Disclaimer: I don't own The Rocky Horror Picture Show.


A/N: The first names of the main characters are a reference to Mort and Ysabel from Mort by Terry Pratchett. Their last names are a reference to Will Riker and Deanna Troi from Star Trek: TNG.

By the way, the movie they reference at the beginning is The Star Wars Holiday Special. It's horrifying. Yes, Carrie Fisher was very high and there actually was a scene that was basically Chewbacca's dad watching porn.


Mort Riker and his good friend, Isabel Troi, were very bored.

They'd been searching through the many films in his parents basement for hours and they still hasn't found something to watch. This wasn't surprising, since they'd watched a film together every single Saturday since 5th grade. That meant about 53 movies over the past six years. Of course, they'd re-watched a few of the really good ones... but you can only see Forbidden Planetso many times.

"What's this?" Isabel asked suddenly.

"Hmm?"

She held up a DVD case for him to see. It had very scandalous rep lips on it. 'A different set of jaws', the cover proclaimed.

"I haven't seen that before," Mort said slowly. "And I've gone through these boxes a million times..."

"It looks weird. Very weird," Isabel muttered. "Should we watch it? I don't know about you, but it doesn't look bad. Just weird. Anyway, it can't be any worse than that Christmas movie with the in-universe Wookiee porno and Carrie Fisher so high she can't remember filming it."

Mort shuddered at the memory. "I thought we vowed to never mention that… monstrosity again."

"I think we did."

They stood there in silence for a moment.

"Let's watch this movie, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It looks interesting enough. Going by the summary, it's Science Fiction," Isabel said. "And we both like Science Fiction.

"Going by the cover, it's not Science Fiction. Those lips don't look very Sci-Fi.

"They say one shouldn't judge a book by its cover."

Mort raised an eyebrow. "What does the summary say it's about?"

"A mad scientist from outer space, living on Earth in a castle, who builds a creature called Rocky Horror," she explained.

"Hmm. Doesn't sound too bad…"

"I wish we could go on an adventure like that. A mad scientist, a castle... how exciting!" Isabel said.


In a different dimension, two unpleasant goblins awoke.

"Did somebody say 'I wish'?" asked one.

"Yes," replied the other.

"Well, what was the rest of the sentence? What did they wish?"

"To go on an adventure like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, I think."

"Ha! That'll be a sight. I think they underestimate the power of crossdressing scientist from outer space. Maybe we should grant this wish, an they'll see what fools they are!"

"The King won't like this. Sending them to that dimension without his permission isn't something he'd approve of."

"Then don't tell him. Though I hear he knows the good doctor and wouldn't mind such a thing. Anyway, after the incident with Sasha-"

"Sara!"

"Whatever. After that he hasn't really been into personally meddling with mortals. Let's grant their wish!"

"Only if they say the right words."


"So you want to watch the movie?" Mort replied.

"Yes, I do."

Mort turned on the television and put the DVD in the player. A slowed-down version of the 20th century fox fanfare played. Then, a slow rock ballad began.

"There are those lips again," Mort said.

"Yes..."

Those red lips began to sing a song. Though the lips looked quite feminine, the voice singing was clearly a man's. If it weren't for the Science Fiction inspired song, he would've suspected that the film didn't involve anything Sci-Fi related. The names of some of the characters listed didn't sound right, for one thing.

"…then something went wrong… for Fay Wray and King Kong… they got caught in a celluloid Jam… then, at a deadly pace, It Came From Outer Space… and this is how the message ran…"

The song the lips sang mesmerized Isabel. As they sat there she stared at them as if hypnotized.

"…Doctor X will build a creature… see androids fighting… Brad and Janet… Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet…"

"We've seen that," Mort said.

Isabel didn't seem to hear him. That worried him quite a bit.

"I wish... I wish I could be in a Science Fiction..." she muttered.


"Sat it!" the two goblins hissed. "Say it right!"


"At the late night... Double feature... Picture show... I wanna go... To the late night, double feature... Picture show... by RKO… at the late night, double feature, picture show… in the back row… to the late night double feature…"

"I wanna be in the Rocky horror..." Isabel whispered.

"Picture show..." the lips finished.

Suddenly, there was a flash of white light, like lightning.

Suddenly, they weren't in Mort's basement anymore.

Suddenly, they weren't even in their own dimension…
