"Riff, you got to eat!" Columbia said to Riff Raff who was just staring down his food with a blank, depressing face.

"I...I can't. Magenta used to make this...before she left."

"Riff! She will be back in a few days!"

"But to me, it seems like an eternity."

"Riff Raff! Stop moping about your sister and eat! You have to do her chores while she is gone! I hope you didn't for get that!" Frank said. He too was sitting at the table.

"Yes master." Riff Raff sadly said as he began to eat his breakfast.

"Oh don't be such a baby, Riff." Columbia said. Riff Raff remembered what happened. Magenta saw an ad that there was going to an all female Transylvania convention. Riff remeber when she left, which seemed like a year ago, even if it was a few days ago.

He remembered it like it was yesterday...

flashback...

It was early evening. Magenta was leaving for the castle door with her packed bag. Riff Raff was following her.

"Are you sure you got everything you need? You got your clothes, and all your stuff?" Riff Raff asked.

"I'm fine, Riff."

"Are you sure you'll be okay?"

"Riff." Magenta smiled. he was cute when he was worried.

"I'll be fine." she said giving him a hug, then a kiss goodbye.

"See you in a week." Magenta said to her brother as she smiled and walked toward the bus that would take her to the all female convention. Riff watched as she got into the bus, the door of the bus closing, and the bus driving away. Riff Raff watched drive all the way down the road. Riff Raff stood there by the open front door for twenty minutes. Columbia walked by.

"Riff..." she said. Riff Raff turned startled.

"Oh! I didn't see you there." Riff Raff told her.

"Don't worry." Columbia said with a small smile. "She's coming back in a week. It's not like she's going away forever."

"Oh, I know... it's just that..."

"You miss her, don't you?"

"Yeah."

"Ohhh don't be such a baby."

"it's just that... Magenta and I have never been apart for this long."

"Awwwww, Riffy. Come inside and close the door. You know Frankie expects you to pick up Maggie's chores while she is gone."

"Very well..."

End flashback...

Riff Raff finished his breakfast, and went right to work. The first thing he had to do was dust the castle. He found Magenta's Duster, and began to dust the front room. He had never dusted before, and for him this proved quite the challenge. He tried to get every nook and cranny, without knocking any of Frank's knick knacks over. He kept dusting and dusting, but only realized that he dusted a small portion of the room. Riff Raff let out a deep sigh.

It was early evening by the time he finished dusting the castle. He wondered how Magenta managed to do it. His next task was to take out the trash of the castle. He first went into the kitchen. There was an overflowing pile of trash in the waste basket.

"What slobs." Riff Raff said to himself.

He could hear Frank and Columbia in the other room watching TV. Riff Raff took all the trash and closed the bag up, and lugged it out of the room. He dragged it out the front door, and into the trash can out front. He walked back to the castle.

After Riff Raff finished all the chores, he sat on his bed, exhausted from all the chores. Just then, he heard a loud noise.

GOOOOIIIING!

It was Columbia. She rang Magenta's gong.

"Riff Raff! Dinner is prepared!" She said with a cheery smile. Riff Raff wasn't impressed.

"No, I'm not very hungry. Please, I am very tired." Riff Raff told her. His blonde hair was messy, and his black coat was dirty, even more than usual. Columbia was wearing a sparkling chef hat and apron. She set the gong down and walked over to Riff Raff.

"Columbia, let's not do this." Riff Raff said as Columbia grabbed his arm.

"Awww, come on mister grumpy wumpy. Let's go have a nice meal." Columbia said dragging him out of bed by his arm. Riff Raff stoof up, and followed her into the kitchen. Riff Raff sat down in a chair.

"There you are!" Frank said from his seat. "I was waiting for you to get down here! Columbia insisted that we don't eat without you."

"Really Columbia, it's fine."said Riff Raff. Columbia frowned, and sniffled.

"You...you don't even want to try it?" She squeaked. Frank scowled at Riff Raff.

"I swear, you make her cry and there's a whipping coming your way! and because your sister is not here, it's double the whipping!" Frank said.

"Very well. Alright Columbia, I will eat what you made."

"Yay! Dig in!" Columia said putting a seemingly fresh turkey on the table. Riff Raff cut off a piece, and tried a bite. It was dry and completely undercooked.

"Oh god!" Riff Raff exclaimed. "Ack, yuck! it's so gross..."

Riff looked at Frankk, who had an angry expression on his face and Columbia with a saddened expression on her face.

"It's so gross...grossly delicious!" Riff said causing Columbia to smile. He continued to force down the rest of the piece.

"I am done." Riff Raff said getting up. "Thanks Columbia for the...meal."

"Aww, You're welcome Riffy." Columbia said with a cheerful smile. Riff Raff walked out of the dining room, and went back to his room. He sat on his bed. He looked at his tansylvanian cell phone. No new messages. He wanted to text or call her so bad, but Magenta made him promise not to, because she knew he would call her every hour of the day. So, Riff Raff changed into some pajama clothes, and got himself into bed. He decided to turn out the light and go under the covers so the day would end and he would be one day closer to Magenta's return. He closed his eyes, but didn't sleep, because he couldn't stop thinking about Magenta

Meanwhile...

Columbia and Frank were walking up the stairs. Columbia was wearing her purple sequin dress, and Frank wore his corset. They soon reached the top.

"Frankie, I'm pretty tired. I think I will sleep with you tommorow night." said Columbia.

"But Columbia darling, don't make me sleep alone." Frank said trying to make puppy dog eyes.

"Tommorow night, I promise. If you can hold out I will give you the ride of your life."

"Very well, I suppose I could sleep...with myself." he said with a small smirk as he left for his room. Coulmbia curiously walked by Riff Raff's room, and she heard a quiet whimpering noise. She slowly walked in. Columbia heard the whimpering noise coming from Riff Raff's bed. She slowly crept over to the side of the bed, and very slowly lifeted up the cover, to see Riff Raff on his side, with tears rolling down his face, eyes closed. Columbia felt really, really bad. It was really sad seeing Riff Raff like this, considering how she NEVER seen him cry. She then out of the sheer will to comfort him, slowly crept into the bed with him. Columbia slowly put her arms around him and held him close to her body. Riff Raff moaned, and murmered something.

"Mmmm...genta...missed you...so...much." Riff Raff quietly said as he pulled Columbia closer. Columbia felt a strange urge she had never felt before. Before she knew it, she was leaning in toward Riff Raff's face. She couldn't help it, he just seemed so lonely and sad. But What would Magenta think of this? Riff Raff was Just columbia's friend. She never considered him a lover, but she never knew she could be. And soon enough, Columbia found herself deeply kissing Riff Raff on the lips. Riff Raff moaned even more.

"MmmmOh...Magenta...mmmmOHH! Magenta!...wait, Magenta?" Riff Raff's eyes darted open to see his lips pressed up against Columbia's. He quickly pulled back. Columbia's eyes opened and she had a look of shock on her face. Riff Raff turned pn the light.

"Columbia! Wha...what are you doing!" he asked.

"Riff! I'm so sorry! It's just that you looked so sad and upset and I...just wanted to comfort you." She said with a scared look on her face. She was still holding on to him.

"I'm really sorry." She said getting up.

"It's fine. What if Magenta found out about this?"

"I know!" Columbia said with small tears in her eyes. She covered her face with her hands.

"If Maggie ever found out that we kissed, she will hate me forever!" Columbia wailed.

"Shhh! Master is sleeping."

"Sorry."

"Look, Columbia...I appreciate your concern for me, and I admit I have been upset over Magenta's absense, but that is no reason to go and...kiss me."

"I'm really sorry Riff. It won't happen again, I promise."

"And don't tell Magenta, or the master."

"I promise. And Riff?"

"Yes?"

"You're a good kisser." Columbia said with a giggle as she left the room. Riff Raff just plopped back into his bed.
