I do not own or profit from Labyrinth or any of it's characters in any way, shape or form.

Hello again! This is the story I've been working on for so very long, even before SS&IK. I found myself surprised no one(at least that I have seen so correct me if I'm wrong) wrote a store from the angle of Jareth becoming a rock star aboveground...maybe it's too obvious hehe. Anyway, I have spent my adult life(and a few teen years) in the music biz myself so I thought I could use some of my personal knowledge and create something fun and interesting. It's going to still be a rather straightforward romance story, but it's a storyline that is near and dear to my heart and I hope you all enjoy it.

Prologue:

The Underground court, several months after what has become known as "The Defeat of The Goblin King."

Jareth stood straight and proud, facing the council.

"Jareth The Goblin King, after a lengthy trial, you have been found to be culpable and and singly responsible for the act of failing to defeat a human, by allowing said human, a one Sarah Williams, to solve The Labyrinth, also resulting in her escape from this realm alive with the knowledge of it's existence, thereby endangering us all, which is a grievous offense What say you?"

Jareth took a deep breath and responded solemnly. "Wise council, I could not in good conscience end the life of Miss Williams, as I do believe she is my chosen mate. I offered her my hand, she refused. I plan to wait until she is of age and make her the offer again. I believe the memory of her time here is safe until that time."

The Head councilman stood, angered. "You think a mortal girl is your chosen mate? Are you mad? You put us all in danger because you "believe" this to be the case? How dare you Goblin King!"

"I warned this council over a thousand years ago, when they made you a king, that you were too young, too unpredictable to hold such a position of power, no matter how much magic you could wield!"

Jareth glanced at his friend, cousin, and right hand man, Derryn. They knew and discussed what might happen this day.

"Lord Brayson," Jareth started to reply.

"No more, Goblin King. We have heard enough. You want this mortal woman so badly, so here is your punishment."

"You are sentenced to 10 years banishment in the mortal world, in which you are to find, and woo, this so called chosen mate of yours. If you manage to do that, you will be allowed to return and assume your role as Goblin King and The Labyrinth's protector."

Jareth smiled. Seduce a mortal woman? Piece of cake.

"Wipe that smile off your face Your Majesty, it will not be so easy. First, Miss Williams' memories of this realm and of you are to be removed as well as your ability to use magic to find her. You must use conventional human methods."

"Also, you can take the three creatures you allowed to betray you to help, but only them. They will be given human form until they are allowed to return. Fail, and you will all be permanent residents, grow old, and die as mortals."

"Note, Goblin King, you are not allowed to let harm come to any one of them and they must all return with you or none of you will be allowed home. You will be allowed to retain a proper amount of magic to protect yourself and them from discovery and from the presence of iron in the mortal world, and to be able to glamour yourself, but the way back will be blocked from you."

Jareth was stunned. Those 3 miscreants? They would hinder more than help! Bumbling fools for him to watch over is all they would be, and his magic dampened? Sarah's memories taken from her? Damn it all!

"You have one week to settle your kingdom, decide on a temporary replacement, and get prepared. That is all."

Jareth turned and marched out of the hall enraged, followed by Derryn.

He needed to get back to his castle and figure out what to do about this and quickly.

The SS&IK sequel will be coming after this one, sometime in 2014. Love to all!
