DISCLAMER!!!!!  This story is MINE and mine alone, if you want to 
steal the character of me you may but let me know so I can come and 
visit me and treat her very nice and don't beat her too badly.  
(Unless she asks of course!) Jareth and the other Labyrinth characters
 are Jim Hensons.  I'm rating this story PG-13.  Some swearing....I 
don't foresee any sex happening in it....but you never know...maybe 
I'll transport my boyfriend into the labyrinth and give Anakerie 
something more to write about :-) P.S. Jareth, I'm sorry to keep 
referring to you as a pig, but I'm listening to Pigface right now as 
I'm writing this and it just fit.

Great.  That's all I could think.  Just frickin' great.  His Majesty 
pig-brain had my dream pillow.  I need that thing.  I didn't think I 
would when I let him take it, but it keeps the nightmares away....and 
nightmares seem to like me.  I didn't even know where to start.  How 
was I supposed to get into the labyrinth?  I couldn't very well wish 
myself in there....I didn't want to let you know who know I was 
staging a siege of his land.  I decided to call some of my friends 
to see if they had any ideas.  I called up my boyfriend first.  

"You're going to WHAT!?"  He cried.  
"I'm going into the labyrinth to get my dream pillow back."
"How on earth are you going to get into the labyrinth?" 
"I thought you would have an idea for that one" I told him.  "Well, 
there's always that trans-dimentional portal to hell I have in my 
closet" He replied.  
"What in the name of gods above and below are you doing with a 
trans-dimentional portal to hell in your closet!  And what am I 
supposed to do with that?  I know the labyrinth's bad, and Jareth's 
a prick, but I don't think it's quite hell."  He was no help.
He told me to be careful and then we hung up.

Eventually one of my friends did pull through for me.  The Mistress 
Wendy reminded me of a certain fairy ring.  We had done a few favors 
for the land of fey by putting up the ring in the first place....in 
her mind they owed me at least a trip to the labyrinth.

She did have a point.  It wouldn't hurt to ask at least.  It took me 
a while to find the ring.  Wendy and I had done a better job of hiding
 it than I thought.  I sat in the middle of the circle and clutched 
at the pentacle around my neck.  I began to concentrate on sending my 
mind into a trance when I saw the stones around me begin to glow.  
The one directly in front of me was glowing brighter than all the 
others.  It grew bigger and bigger as I stared at it.  I looked down 
for a second and when I looked up again the stone was a tall woman.  
"What can the fey do for you Lady Delirium?" The voice seemed to be 
all around me and inside my head all at the same time.  "I come 
seeking guidance my lady.  I require a way into the goblin king's 
labyrinth."  I smiled to myself to see the look on the fairy's face 
once I mentioned pig-boy.  Evidently Jareth-baby hadn't been making 
too many friends in the fey country.

"Why would you want to go there?  It's such a horrible place.  Come 
back with me instead."
"I would love to my lady, but Jareth has my dream pillow, and my 
nightmares have been getting more and more vivid every night." I knew
 better than to accept anything from a fairy.
"I can give you something to keep the nightmares away better than your
 silly little pillow my childe" Her voice had taken on a bit of a 
sinister tone.  She was probably not very pleased about me dragging 
her away from her revels just to listen to a little witch bitch.

I then told her the whole story about Jareth and the snoopy and how he
 came to my room one night and took my pillow and how he had also 
taken a love-a-lot bear and was now holding it hostage.  "What is so
 special about this dream pillow?"  She asked.  The sinister tone to 
her voice was gone.  Maybe my tale of pig-face and his stuffed buddy 
had amused her.

I told her how the pillow was decorated with magickal signs, and that
 it had herbs for sleeping in it and it had a pouch with a VERY 
special moonstone in it and how it had been crafted last Beltane and 
it was very special and if I had it back I would be most grateful. 
 
She looked at me.  I didn't like the feeling of her staring at me so 
intently.
"If I send you into the labyrinth will you promise to be kind to my 
brethren trapped there by the goblin king?"
What else could I do?  I promised.
She walked over to me and kissed me on the forehead and slipped a 
crystal around my neck.  Then she took my hand.
