"MAGENTA!" Riff Raff roared.

Magenta was lay on the floor. Her skin was much paler than usual, her eyes closed. She looked calm and peaceful, as if she were merely sleeping. Riff Raff dropped the gun and crawled across the floor, sobbing. He held his sister's body in his arms.

"What have I done?" He screamed.

"Oh no..." Columbia said softly.

"Don't look Charlie!" Janet whispered.

She pushed Charlie deeper into her chest. She closed her eyes and tears seeped from beneath her eye lids. Columbia was silent, holding the sinister weapon in her hands and looking at it as if she had been the one to pull the trigger. Riff Raff was sobbing and hugging Magenta to him; kissing her face and stroking her hair.

"No, please no ... not Magenta ... not my beautiful sister..." He whispered.

"Riff Raff she's ... she's..." Janet couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Dead" Columbia finished.

"No! She can't be!" Riff Raff cried.

"You said you didn't care who the ray hit ... and now look what you've done..." Columbia said.

"Columbia" Janet warned.

"Killed her ... your own flesh and blood ... the love of your life..." Columbia went on.

"Columbia shut up!" Janet shouted.

"Its all your fault! You should of gave the gun over to me! You shouldn't have put up a fight!" Riff Raff said, his face shining with tears.

"No. Its all your fault. You should of gave the gun over to me. You shouldn't have put up a fight. You killed her" Columbia corrected him.

"Its okay my darling, we'll bring you back" Riff Raff promised to Magenta, "There is a way" He said, looking around the room at the faces staring at him.

"Dr. Scott brought Columbia back..." Janet said.

"He's given up science now, remember? Besides he said he could only ever bring back just one person. Me" Columbia said.

"We'll give up your life for hers if we have to" Riff Raff spat.

"You can't kill me" Columbia reminded him.

"Careful Riff Raff, Magenta wouldn't have wanted you to do anything rash!" Janet said quickly.

"She wouldn't have wanted to be dead either" Riff Raff said.

"Okay then. Columbia if you're not going to be helpful just shut up!" Janet said, she turned to Riff Raff, "Get Magenta back into the car, we can at least try to get Dr. Scott to do something. Columbia you stay here with Charlie" Janet instructed.

"I'm not staying with her! I'm not staying with any of you!" Charlie said.

"No darling, you have to. Magenta's very sick and we have to help her. Please just stay here!" Janet said.

"What makes you think I want to help anyway?" Columbia asked.

"You'll help if you like it or not!" Janet said.

Usually Columbia would have been devastated by the death of her 'best freind', and would have been rushing around screaming and trying to find help. Janet knew she was 'malfunctioning' again and hoped it would pass. She also hoped she could leave Charlie alone with her when she was like this.

Riff Raff carefully carried Magenta to the car and Janet offered to drive. They were silent as they drove to Dr. Scott's house.

"Thanks for trying to help" Riff Raff said eventually.

"Its okay" Janet said.

"I'm sorry it had to be this way with your boy. We had orders you see, and if we don't follow them then we could be killed ... well I could be, there's nothing they could do to Magenta now" Riff Raff said, tears running down his face again.

"Were you really going to leave me dead in space?" Janet asked.

Riff Raff looked down, ashamed, and sighed. He nodded.

"Yes. We never really liked you, but I know you're not a bad person now" Riff Raff shrugged.

"I still don't trust you by the way. I'm only doing this because I can't leave her dead" Janet said.

"I know. And thanks again" Riff Raff said.

"Are you often involved with Transylvania's royal family?" Janet asked.

"Yes, always. I'm a General and Magenta some times did some cleaning for the family. We were on a mission with Frank when we first met you. He wanted to make some people because of Transylvania's dying population, and we were ordered to accompany him. Incest isn't illegal where we come from because its another way of adding to the people, that's why me and Magenta were never afraid of showing our love for each other; we were used to it being no problem" Riff Raff explained.

"I still can't believe that you're aliens. There's still a lot I can't believe. But I know its all true ... that's the bit I can't get my head around" Janet sighed.

"Is this his house?" Riff Raff asked, for Janet had stopped the car.

"Yep. Come on" Janet got out the car.

Riff Raff carried Magenta again up the path and Janet knocked. Conchita answered.

"Oh, its you" She said coldly.

"Look, I don't want any trouble. I need Dr. Scott's help" Janet pleaded.

"Ha! That's rich. I don't believe Everett should even wish to speak to you" Conchita said, glaring and tossing her hair.

"My friend is dead and I know that Dr. Scott brough Columbia back to life when she died. I was wondering if he could do it again" Janet stepped back to reveal Riff Raff.

"Please let us see him" Riff Raff begged. Conchita sighed.

"Fine, but I still don't think he will want to see you, let alone help you" She said, but letting them into the house.

"Thank you" Janet said.

"Everett! Everett you have visitors!" Conchita called.

"Whom?" Dr. Scott called back from the living room.

"Here..." Conchita swung open the door to show her master his guests.

"Go away!" Dr. Scott said the instant he saw who it was.

"Please Dr. Scott..." Janet told him what she had told Conchita.

"Look" Riff Raff laid Magenta on the table.

"I have completely given up science! I told you that. You also know that I could only bring one person back to life, and that was Columbia" Dr. Scott said.

"A wasted effort if you ask me" Riff Raff said bitterly.

"I'm so very sorry. I wish I could help you but there is no way I can" Dr. Scott said gravely.

"I spared you life!" Riff Raff reminded him.

"I know but I won't repeat what I just said, Riff Raff. You will have to find help else where" Dr. Scott said.

"Where else is there?" Janet said.

"No Janet, he's made himself clear" Riff Raff said.

"I'm glad you understand" Dr. Scott said.

"Magenta will just have to stay dead, cold, alone..." Riff Raff lifted his beloved sister back into his arms.

"If there ever is a way - which I highly doubt - I will make sure to call you" Dr. Scott promised.

"If you have a way of communicating with me on another planet, then I look forward to your call" Riff Raff said. He left and Janet came running after him.

"Isn't there a way on your planet?" She asked.

"No. Being a scientist was banned long ago when Frank found a hobby for it. He didn't want anyone else to be better than him. Pathectic isn't it?" Riff Raff said.

"Lets go to your planet and give Magenta a proper seeing off. You do have funerals?" Janet promted as they got back into the car.

"Yes. But it will be very empty. Our family abandoned us when our parents died. That's how we came to be in under the Furter's employment, they took pity on us and gave us jobs. For that we promised to serve them forever. They shall be extremely angry that Magenta is dead" Riff Raff replied.

"You couldn't help that" Janet said softly.

"Of course I could of!" Riff Raff growled, "I killed her!"

They drove back to the house in grave silence. But when they returned to the spot and Riff Raff pressed the correct button on his belt, the house did not show up.
