A/N Song of The Day: Magic Dance, David Bowie. (You remind me of the babe. What babe? The babe with the power. What power? The power of voodoo. Who do? You do! Do what? Remind me of the babe!)
I have to say a speech I wrote... In made of judges... I'm about to die. And I still don't have that twenty five dollars they promised... Sucks man. It sucks.
And when we got to the transducer on Transexual, I couldn't believe my eyes. I was in the castle, with my own welcoming party. An unnamed person, who I assumed was the king, because of his lightning tiara.
Riff and I bowed, the girls looked confused. The man laughed. "They are something, aren't they?" He looked at Riffy. "But how are you?"
"I'm a little nervous. But it's fine."
"Good." He clacked over here, and I noticed his heels and makeup. "And Magenta! How long has it been since I have seen you? Very enchanted." He kissed my hand. "And these two!" He crouched down, but looked up at me, who Ciffa had drifted behind. "Oh come on, I won't bite. They look exactly like you two." He got back up.
"I believe I don't have the pleasure of knowing your name."
"Yes, you do. Or you know my mother."
"You're Sonny?"
"Yes. Janet will be here any minute."
"I saw you the day after you were born, but I haven't had the pleasure of knowing you now."
"Well, as you can tell, I am the new king after Riff..."
"Okay. Next?"
"Well, I have been king for about a week now. He has been a general for abut seven years."
"That's nice. Where do you live, Riffy?"
"Here. I'm his caretaker."
"So where do me and the girls live?"
"I'm sure I could find a job here for you. And when the hit sixteen, if you both work here, I would be able to be their mentor."
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Where are our quarters?"
"Quarters?"
"Yes..." I looked at him like he had gone mad.
"You stay in a large room. Do you think I'm an evil son of a bitch?"
"If that bitch is Frank, yes." He smiled.
"Yes, I have heard so much about my father, nothing good."
"I hope no one amped him up. He was a bad person.
"I've heard."
"King Sonny, If you don't care, I'm sure she has a lot of catching up to do, why don't we show her to her room."
"Perfect."
He put his arm around my waist. "I'm thirty eight." I laughed, very amused. "You're seven."
"But I'm the king."
"I used to be the queen."
"Whatever." We all laughed, except Riffy.
As I walked into the room, both me and the girls gasped. "It's enormous As big as your Fathers suite was at the castle, Sonny!"
"Do you like it?"
"I love it!"
"Well, isn't that a relief. Riff here thought you wouldn't come."
"Really?" I looked at Riff, but soon turned back to Sonny. "Where do the twins stay?"
"Ahh, come. Just down this corridor."
He took us down the hall, with Ciffa behind Riffy, and Pat in front of me. You could tell that Riffy was happy to be part of the family again. We got to their room, and once again, they were amazed. But, the way Sonny was rolling his eyes, and after years of learning to control my emotions, I managed to act like it wasn't interesting. "Mum, can we decorate the rooms to?"
I looked at Sonny. "Sure! So, girls, is there anything you like? That stands out over the others?" He crouched down next to him, but he was still in heels.
"David Bowie. Mostly Ziggy Stardust era." That'a girl Pat. That'a girl.
"I like another musical person, but he is less widely known."
"Really? Who?"
"Someone named Sonny Ammbo." I put my head in my hands, smiling, trying to keep from laughing, but Sonny kept his cool.
"No, I've heard of him. He's pretty popular here too."
"Ciffa, you know who the person your talking to is, right?" Even Pat knew.
Later, Sonny, Riffy, Janet and I were on the beach, with Sonny on the royal deck chair. I had just walked in the room, after getting them to bed. "Oh, god. Sonny," he turned to look at me. "I had no idea she was going to say that." I went over and sat on Riffy's lap, and Sonny laughed.
"It's okay, really. It's nice to meet fans."
"I understand, but, and please don't take offence at this, but why are you giving us so much... Charity?"
"I'm afraid I don't follow you, darling."
"I'm saying, why do we have such big suites? Why are you so okay with my daughter being so obsessed with the rock star you?"
"Listen, Magenta, you were one of my mother's," he held Janet's hand, "only friends. You did take care of her, and, you did kill my father."
"How does that persuade you?"
"From what I have been told, he was an evil bitch. And, your daughter is kind of cute, how clueless she is."
"Yeah, Pacifica. Patricia, she is a little more-"
"Hostile." Riffy spoke up, and Sonny smiled.
"And that's another reason. I have yet to met a couple as perfect as you are."
"Well, I have known her since she was born." I laid my head back at this, and laughed.
"Yes, it has been a long time."
"Do you have friends here?"
"Yeah. They'll be to nervous to speak to you in the castle, though. I bet if you show up at their house, they'll speak."
"I doubt that. Nation will probably try to convince my baby to let Scarlet to be queen." Janet hugged Sonny.
"Hmm... You're probably right. Either that or kidnap him."
"No... That would be Nell. That crazy bitch. Even though I think she's pregnant, she's still a fucking nut."
"I know." It was mainly a conversation between Janet and I know, and it went on for hours, it was about three in the morning, but was night either way. Oh, how I missed it.
