Brad, Janet and their long time friends Suzy and Paul waited in the lounge room for their children to come out. It was their kids' ball and they were going together, Brad and Janet's son and Paul and Suzy's daughter. The couples could always tell that their children would end up together, they just seemed perfect. Tom wasn't Brad's son though, he was the child of Janet and the Transvestite alien Dr. Frank N. Furter. Tom knew that Brad wasn't his real dad but he had brought him up so he called him dad and thought of him as his father anyway. Josephine, preferably Joey was adopted and liked to make that clear at times but still called Suzy and Paul her Mum and Dad. She was only sixteen but had been put up a year in school so she, like Tom, was in her final year of high school. Joey's birth certificate said she was European but she didn't seem European, foreign, but not European.
The two teens walked into the lounge room and their parents gasped, they looked positively beautiful. Tom, like Frank, had dark curly hair, hazel eyes and very chiselled features. If he didn't have Janet's nose he would look exactly like his late father. Tonight he wore a classic black tux that complimented his body type and he had combed his hair back as best as he could but even if it was messy he would look just as fantastic, if not better. Joey was a beautiful girl. She had long blonde hair that was usually straight but tonight she wore it in ringlets. She wore very little makeup besides the little eyeliner she used to bring out her dark green eyes and the light shade of lipstick. Joey had a very thin but still very feminine frame that looked lovely in the long red dress she wore tonight but of corse, she had to punk it up with her leather jacket. Together the couple screamed beauty, but not Earth beauty.
"Oh you two
look great!" Janet sighed, staring adoringly at baby boy and the
little girl from next door. "Don't they look so cute together
Suzy?"
"They're just about the cutest couple I've ever
seen." Suzy said in a voice that you would talk to a baby in. Joey
rolled her eyes and Tom laughed.
"Tom you look great," Brad
said,
"Thanks Dad." Tom said in his deep, almost english
sounding voice.
"And Joey, you're just so beautiful."
"Thanks Mr. Majors." Joey giggled and blushed a little.
"Now
you two have a good time tonight but be home by twelve." Paul
stated sternly. Joey rolled her eyes again.
"Don't worry Mr.
Hall, I'll get Joey home on time." Tom said with a slight laugh
and put an arm around Joey who tried to shrug him off but it just
made Tom pull her closer in.
"Well, we better get going."
Joey said grabbing hold of Tom's hand and dragging him towards his
front door. "Bye Mum, Bye Dad, Bye Mr and Mrs Majors." She yelled
then slammed the front door after her and Tom left.
The four
parents stood, starring at the front door for a good deal of time,
wondering how their kids could have grown up so fast. Janet sighed
then started to walk to the kitchen.
"Who want's a cup of
coffee?" She asked.
"That would be lovely Janet." Paul
said,
"Yes, please Janet." Suzy added.
"I'll come
help you." Brad said and followed Janet into the kitchen.
"The kids have grown up so fast, haven't they honey?" Brad
said.
"Mmm." Was all Janet said as she filled up the kettle
and turned in on. Brad got four mugs, two pink, one blue and a
yellow, out of the cupboard and placed them in front of the kettle.
"Is something troubling you Janet?" He asked his wife of
seventeen years.
"No it's nothing… it's just… no it's
nothing." She said as she got out the coffee and sugar and put it
into all the mugs.
"What is it?" Brad asked. He leaned
against the kitchen counter.
"You know how Tom looks a lot
like… well… you know who?"
"Yeah?" Brad looked down at
the floor now. He was uncomfortable about this as a: that night
wasn't his proudest moment and b: he always thought of Tom as his
son and the thought of him being someone else's bothered him.
"Well," the kettle started whistling. "Haven't you noticed
that Joey looks like two certain people?" She poured the hot water
into the mugs. Brad got out the milk and passed it to his wife.
"Thank you, darling."
"No problem." He said, "You mean
the…"
"Yes, yes I do. And she was adopted." Janet poured
the milk into the coloured mugs then handed Brad the milk back to put
in the fridge, which he did.
"I'm sure that's just a
coincidence." Brad said trying to reassure his wife. "I was
adopted, I'm not from outer space." Janet laughed.
"No,
you're right. I'm just being paranoid." She picked up two mugs
and started for the lounge room again. "Brad be a dear and get the
other two coffees for me."
"Sure." He said and did what his
wife asked him too.
"We're not really going to the prom,
are we?" Tom asked his girlfriend anxiously.
"Of corse not."
Joey laughed as she ripped her dress so the hem was high up her thigh
and revealed her knee high black boots. In Tom's opinion Joey had
legs to die for and she would say the same about his. "We're
doing something much more fun!"
"Like what?" Tom asked and
raised an eyebrow and undid his bowtie and a few of his top buttons.
"It's a surprise!" Joey said smiling at him. He still looked at
her suspiciously. "What, don't you trust me?" She asked.
"I
haven't trusted you with "fun" activities since I was five and
you convinced me it would be fun to jump out of a tall tree." He
stated bluntly. Joey laughed evilly, she seemed to enjoy things like
that.
"It was fun until you hit the ground." She joked.
"You're too evil to be human." Tom said to her.
"And
you're too cute to be human." She said and kissed him softly, but
quickly, on the lips. "Come on Tommy, grab your car and let's
blow this joint."
"Not until you, Josephine, tell me where we
are going." Tom said firmly. Joey sighed.
"Fine," She
huffed "you know that old castle grounds?"
"Yeah?"
"The band found some mechanical junk and a dead body. They want us
to fix it up and then see what it does to the body." Joey and Tom
were at the top of all their science classes, they could do almost
anything when it came to science and mechanics. They were also in a
band, the band didn't have a name yet but they wanted something
spacey yet cool at the same time. Joey was the drummer, a mean one at
that and Tom was the lead vocalist. They also had Chris, the
guitarist and Steph, the bass player. It was a small band but they
were a happy little family and they were good players. A small smile
played on Tom's lips.
"Sound's like fun." He said. Joey
laughed again.
"There's the dark side of Tommy I love so
much." She joked.
"I love you too." He said. They kissed
again, a little longer this time.
"Now, come on, get your car,
we haven't got all night."
