A/N: Sorry if the last chapter was a bit weird...

Once everyone was properly dressed (including shoes and, in some cases, stockings),

Columbia showed them all to the kitchen. It was as they walked that they all realized Rocky wasn't with them.

"Where do you think he is?" Janet asked, after Brad pointed this out.

Columbia shrugged. "Probably with Frank."

That's when they actually entered the kitchen. To their shock, Rocky Horror happened to be there with Magenta. It looked like she was teaching him how to use a toaster without catching himself on fire. Like that 'monster movie' character he resembled, he really didn't like even the idea of fire.

"Hello!" Columbia said.

This startled the both of them- though not enough to accidentally catch anyone/anything on fire.

"Hello Columbia," Magenta replied darkly. "Hello Brad, Janet, creature, Scotty."

"How soon is, er, breakfast?" Brad asked.

"Now, I suppose," Magenta said dully. "The Master already ate all he wanted. I saved the leftovers for the… six of us."

Though there wasn't much food, they managed to divide it evenly. For some reason Brad didn't eat any of his share. Instead, he told the others to eat it.

"I'm not really hungry," he explained with a shrug.

Nobody complained at the idea of extra food.

Since it was about 9:30 in the evening once they'd all eaten and washed the dishes, they decided it was time for bed.

"Ve need to stay on a proper schedule. Getting up at nine in ze morning or so und going to bed before ten. Zat vay ve vill stay stane for longer," Dr. Scott said.

"Frank is not a very host, isn't he?" Janet said. "Just abandoning his guests like this!"

Magenta rolled her eyes. "You aren't guests anymore. You're here forever, I think."

A horrified silence ensued. It hasn't really sunk in that none of the new earthlings were going home. Columbia had already accepted her fate, as had Rocky.

"No more stock market?" Brad whispered.

"Oh, I'll never see my friends again! And I promised to go to lunch with Betty Hapschatt next Thursday!"

"Und zat project I vas vorking on. Und my students... vho vill teach ze classes I taught at Denton High School?"

"Does it really matter now?" Columbia muttered.

"Let's just find each of As Scotty said, you've got to stay on schedule."

Dr. Scott scowled at the nickname but didn't say anything. The horrid plaid trousers he wore made him feel a bit pathetic. Like a clown. So he didn't argue.

And so, they each went looking for a room. They agreed to meet outside Magenta's bedroom once they'd found a room

To her horror, Janet was summoned to Frank's room that evening. Before she could even pick out her bedroom!

Though the idea of having to sleep with him sounded disgusting when she thought about it, the actual act was very enjoyable. It's one of those things that you shouldn't properly think about, because it'll only make things worse. So she just tried to lose herself in the sensation of it. This blissful blankness was shattered, however, when he was finished with her. He kicked her out of his 'second bedroom' right away.

Janet spent the next few minutes wandering aimlessly through the castle's many hallways. And then she realized that she knew which bedroom belonged to Magenta and Columbia. That's the only room she knew the exact location of- besides Frank's second bedroom, of course.

So that's where she headed.

When she got there she realized that both women were fast asleep. Columbia slept in a small bed with many blankets, while Magenta's bed was bigger yet only had one or two blankets. The two really were opposites. Even their pajamas were very different! The faded grey, hole-filled long sleeved button down outfit that Columbia wore wasn't anything like the stylish nightgown that her roommate wore.

After standing there and staring at the two women for a moment, Janet remembered that she needed a place to sleep for the night. Magenta's bed had the most space... so that's where's Janet decided to sleep.

Hoping to avoid waking Magenta up, Janet slowly got into the bed. She curled up next to the woman. This wasn't creepy. No, when Janet's friends (mainly Betty and a few others) went camping in high school they often slept really close to each other because it was really cold sometimes. And this huge castle wasn't very well heated by that old water heater.

Soon she was asleep.

The next day, at precisely 9:00, an alarm clock went off in Magenta's room. Columbia had set the thing yesterday in the hope that they'd be able to wake up according to Dr. Scott's schedule.

Janet technically awoke first, but Columbia happened to be the first to actually open her eyes and sit up.

So, she turned off the alarm clock. And then she noticed

"Janet!" she squeaked. "What're you doing here!"

The sound of the girl's squeaker-than-usual voice woke Magenta (the alarm clock hadn't).

"Why are you in my bed?" Magenta asked.

Janet blushed furiously. "I never got around to finding a place to sleep, since Frank called me to his room before I could go looking. And then..."

"- and then he kicked you out," Columbia finished, nodding in understanding.

"That doesn't explain why she was in my bed," Magenta replied, glaring at Columbia.

"It's the only room I knew the location of except for his," Janet explained. "And Columbia's bed is too practically small for one person to sleep in."

Magenta (very literally) kicked Janet out of the bed. "Go away, now. It's time to get up."

Wincing, Janet got up from the floor. Though she wanted to point out how mean Magenta was being, that would probably only make matters worse. Even though Magenta had left the room at that point...

With Columbia's help Janet found an outfit to wear. It consisted of some of Columbia's least-glittery clothes. Though Janet was a bit too short to look right in the skirt, the shirt looked nice enough.

"Thanks," Janet said. "For letting me borrow your clothes."

Columbia laughed. "I'd do nearly anything for my friends."

"Am I a friend of yours, then?"

"Yeah... I think," Columbia replied. "We might as well be friends. That is... I was in your situation once. Except I only had Mags to talk to."

Janet raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean, 'in the same situation'?"

"Well, we were both charmed by Frank at first... and then he decided that we belonged to him," the girl explained with a shrug.

"Oh. Maybe we should... get to know each other," Janet replied nervously.

None of Janet's ' old friends' knew where she was. And none of them would understand.
