First I have to apologise for the song. It took me 5 minutes to write it down, so it is finally just a sequence of silly words in rhyme...
This story is based on an idea of a famous German Saturday-series called "Tatort" ("Crime Scene"). There had been an episode about love among brothers and sisters and it really touched my soul. All of the protagonists were musicians (surprise, surprise *g*), but I thought it to be worth a shot.
Explanation:
There are 3 strands:
#1 Earth: today
#2 Transsexual – I: the early years on Transsexual
#3 Transsexual – II: right before going to earth
I hope you`re not confused! Please tell me, if there`s a problem.
Nevertheless, reviews are welcome! Now enjoy!
Disclaimer:
As always, I do not own any of the characters (except for Ruby) – they all belong to the fabulous Richard O`Brien (and in a way to FOX), but since I`m writing a FANfic, it`s not that astonishing.
I only own the idea and the silly song...
*EARTH*
„… will you love me forever…"
Magenta`s dark and mysterious voice was echoing through the stony walls of the castle.
The ballroom was nothing compared to the saloon back on Transsexual where they had been rehearsing regularly until some years ago. The saloon had been a special room, because it was the only room of the Queen`s castle where the sound of music was given this unique note.
Nearly a hundred of candles had always turned the saloon into a strange but lovely place...
Now, they were rehearsing in the ballroom and just a few candles were flickering shyly.
"... I know I`ve done something wrong..."
Magenta threw a glance at Frank who was sitting beside her, playing the cello with passion. Frank returned her look without any visibly emotion but Magenta knew him better.
Riff Raff – who played the piano – didn`t notice anything at all. He was all too captured by the song.
"... but I did it all just for you..."
Frank closed his eyes as his thoughts started to wander back...
*TRANSSEXUAL - I*
"I have an idea for a new song," young Riff Raff proclaimed as he walked into the music-room.
"Well, let`s see," young Frank said and leaned his head against his cello.
He knew that his friend always had wonderful ideas and so he waited in anticipation.
His friend – well, Riff Raff officially acted as his personal servant and playmate, but they had developed a kind of a friendship by the time.
Frank – the young royal – was publicly called a spoilt brat, but there was a different side, too. Surely, he got everything he demanded for, but after all he was the prince of Transsexual! The domestic Magenta and her brother Riff Raff knew him better than anyone else. Even Frank`s mother – the Queen of Transsexual – didn`t know everything concerning her son.
Frank loved his playmates.
They came into his life when he was 7 years old. As far as he knew they both were nearly the same age.
First, he had to challenge Riff Raff, but it was just a natural kind of challenging between boys. Unnecessary to mention, that he`d won the challenge... After all, the young blond boy was just his servant.
By the time, they all found out about their love to the music. It didn`t take much time to develop a harmonising group of three young musicians.
Everyday they were making music. It seemed that all of them tried to escape reality whenever they played a song together.
Riff Raff was a genius at the piano and Magenta had the most beautiful voice Frank had ever heard.
*EARTH*
"... will you still be the one..."
Magenta`s glance was travelling out of the window as she remembered...
*TRANSSEXUAL - I*
She was standing at the imposing piano talking to her brother when an unknown girl walked in.
"Hi there, my name is Ruby," the girl said and beamed a smile.
The three friends stared at her – absolutely stunned.
The girl was just beautiful! Her long strawberry-blonde hair was falling down in soft curls like cotton wool. It touched her shoulders just barely. Two wonderful grey and catlike eyes were focussing Frank who was standing right behind Magenta.
"I was asking for an audition so I was sent here."
The girl`s voice was perfectly clear. It was just the opposite of Magenta`s voice.
Magenta`s voice had always been marked by a smoky sound. It hadn`t changed since 15 years of being the prince`s playmate and everybody loved it the way it was.
Frank found his voice first.
"You want to sing?" he asked and the girl nodded still smiling.
"Well, let`s see," Frank took a seat beside Riff Raff and the two men looked at the girl, smiling too.
Magenta looked at her too, but her facial impressions showed everything but kindness.
"Would you please be so kind to play the piano?" Ruby asked in an extraordinary polite manner and Riff Raff turned around like being under hypnosis to do as he was told.
His fingers were touching the black and white notes with his all-too-good-known gracefulness and a famous love-song escaped the piano.
The girl named Ruby started to sing.
Magenta could feel Frank and her brother being captured by the soft and clear voice of the girl.
The longer the voice was echoing through the room the more it became louder inside Magenta`s head. She felt her mind starting to spin around and saw little stars coming into few like hundreds of fireflies.
Without a word Magenta stormed out of the room...
