Disclaimer: I don't own anything Rocky Horror related, its all Twentieth Century Foxes and The lovely Richard O'Brien's :)! Joey, Tom, Steph, Chris and a few others are mine but that's it, everything else are the creations of the wonderful Ritz.
Author's Note: Thankyou for all the wonderful and encouraging reviews! The updates are going to slow down a bit now due to school things but as I love this story I shall try to update once a week and don't worry coz the holidays are in a few weeks too. Enjoy the chapter!
The rain seemed to start again while they were driving home. The weather was peculiar tonight, which suited the night itself perfectly. Joey was in the front with Tom, who was driving, and Frank was in the back, lying across all the seats.
"First things first," Joey said, "Who are you and where are you and those two weirdo's from?"
"I am Doctor Frank N. Furter, like I said but I left out the fact that I was the prince of a planet called Transsexual, in the galaxy of Transylvania and those two used to be my servants while I was on a mission here." Frank said in a monotone as if it was no big deal.
"I told you aliens exist!" Joey yelled and pointed at Tom. Tom just ignored Joey.
"Wait, use to be your servants, what happened?" Tom asked, looking at Frank through his review mirror. The guy really did look a lot like him. Frank fidgeted a little and sighed.
"Riff Raff killed me and they went home."
"He killed you?" Joey yelled again.
"Joey stop yelling, you're too excited." Tom said, "And you can't tell me that you're surprised that he killed Frank, can I call you Frank?"
"Yes."
"Cool." Joey gave Tom a glare before asking Frank another question.
"What did they kill you with?" Joey asked.
"That exact laser he had today." Frank said. Joey and Tom exchanged worried looks.
"Why would they kill their prince?" Tom asked.
"Well that's a long story and you'll just want me to repeat it to your two friends tomorrow so we'll save that for then."
"Okay, just one or two more questions." Joey said, "Like why did they want you today?"
"And why did they want me?" Tom added. Frank sighed again.
"Well they said that Mummy is-" Tom and Joey were trying to stiffen laughter at the way he called his mother "Mummy" "Do you two want to hear my answer?"
"Yeah…" They said together.
"Then shut up and listen."
"Sorry." Again in unison but with a sad tone.
"Okay then, as I was saying Riff Raff said Mummy was ill so they needed the heir. I don't know why they wanted little Tommy boy though."
"Well, why didn't you want to go back then? You'll be ruling a planet, do you realise how much power you'll have?" Joey said, her mouth twitched slightly as she imagine how much power you'd have being a king or queen of a whole planet.
"I don't wasn't to be king." Frank said. Joey looked absolutely disgusted so Tom spoke before she could say anything.
"Why?" He said.
"I prefer being the fun loving prince." Frank said, "I still have power being prince and I get any man or woman I want. Being king comes with too much responsibility and I won't have time to do whatever I feel like." Tom nodded, he understood and Joey shrugged showing that she kind of understood.
"How long had you been dead for?" Joey asked.
"Judging by how Riff Raff and Magenta looks, somewhere between ten and twenty years."
"Wow." Joey and Tom said in unison.
"I know." Frank said and nodded. "Now, is that all your questions?" He asked.
"For now." Joey answered.
Soon after they reached Joey's house, all the lights were out.
"What's the time?" She asked. Tom looked at the time on the dashboard.
"Ten past twelve."
"Okay, I should be safe, Im not that late." She leaned over and kissed Tom on the lips. "Cya tomorrow."
"Cya at eight. Oh and Joey, you forgot this." He held up the sign she took from the castle.
"Ooh, thanks!" She said and took it. Frank raised an eyebrow.
"You stole my sign?" Frank said.
"It's mine now!" Joey said and held it closer to her protectively. Tom couldn't help but laugh.
Joey and Frank got out of the car and walked up to the front door. Joey got the spare key out from under the doormat.
"Now we're gonna have to be very quiet." Joey whispered. "My mum and dad can't know I brought a transvestite alien prince doctor thing home." Frank laughed.
"Yeah, you don't want them to get the wrong idea." He said.
"You wish." Joey scoffed.
"So do you."
"Yeah, I kind of do." She whispered and opened the front door. She stepped aside to let Frank in first then she followed him in. She closed the door very quietly behind her.
Joey's house was very prim and proper, the exact opposite of what Frank would expect from Joey. Everything was yellow, pink and pale blue and was very cutesy. Joey scowled as she looked around
"How…. Quaint." Frank said, looking just as disgusted as Joey.
"To say the least." Joey said and rolled her eyes. "This way." She whispered and gestured for Frank to follow her up the stairs.
She led him to the spare room, which was decorated like all the other rooms. The room was yellow with a white border in the middle of the wall. There was a double bed in the middle of the room and two bedside tables, one with a lamp on it and the other a sheep ordainment.
"This is where you will be staying tonight." Joey whispered.
"Is your whole house decorated like this?" Frank asked quietly. He walked over and picked up the little sheep ordainment and examined it, it was way too cutesy.
"No," Joey said, still in a hushed voice, "My rooms dark blue and instead of a whole bunch of ordainments I have candles, books and manuscript paper everywhere."
"You seem like the opposite of your parents with taste."
"That's probably because they're not my parents. I was adopted."
"Oh." Frank said, he put the sheep down.
"Yeah… Well… I'll come get you tomorrow morning. Do not leave this room, under any circumstances." Joey commanded. Frank pouted, he looked very cute.
"Aw, not even to come have some fun with you?" He asked with a disappointed tone. Joey laughed.
"No, particularly not for that." She said, "I'll bring you some clothes in the morning… and I guess you'll want make up too." Frank smiled and nodded. "Good night Frank."
"Goodnight sweetheart." Frank said. Joey smiled sweetly and left the room, closing the door behind her.
Joey liked Frank, he joined the small group of people who understood her. Chris and Steph liked her but they didn't get her. Only Frank and Tom really seemed to get her. Maybe Joey and Tom were Transylvanians…. Nah…. But one can dream, can't they?
