Chapter Two: A Landing and A Greeting
It took many hours and many countless seconds of the four anticipating what it will be like once they land. They had sat in the middle of the lab awaiting the time of landing and dreaming of what it would be like.
"Once we land, I'm going to get a head start on making my man. It's all besoming a little more clear to me now." Frankenfurter stated searching for attention through his new found knowledge and answers.
"Well, I plan on finding Eddie. Who knows, maybe he'll come back to me once we're there!" Columbia said practically jumping up and down, only to turn and see a very sarcastic looking Frankenfurter rolling his eyes. At which, she returned to her seat with hands to her chin. Magenta and Riff Raff kept quiet though. They had no idea what to expect from Earth. Everything they needed was in Transylvania. Why leave? It seemed as though they were thinking in unison: 'Why didn't I leave like the other servants.'
After what seemed like days, but was really two hours, the lazy crew was jolted awake by a large thud and bang. They stood from their bored slumbers and stood in surprise. They had made it.
"Have we...landed?" Riff Raff asked quietly.
"Of course we've landed, you idiot." The doctor said in a low tone as if he wasn't really sure himself. As they walked slowly to the door of the castle, Riff Raff behind Frankenfurter, Magenta behind Riff Raff, and Columbia following five steps behind them all, they came to realize that they weren't in Transexual anymore. Riff Raff circled in front to open the door only to be passed again by his master.
"We've made it. Earth." He ended in a dull tone. "This is it?" He said overlooking a dull scenery of night. Dark bushes and a far off view of scroungy trees and a paved road sat before him. "I was expecting...light. And...fat people. Maybe they only come out when the sun's up. "He said turning to Riff Raff for reassurance, in which he only received a blank stare.
Within the next few hours, Frankenfurter made himself busy within his laboratory concocting many colored potions, believed to be important parts of the man-making process. Columbia sat in her bedroom pasting up a few more pictures of the long lost Eddie and dreaming of where he could be, all the while not keeping her masters love far from her head.
Riff Raff swept the entry way of the castle as if he hadn't done it in ages. Magenta lied on the banister of the entry way a few feet from him, watching his sharp movements.
"Why don't you suppose he asked us if we wanted to come?" She asked resting her head upon the large pole supporting the wall. "I had no plans of making a trip to Earth today!" She yelled hopping down and starting a heavy pace.
"Why do you suppose the master does anything at all? It is because he is in love with himself!"He said, ending in a light yell to himself. Magenta shrugged and stopped pacing, turning attention to the fairly attractive man sweeping. "If you are feeling tense, brother, I can make you feel better about yourself, yes?" She asked seductively, rubbing her hands on his chest from behind his slightly humped back.
"Sister. Sister." He moaned lightly rubbing her hand with his, suddenly throwing the broom to the floor and leading her to the banister, lifting her onto it, starting to kiss her neck. As the siblings engaged in what could only seem as unnatural, there came a large knock to the hollow mansion. Startling the two, they stopped in a pause looking at the door in front of them. Answering the door would never seem like a dangerous job. But on the strange planet, it could be anything or anyone. There came a distinguished voice of the intercom, the voice of the doctor "Answer it. Answer it." He said, and was soon out. Riff Raff approached and opened with caution, only letting half of his face be exposed. "Who is it?" He asked curiously.
"Your landing has brought us nothing but happiness, sir. Please let us see your master at once. We must meet him." Came the voice of a dark shadowed woman who, behind her, stood more then fifteen even darker shadows.
"Who is it?" Riff Raff asked again joined by a very angry Magenta who started buttoning her blouse again.
"My name is Annabella. And I am the leader of a very profound group. A group that celebrates the coming of the wise Transylvanian. We did not believe that the prophecy would be true but we admit our downfalls. Please forgive us for not believing. Let us see your Master, sir!" Annabella, a very demanding young girl said. She was of young age, maybe 17. She sported a very short bobbed cut that suited her dainty face. She, like the others, wore black cloaks and showed the lived for Gothic interpretations.
After briefly running the information by Frankenfurter, who gladly accepted followers, Riff Raff showed the guests into the large party room that had been built for the masters' very traditional 'fun' parties. Frankenfurter saw it very polite for guests to be within the company of a fashionable hostess. So he put on a very stunning piece of garb complete with red lace and some black trim. A large black cape-like cover (in case it gets cold) and some red pumps to match. Of course, pearls were the final touch which looked marvelous under his head of curly black locks.
"So nice of you all to drop by." Frankenfurter said warmly as he made his way through the pile of people and to the back of the room where his large throne-like chair sat.
"I trust you found the place alright" he said with a coy grin and a light toss of his hair.
"Please, sir," Annabella approached in minor terror. "We have been waiting for you for two years. And, might I say, the wait was very well deserved, for us. I speak on behalf of all the followers when I say...Welcome." And with that came a group wide "Welcome" from behind the girl.
Frankenfurter saw behind the girls timid personality and wanted, really to be welcomed the way it was done in Transexual. With frisky thoughts coming to mind, he addressed the crowd. "Please. All of you are very welcomed. There are refreshments on the east side of the room. Enjoy your stay." And with that, they hesitantly broke off into groups for the food and some good company. Watching her for a while, and Annabella feeling her body being watched, they locked eyes and Frankenfurter gestured her his way. She slowly went over, watching him carefully as if hesitant of his thoughts.
"It is such a great pleasure to meet you at last, Master. You are very much loved." She said taking his hand and shaking it lightly.
"You know," the man started, grabbing her hand and pulling her close to him. "You are more then welcome to stay at my castle tonight. I could show you my...transit beam." he said followed by a chuckle.
"Well, Doctor." She said slowly giving into his charm and reputation. "I would be very much interested in seeing your...transit beam. If it wouldn't be too much of an imposition." She asked, slowly leaning in more and more. After a long pause Frankenfurter spoke to their destiny.
"Shall we?" He said in a frantic pace, taking her hand and very quickly leading her down the red roll out carpet and through the hall. And for the rest of the night, nothing was seen of the two but it was rumored around the room that there were sounds of squealing and laughter. The night continued on with much jovial spirit, a little under the shirt action, and a room wide invite for more affairs in the future.
