I hope this story has a good ending.

I think it depends on what you call "good", really.

That's not an encouraging answer.

I like the ending. A lot of other people think the girl should have been Queen.

What exactly happened?

A spoiled little girl wished away her brother to the Goblin Kingdom; she realized too late that she had made a horrible mistake. The Goblin King took pity on her, though, because he loved her...and he allowed her a chance to bring her brother back. She had to run the Labyrinth and face many challenges.

When she reached the castle, the Goblin King offered her the world. She chose her brother and she and her brother went home.

What would you do with the world?

...I don't know. I never really thought about it.

How is your brother?

Obnoxious as ever, but he's not a Goblin and I don't take him for granted anymore.

I'm glad you chose your brother.

...Me too. Very glad.

He probably agrees ~~to say the least~~.

I hope he doesn't remember it. I'd hate for him to think I could do such a thing.

Then...will you tell him?

Is that magic?

Not magic, not really. The Goblin King is the one with the magic.

Oh. It sounded a little like magic. Sorry.

Dorothy Gale. Nice to meet you.

You don't have to apologize to me.

*o.o* ...You probably get this all of the time, but like the book? That's amazing.

I'm Sarah. Sarah Williams.

Mmhmm. Though, technically, the book is from me.

Do you know the Goblin King?

That's...oh. Wow. Should I curtsy or...? Sorry. It's my favorite book...It and Alice in Wonderland.

*nods* I do. Or I did.

Hey, I'm just a girl like you.

What's he like? I've heard... rumors.

Yeah, but still! *giggles*

What kind of rumors?

Don't worry. I get it a lot.

Oh, you know... big hair, small pants. Is all that true?

Sorry! *sheepish*

*giggles then* Totally big hair. REALLY tight pants, and I'm pretty sure he uses a sock, if you know what I mean!

Oh boy.

I'll have to warn Ozma. She was all set to invite him to the Masquerade, sight unseen. Might be more trouble than it's worth.

Sounds a bit like another day at the office, if you ask me.

*smiles* What, are you like...FBI or something?

Something like that, yeah. *eyebrow quirk* If I told you, I'd have to and so on.

Ah. Hush-hush.

Very. But it's good for the 'mysterious' act.

Are you in danger?

*tiny smile* Not right now. I think that part's over.

*concerned frown* Are you certain?

Promise. No more Cleaners or Oubliettes.

All right. I'm not sure I know what those are, but they sound nasty.
