If
you were there that night seventeen years ago this would almost be
dejavu. They had fixed the machine and it was looking good besides
the rust and missing paint, the only real difference between it then
and now was the thing with the colours on it was place on the side of
the tank but so the colours could still fall into the tank. It was
starting to rain and there was lightning behind them. Tom was
standing behind the tank with Steph and Chris on either side of him
and Joey was at the controls. Inside the tank was the body of the
transvestite.
"Throw open the switches on the oscillator
thing." Tom yelled at Joey, who pushed down two leavers then looked
over to Tom, leaning on the lowered leavers. "And step up the
reactor power input three more-"
"Wait!" Joey yelled out.
"which ones the RPI again?" She called out to Tom who rolled his
eyes. Joey was the one who fiddled with the controls to get them
working, she should know better than him.
"The circle one
that's cut like a pizza!" He said back.
"Oh," She said
and looked at the RPI, "Carry on then Tommy."
"Step it up
three more points" and she did. The lightning seemed to get
stronger now and the rain heavier. Tom went to fiddle with the
colours but stopped.
"Hurry up Tom you ass, we're getting
soaked here." Chris said, rubbing his arms to keep warm.
"I
know, but I don't know what colours to do." Tom said.
"Just
do it in order of the rainbow." Steph called out.
"What order
does a rainbow go in?" He asked and turned around to face them.
Joey rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath before
calling out the colours.
"Red." Tom turned on the Red tap and
a red liquid came out of it, pouring onto the dead body inside the
tank. "Orange." The orange tap. "Yellow. Green. Blue. Indigo,
no indigo! Okay now violet. Now turn them off." And so Tom did
quickly. He, Chris and Steph watched as the liquid soaked into the
body astonished at how it did so. All of a sudden a flash of light
and the weather was fine. Joey turned off the controls quickly then
slowly and suspiciously walked over to the tank.
They watched
the tank for minutes as nothing happened and they were all
disappointed and about to leave when the body suddenly jerked up.
Steph squealed and even though Joey didn't jump or anything her
hand quickly found Tom's and gave it a squeeze. Tom and Chris just
jumped a little. The body, or man now, started choking for air and
slowly tried to regain his senses.
"Wow!" Joey exclaimed, "It
brought him back to life! This machine holds the secret to life
itself and we fixed it." She said and gave Tom a hug, excited with
what they did.
"I know. How awesome is that?" Tom said.
"Totally." Chris and Steph said in unison. The man had gained his
senses back and reviewed his surroundings then stopped and stared at
the children.
"You know what," Joey said in a hushed voice,
not taking her eyes off this newly revived man. "Now that he's
alive I changed my mind. He's the hotter version of you." She
joked. Tom went to say something but didn't get a chance as the man
said in the most charming voice you've ever heard.
"Why
thankyou sweetheart," and winked at her, "You're not to bad
looking either if I do say so myself." Joey flicked her hair back
in a flirty manner, which made Tom raise an eyebrow at her. "If you
don't mind me asking, have we met before? I have a strange feeling
that I know you from somewhere." Joey smiled and shook her head.
"No, I'm Joey."
"That's a pretty name." He said and
winked at her again.
"This is Steph."
"Hello
Stephanie." Steph giggled.
"Chris."
"How do you do?"
"Great, 'cept I'm freezing my ass off." Chris said and glared
at Tom.
"And this hunk of a man is Tom."
"Tom, nice to
meet you."
"Pleasure's all mine, I'm sure." Tom said.
"I'm sure it is." The man said and examined his nails.
"And
you are?" Joey and Tom said in unison.
"Oh how rude of me. I
am Doctor Frank N. Furter." Then, almost as if one cue, there was a
large bang. Everyone turned around, Frank also got out of the tank,
to see a large spaceship was just behind them. The door flew open and
people got out. One was tall, really thin and his long, straight
blonde hair was both balding and greying, he had piercing blue eyes.
In his hand he held some kind of three-pronged gun. The female next
to him was shorter than he was. She had red curly hair that went just
part her shoulders, a very nice body, quite a fair bit of make-up on
and beautiful green eyes. He looked around late 40's, she early
40's but who knows.
The man stepped onto the rubble and the
girl soon followed. Frank seemed to take a step back as they stepped
forward, he had a look of terror on his face.
"Which one of you
is Tom?" The man said in a very unique voice, gesturing to the
group with his gun thing. He seemed very menacing. Tom stepped in
front of everyone to protect them, particularly Joey.
"I'm
Tom." He said. The man and woman looked at each other and smiled.
"Aahh, yes." The man said, taking another step forward, the girl
took a step forward and said.
"You vould be, vouldn't you."
Tom looked confused. He wanted to step back but he didn't want to
let these aliens near his friends, his girlfriend and this Frank guy,
who incidentally was slowly walking away.
"Is that Frank N.
Furter?" Frank froze in fear. He slowly turned around and smiled
sheepishly.
"Hello Riff Raff," Frank said putting on some
happiness but his nervousness was coming through "You look….
Older. Your sister, Magenta, on the other hand still looks
wonderful." Magenta couldn't help but smile a little, Riff did
nothing.
"Now that you're alive again, Frank, we don't need
the child. You're coming back to Transsexual with us, the queen is
sick, we need an heir." He spoke. Frank gulped, it seemed that he
didn't want to rule this Transsexual place. The kids just looked
shocked and confused. Chris and Steph were shocked that this
Transvestite was the Prince of somewhere. Joey and Tom, on the other
hand, were shocked and confused over why they originally wanted Tom.
"Though we will take the child too."
Chris, like the
others, knew they shouldn't let these aliens get Frank or Tom. He
picked up a big bolder of rubble and threw it at them. Before he knew
it was coming, it hit Riff Raff right in the stomach and knocked him
to the ground. Riff cursed loudly and Magenta bent down to help him
to his feet.
"RUN!!!" Chris yelled and everyone did exactly
what they were told. They all bolted like their lives depended on it.
At the look of that gun, their lives probably did depend on it. Joey
didn't get far before she fell face first over a big rock. She,
like Riff, cursed and started to get up but slowed to a halt when she
heard foot steps behind her.
"You, girl." The voice came from
behind her, she could just see the gun being pointed at her at the
side of her vision. "Get up, turn around slowly, then come to us."
She slowly started getting up when she heard Magenta say in a
frustrated voice,
"Hurry up girl, ve haven't got all night!"
Joey rolled her eyes and got up quickly. She turned around and faced
the brother and sister. As soon as she faced them Magenta gasped and
put her hands over her mouth. All the colour and any emotion in Riff
Raff's face drained. "Oh, Riff Raff!" Magenta sobbed. Riff Raff
slowly lowered the laser gun thing and both of them looked Joey over
from head to toe for a moment. Joey just looked at them with a weird
look. What was going on? They were going to kill and now they were
off guard and shocked to see her.
"Leave." Riff Raff
whispered, looking down at the ground. Joey stayed put. Riff Raff
looked up again. "What are you doing?" He said, "LEAVE! DO YOU
WANT TO DIE? RUN!" He yelled, his voice had a quiver to it and
though he was threatening her he did not hold up the gun. Joey knew
for some reason that they wouldn't hurt her but she ran anyway. As
she ran off she looked over her shoulder and saw that Riff Raff was
now hugging Magenta who had he face buried in his chest. What was
going on? Who were these people? Why didn't they want to hurt her?
Why did they want Frank N. Furter… and Tom? What the hell and where
the hell is this Transsexual place? And more importantly, what the
hell did they just get themselves into? She had a feeling that Dr.
Frank N. Furter could answer most of these questions.
When
Joey reached the car Steph, Chris and Tom ran up to her and hugged
her. Frank stayed leaning on Tom's car.
"What happened, are
you okay?" Tom asked frantically.
"I'm fine. They let me
go." Joey whispered. "They were going to kill me but then they
just let me go. Why would they do that?" She asked but knowing no
one could answer.
"Maybe they had the hots for you." Frank
said, examining his nails again. Everyone turned to him and gave him
a funny look. He looked up at them then back down to his nails. "I'm
just saying sweetheart, that they're brother and sister and they've
been going out since Riff Raff was in his early twenties or something
like that, maybe younger. It wouldn't surprise me if the sickos had
a thing for a child." Everyone ignored Frank and turned back to
Joey.
"What are we going to do now?" Steph said.
"Nothing," Tom spoke, "We're just all going to go home and
we'll meet up to talk tomorrow morning."
"What are we going
to do with the Tranny over there?" Everyone glanced over to him
again. Frank looked up, followed his arms and smiled, he seemed
interested in this part of the conversation.
"I'll take him
home." Joey said, "I'll put him in the spare bedroom, my um...
parents will never know he was there and I'll take him to breakfast
at Tom's tomorrow claiming he's a friend from out of town and you
two come over later."
"Sound's like a plan." Tom said,
the other two nodded in agreement.
"So let's split then,"
Chris said to Steph and they started to walk off. "Cya tomorrow
lovebirds." He said to Tom and Joey. Steph waved and the two waved
back.
"On the ride over to my house." Joey said, walking over
to Frank and the car. "You've got some explaining to do."
"Honey, I'm all yours."
