The stage was dark; nothing could be heard aside from a few scuffles of last minute prop set up and a few coughs from the eager audience. The large theatre was packed, filled to the brim with viewers. They had been looking forward to this play for two whole months now. The whole city had been eager to see this Labrynth nonsense. The stage lights came on and the curtain shimmered and trembled; Sarah was almost ready to enter the stage. The curtains parted and the stage lights hit the set. There stood a girl, posing as Sarah. She gave her monologue and ran home as the fake rain began to pour. There she met her father and step-mother, and had her argument. She banished her brother and Mamoru was finally ready for his big entrance. He stepped into Sarah's father's room through the window, but his boot caught on the edge of the sill. He fell, face first onto the ground and his large wig toppled off of his stood up quickly, and hurriedly put his wig back on. Why had he let Usagi talk him into doing this? Just because it was her favorite movie did not mean he too would like it. He had only agreed when she had pouted ever so cutely...and whined ever so annoyingly.

The audience laughed and Mamoru turned a shade of crimson. The hours flew by and Mamoru's torture was finally ended. He smiled at Usagias she met him outside, and he gave the petite blonde a tight hug.
"Why do I do these things for you, Usako?"
"Because I'm just so darn cute?"
Mamoru chuckled as he lowered his mouth to her own for a kiss, "perhaps...".

Mamoru laid down upon his bed and closed his weary eyes. It had been such a long, tiring day...He smiled to himself, anticipating the sweet dreams he would have of his little rabbit.

A baby's cry broke the silence and woke Mamoru from his blissful slumber. He sat up and groaned as he raked a hand through his shoulder length hair. ...Shoulder length? He jumped up in surprise and fear, and looked around his new surroundings with wide, confused eyes. The room was wildly decorated with outrageous stuffed animals and various posters of musicals on the painted walls. He glanced into the vanity mirror in alarm and gave a yelp of surprise at what he saw. He was wearing a night gown, and his hair was much too long. Another cry from the baby brought Mamoru out of his stupor.

"Oh, Toby I'm coming!"

Mamoru blinked in slight confusion. Toby? He had had one too many rehearsals in the past week and it was wearing off on him. That was it! He was having some weird dream! Another cry grated on Mamoru's nerves and sent a chill up his spine. "Alright, alright! I'm coming!" He quickly pulled off his nightgown and looked down. All necessary parts still there and intact. He smiled and sighed in relief. He walked to the chest and drawers and dug through it. He found a pair of tight jeans and a billowy peasant blouse. He put them on and slipped on some shoes.
He then begrudgingly began to make his way towards the room that the screams were coming from. He threw the door open with a small groan.
"Toby, shut up. I'm tired and-...Shingo?"
Shingo sat in the crib, a little cramped, a bonnet on his head and a large cloth diaper wrapped around his middle. He scowled at Mamoru and gave an enthusiastic loud sob.
"This just gets weirder and weirder..."
He gave a defeated shrug and walked over to 'Toby' to gently rub the child's back.

"Shh...be quiet now, it's all right..."
Toby hiccupped and sniffled as he looked up at Mamoru. Mamoru smiled as he leaned down, "See? All better."
With that said, Toby grew quite still. Concerned, Mamoru leaned even closer to the child, "Shingo, err, Toby...?" Toby blinked, coughed, then spat up all over Mamoru before bursting into new sobs.

Mamoru's left eye twitched as he stood up slowly. "Fine, all right." He walked to the door and glared over his shoulder at the bawling child. "I wish the Goblins would come and take you away. Right now." He turned off the lights and went into the bathroom to clean up. When he came out again, he paused before heading back to bed. All was silent. In fact, all had been silent since he left the room Shingo had been in. What had he said before he left...?
"Oh. Crap."
He dashed into the room, attempted to turn on the lights in vain, gave up, then called out almost hesitantly, "Shingo...?" He walked towards the crib. Empty. He heard an evil cackle and spun around. "What's going on? Ugh...what deja vu. If I never have to act this out again, it'll be too soon..."
A light beating on the window caused Mamoru to turn around once more. There was a beautiful owl with golden tipped white feathers trying to get inside. Suddenly the windows blew open and the owl darted in. Mamoru stepped backwards to give the bird plenty of room, his blue eyes slightly wide.
In a flash of smoke, color and light a figure appeared where the bird had previously been hovering. Mamoru coughed and blinked as his eyes stung with tears from the smoke. As his vision readjusted he gasped in surprise as the Goblin King stood before him.
"Of all people...Why did it have to be you?"
