Author Note: So I'm trying to get this last chapter up tonight cuz Im just realizing how much I missed my story and I want to get more for you guys before tomorrow! Enjoy and review! Riff POV and once again I do not own Rocky or any of the characters!
The night sky came quicker that night than most and Riff was instructed to keep at the door to show the guests to the party room when they arrived. Columbia was practicing her steps in the ballroom and Magenta was still trying to finish up her dusting. Riff was not looking forward to any of the people coming and kept his mind on the beam upstairs. It would all be over soon, very very soon. "What's taking them so long? I'm getting tired of waiting!" Columbia called from the next room. Riff looked out the window and saw the rain pouring hard upon the already wet grass. "Must be the rain." He was about to leave his post when the sound of motor bikes stopped him in his tracks. He turned to let them all in, but was surprised when they just opened the door themselves and found their own way to the ballroom. Not one of them, all dressed in black jackets and black pants with helmets, acknowledged his presence. They walked right by him, throwing their jackets and helmets in his general direction. He gathered their discarded clothes without complaint and piled them onto a table near the door.
Riff quietly went up the stairs knowing that he wouldn't be missed. Frank wouldn't think of leaving his room until the party was really alive and everybody was dying to see him. That's how Frank liked it. Riff didn't even see Magenta on his way up to the attic. She was probably near the party guests, longing them to invite her for a dance. Riff hid their native clothes up there. It was the one place that Frank never went and he was surprised when Magenta didn't open up anything to see them. He hadn't told her about them yet. He wanted to wait to see her happy face when he pulled them out of storage. She needed some new clothes so badly and he knew after he got them settled down back home, he would get her as many clothes as he could possibly afford. He would have to go looking for a new way to make a living but he was sure with the experience he had, it couldn't be that hard. He wouldn't let Magenta get another job. He would make sure she never worked another day in her life. Maybe he would be able to help fix her broken body. He knew how badly she wanted a child and he knew how badly he wanted to give her one. There had to be a way.
He stared into the night sky and knew that this would probably be the last time he saw the planet earth in this way, and that's when he noticed something moving in the darkness. He looked closer and saw it was a young couple and from the way they were walking towards the castle, he knew they weren't here for the party. They looked as though they were lost, and from the way the man was holding the woman, he guessed they were lovers. He basically ran down the stairs so he could be the one to answer the door when they rang. He had never really talked one on one to a human being from this planet before and he was not going to miss this chance up to Frank. "What are you doing Riff?" He turned and saw Magenta standing with one arm on the staircase. How pretty she looked standing there and Riff noticed she finally put on her beloved lipstick. "Someone's coming. It's people from the town I think." He saw Magenta's face brighten up and then they heard the old doorbell ring. Riff slowly opened the door just enough to see their faces. The male was a taller man with dark hair and eyes. He had his arm wrapped tightly around the female who was much smaller than him with lighter hair. Her eyes were rather large, but she looked to be about the same age as Magenta although Magenta had a smaller frame.
"Hello," Riff said quietly. He wasn't too sure what to think of the humans and what exactly they wanted was still yet to be known. The male put his hand forward and smiled. "Hi. My name's Brad Majors, and this is my finacee', Janet Weiss. I wonder if you wouldn't mind helping us. You see, my car broke down a few miles up the road. Do you have a phone we might use?" Riff did not take his eyes off of them. Their clothes were soaking and clinging to their bodies and the girl, Janet, was shivering from the cold. "You're wet," he told them. Why would people go out in the rain without anything to keep their bodies dry? "Yes, it's raining..." Janet said. She was a pretty creature, and he knew how Magenta would want to meet them. Riff was sure that Frank didn't have a workable phone they could use but the humans could come in the castle to dry off. "Yes...I think perhaps you better both come inside." A lightening streak startled him and he didn't want either of them to get hurt. Janet offered a little smile as Brad dragged her inside. "You're too kind." He trailed behind them, almost fascinated by how direct they were. People from his planet did not come door to door asking for help. That was just unheard of.
The music coming from the ballroom seemed to take them at ease, and they were both in awe of the height of the castle. Janet's eyes grew wider as they admired the room around them. Magenta had covered her head into the staircase and was staying completley still. Riff wasn't sure if she was scared of them or if she was planning something else. She should know by now that Riff would never let anything near her that would hurt her. This human couple was completely harmless. "Brad, I'm frightened! What kind of place is this?" Janet grabbed tight onto Brad's arm and stayed close to him. "It's probably just some hunting lodge for rich weirdos," Brad said with his eyes almost glued to the cieling. Riff slammed the door shut to keep the cold air out and that clearly startled the two guests who jumped at the loud sound. He walked between them and decided he would show them to the ballroom. They would be able to eat if they wished and dry off. "This way," he said, leading the way. He walked rather slowly, listening to the footsteps of the two behind him. His sister still had not moved from her spot. "Are you having a party?" Janet asked him. Riff turned around to them and stopped walking. He looked up at Magenta but he couldn't see her face, only a poof of her red hair. "You've arrived on a rather special night. It's one of the master's affairs." Janet smiled at Riff but looked up at Brad who still had his arm wrapped around hers. "Oh, lucky him." It was then that he saw his sister start to lift her face from her hiding spot. "You're lucky. He's lucky. I'm lucky. We're all lucky!" Magenta swung one of her legs over the staircase and slid down, throwing her duster to Riff when she hit the edge. She started laughing and Riff was grateful to hear her laugh again. He had begun to miss it.
The grandfather clock started to dong and Riff went over to dust it off a bit. He turned to Brad and Janet who were staring at him with the most curious expressions on their faces, and he tried to explain to them what they were about to see in the next room: the time warp. It was one of the most popular dances in transsexual and he knew the dance was starting in the ballroom. "It's astounding. Time is fleeting. Madness, takes its toll so listen closely." Magenta smiled ear to ear when she heard what he was saying and she helped to stop the couple when they turned to leave. "Not for very much longer!" Magenta coaxed. The couple started to run into the next room, Riff guessed, to find that phone Brad was asking for. Riff raised his hands with Magenta in their secret gesture, and followed the couple into the ballroom. Brad and Janet were speechless when the party guests turned to face them to do the time warp dance. Riff Raff heard his sister sing with the transalvanians and he had never felt more relaxed in his life. Janet fell into Brad's arms in a moment's faint. She just didn't understand the dance. "It's so dreamy. Oh, fantasy free me! So you can't see me, no, not at all. In another dimension, with voiyarstic intension. Well secluded, I see all." Magenta danced as she told them these words, but it was when Columbia started to sing along is when Brad and Janet looked even more nervous. Riff smiled at himself when he saw how jealous Magenta looked when Columbia started her tap dance. The entire room was staring at the groupie and Riff knew Columbia loved the attention. Columbia though was the only one stupid enough to ruin her own dance by slipping on her own feet and falling across the room. Riff heard Magenta giggle but waited patiently for Columbia to get back to her spot during the dance. The dance ended with everybody falling to the floor and Riff had almost forgotten that the couple was still there until he heard Brad speak. "Hey! Do any of you guys know how to Madison?"
