A Captivating Night (A RHPS Fanfic)

Chapter 19: Planet Schmanet Janet

I'm covering my mouth. I am frozen in my seat. Rocky gets up out of his chair, Janet screaming running to him for protection. I see Frank get up from the corner of my eyes. I get up from my chair and rush over to Brad, not for protection, just because I don't want to get in Frank's way. Brad notices me shaking and hugs me trying to reassure me. I look up at him really quick, I'm unable to speak, so I mouth the words, "Thank you." He nods. Frank rips his party hat off, "OH ROCKY!" He then forcefully pulls Rocky away from Janet, "How can you?!" Rocky trips and stubbles and Frank slaps Janet across the face. I'm in a state of shock still but I could tell Brad was pissed. His body was tensing up. Janet runs away screaming, Frank chasing after her. Brad and I look at each other, Magenta and Riff Raff laughing in the background. We start chasing after them. Brad wheeling Dr. Scott to the elevator, and I chasing after them on the stairways.

They enter the laboratory, Brad and Dr. Scott not far behind. Janet runs up on the platform where Rocky's tank is. She tries to catch her balance as Frank slides past. I'm halfway down the ramp and Brad and Dr. Scott are rushing towards Janet. I run on the outskirts of the platform they're on. "The transducer will seduce ya!" Frank pulls the lever on the SONIC TRANSDUCER. He smiles at them. They all exclaim, "MY FEET! I can't move my feet!" "My wheels! My god, I can't move my wheels!" "It's as if we are glued to the spot!" I can still move! I rush over to Frank, I don't want to look like I'm choosing sides, but I don't want to risk anything. "You are! So, quake with fear you tiny fools!" Frank says. Janet looking worried, "Oh, we're trapped!" Frank goes towards them to sit on the ledge of the tank, "It's something you'll get used to! A mental mind fuck can be nice!" Janet screams. I stay where I'm at, I don't want to make the wrong move.

"You won't find Earth people quite the easy mark that you imagine. This "SONIC TRANSDUCER", it is... I suppose... some kind of audio-vibratory physiomolecular transport device?" Dr. Scott observes. "YOU MEAN...?" "Yes Brad! It's something we ourselves have been working on for quite some time, but it seems our "friend" here has found a way of perfecting it. A device which is capable of breaking down solid matter and then projecting it through space and who knows... perhaps even time itself!" Janet reaches over to Dr. Scott, "You mean he's going to send us to another planet?!" Frank leaps down from his seat, "PLANET! SCHMANET! JANET!" Frank goes towards Janet and starts teasing her, Janet trying to shoo him away. Even though I know he's teasing, I don't like seeing him all over my sister. Janet is on the verge of tears, still trying to push him away, and then she cries out, "STOP!" She finally manages to push him away. Brad tries to punch Frank and misses. Frank trips over the edge of the platform. I manage to catch him. I raise him up to regain his balance. "Don't get hot and flustered!" Frank starts saying as I notice Riff Raff and Magenta approaching my side. Brad angrily says, "You're a hotdog! But you'd better not try to hurt her! Frank Furter!" Haha, I get it cause some people call hotdogs "frankfurters". Not the best insult Brad... Frank nods to Magenta, Magenta pulls the lever labeled "MEDUSA". Next thing I know, Brad is a statue, holding the last pose he was in. Except for his clothes, they're on the floor where he was standing. Dr. Scott was next, and then Janet. I wanted to ask if they were ok, but I didn't want to risk being Medusa'd either.

"My god!" I hear Columbia break the silence. "I can't take any more of this! First, you spurn me for Eddie, then you cast him off like an old overcoat for Rocky! You CHEW people up and then you spit them out again! I loved you... Do you hear me?! I LOVED YOU! And what did it get me? Yea, I'll tell ya, a big NOTHING! You're like a sponge, you take, take, take, and drain others of their love and emotion!" I look down. "Well you've got to choose between me, Rose, and Rocky; so named cause of the rocks in his head!" She angrily places her hands on her hips. Frank looks at Magenta and nods. Magenta pulls the lever. Columbia now solidified. Frank looks over at us. "It's not easy having a good time." He looks up at Rocky, who's trying to "blend in" on the top of the ramp. Frank nods. Rocky turns to stone. Shit... am I next? Frank continues, "Even smiling makes my face ache..." He faces me now. I'm ready. He bites his finger and continues ranting. I'm safe? Frank goes by the freezer door. I go over there to comfort him, especially since he spared me, that's the least I could do. I go next to him and take his arm; I'm gently caressing it just to let him know I'm there for him. I can't help it though; I'm hopelessly devoted to him. "My children turn on me! Rocky's behaving just the way Eddie did! Do you think I made a mistake? Splitting his brain between the two of them." Magenta comes over in a rage, she yells, "OH, I'VE GROWN WEARY OF THIS WORLD! WHEN SHALL WE RETURN TO TRANSYLVANIA, HUH?!" Riff Raff's standing beside her, doing the same thing I'm doing to Frank. "Magenta... I am indeed grateful to both you and your brother Riff Raff, you have both served me well. Loyalty such as yours, shall not go unrewarded. You will discover that when the mood takes me, I can be quite generous." He says in a calm, quiet tone. Magenta responds, "I ask for nothing... master!" Frank's face changes. "And you shall receive it. IN ABUNDANCE!" He takes my had and leads me to the elevator. "Come, we are ready for the floor show." He slams the cage door and we descend to the first floor. The floor show? Are we performing or something? For who, it's an empty house, in the middle of the night, AND in the middle of nowhere.
