelled.
"Yeah, but-" Sarah started.
"'But' nothing!! Tell me!!!!" April said, lunging at Sarah.
Sarah, turning away so April wouldn't hurt her, said:
"NO!!!!"
"Tell me!!!!!!"
"NO, I WON'T!!!
"TELL ME, SARAH!!!!!!!"
"Nothing happened!!! Leave me alone!!!!"
Just then, Sarah's father came into the room.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
"She wants to know something about me, and I won't tell her.
Would you please escort her out, Dad?" Sarah asked calmly.
"Ok, Sarah. Come on, April. I'll escort you to your car."
Sarah's father said, holding his arm out to take April away.
It was silent for one minute.
"Come on, Ms. Shasoo." Sarah's father agian said.
April got up off the floor and walked towards the door. As
soon as ashe hit the doorway, she said:
"I wish that the Goblin King would come and take you away."
April finally said "Right now."
Sarah, with her eyes brimmed with tears. watched the one
bestfirend above ground, go away. Had she meant those words?
I wonder if...
Just then, a gold spark came from the window. In a second,
Sarah was gone. April saw this. She quick ran up the deck stairs to
Sarah's window.
He was there. Sitting on the chair in her desk area.
"Where is she?" April Asked, crying.
"Underground. Do you want to look for her?"Jareth asked
"Yes, please. I have to find her!"
"She 's there." He points at his castle." In my castle."
" Take me to her!" April screamed.
"I won't. You have to solve the Labyrinth."
"What?" April asked
"You have 13 hours in which to solve the Labyrinth, before
Sarah has to stay her forever. Such a pity to you, but a treasure
to me."
Jareth said, vanishing.
"God. The Labyrinth. Well, I have to do it." April said
walking towards it.
Just then she saw a dwarf with white hair. he was sitting there
looking at some jewels.
"Excuse me, uhhh, sir! Do you know a way into the
Labyrinth?"April politely asked.
"Oh,ah, yes, why are you here?" the dwarf asked.
" I'm looking for my friend, Sarah. The king took-" April
started.
" Jareth took Sarah?Well, C'mon then! Let's go!" the dwarf
said
" Who are you?" April asked
"Hoggle You?"
"April. Its nice to meet you Higgle"
"Hoggle."
April followed Hoggle inti the door of the Labyrinth.
"Oh, there it is! thank you Hoggle!" April said, running
into the Labyrinth.
She stopped short. There were 2 ways to go. then she put
herself into Sarah's mind. She went lef. After a while, she finally
was about to give up.
"WHY ISN'T THERE A TURN?!?" April screamed
"God, don't get your panties in a twist.Walk through the
wall." a voice appeared.
"Who said that?" April shakingly asked.
"BEHIND YOU! God!"
April turned around.
"NOW where are you?" she asked.
"Up!" April looked up. "Hello!"
"What are you?" April asked, wondering.
"Well, above ground I'm a racoon, and Underground I am...
still...a racoon." the creature explained.
"Don't be silly! Racoons can't talk!" April blurted out.
"Ah, you see, this is a land where everything seems possible
and nothing is what it seems. So do not take anything for granted,
uh....."
"April. You?" April introduced.
"I am of a rare species. My family here is extinct, and,
sadly, I am the only one left. I'm the heir. My name is Mark!!!" the
racoon said, holding up to fingers in a peace symbol when saying his
name.
"Oh." April said.
"What may I help you with?" Mark asked.
"Do you possibly know how to get through the Labyrinth?"
April asked.
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm........let me see....." Mark said, looking
around. "Ummmm........ no."
"Well, yar no help!!!" Hoggle said.
"Well, excuse me, Mr. Speech impetiment! I do know that you
can walk throught that wall right there to get you on the start of
your journey." Mark sassed back.
"Thanks!!!!!" April said, grateful enough that she got some
direction.
"Wait, fair maiden, I will go with thee!" Another strange
voice appeared.
"Who are you?" April asked.
"Huh? Sir Didymus?" Hoggle said.
"Sir Hoggle!!! How nice to see you again!!!!" Sir Didymus
greeted.
"Ok, so now I have two of Sarah's friends-" April started.
"-And me!!!" Mark said.
"-And Mark. Now, where is the third one?" April finished.
Both Hoggle and Sir Didymus bowed their heads in respect. April
knew that something happened.
"Poor Ludo......" Hoggle started.
"Yes, poor Ludo...." Sir Didymus said, but was cut off by
April.
"I don't think I want to know." April said.
"No, no, it's all right. Ya see, after we had a party at
Sarah's, Ludo stepped into the mirror to go home and lost himself
into another world." Hoggle explained.
"Yes, but let's go! We have to save Sarah!" Mark said,
breaking the silence.
"Right!" the rest of the gang said.
Sarah, April thought, I wonder what you are doing now?
CHAPTER 8
"Why did you bring me here AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!" Sarah screamed
to Jareth as loud as she could.
"I had to. It was an obligation." Jareth answered. He was
still mad at her beyond belief.
"AN OBLIGATION!?!?!?!?!?!" Sarah once again screamed.
"YES!!!" Jareth yelled back, then continued more calmly."I
have to grant every wish that comes to me, or my magic, and myself
included, would disappear."
Sarah, being blinded with rage, saddness, and utter confusion,
asked:
"WHO WISHED ME HEAR?"
Jareth, using one of his amazing talents, disguised his voice
like April's:
"I wish the Goblin King would come and take you away RIGHT
NOW!!!"
Oh, shit! Wait a minute.....
"YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME!!!!!" Sarah enthusiastically
said, hoping she would go home.
"That won't work." Jareth said, amused.
"Why not?" Sarah asked.
"Your friend has to say it, not you!"
Damn!! Sarah thought.
"No,no,no,no,no!" Sarah said, crying.
"I have a surprise for you, Sarah." Jareth said, breaking
Sarah's train of thought. "If you would, please, follow me." Turning
away, he started walking to a window.
Sarah really had no choice. She hesitantly walked toward the
window, where Jareth and her met before.
"There." Jareth said, pointing at a part of the
Labyrinth. "Is your friend. She is looking for you. Quite a young
spirit. Now, would you join me for dinner?"
Sarah, uncertain of what to do, agreed. Why argue when you were
going to be in the castle awhile? Besides, she was hungry. What
could it hurt?
CHAPTER 9
It hurt. ALOT.
She woke up an hour later in Jareth's bedchamber!!!!!!!
Shit, what did I just do? Oh, I know what I did! Why did I
do it? Why?! Why?!?! Sarah thought.
Jareth, feeling Sarah tossing and turning, thought:
Did I just take advantage of her? Shit! Double Shit! Double
bloody shit!
Both, at the same time, jumped out of the bed with sheets and
blankets.
"No, no, no! This did not just happen!" Sarah said.
Jareth looked to the floor, his feelings hurt. This was the
woman he loved who denied it. To his surprise, he was actually
about... to ...cry... NO! Not now. He had a job to attend to. He
turned around and got dressed the fastest way he knew how: magic.
"10 hours and 5 minutes. Time to go see your friend." With
that, and a stolen kiss, Jareth left Sarah standing by the bed.
Why do I feel like I'm gloating? Could I be in.... Sarah
lost her train of thought when a guy suddenly broke into the room.
The man did not notice Sarah at all as she jumped in between the
blankets and sheets. From the back, he looked a lot like Jareth.
"I coulsd have sworn I left it here.....ah! There it is!"
The guy went and lifted off the blankets, revealing Sarah.
"Sarah, I was only gone for 10 minutes." Jareth said.
"Oh, it's you! I didn't notice...." Sarah stopped as she
peered into Jareth's eyes. Blue and brown flickered through them
with passion.
She slowly went and kissed him on the lips. Jareth's warm arms
snuggled around her waist.
Sarah, with a sly grin, started to fumble with the buttons on
his poet's shirt. Frustrated, she ripped it down the middle. She
tossed it to the floor.
"Sarah, that was my favorite shirt!!!!" Jareth gasped out.
"Tough." Sarah said playfully as they both started to make
love.
CHAPTER 10
Sarah woke up.
What happened? she thought as she looked over and found
Jareth laying by her side. She put her arm around his chest and
hugged him.
"Morning." Jareth groggily replied. He looked at the clock
on his wall.
"9 hours and 23 minutes. I have to go."
A quick change of clothes, a stolen kiss and Jareth was gone
once again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*************************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"There are SO many twists and turns!!!! How are we ever
going to get to the castle in time?!?!?!?!" April complained.
"Well, if you stop complaining,and think a different way,
you might actually get some work done." A strange voice appeared. It
happen to be the Goblin King. "You guys are helping her, right?" he
asked.
"No, no! I was leading her back to the beginning, yer
majesty." Hoggle hastily replied.
"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!" April screamed.
"Higble....." Jareth started.
"Hoggle!" Hoggle corrected.
"Whatever. You told me that before and you were lying. Why
do you it now you deceitful little scab?" Jareth slpit through
Hoggle.
"Because...." Hoggle spated out.
"Because of what? Friends?" Jareth asked.
"It don't matter."
April cutted in. " Look, I have little time left to solve this
damn maze and I am going to solve without your 'great' help,
Hoggle!!!!" April stormed off with Sir Didymus and Mark.
CHAPTER 11
"Oh dear, poor Hoghead!"
"Hoggle."
"Yeah. Anyway, why do you always do that when yuor friends
need you the most?"
"Do what?" Hoggle asked.
"YOU ACTUALLY HAVE FRIENDS, BUT YOU TURN ON THEM. THEY
FORGIVE YOU UNTIL IT BECOMES A PATTERN. PEOPLE WOULD KILL FOR THAT.
YOU ARE ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES!!!"
Jareth started to calm down, Hoggle was sitting by on a hedge,
face in hands, crying.
"Oh come, come, come, Hogble. Surely you think that your
life is horrible, but why do you think I put you in the oubliette to
live?" Jareth asked.
"So people would forget-" Hoggle started morbilly.
"No! So you could do and have anything you want. You were
free all the time. You just assumed that everyone hates you, Hogeg."
"Well, don't they?" Hoggle asked.
"No, they just don't know you. And if you were a little open
to affection and more social, you could have friends. Do not throw
your life away." Jareth said.
"Then why did you put me in a place to forget about me?"
Hoggle asked.
"So I wouldn't see you suffer." Jareth calmly explained.
"Why then?"
"Because no one deserves to suffer."
CHAPTER 12
"Well, he was a lot of help." April thought out loud.
"Excuse me, fair maiden, if I made had a word?" Sir Didymus
asked.
"Sure Didymus." April agreed.
"It was only 9 months ago when Lady Sarah made her journey
through here. No one even tried to stop her, she was determined."
Sir Didymus started.
"Yeah, so?" April asked, while the three friends continued
walking.
"Fair Sarah was his only friend." Sir Didymus started
April cutted in. "Ever?"
"Ever. And Sir Hoggle, well, was never intune with his
affection. Maybe it was because of his dreadful past, I am not
certain." Sir Didymus explained.
"What happened?" April asked, now curious.
"No one knew why, but Sir Hoggle's father disappeared. His
poor mother, Gods rest her soul, unfortunately past away during
childbirth. Fair Lady Vivienne raised him, and did not treat him
with tender, loving care that a young lad should have." Sir Didymus
went further.
"And?" April asked, in wonderment.
"And lets just say its hell!" Hoggle's voice said.
"Come on! I am tired of listening to you people talk while
we got to go save a damsel! Get a move on!" Mark loudly said.
"Right!!!" Everyone else said.
They finally went through the hedge maze, and went into the
forest. Hoggle went to go pick berries and said that he'll catch up
later.
"I wonder....." April said.
She walked into a clearing.
"Goblin king! Goblin king! I need to talk to you! Where are
you?" April screamed.
"Why are you doing that?" Mark asked.
"Maybe she is giving up." Jareth said, appearing.
"No, I was not going to give up. Friends don't givew up on
friends." April said defensively.
"Really? But they do wish them away, right?" Jareth asked
calmly.
"I just had a question!!!!!!!!!!" April almost yelled,
flying her arms in the air.
"I just have an answer!" Jareth said, mimicing April.
She is so easy to get infuriated!!! Jareth thought.
"What are fireys?" April asked, annoyed.
"That you have to find out on your own." With that, Jareth
grabbed Sir Didymus and vanished.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~********************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Your majesty, what is the matter?" Sir Didymus asked,
baffled.
"YOU. I am forbiding anyone who helps the girl. Why did you
help her?" Jareth asked, furiously. It was because April was getting
nearer and he wanted Sarah to stay.
"I..... I.... I wanted to see Lady Sarah, M'lord."
"PLEASE DON'T!!!! I am sending you back to the Bog now."
Jareth said, tossing a crystal to Sir Didymus.
In an instant, Sir Didymus was home.

"Mark?" April asked, noticing her only friend was gone.
"MARK!" April yelled. Where is he?
"MARK!!!! MARK!!!! MA-RK!!!!!"
-Tap tap tap-
"Whats going on?" April wandered.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA HA
HA HA HA!!!!!!!" Firey 1 screamed.
"What the hell do you want?" April asked protectively.
"We just out to have a good time!!!!!!!!!! HA HA!!!!" Firey
2 said.
"Yeah!" Firey 3 said.
"That's right!!!!" Number 4 said.
Firey 5 sang:
Don't have no problems!!!
-No problems-
Don't have no suitcase
-No suitcase-
Don't have no clothes to worry about!
-No clothes to worry about-
"Hold up! Hold everything! Besides singing and dancing, do
any of you.... things..... know how to get to the castle at the
center of this here Labyrinth?" April asked, somewhat amused.
Firey 1 chanted:
Castle? Castle! Yes we do!!!
"Show me then!" April said.
"Wait - do you want this peach?" Firey 2 asked.
"Thank you!!! You are a life saver! I'm starved!"
April bit into the peach, its juices flowing into her mouth.
This tastes strange, she thought. By then all of the fireys were
away. April stumbled a few steps, hallucinating. Then she fell to
the ground with a thud. She drawled off to a deep sleep.
