The Next in Line
Summary: takes place 15 years later, Jareth is dying from a broken heart that Sarah caused, he picked Toby as his heir who is now 15 years old and Toby must come back with him to the underground to claim it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Labyrinth in any way or make a profit from it, I don’t own Return to The Labyrinth which is where I got the idea from and I might or might not use characters from that book I have not decided. Other characters not in the movie or books are own by me.
A/N: I also did get the idea for this story before I read the Return to The Labyrinth stories but the story wouldn’t leave me alone and have been in the back of my mind nagging me for years so I am finally writing it. Love it or hate it let me know even though you can’t really tell by the first chapter usually what you think of it. Here is the story.

Chapter One
An older fae man with white hair and a long beard was carrying a try of food and clear glass with some kind of orange liquid in it.
“Your breakfast sire” the man said
Jareth sat up looking at him, he was weak and he tried his hardest to sit up on his own while the man put his tray over him. Jareth picked up the clear bottle looking at the orange liquid with distaste.
“I know you don’t like to drink that sire, but it will help to make you strong for your travel to the above to keep an eye on your heir” he told him
Jareth quickly drank it down then gagged, then he ate his breakfast, while he was doing that, the older man went around the room opening the curtains and straightening things out of place.
Jareth groaned as he tried to get out of bed, he quickly ran to his side.
“Sir, you shouldn’t be getting out of bed yet, wait for the elixir to take effect, do you need to see the healer sire” he asked
Jareth leaned on the old man standing up “no, Pennington, I should be alright in a few minutes”
All of a sudden the medicine hit Jareth and he felt stronger and left his side and started to get dressed. Pennington stayed for a moment to make sure he was okay before he left; he saw that he was fine and had a lot of energy and that medicine will only last for so long then he would crash and have to have more and he left Jareth alone.

15 year old Toby was walking down the hallway to class with a girl walking next to him with dark black hair and bright blue eyes she was dressed like a goth girl while Toby looked normal just in a tee shirt and jeans they have been best friends since they met five years ago but both not knowing they like each other more than friends.
When they walked into class, the teacher called his name, he turned to look at her, she handed him a piece of paper and said.
“The new guidance counselor would like to meet with you”
Toby looked at his friend, who just shrugged her shoulders at him, he walked out of class and down to the counselor’s office and he saw a name on the door that said Mr. Jareth Quinn, he has never heard that name since Sarah read him the story Labyrinth. He shrugged his shoulders and said to himself “it can’t be the same person”
He knocked on the door. “Come in” a male voice called out
Toby walked in he saw a man standing in front of him behind the desk, Toby looked him over, he had his blonde hair pulled into a ponytail, he was wearing glasses and a suit and he knew it wasn’t the guy from the story even though Sarah told him that the Goblin King was real and might be coming for him someday, he laughed to himself and sat down across from the desk, Jareth took a seat across from him, he looked down at a folder opened before him.
“It says here in your file, that your parents died in a car accident five years ago and you live with your sister Sarah who is also the drama teacher here”
“Yes sir” Toby said
“Please call me Jareth” Jareth said
Toby started to get nervous, he saw Jareth look down at the papers in front of him and he raised his head to look at Toby.
“You were caught smoking on school grounds” Jareth gave him a disappointed look then continued “you skipped classes got suspended for fighting...”
“They started the fights” Toby interrupted
Jareth gave him a look that said that he was upset with Toby, but Toby continued.
“They pick on me because Sarah is a teacher here and they think she’s weird” Toby said
Jareth looked at Toby concerned “so you stick up for your sister that is admirable”
Toby smiled then frowned at him “so am in trouble?”
“No, Toby you are not, I just want to get to know all the students since I am new here” Jareth explained
They both stood up and shook hands “now hurry to class your already late”
Toby smiled and nodded, and he ran to class.
Jareth smiled and said to himself “he will make a great king once I’m gone”

Toby walked into class and sat down next to his friend Helena, she smiled at him.
“Toby your late” the teacher said
“Sorry miss Williams” Toby said opening up his play book
The bell rang all the students stood up; Toby and Helena were talking when Sarah’s voice interrupted them.
“Toby stay behind for a minute please” Sarah said
Helena smiled and waved to him and left the room, Toby didn’t look happy.
“This couldn’t wait till after school? People already think you favor me because I am your brother” Toby said
Sarah looked at him concentrating “Toby were you smoking again?”
Toby shook his head “no, of course not”
“Then where were you? That you had to miss my class that is not a hard question” she said
“I was talking to the new guidance counselor” Toby told her
Sarah thought for a moment then looked worried “Toby there is no new guidance counselor”
“Yes there is, his name is Jareth Quinn” Toby argued
Sarah’s face went pale at the mention of Jareth’s name, she quickly walked out of the classroom, Toby was afraid for his sister then he called to her “I doubt it’s the same person”
Then he whispered to himself “why would the goblin king be in school anyway”
Toby walked out of the classroom and to his next class.

Sarah walked into the guidance office; she stared at the closed door for a moment looking at the name on the door that said ‘Mr. Jareth Quinn’
Sarah turned the handle on the door and pushed the door opened, Jareth looked a little surprised behind the desk seeing her and he stood up and started walking towards her.
“Sarah it is so good to see you again” Jareth purred
“Save it goblin king, what are you doing here?” Sarah said angrily
“I came to see Toby” Jareth told her seriously
“You stay the hell away from my brother” Sarah said pointing her finger at him
Jareth stepped in front of her, he grabbed her left hand and brought it up to eye level looking at it “didn’t get married again, you keep sending them running don’t you”
Sarah’s face was turning red with anger “it’s all your fault you know”
Jareth looked at her and replied calmly “how is it my fault, when your three fiancée’s leave you at the alter”
“Because you won’t get out of my head” she tells him her voice raised slightly she didn’t want to draw attention to them.
Jareth smiles at that “you still think about me?”
“of course I do, you, my friends and the labyrinth have always been in my mind, my parents even committed me to a mental hospital for a couple of years saying that I was talking to my friends in a mirror and my parents couldn’t see them, they thought I was too crazy for Toby to be around me” she told him on the verge of tears
“And you turned out lovely, despite that” he says
Sarah moved closer to him so there bodies were barely touching.
“you will not take my brother from me, I had to try hard to keep my brother with me after my parents died they were going to put him in a foster home, but I fought for my brother and I will do it again” she hissed at him
Jareth didn’t say anything he just smiled at her, Sarah didn’t like the way he was looking at her and he said “so you never made it as an actress?”
“you know how hard it is to live in your mother’s shadow, everyone expecting you to be like her, but you’re not and people turn on you and say nasty things so I am now a drama teacher” she said
Jareth sat down on the edge of the desk “and you like it?”
“it’s alright” Sarah said
“You get to keep an eye on your brother” Jareth said
“Yes that too” Sarah said
Jareth was about to say something but hissed in pain and held his head, Sarah looked at him worried “are you okay, would you like to sit down and have some water”
He looked up at her “no, I have to get home”
“Are you sure you will be okay?” Sarah asked concerned
“Yes, fine” Jareth looked at her calmly and said to her “it was nice to see you again Lady Sarah” he bowed his head and disappeared
Sarah stared at the spot he left from and said to herself “no, Jareth was not really here it was just my imagination”
Sarah walked up to the secretary “excuse me”
The woman looked up at her from the computer “yes, Miss Williams, how may I help you?”
“How long has Jareth Quinn been working here?” Sarah asked
The secretary looked at her confused “who?”
“He had the office back there” Sarah said as she pointed to the door behind her, the door was closed and there was no name on the door.
She looked back at her and said “I must have been mistaken”
The secretary looked at her worried “are you okay?”
“Yes Jane I’m fine” Sarah said and walked out of the office, she went to find her brother.

Jareth appeared in his bed chambers, his servant was waiting for him “sir, you are late, you need more medicine”
“I know I’m sorry” he said as he walked over to the bed weak and lay down.
A short old elfin woman walked in “any longer up there Jareth and you could’ve died”
“I know Analeigh” Jareth said
The healer Analeigh gave him the medicine and it put him right to sleep “I’m worried about him” Pennington said to her
“I am too, if he doesn’t bring his heir here soon he could die” Analeigh said
“Or if Miss Williams doesn’t unbreak his heart then he will die” he told her
“Either way he is doom” the healer said

In a dark castle beyond Jareth’s
A man was sitting in a chair thinking a woman seated next to him.
“This is boring, why are we just sitting here, we should be doing something” the woman whined
“I am doing something I am thinking” he told her
She stuck her tongue out at him and got up from him; he ignored her and then said out loud as he looked into a big crystal ball in front of him.
“Jareth is getting weaker he made contact with his heir I must find him and take him from him”
“It could be the girl he’s talking to “she told him
“no, my dear Claire a female cannot inherit a throne only a male can either from a blood line or with the king’s choosing” he told her
“Poor Jareth” she said
“WHAT!!!” he yelles
She shrank back from him and in a small squeaky voice said “I only meant poor Jareth once you’re through with him there will be nothing left”
He smiled wickedly “why you have a crush on the goblin king I will never know”
Claire walked behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist “because Rupert, you don’t want me so I am free to go to whoever I choose”
Rupert turned around and wrapped his arms tight around her it was tight enough that is hard for her to breathe “you will never go to the goblin king, I am sure there is someone much better for you than him”
She nodded at him and he let her go, she kept breathing in deeply watching him sit down and think again.

At Jareth’s Castle
Pennington and Analeigh felt someone appear behind them and ask in a female voice “how is my uncle doing?”
They both turned around and saw what looked like a fifteen year old girl standing there she looked goth.
“Helena shouldn’t you be in school keeping an eye on Toby Williams like you were ordered to do by Jareth” Pennington said
“Yes, but I am very worried about him, he is the only family I have left” Helena said sadly
Analeigh held Helena’s hand “don’t worry my dear I won’t let him die, I kept him around for fifteen years I can do it for another”
The three of them looked down at Jareth afraid that sometime he falls asleep he may never wake up, but they would do whatever it takes to keep him alive.

A/N: I hope you like this new story, I did actually want to keep going but I think I will end it here. I mostly just wanted to write the plot of the story and introduce the characters any questions feel free to send me a PM let me know if I you would like me to continue it or not.
