A/N: Hoopla everyone! And welcome back to another chapter of this little tale. As you guys (gals and others *wink to any alien transvestites out there XD*) may have guessed we are now coming around into the movies time frame so I really need to say that anything you recognize is not mine but the lovely, darling and amazing mad genius Richard O'Brien! *claps in applause fashion* with the legalities out of the way let's peep in on our little group shall we?

-X-

September 19, 1973. Thankfully Magenta's fear of Columbia being pregnant was not true but less thankfully was how sour the groupie's mood had turned upon finding out Eddie was not only a new house guest but also Frank's new favorite. The whole effect it was having on the groupie baffled Magenta and made her head hurt, one minute the groupie would be angry and upset because Frank had chosen to replace her then a few minutes later she'd completely change her tune and be angry that Frank had taken Eddie from her, it was all very confusing to say the least and in the domestic's defense she didn't understand what was wrong with having multiple sex partners.

As September started coming to a close Frank seemed to be pushing both Eddie and Columbia away, by November he had completely left them to their own devices and moved back to one night stands with anyone he'd pick up. With this development Columbia's mood shifted and she was almost her happy bubbly self again and Magenta was thankful she seemed appeased with having Eddie to mess around with, mostly because it gave her more time with Riff but also because she didn't have to listen to the whining anymore. Eddie seemed to be adjusting to life in the castle and as time wore on he completely forgot his idea that this bubbly little groupie with her red-pink hair and flashy costumes was the girl he'd seen a year before.

June 29, 1974. The morning had started with its normal routine for the castle dwellers, Magenta would wake at 7:00 exactly and get herself ready for the day sometimes taking a little extra time just to lay in bed and watch her brother sleep. At 7:30 she would wake her brother and walk him to the lift where they shared a deep kiss and a few longing touches before they parted. At 8:00 Magenta would come into the bedroom and wake Columbia sometimes having to poke her side several times before she'd get up with a groan and sleepily go to the bathroom for a shower. At 8:15 breakfast was set out on the table for Columbia, Eddie and Magenta before the domestic would take a tray of food and extra strong coffee to the lab for her brother then returning and eating her own breakfast occasionally taking part in whatever the human pair were talking about.

After breakfast Magenta would begin cleaning around the first floor, Columbia would practice her tap dancing while Eddie watched or sometimes played his saxophone for her. At 9:00 Frank would wake and have his breakfast brought to the lab, a task he always seemed to favorite Columbia doing, where he and Riff would stay nearly all day with the girls bringing lunch and drinks to them. Dinner that night is when things changed.

Everyone was sitting at the dining table eating the pasta and chicken dish Magneta had chosen to make, Columbia and Magenta were discussing something they'd seen in a magazine, Eddie was managing to get more than one word responses from Riff even if he didn't exactly understand everything he was saying. Suddenly Frank stood and cleared his throat making the others fall quiet and look at him, once he was sure he had their attention he smiled his Chester Cat smile looking at each one of them.

"I have decided to conduct a new experiment!"

Riff, Magenta and Columbia all exchanged looks finding this new announcement nothing new, Frank always called his little affairs experiments, but said nothing as Frank continued.

"I am going to create a creature, a living breathing human creature."

At that comment Columbia nearly spit her wine all over Magenta sitting across the table from her and the domestic looked wide eyed between her brother and Frank, surprisingly Riff looked unimpressed about the news most likely already knowing about it or figuring he'd have to do all the work. Frank looked around at the group his lips set in a tight line as his eyes pierced each one of them.

"Well isn't this good news?"

The group shared looks before Magenta nodded giving a small 'yes master, wonderful' under her breath while Columbia put on a fake smile.

"It'll be amazing Frankie!"

Seeming appeased with their answers Frank turned his eyes to Eddie who hadn't said a word making him narrow his eyes. The ex delivery boy flinched a little and have a forced smile.

"Like Frankenstein's monster huh? Cool."

Everyone else besides Columbia seemed confused by the comment but Frank just growled and sat down picking at his food as he watched Eddie an idea going through his head, he'd need parts for his beautiful creature and he knew just where to get some. As the summer months ended and faded into fall Frank began to favor Eddie again, getting the groupie riled up again because she had gotten used to having Eddie to herself, but one morning in January Eddie was nowhere to be seen anywhere in the castle. Insensitive as he was to his groupie's heartbreak Frank told them Eddie had left wanting nothing more to do with any of them.

April 16, 1975. Frank had managed to buy an old church just outside of town and was posing as a minister just so he could oversee funerals after which if he found a body part or whole body he liked they could snatch it without the townspeople being any the wiser. Of course like most of Frank's rash ideas this one wasn't going so well, either people weren't dying or he didn't like any of the ones that came through. As April faded into May Riff, Magenta and Columbia were growing bored of their roles as the church caretaker, the caretaker's wife, and a spinster girl but they didn't dare cross Frank and suggest giving up. Finally in late May a body came through Frank liked, the guy was young, tan, buff and blonde.

Riff looked over the hospital folder they'd been given and his lips twitched in a sneer like fashion as he made his way to Frank's side showing him the file.

"He died due to hemorrhaging in the brain that left him immobile, in order to reverse these issues he will need a new brain master."

Frank looked over the file then snapped it shut pushing it back into Riff's hands smiling as he looked down at the blonde corpse.

"That can be arranged."

Magenta and Columbia, who were still in costume wiping down the polished wooden pews, shared a look one in concern the other in confusion. That night after all of Denton had gone to sleep Frank made the trio retrieve the coffin and body. After lending a hand Columbia stood on the stairs of the church looking in the direction of the sleepy town.

"Collie come on we should get back."

Columbia snapped from her thoughts and quickly walked over to the siblings squeezing herself between them in the cab of the truck. The ride back was silent and somehow Columbia had managed to fall asleep on Magenta's shoulder making the domestic sigh but give a faint smile before looking at her brother.

"Riffy."

Riff glanced at his sister and seen the way she was lightly stroking the groupie's cheek as she slept and gave a heavy sigh.

"No Magenta, it would be a risk bringing her. Once Frank has made his spectacle of this creature experiment we shall give her the reversal potion and she won't remember anything that happened, it's too risky taking her along."

Magenta looked down at Columbia gently running her thumb over the makeup caked skin of her cheek, she'd known for months that her brother had secretly made a potion that would safely extract the Transylvanian DNA from Columbia and completely erase any memory of her time at the castle but it seemed the longer they were forced to be around each other the more she cared about the human groupie. Riff saw the sad look in his sister's eyes and felt his heart sink, he hated making her sad but this time it was for the better or so he believed.

"Please don't be this way my most darling sister, it's in her best interest she is human after all she wouldn't feel comfortable on our moon drenched planet."

Magenta sighed and nodded looking out the window as the sky became blocked by tall trees as they neared the castle. When they arrived Magenta gently shook Columbia making the groupie whine.

"Carol."

Magenta looked to see if her brother had heard the mumbled word but found he was already out of the truck making her sigh and lean down to gently kiss Columbia's forehead over the nearly nonexistent scar.

"Wake up Collie, we are at the the castle you can go up to bed."

It took a moment but Columbia's eyes fluttered open as she sat up straight and blushed a little.

"Sorry Genta, I didn't mean to fall asleep on you."

Magenta shook her head getting out of the truck then helping her out.

"Don't be sorry, I didn't mind it all that much until my shoulder went numb."

She smirked as the groupie laughed before hurrying ahead to hold the door open for the siblings to lug the coffin inside. Once they were inside she took a longing look up at the sky slowly closing the door until it clicked shut. Magenta gave her brother a slightly pleading look as she stepped out of the lift so it could go to the lab making Riff look at the groupie and shake his head but beckon his sister to him, she stepped back to his side and closed her eyes as he pulled her close and kissed her temple.

"Go be with her for now, try to cheer her up."

Magenta opened her eyes looking up at him a little sad before kissing him quickly then stepping out of the lift a final time glancing back as it moved down to the lab. When it was out of sight she took a breath and went to Columbia gently putting an arm around her shoulder making her jump a little then relax.

"What's wrong Collie?"

The groupie looked at her with a smile that didn't reach her brown eyes.

"Nothing just thinking! Why don't we go up to the room and relax your toes need a new coat of paint."

Magenta felt her stomach tighten but nodded and followed her up to the room pausing outside the door.

"Uh you go ahead Collie, I'll be there in a second."

Columbia paused in the doorway raising an eyebrow at her.

"Forget something in Riff's room?"

Magenta gave a small smile and nodded.

"Yeah I'll be right back."

Columbia nodded but watched her a second before going into the bedroom closing the door. As soon as the door was closed Magenta slipped into one of the other rooms and pulled a box from the corner quickly digging through it before taking a few things out and smiling.

"Ah ha there you are."
