Disclaimer: I don't own the characters to RHPS those rights belong to Richard O'Brien. I don't own Star Wars or George Lucas, but maybe someday they'll auction off his brain on ebay when he dies. I own the characters that I imagined, that's all I can claim.
Later, Frank put his original clothes over his break-out clothes so his parents wouldn't find out. Riff Raff and Frank were at home playing in the front yard with Keith sitting in a chair reading the newspaper. A sound and a bright flashing light emanated from Frank's necklace. The boys were shocked, but smiled.
"Queen Lavia is coming," Riff Raff excitedly said.
Then a tiny figure came into view sending a message like from George Lucas's 'Star Wars'.
"Whomever gets this message we are looking for you, but Queen Lavia has been captured. Please, hold tight while our detectives and spies continue to search for you, but the Kellkins have taken the castle. Be warned the Kellkins are looking for whomever is wearing the necklace and whomever is with that person so we have a secret code which is to be used. It is victrola and remember to not go with anyone who does not know this code," said the man.
He faded out and the boys glanced over at Keith who was still reading the paper.
"My poor mother. We must find a way to get back to our planet," Frank stated.
"I agree because this war has gone on long enough. We must reclaim the castle, set everyone free, and make peace," Riff Raff replied.
"But first we need to build a spaceship or make a teleporting device."
They pondered over the situation as Magenta and Columbia came walking down the street singing a song.
"My darling sister, we have good news!"
She ran to him with Columbia at her heels.
"What's the good news?" Magenta eagerly asked.
"Someone is coming for us."
"But they have captured my mother," Frank sadly said.
"We are planning to either teleport home or build a spaceship."
"Teleporting would be an easier solution because a spaceship could take years and besides we could get lost in space," Magenta explained.
"Maybe Rocky's dad could help," Columbia piped up.
They all stared at her.
"No adults are to be involved," Frank reprimanded.
"It's just that Rocky's dad is a college professor in chemistry and physics."
"She's onto something. Maybe he has books on how to teleport home or duplicate the machine we have on our planet," Magenta pointed out.
"Brilliant idea!" Riff Raff shouted.
"We have no time to lose!" Frank exclaimed running off towards Rocky's house.
"Keith, um, I mean dad, we're going over to Rocky's house!" Riff Raff shouted.
"Okay, but be home by six for dinner!" Keith shouted back.
When they got to Rocky's house, Phoebe showed them in. They entered Rocky's bedroom where an unexpected visitor was with him.
"What is she doing here?" Frank hissed.
"She came over to play with me. You want to play Monopoly with us?" Rocky asked.
"Yes, Frank, you can be the dog," Janet sarcastically told him.
She didn't like his attitude towards her and knew there was something different about him.
"We have no time for that. Where does your father keep his books on chemistry and physics?" Frank asked ignoring Janet's remark.
"In his study, but why do you need them?"
"We cannot speak with someone we cannot trust," Riff Raff replied looking pointedly at Janet.
"I trust her."
"Rocky, this is important because we got a message," Magenta gently told him.
"You did?"
She nodded her head.
"Janet, maybe you should go. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Fine, I'll see you tomorrow."
She left the room, but decided to eavesdrop on them.
"Tell me the message," Rocky demanded.
"Queen Lavia has been captured, but someone is still looking for us," Magenta told him.
"So are the Kellkins," Riff Raff added.
"You didn't tell me that."
"I didn't want to upset you."
"That's why our code word is victrola, but we cannot wait for them to find us because my mother could die," Frank explained.
"We thought of building a teleportation device or manipulating something to teleport ourselves home," Riff Raff added.
"I see. Well, if my dad's books can help then I'll show you to his study," Rocky replied.
Janet moved away from the door. She wasn't sure if they were foreigners or aliens with the exception of Columbia who she now wondered was in cohorts with these creatures. If they were aliens, she wondered if those were suits to disguise themselves for they could be ugly and green underneath. She ran home and told her parents everything she heard, but they laughed at how she had a wild imagination. She ran upstairs to her room with tears in her eyes thinking her parents would believe everything she had said.
Meanwhile, Riff Raff read through the books while the rest of them searched for books that would have the information that they needed.
"Any luck, Riff Raff?" Magenta asked.
"No."
"You're supposed to be the smart one," Frank commented.
"I don't understand this language of text."
"At this rate we'll never get home," Magenta replied.
"Maybe it would be better if we waited for them," Rocky suggested.
"I guess that's all we can do," Riff Raff admitted in defeat.
"What about my mother?" Frank asked.
"We have to wait," Magenta gently told him.
"If Riff Raff knew Earthling text better we'd be on our way home right this minute!"
"Need I remind you whose fault it is we are stuck here!" Riff Raff replied getting angry with Frank.
"I was just trying to help!"
"You helped by making a bad situation worse!"
"I didn't mean to!"
"Of course you didn't because you're the Prince and you can do no wrong!"
"Enough!!" Magenta shouted.
They glanced at her and glared back at each other.
"Let's straighten up this mess before my dad finds us here," Rocky spoke up.
They began to clean up with the exception of Frank and Riff Raff.
"Someday I'll own you and you'll have to do whatever I say no matter how farfetched it may seem. Someday you'll be on your hands and knees kissing my feet," Frank told Riff Raff.
"I'm not frightened of your empty threats," Riff Raff replied.
"It's not a threat, but a promise."
"Will you two stop bickering and help us!" Columbia told them angrily.
They started to help when Frank whispered to Riff Raff, "Do you know what I'm going to do with your sister?"
"You leave her alone!"
"I'm going to make love to her when the time is right because she'll realize that she loves me more than you for in a way you two will always be siblings, blood or not."
Riff Raff was furious, regretting that he confided in Frank about his background, as he pushed the prince away from him who was laughing. Riff Raff then punched him in the face and kicked him in the groin. The others looked up just in time to see Frank tackle Riff Raff.
"I hate you!" Frank shouted.
"I hate you too!"
They kept fighting until Magenta found a way to grab both of them by the hair.
"OW!!" they screamed.
"ENOUGH!!" Magenta yelled at them.
She let go of their hair and they stood up to face her.
"I expected better of you two! Fighting over something so petty is insipid! What does it matter whose fault it is that we are here or why we can't get home immediately?! I want to go home just as much as the two of you, but I'm not blaming anyone because I'm trying to enjoy myself on this planet until we are rescued and you should, too!"
They bowed their heads just as Phoebe entered.
"What happened here?"
She looked around the room when her eyes fell upon the two boys who now had fresh bruises.
"We were curious what were in these books when these two started fighting," Rocky explained.
"He started it," Riff Raff and Frank replied in unison, pointing at each other.
"Why were you two fighting?" Phoebe asked.
"Sibling rivalry," Magenta and Columbia answered for the boys.
"Maybe I should escort you boys home."
The boys turned pale as she took them by the hands and out of the house with the girls following. Rocky just watched them go. Phoebe went up to Keith and explained the whole situation to him as the girls went back to their house.
