Two weeks later they arrived back on Earth, in a different location.
"Vhere are ve?" Magenta asked as she and Columbia peered out the window, Riff Raff looking at the monitor.
Riff Raff was about to reply when Columbia squealed in excitement,
"We're in England!" she started to jump around joyously. "I've always wanted to go to England."
"Vhere is England?" Magenta asked.
"It' in Europe, near the top of the Earth," Columbia replied.
"Europe?" Magenta recognised the name, she remembered where from. "That's vhere you Transylvania is, isn't it?"
Columbia nodded slowly, "I think so."
Magenta and Columbia headed on their way out of the castle.
"Wait!" Riff Raff called. "We can't go out yet."
"Vhy not?" asked Magenta.
"Firstly, we can't come back to the castle, so we need to get everything that we will need. Secondly, someone from Transsexual might recognise us, we need to change our appearance, and our names."
Magenta and Columbia both pulled a face, but followed him over to the biggest bathroom in the castle. Riff Raff pulled out the contents of the drawers, covering most of the bench tops. The threesome stared down at the scissors and razors, shavers, dyes, make up and curlers that were now in front of them.
"Who'll go first?" Columbia asked.
Riff Raff stepped forward, "I will, it's not such a big thing for me to change my hair as it will be for you too."
Riff Raff picked up a razor.
Magenta gave a strangled gasp, "Riff!"
Riff Raff ran the razor along his head, removing all his hair. Once his head was completely free he shoved a pair of glasses onto his face and turned to face the girls. Magenta hugged him.
"You hair," she moaned. "Couldn't you have just dyed it?"
Riff Raff laughed, "I didn't know you liked it so much."
"I love everything about you, brother," Magenta replied.
"Who's turn now?" Columbia asked.
Riff Raff shook his head, "I'm leaving now, you girls work it out."
"You go next," Magenta told the girl. "It's not like you can exactly cut your hair, unless you want to give yourself a Riff Raff look."
Columbia giggled at that idea, "Okay, should I dye it?"
Magenta shrugged, "I guess so."
Columbia stared at the numerous hair dyes on the bench and plucked one up.
Magenta looked at the bottle, "Brown? Just brown?"
"My hair used to be this colour, I'll go back to it."
"I thought your hair was blonde," Magenta said, thinking back to when they had first found the girl.
"No," Columbia shook her head. "I dyed it blonde, it used to be brown."
Magenta shrugged, not really caring. She helped her friend with the hair dye. With a bit of bleach and a lot of dye it was soon a mousey blonde.
"Done," Magenta smiled at her friend, she looked so different now.
Columbia ran her fingers through her hair, "I'll start to grow it out."
"It'll look nice," Magenta told the girl.
Columbia leaned over the sink and started to scrub off her make up. Once it was gone she applied much lighter make up than she had had, mascara, eye shadow, and her favourite baby pink lipstick.
She looked up and smiled widely at Magenta, "What do you think?"
Magenta nodded her approval, "It suits you."
Columbia's smiled grew wider, if that was possible, "Your turn."
Magenta glanced into the mirror, at her long red curls, "Do I have too?"
Columbia nodded, "Sorry Mags, you have too."
Magenta moaned and reached for the scissors. Columbia took them off her.
"Let me."
Columbia cut Magenta's hair to shoulder length, after which she brushed it out. With the first thorough brush it had had for a long time, and less weight on it her curls became smoother, less frizzy. It made her look more her age. And far less scary than she had previously. Columbia brushed the hair upwards, and filled it with bobby pins, making all the curls go on the top of her head, a very business woman like look. She then redid the make up, eye shadow that matched the black dress she wore, red lipstick and a lot less mascara than had previously graced her face. There was enough eye liner on her face to accent her eyes, but not so much that it made her look evil.
"There," Columbia leaned back triumphantly.
Magenta opened her eyes and looked at her reflection. After several minutes of staring she smiled.
"Do you like it?" Columbia asked her friend.
Magenta nodded, slightly startled when her face was not filled with curls, as they all stayed neatly in place for once.
"Let's go show off for Riff Raff," Columbia pulled her friend out of the bathroom and back to the lab, where Riff Raff was putting a few things into a suitcase.
"Riff!" Columbia called.
He turned around to face them, and his mouth dropped open. He took in first Columbia, then stared at his sister. She looked like a completely different person. She smiled at him, and he finally saw his sister in this woman.
"Genta?"
She nodded.
"You look so beautiful."
She smiled again. Riff Raff walked over to her and started to kiss her. She gratefully returned his kisses. Columbia cleared her throat and tapped her foot impatiently. They looked up at her.
"Well, I don't know about you," she said. "But I thought you were on the run."
They smiled sheepishly at their friend.
"Right," Riff Raff nodded.
All three of them took a seat on the ramp, legs swinging over the edge.
"We need new names," Riff Raff told the girls. "Anything you like."
"I'd like to use my old name, if that's alright," said Columbia.
"Isn't Columbia your real name?" Magenta realised that she knew very little about the girl.
Columbia shook her head, "Before Frank found me I used to tap at bars and strip clubs, Columbia's my stage name. My real name is Laura."
Magenta smiled, "That's a lovely name."
"I will take the name Cosmo," said Riff Raff.
"Nation," Magenta added decisively. "Vhat about last names?"
"We will be Harding," Riff Raff told his sister. "Cosmo and Nation Harding."
"Vhat about Col- Laura?"
The girl though for a moment, "I'll just be Jones for now, it's kind of boring, but I can always change it later."
"Then ve are ready to go out?" Nation asked.
Cosmo nodded, "Gather what you need and we'll go."
They packed a suitcase each, filled with clothes, make up and some food that they thought would not go bad for a while. Cosmo packed a shoulder bag full of money that Frank had, as well as much of their old master's jewellery that they thought they could trade for something. With a final look at the castle they walked down the long road they were landed on, until they reached a busy main street.
"Vhere are ve going?" Nation asked.
Cosmo looked down the street and pointed at a real estate agents a few metres down the street. The girls followed him inside.
"Hello," an overly smiley woman greeted them. "My name is Hannah Smith, can I help you?"
"Yes," Cosmo walked over to her, and took a seat in front of her. "We're looking for a house, or an apartment, or somewhere to live."
Nation sat down silently next to Cosmo, Laura standing behind them.
"Well, I'm sure we can find a nice place for you and your wife and daughter to live," Smith smiled widely.
"Oh no," Cosmo shook his head. "She's not my wife."
"And she's not my daughter," Nation added.
"Oh, okay than," Smith said slowly, smile still plastered over her face. "Well, we can still help. What sort of price range are we looking at?"
Cosmo returned her smile, "Well, we have a lot of money, but I'm afraid we'll have to pay in cash."
"That's fine," Smith's smile faltered slightly, thinking about these people with there suitcases and cash, but didn't ask questions, a sale is a sale after all. "So would you prefer an apartment or a house?"
"A house would be better," Cosmo replied.
Smith held out several flyers, "This is what we have available at the moment, I assume you want to move in right away?"
"Yes," Cosmo held up the flyers so that Laura and Nation could see as well.
"I like that one," Laura pointed at a two storey house with a window in the attic, and a brick wall surrounding it.
Nation suppressed a laugh when Smith covered her ears at Laura's voice.
"What about you, Nation?" Cosmo asked.
She nodded, "I quite like it too, ve should take that one."
"Are you from Transylvania?" Smith couldn't help but ask.
Nation side glanced her brother, checking his approval before nodding.
"We would like this one," Cosmo handed the woman back the flyer of the house they wanted.
"That one's lovely, it comes fully furnished too," the real estate agent told them.
Smith filled in a few forms, collected the money and then passed the forms over, "You and your..."
"Sister," Cosmo offered.
"You and your sister will have to sign these," she told them.
Cosmo and Nation filled in the forms, signing them with false signatures.
Smith read them over, "Well, Cosmo and Nation Harding you now own this house."
She handed them the keys and the deed, eager to get them out of her office as soon as possible.
"Thank you," Cosmo smiled at her as he took the keys. "Where is it? Which way?"
Smith pointed them in the right direction and they left.
"I hope it's a really, really, nice house," Laura practically sung as she skipped along side the more sullen pair.
"It von't be any vorse than the castle," Nation told her.
Cosmo turned to her, "I hate to say this, sister, but do you think you could possibly disguise you accent. If people start to talk about the Transylvanians that have moved in then some of our Transylvanians might find us."
Nation bit her lip uncertainly, but replied, "I... will try." in a slightly posh sounding voice.
"Good," Cosmo smiled. "You sound lovely."
They arrived at the house half an hour later and Cosmo unlocked the gate, and then unlocked the door. They entered and dumped their stuff on the floor.
"So this is our home, for a while?" Nation asked.
Cosmo nodded, "Hopefully it'll be a long while before we have to move on."
A/N: If you review I'll let you... move into their new house with them :D
