First of all, thank you very much for supporting my old stories. I don't think I can ever top The Queen's Love Child, but I hope I will bring you more and better Rocky Horror Fan Fic in the future!
So... I am continuing Love at First Sight. No worries, if you have not read it, you don't have to go back to read my old story. I will re-post the old story (the first three chapters of this story) and expand the storyline a bit.
If you want to read ahead, feel free to click on my old story, but I will suggest you to read this new version. :)
DeLordy was supposed to be the bad guy who was "overfed, overweight, overdressed and oversexed" and had "the pencil moustache plus thighboots over his fishnets". In this story, he would be a nice handsome guy who will help Riff Raff and Magenta, someone whom Columbia will fall in love with. So, just forget everything you think you know about him.
Declaimer: Richard O'Brien the genius owns everything.
= Going to Another Planet? =
Janet, Brad and Dr. Scott just left the castle. Frankie and Rocky were floating in the pool as Magenta and Riff Raff laughed quietly.
"Our noble mission is completed, my most beautiful sister, and soon we shall return to the Moon-Drenched Shores of our beloved planet," Riff Raff said to Magenta when touching her face with the back of his hand.
She replied, "Ah, sweet Transsexual, land of night. To sing and dance once more to your dark refrain. To take that step, to the right…"
"HAH!" they both laughed and shouted. Riff Raff continued, "But it's the pelvic thrust…"
Magenta said, "And our world will do the Time Warp again!"
Magenta stopped laughing and said, "I wonder if I remembered to lock up the dogs." They laughed louder.
Riff Raff replied, "No matter, my dear sister. Activate the transit crystal." Magenta went to the control room. The ground was shaking as the castle launched. Riff Raff fished Frankie and Rocky from the pool. He dripped a few drops of chemical onto their bodies, and then the bodies dissolved and disappeared.
Magenta returned to the showroom and stood next to the pool. Magenta grabbed Riff Raff's arm and asked, "Why did you kill Columbia? You promised me not to hurt her. You knew I really liked her. She was like a sister to me."
"I didn't kill Columbia. Columbia, you can stop playing dead now." They started staring at me.
I sat up and started stretching my body. Magenta ran and started hugging me. Her hug was so warm, and she smelled like soap, just like my mother used to. "You didn't die! What happened? Did you and my beloved brother make a pact or something?"
"I told Columbia to play dead before I shot her. Anti-matter gun can't hurt any Earthlings. It can only kill Transylvanians. That's why I couldn't hurt Rocky when I shot him. His body was from a dead Earthling and his brain was from Eddie." Riff Raff walked toward us and explained.
As she helped me stand up, Magenta asked me, "Why didn't you tell me?"
I answered, "We wanted to give you a surprise!"
Magenta released me from her tight hug and I felt really cold. My body was shaking and I sneezed. "Come, let's go back to our room and get you out of these wet clothes." Magenta held my hand tightly and dragged me out of the showroom.
We were walking in the hallway. Magenta asked me, "Are you mad that we killed Frank N Furter?"
"No, I am fine," I shook my head. I knew I was lying to myself. Sure, I was unhappy that Frankie was killed, but Frankie killed Eddie, my other love. No, maybe Frank really did deserve to die. I loved Frankie, but he never loved me back. I loved Eddie and he loved me back. Who did I love more? I didn't know. I was just so confused. I lost both of my lovers on the same night, and I didn't even know who was right and who was wrong. If there was a man with Frank's charm and Eddie's sense of humours, that would be perfect. Maybe, I didn't deserve to love someone and to be loved.
I spent the next three days in my bed. I was sick and having a fever thanks to Frankie's cold water pool show. Although Magenta and Riff Raff could now use Frankie's room, Magenta still decided to stay in our room to take care of me. On the fourth day, I was feeling better, so I walked into the control room.
I truly wished I didn't go in. Riff Raff and Magenta were making out on the table. Magenta still had her clothes on, but Riff Raff was topless. I asked, "I guess this is not a good time, right?"
Magenta got down the table trying to tidy up her dress and answered, "It is fine. Do you need anything, Columbia?"
Trying not to stare at them, I said, "No, I don't really need anything. I am just curious. How are you going to explain to the Queen and the people in Transsexual that their Prince Frank is dead?"
"What?" Riff Raff and Magenta yelled in unison. They both looked very surprised.
I asked the question again, "How are you going to explain…"
"Umm, we didn't really plan anything." Magenta said in a low voice.
Riff Raff continued, "Well, we did plan to kill the Prince."
"Actually, it's more of an angry killing."
"And you just reminded us… we forgot to plan what to tell the Queen."
"We didn't exactly think it through before we did it."
"Well, we could lie."
"Wait, no! I remembered that the Queen has some kind of telepathic connection with her son. I think the Queen could sense Frank N Furter's death at the very moment you shot him."
"We are screwed…" They stopped talking and started staring at each other.
This was not good – Riff Raff and Magenta continuing each other's sentence. They only talked in duets when they were scared or didn't know what to do. They did it once on the first day I came into the castle when I found the two siblings sleeping together. They did it again the other day when they were in the supermarket, trying to "socialize" with the cashier lady but accidentally telling her too much details of where they came from.
We spent the rest of the day quietly thinking what to lie about. At last, Riff Raff broke the ice. "If they forgive us, then we will live our lives happily ever after. If they want to kill us, then we will return to Earth, get a new identity and find a new place to hide."
"Sounds like a plan," I said, "Why don't we just return to Earth now?"
Magenta added, "We had left our home for ten years. We still have family in Transsexual, and I really do miss the place we grew up in. If we are to start running for our lives, I would still want to have the last look of our beloved planet and say good bye to my parents."
"Okay," I wrapped my arm around Magenta's shoulder, trying to comfort her.
Even though Transylvanian technologies were more advanced than Earth technologies, it still took us one full week to travel from Earth to Transsexual. It was a beautiful planet. I felt in love with the planet the moment I saw it. I would not mind staying here for the rest of my life. I was very excited until…
(To Be Continued...)
Well, the first chapter is always longer... I hope you are enjoying this story. Let me know what you think.
