It was around midnight when a strange little group sat down to catch their breath on the sidewalk in front of Ceaser's Palace. The group consisted of Columbia, Magenta, Riff-Raff, and Frank-n-Furter. After the three
aliens had reassured Columbia that they really were aliens but that they didn't intend to eat her {insert snide remark about Columbia's relationship with Magenta and Frank here}, she had agreed to walk into the city with them
and show them around. There first stop had been a small costume shop. The others had thought that they might try to find a normal clothing store, but Frank was too impatient to get out of his spacesuit. At the store, Frank
really went wild. He kept the stalkings and garters that were a traditional part of the Transylvanian space travel uniform, but he bought a string of huge fake pearls and also some very interesting black sequined lace-up things.
Riff-Raff bought a shabby old coat, shirt, and trousers, while Magenta bought a costume labeled "French Maid" and Columbia bought a gold top hat, gold jacket, some colorful sequined boostiers, patent leather mary-jane
shoes, and thigh high boots. The woman running the store looked at them strangely but took Columbia's money without a single question.
"Well, all I can say to you aliens is that ya'd better be ready to help me make some money if ya don't wanna sleep on the street. I'm nearly broke. I only stole three-hundred dollars from that last foster home."
Riff-Raff gave Magenta a look that seemed to say, 'Shall we just dump this one and let Frank try on someone else?' but Frank and Magenta were both determined to keep this young girl with the group, what with Frank
needing converts and Magenta feeling a strange attraction to the teenager.
"Brother, perhaps ve should keep her. She might help us to 'blend in' vith ze Earthlings."
"Yes, and besides, I want to convert her. She is cute. She reminds me of a boy that I knew back home."
"Are ya' gonna stand around talkin', or are we gonna start dancing on street corners to make money?"
Riff-Raff stared at the girl again.
"That will not be necessary. Our house is parked not too far from where we found you. We will stay there, and in the morning we will attempt to find a town more suitable to our needs. I have a feeling that Frank won't
find many converts here. The people that we have seen all look like natives of Transexual."
Columbia loved that whole spiel so much that she fell to the ground laughing. Maybe traveling around with these weirdos wouldn't be so bad after all. Besides, she was starting to like the guy named Frank.

Frank, Magenta, and Riff-Raff had been on Earth for over three weeks now, and Columbia had been traveling from town to town with them that whole time. She found that she came to love Frank more everyday. Sometimes she even
shared his bed at night. He may not have been her first lover, but she felt like he was. Sure, she was jealous when he slept with Magenta or Riff-Raff, and once she slept with Magenta to get back at him, but she just couldn't get
over this crazy guy. It was one night at dinner that she first saw his true dark side. He had been a little upset that morning when the exterminator hadn't wanted to convert, but she thought that he had gotten over it by dinnertime.
"Frankie, I was just wondering, are ya gonna wanna see me in your room tonight?"
"What? What did you say?"
"I just asked if..."
"I will tell you when I do and do not want you to come to my room at night, do you understand!!!!!?????"
"My God, I was just askin' is all, ya' don't need to make a Federal case..."
With that, Frank pulled a huge whip out from under the table and slashed at Columbia's face. She leapt from her chair with a scream as he chased her around the table. Finally, she ran out of the dining room, up the stairs, and
into the room that she normally shared with Magenta. She sat down on the bed and cried for a longtime, until she heard the door open and Magenta entered the room. Columbia felt Magenta sit down next to her on the bed, and it was
comforting when Magenta's arms went around her.
"Columbia, someday you vill understand him. I vill try to keep you safe until then."
It was then that Columbia realized, no matter what he did, she would always love Frank.
