The Epilogue!
A/N This chapter (er, epilogue) is a bit longer than most. This is mostly due to the long author's note at the end =P

Sonny sat in front of the large fireplace, facing Janet, Riff Raff, Nation, Cosmo, and Ansalong. The five of them wore large badges, given to them by Sonny as a way of thanking them. They would be known as heroes all throughout Transylvanian history. They would become legends. Sonny smiled and turned, watching the snow fall lightly outside the window. It did not always snow, but it was possible any time of year, so Sonny was not surprised to see it.

A rather tall Transylvanian walked in. He bowed to Sonny, then said, "We sent two of our best soldiers to earth, just as you requested. They have returned with the device you wanted." Sonny grinned.

"Great! Bring it to me, okay?" he asked the Transylvanian. Cosmo and Nation exchanged glances.

"What device did you want?" asked Nation. Sonny grinned even wider.

"You'll see,"

A funny-looking man walked in with a dreadfully familiar, feather-shaped device. It was the brainwashing device… the exact one Farley had used to brainwash Nation and Ansalong. Janet gasped. "W- Why would you even want such a thing? Wouldn't it be best if you just left it on earth to rot? What good will ever come from that thing?" Sonny took the device from the man, who scurried away.

"That's exactly the point. No good will ever come from it. I'm going to destroy it." Sonny explained. Riff Raff, who knew a lot about these kind of devices, understood.

"It will reverse the effects…"

Sonny nodded and turned to Ansalong and Nation. "Once this is destroyed, the effects of the brainwashing will go away. You won't randomly act insane anymore, you won't start talking about DTV and be unable to stop… you'll be cured. You'll be able to live a normal life again." Ansalong swallowed and moved a little closer to Riff Raff. Janet watched curiously.

"Oh, yeah… a normal life…" muttered Ansalong, forcing a smile. Nation, however, had a true look of relief on her face.

"Destroy that thing as fast as possible!" she encouraged. Sonny nodded.

"With pleasure," he replied. With these words, he tossed the device into the fireplace in front of him. A loud cracking sound was heard, then the object melted and disappeared, gone forever. Nation and Ansalong exchanged glances again. Neither one of them felt different, but at the same time they had a strange feeling that something very good had just happened.

Sonny stared at the flames, a triumphant look on his face. He would never have to worry about any of this ever again.

After dinner, Nation announced that, although Transylvania was a very interesting place, she wanted to go home. Cosmo agreed with this statement. So, rolling his eyes, the kind lead the siblings to a very large, high-tech room. He told them to stand in the middle of the room. They did as he said, then he walked over to a large green switch. Pulling it, the two people immediately disappeared. Sonny smiled.

"Thanks," he said softly. He knew no one had heard him, and yet he still felt like saying it.

Ansalong was a much different story. She had been completely quiet all through dinner, and had not even said goodbye to the McKinleys. Everyone knew something was wrong, but they did not find out what it was until that night, right before Sonny was going to bed.

"I miss home," Ansalong finally stated as the four people sat in the large living room of the palace. Janet raised an eyebrow.

"Well you can go home whenever you want. I mean, the McKinleys left awhile ago. You could have gone with them." Janet told the woman. Ansalong shook her head and walked over to where Riff Raff was sitting on the couch. She sat beside him.

"But I don't want to leave all of this, either. I… I love…" She paused and looked at Riff Raff for a moment. Sonny bit his lip, hoping she would say what he knew she wanted to say. She finished her sentence quietly, blushing. "I love… this planet." Sonny sighed. Janet, however, was smiling. She stood up and began walking towards the hallway.

"Sonny, could you come with me, please?" she asked. Sonny shrugged and stood up, following her. She lead him to another room, where she spoke in a soft whisper. "Do you think we should give her that… thing you've been working on?" Sonny immediately grinned, but then looked suspicious.

"I don't know… it's still a work in progress…"

"C'mon. The only thing keeping Ansalong from leaving is that she loves Riff. If we give her the opportunity to come here whenever she wants, everything would go perfectly." Janet tried to persuade her son. Sonny nodded, knowing that she had a point. Finally, he sighed.

"Okay, I'll go get it. You go back and tell Ansalong."

Janet nodded and left the room. She walked back to the large living room. Ansalong was looking at her rather anxiously. This made Janet smile. "Sonny and Riff Raff have been developing a special type of teleportation. It's a small device that allows you to travel from earth to Transylvania whenever you want, wherever you want. They just finished designing it about a month ago. It's not perfect, but it's safe, and works pretty well…"

Ansalong and Riff Raff exchanged glances. Ansalong then turned back to Janet, grinning. "Really?" she asked. "You mean, I can come back here whenever I want?" Janet nodded. At that moment, Sonny walked in with a small square device. He handed it to Ansalong.

"See, that button takes you to earth. I adjusted it so it'll go straight to your house. You can adjust the settings to anywhere on the planet, though. And this switch takes you straight to my palace here on Transylvania." He explained. Ansalong nodded and stood up. Riff Raff stood up as well.

"I should probably get going, then." she stated, still examining the device. She turned to Janet and Sonny. "And I can come here whenever I want?"

Sonny grinned. "Are you kidding? You're a hero! Of course you can come whenever you want. The palace will always welcome you." he assured the woman. She smiled, then turned to Riff Raff, a look of uncertainty once again in her eyes. She looked at him for a long time, and he just stared back at her. Finally, he decided to speak.

"Ansalong, I-"

Riff Raff never got to finish what he was going to say. For at that moment, Ansalong had grabbed him and pulled him into a kiss. Riff gasped and obviously wanted to pull away, but found himself unable to do so. Ansalong, on the other hand, had no intentions of letting go of him for a very long time. Janet and Sonny exchanged glances, grinning. Both had known the second they had seen the two together that Ansalong had liked him. They had been waiting for this moment to finally come.

Ansalong wrapped her arms around Riff, pulling him closer. Riff Raff still was not sure what to do. He had not even kissed anyone in years, and this was so… sudden. As they kissed, Ansalong pressed a button on the device in her hands. She slowly began to literally dissolve, but never pulled away. It was not until she had completely disappeared that they stopped. Now, the only people in the room was Sonny, Janet, and Riff Raff.

Riff turned to Janet, smiling. "Thanks," he told her. Janet raised an eyebrow.

"For what?" she asked.

"For sending me to go find Ansalong." he replied. He then began to walk out of the room. "I'm going to go back to my house now. G'night." With these words, the alien was gone, leaving Sonny and Janet completely alone.

Sonny turned to his mother. He was the kind when he was in front of anyone in Transylvania, but when he was with Janet, he was nothing but her son. He grinned. "You know how I said I was upset because we wouldn't have any time to spend together?" Janet nodded. Sonny walked over to his mother. "I was wrong. This was, like, the most fun I've ever had." He hugged her, and she hugged him back. "I love you, Mom,"

Janet, who had never really heard her son say something like that before, could not help but smile. "I love you too, Sonny." She then looked at the time on the clock, and gasped, letting go of him. "It is waaaay too late for you to be awake! Go lie down right now!" she told him in a very motherly voice.

Sonny grinned as he walked away. "Yes, Mom." He sighed as he walked down the halls to his bedroom. Finally, FINALLY, everything was perfect.

A/N (kinda long, lol) IT'S DONE! I can't believe it, honestly. I just finished writing a story that I've been working on for about two months… now what do I do? Hmm… well PLEASE tell me what you think! Leave a review! And, if it's not too much to ask, could you kind of leave a review of the story in general, and not just the epilogue? I'd love to see what you thought of the WHOLE thing!

Riff Raff and Ansalong kissed! Accept… I can't write kissing scenes and what-not very well, so I'm sure how well that turned out. All I know is that I had the idea to write it that way, and I did. :)

Will I write a sequel? Probably not. I really like this story and plot. I'd hate to ruin it with a sequel… plus I'm not even sure I could come up with another decent plot =P

Will I write more Riffsalong? I'd love to! It depends on if I have the time, and if I can come up with a story that make this super rare/strange ship believable! XD

Oh, and if you want to write about this story, or Riffsalong, go right ahead! But if you write about THIS fic, PLEASE give me credit (actually, I'd prefer if you ask me), but I'll always allow you to. Richard O'Brien owns the characters, not me! And you can write about Riffsalong even if you don't ask me, because I don't think I own a ship. =P

Also, thank you to everyone who reviewed: Opheliafrump, Anne Oying, MagentaLover, FrankieFan82, TRIXIErhpslips (and anyone I might have forgotten), and everyone else who read my story! It means so much to me, and I probably would never have been able to finish this without you! :)

So I had Nation and Cosmo leave a bit earlier than the others, because they never really were main characters in the first place. IMO, the main characters of this story are Sonny, Janet, Riff Raff, and Ansalong (in that order, too). So… I just kind of let them leave xP

I'm not sure I have anything else to say. Um… if you read my story, please leave I review! I'd love to hear what you have to say! (but please don't flame. Seriously, I've worked hard on this, and flaming is just… unwanted)

So thanks for everything, and I hoped you enjoyed Insanity for Today!
