A/N – Thanks for the tip NicolinaN. I suppose I do need some more practice with my paragraph spacing.


She then curled into a ball as Brian left inside the store.

"That was freakin' terrifying!" Mandy wiped her eyes. "I'm too young to die!" She hiccuped. "Just..don't go back to his castle. Yeah. And always say no if he wants you to go with him to his planet." She gulped. "Now that I think about it, Frank and I really didn't have anything in common. He was just being super polite because obviously I'm a different species. I don't hate him, but I'm not risking my life just for love."

Mandy adjusted herself in the seat as Brian walked back with two grocery bags. She wiped her eyes as he put them in the trunk. "It's fine. Everything's fine."

"Hiya." He started the car back up with a smile. "That was quick." "Oh yeah. The line was so short. Like only ten people were shopping there." "More for us then." She shut her eyes.

"Yep. You snooze, you lose. So I got a twelve pack of soda, two bags of Doritos, and just to top it all off, I got a chocolate cake." He placed a hand on hers.

Mandy looked at him and smiled. "I love you." "Love you too." He rubbed her hand with his thumb. "Oh. I also picked up two frozen pizzas. One is pepperoni and the other is vegetables." "You know what?" Mandy sighed.

"What?" "I just might go a little bit easier on you." She hummed. "Oh will you?" They went to quickly kiss. Brian lightly groaned as he heard her phone vibrate. "He'll never leave you alone!" He angrily groaned. Mandy gulped as her thumb hovered over the answer button. "Put it on speaker." She sighed with a nod and answered it.

"Wrong number." Mandy said then went to hang up. *"Mandy."* Frank cleared his throat. "I don't feel well." *"Why are you avoiding me? I miss your face."*

"Why is it so hard for you to understand why?" She snapped. "Do you want me killed?" Brian drove into a restaurant parking lot and parked the car.

*"What? No Mandy. I never wanted you dead! What happened was a simple misunderstanding."* "And so was our relationship. Goodbye." *"Mandy w.."* She hung up and sighed, wiping her eyes.

"Mandy." Brian folded his arms. "Shut up!" He sighed and restarted the car. "No!" She nearly screamed as he made a wrong turn. "You said it was our night!"

"You can't hid from your problems forever." Brian calmly parked the car on the street next to the castle. "I'll go with you. And then we'll have our time together." He opened her door. Mandy curled into a ball in protest. "Do I need to carry you?" She huffed and shut her eyes.

Five minutes later, both of them walked up to the castle door. After Brian rang the doorbell, Mandy hid behind him.

"And the trap is set." Frank smirked and folded his arms.

"What do you want Frank?" Brian scowled. "Uh uh uh." He set a finger on his lips then whispered. "Columbia is asleep on the couch." "Then close the damn door!" Brian shouted in a whisper.

Mandy let out a soft sneeze, causing Frank to grin. "I see that have your hands full Brian."

She tightly hugged her co-worker in fear. "It's rather chilly out here. Why don't you come inside and I'll warm you up." Frank winked. Mandy narrowed her eyes and shook her head.

"Oh dear. You don't look too happy." He forcefully took one of her hands in his. "It would be unwise if you keep running off." Mandy groaned as he pulled her to his waist.

"Mandy and I want some time alone." Brian stated. "Oh do you? Are you giving her a second chance?" He huffed. 'It's not sexual!' "No! I meant to just play video games. Eat junk food."

"Ah. And you have pressed all of her wrong buttons?" Mandy tried to escape Frank's grip but couldn't. "Let me go Frank! I'm not in love with you anymore!"

He pinned her against the castle wall. "You don't have to be baby. But I love you. And that is all that matters." He tilted his head and roughly bit her neck.

Mandy huffed. "Isn't there anything else on your mind besides sex?" Frank hid his teeth with his tongue. She shut her eyes with a sigh. "Well I am a scientist as you recall. And I'm very interested on how the human body functions." Frank quietly opened the door and dragged her towards the elevator.

"No!" Mandy ran out as they reached the laboratory floor. "Get back here!" Frank ran after her. 'On second thought, keep running. It will be nice to check your heart rate.' "Why?" She ran up to the top of the ramp and stopped. "Do you not care about my health? Mental health?" Mandy slightly teared up.

Frank stopped running and sighed. "Of course I do Mandy." "Prove it!" She shouted. "I will never believe you!" "Mandy." "What?" "I can't help the way I am." "And how many times do you think I heard that excuse?" She sat down.

He huffed, pondering how to respond to her. "Unless you are willing to change me. But I can't give up my occupation."

Mandy rolled her eyes and walked down the ramp. "You are going to change just because of me? Why?" Frank held out a hand. "Because I love you Mandy. Since the moment I laid eyes on you. Your smile, personality, wit." 'Well that's a start.' She shrugged but still stood ten feet from him.

Brian hesitantly waited for the elevator and then listened as he reached the laboratory.

"Please?"

She wiped her eyes, traumatized of the chance of meeting her death. "I will protect you Mandy. Never let anything hurt you. You are not just any girl to me." Frank fluttered his eyes as they welled up, attempting to avoid ruining his makeup.

"I can't answer right now." She scratched her head. "And why not?" "Because I'm still struggling to preserve.." She fell quiet.

Frank huffed then frowned. "Did that really scare you?" Mandy quickly nodded and sat on the floor, bursting into tears and hiding her face between her knees.

The transvestite rolled his eyes with a huff then glared at Brian. He blushed. "You wouldn't suppose that a little..oh I don't know..treatment would soothe her worries."

He folded his arms. "No. Absolutely not! I've seen the marks on her..beautifully soft.." Brian lightly smiled at the ceiling in a daze. "..pale.."

"Perhaps we can share?" Frank interrupted. Brian roughly shook his head. "No. Okay? No. Wait. What treatment? And don't you dare say bedroom."

Frank cleared his throat. "Place of sleeping?" Brian groaned. "I'm joking dear." He grinned. "You see, ever since Columbia had arrived at my castle, I have been incredibly cautious about humans staying within my premises." He blinked then muttered. "Well with the exemption of Brad and Janet."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Brian narrowed his eyes. "Oh. Anyway. After some research on your kind, I managed to create a 'resistance' if you will. What it will do is shield her body from any further harm. Similar to what you humans experience with a flu shot."

Brian at first felt sick to his stomach and lost his sight for minute. "Hello?" Frank waved his hand in front of his face. "Wait. Why didn't you think of this before?" "Because I didn't have the chance to receive you consent." Frank smirked.

He sighed. "Of course I can give it to you as well if you'd like. Simply right.." Frank rolled up Brian's sleeve and poked his shoulder. "..here."

"You're sure this will work?" "As positive as I am a sweet transvestite." Frank smiled with hands on his own hips. "But..I promised Mandy that she and I were going to spend the night playing video games." "Oh. Well why don't you bring the system over here? And by the time you come back, She'll be as good as new."

"No tricks right?" "Cross my heart and hope to die." Brian sighed in relief and lightly kissed him on the lips. "You're awesome Frank. Where can I set it up?" "M..My room is fine." He stammered.

"Sweet!" Brian left down the elevator.

Frank shook his head and knelt down next to Mandy. "Baby?"

Now calmed down, Mandy lifted her head. "What?" "I've figured out a solution to solve all of our problems baby." "I'm scared." She blinked. "No no no dear. Listen. It's a simple injection than will make you immune to any further harm. What do you say?" "I say I'm scared." Mandy sighed. "But if you promise that I won't.." "Never again."

She closed her eyes. Frank softly kissed her and helped her stand up. "I hope so." "Excellent! Right this way." He walked over to the table and helped Mandy onto it. "How does this work?" "I just poke you." Frank rolled up her right sleeve and put on his green gown, along with his pink gloves.

"Is that really necessary?" She smiled. "Fortunately." He playfully stuck out his tongue and took a syringe from a box. "Um. Where is that going?" "Just in your arm."

Mandy hummed and looked away as he poured the solution into it. "Ready?" "What's that supposed to mean? Oh." She watched as Frank cleaned her arm. "Yeah. I guess." The girl shrugged.

"You're sweating a little baby." He dabbed her forehead with the edge of a red sheet. She simply nodded, not wanting to talk anymore.

Frank's gloved hand held her arm and injected the needle. Mandy briefly tightened her eyes. "This better work." She muttered. "It will Mandy. Trust me. Columbia hasn't been sick since."

Although assured that, she looked away and shut her eyes. The needle left her arm and was replaced with a small bandage. "There we go Mandy. So. I was in my closet the other day and found the perfect corset for you! I'm so sorry I fitted you in that ugly green one the other day. This one is pure black. Laced from the waist down."

Mandy stood up and walked over to a corner. She sat down with her head against the wall and eyes closed.

"Mandy?" Frank set aside his gown and gloves. "I just want to be alone for a while." Wanting to protest, He instead walked to the elevator. "You'll know where to find us then." He pressed the down button and made his way to his bedroom. Brian had just finished connecting the gaming system.


"There you are." He smiled. "Where's Mandy?" "She said that she wanted to be left alone. In the laboratory." "Oh." "You don't seem very.." "Not at all. It happens a lot. She's unfortunately a deep thinker with a good memory. It usually lasts five minutes at most." "Oh. Then I suppose I didn't help with that." Frank frowned.

Brian picked up a wireless controller and pressed play while laying on the bed. Frank took off his heels and joined him with a hand on Brian's leg. "How do you play this?" "You just shoot people really." "Hm." He shrugged. "Seems rather violent." "Yeah." "Are there any less violent ones?" "There are. I only brought one with me though."

Frank hummed and pressed the pause button. "What did you do that for?" "I prefer men with a much more sensitive side." Brian rolled his eyes and put down the controller. "Yeah? And? Where are you going with this?"

Frank hovered over him with a smirk. "Uh.." "That kiss you gave me.." Brian lightly groaned and bucked his hips as Frank slid a hand down his pants. "Oh god." "Oh yes indeed." The transvestite used his other hand to unbutton his pants. "Don't do this Frank. Please don't." "Do you not want me to?" "N..no. I want you to but Mandy.." "Mandy isn't here darling." Frank covered Brian's midsection with a sheet. Brian let out a loud moan as his erect manhood was freed from the tight fabric.


Mandy touched her bandage. "Ow!" She groaned. "Really like those damn flu shots." She carefully stood up and made her way to Frank's bedroom. Mandy covered a smile with her hand as Brian was fully naked with the sheet still there. Frank was occupied with his head under the sheet.

"I don't understand what you are so ashamed about Brian." He licked his member. "Oh jeez Frank." Brian hissed. "Something wrong dear? Would you like something more.. erotic?" Frank rose his head and looked him in the eyes. "N..no. Just..not so fast."

He smiled and gently tickled it with his fingernails. Brian clenched his teeth, trying not to shout.

'Better him then me.' "Mandy. Tell him to stop!" Brian shook his head. "Mandy!" He quickly sat up. "Ow!" Frank hissed as Brian accidentally kicked him in the right shoulder.

"This..isn't what you think it is." "Oh. It's simply my fault for walking in unnoticed." She smirked and started to leave. "Have fun!" "Mandy!" "Yes?" She walked backwards. "I don't want to ruin your fun."

"Not at all dear. He's being extremely difficult." Frank accused him. "I am not!" She sighed. "Perhaps you can restrain him for me." Frank scratched his own forehead.

"Uh uh. No way. This is all on you guys." She head to the stairwell. "Mandy!" Frank sang and blocked her path. She folded her arms. "What if I allow you and Brian to swap places? You sacrifice your mobility, and your beloved co-worker and I will be your servants."

"Excuse me?" He walked out of the room with the sheet tied around his waist.

"Oh! There you are. Mandy and I were just awaiting your opinion." He tilted his head. "Opinion on what?" "Well my little damsel in distress,.." Frank cooed and set his right hand on Brian's crotch. 'Stop doing that!" He grunted. "..we were discussing the option of you and her switching places."

She signaled a flat hand across her throat. "I overheard her say no." Frank looked over his shoulder. "A no?" Mandy nodded. "But didn't you mention something earlier along the lines of a laced corset." She smiled. "It may have slipped out." He grinned.

"What about me?" Brian frowned. "Well the more the merrier." Frank smiled and quietly led them over to his bedroom closet.
