A/N: This is my second story on here. I hope y'all like it. I've written a lot of it already, hence the reason why so many chapters will be up in a short time. This is semi-based on "The Terrible Mix Up" by An Anonymous Soul over on the Rocky Horror page. READ IT! Thanks to Tara, Joelle, Tessa, and Ravie for reading this. Rate and review please!
Chapter 1: Fishnets, TV, and Freaky Friday- Oh my!
It started off as a normal day in the loft. Mark had been off filming in Central Park for most of the day. Roger and Mimi had spent most of the day in Roger's bedroom. Maureen had been with Joanne, planning her latest protest. After Mark had come back from filming that afternoon, everyone had started to wonder where Collins was. He had said that he would only be gone for a couple minutes, but it was much longer.
"Hey, I wonder where Collins is. He said that he had a surprise for us," Mark said.
"I hope it's some food. I haven't had anything to eat besides beer and…yeah, that's basically it," Roger retorted.
"I hope nothing happened to him. It can be pretty dangerous-" Mimi was cut off by Collins bursting into the loft with an old, bent up television set in his hands.
"Collins! Where did you get that TV?" Maureen asked.
"You know that new shop that opened down the street from here? Well, they had a used TV for sale, so I decided to go check it out. I didn't have enough money to buy it, but the manager of the store gave it to me for free. He seemed pretty eager to get rid of the thing, but as far as I can tell, it works" Collins explained.
"Well, let's plug that baby in and start watching some TV" Maureen exclaimed.
Setting up the television set took far longer than Maureen had planned, however. The wires were all tangled up, and once they got the TV plugged in, all they saw was static.
"Well, this sucks. What good is a TV if we can't get it to work?" Roger sulked.
"Forget you guys. I'm going to try on a new pair of fishnets that I bought yesterday," Mimi said
"Mimi, where did you get that money?" Roger asked.
"At work," Mimi replied.
"And you spent it on fishnets?"
"Yeah. You got a problem with that?"
"We're starving Why don't you buy us some food?"
"They looked really cute in the store…"
"Forget it. Mark, do we have any aluminum foil?" Roger asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"If we put some aluminum foil on the antennas of the TV, we'll get better reception and we'll hopefully be able to actually see something for a change."
"Oh. Well then, why don't you get the aluminum foil and put some on the antennas?"
Roger proceeded to do just that as Mark fiddled with the TV's antennas. After a couple minutes, the TV started to work.
"Hey, Freaky Friday is on" Mark noticed.
"Freaky Friday? I love that movie" Mimi exclaimed. She emerged out of her room in her new fishnets and a black low-cut skirt, which was a favorite of Roger's.
As Mimi came out of her room, the reception on the TV became static again.
"What the fuck?" Roger exclaimed. "Mimi, go back into your room again."
As soon as Mimi entered her room, the reception on the TV improved.
"I don't want to have a TV in the loft if I can't even watch it Here, let me help," Mimi offered. Mimi proved to be more of a hindrance, though, when she tripped over the cord of the TV in her stiletto heels.
"Great. Now we're going to have to plug the TV back in again, and now it'll probably have more static. Thanks a lot, Mimi. Mimi…are you all right?" Mark asked.
Mimi was clearly not all right, as she had just passed out onto the floor of the loft.
