Magenta made it through the long night of pain and nightmares. She awoke to her brother's arms wrapped around her waist, his hands protectively covering her stomach. She glanced out the window and instinctively rose to prepare for another long day of work. She turned on the shower and slowly removed her nightgown.

Riff must have dressed me last night. She thought to herself.

She stepped into the warm stream of water, feeling all of her wounds sting from the heat. After emerging from the shower, Magenta stood naked in front of the full-length mirror and looked at the numerous marks from Frank's whip. What was with the master lately? Where were the random acts of cruelty stemming from? She sighing and then slipped into her underwear.

Magenta walked around the bedroom, collecting her work clothes from the floor and then got dressed. Riff watched her with a small smile on his face. He couldn't help but stare at the stomach, wishing that it would grow bigger. Magenta caught his stare and gave him a sexy smile.

"Time for work," she said as she left the room.

Riff cornered Magenta in the kitchen several minutes later.

"Magenta, I don't want a repeat of yesterday. Do everything that Frank says, okay? EVERYTHING. Don't make him angry," said Riff, the seriousness never leaving his voice. Magenta nodded and Riff pulled her in for a hug.

Later That Night

Riff stepped into Magenta's bedroom and watched as his sister altered her work clothes. She held up a finished dress and then slipped it on. The stomach was too baggy, but she would soon fill it. Riff couldn't help but laugh to himself. Magenta looked to the door to see Riff Raff smiling at her. She walked over to him and fell into a romantic embrace.

"How was work today?" asked Riff.

"It was fine," answered Magenta as she leaned in for a kiss.

"I missed you," Riff whispered into her hair. Magenta smiled. Before she was able to speak, Frank's voice blared over the intercom.

"Riff Raff, I need your assistance in the lab. Please get down here."

"Later," said Riff, "I will make this up to you."

Magenta couldn't help but stare at his butt as he walked out of the room.
