"Two adults please!" Riff Raff said. He bought the tickets, and both of them went inside.
"So, what should we see first?" asked Riff Raff.
"Hmmm. I wanna ride the elephants!"
"Okay!"
They walked over to the elephant rides.
"Okay Columbia, I'll wait here and you can get in line."
"Don't you want to ride with me?"
"Well uh...I don't really trust that thing..."
"Come on, it will be alright!"
"Well uh..."
Columbia took Riff Raff by the hand and forced him in line.
Meanwhile, Eddie and Magenta pulled up to the video arcade. They walked inside. There was alot of noise coming from the games.
"So uh...how do these things work?" Asked Magenta.
"Well, you put a quarter in, and play the game!"
"Hmmm sounds like a waste of money, and hmm?"
Magenta had her eye on a claw machine filled with strange looking voodoo dolls.
"Whoa...what's that?"
"That's a claw machine. You put two quarters in, and you get a chance to win a prize."
"Hmmm! This sounds like it could be fun. Give me some quarters, I want to try."
"Now hold on, let me show you how to do it." Eddie said putting in two quarters. He moved the claw over one doll, and pushed the button. The claw went down, but didn't grab the toy.
"Boy you really got a hold of that one!"
"I'd like to see you try it."
"Okay."
Eddie put in two more quarters. Magenta positioned the claw over the toy, keeping in mind the way it spun. She then checked her angles. She waited for the claw to stop shaking before pushing the button. The claw went down and perfectly clamped on the toy. It picked it up and dropped it down the chute. Magenta collected the prize.
"Oh, look at that. It's an Ansalong voodoo doll! The tag says it is from the Denton studios collection. Hmph. Nice. It's better than the real one."
"Hmmm beginner's luck!"
"Sure...that must be it." Said Magenta swiping more quarters.
"Well I bet you can't win another..."
The claw went down and picked up another small toy.
"One..."
"How about that? A Nation voodoo doll! Now all I need is the Cosmo and Ricky dolls and I will complete the collection!"
Magenta put two more quarters in the game.
"How are you so good at this?"
"This earthling device is so simple." Magenta said. She already won another one. "Yes! Now I just need the Cosmo!"
"How the hell?"
Magenta quickly won the last doll.
"Yes! I did it!"
Meanwhile at the Castle...
"Ahh! There you go sis! You shaped the layer of cake perfectly!"
"Well, you did help me WHOOOOAAA!" yelled Nellie as she tripped in her high heels. The layer of cake broke and split apart. Nellie looked at what she did, got into a fetal position, and cried. Richy went and kneeled down to her.
"Nell, it's okay. Please don't cry. We can start over."
"But I *sniff* worked so hard on that."
Richy put his arm around her.
"Don't be sad. I'll help you clean up and start over." Richy said standing her up.
"Okay."
Back at the zoo...
"Hey! This is kind of fun!" Said Riff Raff on the elephant with Columbia.
"I knew you would like it!"
The elephant calmy made its way around in a circle. They both got off.
"That was actually not too bad. So, what should we do next?"
"Oh! Let's go see the pandas!"
Riff Raff and Columbia hurried over to the new china themed exhibit. They made their way through the bamboo, and noticed a sleeping panda.
"AWWWWW! So cute!"
"Hmm. Earth creatures sure are preculiar."
"What does he mean?" asked a female zookeeper.
"Oh uh...nothing." answered Columbia.
"Hmm how interesting. This animal seems to live off bamboo. How very interesting. The people of my planet couldn't last one day on plants. They can only live on mostly meats. Espacially human."
"Wha...What did he say?" Asked the zookeeper, horrified.
"Oh uh...he's just kidding around. Heh heh."
"Ahh when we discovered how good it tasted, my people would beam up earthlings just to eat them! but now they are only allowed to beam up convicts and the homeless. But sometimes people still partake in the old ways."
"Oh my god! What are you some kind of space alien?"
"Hmmm. I have said too much. Now they'll be after you."
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" She screamed running away.
"Riffy! Now what did ya do that for?"
"Do what?"
"Scare her like that?"
"Oh...I was just telling the truth."
"Transylvanians won't really come after her, will they?
"Well...maybe. She'll be safe as long as she doesn't become a convict or becomes homeless."
"Whatever. Let's go ride the Railway!"
"The railway?"
"It's this big monorail tram. It it takes you out way far into the habitats. It's like a huge wide open space that looks like africa."
"Well alright then."
"Yeah, it's a long ride, so we should buy some snacks for the journey."
"Okay."
Back at the video arcade...
Magenta was playing dance dance revolution. Eddie was shocked. She was dancing on very hard mode. Magenta was moving really fast. Soon the song ended.
"One hundred percent! Perfect score!" The machine said.
"But how..."
"Transylvanians are born to dance really well. Oh what's this? Enter name. Only three spaces. M-A-G. Cool! 1st place score!"
"Wow."
"So what other games are there to play?"
"Well uh...there's a shooting game over there."
"Let's play it!"
Back at the castle...
Frank walked into the kitchen.
"Mmm? Baking a cake I see."
"Yeah. It's in the oven right now." said Richy.
"So Frankie, what did you get for my mom?" asked Nellie.
"Eh, I bought her the new little shop of horrors blu ray."
"Ooohh the one with the fully restored ending?"
"The very same."
"Cool! I got her some new fish net leggings. And Richy got her some new high heels!"
"Nice nice."
There was smoke coming out of the oven.
"Hmm?"
Richy opened it up and a burst of flame shot out. Richy then quickly turned off the oven.
"OH NOOOOO!" squealed Nellie.
"Uh...it's okay we can fix this..." said Richy.
"But it will take so long to start over!"
"We have to try."
Back at the zoo, Riff Raff and Columbia were enjoying the scenic monorail, looking at all the animals in their habitat. Columbia was eating some cotton candy.
"Boy look at all the animals." Said Columbia as she leaned on Riff Raff.
"Yes. It is quite radient out there. Almost as radient as you."
"Aww Riffy."
Just then the tram came to an abrupt stop.
"Uhh attention folks, we are expirienceing a technical delay. It's gonna be a while..."
"Oh no!" said Columbia.
"I hope they will fix the problem soon." said Riff Raff.
"Well, I know something we can do to pass the time..." said Columbia leaning toward Riff Raff's face.
"Well...since it's your birthday..."
They began to make out.
Back at the castle...
Richy and Nellie were struggling to make a new cake from what they had. The kitchen became messed up as a result. Soon they heard the front door open.
"Uh oh!" said Nellie. Magenta walked in holding a paper bag.
"Wha...what happend?"
"We...we...RUINED THE CAKE!" squealed Nellie.
"Awwwww, heh heh, I knew you two might have messed up, so I took the liberty of buying a cake on the way home."
Surprised, Richy and Nellie looked at each other, then shared sighs of relief. Magenta took the cake out and put in on the kitchen counter.
"Now, I want this place cleaned up before Collie gets home."
"You can count on us!" Magenta left the kitchen and walked into the front room where Eddie was.
"I must admit. You are pretty fun to hang out with." Said Magenta.
"Yeah well...I just wish Collie thinks so too."
"If you treated Columbia as nice as you treated me, and take her out more often, show her more love, she would trust and want to be with you more."
"Hmmm. I'll keep that in mind."
A couple hours later at the zoo...
The sun was going down, and Riff Raff and Columbia were still stuck on the monorail tram.
"Riffy, I'm getting tired. Maggie and the others must be worried sick!"
"It's okay Columbia, they'll clear this up soon...they better."
Back at the Castle Magenta was setting the table.
"Hmmm. It's getting late. I wonder when Riff and Collie will be back."
Back at the zoo...
"Attention passengers, we have just sent out another tram to tow us back in the station!"
"Finally!" said Columbia.
Two more hours went by.
"Uhh sorry passengers, but the tram that we were supposed to tow to this one broke down...sorry."
Everyone groaned.
"Hold on Columbia, I am going to talk to the captain." said Riff Raff as he got up. About five minutes later Riff Raff came back and sat down.
"What did he say?"
"You'll know in a moment when he announces it on the speakers."
"Attention passengers!" the captain announced. "It has come to my attention that it is a certain someone's birthday."
"Oh Riff! You did not!"
Riff Raff had a smile on his face.
"Will that person please stand up?"
Columbia stood up. She was all bashful.
"Now everyone, we are going to sing happy birthday. One two three!"
"Haaaappy birth day to you! Haaaappy birth day to you! Haaaappy birthday dear Columbia, haaaappy birth day to yoooooooou!" Everyone sang. Columbia smiled and blushed the whole time. She sat back down as they then cheered.
"Riff, now why did ya do that?"
"Well it is your birthday."
Thankfully, about ten minutes later, a service train was sent out, and towed the tram back to the station. It was nightime, and past closing time when they got off the tram.
"I wish we could have seen more of the zoo, Riffy." Said Columbia as they walked toward the exit of the zoo. "But I am happy that we spent the day together."
"Oh, it's my pleasure."
"So uh...when we get back and after we have my little party...can we uh...snuggle?"
"Well, I did say we could do anything. And I mean anything."
"Okay!"
An hour later at the Castle, everyone was seated at the table.
"Uhhh where is the birthday girl?" asked Frank.
a few moments later Riff Raff and Columbia showed up.
"There she is!"
They all sang happy birth day as Riff Raff and Columbia took their seats.
Columbia blew out the candles. Everyone had a piece of cake.
"Okay! Presents!" Frank announced. "Mine first! Mine first!"
Columbia picked up Frank's present. She opened it up.
"Oh my god! The new little shop of horrors blu ray! Thank you so much Frankie!"
"My pleasure."
"Okay time to see what the kids got me!" Columbia cheerfully said as she took the two presents from Richy and Nellie. She opened one.
"New fish nets!"
"Happy birthday mom!"
"Thanks Nellie! I love them! Okay Richy, what did you get me?" Columbia said opening it up. Inside was a pair of red ruby high heels.
"Whoa! Where did you get these? They must have cost a fortune!"
"Oh, Don't you worry about that hot momma."
"Hmmmm. You two got these from Richard's shop, didn't you?"
Richy and nellie made shocked faces.
"You read us like books..." said Richy.
"That doesn't matter. I love em'! Okay, so who's next?"
Magenta handed Columbia her gift. Columbia opened it up.
"A friendship bracelet! It's so cute! Aww it says Collie and Maggie BFFs for life!"
"Yeah, I got one too."
"I thought you said friendship bracelets were a lame earthling thing."
"Yeah, but you said you liked them, so I got some for us."
"Aww, thanks BFF! Okay, this one is from...*sigh*...Eddie."
Columbia opened it up.
"Oh...a pink strap on spikey necklace...thanks...Eddie."
"You're welcome Collie. I love you."
"Yeah...I know you do..."
"Ansalong, Janet, and I all pitched in to get you a little something for letting us stay here." said Nation. "Janet, hand her the gift."
Janet looked away as she handed Columbia her gift. Nation gave Janet a stern look.
"Oh...uh...I'm sorry for...calling you a bitch and being so mean."
"Well...I guess I forgive you...but don't EVER wear one of my outfits again!"
"Fine..."
Columbia opened the gift. Inside was a doctor uniform, simular to the one they wore.
"Oh cool! A doctor costume!"
"Only a very few were salvaged when the whole soundstage flew in the air. Yeah, you could say we "convinced" some weird dude named Sal Piro to give us his that he stole."
"You mean you threatened him." said Columbia.
"Ha ha ha...yeah..."
"Well thanks! I love it!"
Just then Richy stood up.
"Everyone! I have an announcement!" He said.
"What is it my most sexy brother?" Asked Nellie.
Richy scooted the chair Nellie was sitting on so it faced him. Richy got on one knee.
"Little Nellie, you are my sister and I love you so very very much, you are incredibly fabulous and sexy. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and nobody else. Will you marry me?"
Nellie covered her mouth and gasped as everyone did the same. Even Riff Raff and Magenta.
"Oh Richy! My loving brother! Of course I will marry you!" she said while hugging him.
"AWWWW!" Everyone said. Nellie looked at her mother and expected her to reject, but she was smiling and crying tears of joy.
"And that's not all, I have booked us a hotel, and we are to have our wedding in Tokyo Japan!"
"I always wanted to go there! Hmmm, what if I said no to marrying you?"
"Ha ha ha, I know you wouldn't do that."
"Yeah, I wouldn't." Nellie said smiling.
"How darling Riff!" said Magenta. "Our special little guy is getting married!"
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
Everyone went to bed. Riff Raff was resting under the covers of his bed until someone walked in the room.
"Riffy? Riffy are you awake?"
Riff Raff looked over and saw a figure that looked like Ansalong.
"Listen, please don't make me tell you again. I don't want to be with you!"
"Aww come on..." she said walking in to the room. Riff Raff turned on the light.
"I said I...Oh Columbia. It's just you. I didn't reconize you. With that costume on you look and sound just like her...please take it off."
"Hee hee...okay." Columbia said as she took the costume off until she was completely naked.
"So, are you going to give me my other gift?"
"I suppose I must."
Columbia got in the bed, and they began to make love.
Very early the next moring, Columbia woke up in bed with Riff Raff. She got out to go to the bathroom. She went through all her little routines, and was about pick up to throw away her pregnancy test, when...
"Oh no...NOOOOOOOOOO! SHIT SHIT SHIT! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOO! NOT AGAIN!"
Meanwhile...
Richard was waiting for the last customer to choose an item so he could close up the shop.
"Uh sir?"
The man wearing a dark trench coat and fadora looked over in that direction.
"Can I help you find something?"
The man walked to the sound of his voice.
"Well uh...yes you can. You see, I am looking for a certain egyptian curse kit."
"Oh, well what kind are we after?"
"One that can bring back the dead and in its wake, bring with it a terrible chaotic curse."
"You mean the kind so destructive that the ancient egyptians haven't even performed them?"
"Yes."
"Oh okay. I got one right here." Richard said picking a kit up and placing it on the desk.
"That will be one hundred and fifty dollars american."
The man reached into his pocket and gave Richard the cash.
"Thank you sir! Pleasure doing business with you uh..." Richard said gesturing to shake the man's hand.
"Schnick. Bert Schnick."
