The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Sword Of Damocles

As the elevator was still going, they stood in silence. Riff offered his drink to the couple.

"No thanks," they both said.

"Riff, what is that stuff?" Fran asked.

"You'll understand when you're older."

"Oh hey, I was just curious."

The couple laughed.

"How old are you?" Brad asked Fran.

"Twelve."

"Is your father biological, adoptive?" Brad asked.

"I think adoptive, he actually looks too young to have a teen daughter."

"I'm biological but he created me in a science experiment. An artificial womb. I was upset when I found out but it's ok. But now he created a new science experiment, Rocky,-"

"Someone's jealous," Magenta said.

"Nah uh!"

Fran turned to Brad and Janet.

"Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, all Dad ever talks about."

The elevator stopped. Frank was standing across from them smiling, getting ready to shake hands with the couple.

"Riff Raff, Magenta, off with you for a moment. Francesca and I will entertain."

"Yes master."

They walked away for a bit.

"Dr. Frank N Furter, and this is my daughter Francesca Furter."

Brad stuck his hand out to shake Frank's.

"Brad Majors!"

Frank shook his hand.

"This is my fiancee Janet Vice."

"Weiss," Janet corrected him.

"Echante."

He kissed her hand.

"What charming underclothes you both have."

"Listen, we came here to use your phone and that's why we're here and only why we're here!"

"Well, I'm just showing hospitality."

"Hospitality? Goddamit, just lend us your phone so we call for help!"

"He such a beautiful specimen Janet, you must be very proud...Do you have any tattoos?"

"I wish," Fran said.

"I promise to let you when you're older Francesca darling. But remember, they're permanent whether it turns out good or not."

She nodded.

"Good," Frank said as he stroked her cheek.

Riff Raff walked to Frank.

Frank did his thing, the buttons and levers were pulled and pushed. Rocky stood up from the tank.

"But, since you're such an exceptional beauty, I'm willing to forgive you. Oh don't you just love success!?"

"He's a credit to your genius master," Riff said.

"Yes!"

"A triumph of your will," Magenta said.

"Yes!"

"He's ok," Columbia said.

"Ok?"

He slammed his hand on the tank.

"Ok!? You can do better than that!"

He dragged Rocky to his daughter and guest.

"Francesca, meet your new brother Rocky."

"Hi Rocky," Fran said sweetly.

Rocky smiled as they shook hands.

"Brad, Janet, what do you think of him?" Frank asked.

"I don't like men with too many muscle," Janet said.

"I didn't make him for you! He carries the Charles Atlas Seal of Approval."

He walked Rocky to a large gift wrapped thing.
