Author Note: You didn't think I'd forgotten about the Time Warp did ya? If you haven't seen the movie I, HIGHLY, recommend looking up this up first before reading, because I shortened it.
"Why is everyone stomping their foot? It seems like they are keeping time to song" Carmen thought, standing next to an equally confused Brad and Janet.
A distinguished gentleman comes out from behind a curtain. He turns on a gramophone that is sitting in the middle of a stage. The elevator reaches the floor and out walks the butler and maid. They walk over to where the Brad, Janet and Carmen are standing.
"It's astounding, (stops in front of Brad), Time is fleeting (stops in front of Janet), Madness takes its toll (stops in front of Carmen), but listen closely"
"Not for very much longer" interrupts the maid and rests her head on his hunchback. He moves and she stumbles forward.
The butler the stands in front of all three of them "I've got to keep control. I REMEMBER doing the TIME WARP… Drinking those moments when… the blackness will hit me and the void will be caaallliiiinnnngg!" They join the rest of the guests who are standing in rows.
"LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN…LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!" They do 180 degree jumps with their hands on their hips and wave their hands.
Brad, Janet and Carmen look at each other and then at them with their mouths open.
The gentleman shouts "It's just a jump to the left." He and the guests do the same.
They sing and do "And then a step to the rrriiiiggghhttt".
"Put your hands on your hips" he says and the guests do the same then sing "You bring your knees in ttiiigggghttt. It's the pelvic thrust that really drives you inssAAaannee" they turn their hips in a circle.
The maid and butler walk over to where Brad, Janet and Carmen and grab them by the arms and swing them towards everyone else. They copy the guests' motions and quietly sing "LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN…LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!" They sing the chorus again and fall down, as the music winds down.
Carmen, Brand and Janet are the only ones standing. Everyone is breathing heavily, like the entire room was in a group orgy. Then the elevator starts to come down. Carmen can see someone standing in it wearing a black cape.
"Oh my…can this get any weirder?" she thinks watching the descending elevator come to a halt.
Everyone else gets up and dusts themselves off. The lift door opens and out walks a man. He throws off his cape to reveal him wearing women's lingerie. Sure Carmen has had her suspicions about some of her henchmen but this was just too much. She looks over at Brad and Janet who are staring at him like the notion of this fetishism has never entered their minds. He walks over to where they are standing. All three of them stand just a little bit straighter. He approaches Brad first.
"Hi my name is Brad Majors and this is my fiancée Janet Weiss" Brad pulls her closer to him.
"How do you do?" she says sweetly.
"Charmed, I'm Dr. Frank-N-Furter" he says and shakes Brad's hand. Brad clasps his hand with such force that it causes the Dr. to step back.
"How forceful you are Brad" he says and walks over to Carmen.
"Hello I'm.." Carmen began to say but was interrupted.
"No need for an introduction. I KNOW who you are" He turns around to speak to his guests "Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce to you the world famous and most beautiful (he looks her up and down) Carmen Sandiego" they gasp, except Brand and Janet who didn't seem to know who she was.
He leans in; brushes back her hair and whispers in her ear "I've always fantasized about drinking Champagne out of your stilettos with you."
His breath was warm and tickled the inside of her ear. Carmen wanted to shiver from the sensation but maintained her composure. She just looked at him and smiled.
"I'm sure it would be a ...pleasurable experience" she whispered back and as the last word left her lips she couldn't believe what she just said.
"Indeed" he said softly and walked to the stage.
Brad tried to grab his attention to ask about using the phone but the Dr. was already on stage. Everyone followed.
"As you all know tonight is a special night for me. I am unveiling my masterpiece" the guests clapped, Brad, Janet and Carmen did the same. "Come let us adjourn in the laboratory" he said, walked off stage and got into the elevator.
Janet, Brad and Carmen followed everyone out of the room and up the wooden stairs.
"I had no idea you were famous. Are you a public figure?" asked Janet.
"You can say that" said Carmen.
Everyone assembled in the lab, which was a gigantic room that had scientific looking machines all over the place. They were blinking multiple colors, as if they were working on a tough calculation. A gigantic tub was in the middle. It looked like there was something inside. The guests gathered around.
"This place puts Sara's lab to shame" thought Carmen taking a place next to a female guest who looked at her and winked. Carmen just smiled and averted her eyes.
The Dr. stood next to the tub "I have made a scientific breakthrough (everyone claps) I have created a man who is physically perfect in every way. In fact, he carries the Charles Atlas seal of approval (more applause).
"Magenta (the maid comes forth), Columbia (a girl with very short red hair and tattooed eyebrows appears) go and assist RiffRaff (the butler was standing next to a large valve)".
"Ok, now things are getting really weird. I need to find a way out of here" Carmen thought then looked over at Brad and Janet who seemed to be entranced by what was going on.
RiffRaff spun the valve which lowered a huge Tesla coil. It looked like it could conduct high amounts of electricity. Magenta pulled a switch down and lightning shocked from the rod into the tub. Everyone gasped and clapped. Whatever was in the tub began to move. It slowly stood up and stepped out. Columbia took a pair of scissors and cut off the bandages that wrapped around its entire body. When all of the bandages were off a young blonde muscular man was standing. He had a dumb expression on his face. Everyone cheered and clapped. Dr. Frank-N-Furter did a curtsy and kissed his new creation on the cheek.
Carmen couldn't believe what she just saw. There was a live man that was brought to life right before her eyes. He didn't look any different than any other human. And now he was doing pushups in front of them.
"There isn't an inch of fat on him" Carmen thought studying every inch of his tight body.
Brad was amazed and started to feel a bit insecure about himself. He looked down at his fiancée who was wide-eyed and licked her lips. This confirmed his insecurities.
"Thank you all for coming to witness the unveiling of my fabulous creation. Now if you excuse me I must…work out all the kinks" the Dr. said and wrinkled his nose. The guests laughed and clapped.
Then the Dr. and his manly creation walked behind a curtain. The guests threw rice at them, as if they had just gotten married. Then the nearby walls slid shut. The guests began to disassemble and walked downstairs to leave.
Brad, Janet and Carmen found the butler and asked if they could use the phone. He told them that it was raining too hard right and the lightning split a telephone line in two, but their cars were towed into the driveway and it would be best if they spent the night. The maid appeared and threw pajamas at them.
"I wiiill shooww you to your rooms" the butler said slowly. He turned around and began to walk down the stairs.
Carmen, Brad and Janet looked at each other then followed the butler.
"Excuse me (the butler stopped walking and turned around) Do you think that one of the guests can give me a ride into town? They can just drop me off. That's all I need" said Carmen. She was desperate to get out of this weird house, but was mostly afraid of what she might do if she stayed.
"I'm soorry. The guests have already left and we don't have a car. But don't worry. I am sure the rain will let up and you can leave in the morning" he said.
He showed them their rooms. They rooms were nicely furnished, a plush bed and a fire in the fireplace.
"It seems clean enough" said Carmen and walked over to the window. She could see her car and another car in the driveway. They were the only ones there. She was getting tired and it was pretty late. She looked around for a clock but didn't see one.
"It must be around 2 a.m." she said.
The pajamas were new and fit her perfectly, like they made just for her. She went into the bathroom and saw new toiletries that had "Our special guest" written on them. When she was done she turned off the room lights and got into the warm plush bed. She watched the fire flicker for a couple of minutes then fell asleep.
