Magenta's POV
I woke up with a big yawn, and looked over to the clock on my bedside table. "Wow, 12:30 already?" I thought out loud. I could hear Riff Raff talking to someone out in the kitchen. Since I didn't know who was there I quickly got dress. I managed to get on a pair of Riff's old flannels and my house coat. Who ever it was, they couldn't have been important enough for me to have to get all dolled up before coffee.
"Good morning!" I cheerfully greeted Riff Raff and whoever else was in the kitchen with him as I turned the corner.
"Hoopla Magenta!" greeted a relieved looking Bert. His meeting Riff couldn't have been pleasant.
"Good morning, my most beautiful sister." Riff said coming over to give me a kiss. He was dressed up in his uniform, fishnets and all. Maybe I should have gotten dressed. Oh well Riff's flannels that I had to cuff the pants were much more comfortable than fishnets and heels any day. I even was wearing the bunny slippers Columbia insisted I buy!
"Vould either of you care for a cup of coffee?" I asked turning on the coffee maker.
"Oh no my dear, I'm afraid I was just about leave." Bert said looking rather nervous again.
Just as he left I could hear Riff Raff say, quite softly for him, "Make sure Archibald, and Sloan get back to me by the end of the week."
"Who are Archibald and Sloan?" I asked adding a generous amount creamer into my coffee cup.
"I don't know, who?" he asked. Don't get me wrong, Riff was great at his job (which often included having to lie), but I was the one person he could never trick.
"MmmMM." I said with a shrug hiding my smirk with my coffee mug.
Meanwhile
"Ricky are we almost back to Transsexual yet?" Columbia yawned from her chair on the shuttle. She didn't understand the majority of the signs due to it being a different time system than they used on Earth, and a lack of sleep since they had to get there at what was the equivalent to four o'clock in the morning.
"Well doll, I been keeping this as bit of a surprise for you, but we aren't going back to Transsexual yet. We're going to visit your Grandma!" Ricky told her.
Columbia shrieked with excitement, but then unexpectedly stopped. "Does that mean that we'll be on this shuttle for another two weeks!" she exclaimed. She was expecting a ride that would be just under an hour, not another two week trip! In all the excitement, Columbia did not even notice all the angry glares she was receiving for waking all the sleeping people on the shuttle.
"Oh no dear. The only reason it took so long in the past was because of the size of the craft, and Magenta and Riff Raff don't like the feeling of the faster travel. Didn't you like something is tugging at your stomach?" Columbia did, but she thought something else was causing the discomfort.
Back on Transsexual
"Hello Bert!" Magenta said into a phone like device.
"Hoopla Magenta! What can I do for you?" he replied.
"Vell Riff vanted me to remind you about about Archibald, and Sloan." If it was physically possible, you probably could have heard Bert roll his eyes.
"No to worry. You can tell your brother that I've contacted them, and they'll be in touch with him soon." Bert said, "I don't know why your brother is so worked up. It's not like DeLordy is a hard target or anything. With the help of Archibald and Sloan, he'll be able to pull off this assassination without a hitch." he continued. Riff Raff was hiding THIS from her? Anyone knowing the temper they both had, would not like to have been either one of them.
"Oh, yes, no to worry. Thank you Bert. I'll talk to you soon." Magenta responded force herself to sound cheerful. She didn't even wait for his reply before hanging up and,marching downstairs to Riff's lab.
