I got woke up early that dreadful day. What had woken me up was the sound of my brother cursing at the toaster. The poor darling might be extremely intelligent but he is hopeless in the kitchen. I looked at the clock on my bedside table to see that it was five o'clock.
'Was my darling brother going to leave with saying goodbye?' I wondered. I had gotten use to thinking to him as my darling as it had gotten worse over the month we spent together but I still wasn't use to finding my brother attractive. The whole thing made me awkward towards him at times and I had a feeling he knew something was up. I entered the kitchen to see Riff Raff muttering something under his breath about
"Finding that damn hammer" and "Showing that toaster whose boss". When he found the hammer he made a relieved sound and started walking back towards the toaster.
"Vere you going to leave vith out saying good bye to me Riff Raff?" He quickly looked over and his angered face turned into a smile.
"No my d…" he stopped "little sister. I was merely letting you sleep in until the last minute." He said as he place the hammer on the table.
"Good, because if you didn't say goodbye I vould never talk to you again." I said smiling and slowly walking over to him.
"Oh I know you wouldn't," he said walking closer too "And trust me, I wouldn't risk something like that just to let you sleep." When we reached each other I had the biggest desire to kiss my brother on lips but I had to fight my urges. I thought I saw the same feeling in Riff Raff's eyes but I convinced myself that it was just me wishing that it was what he wanted too. I wanted him so badly I could barely stand it. 'Maybe this time apart will do me good.' I thought. I quickly changed my mind, as I knew it would tare me apart being away from my loving brother.
"So… Um… Vhat time to ve have to leave to get you to the space shuttle in time?" This was one of those awkward moments. I was looking away and he was playing with the hammer on the table.
"… Well, I suppose we better leave in… twenty minutes." Riff said as he looked at the clock.
"I better go vake Mum up then." I said as I walked towards Mums room.
"Oh Magenta." Riff called out.
"Yes?" I said as I turned around smiling at him.
"I… oh… nothing." He said rather sadly.
"Oh, okay." I said as I walked off. To this day I still don't know what my brother was going to say. I have a good idea of what it was though.
Random voice over: AT THE AIRPORT/SPACE SHUTTLE TYPE PLACE:
There we were. All three of us standing next to the space shuttle. All of us were shivering from the cold.
"I guess this is it." Riff Raff said sounding rather sad again. "Goodbye Mum."
"Aw Goodbye Riffy. I'm going to miss you so much!" Mum cried giving Riff Raff a bigger hug then when she found out about his scholarship. Riff Raff was smiling weakly. After Mum let go of him he looked down at me, still smiling weakly and said.
"Magenta…" Then I a started to cry and hugged him as hard as I could. For once in his life, Riff was hugging just as hard.
"I don't want you to go!" I cried.
"I don't want to go either but…" Riff said with a whimper in his voice, which caused me to look up. He had tears in his eyes, Riff Raff was crying. I couldn't remember the last time I saw him cry. I don't think he even cried when Dad left.
"But… I have to I… just have to." He said looking at me with the saddest look I have ever seen on his face.
"I know you do." I whimpered. He caught the tear going down my cheek and the dried his own eyes.
"Magenta, promise me you won't forget about your dear old brother while Im away." He said.
"I vont!" I cried. "Don't forget about me either!"
"I could never." Riff said with a smile returning slightly to his face. We did our little sign and hugged once more. Our little sign was starting become a problem too, it stirred something inside me that I loved yet hated at the same time. He then grabbed his suitcase and went started walking away. He turned around, smiled at mum and said to me,
"I love you Magenta, I really do."
"I love you too Riff Raff." Riff Raff smiled and then walked away towards the space shuttle.
I hugged mum as we watched the space-shuttle blast off into the skies.
"He's gone," I whispered "He's really gone."
"Home is just not going to be the same vithout him there." Mum said, stroking my hair.
"Do you think he'll miss us as much as ve'll miss him?" I asked, still looking at where we last saw the space shuttle.
"I think he'll miss us more." She said smiling at me. "Come on, let's go home. Ve can look at pictures from vhen you two were little."
"Okay." I said with a tear going down my face. We started walking away. I looked back at where all three of us, as a family once stood and whispered "I miss you already my dearest brother." Hoping somehow, he had heard it.
