Slowly... Frank N. Furter, a newly resurrected mad scientist, sat up. Soon enough he sat on the edge of the box/coffin/tank. He grinned a grin not unlike the Cheshire cat's. He climbed down from where he sat... and then walked over to greet the four people who stood by the door.

Anna fainted out of sheer terror. Her boyfriend didn't even bother to catch her. No, he was too busy glaring at Frank.

"How do you do?" he said smoothly, still grinning.

"What the hell is going on?" Hugo shouted.

The sound of his voice brought Terra back to consciousness. After a moment she rushed over to wear her father stood,

"Dad! It's me, Terra!" she exclaimed, tugging at his

He turned around, and then raised an eyebrow at the strangely familiar face. "Who?"

"Janet's daughter… I brought you back to life!"

"Was I dead? Oh, I hadn't noticed!" her father replied with disturbing cheer.

"People seldom do," Magenta muttered bitterly.

He scowled at the sound of her voice. "Magenta? Where's your, ah, brother?"

"He's dead, thanks to you," she spat.

"Oh? I don't remember killing him. Though I remember little of what I suspect was the last night of my life. It's coming back to me now… and I think he killed me. Not the other way around!"

At this point, Hugo decided to escape. Will and Mina grabbed his arms before he could even try to walk away. This brought them to Frank's attention.

"Who are you two?" he asked.

"My name is Will."

"And I'm his sister, Mina."

"What are the two of you doing?" Magenta asked, raising an eyebrow at the bizarre new outfits Will and Mina wore.

Will chuckled nervously. "Well… this kid knocked on the door asking for a phone…"

"Doesn't that sound familiar," Frank muttered.

"… and we went looking for a phone," Mina said with a sigh.

Hugo's eyes widened. "You aren't German! The accent was fake!"

Mina rolled her eyes. "Obviously. Very fake."

Suddenly, Frank saw his reflection in a shard of broken glass that just happened to be lying on the floor near where they stood. He hadn't realized that his makeup was a mess. Understandably, he was horrified.

"I'm dreadfully sorry that you saw me like this. Magenta, show them to guest rooms for now. I'll go get properly dressed, and then maybe we could have dinner or something."

Not in the mood to argue, Magenta obeyed.

By then, Hugo had given up on finding a telephone. He was too confused to argue or anything. In fact, he didn't even tell Magenta to stop when she began kicking his girlfriend until she got up.

"What on earth is going on?" Anna whispered, looking terrified.

"Don't even bother asking," Hugo replied.

Just as they left, Frank himself stormed off to his room.

Will, Mina, Helen, and Terra were left alone in the lab. None of Them had any idea what to say.

Finally, Terra spoke… "Let's do a reenactment."

"What?" Mina asked.

"I'm going to seduce Hugo and Anna. Just like my dad seduced my mom and Brad all those years ago. You three can watch on those screens… if you'd like. Helen, you know how to operate the screens."

Will raised an eyebrow. "When you say 'seduce', do you mean…?"

Grinning madly, Terra nodded. "Yeah. They're already mostly undressed thanks to you guys."

"Seriously?" Will asked.

"Seriously."

Chuckling to herself, Terra left the room.

"I don't think Terra has ever-" Will began to say.

Mina cut him off. "Let's not talk about this. Let's just watch her fail."

With Helen's help, the managed to turn on the view-screen. It took only a few minutes to find the right rooms. Mina smiled darkly at her brother. They exchanged a look that made Helen suspicious.


As Anna and Hugo were taken to their rooms, Terra went looking for her father.

The idea of being half alien sounded wonderful to the girl. It made her superior to many people she knew, for one thing. And it explained her unnatural talent for persuading people of things.

Very few people could resist that power.

Soon, Terra found her father in his 'costume room', touching up his makeup.

"Hello!" she said.

"Hello," he replied wearily.

"Do you want help with your makeup?"

"No. I want to know what's happened while I've been away."

Terra took a deep breath. "Many things. Brad and Janet got married. They had a son a few years after I was born. They raised us together as if we were full siblings. Janet never told me about you. I only found out after going through some old records and talking to Magenta. But we came here in the first place as a joke. We didn't know that anyone lived here."

By then he was just finishing up his lipstick. Once that was done, he stood up and looked at his daughter. Properly looked at her.

"You need a different outfit. I don't think you'll need to bother with disguises. Well, maybe for the girl."

"What?"

He grinned that cat-like grin. "You're going to seduce Hugo and Anna."

Her eyes widened. "How did you know?"

"You're my daughter. You're a scaled down female version of me. We're so much alike! And reenacting that night will be fun!"

So, they began going through boxes and boxes of clothes and accessories.

"Will this corset do?" Terra asked, holding up a glittering black corset.

Her father raised an eyebrow. "That is tailored to fit a man. Did Janet really fail to teach you anything useful about fashion? Some of the corsets are meant to be worn by men, some by woman. Here, I'll help you find corset that will fit you."

A little bit less than an hour later, Terra was ready.

She'd donned a sheer, dark purple dressing gown; a sequin-encrusted corset with garter straps; glittery gloves, fishnet stockings, and not-too-tall heels (she'd never had much practice walking in that sort of shoe).

And then she went looking for Hugo's room…
