"But I'll be there for you, as the world falls down..."
You had to babysit for your infant half-brother, Toby. But he wouldn't stop crying. Loudly. It really got on your nerves. So much so that you called on the Goblin King to take him away, not knowing it would actually work.
Shockingly, Jareth, the devilishly handsome and charming King of the Underground came and whisked Toby away to his castle within the Goblin City. The only way that you could get your brother back was by solving Jareth's labyrinth within 13 hours. If you made it to his castle by then, he'd send you and Toby home.
Right now, one of your newfound 'friends', Hoggle, had just given you a peach because you were hungry and exhausted. Little did you know was that Jareth set up the dwarf to give you the fruit, as it was enchanted. It was a way to get you asleep, so the time would run out without you noticing.
He was a master at subtle enchantment. You had to admit that.
You, in your dazed state, began to hallucinate an enticing moment. You were dressed in an elaborate shimmering ballgown, and you were at a masquerade ball that was in full swing.
Couples danced, slow, romantic music played, and Jareth was there, looking as handsome as ever, wearing a glittering navy jacket and leather trousers. He looked even more attractive than usual. How is that possible!?
