The castle touched down on their home planet and seconds later was surrounded by curious Transylvanians.
Magenta went to check on her beloved dogs before the siblings walked out of the castle and towards the Queen's palace. Both were nervous, would she believe them or not?
The Queen was waiting at the door.
"Riff Raff? Magenta? Why are you home? Where's my son?" She asked frantically.
"He asked us to return home, your highness. He said he wants to be more independent and learn to do things himself. The Prince will contact us in a few days and tell us of his progress. Everything was going fine when we left. I can assure you your majesty, everything is fine." Riff Raff reassured her.
"Well, it had better be. You know what will happen if I find you've lied to me." The Queen warned.
"We swear everything is fine ma'am." Magenta insisted.
"Ok...you may go to your chamber and rest. I expect you back at work tomorrow morning. You may go now." She dismissed them.
Later that night when they were sure everyone was asleep or engaged in activities, they returned to the castle.
"Columbia?" Magenta called.
"What do you want?" She answered back, coming down the stairs.
"You must come with us to our chamber. There is a bed ready for you. Now get your things and hurry." Riff Raff demanded.
Sulking, Columbia did as she was told and soon they were back at the palace.
"Why don't you go and have a shower and then I can dye your hair again if you want. You were moaning that your roots were showing." Magenta suggested to make her feel more at home.
"No. I've decided to let it grow out. I've been thinking about growing it really long." Columbia chuckled.
She had cheered up quite quickly when she saw the beauty of the planet.
"That will look great."
"Yes. I've been thinking about wearing less make-up too." Columbia nodded.
"Hmmm…I might try that. Are you going to start wearing sensible clothes now too?" Magenta giggled.
"Oh no. I've still got to look good." Columbia chortled.
The next morning, they had no sun but they still had time, Magenta woke up and felt the bed for Riff Raff. He wasn't there. Magenta's eyes snapped fully open and she sat up quickly. Slightly dizzy from sitting up like this, she looked around the room. Her brother had gone. It took her a few moments to remember where they were.
Sighing with relief, she got out of bed and walked over to the bathroom. He must have been called into work early and had gone without waking her. He was so considerate. She smiled as she thought this.
Just as she reached the bathroom door, it was pulled open from the other side. A girl stepped out.
