"I'm your what!" she screamed, pacing back and forth in the room.
RiffRaff looked at the ground, embarrassed and wishing he had kept quiet. She really didn't need to know, but it was too late to turn back now. He'd better come clean, before he lost her completely.
"Magenta, please, just listen to me. I…I need to tell you the complete story." Magenta looked at him exasperatedly, and plopped down on the couch.
"Fine, fine. Just hurry, I got to go soon," she said.
Riff sighed and continued. "Our parents, or your dad and my mom, got married when you when you were very, very young- just a few days old. Your real mom died in childbirth, and you were left with your dad. My real dad left my mom after I was born, and she raised me alone for two years. Then she met your dad, and they supposedly fell in love.
"Three years later, they got divorced. I lived with my mom, and you went to live with your dad. We went to different schools, until we got to high school. Since there's only one high school in town, and neither of our parents had the money to send us out of town, we were forced to go to school together. You didn't recognize me, but I recognized you. Oh, God you've grown so well," he smiled at her. She hesitated, and smiled back.
"Please, continue," she said calmly.
"After a few weeks, I decided to see if you knew me, or remembered me at least, so I asked you out. You said yes, which obviously meant that you didn't remember me. II wanted to tell you sooner, but I couldn't. I just couldn't. Magenta, I love you."
She stared at him, at a loss for words.
"Riff, I"
"No, don't," he stopped her. "I know what you're going to say. And I—I just don't want you to. It's alright. We have no right to be together. We can't. We just can't." He seemed close to tears. He softly sat down on the couch and buried his head in his hands. Magenta just stared.
My God, she thought. He really does love me. But we can't be together. Oh, he seems so sad and lonely. I bet he has never been happy in his life. But he seemed so happy with me. Oh, my God. Do I love him?
The thought struck her as impossible. She couldn't love him. It was illegal, and very dangerous. But then again, they weren't really related- by blood anyway- so maybe it didn't count. Maybe she could change her last name so they could be together.
Or they could pretend to be married and still have the same last name. Yes, that was it. They would fool the system and pretend to be married. That way, they could carry on a relationship and not get caught. And that way, they could live together.
That way, they could love each other.
"Hey Riff," Magenta said. Riff looked up at her. She came over and sat down next to him, placing a hand on his shoulder comfortingly. She waited a moment, and then kissed him. "I love you too."

A few years later, during one of Frank's gatherings with his friends from back home, two strangers appeared at the door. Soaking wet, they asked to use the phone, something about a car breaking down. These earthlings are so primitive. They seemed scared to be here, as though they thought we were weird.
They're the weird ones. They don't even have cars that fly, and they still use gasoline to power them, instead of the earth's own refuge. If they don't watch it, their planet will explode.
After they experienced our national dance they met Frank. Now, he seemed to really scare them. I guess they don't welcome transsexuals here. Our planet praises transsexuals, and yet they see incest as a bad thing. How strange.
Anyway, we brought them up to his lab, where they witnessed the birth of Rocky, Master's latest project. Actually, it was Riff's project, but Frank took all the glory. How rude.
Anyway, Frank got mad at Rocky because he intermingled with the guests instead of giving all his attention to Frank. Frank is very conceited, and jealous. But what do you expect with the Prince?
Then Columbia's boyfriend, Eddie, broke out of the deep freeze. Boy, did that get Frank mad! Columbia was so happy to see him; he had been locked up for quite a while. I, on the other hand, was kind of irked.
Seeing him brought back bad memories, of when Riff was making Rocky. Frank had whipped Riff badly because of his refusal to operate on Eddie. I remember the nights I spent rubbing salve on his aching back and the long hours he still had to spend down in the lab with the cuts still not healed properly. He was in so much pain. But that's too depressing to think about. Back to my memories:
Then Frank killed Eddie. That was sad too, and it really hit Columbia badly. But she died later, so it's all good.
After Eddie died, the guests went to bed. They didn't sleep so well, because Frank just couldn't keep his pants up. He seduced both of them, in one night! Then, as Columbia and I were going to bed, we saw, on the T.V. screen, the female guest, Janet, I think, getting it on with Rocky. It was SO funny!
Frank was furious. Then we had an unexpected guest. I didn't see him at first because I was preparing dinner, but he happened to be Eddie's uncle, and the guest's ex-science teacher. How odd.
Afterward we had dinner. It took everyone a little while for them to discover that we were eating Eddie. When Frank showed them the body of Eddie, everyone was so freaked out. That girl, Janet, ran to Rocky, and Frank was so livid that he chased her down to the lab.
Then he- or I, rather- turned everybody but myself, Riff, and Frank into statues. Frank told Riff and me to prepare the floor show, which we did. After it was over, Riff killed Columbia, Frank, and Rocky. I didn't mind that much, because we got to go home.
Of course, Riff got into huge trouble with the Council for killing the Prince Frank, but it all worked out…
