DISCLAIMER: I don't own 7th Heaven, Rocky Horror Picture Show or anything related to them besides the content and characters that I made. They are mine! I also don't know a lot of police business, so sorry. Don't own Brooke either, she's PaUlKaRiYaSgUrL's.
Everything was going pretty well for Kay. She got a personal counselor to deal with some of her issues and was starting to become more social with her family. The fact that she didn't hold in what she felt helped a lot. Every night she wrote in a diary what she was feeling, even if she told her parents already.
The only thing that bothered the family was that Kevin was swamped with work. Rebecca Dremner, the woman who was the girlfriend of Kay's would-be baby's daddy, was still on the loose. Somehow, even the state police couldn't find her. It was their belief that she had changed her identity and was being kept somewhere by friends.
Every night when he got home, Kevin would update the family and they, in turn, would tell them if they heard anything or had seen anything strange. When they went to bed, Kevin made sure the doors and windows were locked good and turned on their new state-of-the-art security system. Their house was now a fortress but with a crazed maniac coming after Kay with murder on her mind, nothing was too over the top.
Chapter 2: Midnight With Rocky
Since it was Saturday, Kay slept in until 9. When she did wake up, she did it with a big grin, remembering what day it was. Halloween.
This Halloween would be the first time that she was allowed to go out alone with her friends, but since the police hadn't caught Rebecca Dremner yet, her parents insisted that Savannah go with her. Actually, they first insisted that they not go out at all but after an hour of begging and pleading, they finally gave in.
She sat in bed for a few minutes in her purple tank top and matching shorts pajama set, reveling in her achievement. She didn't think they would trust her enough to let her go out but they did and she thought she knew why. They know that I've been through a lot lately and I've learned my lesson.
With a sigh, she reached over, grabbed her cordless phone and dialed Brooke's cell phone. After two rings, she heard Brooke.
"Hey, Kay."
"Hello. What's up?" Kay said, pushing herself under her covers once again.
"Uh… nothing much. I'm just making sure my costume is all ready for the dance tonight. You know, people from other schools can come to the dance if they are with someone from the school." Brooke implied.
"I know. I don't think it'd be good if I went. I mean, it'd be weird, my going. I just wanna let that stuff go."
"No one's talking about it anymore," Kay could tell that there was definite pleading going on.
"They will when I show up. Besides, Andrew's not going." Her smile grew even bigger.
"Why?"
"Because he's going to the Grison Theater with me at midnight."
Brooke gasped. "But… but… you're parents are letting you go?"
"Yes!" Kay squealed and Alia woke up. She looked around and got off the bay window, only to climb on Kay's bed and close her eyes again. "I can't believe it either. I asked them after they said that I could go out tonight and they said as long as Savannah is with me, I can!"
"Holy crap! You're so lucky."
"I know. Maybe things are getting better. Yeah but," she lowered her voice so if her parents were eavesdropping, they couldn't hear, "Savannah and I got these outfits like the movie and we're hiding them at her boyfriend's house. After she and him go to the dance, they're stopping here and picking Andrew and I up. Then we're going to his place, getting changed and going to see it. I bought toilet paper yesterday after school."
"I can't believe that they are still running that show. And letting people throw shit everywhere. It's crazy."
"It's the Rocky Horror Picture Show, what do you expect?"
Kay and Brooke talked for another ten minutes about Brooke's costume and then they hung up. After that, Kay changed into a pair of whitewashed blue jeans and maroon sweater. When she had her hair in bun, she went downstairs to find her father looking over papers in the living room.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Trying to see if I missed anything. Something that would tell me where that bitch is." Kevin said, then stopped and looked up, embarrassed. "Sorry."
Kay, although shocked that she heard him swear, kept a straight face and sat down next to him. "It's frustrating knowing there is someone who could do your family harm out there and not being able to stop them. We know that, dad. You don't have to be sorry." They looked at each other for a few moments before all the love became too much for Kay and she changed the subject. "Yeah, so, talked to Jake, lately?"
"Yeah, he called yesterday when you and Savannah were at the mall. I didn't tell you? Hmm… well, a lot has been on my mind lately. He said he was okay and he wants you to call him. He says that he needs to talk to you about something."
Kay nodded. She knew sooner or later they were going to need to talk. He almost killed her and that was a good reason to talk but Kay was hoping that they would be talking later instead of sooner. She could forgive him but not yet.
At a quarter to seven there was a knock on the door. Kay was upstairs, trying to figure out what she was going to do with her hair when she heard her mother say something through her door. Putting the brush that she was using down, she walked to the door and opened it.
"He's here. And, might I add, he's cute." Lucy said, giving her daughter an excited smile.
"Mom!" Kay whined but smiled back, mostly because she was afraid her mother might say that she was embarrassed to Andrew. She was, but he didn't have to know that.
When they came to the living, Andrew was already sitting on the chair across from Kevin. They were in silence but Andrew didn't seem to be nervous. Kay smiled at him and joined him on the couch, curling her feet under her. Lucy sat on the armrest of the chair next to Kevin and looked at Andrew.
"So…" Kay began but Andrew started talking.
"Mr. Kinkirk, I hear that you are a detective." Andrew had warmth in his voice and no sign of falter.
"Yes, that's correct. It's a good job. I like it and the people that I work with. There are bad eggs in the world, it's my job to either get them to obey the law or get them away from the population, so they can't hurt themselves or others." Kevin said, using the same speech that he did with Savannah's boyfriend, Rob.
"Like Rebecca Dremner." Andrew said.
"Uhh… well, Andrew, I can't really talk about th…"
"It's okay, dad, he knows." Kay interrupted. Kevin gave her a quizzical look and she explained. "Well, we've been going places together and I might need his help if she somehow finds me. I don't want him to get caught in the crossfire and not know why."
"That's strangely honorable of you but…" Kevin said but once again Kay interrupted.
"Dad, it's okay. I trust him." Kay didn't even realize the words coming out of her mouth until they were there but once she heard them, she smiled. It was true, for some reason she trusted Andrew, even though they barely knew each other.
Kevin nodded his head, closing the subject. Then, for the next three hours they sat in the living room and talked. It was mostly about school and family, but Andrew and Kevin delved into various sports-related topics while Kay and Lucy stared at them dumbfounded. Lucy knew a bit about sports, but Kay knew more about nuclear physics than she did about sports.
A little while after 10, Savannah and Rob came through the door with their costumes on. They had been at the dance at school and, from the look of the cobwebbed crowns on their heads, they had been named King and Queen of the Undead. They sat and talked for a bit before Savannah said that she and Kay needed to get ready and they went upstairs.
In Savannah's room, Kay was in front of the mirror, teasing her hair like she'd seen in an 80's movie and Savannah was getting out of her dead prom queen costume.
"I'm going to need to borrow a black shirt from you, I don't have anything like that." Savannah said.
"Okay." It took them a half an hour to get their hair teased and put on their clothes. They were both dressed in black long sleeve shirts and dark jeans. Kay had a pair of black stilettos on, but Savannah had regular shoes.
"Mine are at Rob's," she said and gave her sister a grin.
They arrived at Rob's at 11 and had just enough time to throw on their clothes before they had to rush to the theater. the showing was at midnight, like it always had been and they didn't want to miss it. Since Savannah was 18 and Rob was 19, Kay and Andrew didn't have to worry about not getting in to the rated R movie.
Rob parked their car in the parking lot and they made their way to the entrance. To Savannah and Kay's relief, they were wearing what at least a dozen other people were wearing. Each of them had chosen a different character to look like; Kay was Magenta, Savannah was Janet, Andrew was Riff Raff and Rob was Rocky Horror.
Once they were seated in the theater, the real fun began. In truth, they only watched about a third of the movie. the rest of the time was spent dancing, singing, throwing things and avoiding being hit by a toaster. Time flew by and before they knew it, the movie was over.
On the street, they walked to Rob's car, still laughing. Savannah and Kay sang, "Toucha toucha toucha touch me. I want to be dirty. Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me. Creature of the night," before bursting into laughter.
In the car, Kay and Andrew sat in the back, talking about what they had just witnessed. In the middle of the conversation, Kay looked over at him and pouted her lips before doing her best Frank-N-Furter impression. "I'm just a sweet transvestite, from transsexual Transylvania."
He laughed and flashed the smile that made Kay's heart skip a few beats. "That was great! I can't believe we did that, it was awesome!"
"Yeah, I know."
It was 4 in the morning by the time Kay climbed into bed but she doubted she'd go to sleep. Her restlessness didn't come from the movie or the excitement of seeing it in the theater. It came from spending the night with Andrew. When slept finally did overpower her, she saw his smile last.
Wow, that was a bit long. Sorry for everyone who doesn't really know what the Rocky Horror picture show is. It's a really awesome movie and that's' really all you need to know. Thanks for reading, please review! And I'm going to take animechick's advice and keep it this title, but I'm going to use Loper42's ideas about the title for chapter titles.
