Disclaimer: I don't own The Rocky Horror Picture Show
A/N: Are people liking this? There's only one favorite... no reviews, no follows. IF people review enough I might write a season 2 after season 1 is posted.
(The kitchen. Magenta is making sandwiches, which appear sort of evil, for lunch. As she chops up lettuce and so on she hums 'Life on Mars'. Eventually she sings the second half of it.)
(Columbia shows up near the end of this 'performance' and claps)
Columbia: that was great!
Magenta: Thank you.
Columbia: Are you alright?
Magenta: What?
Columbia: You look a bit sad and you were being oddly polite.
Magenta: I thought I was supposed to say 'Thank you'.
Columbia: technically… but you don't, at least not to me. What is it?
Magenta: Just all this nonsense about Bowie.
Columbia: I do get why you're upset-
Magenta: You don't. Just as I don't understand monotheistic cultures, you don't understand my point of view. You weren't raised on my home-planet and I wasn't raised here. You've got even less of an advantage because you weren't.
Columbia: Or maybe I've got more of an advantage. I don't know any bad stories about your home so I'm not prejudiced.
Magenta: Am I prejudiced?
Columbia: You hate me because I'm from Earth.
Magenta: No, I'm just like this to most people I see as inferior.
Columbia: You see me as inferior. That's you being Anti-Earth.
Magenta: For all you know, missy, I could just dislike you personally.
Columbia: Yet you vowed to keep me safe.
Magenta: I know. I'm starting to wish I hadn't.
Columbia: Why?
Magenta: Because you're the sort who's bound to cause trouble!
Columbia: I meant 'why did you vow to keep me safe?'
Magenta: Oh. Well, I'd rather not discuss it.
Columbia: Does this have to do with the secret I told you?
Magenta: Not really, no. It's more that I despise admitting my weaknesses to people.
Columbia: What does your promise have to do with weaknesses?
Magenta: I thought that Earthlings were all heroic types or cruel villains, like the sorts that end up in history books. All I knew were rumors. When I met you I saw my own fear and confusion reflected in your eyes. Happy?
Columbia: So you saw yourself in me and liked it?
Magenta: I want to be there for you in ways nobody could be there for me. It's terribly silly, I know.
Columbia: It makes you seem a lot more like an actual human, you saying that.
Magenta: I am human… I just grew up in outer space.
Columbia: So you aliens are the same species as me?
Magenta: (lying) In theory. We're not totally sure, though.
Columbia: At least it gives us another thing in common.
Magenta: Meaning?
Columbia: We're both human, we're both sorta lost in a way, and we both like David Bowie. Speaking of him, when you're finished putting together lunch I've got to show you some other CDs. There's so much great Earthling music out there!
Magenta: Is that so?
Columbia: Yeah, "that's so".
(Both girls burst into wild laughter)
