A/N Wow, that challenge thing went better than expected! I have the perfect jobs for all of your characters… but I don't exactly know when they'll come in (actually, one of them is gonna be in this chapter!). And I'll make sure to credit all of you when I use them! :) Opheliafrump seemed as if she wanted me to make sure of this, so I thought I'd let you know ;) (btw, that came out sort of offensive and/or sarcastic. I didn't mean it that way at all, I just wanted to let her know specifically that I WOULD give credit)

And here's a question, seeing as I said I was gonna keep these things interactive: How do you imagine Sonny? Seriously, I have a small idea in my mind, but it's kind of hard to write about him seeing as no one knows what he looks like… so what do you think? Tell me in the reviews! :D

One more thing: These chapters are gonna be a bit longer from now on (I have so many ideas for this story!). Like, possibly even up to five pages! ENJOY! :D

Janet hugged her son. "See ya later, Sonny!" she told him as she stepped over to the teleportation device. "I'll be back by tomorrow." she promised. "If anything happens, just give me a call." Sonny nodded, showing he understood, and walked over to the teleportation device. He typed in a few coordinates, then turned to his mother.

"You know how to teleport back, right?" he asked. Janet nodded.

"There's that teleportation device in that restaurant. I go there, right?"

Sonny nodded. "I had Nation and Cosmo tell the waiter there about Transylvania a few months ago. Just tell him Sonny sent you, and he'll let you in the bathroom. 'Kay?" Janet gave him a thumbs up. Sonny returned it, then pressed a large red button.

"Bye Mom!" he called as she disappeared.

Janet landed right in front of the McKinley's house. She looked around. The car was still parked out front, and the lights were on inside. From the outside, everything looked perfectly normal. Sighing, Janet rather cautiously walked up to the door. She knocked on it, and there was no answer. Getting a bit worried now, she rang the doorbell.

"I'm coming!" called a voice in a sing-song tone that was definitely not Nation or Cosmo's. The door opened to reveal a rather pretty girl with long, wavy red hair. She blinked at Janet expectantly. "Um… hiya! Who're you?" she asked cheerfully.

Janet raised an eyebrow. "I could be asking you the same question! Where are Nation and Cosmo?" She pushed past the girl into the house, and found it completely empty. She turned back to the girl and noticed for the first time that she was wearing an outfit reminiscent of a French maid uniform.

"My name's Penelope!" the girl exclaimed. She did not seem upset by the fact that Janet had just forced herself inside the house. On the contrary, she looked happier than ever. "I'm a friend of Nation's. She pays me to clean the house and what-not."

"Well, where is Nation right now?" asked Janet, looking around. "You see, I'm a friend of hers, and we've been a bit worried about her."

"We?" asked Penelope.

"My son and I." Janet explained. "My name's Janet We-"

Penelope interrupted before Janet could finish. "Janet Weiss? OMG, Nation's told me SOOO much about you! You're, like, her best friend!"

"I am?" asked Janet with surprise. She had never thought of Nation as a friend before...

Penelope nodded eagerly. "Uh huh!" However, she suddenly became a little less cheerful, if that was possible. "But… er… I honestly have no clue where Nation is right now. Their friend Nell Ansalong came to visit a few weeks ago. Cosmo, Nation and Nell all went out for dinner… and they never came back."

Janet's jaw dropped at this news. "You mean… you mean they're gone? And Ansalong was with them?"

Penelope nodded happily, unaware of how dangerous this could be.

Even though Janet had said she would not be back for at least a day, Sonny was extremely anxious and repeatedly checked the teleportation room to see if she had returned yet. Even Riff Raff, who was also very anxious, found the way Sonny was acting rather stupid. Things hit a new low, however, when Sonny told Riff Raff he was skipping dinner to watch for his mother.

"Seriously?" snapped Riff. "Janet even said she'd take about a day! I are you so worried?" he asked.

Sonny, who was walking towards the door, stopped and turned to Riff Raff. He sighed. "Because… well… never mind, it's a stupid thought…" Sonny looked at the ground. The king of Transylvania does NOT feel this sort of emotion! the boy reminded himself. Riff could not help but feel sorry for him.

"What's wrong, Sonny?" he asked, his tone a bit softer than usual. Sonny looked up at him.

"Riff, I never even met my dad. And now… and Ansalong's obviously super dangerous. What if… what if something happens to…?" Sonny could not finish his sentence, but Riff Raff knew exactly what he meant. He felt even worse now, when he remembered that it was he who killed Sonny's father, Frank-N-Furter.

"Janet will be just fine." Riff assured Sonny. "You'd be surprised how much she's been through. She's practically invincible."

Sonny could not help but smile at these words. He began walking back over to the dinner table when a guard burst in, looking incredibly worried. He looked around frantically.

"What's wrong?" asked Sonny seriously.

The guard ignored Sonny and turned to Riff Raff. "General, there is a woman outside the palace. She is terribly injured. We aren't sure who she is, but she says she needs to see you. You better come outside." Riff Raff gasped.

"Ansalong!" he cried.

"Follow me!" the guard told him. He began walking away rather fast, and Riff followed. Sonny hurried along behind them. After what felt like an eternity, the three made it to the outside of the palace. There was a huge swarm of people around something. Riff pushed past them and gasped.

Sure enough, Ansalong lay on the ground, bleeding badly from multiple wounds, and sobbing. "I need to see Riff," she muttered softly. Riff Raff knelt down beside the woman and pulled her close. He kissed the top of her head.

"It's okay, Ansalong, it's me, Riff. I'm here." he told her gently.

"I need to see Riff…" she continued to mutter. Tears continued streaming down her face. Riff Raff now had quite a bit of blood on him, too, but he didn't care. He pulled her even closer. "Ansalong, don't worry. You're going to be okay." he promised. She finally started to realize where she was, and she nuzzled into Riff Raff's neck.

"Riff…" she murmured softly. "I… I…" she closed her eyes, unconscious. Riff Raff looked up at the crowd of curious Transylvanians. He turned to the guard.

"We've got to get her to the hospital!" Riff Raff told him. He opened his mouth to speak again when a younger woman with bright pink hair stepped through. She had a worried look on her face.

"I'm the palace nurse, let me through!" she commanded to a passerby. She pushed herself through the crowd until she got to Ansalong and Riff. "Oh my!" she gasped. She put a hand over her mouth. Kneeling down, she expected Ansalong all over, before turning to the guard.

"Riff Raff's right, she's got to get to the hospital ASAP!" she snapped, looking very grim. Riff Raff nodded and picked Ansalong up. She was a bit heavy, but he didn't care. "Come on!" whispered the nurse. She then pushed back through the crowd with Riff Raff following close behind. Sonny followed behind them, his mouth hung open in shock.

"It's okay, Ansalong," Riff Raff told the limp figure in his arms. "Everything is going to be okay."

A/N So… I wasn't going to give the nurse pink hair originally, but then I watched Pokemon. If you know Pokemon, you'll get it xP

Okay, guys, I'm sort of confused. You guys all seem pretty scared/disturbed/etc. by Dark Ansalong (I'm just calling her that for now so I don't spoil anything). Maybe when you read it, she's scary. But for some reason, writing about her is completely fine. But you know what scared ME? Writing about crazy Macy from Insanity. Man, that gave me nightmares for some reason. xP But Dark Ansalong just doesn't scare me much. o_O

And there was Riffsalong. Rather grim, dark Riffsalong, granted, but at least is was there! The next chapter will have even more (she'll actually stay awake lol)!

I seriously hope you like this, BTW! :) I'm working really hard!

Penelope belongs to FrankieFan82. She's an OC posted in the review! She'll be in it more, too! And the other OC's will also be in this eventually, but I don't know when (though they already have parts, I just need get to their part of the story!) xP

ONE MORE THING! I can't guarantee anything, but I think I'm gonna be uploading chapters a lot faster than before. I have a bunch of great ideas that I can't wait to write! But I'm also busy with school, so I don't know how often it'll be for sure. Hopefully I'll update every two days or so. :D
