Miracle, hearing her mother's exclamation, came out holding the outfit to her chest again. She was worried for hearing her mother out of breath. "Mom, vhat's vrong?"
Nation left LP after seeing the state of her cousin and decided to help. She managed to get Magenta breathing properly again.
"Frank... he's... he wants you back, princess," Magenta explained, sounding a little more calm now. "Your grandmother has contacted him, you and he must claim the throne of Transsexual or else she will give it to DeLordy. I'm sorry, Little Precious, but you really have no choice."
"No..." LP shook her head, stepping backward, sounding reminiscent of her father before he was shot with Riff Raff's laser. "NO!" she yelled again, wanting to climb up something to escape and hopefully survive.
"I'm sorry, princess, but you have to or else your father will kill us all..." Magenta sighed. "He's waiting back at the castle to take you away with him!"
Miracle paled as she heard that. She even bit her lip harshly so she wouldn't make a sound.
Nation pulled LP to herself and looked at Magenta. "Where is Riff Raff? I think Cosmo and I may come and talk to Mr. Furter."
"In the lobby," Magenta breathed. "He is too weak from Frank's whipping to move very well, he carried me in here, but passed out on one of the couches and I ran as quickly as I could. You don't understand Nation, Frank is too strong!"
LP growled a lot like Magenta, shaking her hands into fists. "I GROW WEARY OF MY FATHER'S WRATH! WHEN WILL HE LEARN THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE THAN HIMSELF IN THIS WORLD!?"
Magenta gaped at her. "Princess, I have never heard you so dominant in all our years together."
"I'm tired of Daddy treating me like nothing!" LP stomped her foot. "I'm tired of daddy hurting my godparents! And I'm tired of Daddy hurting my new friend! I regret bringing him back to life!"
"Daddy..." Miracle gasped when she saw her father. She started to use the maid uniform to stop any blood that was coming from the wounds.
Riff Raff looked tiredly at Miracle. The bruises were now visible, making his eyes burn with anger, but his face took on a grateful, though tired look.
Nation called Cosmo, then looked at LP and Magenta. "Well, he wouldn't be a match for all of us." She had only known LP a short while, but she truly did consider her as her daughter.
"My father is truly an evil man," LP folded her arms, looking very angry. "Riff Raff was right, he IS a foolish creep! Ever since we came to this planet he's been ignoring me more than usual! He even says its Earth custom to constantly ground your children if they're teenagess, but honestly, I think he made that up! I'm sick of getting hit by him for speaking out of turn, I'm sick of being grounded for asking for dessert, I'm sick of being his test subject for science experiments, I'm sick of being my father's butt monkey!"
Nation petted LP's shoulders comfortingly.
Cosmo came in once he heard his name and he was resting his hands after making a new dress for Janet. He noticed Magenta. "Oh, hello there, what a pleasant surprise."
"Unfortunately it isn't." Magenta told him, then explained to him everything happening. "You're such a brave soul," she smiled at the princess. Are you sure you veren't adopted?"
LP giggled at her. "I'm not adopted, I was born in a laboratory!"
"I don't know vho's vorse, Frank or DeLordy," Magenta crossed her arms, shuddering. "That DeLordy vas such a sick boy vhen ve vere children growing up... Alvays trying to make me his vife..."
"DeLordy's gross!" LP cringed.
Nation looked at Cosmo once he was now brought up to speed. "Riff Raff is in the lobby with Miracle, take some bandages to wrap him up, okay? And we'll get ready to go and talk to Mr. Furter." she then looked at LP, gently. "All of us together will be able to calm Frank down." she quietly hoped that statement would be true.
"Sure thing," Cosmo walked to collect bandages.
"Daddy prefers to be called Doctor, he gets hissy if someone calls him Mister." LP said randomly, putting her hands in her pockets.
Nation looked at Cosmo and nodded. She then looked at LP. "I am a proper doctor I will call him Mister unless he earns the doctor title."
"Hopefully Laura and Ricky can look after our new patient." Cosmo added on his way out.
"Brad's not an 'aminal' you know." LP pointed out.
Cosmo turned to her. "What do you know of Brad Majors?"
"Nevermind that," Magenta said quickly. "Let's get Riffy."
"I just don't get it," LP sighed. "Daddy seemed great when I was a kid, but... he changed smehow... I remember when I was younger, I couldn't wait for him to finish his work so we could play, I'd help him in the lab sometimes, it was before Riff Raff and Magenta came to the castle, but he just seemed happier, then something happened to this woman he would talk about, but I don't remember seeing her. After he said the woman disappeared, he's been cruel and bitter and got the Vitus's to come move in with us, then they found Columbia and Eddie, then well... I think you know the rest..."
Nation gained an understanding look in her eyes. Her mouth dropped open slightly to a round shape. She then hugged LP lightly. "We'll try and sort this mess out, darling."
"Perfect." LP sighed.
"Vho vas this voman, Little Precious?" Magenta asked.
LP turned to her with a shrug. "I dunno... I just don't remember..."
"Stay with Magenta moment," Nation stopped the girls. "I just need to quickly change..." she then went in her room to change into something that was more flexible to work in, she wouldn't be able to help if they were attacked in her normal doctor's outfit.
LP gave her a thumbs up and sat down next to Magenta. LP smiled, looking at her. Magenta turned back and gave a false smile as she was in pain and agony from earlier.
"So what's this elbow sex I've been hearing about lately?" LP asked, making Magenta's eyes go wide.
Cosmo was nursing Riff Raff with some of Miracle's assistance meanwhile. He was healing up a bit, hopefully the bandages would stay healed. LP and Magenta were still waiting for Nation to hurry up and finish changing so they can go confront Frank. His time had come before and maybe now he would listen to reason or risk being killed twice and never come back to life again.
"Tell me." LP begged.
"No." Magenta refused.
"Tell me."
"No."
"TELL ME!"
"I WILL tell you," Magenta grinned, towering over her. "In exactly four years!"
"But I can't wait that long!" LP cried.
"You already waited almost fourteen years, what's four more?"
Nation came back with pants, a T-shirt and a pair of trainers on. It was quite stylish but also comfortable.
LP gasped at Nation's new look and leaned closer.
"Vow Nation, you look so nice." Magenta admitted.
"Nation pretty..." LP said slowly with a smile like she was a child at Christmas morning.
Nation gave a smile and blushed slightly. Once again the compliments making her embarrassed.
"Why don't you dress like that, Magenta?" LP turned to the former domestic.
She turned back to her. "Don't start."
Nation chuckled a little. "We may look similar dear but we have different outfit tastes."This was what was needed, some cheer to keep their spirits up.
"That's for sure," Magenta smirked. "Of course, I look much better than you do, Nation."
"Ooh, burn!" LP giggled like a child again.
Nation gave a teasing look. "Well at least I don't get called an animal name... Tiger" she teased, refering to a childhood nickname that Magenta was called by the family because of her hair.
LP giggled a bit more. She found this all very hilarious. "So, what do we do now?"
"Vait for the others, probably." Magenta shrugged.
Miracle, Riff and Cosmo were soon back with the others.
Miracle wiped her forehead with the back of her arm. She smiled weakly at everyone.
Riff looked slightly better now his wounds were treated.
Nation went and hugged him and then returned back to LP. She may not have shown it but she was worried about Riff hearing about him collapsing.
"Do you need anything, Magenta?" LP asked.
"No, thank you, and please, call me 'Aunt'," Magenta smiled assuringly. "I always loved it when you would call me that."
"As long as you don't mind."
"I never mind with you, princess."
LP smiled and patted her head. "Okay Aunt Tiger."
"I mind that." Magenta glared at her with one eye open.
Miracle gave a smile, she guessed Tiger was her mother's nickname at one point, like her father's was Riffles, according to Cosmo.
Riff's lips twitched in amusement.
Nation chuckled, she then looked at the whole group. She knew they'd have to head up for the castle but she didn't want to ruin any of the cheerful atmosphere.
"Enough of this!" Magenta snapped. "Back to business!"
"Yes, ma'am!" LP said, quickly.
Magenta smirked and ruffled up her hair, then looked at her cousins. "Do you vant to come vith us?"
Miracle bit her lip slightly, waiting for the reply.
Riff looked at Cosmo and Nation, also curious of their answer.
"I don't know," Cosmo turned to Nation. "You think Ricky and Laura can handle the patients while we're gone?"
Nation looked back at him. "I'm sure they'll be fine a little, while we sort this out."
"We may as well," Cosmo sighed. "I hate to see a girl like Little Princess go through this."
"That's not my name!" LP whined at him again.
"Princess, Precious, same thing." Cosmo shook his head at her.
"Not for long," Magenta reminded him. "She vishes to denounce the throne."
Nation suddenly had a sly smile. "Cosmo... We should take the car...I want to drive..."
Riff looked at Nation. Why would she have to smile like that if she wanted to drive?
Cosmo's eyes widened, then he nervously smiled. "Silly Nation, you can't drive!"
Miracle smiled slightly at his reaction for Nation's request to drive.
"Riff Raff, Nation is scaring me..." LP looked up nervously.
Riff patted her shoulder in the most comforting way possible.
Nation pouted, then gave into her older brother. "Fine, be spoilsports," she looked at the former princess and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
"Let's go and sort that man out." Riff declared.
"It's okay, I can drive you know." LP giggled.
"Crashing a spaceship on a foreign planet does not qualify as driving." Magenta teased.
"Hey, that was an accident! I said I was sorry!" LP defended.
"Never mind that, let's get going." Cosmo told everyone.
Riff Raff led ahead, holding Magenta's hand and Miracle held LP's hand. "We're going home..." LP softly sang as they were on their way back to the castle.
