Hi there! I should be working on Found right now but my computer died and it had to go to the Mac doctors so I haven't had my computer for the past week. In the meanwhile I came up with an idea and started typing it on my phone so here it is.
Rocky Horror through the eyes of a child.
This could be considered a prequel to Shock Value if you choose to look at it that way, it certainly would make sense to. It stars City again, for those of you who don't know, City is the daughter of Magenta and Riff Raff. Okay! Enough of my rambling, enjoy!
T-minus 2 hours until the Annual Transylvanian Convention:
The entire house was buzzing; Columbia was polishing her tap shoes feverishly in the ballroom as Riff Raff put the finishing touches on the decorations. Frank was in his room preparing himself and the lab for the big reveal, City didn't exactly know what this reveal was but she was excited to see it. From what her father had told her, it was going to be like something she had never seen and that excited her beyond her wildest imagination.
The entire castle seemed to be lit up with excitement and there City was, being put to bed by her mother Magenta.
"Mommy, why do I have to go to bed? I want to do the Time Warp! I want to go to the party like everybody else!" City argued as Magenta pulled a black nightgown on over her daughter's head. City was eleven and she had never even so much as heard the Time Warp, only that her parents spoke highly of it, probably because they both got solos in it.
"Because you are too young to be up this late for the party and I don't want you to have to see the reveal in the lab. It could scare you." Magenta still refused after a week of begging, it was crunch time for the young alien. She needed to hear see a good response from her mother and fast!
"Fine! I'll just stay for the Time Warp then go right to bed! Please Mommy! Pllleeeaaaassseee?" City was resilient. She refused to let her request go ignored. Magenta lifted the young girl so she stood on her bed. They met eye to eye and for a split second, Magenta almost fell for her daughter's ploy. The Domestic used to do the same thing to her older brother which oddly enough was how City was conceived, but that was beside the point.
"No City, that's my final word. I need to go help your father get ready for the guests. Go to sleep." She kissed her daughter's temple before seating the child in bed and pulling the covers over her.
"But-"
"No. Bedtime. Goodnight." Magenta had to be firm, she, in truth, hated being harsh on her daughter but it was necessary, even if it was too tiring for words. Frank worked his servants to the bone, City had the misfortune to watch him punish her parents on occasion, and even she knew that her parents had to obey without question. "And don't even think of leaving this room tonight, understand?"
"I understand…goodnight Mommy!" City curled up into a ball, seemingly defeated. Her mother turned out the lights and left the room quietly.
Instantly the child was awake. She just had to wait for a good moment to sneak into the party. Little did she know, her plans would be thwarted by two Earthlings with a flat tire...
So there you have it. The prologue of sorts, the next few chapters should be longer so no worries there! I hope you enjoyed reading it and I will have the next chapter of Found up soon! I promise!
R&R,
Jenny
