The evening was sunny and amazing. Bianca walked down the park, offering her face to summer sunshine. Slowly, clouds crept across the horizon, but it still didn't look like rain.

Suddenly she heard a voice from the clearing. It was not the voice that forced her to stop, but the sound... or the words... For a moment she had a strong feeling of deja-vu. She carefully hid herself in the trees and peered into the clearing.

There was a girl in a romantic light dress, reciting something with a large hairy dog as her only audience. Bianca frowned, the strange feeling was more obvious now. Something was happening here, something she didn't like. Something she didn't understand completely.

The clock on a nearby town tower struck seven. The girl turned around, screamed something. Her skirts high, she ran across the bridge and then to the houses, her dog following happily. At the same moment weather turned crazy, clouds darkened and the heavens opened. The girl raised a hand to protect her face, still running - and at that moment Bianca recognized her.

Sarah.

For a moment she stood there, staring. What is this, some kind of a joke? Sarah is a character from a movie. There's no real Sarah. Of course, somebody can look similar. Somebody similar can walk the park in the evening and memorize the Labyrinth... of course, she can have a large dog and call to it "Merlin, run!", as well. Maybe she was some fan pretending to be Sarah... but this was too perfect. The girl didn't look like Sarah, she WAS Sarah. Bianca shook herself. It was crazy. Can film predict a future? But if yes...

She followed the girl.

Sarah ran through the streets, screaming "it's not fair", so she didn't notice Bianca following her. Completely wet, Bianca hid herself at the corner of the house and listened and watched. A moment later Sarah's parents left the house. Leaving to have some fun... Bianca trembled. The rain turned to a storm.

Park, parents. If this girl is going to baby-sit her brother now - so tonight is the night that Jareth comes and takes her. When she enters the Labyrinth. When she... destroys Jareth. Now, only now there will be a chance to stop it! Bianca just wanted to be sure.

For a moment she hesitated, then came closer to the large window. Framed in the half-lit window she saw Sarah, hands above her head, holding a baby like an offering to the storming heavens.

Bianca couldn't hear the girl, but she saw her mouth open, screaming. A white owl sat on a branch, waiting. The last chance. How... to call him herself. Turn his attention from the spoiled brat.

Bianca took a deep breath and said the words. When another lightning strike lit up the sky, the space under the window was empty.



"Fifty dollars."

"Jareth! It's not fair! This one was difficult! Suspicious."

"OK, sixty." The goblin king put the notes on the table, right beside the plastic baby. Sarah took them fast and hid them in her pocket.

"And we've got another one. I WILL get rid of that list at last..."
