"I'm telling you Cosmo it had to be her, she knew who mother was and she said her father left before she was born."
Riff paused in walking to his shared room hearing the siblings arguing in hushed voices in the bathroom. Stepping carefully to avoid spots on the floor that creaked Riff made his way to the door and peeked inside looking down at once as he found Nation standing in her undergarments with her hands in her hips. He heard Cosmo take a step closer to her then a small sound like a sigh and a purr making Riff glance up and see Cosmo had one hand on her cheek and the other on her side.
"It's okay Nation, if that's all she knew we can get by with that we aren't at the palace often enough for her to see us, just relax."
Nation didn't say anything at first but after looking into her brother's eyes for a long moment she nodded moving so her arms were around his neck.
"Alright."
He smiled softly and kissed her by this point Riff decided to leave, not wanting to see what actions followed the kiss, so he headed down stairs unsurprised to find his aunt sitting in the living room looking over a stack of papers.
"Aunt Pat?"
Feeling guiltly for interrupting her while she was working his voice was just above a whisper but it was enough for her to make a quick mark on the top paper before looking up at him smiling softly, motherly.
"Something bothering you moondust?"
Riff had to chuckle at one of her many nicknames, she'd called him and his cousins all sorts of nicknames growing up but they never got annoying, before shaking his head.
"Actually I was wondering if I could go to the theater show in the city."
Patricia rolled her eyes but her smile stayed as she looked at her watch.
"You're 20 years old Riff, you don't need to ask but thank you anyway. I guess there's no harm in it just be home before morning cause I won't have you rushing off in the morning again."
Riff smiled and crossed the room kissing her cheek in thanks before leaving the house.

Magenta looked around the empty kitchen, Alice had left an hour ago for work thinking Magenta was going to shower and go to bed but the girl wasn't feeling tired in the slightest, her eyes landed on a flyer sitting atop the paper and raised an eyebrow before walking over and picking it up looking it over. It was an advertisement flyer for the theater in the city that was showing a play of some sort. She looked at the clock then at the times on the flyer before shrugging and figuring it was something to do besides sit around bored and so after changing into a better dress than her uniform Magenta grabbed her purse and left the house walking to the city.

Riff stood in line outside the theater waiting to buy a ticket, his eyes studied the flashing display board as the line slowly moved. When it was his turn he bought a ticket but a flash of red made him look at the other booth beside him, the second he did his heart jumped and he gave a soft gasp, Magenta was standing at the booth getting her own ticket wearing a silky red dress that reached her knees, her hair had been brushed and tamed so it wasn't as frizzy, her lips were still painted red and made her smile seem more radiant.
"There are other people in line buddy, move it!"
Riff blinked as if remembering where he was and looked at the man behind him then away quickly as he heard a bell like giggle from behind the closing door of the theater making him realize Magenta was no longer at the booth. Moving quickly he opened the door and looked around the theater lobby for any glimpse of Magenta but there were too many people, older couples in stuffy clothes and younger couples or groups whispering in corners probably trying to sneak things into the theater, suddenly a flash of red drew his eye to the entrance to the actual theater room. He followed after into the aisles between a row of seats and looked around, he looked at every seat in front of him but there was no sign of Magenta anywhere making his heart sink as he sat down in the closest open seat sulking.
"Excuse me but is this seat taken?"
Not really paying attention Riff shook his head as he silently cursed being led on a goose chase, he felt the owner of the voice sit beside him making him glance to at least see who it was he'd have to deal with for the show. Upon glancing his eyes widened as he fully faced the person and a smile crossed his lips seeing Magenta sitting beside him smiling brightly. He couldn't help but smile straightening up looking her over, the silky red dress she wore clung to her figure and completed her complexion, her curls framed her face perfectly making her green eyes seem impossibly brighter under the dim lights.
"Funny seeing you here, I thought for a while you were stalking me."
Riff blushed as she giggled crossing her legs.
"I-I wasn't stalking you I-I just thought well um."
"Yes?"
She cocked her head to the side looking innocently confused but he could see the encouraging glimmer in her eyes under her lashes making him swallow a little thickly and scratch the back of his head.
"Well I thought we could see the play together then maybe go somewhere after?"
Magenta smiled again bouncing a little.
"That'd be wonderful!"
She blinked as if realizing how childish she sounded.
"I mean, I'd like that very much thank you."
Riff chuckled before looking up as the lights went out and the stage lights came to life.
~~~~~~~~X~~~~~~~~
Magenta sat watching the opening of the play but found her eyes drifting every so often to Riff sitting beside her then down where his arm was laid on his armrest beside her's. Biting her lip she carefully moved her hand over and laid it lightly on his but kept her eyes forward as he looked down before giving a faint smile moving his hand so their fingers were laced together making her smile happily. Somewhere around the third act Magenta was getting rather bored as she looked at Riff then nearly laughed seeing he was leaning on his free hand nearly asleep, looking around she realized nearly all the theater was even the older couples that seemed to be the ones that liked the play.
Smiling mischievously she gently nudged Riff making him jump and look around before looking at her questioningly making her smirk.
"Follow my lead."
Riff looked at her confused as she let go of his hand and stood up on her seat clear in her throat before she started to sing.
"It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes it's toll!"
Suddenly every set of eyes in the room turned to her including the actors on stage but Riff smiled as it clicked in his head, sure it might get them kicked out but she was trying to liven things up, before he stood on his seat beside her.
"But listen closely…"
"Not for very much longer!"
Magenta smiled at him as he joined in before he stepped off his seat and grabbed her by the waist lifting her off her's then setting her beside him letting her take his hand and lead him to the aisle where they started dancing as she sang.
"It's just a jump to the left!
And then a step to your right!
With your hand on your hips!
You bring your knees in tight!
But it's the pelvic thrust!
That really drives you insane!
Let's do the Time Warp again!
Let's do the Time Warp again!"
Riff smiled taking her hands and spinning her around as they made their way to the stage the whole theater singing and dancing with the chorus in the aisles.
"It's so dreamy
Oh, fantasy free me
So you can't see me
No not at all!
In a different dimension
With voyeuristic intention.
Well secluded I see all!"
Magenta smiled at Riff as he sang dancing with her about the strange before spinning her so they were beside each other facing the audience with the cast behind them now singing together.
"It's just a jump to the left!
And then a step to your right!
With your hand on your hips!
You bring your knees in tight!
But it's the pelvic thrust!
That really drives you insane!
Let's do the Time Warp again!
Let's do the Time Warp again!"
As they finished the last line the doors burst open and two large security guards stepped in looking angry.
"You two! You're in violation of the theater code distrusting a performance like this, we are going to have to escort you out."
Magenta grabbed Riff's hand making him look at her confused and even more so when he found her smiling.
"I don't think so, it was a total snore fest in here we just livened things up so why don't you piss off?!"
With that she tugged Riff's hand whispering a 'come on!' to him before they ran backstage making the security guards follow them. They ran dodging actors and costume racks as they went Magenta laughing the whole time as she ran and Riff found it infectious letting himself laugh as she pulled him into a prop closet and held her finger to her lips telling him to be quiet despite the fact she was breathlessly giggling. The guards ran past the closet looking for them but neither Riff or Magenta paid attention, the closet was small so fitting both of them was a bit of a tight squeeze leaving less than a few inches between them.
Magenta looked up into Riff's eyes and felt a blush cover her cheeks as she found him watching her, his eyes soft and loving making a sense of security settle over her. Closing the space between them she lightly rested her hands on his shoulders, smiling when his instinctively found her waist, before standing on tiptoe and placing a soft kiss to his lips. At first he didn't respond but after a second his arms wrapped around her and he returned the kiss softly at first then deeper as she parted her lips for him. They could feel each other's hearts race in the kiss and as they broke apart they couldn't help but smile breathlessly unaware until it was too late that they'd been found.

A few minutes later Riff was sitting on a bench inside an all white jail cell, while Magenta sat outside on a different bench, listening to a police officer talking to his aunt.
"Yes ma'am he's down here at the station."
He paused listening to something Riff couldn't hear but knowing his aunt it was some kind of angry or panicked question.
"No, no bail fine. Even though he's 20 it was only a first offense and a very minor one at that, no we just ask that you come and escort him home."
He paused again.
"Yes ma'am, thank you for your time."
The sound of footsteps made him look up at the officer that now stood beside Magenta's bench looking at him.
"Alright kid your mother is on her way, you're lucky it was such a minor offense that there wasn't a fine or jail time."
Riff cringed dropping his eyes to the floor.
"She isn't my mother, she is my aunt."
His words were so mumbled the officer just shrugged them off as he turned to Magenta.
"What about you young lady? Is there someone we can call to come and get you?"
Riff looked up at Magenta as she nodded silently making the officer nod once.
"And who would it be?"
Magenta looked up at him looking rather unfazed by any of this.
"Alice, she's my mother and she works in the palace as a domestic."
The officer made a face mostly because calling the palace even just to speak to a domestic was a long process of first contacting the guard office who'd contact the head domestic who would find the one domestic needed all before you could talk to them.
"Does she have her own communicator?"
Magenta nodded again.
"Yes, 4317."
The officer nodded then walked back down the hall to the communicator and placed the call. As he was doing that Magenta looked at Riff apologetically.
"Sorry I got you stuck here and that your mom has to come and get you."
Riff shook his head.
"It's okay don't worry about it, it wasn't entirely your fault it was that play for being so boring!"
He laughed as she first giggled then laughed holding her sides for a few moments before she managed to stop and wipe her eyes.
"I'm still sorry your mom has to take you home."
Riff opened his mouth to correct her that he wasn't being picked up by his mom but before the words left his mouth the door down the hall opened and two sets of footsteps came closer. Moments later the officer came into the room with Patricia close at his heels stopping a step back as the officer opened the cell and let Riff out. As soon as he stepped out his aunt hugged him before promptly smacking him upside the head, at least he knew where Cosmo learned it.
"Riff Raff Onyx Vitus how dare you scare me like that?! I get a call in the middle of the night that you've been arrested! Do you know how worried I was?! I thought you were going to the theater!"
Riff opened his mouth to explain but she held up her hand making him close it again.
"I don't want to hear it, we are going home and you're not leaving your room until it's time for work tomorrow! Am I clear?"
Riff nodded.
"Yes ma'am."
She nodded before looking at the officer who was giving Riff an almost sympathetic look.
"Thank you for calling me and keeping him out of trouble, I'm sorry for whatever issues he's caused."
The officer shook his head waving it off.
"It wasn't anything he needs to be harshly punished for, just kids having fun, started a Time Warp dance in the middle of the play with this little beauty here, she's still waiting for her guardian to arrive."
With that Patricia looked at Magneta as if realizing she was there for the first time and as soon as she did her face paled a little as she gripped Riff's arm.
"Come on mister we are going home. Thank you again officer."
Before Riff could get more than a goodbye out to Magenta they were out of the station and walking down the empty street toward home. After a few minutes of walking in silence Riff looked at his aunt.
"I'm sorry aunt Pat, I didn't mean to cause trouble."
Patricia didn't say anything for a few minutes before she started laughing making him look at her confused.
"You got arrested for doing the Time Warp in the middle of a play, the last thing I am is mad."
She smiled making Riff crack a smile too as they reached the house where once inside she sent him off to bed. Riff went to his and Cosmo's room and carefully made his way through the scattered clothes and books making him roll his eyes and kick a pair of Nation's panties away from the lower bunk before striping down to his underwear and slipped into bed, but found himself unable to fall asleep his mind was filled with too many questions, questions that made him blush a little and his boxers become a little tight.
Trying to distract himself he rolled onto his side facing the door, in the little strip of light from the hall he could see Nation's bra hung from the door knob.
'I wonder what size her's would be...would they be bigger so they'd spill out of that?'
Riff shook his head trying to shake the thoughts as he buried his face in his pillow, it was going to be a long night at this rate if he couldn't shake these thoughts and images from his head.
~~~~~~~~X~~~~~~~~
Now back home and alone, Alice had gone back to work hoping she wouldn't get in too much trouble, Magenta lay in her bed in a thin sheer nightie as she fingers lightly ran over the satin like covers over her as she stared at the canopy above her bed. She sighed rolling onto her side looking at the empty place in her queen size bed.
'I wonder what he'd do if he were here. Would he cuddle me close and steal a kiss or would he bed me?'
Magenta bit her lip at that thought as her mind wandered a little farther on that thought.
'I wonder if it'd be any good, would he be rough or gentle? I wonder if he's the dominant type.'
Now Magenta blushed fidgeting a little as her heart began racing in her chest. She shook her head closing her eyes.
"Stop it, go to sleep."
She tried commanding herself but it did little good, her thoughts wouldn't go away making her sigh and hide her head under her pillow hoping it'd somehow muffle her thoughts enough to sleep. Finally after an hour she fell asleep curled around herself.
