Magenta
and Riff looked at Joey for a second, both dead silent. Joey just
stared at them for a second, trying to disprove what she had just
figured out.
"Them?" She found herself whispering. Why them?
Why the people who were after Tom, who she had sworn to stick by in
this adventure. Joey always said if she found her parents she would
make sure to get to know them and she was sure she'd automatically
love them. This was different, she can't get to know them as they
were after Tom and wanted him to go to a foreign planet and she
didn't love them, she was confused. On one side she wanted to leap
over to them and hug them, on the other side she hated them like she
had before, for trying to take her love away from her and kidnapping
her friends. As Joey looked at them she decided that she had to be
theirs, she looked like the complete mixture of both of them. She
sighed and looked away, wanting to cry but that wasn't her style so
hiding it back. Riff Raff and Magenta looked at each other sadly,
choosing not to say a thing before walking off slowly, to what Tom
presumed was to find Frank. Joey took a step forward, watching them
walk off, so many things running through her head.
She turned
around and frowned when she saw Tom look at her like she was crazy.
"What?" She asked.
"What are you doing?" He asked like
she was stupid. "You've always wanted to meet your parents and
get to know them, heres your chance and you're letting it pass by
you!"
"It's different, Tom." Joey said, looking back to
the direction Riff Raff and Magenta walked off in. "They're after
you and I'm here to not let them. We're on opposing teams. I
can't believe I'm saying this but I'd prefer you to be happy."
She said and looked at him, smiling sadly. Tom's face looked sad
and grateful until her random fell into a laughing fit. Joey rolled
her green eyes that she now knew she got from her mother.
"What
now?" She said, not sounding one bit amused.
"You called your
parents incestuous freaks!" He said in-between laughs. Joey rolled
her eyes and looked away, almost embarrassed. "That's not even
the best part! You want to hear the best part?" He asked. Joey
looked at him with a stony face.
"Shoot." She said, half
interested in what he thought the best part was.
"Your mother
is your aunt and your father is your uncle!" He said and laughed.
Joey rolled her eyes but cracked a smile. That was rather amusing, if
she was in a better she would have laughed.
"Okay, Tommy boy,"
She said, "Stop laughing before another lot of Transylvanians run
over to attack us." Tom let out a sigh that one does after laughing
lots and nodded. Taking Joey's hand and running to the door they
were originally set on.
Upon
entering the door they saw a tied up Chris and Steph in the corner.
Joey ran over to untie Steph, Tom shut the door quietly and walked
over to untie Chris.
"Careful guys." Steph said, "If those
weirdos hear you they'll kill all of us except Tom and then he's
a goner." Tom waited for Joey to respond but when she didn't he
spoke.
"Don't worry about that." He said, looking over to
Joey then back to the knots. "Turns out Riff Raff refuses to shoot
his blood." Steph and Chris both looked at each other and then at
Joey.
"Dude," Chris said, "You're telling me that they're
her-"
"Yes." Tom cut him off. Joey chose not to enter the
conversation.
"Wow," Chris said, "This is huge." He said,
looking at Tom then back at Joey. "Joey what are you still doing
here then?" He said, knowing that Joey always wanted to meet her
parents." She finished untying Steph before answering.
"Because
I'm not, Okay!" She snapped. "Tom said he'd stick by me and
I'll stick by him. If he doesn't want to go to Transsexual then I
can't!" Tom finished untying Chris and looked over at the door.
There were yells and cheers coming from out there, which means they
had captured Frank. They should go save him but Tom had something
else in mind. "Stick by me you will." Tom whispered. Tom stood
up, looked down to Chris and Steph and smiled, "Bye guys, have a
great summer, in case I don't see you for a while." He then
looked at Joey briefly then started walking out the door. Joey, Steph
and Chris exchanged looks before running to the door to see what was
going on.
Tom stood in the centre of the attic for a minute to
look around. Frank had been caught by a few Transylvanians and was
getting held back against a wall. He spotted his parents fighting a
few Transylvanians and smiled at how great they had been and what
great parents they were. Ah, he spotted who he was looking for. Riff
Raff was a little further to the right then Tom was and he was
commanding some Transylvanians around, something Joey would have been
good at. Tom smirked a classic Frank smirk as he strutted, much like
Frank again, over to Riff Raff. Riff Raff spotted him and did nothing
but watched Tom curiously.
"Hello." Tom said, once he reached
Riff Raff.
"Hello?" Riff said, looking Tom up and down, not
sure what the boy was up to.
"I'm sorry to bother you but I'm
trying to do something nice for my girlfriend, you know her, so could
you please grab my shirt here." He said, pointing to the black
material on his left shoulder. Riff Raff's eyes went from Tom, to
the shirt and back, they narrowed a little in suspicion. Hesitantly,
Riff Raff's gloved hand grabbed Tom's shirt. "Thankyou." Tom
said and smiled at him. Tom then clear his throat and yelled "Oh
no!" sounding monotoned, like a bad actor. Looked like a bad actor
too. All the Transylvanians turned to look at him, his parents gasped
and in unison Joey, Steph, Chris and Riff Raff said
"What!?"
"While trying to save Frank, Riff Raff caught me!" Still in the
same monotoned voice. "I guess I'll have to go to Transsexual
with Frank, Riff Raff and Magenta now." He said, trying to sigh at
the end of the sentence but failing. Joey now took a few steps
towards him.
"What is he doing?" she muttered to herself.
Steph and Chris exchanged worried looks.
"Don't forget to
take my girlfriend, Joey." Tom added, "We said we'd stick
together no matter what happened. Isn't that right, Joey?" Tom
said, raising an eyebrow at Joey to show her this was for her. Joey
felt like calling him an idiot for doing this for her, she had lived
without her parents for sixteen years, she could do it forever. No
matter how much Joey felt like killing Tom she couldn't help but
smile at how sweet it also was.
"Yeah." she muttered quietly,
looking at him. She then cleared her throat and spoke louder, "Yes,
Tom, that is right." She said, walking towards them. "I'm sorry
to disappoint you, General, but if you want him you have to have me
too." Riff Raff looked between the two teenagers, confused at both
of them, he shook it off quickly.
"Very well." Riff said
loudly, he pointed to a random Tranny. "Go find the Transit beam
and prepare it for take off." The Tranny nodded and walked off.
"Tom!" Janet called holding her hand out to him, Brad was holding
he back by the other hand, he and Janet both looked sad. Tom smiled
sadly at his parents.
"It's okay guys." Tom spoke quietly,
"It's for Joey. If they let me I'll come visit you and you can
come visit us and I wont be parentless, I'll have Frank." Janet
pulled her hand back, seeming to agreeing to let her son go. "I
love you guys." He said.
"We love you too." They said in
unison. They all smiled at each other before they started walking to
leave, they stopped to wait for Chris and Steph.
"Bye guys."
Steph said.
"Stay in touch." Chris added. Tom and Joey smiled
and nodded, both waving goodbye to their friends. Once they left
Magenta walked up to Riff.
"Everything is ready for take off,
brother. Vhat should ve do now?" Riff smiled at his sister. Frank
was now released and he walked over, putting a hand on both Tom and
Joey's shoulders protectively, still not trusting Riff Raff or
Magenta.
"Have these three all locked in separate rooms, my
darling sister." The children's eyes widened. Magenta turned
around to Perry, Imogen and Kimi.
"You heard him, take them."
She said.
"You can't do that." Frank spat at his old
servants, particularly Riff Raff. "Locking us in rooms! Tom and I
are in the royal family." Riff Raff smiled sinisterly at Frank and
took a step towards him.
"We're not on Transsexual yet,
Frank." Riff said, "You have no say over us. And this one," He
gestured to Joey, "I believe I have more say over what happens to
her then you do." Frank glared at Riff Raff who glared back. He
turned to face the group of three Trannies.
"Take them to their
rooms." Riff said to the group. The Trannies nodded, each grabbing
hold of one person and taking them away.
