Frank awoke in his bedroom with a major headache. "Mandy? Are you hungry baby?" He looked around the room. He fixed his blue nightgown before standing up. "Mandy?" He frantically searched the room.

"Good morning my son." The queen walked into his bedroom in a gold nightgown. "What are you looking for?"

Frank froze as he heard her voice and slowly sat on his bed with a sigh. "N..nothing mother."

"What's wrong my baby?" The queen frowned and sat on the other side of the bed. Frank blinked as she placed a hand on his back.

"It's Mandy mother. I can't get her out of my head." He covered his face with his hands. "I love her. Ever since the minute I set eyes on her."

"And?" She narrowed her eyes and folded her arms. "You know that my mind is made up."

"Aren't you listening to me?" He lay his head on his pillow. "I can't be without her for this long! We never have been."

She huffed and left the room, sick of his whining.


Mandy lay on his castle bed, completely still as she was too depressed to move. 'Wait a minute!' She quickly sat up. 'Didn't Janet spend the night?'

The girl smirked. 'A tradition must never be broken.' Mandy quietly searched each room.

Janet was sleeping in a large bedroom wearing what appeared to be just her white under clothes. Mandy was hesitant at first but walked in anyway. She removed her nightgown and lay under the blankets. Mandy snuggled close to her.

Janet sighed. "Oh Brad." She smiled and opened her eyes. Janet shrieked. "Mandy!?"

"I'm afraid so Janet. But isn't it nice?" Mandy hovered over her.

"W..what are you doing here? Did you have a nightmare?" She hid her chest with the covers. "Where is your nightdress?"

Mandy shrugged. "It was a nightmare based on the circumstances." She frowned.

"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that." She looked up at her. "Brad insisted that Rocky spend the night with him yesterday."

Mandy rolled her eyes. "I guess our luck ran out. Would you like to come down to the kitchen with me?" "Sure." She stood up and grabbed her clothes.

"Uh uh." Mandy held her hand. "Formal dress is to be optional." She smirked.

Janet huffed and walked behind her. "It is nice to have some girl time." She blinked. "Rocky has been acting so needy lately."

Mandy smiled. "I can understand that. Even the most masculine of men can be so childish." Mandy took the pitcher of apple juice from the fridge and poured them both a glass. "I see Columbia did your nails. Very pretty."

"Oh yes." Janet spread her fingers. "She's very talented. I'm surprised that she knew my favorite color was purple." She took the glass as it was handed to her. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. I didn't know that. I thought that your favorite was pink?" Mandy blinked.

"Pink is my second favorite. I can't find a lot of clothes I like with that shade though." Janet looked down and noticed Mandy's faded scars. She lightly gasped and knelt down. "What happened Mandy?"

"That was Riff Raff's fault." She glared at the wall. "I was trying to protect.." She stopped. "..Frank."

"He shot you? With that laser thing?" Janet huffed. "I knew something was suspicious about him."

"Yeah." She nodded. "That whole "aliens versus humans" garbage. Apparently I was infected with a group of little parasites as a result. Frank managed to remove them though. I was unconscious when he did thankfully." Mandy sipped her juice.

"Ouch." She clenched her teeth. "I'm so sorry that happened to you." She knelt down and softly kissed each one, causing Mandy to close her eyes. "Janet?"

She stood back up and drank her juice. "Yes?" "They still sting a little bit." "Oh okay. I'm sorry. Can I get you a warm cloth?"

Mandy rose her right eyebrow. "That would be..nice. Thank you Janet."

They walked back upstairs with their drinks. Mandy lay down on Janet's bed, looking at the ceiling. Miss Weiss set her drink on her side of the bed and left the room.

Mandy scratched her head. 'Only four more days.' She smiled.

"I heard that it is going to storm later today." Janet returned to the bedroom. "What kind of storm? A thunder and lightening storm or.." "I believe the weatherman said just rain. But heavy rain. Perhaps we can go out later to prepare." She gently placed the warm cloth on Mandy's stomach.

The girl tightened her eyes from the heat at first but then blinked. "Sounds good to me. Thanks."

"You're welcome." She lay next to her. "Now that I think about it, it would be best to head out earlier. I don't know what the inventory of the kitchen is." "I don't either actually. I just need to get dressed..obviously." Mandy smiled.

Janet giggled. "That's alright. I do too. On the side note, I'm sorry that I pestered you in school about not being popular." She smiled.

"Ah it's cool. I wasn't expecting to be the center of attention anyway."

Janet rested her head on Mandy's right shoulder. "So. Are you and Frank considering starting a family? Oh wait." She blushed. "Never mind."

"No no. Don't be. It's possible, but it's rather confusing. Frank won't allow it anyway though." Mandy ran her fingers through her blonde curls.

"His temper has gotten worse?" She giggled.

Mandy hummed. "It hasn't. Or at least I don't think it has." She shrugged. "His mind is set on a solid no. He was nearly traumatized from what Riff Raff did to me and became..well..overprotective. My parents aren't the happiest of campers about it though."

"Mine weren't the most cheerful either when I introduced them to Rocky. But when we finally had a kid, don't ask me how Rocky reacted, they seemed to open up about it." She sighed, resting a hand on Mandy's chest. "You can't please everyone."

"Nope." She closed her eyes. "That's life. It's not easy. Oh. Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Do you still like Brad?"

Janet shrugged. "I did. Really a lot. But after the night that we ended up here, I thought he was just..boring. Frank and Rocky were so much more energetic. But yeah. Not so much now."

Mandy nodded as Janet closed her eyes. The blonde covered them both with a blanket and placed the cloth on her dresser for now.

"Hey." Mandy sat up. "Can we move to Frank's room?" Janet sighed. "Hm?"

"Can we move to Frank's room? I'm going to start up the gaming system."

"What? Frank plays video games?"

Mandy smiled. "It's my co-worker's. Come on." She motioned Janet up. "I can't carry you unfortunately."

Janet followed behind her, but tilted her head as she disappeared in Rocky's closet. "Having fun in there?" She asked, confused.

"Yep." Mandy walked out with a blue button down shirt. "I'm going to shower. Be right back." The girl picked up her jeans and closed the bathroom door. She sighed in relief as she removed her sports bra.

Janet scratched her head. "She's wearing Rocky's clothes? Frank must have hypnotized her to do so."

Mandy brushed her hair and placed it up in a clip. She put on her hat with her bra sitting on the edge of the sink. "Nailed it." She walked into Frank's room. "Enchanté." Mandy grinned.

Janet blushed. "Mandy?" "Yes?" "Um. Rocky's shirt looks nice on you." She replied, becoming anxious. "Thank you." Mandy turned on the controller and set up her player.

"Mandy?" Janet walked over. "Hm?" "Y..you don't think that I would stick out like a sore thumb if I wear my clothes from yesterday right?"

"Hm? Absolutely not." Mandy pressed start and began the campaign.

Janet held her breath and left the room to get ready. She came back and lay next to her. "You smell nice." Mandy smirked.

"Thank you." She rested her head on Mandy's shoulder and looked down, trying to resist lifting her shirt.

Mandy clenched her teeth as she was surrounded by enemies but escaped unharmed. Janet looked up at her and then down again. She huffed and crawled to the bottom of the bed.

"You okay?" "I'm fine." She folded back Mandy's shirt and kissed her waist.

Mandy sighed and paused her game. "Clearly something is not okay." She unbuttoned her pants.

"It's..just my first time being alone with a girl."

"That's not the reason." Mandy removed her top, covering her chest with the shirt. "What's really bothering you?"

"I..I like you Mandy." Janet sighed. "Well I like you too." Mandy ran her fingers through her blonde hair.

"N..not that way Mandy. I mean.." "I understand." She smiled. "And that's fine."

Janet moved Mandy's shirt and lightly kissed her chest. "I see you've tasted blood and you want more." Mandy smirked, allowing Janet full access to her.

Mandy tightened her eyes as she felt Janet's tongue along her breasts. "You're so small Mandy." "I know." She frowned. "But that's not a bad thing." She kissed down her stomach and pulled down her jeans.

She sighed and as her underwear was removed. Mandy groaned and held onto the sides of the bed as Janet's fingers teased her. "Janet." "What?" She lifted her head.

"Why are you cheating on Rocky? I thought you liked him?" "I kind of did and kind of didn't. I pretended to love him to make Frank jealous. I think he likes Brad now. Considering he's male."

"Make up your mind Weiss!" She sat up and put her shirt back on. "I'm sorry. I'm not really feeling sexy right now Janet."

"Are you in pain?" Janet frowned and fixed her underwear. "Not really. I'm just feeling depressed."

"Oh. Okay." Janet fixed Mandy's jeans and left the room. She continued to play her game in silence.

Mandy huffed as the game restarted and focused, while at the same time thinking about Frank.


At his home, the queen entered her son's room. "Baby! Dinner is ready." She tilted her head as Frank was fast asleep on his bed. "Frankie?" Her right hand shook his shoulder.

"Hm?" He opened his eyes. "Are you hungry? I made your favorite pasta." She smiled. "You did?" He rose his head with a smile. "Yay!" Frank stood up and followed her to the kitchen.

"Uh uh. Wash your hands first." "Yes mother." He left to do so and closed the door. "I'm sorry baby. This is all my fault." He apologized out loud to Mandy and sighed. After gaining his composure, Frank went back to the kitchen and sat down.


Brian lifted his head as Janet walked into the living room. Columbia sat up on the couch. "Hi Janet. We were just going to ask you if you wanted to play Yahtzee."

"Oh! That would be wonderful. Thank you!" She knelt down at the coffee table.

"Should we ask Mandy if she wants to play?" Brian passed out the score cards and writing utensils.

"I don't think she wants to be disturbed. She's going through a slight crisis without Frank." Janet picked up a pencil and wrote her name on a score sheet.

"I'll go talk to her." Brian stood up. "You guys can start without me." He walked upstairs and found Mandy playing with the lights off. Only the sound effects were heard in the room. "Mandy?" Brian asked.

"Yes?" She blinked. "Columbia and I are playing Yahtzee. Do you want to play with us?" "Sure." She said quietly. He sighed and walked over to her. "Come on. I don't want you to strain your eyes."

The console was turned off and he helped her downstairs. Mandy kept a straight face as she walked in the room.

"Hiya!" Columbia chirped. Mandy sat on the floor and filled out a sheet. "Hi." She softly smiled.

The groupie shrugged. "Who's going first?" "Alphabetical order is fine with me." Mandy rubbed her eyes. "But that means that you will go last." Janet frowned. "Exactly."

Columbia rolled her eyes. "Reverse alphabet order?" "Sure. You're up first Mandy." Brian handed her the dice cup.

She rolled the dice and managed to get a full house. "Nice!" Janet smiled and retrieved them.

Mandy began drawing hearts all over her score card, shading some in and leaving some blank. Inside the empty ones, she spelled Frank's name.

"Mandy?" Columbia called.

"Huh?" She lifted her head. "It's your turn." "Oh. Sorry." The girl rolled and placed two back in the cup, hoping for a small straight. "Nope." She shrugged and filled out a three for her ones. "Oh well."

She watched everyone else take their turns. 'A black tuxedo would be best if we got married. Who in their right mind wears a white one? Frank's dress would be black. We wouldn't dare play the basic card on our big day.'

Mandy rolled the dice and placed three back in the cup. "There's three." She rolled again. "Four." Her last roll wasn't that lucky though. "Mhm."

"That's the best four of a kind you can get though!" Brian nodded.

Thirty minutes later, Columbia had won the game. "I won!" She clapped. "Who wants to play again?"

"Actually, what time is it?" Brian looked at his phone. "Almost five. What should the plan be for dinner?"

"I'm not really hungry." Mandy stood up. Janet held her left hand. "You have to eat something Mandy."

"How about pizza?" Columbia suggested. "Sounds good to me. What kind of toppings does everyone want?" Brian dialed the number. "Um. Pepperoni!" "Just cheese is fine. Thank you. Mandy?"

"I'm not hungry. But thank you." She lay on the couch.

Columbia led them into the kitchen. "She really loves him." Janet whispered. "No kidding!" Brian huffed. "Just remain supportive. Alright?" "Okay." She nodded.

Mandy closed her eyes.


Frank began to eat his meal as his mother ate hers. "You aren't still thinking about that human boy..girl. Are you?"

"Her name is Mandy!" He snapped.

"Francis!" The queen scowled.

"I'm sorry mother." He sighed. "I can't help it. I love her."

She placed a hand over her eyes. "I am not going to hear anymore of this. One more word and you will never see her again for the rest of your life."

"Mother!"

"Uh uh. No shouting at the dinner table. Indoor voice my son."

Frank shakily sighed and continued to eat his pasta.


Columbia decided to turn on the radio and searched through the stations. Mandy teared up as the lyrics made her think of Frank.

"Not this song Columbia!" Janet hissed and changed the station. "Why not?" "It's about two people who are separated. It's called Chasing Cars." "Oh." She bit her nails. "Opps."

Columbia knelt beside her as Mandy started to cry. "I feel so empty." She sighed. "I know that abstinence makes the heart grow founder, but this is torture."

The groupie helped her sit up and smiled. "Come on." She handed Mandy her shoes.

"Where are we going?" Mandy wiped away her tears with her shirt sleeve. "Come on."

The girl rolled her eyes and tied her shoes. She followed Columbia out the door and took a walk with her down the sidewalk.

"Janet said I could borrow her car." "Okay." Mandy buckled her seatbelt and looked out the window. "I'd thought we'd poke around for a few minutes." She drove down the road to a convenience store.

Columbia parked the car and helped Mandy out.

"I..guess I am kind of hungry." Mandy lightly smiled. "I'm glad." Columbia smiled back. "I have to get milk and bread."

Mandy started to open up a little and picked up a chocolate bar, an energy drink, and a self serve bag of baked potato chips. Columbia found her and smiled. 'She looks happier.' "All set?"

"Yeah. Thanks." The groupie smiled and paid for everything. Mandy smiled as she took her first bite of the candy bar.

"Ew." They both looked outside as the rain was pouring down. "I say we make a run for it."

Mandy giggled. "Are you crazy?" She placed the chocolate in her pocket. "Fine." She ran out with her.

"I'm so wet!" Columbia shouted and quickly opened the car door. She huffed and grabbed a towel from the backseat.

"That's what she said." Mandy giggled and dried her face.

Columbia backed out of the lot and drove back to the castle. "That wasn't funny!" "What are you talking about?" Mandy smirked. "Are you?" "What? No! Get your head out of the gutter."

Mandy smirked and unbuckled her seatbelt. "Run to the front door on three." "One." Two." "Three!" They both shouted and ran inside.

"In here guys!" Brian called from the kitchen.

Mandy ran in after Columbia. She took another bite of her chocolate bar.

Janet suggested that they all watch a movie but carefully talked with Brian about which one to choose.

"You're just in time!" Janet opened the pizza box and handed everyone a plate, knewing that Columbia could change Mandy's mind.

Mandy blushed as the other box was opened. Brian and Columbia left upstairs to Frank's bedroom.

"I guess I'm a bit hungry." Mandy placed two slices of cheese pizza on her plate.

Janet smiled and walked with her upstairs. She rubbed the girl's back and sat at the top of Frank's bed.

"Lights! Action! Camera!" Columbia pressed play with the remote.

Janet was going to correct her but shook her head with a smile. The film started with a group of people waiting at a bus stop. A limo pulled up to the curb as a man stuck his head out through the back window.

Mandy rolled her eyes, giving Brian a nudge. He smirked back as she happily ate her pizza.


"Are ready for bed Frankie?" The queen cleared the dirty dishes from table.

"Yes mother. I am. Good night." He left to change into a silver nightgown.

"Good night baby!" She called.

Frank lay under the covers of his bed and sighed. 'Sleep well Mandy.' He closed his eyes.


As the movie ended an hour and a half later, Janet rubbed her forehead. "I feel like I just lost half of my IQ points." "You're telling me!" Columbia stood up with her empty plate then giggled. "Night Mandy." The three of them left the room.

She stood up and walked to Frank's closet. Mandy took one of his nightgowns and slowly sniffed it. She hummed and brought it to bed with her. Rocky's clothes where properly hung up, leaving just her underwear on. Feeling comfortable, Mandy lay under the blankets with Frank's nightgown next to her.
