Here we go.the pre-penultimate chapter! Another short one, but the next two are a damn sight longer, for all those of who don't like the shorties so much. Sincere thanks to everybody who reviewed, for all your kind words and advice.

We lay there for about an hour, holding each other close, not saying a word. We knew what we had to do tonight. Eventually I felt Riff Raff pull away from me and climb out of bed. I sat up and watched as he put on his spacesuit. I laughed with delight, it seemed like so long since I had last seen him in Transylvanian attire. Putting on my own suit, inhaling the delicious scent of the finest fibres of Transexual delighted me, knowing that we would return therein such a short time. For a moment we just stood and stared at each other. We had not seen each other in our uniforms since we had arrived. It was as if we had been playing roles and were finally allowed to break character, not only with each other, but everyone. Before either of us could speak, we were back in each other's arms, planting kisses all over each other, but I had to pull away.

" We can't do this now, there isn't time, we have a jobs to complete." Riff Raff nodded, stroked my cheeks and sat me down on his lap. He picked up my stockings and gently pulled them onto my legs. His skin against mine made me shiver, made me ache for him. I wanted to fall to my knees and beg him to take me again, but for now, the call of duty was more important than any physical desire. It was not as though I had never suppressed my feelings before. I zipped up my boots and checked my hair. The clothing instantly transformed our hair back to it's original Transylvanian style. Riff stroked his ray gun, took my hand and led me out of our room, to the theatre.

O/S: The next one will be penultimate, and is a little longer than this one, but I PROMISE that the final chapter will be longer.
