"What are we eating for lunch, Mrs. Majors?" Crystal asked as they sat in the dining room table.
"It's pizza bagels with some potato chips and grape soda," Janet smiled. "And call me 'Janet', you don't need to be so formal with me. I did raise your mother after all."
"Okay, Janet." Richard said then, taking his plate.
"Hey, Janet, can I have a straw?" Mark asked with a laugh.
Janet narrowed her eyes to her son. "You will call me 'Mom'."
"Yes, ma'am..." Mark said quietly, a little nervously.
Janet smirked, she then got a straw for Mark, then patted him on the head.
"So, umm... Janet, where's your husband?" Joey asked as she poked her food a little, never seeing anything like it.
"He's at work right now... He rather not I discuss his line of work in public," Janet said as she sat down across from the kids. "But, maybe if he wants to, he can tell you himself."
"Oh... Okay..." Joey smiled. "Um... Did you know my parents too?"
"Who did you say your parents were?"
"Frank N. Furter and Nation McKinley-Furter."
"Ah, yes," Janet smiled, she had a hint of memory of the two Transylvanian alien doctors. "We ran into your father by accident... You see, Crystal and Richard, Brad and I weren't married when we found your mother..."
"You weren't married?" Richard looked a little shocked.
Sara nodded, she knew that was true, having heard the story so many times that she knew it by heart. It was her favorite story about her parents.
"Not yet anyway," Janet continued. "You see... We found her when we were younger and had raised her as our own child ever since. We also weren't sure when the right day would come for the perfect time to officially get married and live happily ever after. Though finally, the time had come when it was the time for our best friends': Betty Monroe and Ralph Hapschatt. They were having their own wedding and instead of taking her to my parents' or Brad's brother, we took Miracle to the wedding with us, hoping it would be good for her."
"Oh..." Crystal and Richard said.
"After Betty and Ralph left for their honeymoon, Brad and I talked about how I won the bridal bouquet which meant that I was the next one to get married," Janet smiled then. "So... Brad got down on one knee, surprising me, and he gave me an engagement ring and he said that he loved me and the ring was to prove he was no joker. We also decided to announce our engagement to Dr. Scott."
Mark bite into his cheesy bagel pizza. "I never understood why you had to go to that guy... I mean, what's so special about a teacher you had in high school?"
Janet heaved a sigh. "Mark, I told you and Sara a thousand times, it was because of Dr. Scott, your father and I first met. We had a science exam with him and Brad let me sit with him since I was a new girl..."
"That's also when Aunt Betty and Uncle Ralph sat together!" Sara chimed in.
Joey, Crystal, and Richard chuckled at this.
Janet sighed dreamily, resting her cheek under her fist. "It's a powerful and mysterious thing when you fall in love... Yes, Frank and his friends were crazy, but we still got married..." she then pouted. "Even if Brad kinda... Discovered himself..."
"Discovered himself?" Joey asked.
"Dad was a male stripper in Las Vegas for a good while, that's how we all thought he died, he took Mom to go to shows with him and one show night, everyone thought he died from a trapeze fall, but turns out, that was just a stunt double." Sara explained, not even sounding ashamed of her father's effeminate behavior, possibly due to the events of the Denton Affair.
"Yes, Joey, your father was so accepting of himself of being a 'sweet transvestite'," Janet added. "It made Brad come clean and open about him admitting that when he was younger, he liked to wear his mother's old clothes and make-up... He never even told me about it until before we ended up on Dentonvale with your mother and Uncle Cosmo."
"Oh..." Joey smiled, due to her upbringing, she was also not ashamed of her father being a panssexual cross-dresser. "Daddy's funny, huh?"
"Yes... Your father was... But unfortunately one mistake happened and your brother Sonny was born," Janet said. "N-Not to say Sonny's a bad boy, it's just... I wanted to have Brad's children..."
"It's okay, Janet," Crystal coaxed. "We all know how much of a 'playboy' Uncle Frank used to be. But he's changed now... He loves Aunt Nation more than anything."
"They're a perfect couple." Richard had to admit, hoping one day he would find his perfect special somebody.
Sara smiled, blushing a little at Richard's smile. "That's lovely..." she said before she popped a Lays potato chip in her mouth and would wash it down with her grape soda.
Mark rolled his eyes slightly, he was never that into love stories, but he actually wanted a girlfriend himself.
Soon, everyone finished their lunch. Janet took their dishes and went to go wash them. Richard decided to stay behind and ask to wash the dishes to be polite. Crystal also had a video game challenge against Mark now.
"Wasn't that an interesting story about how Brad and Janet knew our parents?" Joey asked, feeling fascinated by the lunch they had on this planet.
"Yeah, you'd think they were all destined to meet or something," Crystal smiled back, she was very happy that Joey was happy. "We'll call Mom, Dad, Uncle Frank, Aunt Nation, Grandma, Grandpa, LP, David, Sonny and Selena and tell them all about it."
"That'll be great!" Joey chirped, hugging her favorite big cousin. "I just hope I can sleep tonight with them being away at Transsexual after all..."
"Oh, you'll be fine, Joey," Crystal smiled back down at her. "You're a lot older now. This should be a breeze for you."
Joey smiled, feeling calmed down now. "Yeah, you're right, Cryssy."
"HEY!" Mark called from the couch, starting the Super Nintendo again, putting in the Donkey Kong Country video game cartridge. "We talkin' or playin' here?"
Crystal rolled her sky blue eyes. "You're goin' down, punk!" she chuckled as she went off to play the video game match against Mark Majors.
