Joey and
Tom laid in the king size bed next to each other, both panting.
"Wow." Tom whispered.
"Yeah." Joey said just as quiet.
"I mean WOW!" Tom said louder.
"Yeah!" Joey said
laughing. A little silence followed as Tom slowly looked over to Joey
and then sat upright.
"Want to do it again?" He asked
excitedly.
"Tom, no!" Joey said, giving him a playful push,
making him lie down again. "Geese, you are Frank's son."
She shook her head. "I would love to but we don't know when
they'll come get us…. Later tonight though?" She suggested,
just as excitedly as he had earlier. He nodded in agreement. Just
then the door opened.
Joey squealed and pulled the blanket up
to her throat. Tom couldn't help but laugh a little at the fact
that Joey, of all people, squealed.
"EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING!!"
She yelled. Tom felt like saying 'Geese you are Riff Raff's
daughter.' But decided not to as she would bite his head off.
Getting serious he looked over to the door, scared of who it could
be. There was a little laugh.
"You're lucky it was me and not
the general." Perry said, leaning on the doorframe. Tom and Joey
both sighed in relief. "If it was Prince Frank on the other hand,
he'd be applauding you. I don't think Magenta would care either
way." Perry mused to himself.
"Wait." Joey said, "You
know I'm theres?" she asked.
"Yeah," Perry said. "The
General and his sister told us a few minutes ago. Saying it was
better off we found out from then by some rumour. Lots of people were
disgusted but Imogen and I were kind of expecting it. Plus, who are
we to judge them anyway?" Joey nodded.
"Um… sorry to
interrupt your little conversation…" Tom said. "But were kind
of naked here!"
"Oh, sorry." Perry said, he walked in
and put some clothes on the bed along with a small makeup kit.
"Prince Tom, you are not expected to wear any of this but it would
please Transsexual if you did on your first time there. I will be
waiting outside when you are both clothed." He said, bowed and left
the room.
As soon as
he left Joey jumped out of bed and got changed very quickly. Tom on
the other hand put on his underwear then went to investigate the pile
of clothes. It was sort of what Frank was wearing when they first met
him. Corset, fishnets, heals, gloves and makeup. Surprisingly, Tom
found these clothes tempting.
"Joey…?" He said.
"Mmm?"
Was her answer as she came, grabbed the makeup kit and started to
reapply her makeup.
"Would you think any less of me if I were
to wear the corset, gloves and heals? With my jeans that is." Joey
looked up to him and smiled.
"No." she said, a little too
happy. "That would actually be pretty cool!" Tom smiled back at
her and nodded.

Riff Raff
opened the door to Frank's room swiftly, causing it to bang into
the wall. Frank jumped at the sudden noise then slowly started to
glare at his old handyman.
"Come on." Riff Raff said, not
even looking at Frank but at a painting on the wall behind him.
"Why?" Frank asked slowly as he would never trust Riff Raff with
a single thing again.
"You're needed." Another quick
answer, he didn't want to deal with Frank.
"Why?"
"Because." Riff said, starting to raise his voice.
"That's
not a good enough answer!" Frank almost yelled and crossed his
arms.
"Fine!" Riff Raff yelled, "Stay here why the rest of
us do the Time Warp and the travel time passes in speed of the song
while you sit here for 2 weeks, wondering where we all are." Frank
thought about this for a moment, while Riff Raff impatiently tapped
his foot, the sighed in annoyance but got up and followed Riff Raff
out of the room. Riff Raff always stayed a step or two ahead of
Frank.
"Wait."
Frank said as they walked. "You said two weeks?"
"Yes."
Riff said in a bored tone.
"I thought it took a month to get
from Earth to Transsexual."
"Well about ten years ago, when
we swapped the real Oakley Court for this ship using the sonic
transducer, they found a way to double the speed that the jets can
fire at."
"Oh." Frank said. Riff Raff said nothing and
there was a silence for the next twenty-five paces, the only sound
being their heals clicking on the floor, before Riff Raff said.
"You can get Sonic Transducer arm bands now too. Just press a
button and you're at Furter Castle. Only works around the planet,
can't travel from one planet to another with it."
"What?"
Frank said in disbelief. "The Sonic Transducer was as small as we
could make it, how did they do that."
"A new chemical found
on Trisexual, heomochlyl, has the same properties as five of the
chemicals we used, making them obsolete in the machine. With their
absence it can be made a lot smaller." They were nearing the
ballroom ones.
"When did that happen?"
"Truthfully?"
"Yes." Frank said as Riff opened the door for the ballroom for
them and walked though.
"I don't know." Riff said and
followed Frank through.
"Sounds like we're both behind the
times." Frank said, smiling.
"Yeah…" Riff said with a
slight laugh.
The two of
them noticed Magenta smiling at them like she had a good secret.
"What?" Frank said, frowning at her.
"Vhat are you two
getting along about?" She said, broadening her smile. It was of
great amusement to her to see Riff and Frank getting along civilly.
Both Riff Raff and Frank were silent as they tried to find a way to
answer. They looked at each other briefly before Frank turned to face
Magenta, pointed at Riff and yelled.
"We're agreeing about
how ugly he is!" An example of a really bad cover up.
"What?"
Riff Raff yelled.
"It's true, Magenta!"
"I'm not
ugly!"
"Yes you are! You look like… fifty years old."
Riff Raff started to glare at Frank and Magenta let out a small
laugh.
"I am fifty." He said in a low voice.
"Really?"
Frank said in disbelief.
"Exactly fifty."
"But that
means I'm fifty too!" He said, sounding like he had just found at
the worst possible news, which obviously made Riff Raff smile.
"Yes." Riff Raff said, quite evilly.
"And that makes
Magenta forty-eight… wow." He looked over to Magenta, then back
at Riff. "At least the two of us don't look our age!" He said.
Magenta couldn't help but smile.
"Thankyou, Frank." She
said. Frank smiled and winked at her.
"Magenta!" Riff said.
She rolled her eyes.
"It vas a compliment, Riff. You should say
thankyou vhen someone compliments you!" Magenta said in a
matter-of-fact kind of voice. Riff Raff rolled his eyes.
"I
guess you're right…" He mumbled. "Sort of."
"Vell ve
don't have all day for you two to sit here arguing. Ve have a
strict schedule set up by the Queen." Magenta said, walking over to
a few seats and sitting down. Both Riff Raff and Frank silently
sighed and walked over to join Magenta.
-
"Ooh,
Tom, you look to die for!" Joey said, as she looked at Tom in his
new clothes. He really looked like Frank now, especially after he
agreed to let Joey put on a little eyeliner. Tom smiled at Joey.
"Thanks, Joey." He said, causing Joey to smile back at him. Joey
looked Tom up and down one last time then practically came running
over to him and they hugged.
"I think we have to go now."
She said, nodding over to the door. Tom nodded.
Perry grew
a smile when he saw Tom.
"Now you look like a true prince of
Transsexual." He said, nodding. Tom smiled at him too. "Well I
better take you two to the ballroom now. Frank is probably already in
there." The duo nodded and off the three of them went.
They got
to the ballroom to see Riff Raff and Frank arguing over what one
could presume to be nothing and Magenta looking the other way,
obviously bored with the situation. Perry walked across the room to
join the rest of the Transylvanians waiting in formation on the dance
floor.
"What do you think they're arguing about?" Joey
asked, though she didn't really care.
"Something stupid, most
likely." He said. "It is Frank, after all." Joey nodded
as they watched the fight for a bit before Joey got annoyed and
yelled,
"Will both of you shut up!" Both Riff Raff and Frank
stopped, shocked to hear Joey's voice and turned around to face her
and Tom, Magenta did too. A smile, similar to Magenta's one earlier
began to form on Franks lips, which made both Tom and Joey nervous
and Riff Raff and Magenta to both raise an eyebrow at Frank. Frank
then turned to Magenta and whispered something in her ear.
"Oh,
really?" Magenta said, amused, as she formed the same smile,
looking at the kids. The kids shared a look, knowing what Frank
probably said. He said, and they didn't believe him at the time, he
had a sixth sense to be able to tell if people are virgins or not.
Riff Raff frowned.
"What?" He asked. Frank, not taking his
eyes off the kids at all simply said,
"They've done it." A
cold shiver went through both Tom and Joey as Riff Raff slowly looked
at them. Though all the Transylvanians were talking, the whole room
felt silent to Joey and Tom as the three adults looked at them.
"What?" Riff Raff managed to spit out after a few minutes.
"Not long ago either." Frank said.
"How nice for them."
Magenta said, cocking her head slightly as she looked at them.
"Oookkaayy." Joey said, outstretching the word as she took a step
forward. "Before I find myself completely embarrassed, why don't
we get on with it hmm? The Time Warp, can we finally find out what
that is?"
"Yeah." Tom said, "That's a more comfortable
conversation." Magenta and Frank looked at each other and smiled
for a second before turning and nodding while Riff Raff really did
nothing besides turning to look at the group of Transylvanians on the
other side of the room.
"Vell…" Magenta said, trying to
find the right wording. "Ve use it vhen ve have to travel long
distances, or at parties for fun." She said. She then gave Riff a
slight nudge begging him to take over. She didn't really know the
technicals about it, only that it was fun. He slowly looked over to
Joey and Tom.
"It does almost what it's name depicts. It
helps us warp through time, or at least makes time go past at an
extraordinary speed. We can make the two weeks of this travel pass in
a mere five minutes or so." Joey and Tom nodded, listening
intently, both being science majors they found this intriguing.
"Okay, so we know what it does." Tom said, "But how does it do
it, how does it work?"
"It's a dance." Frank said,
smiling a little. Just then a clock began to chime. Bang, Bang.
"A dance?" Joey scoffed Bang, Bang. "I highly doubt
that." Bang, Bang. Magenta and Riff looked over to each
other, both smiling sinisterly. Bang! Music started play out
of nowhere as Riff Raff made his way into the middle of the room.
"It's astounding…"
