Riff Raff had thought that going home with Magenta to the moon drenched shores of their beloved planet would have been easy. After all, they were of no great social status. Poor children born to a chain-smoking, alcoholic mother and a dead beat father, they never had much of a life from the start. Always moving from one apartment to the next, never staying long enough to know their neighbors. Moving from one school to another never gave neither Riff Raff nor Magenta, two years his junior, any real chance to make a friend. So, they had become each other's friend. Sharing stories, laughing, crying and complaining together, they were always there for each other. Until that one moment where they realized they no longer felt the brother and sisterly love that they were supposed to feel. It had transformed into something much greater, and very much illegal. Though Transexual the land of night, and everything that came with night, was very loose in morals; incest was always looked down upon.

After their parents found out about their new relationship they were both promptly kicked out. With nowhere to go and no one to turn to they had no choice but to find a job even if it meant one of the worst jobs possible. Working for Frank N. Furter had been no easy task. Riff Raff, who had always excelled at math and science, had all his work stolen by Frank with never an ounce of credit or even a mention of thanks given to him. Magenta on the other hand worked constantly to make sure that Frank's demands were met. She cooked, cleaned, and catered to his every beck and call. Well almost everything. When Frank found out about their relationship he was utterly disgusted. Even he would not stoop to such actions. He was going to report them, see that they were punished and get a new maid and butler as soon as possible. Then, realizing that he still needed Riff to gain credit among Transexual's leading scientists, he kept them both. Not as servants but as slaves and one day after not being able to take the pressure of being treated horriblely any longer Riff Raff cracked. And that is where the real trouble began.

That night, a young couple from Denton had shown up on the castle's front door step soaked in rain. After a round of the Time Warp, Frank's unveiling of Riff Raff's creation, and Frank fornicating with both Janet and Brad, Riff killed them. Frank, Columbia and Rocky. His intent was never to kill Rocky or Columbia, they just happened to be there. Yes, he had planned to kill Frank but not so quickly. He wanted Frank to suffer the way that Frank had made him and Magenta suffer. He snapped however, and Frank was dead, or so they thought.

During the flight back to Transexual everything had seemed all right but that was soon changed when they landed back on the planet. The Transexual Royal Guard had been waiting for the castle when it landed, expecting the glorious arrival of Prince Frank N. Furter who would be named king in the recent light of his mother's passing a few days earlier. Instead they were greeted by a maid and a butler who announced that Frank, along with two others were dead due to a freak accident in the lab. Their plan would have worked if Frank hadn't come half stumbling, half crawling out of the castle a few minutes later. Magenta and Riff Raff were immediately put under arrest and placed in separate cells in the castle's dungon awaiting their trial.

They both would have been sentenced for execution if it hadn't been for a Transylvanian living in Denton who reported that Janet Weiss, now Majors, was pregnant. And if it wouldn't have been for this prying Transylvanian then no one would have ever found out that the baby belonged to Frank and not Brad. Frank could not possibly see his son or daughter being raised by Brad Majors of all people and sent Magenta and Riff Raff on another mission back to earth. Their Mission: "Capture Janet Majors and bring her back to the Planet of Transexual in the galaxy of Transylvania. If you fail, you both will die."
