"New hires?" Columbia's shriek was heard from all over the house.

Magenta continued to comb her hair "Yes, a new handyman," she paused "who will only be handy for Frank in bed, a new groupie and ….. New doministic. "

Columbia had ignored every word but new and groupie. She quickly wacked her mouse ears off and jumped off of the bed. Twisting her pyjamas in her hand. "A new groupie!"

As Columbia placed her hand on the wall Magenta was sure she could hear soft whimpering.

"How could he replace me?" Columbia said softly.

Magenta slipped off the bed and slowly walked over. She placed her hands on Columbia's small shoulders.

"He's not, to say, replacing you, but getting more people"

Columbia balled her fists, and screeched to the heavens.

She turned and pointed a finger at Magenta, "the moment the moon comes up the little tramps and muscle men will be in bed, sweating all over him"

Magenta, whacking the finger away, smirked "Isn't that like the first day you came here?"

"Not exacually" Columbia looked away, her cheeks turning pink.

"I didn't sweat over anyone…. Besides when I slept with him i… I loved him"

"After one day?" Magenta questioned.

"I fell hard; he hit me like my shoes hit the floor"

"Or the way your voice hits my ears" Magenta interrupted.

"You know, behind those red stage curtains "Columbia paused "behind those red stage curtains, it isn't that great, life here is not what I thought it would be….. ,I miss the fun times I had with Frankie at the beginning." She paused once more, trying to find the right words. "I loved him okay; I loved him with all my heart"

Magenta rolled her eyes "the old behind those curtains, where have I heard that before"

She than chuckled as she lay back on the bed, her revealing night wear spreading out.

"And you still do, face it, whenever you're near him you act like you're a little girl with a school crush."

"So?"

"You're in love with a man, who wears high heels better then you do"

"And you're in love with your brother "Columbia pointed to a picture of Riff Raff that Magenta had hung on the wall.

Magenta, annoyed that Columbia would bring that up, leaned on one arm well biting her lip.

"A lot of people love there brothers and sisters, there family"

Columbia giggled a laugh of annoyance "Magenta, you know what I mean, you love Riff Raff like I love Frank"

"Why love someone who constantly sleeps with different people and will never tell you they love you."

Columbia grinned "he doesn't have to say he loves me, he just has to care, it's a lot like the relationship you and your "Riffy" have." She flipped her short orange hair in Magenta's face.

Trying to hold down her anger. Magenta leaped off the bed.

"It is NOTHING, nothing "

She shouted "like my relationship, I have loved Riffy for many years, since children we have had a stronger connection then most, you Columbia, have a relationship nothing like mine and my brothers."

Columbia, hearing the anger in Magenta's voice, decided to change the subject. "Why do you think I wasn't invited to that stupid meeting?"

Magenta understood how depressed her friend was, and quickly released her anger.

"Because, the meeting was based on me and Riff Raff sneaking off" Her hands were placed on Columbia, her voice more like a hiss.

"But I sneak off too!" Columbia shouted, "Which means…." Her voice saddened. "He doesn't pay attention to me, he doesn't care about me"

Magenta sighed and shook her head, she did not understand Columbia's obsession for the master. Although, she barley understood Columbia.

"Honey." Her voice was soothing. Acting more like a mother then a best friend. "If he did not like you, you would be out on the street."

Columbia broke into tears "No. I understand, he's going to throw me out any day now. I'll have no place to live, and no money. I can't live like that Magenta. I can't" She ended up screaming the last words.

Magenta blew a piece of hair out of her face, realizing what she said had made it worse.

"No, I don't mean that, you will never be out on the streets Columbia, I was just making a point, you probably weren't there because you barley do any work."

"I do too!" Columbia continued to shout.

She threw herself onto her bed, and began to cry into her hands.

Magenta, trying to be a friend, sat down beside her and put her arm around Columbia's neck. "Don't worry, everything will be fine, things will turn out just fine."

"You think so?" Columbia looked up into Magenta's eyes. Her face drenched in her own tears.

Magenta put her hand on Columbia's chin "Of course, now I think it's time you go to sleep"

Columbia bent over and grabbed her mouse ears from off the ground, placing it on her head, she smiled "Wow Mags, I'm shocked at how nice your being, when I first came it seemed like you hated me."

Magenta grinned "I did "

She watched as Columbia pulled the covers over her body and snuggled into her pillow. She closed her eyes and grew silent.

"Everything will be alright" Magenta switched off the light and slipped into her own bed. She had pulled off a smile for Columbia, but she knew, in her heart, that Columbia would become heart broken, and something disastrous was going to happen.
