Cosmo and Nation had just finished dinner themselves. Cosmo went out to shut down everything as it would be dark, but he heard faint struggling. "Do you hear that?" he whispered to his sister.
Nation listened too. "Yes," she said. She stood up. "Let's go and see." she explained calmly.
Cosmo grabbed his flashlight and walked with Nation to explore this situation. He was a little nervous, but he dared to not be afraid in front of his 'baby sister'. Nation followed the sound of the struggling.
Cosmo shined his light against the rustling bushes. "Well, come on out now!" he demanded sharply.
The sound sounded like unhappy whimpering behind the bushes and they kept shaking. Nation blinked and went to check out the bushes. She carefully pushed them aside. There was Rocky shown in the bushes and he was shivering coldly and looked up at Cosmo and Nation with tears in his eyes and he looked damaged a bit.
"Oh, my... He must've run away from home or something..." Cosmo nearly muttered.
Nation looked at Rocky. She took off her Doctor's coat and wrapped it around Rocky's shoulder. "Come inside, dear..." she soothed him.
Rocky grunted and shivered as he followed them inside.
"I haven't seen anyone like this before." Cosmo looked around to see if anyone else was there and closed the doors to follow Nation and Rocky.
Nation was firm but kind as she led Rocky to where she could help check him over. Rocky grunted, a bit lost and depressed.
"Do you speak English?" Cosmo asked.
Rocky grunted, but it wasn't clear whether it was a yes or no.
Nation looked at Cosmo. "Can you go and get the first aid box?" she asked her older brother.
Cosmo nodded and went to do just that. Rocky grunted, nearly crying and was close with Nation due to her motherly instinct.
Nation placed a gentle arm around him. "Don't worry, we're friends here..." she soothed him.
Rocky murmured and lay his head on her shoulder. Cosmo came back with the first aid kit and handed it to Nation.
Nation took the first aid kit. "Can you show me where you're hurt?" she asked the man gently.
Rocky pointed to his marks where he was hurt and showed dark circles under his eyes now and had some new cuts across his arm and cheek. Cosmo stood by for any assistance.
"Oh, you poor dear." Nation cooed, very motherly. She then started to clean and patch up his wounds.
Rocky whimpered, but settled down as Nation tended to his wounds. Nation was methodical and tender, but also clinical, but it was in a good mix. Rocky winced at points, but was glad he was being taken care of.
"I think he has worse memory loss than I theorize, he can't even speak... Perhaps he has mental slowness." Cosmo diagnosed.
Nation looked at Cosmo. "I'm not sure, but we have to take good care of him." she told her brother quietly.
Cosmo nodded in agreement. Rocky was a little frightened of the McKinley doctors at first because they reminded him of Riff Raff and Magenta back at the castle, but he saw they weren't dangerous and only wanted to help him, so he felt a little safe and warm with them.
Miracle showed Rocky to a room. "Don't worry, you'll be safe here." she told him.
Rocky felt a little safe and secure with Nation.
Nation smiled. "Cosmo and I are just down the hall if you want us." she told the man.
"Ugh..." Rocky grunted, but smiled at the kind doctor woman.
Nation smiled softly. "Go to sleep, dear." she said.
Cosmo smiled as well. Rocky moaned and then yawned. He had an exhausting day so far and went to an empty room to get some sleep. Nation made sure he was tucked in safely and smiled at Cosmo.
Cosmo put in that Rocky was staying with them, but looked back at Nation. "Did he give a name?"
"No, but the poor thing was tired, we'll try again tomorrow." she told her brother.
"I'll just call him Peter for now..." Cosmo remarked and wrote down a surrogate name.
Nation nodded. "Okay." she said.
"Probably in some sort of shock." Cosmo assumed.
Nation shrugged her shoulders. "Possibly." she said.
"We'll test him in the morning." Cosmo suggested, saying this before they would go to bed together. They weren't in love like their cousins and were forced to share a bed together because of how crowded the station was and Bert didn't like to share.
Nation nodded and then headed to bed. Rocky slept the way he did before with his arms crossed and he was comfy, even if he didn't look like he was.
LP shuffled in her sleep, continuing to cuddle the pillow and smiled as she hummed dreamily in her nap. Miracle was curled up under her covers and actually purring in her sleep.
LP shuffled a bit and flopped her head on her pillow staring at the ceiling. "I feel needy..."
Miracle woke up. "Huh?" she asked quietly.
LP blinked and looked at the older girl. "Ah, I'm sorry Miracle, didn't mean to wake ya... I had another dream... Only, it was set where I'm a grown-up."
Miracle looked at her slightly. "Really?" she asked with a small yawn.
LP nodded. "Go back to sleep, I won't tell you if you don't want me to."
Miracle rubbed her eyes. "No, tell me..." she said.
LP scooted close and looked at Miracle. "Well... I dreamed about this boy who really liked me, and I liked him too, gross... We were grown-ups and we were married... You were at the wedding too, you were old too, but you were so pretty..."
Miracle giggled and smiled.
"You were really pretty, Miracle... Just like your Mom," LP smiled at her best friend. "The only thing I wonder if who that boy was I married...?"
"I don't know." Miracle shrugged.
"It's funny, Miracle, I have these dreams about things that happen later... I wonder if I'm that person Aunty Columbia used to see... What was it? A psycho?" LP pondered about her ability with her subconscious.
Miracle giggled. "A psychic?" she clarified.
"Yeah, that!" LP beamed.
Miracle giggled "Awesome!"
"We should ask..." LP said, smiling a bit.
Noelle knocked behind the girls' room door.
"Come in!" Miracle called out.
Noelle came in with a smile. "Oh, you're awake, I just wanted to check on you two so you don't get into trouble."
"We're no trouble at all!" LP giggled.
Miracle smiled and hugged the woman.
Noelle smiled and patted the blonde girl.
"Aunt Noey, do you know any embarrassing stories about Daddy?" LP asked, giggling.
Miracle nodded and led the woman to sit down.
"Oh, gee, where do I begin?" Noelle pondered.
LP bit her lip, anxious to hear these stories that Frank wouldn't want anyone to know, but his little sister knew of. Miracle grinned, waiting.
"Well, there was this one time when your father really liked this girl who was training to become a General, but he had an accident in front of her." Noelle prompted.
"Tell us that one, please!" LP squealed.
Miracle nodded. "Yeah!" she said.
LP cuddled with her pillow, eager to hear this story.
"Well, okay," Noelle smiled and huddled closer to the girls. "There was this girl Gemini who didn't live too far away from the castle we grew up in... Frankie used to tease and pick on her all the time, we often saw her because her father is our mother's servant who carries her parasol when she would relax by the beach. Anyway, Gemini was always picked on by Frankie, he often liked to play tricks on her and treat her like another sister. One day, Gemini was hitting puberty which we all do eventually and before she was sent on a 10 year long mission, Frankie saw how pretty she became. He wanted to kiss her, but he was so nervous and scared that he wet his pants in front of her!"
Miracle covered her mouth and giggled. LP giggled too.
"We hadn't seen her in forever, but I know Gem was happy because she finally got Frankie to crack!" Noelle finished the story, laughing herself at her brother's embarrassment.
Miracle giggled still "Vhat else?" She asked.
Noelle hummed a bit, deep in thought. "Hmm... One time he embarrassed our father by dancing on the table during an important dinner when we were both supposed to be sleeping."
"What happened?" LP asked, leaning forward.
Miracle looked happy and eager to hear.
"Well, Frankie got out of his room, he was just jealous that he wasn't the center of attention, I'm sure you both know how he can be like that," Noelle started, then happily told the story. "Well, he was in a dress that was made for me when I'd be old enough for it and he was in his diaper. He stood on the table and started to sing for the visiting people for the banquet and he ripped off his diaper and threw it at our father's face!"
Miracle burst out giggling. "That's funny." she giggled.
Noelle giggled a bit behind her hand. "I wish I brought my photo album... Growing up with Frank was certainly interesting."
"I have a button!" LP spoke up. "It can show us anything we wanna see!"
Miracle looked happy again. "Hee-hee" she giggled.
Noelle smiled a bit. "Okay, get it, but hurry before your father comes and grills me." she chuckled a little sheepishly.
LP went through her things and went to look for the button she had mentioned.
Miracle leaned against Noelle "I like you." she beamed.
Noelle smiled, looking down at the girl. "I like you too, honey... How old are you? Nine? Ten?"
LP kept looking and took out the white case filled with dolls and was almost getting to the button. She really needed to clean her box more often like she was told.
"I'm eight." Miracle smiled. She watched LP ready to offer help if the girl needed it.
"Found it!" LP took out the button and came to Noelle.
"We didn't have these when I was a child," Noelle took the button to see it had some communication in it. "Must be some new technology."
Miracle waited, smiling.
"What does it do?" Noelle asked the girls.
"We can talk to people, see stuff from anywhere, probably time too..." LP shrugged.
Noelle shrugged, then told the button to go to when Frank was a baby just as an experiment.
The tiny machine did something a little different than it usually does and overcast them and they were in a hospital.
LP looked around at the new room. "What are we doing here? We're not sick..."
Miracle clung to both LP and Noelle.
"This is where babies come from, sweetie, didn't your Daddy ever tell you?" Noelle asked in a hushed tone.
LP shook her head. "Someone's coming!" she cried, whispering for them to hide.
The lights came on and there came a young woman with curly blonde hair and green eyes with a slight bump in her stomach and she came in.
Miracle watched with wide eyes.
"What is it?" a voice asked the woman.
"Thought I heard something veird..." the woman replied gently. She seemed to have an accent like Magenta and Miracle.
Miracle heard the accent and looked confused.
"Well, don't dawdle, the Queen is waiting for her child!"
"Yes..." the woman nodded and held a baby wrapped in a blue blanket with a bushel of black curly hair. She cooed and shushed the baby to stop any crying and went to go into a room.
"Queen?" LP whispered. They must've traveled back in time.
LP, Noelle, and Miracle looked through a glass window to see the Queen, though younger and not as chubby. She had a sparkly dress on though as opposed to a hospital gown.
"It vas a boy, your Majesty." the blonde woman told the Queen as the baby quietly cooed and she handed the baby to the royal one. "It looks like my little vun has somevun to play vith now." she smiled delicately.
Miracle saw the blonde woman, similar looks to her parents and her eyes widened. She, unknowingly to herself, was preparing to step out to see the woman. LP and Noelle were amazed to see how much the woman looked like Riff Raff, but had the build of Magenta.
The woman smiled and allowed the Queen to rest with her son. "Vhat are you going to name him, Mistress?"
The Queen pondered a moment and clutched the bundle in her arms as he seemed to reach out for her pearl necklace. "He's a little hot dog like his father... I'll name him Frankie."
Miracle was about to take a step to get a closer view of the woman.
"This might be dangerous, does she know the woman?" Noelle asked quietly to her niece.
"I don't think so." LP whispered back to her aunt.
The blonde woman wrote the baby's birth certificate and went to put it away. Miracle ignored them. She would try not be be seen but she wanted a closer look at the woman.
The curly blonde haired woman hummed the Transylvanian lullaby as she felt contractions inside her stomach. Her gentle humming soothed the baby inside her womb and the baby was now lightly kicking instead of nearly exploding in there. "Settle, settle, little vun... Ve'll be home to your big brother and daddy soon, I promise... I love you, my baby..." she cooed to her unborn child.
Miracle went to the closest hiding space she could get.
The blonde woman put away the certificate and sensed a presence she wasn't familiar with. She looked around and looked in the direction of the spot Miracle was in. "Is somevun there?" she asked, coming toward the spot slowly.
Miracle's eyes widened she backed up into the hiding spot even more.
The woman had came face to face with Miracle. She didn't seem to recognize the little girl. "Oh, hello little vun... Are you lost?" she asked quietly.
Miracle looked at the woman, in awe at how she looked like a mix of both parents. She bit her lip worried, deciding it dangerous to reveal her accent.
"You must be badly shook up... Come here, let me get you something, little vun." the woman patted her head and smiled. "You know, you're a very gorgeous little girl..." she gave a smile, then went to get the girl a cup of water.
Miracle gave a small weak smile, but followed her to get the water.
The woman got a cup of water and smiled, handing it to Miracle. "Here, dear."
Miracle offered a smile after taking the water. She tried to show her gratitude in the smile.
"Now, vhere are your parents?" the woman asked, seeing as the hospital was about to close as the Queen was being taken home by a couple of servants with her new bundle of joy.
"You're the most perfect baby, yes you are!" the Queen babbled at her baby son, who was sleeping.
Miracle bit her bottom lip and looked down.
The woman frowned. "Please don't tell me you're an orphan..." she said softly.
Miracle looked up and shook her head, though she looked nervous as it could well be that way at this time.
The woman sighed about her. "Vell, if you don't say anything, and you're not an orphan, vhat do you expect me to do?"
Miracle looked down not knowing what to do herself.
"I think you should stay vith me until ve find your parents, I need to get home myself." the woman said, taking her hand and leading her out of the hospital as two moons were in the everlasting night sky.
Miracle felt a small connection to the woman and allowed her to pull her along.
The woman took out a card and slid it against a slot and she and Miracle came into the small house. "Richard, I'm home!" she called to her husband.
Miracle looked around in awe. The woman came to her red-haired husband who also had green eyes. The two shared a hug together and the woman explained Miracle was probably lost or a run-away child. Around Miracle there were several pictures of the couple together with a baby blonde boy with icy blue eyes. Miracle looked at the pictures with wide eyes.
"She's really beautiful." Richard told his wife.
The woman nodded with a smile. "I think so too... I hope ve can find her parents soon."
Miracle touched one of the pictures lightly and carefully. Richard and his wife left to talk a bit about having Miracle stay with them. Miracle was looking at her young father in awe. Richard kept talking with his wife inside the kitchen and there came a yellow-haired boy with footy pajamas. Miracle looked at the boy. Her eyes widened briefly and then she smiled.
The boy looked a little shy at Miracle and snuffled his eye up. "Hello..." he said in a very quiet voice, he seemed very shy.
Miracle gave a small smile and waved at the boy. The boy petted his bear's head and gave a tiny wave to the slightly older girl.
Richard came to see her. "Miracle, we decided that you can stay here until we find your family, is that okay?"
Miracle bit her lip again, but nodded.
"We have a guest room." Richard told her. "Boy, what are you doing up?"
The boy looked up at his father. "Couldn't sleep... Heard you and Mumsy..." he said quietly.
Miracle gave a grateful nod.
"Well, it's late, even for the land of the night," Richard told the boy. "After I send Miracle to bed, I'll give you a story."
"Okay, Father..." the boy said quietly, then went to his bedroom. "Night, pretty girl." he told Miracle.
Miracle gave a tiny wave to the young boy. She then waited patiently as she didn't want to seem rude.
The blonde woman came to Miracle. "How about I set you to sleep, little vun?"
Miracle almost felt like a secret dreams was coming true. She nodded and gently took the woman's hand.
The woman smiled and she took Miracle into the guest room. There was a nice comfortable white guest bed that was aligned against a blank wall, but a window on the other side of the room with the moon-drenched ocean shores splashing against the side delicately. There was also a private bathroom and a mirror with some toiletries for anything the guest may need during their visit. "If you need anything, just let me or Richard know, sveetheart... Ve'll see you later." she said in a hushed tone and went to close the door for Miracle to sleep peacefully.
Miracle smiled softly and then got into the bed while looking out of the window. There was a mystical tune in the air that sounded like angels humming with some deep breathing that was beyond beautiful. Miracle listened happily and slowly started to close her eyes.
"We have to get her!" LP cried, but then the button beeped and she and Noelle were sent back into the bedroom in present day.
"We're back!" Noelle cried, a little nervous. "We have to tell someone what happened and get your friend back."
"But who?" LP wondered, nervous and scared about leaving Miracle behind accidentally. She ran down the hall, looking for Riff Raff, feeling he would be the right person to help her and Noelle in this situation.
Riff Raff was walking to get a couple of drinks for him and Magenta.
LP ran and skid on her heels to make herself stop right in front of the handyman. "Umm... Don't yell at me or punish me, but there's a problem..." she said nervously to him.
Riff looked at her. "What?" he asked calmly.
LP took a deep breath to explain everything. "Aunt Noey came in our room to spend some time with us and she told us some funny stories about Daddy before he was Daddy and she was a baby, we then wanted to know more and I went to get my button for Aunt Noey. We then wound up in a strange hospital and were sent back here, but Miracle is stuck in the hospital!"
Riff blinked a moment and then went to get Magenta. "Stay here." he said calmly.
LP watched him leave and tried to stay put.
Magenta was looking at her gowns, deciding which to wear, but seemed very fond of the see-through one that only had dark black over the parts she didn't want anyone in public to see.
Riff went to Magenta. "We have a slight problem." he said.
"I'm not letting Frank tie me up vhile he kisses me around and you sleep again." Magenta said, rather coldly.
"Not that... and what?!" He asked.
"You're better off not knowing." Magenta put her hand up to her brother.
Riff frowned slightly. "I came to say that we have a problem about Miracle." he said.
"Vhat's vrong?" Magenta was instantly worried.
Riff sighed. "She got stuck in the past when LP, Noelle and herself wanted to see baby Frank."
"She must've hit the vrong thing on her button... I told Frank he should've vaited until she was old enough to understand the simple machine," Magenta sighed. "Let's see... Vhen Frank vas a baby... I think you vere almost two..."
Riff nodded.
"Okay, then I vasn't born yet, so this must be vhen Mother vas a nurse in the hospital," Magenta tried to piece together what she knew about their parents. "Do you have a vay of getting her back yet?"
Riff shook his head. "Not yet..." he sighed.
"I hate to say this but... Maybe ve should ask Frank for help." Magenta suggested with a shrug.
"I guess." Riff sighed.
"I'm sure he has something." Magenta sighed as well.
Frank had put Sarah-Anne to bed and was quickly checking some things in his lab before he would get some sleep himself. Riff knew where the man would be so headed there. Magenta came with him.
Frank hummed with his hands on his hips and started to sing. "MAN! I feel like a woman..." he sang to himself, unaware of his domestic and handyman behind him.
Riff was both disturbed and amused.
Frank whooed for himself, then spun and gasped, nearly backing up clumsily, seeing them. Frank slowly shut his eyes. "What do you two want?" he asked, a little disturbed and angered.
"Your intelligence." Magenta said abruptly.
"Oh, has Riff Raff finally accepted I'm the smarter of us?" Frank chuckled, egotistically.
Riff scowled. "No, but Miracle is trapped in the past due to a mistake your sister and Little Precious have done..." he said quietly.
"What?" Frank stood up, a little angry.
"It vas an accident, and ve need your help before a paradox happens." Magenta said urgently. "I just hope she isn't in my fourth birthday..."
Riff nodded. "They didn't do it on purpose." he agreed.
"Well, I would hope not! I hope you two have a lot of energy because I don't know how long this could take." Frank said as he went to the transmit beam to make it travel through time instead of galaxies.
Riff nodded. Frank told Riff what he would need as tools and as the man would pass them, Frank would use them against the transmit beam. Magenta stood, a little bored. Riff passed the tools. Frank took them and used them as he was almost done. Magenta watched Riff at work, even if he wasn't doing much, but she was deeply aroused by it. She wished that Riff wouldn't be so busy right now, then she would have a lot more fun with him, but they had to save their daughter now. Riff looked calm and stressed at the same time.
"Am I in trouble?" LP asked shakily.
"No, you're not in trouble..." Magenta said calmly, then looked a bit angry. "YET!"
Frank continued to work. "Almost done..." he said quietly.
Riff nodded to Frank.
Frank wiped his forehead, then went to LP. "Okay, sweetie, you stay here with your aunt while we get Miracle back."
"Aww, can't I go with you, Daddy?" L"Please, let me come!" LP cried.
"Dear, I'm sorry, but you are to stay here in the castle." Frank said in the most apologetic voice he could give her.P sniffled.
Magenta came to Riff and gave him some water due to the hard work.
Riff took a small drink. "Thank you." he said quietly.
Magenta smiled.
Riff smile/smirked at his sister. He then looked at LP. "You'll be safer here." he told the girl.
"Take care of your Aunty, now run along." Frank ruffled up the young girl's hair and kissed her forehead.
LP sighed and went to the elevator to go down and meet Noelle. Magenta blushed a bit and watched the princess leave. Riff also watched LP leave. He then looked at Frank.
"We'll also probably need to not tell anyone who we are, it could cause a major paradox." Frank lectured like an old science teacher.
"I don't care!" Magenta screeched with tears. "I vant my baby back!"
Riff hugged Magenta gently. Magenta sniffled, cuddling against Riff.
"Don't worry, we'll get her back, we shouldn't use our real names." Frank advised.
Riff nodded. "Yes..." he agreed.
"We may also need to disguise ourselves a bit," Frank suggested. "We'll need fake names."
Magenta squinted her eyes at the prince. "You look like a Tim to me for some reason..."
Riff nodded. "You do," he agreed and then looked at his dearest sister. "You look like a Quinn." he said with his usual smile/smirk.
"Qvuinn... I almost named Miracle that," Magenta smiled deeply. "Vhat vill your name be?"
Frank took note of their new names and went to get a box with some new outfits to take before they would get Miracle and pose as a surrogate family or group of friends so they wouldn't give anyone the girl would have met a scare.
"Brien?" Riff suggested.
"It could vork." Magenta shrugged.
"Okay, pick your favorite." Frank said to the two as he had collected a pile of possible outfits to try on, being the 'fashionista' of the castle since Columbia didn't live with them anymore.
Riff let Magenta pick first. Magenta reached into the box and took out what appeared to be a dull navy blue dress like what an Earthling Kindergarten teacher would wear. It came with a pair of black flats and there was a zipper in the back of the dress. Magenta had to admit that this was atrocious, but it was better than that old farmer's wife outfit Frank would force her in. Riff nodded, he thought she looked great in anything but that was better than the farmer outfits. He chose an outfit that looked like a bodyguard's outfit.
Magenta went to change into her new outfit. She also thought maybe her makeup would reveal too much and decided to wipe it off. After she finished, the domestic looked back in the mirror and let out a struggled shriek, then realized she was looking at herself. She looked so different without her true, evilly made-up face. Riff went to change, standing up completely straight. He tied his hair back and had some sunglasses in his pocket.
Frank was still struggling with an outfit. He found a suit that he usually wore to weddings he was invited to, but still had his stockings and heels instead of the pants and dress shoes he was required to wear. This was so hard. "Can one of you help me decide what to wear!?" Frank called.
"Not it." Magenta said quickly.
Riff sent a mock glare, but was secretly annoyed at Frank. "Fine..." he said. He then had to help the man out picking an outfit.
Magenta smirked, then tried to convince herself that once they would go back in time, that her new name was Quinn. Quinn, Quinn, Quinn. Her name is not Magenta Vitus, it is Quinn... Whatever her surname would happen to become. But she is Quinn, not Magenta, at least not for a while now. Frank pouted as he had the clothes scattered on the floor around him. Riff showed up and pointedout an outfit that was more modest than what Frank was used to.
Frank sighed and decided to go along with it. "Should I remove my make-up?" he asked, sadly.
"Maybe best..." Riff said.
"Okay... I'll keep my guy-liner though." Frank stated on one condition.
"Fine." Riff agreed.
Frank beamed, then went to wipe away his make-up and then put on the guy-liner perfectly.
"I feel so awkvard..." Magenta looked at how plain she seemed in her new guise.
Riff then looked at his sister and smiled "You still look pretty." he soothed.
Magenta smiled fondly at him, but was still a little disgusted with her new look. "And you are handsome."
Riff chuckled slightly. "I'm not sure about that." he said.
"So, vhat do ve tell whoever has Miracle vhen ve find her?" Magenta asked as Frank was preparing himself.
"We could say the truth but under our new guises." Riff suggested.
"So, basically that ve're her parents and ve're going to take her home?" Magenta ran it by him quickly.
Riff nodded.
Frank came out without his other make-up such as powder, mascara, lipstick and blush. "I feel naked." he murmured.
"At least you have guy-liner." Riff told Frank.
Frank rolled his eyes and let out an amused laugh.
"Is it safe to go now?" Magenta asked.
"Yes, but where should we look?" Frank asked them as they all stepped inside the transporter.
"Well, they wanted to see you as a baby..." Riff said.
"Right then," Frank entered into the keypad his birth date. "The day that Transsexual just got sexier!"
Magenta rolled her eyes. Riff snorted slightly.
"Come along." Frank told them.
Magenta took Riff's hand and they went into the transmit beam.
The machine did it stuff and zapped, sending them back to Transsexual, over 30 years ago.
