A/N: A little story I'm working on based on my Rocky Horror RP's with AnnaleaseTurner. This is sort of set in both The Transylvanian Affair trilogy but more in the middle of Part Two (stories can be found on my DeviantART and Wattpad of the same name) and somewhere near the middle as well as on Best Friends with Benefits on my account. AnnaleaseTurner and I only own our OC's, everyone else belongs to Richard O'Brien. Read & Review as always! :)
It was nearing the end of summer. The leaves were changing color, the air was getting a bit more cooler, a lot of people were wearing jackets more. That only meant one thing: Autumn had come to Denton. LP watched outside as the leaves changed and people who had come to the TV Station were wearing warmer clothes than shorts and sleeveless tops.
"This is a season called Fall, or some people call it Autumn," Nation educated her new step-daughter. "We don't have it back on Transsexual, but it's a lovely season."
"It is lovely." LP agreed.
"A lot of children start back to school," Nation added in the former princess's education. "Would you like to go to school?"
LP looked back at her. "You mean, I can go and learn with other people my age?"
"Oh, yes, child. I thought you may like it, your father told me that when they weren't too busy, Riff Raff and Magenta often tutored you."
"They did, Daddy said that school can be dangerous, so he decided to home educate me."
"Well, it can be, LP, but you can have fun other than learning and make all sorts of new friends."
"W-What if no one likes me...?"
"Why wouldn't anyone like you?"
LP shrugged her shoulders, looking sad.
"Oh, sweetie," Nation stroked her hair lightly. "If they don't like you, then who needs them? You'll find a friend or two. Besides, Miracle will be there."
"David too?" LP lit up a little.
Nation chuckled. "Yes, David too... He ought to be there."
"Did you and Cosmo go to school?"
"Oh, yes, we loved school. Especially when Career Day came."
"What's career day?"
"It's usually when a bunch of grown-ups come to school and tell children what their jobs are so kids can have an idea of what they want to do with their life when they grow up. Maybe you don't know now, but you have plenty of time to think about that. I wasn't sure what I wanted to be, but Cosmo insisted on becoming a doctor, even if he wasn't that good in biology and health class."
LP laughed a bit, imagining Cosmo being a kid like her once. "When did you discover you wanted to be a doctor, Nation?"
Nation sighed a bit, thinking back on the golden memories of her childhood. "Well, when I was a bit older when Cosmo and I were getting at a legal age to take care of ourselves, I realized how much I loved spending time with my brother, even if he annoyed me at times, that maybe I could help him out until I got more experience and could assist him in any medicine. Shortly after we came to Earth, we had met Farley and he wanted new subjects for a television program he had an idea for and made us doctors. After playing doctors, we grew fond of it, and I decided to be Cosmo's assistant. We had a nurse before Laura came along, but she quit."
"I wonder if I'll be a doctor..." LP wondered to herself.
"We'll see, why don't we get you some stuff ready for school? You got a week before Denton Schools are back in session."
"A week?" LP bit her lip.
"Don't worry," Nation patted her head. "I'm sure you'll do fine, my dear."
The next day, Nation decided to have Laura take LP to the local market to get some school supplies such as a backpack, lunchbox, notebooks, pencils, pens, binders, folders, and maybe an apple for the teacher. LP was a teenager technically, but she still held onto Laura's hand as they walked into the market. Some people stared at LP, since they had not seen or heard of her before, but they felt they could recognize Laura based on her looks, but she wore casual clothes such as a yellow top with pink short pants and red sneakers.
"Oh, school is fun, it can be boring at times, but you'll love your first time there," Laura told LP as they walked down the market aisles to get the things on Nation's back to school list. "It's best you pay attention to any lesson... No matter how boring it might be. Can ya do that for me, honey?"
"I can try..." LP shrugged. "I always paid attention to Riff Raff and Magenta when they tutored me. I feel like I'm not smart enough though."
"Oh, hon, don't worry about it... Everyone has trouble here and there in school. I was always sometimes not paying attention in school cuz my friends were more interesting," Laura giggled, then covered her mouth. "Try not to do that, sweetie."
"Okay, Aunty Laura." LP had gotten over thinking of her as 'Aunty Columbia the Groupie' as she and Frank moved into the TV Station and now saw her as her new nanny. LP deeply missed Columbia and her tap dancing and not to mention those times Eddie would come over, but Laura and Ricky would have to do, as she had now adjusted to them and not just earning a new mother, Nation, and uncle, Cosmo.
Laura and LP looked over several back to school items. They didn't do any clothes shopping since LP's school had a uniform requirement. She wouldn't mind the uniforms though, it made her feel more back home, even if they were different from back home that she barely knew. Laura made sure LP had a lot of cuddly back to school items to make her feel comfortable. Laura paid for everything and she tried to settle the clerk checking them out as he was an avid viewer of Dentonvale and immediately recognized her. The girls got back in Laura's car and they drove back to the station to organize everything and have things ready for when LP starts school next week.
Nation was in the dining room with Frank as they shared a nice meal by candlelight which was recommended by Cosmo. Nation had been studying Frank lately to see why he was the way he is, and often made note that his mother had raised him that way and she was a bit like him with parenting Frank himself and his younger sisters.
"I'm really sorry for the way I treat Little Precious," Frank sighed sadly. "I'll get better, I promise... It's just... I'm so worried about her being out in the big world like this. She's far away from the home she barely even knows."
"It's okay, Frank, darling," Nation told him, while eating some of the spaghetti she made for them. After a swallow, she spoke again. "You just have to learn to let her breathe and try things on her own. Your mother never let you outside the castle and she gave YOU suitors."
"Yes..."
Nation patted the transvestite's hand. "Just let her explore for her own. She's new to Earth just as well as you are, if I recall, you were on Earth before she was born."
"I mostly wanted to escape my crazy mother... Then I came back before she'd even miss me."
Nation looked around and chuckled. "I don't blame you."
Frank raised an eyebrow at her.
"My mother drove me crazy too," Nation explained, chuckling a bit. "Mother's are funny people, Frank. They help you, let you grow, feed you, clothe you, teach you, then they drive you up the wall as you get older. Don't get me started on growing up with a woman like Quinn McKinley," she then smiled lightly. "I'm just excited to become a mother myself... I never found the right guy and people assumed I'd be into Cosmo since incest runs in our family..."
"I heard a rumor that Riff Raff and Magenta's parents were distant cousins."
"I can't really tell you if that's true or not... I never really knew them myself, Cosmo and I didn't know about the Vitus's until we were in junior high and we found out that we were cousins. You got cousins, don't you, Frankie?"
Frank made a disgusted look on his face as she said that. Not the pet name, he loved it when people called him that, but just the question about cousins. "You don't know about DeLordy?"
"Oh, DeLordy is your cousin?" Nation sounded familiar now.
"Well, he's my first cousin once-removed... He was popular before I was born and tried to take the throne since, well, I hadn't been born yet, but once my mother gave birth to me, she decided her eldest child gets the throne and she wanted me to follow her example. She didn't know if she was going to have children or not so she almost gave it to DeLordy because back then, he was the only eligible person for the job."
"I don't really like DeLordy."
"I don't think anyone does, honestly... He has a sick, stalker crush on Magenta. That woman MAY frighten me, but I wouldn't let that bastard take her if she didn't want to."
Nation looked amused. "You're afraid of Magenta?"
Frank's eyes widened, then he glanced at her. "Shut. Up..." he sounded childish now.
Nation laughed a little and smiled once LP came in with her new backpack. "Well, don't we look ready for school?"
"I'm a little nervous..." LP sighed, shakily, but had a smile on her face. "Can Miracle come over later and help me with this school thing?"
"Of course, dear, it's alright to be nervous on your first day, but you'll learn you'll overcome it once you get settled."
"Thanks, Nation..."
"If a boy hurts you, let me know." Frank said, cautiously.
LP sighed again. "Yes, Daddy... I'm gonna tell Miracle she can come over, okay?"
"Okay, hon, have fun." Nation smiled.
LP bobbed her head and dashed back to her bedroom. She had been organizing her bag and had told Miracle about her going into school on one of the monitors Frank back with him when they both officially moved into the TV Station and gave the Vitus family the castle in return. Riff and Magenta made frequent trips to Transsexual for Miracle so she could get adjusted and know where she really came from due to being raised on Earth nearly her whole life. LP told Miracle everything, but she spoke so fast and high like how Columbia would get side-tracked in conversations, however, Miracle was able to understand anything LP was saying.
"Sounds great, Lil," Miracle smiled. "School vas rough for me, but I'm sure you vill have a good time."
"Thanks, Mir," LP smiled back, then showed her backpack. "Laura picked this out."
"Aww, how cute, it's blue, you like blue, right?" Miracle smiled.
"Uh-huh!" LP nodded, hugging the backpack. "Mir, will you be in school with me?"
Miracle pulled a face, deep in thought. "I should be... I'll ask Mom and Dad vhen I get the chance. Oh, by the vay, vhen are you gonna be on Dentonvale?" she laughed a bit.
LP laughed too, pulling an amused face. "I should be on when Cosmo and Nation do a back to school show. I'll say hi to you and Riff Raff and Magenta!"
"Ve vould appreciate that, little vun."
"Stop callin' me little..." LP pretended to pout. "I'm only two years younger than yooou!"
"Little is in your name, Little Precious." Miracle gave a teasing grin.
"Oh, how are the babies doing?"
"They seem to be fine so far, I'll be staying over vunce the tvins start to need doctor support."
"Do you know if they're boys or girls yet?"
"Not yet... They haven't told me."
"Huh?"
"Oh, I should explain," Miracle cleared her throat. "LP, I have this special sense, a lot of Transylvanians have their own, usually they can sense their children before they're born, some can have flash forwards, and basically anything that separates us from the human race. Anyvay, my sense is that I can sense my unborn children and tell them to settle down, kick, or let me know if they are boys or girls. For example, if I told them to kick lightly if one was a boy, they vould do so. Vhen I had cravings, I usually asked them vhat they vanted to eat, vun kick for salad or two kicks for chicken sandviches. It's a little hard to explain to a child, no offense."
"None taken." LP smiled a little.
"Also, my parents, Cosmo and I suggested something for you, it's okay if you don't vant to do it, but..." Miracle bit her lip, looking into LP's eyes. "Little Precious, if something vere to happen to me and Cosmo, ve vould like YOU to become their godmother."
"You mean it, Mir?"
"Of course, I do, I may have known you shorter than I've known anyvun else in Denton, but you are my one and only best friend... Next to Cosmo, of course."
LP sniffled, smiling. "Oh, thank you, Miracle! Are you sure you can come to school with your babies, Mir, though? Won't you get in trouble?"
"I shouldn't," Miracle replied. "You can't see the bump yet, but vhen it's about time for the tvins to be born, I'll have to leave school a vhile. Hopefully it'll be during vinter holiday."
"Winter's the season with the snow, right?"
"Yes, you'll love vinter, LP, it'll make you feel like you're back on Transsexual."
"What is snow, anyway?"
"Frozen rain, it comes down like a vhite, fluffy flake, you can catch them on your tongue."
LP smiled, feeling intrigued.
"I better get going, Dad vants to make a nursery for the tvins for vhen I visit them after I marry Cosmo."
"Okay, bye Miracle, good to hear from you."
"Same here, talk you later, sleep sveet."
"Sleep sweet?" LP couldn't help but laugh.
Miracle tried to think of the right way to say that phrase, then rolled her eyes playfully. "You know vhat I mean! Bye, honey."
"Bye!" LP waved, then waited for Miracle to reach over and turn off the monitor. LP then went back to packing and made sure she had everything on Nation's list and seemed excited now about starting public school, and not just any public school, a public school on Earth.
The rest of the week flew by and Frank was taking Miracle and LP to school. He drove over to Denton Middle School in his old pickup truck. He gave a close eye on the students and made sure there weren't any dangerous boys to take advantage of LP. He was slowly getting to be a better parent, mostly with Nation's teachings as she had always wanted to be a mother and even talked with Frank about having a child of their own sometime besides LP who is Frank's daughter and only Nation's step-daughter. Frank pulled to a stop and smiled.
"Alright girls, have a good day!" Frank called to them.
LP and Miracle unbuckled their seat-belts and left the truck. They waved to Frank as he waved back and drove back to the TV Station.
"Bye, Daddy!" LP called. She then instantly frowned. "Miracle, why couldn't Daddy come in with us?"
"Parents don't come to school unless somevun calls them or there's a conference." Miracle explained. "Don't worry, ve'll go back home..." she offered a warm smile to the younger girl.
"Oh."
"Don't vorry, ve'll be fine. Come on, let's get you inside, your Daddy and Nation already have you registered."
LP and Miracle went inside the school. LP looked all around to see many students that were children like her, but very different. They all were many different shapes and sizes, she had never met another young human in person other than David and those three girls who made fun of her and Miracle when they were on their way to the TV Station for the first time. Miracle had to be held back a little so she would be in the same grade as LP so they could spend time together easier and LP could get to know the school better. Miracle came inside their first class together, Science.
"I think I'll be good in this one, Miracle, Daddy's a scientist after all." LP spoke up.
"Yeah, your dad's great, I can't believe he vas able to reanimate a corpse to make Rock-erm,... Ricky..." Miracle replied.
When Frank, Columbia, and Rocky were brought back to life by Riff Raff after the infamous 'Denton Affair', Frank woke up with his memories but Rocky and Columbia didn't since they were hit by the Medusa ray and their brains were altered and were shot dead and woke up differently. Columbia's hair went back to its natural hair color as brown and she woke up as the woman she was before, Laura Ansalong. Also Rocky didn't have much of a life before since he was dead and reanimated and restarted his life and after he died again, Laura named him Ricky, and is now Rest Home Ricky.
"Actually, YOUR dad recreated Rocky, MY Daddy just took all the credit... I'm sorry, Miracle."
"It's okay, you're still my best friend, and ve're all moving on. You now have a proper father and a new mother."
"Yeah, I guess..."
"Come on, Lil, ve better hurry inside, ve don't vant to be late to class on the first day."
LP nodded and went inside with Miracle. The classroom looked how LP had imagined, it was cool inside, as it was still a bit warm outside as summer was finishing up. There were tables and stools for everyone to sit with a big desk in the front of the classroom. The master of the classroom must have sat there, otherwise it would be unfair if a student were able to sit in the bigger desk. There was a clock on the wall and boards on the other sides. There were a few other students in the classroom already. LP had recognized Sapphire Hapschatt and tried to avoid time with her, as did Miracle, who had tried befriending Sapphire at first due to Brad and Janet being friends with Betty and Ralph.
"You can sit vith me, Lil." Miracle whispered.
LP smiled brightly and went to a back table with Miracle and set her bag down. She then took out her notebook and a pencil, and put her hands on her desk, ready to learn among other students. "So, where is the master of this class?" LP asked.
"Probably in the teacher's lounge and he or she is called a teacher, not a master," Miracle explained. "You vill call the man Mister and the voman Miss, Misses, or Ms. depending on if she is married or not."
"And you call an adult male Mister regardless of being married or not?" LP asked.
"Correct."
"Okay, I hope this goes well."
"It should." Miracle patted her shoulder.
Sapphire was checking her make-up before class started and a few more students came in. David had come and LP smiled once she had seen him and he sat in the table in front of the girls.
"Hey, Precious." David smiled.
"Hi, David, Daddy and Nation enrolled me in a public school so I can learn with you and Miracle!" LP beamed.
"I see that, school will be a lot more interesting with you here." David was really happy to see the girl he had considered as his suitable soul mate. LP felt the same about him, though, David does not know that she and the others are aliens, she wants to wait to see if they are soul mates and will ask someone about the Transylvanian sign to make it so.
The door opened as there was a key jiggling on the other side. LP and Miracle turned their heads to get a glimpse of their new teacher and they looked in shock.
"Hello, students, my name is Brad Majors and I'll be your science teacher this year."
A/N: Oooh suspense! :D so, how was that? Kind reviews are appreciated :)
