NOTE: Originally there were two songs in this chapter, now deleted. The scene is crucial because the Queen drugs Brad and Janet for information but the chemicals have an unusual effect on humans...
PREVIOUSLY: Brad and Janet, pulled from their honeymoon suite on earth back to the castle on Transexual, find themselves propositioned by Queen Andoria. She wants information on how to bring Frank N Furter back to life. They, of course, do not know the answer. The Queen offered them comfort in their new "home" (the castle) and were shown to their separate bedrooms. The Queen also offered them body massages and baths, should they accept...
Janet lay on a table in what appeared to be a bedroom
on the second floor, however there was no furniture in the room, aside
from the padded table she lay on -- which had been brought in for this
occasion: she was receiving a oil massage.
Lying face down, totally nude except for a towel
draped over her bottom, she groaned as the male guard behind her gave her
back muscles an oil massage. She was very tense.
Suddenly the door opened and another male guard
entered, saying, "The Queen has requested to see you on the front porch."
Janet became nervous again. She started to
sit up and realized she was naked (except for the towel). She glanced
at the guards, noticing they were both staring at her.
"Do you mind?" Janet asked them, pointing to the
corner of the room where her bra, panties, and slip lay.
The guard escorted Janet, now dressed in her underclothes
again, to the front porch of the castle. As she passed through the
front doors, she felt shivers go up her arm. The last time she had
passed through these doors there had been a large yard, surrounded by woods.
This time, however, there was no yard. The castle, it seemed, was
resting on a large metallic floor. The view from the front door was
overwhelming. There were people everywhere, and buildings, and small
flying space crafts.
There was no sun. The sky was black, but for some unknown reason,
the buildings were lit from an unknown source.
Janet stepped onto the porch, and the guard said
to her, "The Queen will be with you in just a moment. Wait here."
Janet waited for less than a minute, feeling uncomfortable
in her attire with people all around her, before turning around to go back
inside the castle. When she turned around, she saw the Queen standing
behind her, with a male guard at her side. Draped over the guard's
left arm was a white bathrobe, in which he gave to the Queen.
"Here," Queen Andoria offered the robe to Janet,
"Put this on. It should make you feel less vulnerable."
Janet accepted the Queen's kindness and slipped
on the robe. "Thank you."
"I've taken the liberty of requesting some drinks
for us."
A woman, dressed in a maid's uniform, approached
them from within the castle. She held two glasses of wine, one of
which she handed over to Janet. Being polite, Janet took the wine
glass and sipped it, "Thank you."
"Now," the Queen said, "Let's get down to business,
Miss Weiss."
"Majors," Janet corrected her, "Janet Majors.
Brad and I were on our honeymoon before you kidna--" Janet was afraid
to say the rest of the words.
The Queen said it for her: "Kidnapped? Tell
me, Mrs. Majors, would kidnappers treat you with such kindness and hospitality?"
The Queen took a sip of wine from her own cup as well.
"But...you have to believe us. No matter how
close Frank became to us that night, he didn't explain his secret to life
to us. And since Brad nor I are scientists, I doubt sincerely that
we would understand if he did."
Janet drank some more wine.
The Queen responded, "You're right. I apologize
for your time. Why don't you head back to your sleeping quarters,
Janet. Get a good nap. There's going to be a party in the castle
tonight, in just about two hours. You're invited to come. Who
knows? You might even run into some old friends..."
Janet felt goose bumps again on her arms and legs.
"Excuse me," Janet said, moving past the Queen into the castle. As
she passed her, Janet handed her nearly empty glass of wine to the Queen.
The Queen's guard watched as Janet went up the stairs
to her bedroom.
"Your highness," the guard said, taking the Queen's
glasses from her hands, "Why did you let her go away so easily?"
"It doesn't matter, really," Queen Andoria said,
looking out to the city in front of her, "Her wine was laced with a special
drug, at my request."
"What will the drug do?"
The Queen smiled, "It's a gender altering drug,
which reacts whenever she breathes in Transylvanian air. The longer
she stays on Transexual, the more her sexual gender will change.
Her voice will alter, get deeper. Her bosoms will become smaller.
But her body will eventually reject the changes the more they become noticeable
-- and at that time, her heart will give out. She'll die."
The Queen smiled proudly. She had drugged
Janet. Late tonight, if all things go well, Janet will start to change,
too subtle for anyone to notice. The Queen will tell her of her ill
fate at the party, and will offer the only cure: freedom on earth -- if
she reveals Frank's secret to life.
But in the meantime, she had plans with Brad as
well...
Brad was enjoying the bath, regardless of how uncomfortable
he felt being back in the castle. The large tub, set inside an empty
room, was filled with warm water, topped with lots of bubbles and suds.
He laid back comfortably and closed his eyes. Suddenly, he heard
a noise -- that of the door opening. He opened his eyes to see a
female guard standing there at the doorway.
She spoke to him, "The Queen requests your presence
inside the castle's dining room at once."
Brad hurriedly stood up in the bathtub. He
noticed the female guard staring down at his genitalia, so he quickly cupped
his hands over his groin and said, "Do you mind?"
The guard bent over and grabbed Brad's white briefs,
offering them to him. Brad carefully reached out with one hand to
accept them.
Dressed in his underwear, Brad entered the dining
room where the Queen was seated at the far end -- the same seat, Brad recalled,
where Frank N Furter had sat a year before. Interestingly enough,
this was the first time the Queen was unaccompanied by a guard.
Queen Andoria said to him, "I've taken the liberty
to get you a bathrobe" She pointed to the chair at the far end of
the table (where Dr. Scott had been seated a year before) -- Brad could
see a white bathrobe draped over the top of the chair. The Queen
added, "It should make you feel less vulnerable."
"Thank you," Brad said, slipping the bathrobe on,
and sitting down into the chair.
Two female guards entered the room, one carrying
a bottle of wine, and the other carrying a covered dish (Brad instantly
remembered the entree that Frank served).
During the forthcoming conversation, one guard poured
two glasses of wine, set on a small table nearby. Without Brad seeing
her, she reached into her waistband and removed a small vial. Opening
the vial, she emptied its powdered content into one of the wine glasses,
then proceeded to stir it with her finger. This glass, as the Queen
had ordered, Brad will drink from.
The Queen said politely, "Would you care for something
to eat?"
Brad noticed the female guard with the covered tray
of food had bent over to Brad, so he could decide. Brad looked at
the tray and said, "Uh...no thank you. If I remember correctly, Transylvanian
food was not one of my favorites. No offense."
The Queen nodded for the guards to leave.
Before leaving, one guard gave a glass of wine to Brad, and another to
the Queen. Not wishing to be anymore rude than necessary, Brad began
sipping his wine almost immediately.
"Let me get straight to the point, Brad," Queen
Andoria said, "In just a couple of hours, this entire castle will be filled
with people, particularly in the ballroom."
"Yes," Brad said, "You told me already.
A party."
The Queen painfully ignored Brad's interruption
and continued, "We're going to have a public execution. I believe
you know the prisoners: Riff Raff and Magenta."
"You're going to kill them? But why?
What's their crime?"
"They killed my Frankie. So they must pay.
However, I've offered them a chance at freedom. All they had to do
was tell me Frank's secret to life, so that I may bring Frankie back to
live."
Brad remembered Rocky's creation and how Riff Raff
aided in it, pushing buttons and turning cranks. He said to the Queen,
"If anyone knows that secret, it would be Riff Raff."
"That's what I thought. However, he said that
he didn't know, forever sealing his fate tonight. He did, on the
other hand, suggest that you and your darling wife would know the answer
I seek."
Suddenly all the pieces seemed to fit into place,
and Brad responded, "That's why you brought us here to this planet -- to
this castle. You thought Janet or I could help you."
"Yes..."
"Well, I am sorry. Frank didn't tell us."
The Queen thought about this for a moment, and then
had a new idea -- a new approach. She stood up, and walked slyly
over to Brad. Her hips moved seductively left and right, and she
went around to Brad's backside. Bending over him, she placed her
left hand on Brad's left shoulder, and her right hand on his chest.
"Oh Brad, there's so little time," she said, gently
lowering her hand down his chest towards his stomach, "Isn't there anything
you can remember that Frank may have told you?" She was whispering
seductively in his ear. Her hand went past his navel and set upon
his crotch.
Brad quickly grabbed her hand with firmness and
removed it from him, saying with determination, "This isn't going to work
so give it up. I'm very much faithful to my wife. Nice try,
though."
The Queen stood back up and walked seductively back
to her chair to sit. "Oh well," she said, "You can't blame
a girl for trying. You earthlings and your loyalty amaze me."
"Sexual commitment is important in a relationship
on earth," Brad said proudly.
"Yes," Queen Andoria added, "I've heard all about
it. A heart connection. Love, if you wish. Tell me, Brad.
Do you love Janet?"
"Certainly."
"How did you meet?"
"We met in Dr. Scott's science class."
This caught the Queen's attention, "Dr. Scott?
A scientist?"
Brad started to get nervous, as though he had opened
Pandora's box. "Yes," he answered, "But he's more or less a school
teacher these days. In fact, he's teaching a night class as we speak."
"Interesting," the Queen said, her mind in heavy
thought, "Tell me, was this Dr. Scott there the night Frankie was killed?"
Suddenly Brad realized where this conversation was
going. The Queen wanted Dr. Scott's help in discovering Frank's secret
to life. Most likely, she would "beam" or "zap" (or whatever it's
called) him to Transexual. There was NO way Brad was going to bring
Dr. Scott into this new situation, so he refused to answer her. Instead,
he remained quiet.
"I judge by your silence that he was."
Brad felt more uncomfortable than ever, so he asked,
"Do you mind if I go back to my room? I'd like to get some rest before
the party starts."
The Queen smiled. She had another idea: "Yes,
get some rest. Because before the execution, we're going to have
a small pre show. I'd like you and your darling wife to take center
stage and tell everyone about this thing you call love. I'll have
some Transylvanian garb sent to you both."
Brad stood up and looked at her, "You wish us to...what...sing?"
"Yes," she answered, "Reach into your soul.
Relax, it'll be fun."
Brad mumbled to himself, "Fun..."
"Guard!" the Queen yelled. Quickly the door
opened up and a female guard entered the room. The Queen demanded
of her, "Take Mr. Majors back to his room."
Brad left the room, the guard at his side, leaving
the Queen all alone. Poor Brad, she thought to herself, That
drug I placed into your drink is a gender bending drug. It reacts
as long as you e in Transylvanian air. Very slowly you will become
weak, timid. Your marriage should be interesting, should you ever
make it back to earth. You would be weak and shy, while your wife
would become strong and independent. Ha ha. That is -- if you
ever make it back to earth. Should you end up stuck on this planet,
the drug will eventually take a fatal turn on you and your precious wife.
The Queen started laughing out loud, very
much sinister. She walked over to a television monitor nearby and
pressed a button. Instantly the monitor lit up, revealing a guard's
face. "Yes, your majesty?"
Queen Andoria smiled and said, "I want you to set
your focus on Earth, the town of Denton. There's a scientist there
named Dr. Scott. He should be teaching class right now at a local
school. Transport him to me at once."
"Yes, your majesty."
The Queen resumed laughing all over again.
Back on earth, in a school that set on the outskirts
of Denton, Dr. Scott was teaching class. His students sat in their
chairs, listening to his every word carefully, taking notes as necessary.
Dr. Scott, seated in his wheel chair at the front
of the class, with a desktop in front of him, was explaining what happens
when you mix two particular chemicals together.
"Now class, notice if you will what happens when
I mix the Cyphronimorite in the first beaker with the Clorimasinate compound
in the second beaker. You're gonna love this..."
The class watched Dr. Scott empty one glass beaker
into the other. Smoke rose from the beaker.
ZAPPPPPPP!!
Suddenly Dr. Scott vanished, the beakers
crashing to the table top.
The classmates looked at each other and then back
to the desk. Several of them scratched their heads in confusion...
IN CHAPTER 12: Dr. Scott finds himself on Transexual. As he learns the reason why, he also discovers a way to escape...but can he rescue Brad and Janet as well?
