Crystal, Richard, and Joey slept fondly in their respective guest rooms. However, Sara was tossing and turning in her own bed. She couldn't help but find herself thinking of Richard and how kind and sweet he was toward her.
He talked her out of suicide, he made her feel beautiful with her super intelligence which would probably make her top on a dean's list or a worldwide known valedictorian by the time she would be in her final year of high school. This boy was going to be gone by tomorrow morning, she couldn't let him leave. No, not like this, not in a time of very important need.
Sara decided to get out of her bed and thank Richard a little more. She has never felt this way about anyone before. No, scratch that, she has never felt this way at all. She even convinced herself it was illogical for her to fall in love at first sight, but it had happened. She felt like Dr. Emmett Brown in the newest Back to the Future movie when he rescued and saved Clara Clayton from an untimely death. Sara Majors had fallen in love.
Sara pulled back her covers and slid her glasses on as she gently got out of her room, wearing her pajamas, looking rather vulnerable. She decided to leave her room and properly thank Richard because he would probably be gone before she and Mark would be in school Monday morning.
She had to say goodbye to him before he would go off. Even if Miracle was like the sister that she and Mark had always wanted and that would technically make Richard her nephew, she actually didn't think of him like that. She felt like he was a soul mate for her. Sara always dreamt her soul mate would be a volunteer librarian or the apprentice of someone vastly intelligent, but no, he was an alien and his name was Richard McKinley.
Richard had just found the bathroom, washed his hands and it followed after a flush. Sara hid, leaning against the wall of the hallway he would take to go to his guest bedroom. Sara took a deep breath, shaking slightly, this was it. She felt like any other girl in school about to face their crush, attempting to not make a fool of herself. Maybe she should wait until later... No, she has to do this now. It's time to become a grown-up. No more hiding under the bed.
Richard hummed to himself as he slowly came down the hallways, walking past Sara, almost as if he didn't see her.
Sara swallowed as she watched him go back to the room he was staying in. "R-Richard!" she spoke up.
Richard kept walking, but stopped once he heard his name, then slowly turned to see the human girl he was bunking with. "Sara, what are you doing up so late? You have school in the morning."
Sara swallowed, putting her hands together, but did step forward. "I-I know... I just wanted to talk with you... Umm... Would you like to have some cocoa?"
"Cocoa?"
"You know... It's like chocolate you can drink..."
"Oh... That cocoa..." Richard chuckled sheepishly, then shrugged. "Um... Very well..."
Sara smiled sweetly back.
And with that, the two young teens sat at the dining table together, across from each other with their cups. They both took a sip and set their cups down to talk with each other.
"So, Sara, what would you like to talk about?" Richard asked before taking another sip.
Sara wiped her mouth, looking into his emerald green eyes. "Umm... Richard... Uhh... Have you ever been in love?"
"Love...?"
Sara nodded, nearly pouting.
"I... I can't say I have..." Richard shrugged as he looked to his drink. "I mean... I would like to be... It's a wonderful feeling based on what I've seen back home... Of course, especially after you preform elbow sex."
Sara nearly choked on her cocoa, clearing her throat. Hearing the word 'sex' made her feel funny.
"Are you alright, Sara?" Richard looked alarmed that she nearly choked herself.
Sara cleared her throat, trying to keep herself from suffocating. "Y-Yes... I just wasn't expecting to hear that word... Umm... What's elbow sex...?" she asked, never hearing the term, even when reproduction was discussed in her classes.
"It's a Transylvanian tradition," Richard explained. "It's when you extend your elbows with someone else, if you feel a spark, it's meant to be, if you don't, then it's not..."
Sara tried to think back. "Is that what Riff Raff and Magenta were doing with their elbows in the Rocky Horror movie?"
Richard was surprised Sara knew his grandparents did that to each other, but he remembered that they were all told that the events of the Denton Affair had been turned into a movie, and even after Janet became Miss Mental Health, oddly enough, no movie on Queen Lavender's revenge and Sonny taking the throne of Transsexual. "Erm... Yes, it is... They put that in the movie?"
"I never understood what that was when we saw it." Sara shrugged with a sheepish chuckle.
Richard chuckled a little himself. "Well... Yes, that's elbow sex... I'm not sure if it works the same as humans."
"Usually we kiss each other or go out on dates... Does it even work on humans?"
Richard gave a shrug. "I think I heard David say he had a spark when he and LP got together, but I'm not sure..."
Sara shrugged herself. "Would it hurt to try?"
"Sara... What are you saying?"
Sara pouted, she decided to give in and admit to him about her feelings for him. "Richard, I like you... You're so sweet and nice to me... No boy in school's treated me the way you have... You're so nice, and funny, and helpful... Plus... I really enjoy your company... I'm going to miss you a lot when you go back home... I just wished there was some way I could remember you by..."
Richard blushed, he had to admit that he was probably feeling the same way around Sara, maybe Joey and Crystal were right about him for a change. He then gave a thought and then finally spoke again so she wouldn't feel stupid for her admission for liking him. "Come to Transsexual with us."
"What?"
"Come to Transsexual with us," Richard repeated, taking her hands. "Forget about this Earth life... On Transsexual, no one is ever ashamed of who they are..."
"Richard, I can't leave Earth... Transsexual sounds nice and all, and this is my home... I couldn't leave my home... It's where my heart is."
Richard frowned, he was hoping she would agree, but he had to understand and he did. "I understand, Sara... I'll miss you very much too..." he then lifted her hands and kissed behind her knuckles, making her blush. "I'll miss you very much..."
Sara blinked, nearly crying, she took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. "I'll miss you too, Richard..." she whispered, looking as though she was seriously about to cry now. "Richard... Before I go back to bed... Teach me... How do you preform elbow sex?"
Richard blushed even more once she asked that. She might as well come out and say straight up 'Toucha Touch Me'. "Okay... Follow my lead..."
Sara nodded, then copied him the best she could. Richard helped her a little as he kept going with her. Suddenly, both Richard and Sara winced slightly as they both finished.
"Did you feel what I felt?" Richard asked.
"Feels like we got struck by lightning..." Sara murmured.
Richard was told there would be a spark of the true love if the elbow sex was finished. Could it had been true? Were they soul mates, despite her being an earth creature and he was an alien.
"Y-You better get to bed..." Richard said softly to the girl.
Sara looked to see it was going on 3:00 in the morning. "Right... G-Good night, Richard..." she nodded, then went to put their cocoa cups in the sink as they were finished, then hurried to get to bed.
"Good night, Sara..." Richard whispered before going back to bed himself.
The next morning, Brad and Janet were woken up by the alien kids as they decided to get going. Sara was the only one awake, Mark decided to get more sleep since he wouldn't have to wake up for another half hour or so for school.
"Thank you so much for your hospitality." Joey smiled to the Earth couple.
Brad and Janet shook flashbacks when Joey of all of them said that.
"You should come visit us sometime," Crystal suggested. "Mark can bring his Nintendo."
"I'm sure he'll want a rematch." Janet chuckled.
Richard walked up to the twin girl. "Well Sara, this is it..."
"Yeah..." Sara said softly, shuffling her feet. "I'll miss you very much..."
Richard hugged her very tight, patting her back. "I'll miss you too... I promise, we'll be together again sometime soon."
Sara sniffled in the hug, then let him go. "Take care of yourselves..."
"We will..." Joey promised before Richard came back to join him and Crystal to let the transit beam take them away.
"Goodbye, friends!" Brad waved with Janet and Sara.
"Bye-Bye, Braddy~..." Joey smirked before giving him a sly wink, proving she was indeed a daughter of Frank N. Furter.
Brad smiled, then looked curious before the three alien children were sent off. "Wait... Was that little girl hitting on me?"
"Oh, Brad, don't be such a worry wart..." Janet nearly scoffed as they all went inside.
Brad blinked, then shrugged it off and went inside with his family. Sara sighed softly, then absent-mindedly put a hand to her stomach, wondering when she would ever see Richard again.
The End?
