A/N: so I know the diary entry given was a year apart from the one before it but the way I have it is that we don't get to see every single entry (that would take way too long) so we will only get to see the important ones, the ones that have something big to do with the story. With that cleared up let's move on shall we?

*Chapter 4*

Gemma came home from school and dropped her school bag on the floor by the door, kicked off her shoes, walked over to the couch and flopped down covering her face with her arms. It was report card day at school and even if she was never top of her class her aunt would kill her for her F in science, even if it was only one class Laura never badgered her unless her grades slipped below a C. Removing her arms she sighed and looked at the ceiling letting her mind wander over possible things she could say 'accidentally' happened to her report card.

Groaning she rolled over onto her stomach propping her chin on the arm of the couch knowing it would only be worse if she lied. Looking at the table in front of her she was a little surprised to see the diary sitting there, sitting up she lifted the book and looked at it, she could have sworn she'd left it in the kitchen before leaving for school. She shrugged laying back down and opening it to the entry after the one she'd finished the morning before and began to read.

August 8, 1974.

Today was my first day out of the castle in what felt like months, I never get to leave the grounds unless it's to go into town with Riff and Magenta for some "human things" as Magenta calls them, it's not my fault I'm the only woman in the castle that gets periods once a month. This time I was able to go of my own choice because Frank had cast me aside for the day and locked himself and Riff in the lab to work on some kind of project leaving just me and Magenta to go into town for food and necessities.

I gave Magenta one of my old outfits so she didn't look so out of place, in all honesty she looked really good in a close fitting Rolling Stones t-shirt, a black pleated mini skirt, black tights and her own boots. She'd managed to tame to hair just a little so it wasn't overly frizzy, she told me I looked weird wearing a Pink Floyd tank top, blue jean shorts that were just a little too short, and a borrowed pair of heels.

The drive into town was a little rough, I had only ever drove a few times in my life and Magenta had never drove so I had to. Once we made it to town I parked the truck outside the store and followed her in, we got all kinds of weird looks and a few evil eyes from mothers with young children but we ignored them and did our shopping, I had to explain a few things to Magenta and show her how to pay, Riff was normally the one that dealt with that so I made the excuse she was from Europe and wasn't used to American currency though I think the pimple faced clerk was to busy staining at us to notice I short changed him by about a $1.50.

After the store I began contemplating getting something to eat, surprisingly Magenta agreed when I suggested pizza. I led her to the Pizza Shack smiling as we found it empty apart from the few workers, Magenta just looked around a little disgusted I'm assuming it was because she wasn't used to places outside the castle. Leaving her to wait went up to the counter and leaned my arm in its top waiting for the guy to finish talking to the guys in the kitchen.

As I waited I took in his appearance, he wasn't the slimmest guy in the world but he wasn't huge either, his black hair was wrangled into a wanna be Elvis style, he had a well worn t-shirt on and some tattered blue jeans with cowboy boots. One of the guys in the kitchen must have seen me waiting because he nudged the blonde guy beside him and pointed making the one behind the counter finally turn around. The second his blue eyes met mine I felt my heart stop mid beat before it began to race franticly as my cheeks became warm, he opened his mouth to say something as his eyes looked me over before he finally forced himself to speak.

"Somethin' I can help ya with babe?"

I giggled a little before tearing my eyes away from his to the menu.

"Two large pizzas, one pepperoni with extra sauce and cheese then uhh Genta what do guys want?"

I looked over my shoulder to find Magenta standing by the jukebox before she looked at me and came to my side.

"It all sounds disgusting and messy."

She wrinkled her nose making me sigh and shake my head.

"Just cheese on the other one."

The Elvis wannabe quickly scribbled down the order and handed it back to the guys in the kitchen.

"Oh and make it a delivery order."

At that he blinked a little surprised but then smiled a crooked charming smile and leaned on the counter.

"Sure thing toots where to?"

I gave him my best smile and giggled as a slight flush rose in his cheeks.

"You know that road that goes off into the woods outside of town?"

He nodded.

"Yeah my uncle lives out that way."

I felt a little worried and glancing at Magenta out of the corner of my eye I could she her stiffen a little, we didn't know there was anyone else living as far out as the castle was. I quickly recovered looking at the boy through my eyelashes.

"We live down that road in the castle down the right fork."

He nodded and slid me a slip of paper as he turned to get the pizzas, to my surprise it wasn't directions to check but rather his name, Eddie, and a phone number. I smiled proudly to myself tucking the paper in my pocket before standing and walking to the door.

"Hold on a second toots."

I paused looking back, letting Magenta walk out the door, to find Eddie watching me.

"What's your name so I know I've got the right place?"

I began to say my given name but remembered that I wasn't the only one in the house and only Frank knew my real name so if Riff or Magenta answered the door they wouldn't know what to do and if Frank answered then I'd be in huge trouble.

"Columbia, see you soon."

I smirked and blew him a kiss with a wink before skipping out the door to the truck and getting in. Magenta was waiting with her arms crossed and a stern look on her face.

"What? Did I do something?"

She gave me a look that made a shiver run down my back.

"Flirting with that disgusting human boy when you know how jealous the master is, if he were to find out that boy would be disposed of in the spot."

With her words I felt worry bubble into my chest before I remembered something.

"Kinda like how you and Riff would be punished if he found out about you both?"

I felt horrible for blackmailing her and even worse for threatening that I would tell Frank even if it was empty and hollow. Magenta gave a low growl and looked away from me staying silent for a majority of the ride back to the castle until we started down the gravel road.

"You wouldn't really tell the master would you?"

I sighed glancing at her.

"Of course I wouldn't not when it would make you even more unhappy."

She was quite a while longer before she looked at me.

"I won't tell him about this human boy but don't expect me to help you sneak out to see him."

I smiled parking the truck.

"Thanks Genta."

She just nodded once and that was the last we spoke of the topic as we got out of the truck and carried the groceries into the kitchen. After a while I was following practicing my tapping in the entrance hall, Magenta was mopping in the ballroom and kicked me out for leaving scuff marks, when I heard the loud engine of a motorcycle outside, curious about the sound I opened the door and smiled seeing Eddie coming towards the door, he smiled seeing me making my heart skip a beat.

"So I did get the right place, is it just you and that weird chick here?"

I shook my head stepping out of the door and onto the front step.

"No it's me and her, her brother and their...boss Frank."

Eddie's face fell slightly as he handed me the pizza boxes making me bite my lip.

"But I'm all alone here, it gets kinda boring with no one to play with."

I looked at him through my lashes again and smiled to myself seeing the flush in his cheeks again.

"Want to come in for a bite?"

He seemed to think it over for a second before swallowing thickly like he really didn't want to say what he was about to.

"I can't I gotta get back to work."

I poured looking at him disappointedly.

"Really? You can't even stay just for a little while?"

That seemed to soften him up but just as he was about to agree his eyes went wide and he took a step back. I was about to ask him what was wrong when I felt a familiar hand on my shoulder and smelt that familiar sickly sweet incense perfume, Frank.

"Yes why don't you come in for a spell."

I was pulled back into the castle by my shoulder and Eddie followed like a moth following a candle but once we were inside Frank went to him and gave him a charming smile offering his hand.

"I'm Doctor Frank N. Furter, who might you be?"

Eddie shook his hand still unable to remove his eyes from Frank.

"Eddie."

Frank smiled wickedly and trailed his eyes over Eddie draping his arm over his shoulders as he led him away.

"Tell me Eddie, do you have any tattoos?"

Before I could hear an answer they disappeared up the lift, I felt my temper burn and my cheeks turn red as tears slid down them. I shrieked angrily and threw down the pizza boxes brides stomping off to the ballroom locking myself in and turning up the jukebox music as loud as it would go. The worst part about this jealousy fit was that it wasn't even about Frank taking Eddie but just the opposite, I was nearly positive I'd made myself a permanent spot in Frank's bed but seeing how easily he'd dropped me made my temper rise to new heights.

October 3, 1974.

Three months, three long months and Frank has gotten bored with both Eddie and I and cast is both to the side. Over those three months I'd managed to quell myself of the ridiculous jealousy and get closer to Eddie, Frank doesn't seem to mind his toys playing together when we aren't being used by him so I began to find myself falling all the harder for Eddie over those three months.

Gemma looked at the end of the October entry a little confused, it was short and had no real relation to the entry after it. She didn't get long to think on it though as the door opened and there was a half squeaked yelp making her look up in time to see her aunt catch her balance before putting her hands on her hips leering down at the back pack on the floor.

"Gemma how many times do I have to tell you to not drop your school back in the middle of the floor?"

Gemma set the diary down and got up going to her aunt and picked up the backpack setting it back down out of the way making Laura smile.

"Thank you sweetie, have you eaten yet?"

Gemma shook her head following her aunt to the kitchen and sitting at the counter watching as Laura moved around the kitchen putting together two bowls of mixed fruit.

"I got a call from your teacher today."

Gemma went ridged.

"O-oh? What about?"

Laura looked at her and sighed.

"An F in science Gemma? I thought you loved that class."

Gemma looked down at the counter shrugging.

"I do but I just don't understand everything in this unit."

Laura set Gemma's bowl in front of her and gently tipped her chin up.

"Promise me you'll try harder and get that grade up to at least passing?"

Gemma was a little surprised, normally she'd get a long lecture about her bad grades but managed a nod earning a smile.

"There's my girl, now then I brought you something home, something you've been pestering me for since you were 5."

Gemma perked up smiling.

"A dog?!"

Laura laughed shaking her head pointing to the door that led to the back yard.

"Not quite, go and see."

Before the words were fully out Gemma was outside on the back deck where she found a cardboard box waiting. Kneeling down beside it she carefully lifted out the little fuzzy German Shepherd puppy smiling.

"Nation's dog's puppies were finally ready to leave their mother and she had that little girl saved just for you, told me that if I wouldn't get you a dog then she'd give you one, I wasn't going to argue with her I would have lost anyway."

Gemma smiled holding the pup close as she stood and went to her aunt hugging her.

"Thank you!"

Laura chuckled hugging her back and kissing her head.

"She's going to be your responsibility, you're going to have to feed her and walk her and teach her not to go to the bathroom in the house."

Gemma nodded setting the puppy down and sitting a little ways away.

"Keesa! Come here Keesa!"

The pup perked it's ears up and wagged it's tail hurrying over to Gemma barking happily as she jumped into the girl's lap. Laura smiled as Gemma laughed praising and petting the pup.

"Why did you chose that name?"

Gemma shrugged still smiling.

"I've always like the name Keesa, it's cute and she seems to like it."

Laura nodded crossing her arms and sighing when Keesa trotted over to her and began biting and tugging at her pant leg.

"She's going to need some work, aren't you?"

Laura leaned down and picked the pup up smiling as Keesa barked then licked her nose.

"Come on you two let's get inside it looks like it might rain."

Gemma looked at the graying sky before walking to her aunt, taking Keesa as she was handed to her then walked back into the kitchen. The rest of the night Gemma spent teaching Keesa how to go to the door when she needed to go out, thankfully Keesa seemed to be a quick learner. That night Keesa slept in bed with Gemma despite Laura's half hearted protests, which died away as soon as she watched Keesa curl up beside Gemma and fall asleep with Gemma not far behind.
