Summary: Hey guys sorry I've been taking my sweet time. I'm lazy there's no excuse for it lol. Any who thanks for my latest reviews it's always nice to see those -
SO, how stressed will Frank get when his only friend Magenta decides to test the waters of distance between them and also how will he deal with forgetting his girlfriend-dare I say it. He'll probably shrug it off but you know Frank isn't completely heartless when it comes to drama.
"MAGENTA! RIFF RAFF...EDDIE!!!!! COME QUICK AND BRING THE LAZERS, for the love of...!"
Riff raff and magenta who had been enjoying a nice cup of...well...something, Immediately ran into Franks room. Frank was stood on his vanity wearing nothing but green underwear and a pink satin night gown, various curlers sticking out of his glossy hair.
"What's the matter, master?" the word master sounded odd on Magentas lips and she thought she was about to vomit. Not once in her life did she ever think she could stomach calling a man master, least of all Frank. He'd always made her call him Frank anyway, Riff raff glanced at her curiously and she raised an eyebrow at him as if to say, say anything and you'd better start sleeping with an eye open.
Frank blinked at her rather indignantly before returning to his panic. "Look in my slipper, a spider, please get it out!"
Magenta got the spider out of Frank's slipper, it was a black widow. She handed the slipper to Frank who looked as if he were going to pass into a coma of relief. Riff raff took the spider from Magenta and placed it in a trouser pocket of his.
"Are you alright Frank?" Magenta mentally kicked herself, A: for breaking her rule of calling him master in less than five minutes and B: Showing concern for Frank when Riff was right there and he could use it against her.
"Yes I'm a little flustered is all, uh, Magenta can I have a word? Riff raff, if you could leave us please?"
Riff raff took the spider out of his pocket and ran a finger over it gently before walking out of the room solemnly. Magenta almost smiled to herself, she remembered when they were kids and walked and looked like that all the time, especially when he found spiders, they were his love, he had always had a huge love for animals and up until now she hadn't really acknowledged he was vegetarian like her. They just got through the day in a routine, completely used to the others way of getting through the day. She loved him dearly but feared if they stayed any longer she would lose the Riff raff she loved, for he was already changing and soon enough she may even lose herself. But one thing for certain was; she was the stronger out of the two both in personality and in position.
"Don't call me master, it makes me feel old, no seriously...it makes me feel ancient...please...just don't."
"very well."
"Oh and why didn't Eddie come and help me?"
"He's passed out Frank."
"Oh, I'll tell him to ease up on the port."
"Shall I get the mail?"
"No, no, I feel like I need a breath of fresh air, darling. Just do what you want for a while."
Magenta shrugged, she would like to spend some time with Frank but that would be a bullet in everything, but still she didn't see why she had to stop her own happiness for Riff raff who was capable himself of making himself happy...Oh yeah, because she loved him. Well she didn't feel like loving him now, she was tired already of this escapade and liked the idea of a Steve reeves movie and a glass of baileys followed by a long bath which she would hopefully drown in.
She sighed and turned her back.
"Magenta, its waste trying to make a man happy, so just live life like you would and soon he will come to you."
"Thanks Frank, I knew that all along but...you know me, I love as much as I hate."
"I'm an exception, dearest."
"Hey Frank I'd like to watch a movie with you."
"God, sweetheart, if you keep this up I won't be the evil boss I'm supposed to be, you know I have to keep a professional line. You're ruining my setting and making me mushy."
"Don't be silly; after all you forced me here you could at least have the courtesy to humour me."
Something changed in Franks look then he quickly kissed her on the lips and seemed genuinely sad. "Dear, we aren't supposed to be friends, I have a job to do, and I can't get attached. So distance yourself but don't call me master."
Magenta brushed his cheek, "Your an asshole." Her smile faded and turned into steel.
"Get out!"
Magenta walked out with a sigh, she could have really used that movie.
A little while after making himself decent enough, if that vocabulary even existed in Frank's world, he went outside smiling at the bright light and fresh air a small cup of tea in his hand. He loved earth more than his own planet, he had to admit it.
After allowing himself five minutes to figure out how to open the mail box he stood their searching through his mail. A welcome letter from Denton (apparently they greeted all rich buyers), a bill for rent and a letter from Columbia...
"Oh, how nice," he smiled to himself in his usual bubble head way, he took another sip of tea and noticed Eddie waving from the porch and it seemed to sink in. He spat out the tea and looked down at Columbia's letter again.
"I'm sure she'll understand, after all." He shook it off and made his way back to the house again.
He dumped the letters on the side and pulled Riff raff over to him handing him Columbia's letter. "Read it, things seem so much clearer when someone else does it." He sighed melodramatically.
Riff raff replied with his own sigh but none the less obliged. "Dear Frankie,
I guess it's time to come back to you now, thanks for understanding why I needed to go back home. My mum died a week ago and I guess it's not home here without her. So I'm coming soon probably in a day or two. I cut my hair, just so you can recognise me.
Love Columbia xxxxx"
"Deary, not only will I have to put up with two jealous lovers but also a weepy mourning one to! It's not fair! Why should I suffer?"
"It's your castle why don't you get rid of one, or both?"
"There's the logic of it, or...I could have both."
"I don't think either earthling would be willing to-"
"Look Riff raff the only will in this home is my own, I could use some extra relief anyway, there's just something a woman can give that a man can't..."
Riff raff straightened up a bit and handed Frank his letter.
"Speaking of women Riff raff, why don't you find yourself one, you're always lurking around here doing squat with your life." Frank walked away and to the lift up to his lab.
Riff raff was slightly apathetic to that comment; he'd been around franks teasing for a while after all. But still it was Frank's damn fault He was even in this stupid castle doing squat with his life! As for a woman...he didn't even want to go there right now.
Magenta was cleaning Frank's slab which was covered in grime and specks of blood could be seen all over it. She wondered where he kept the body he was working on, he only used the slab when he working on it.
"MAGENTA! Hello, darling." Magenta jumped and mentally cursed Frank.
"Sorry to break the news so soon, you'll be having a roommate, tomorrow is more likely. Remember the quirky red head that visited a couple of months ago??"
"I have to share a room with that walking twitch?"
"She's going to be very upset when she comes so you know, brace yourself for sleepless nights."
Magenta felt like banging her head on the slab but just sat there filled with an untameable hatred for tap dancing groupies.
"Though if you'd prefer to trade, so she can have your room and you can share with Riff raff that would be just as ok with me."
"I'll share with twinkle toes." It's better than committing suicide...or is it.
"Thought you might...but, if you ever change your mind, all you have to do is ask." He walked out and magenta kicked the slab in front of her, his pale face scrunched up in frustration. Can she have no privacy in this damned place?
