"Crono..."
"Crono!"
"Wake up Crono!"
Crono woke up and saw his mother... WHO WAS IN BED WITH HIM! He gasped as loud as a silent protagonist could...
Crono woke up again, and saw his mother standing by his bed.
Crono's Mom: That dream again? Arrgh. Maybe if you socialized a little more, you wouldn't-
Crono drifted off. His mother ALWAYS said "Maybe if you socialized a little more" in response to every little problem he had. Late for school? Socialize more. Presumed dead while hiking until someone pointed out you were just trailing behind us? Socialize more. Slip on a banana peal? You guessed it.
Crono's Mom: Ok Crono, the Millenium Fair is today! Even better is that the Y1K bug was a hoax!
Just on que, one of Lucca's inventions runs down the road, knocking over houses and squashing people and stuff.
Crono's Mom: Errr... Maybe not.
Crono: (Her inventions are always like that, stupid.)
Crono's Mom: I'll pretend like I didn't telepathically read that. Anyways, here's your allowance.
Crono: (500 dollers? Bah, cheap bitch)
Crono's Mom: I had to sell my wedding ring to afford to pay you, master.
Crono: (Whatever, don't let it happen again)
Crono ran outside and hopped in his 1001 Mercedes-Benz, which revolutionized the world by using steam power and coal instead of human souls like the BMW and Cadillac's do. Souls are hard to come by in Guardia these days, and they were over 3 dollars to the gallon!
---
At the Millenium Fair, everyone having fun with such games like 'Slave Races' or 'Pin the Poison Coated Tail on the Mystis'. Some crazy fanatics were collecting bets from other crazed fanatics over a bet on whether the world would end now, or in 999 years.
Crono: (Wow, I'm going to go check out Lucca's invention. These guys are freaks)
Some Guy: I've been waiting for you... Crono....
Crono: (Who are you?)
Melchior: I am Melchior, the Guru of.. weapons... yeah. War is bad by the way.
Crono: (You are a hippy who makes weapons?)
Melchior: I guess I just make them for fighting evil... Though that's bad too. Mostly I just protest King Guardia's 'War for Human Souls' that he's waging in Eyerack.
Crono: (Whatever. I feel like killing someone, and I'll need a better sword than this wooden one.)
Melchior: It's not the weapon that's wielded, but he who wields th-
Crono: (Shut up and give me a steel sword.)
Elsewhere in the Fair, Marle is running around the Leene Bell like a maniac. Crono walks up the stairs and sees her.
Crono: (What are you doing?)
Marle: Oh my god... It's Son Gokou with red hair!
Marle runs toward him, and tries to glomp him. Instead, when she comes in contact, she goes flying back and loses her pendant.
Crono: (Is this broad a missile or something?)
Marle: Oh no, I lost my pendant! Help me, Son Gokou!
Crono: (My name is Crono Aurielus Von Orsceisalot IIIVXX.)
Marle: ...What?
Crono: (Ok, I lied. It's just Crono... and your pendant is lying three feet away from you in direct sight.)
Marle looks down and finds the pendant.
Marle: Oooh, you found it! Thank you very much! By why don't you talk much?
Crono: (I'm waiting for the right moment.)
Marle: Ok, whatever. Let's go to that Lucca sideshow, I want to laugh and throw more food at her.
Crono: (Um, she is my friend.)
Marle: OOohh Crono... I can't HEAR you...
Crono: (What did I do to deserve this...? Besides kicking a puppy, frying ants with a magnifying glass, and finding a cure for cancer but being unable to tell anyone because of my silence...)
At Lucca's show...
Lucca: Step right up, and enter the telepod! This amazing device not only runs on CLEAN EFFICIENT COAL POWER, but it's also an amazing feat of technology for us, considering we are somewhere between the middle ages and the not-to-distant-future!
Lucca's Father: That's right! Unlike our previous invention, the 'Generic Sprite to Unique Sprite Converter', this one will actually do more than change your hair and clothing color!
Marle and Crono show up.
Lucca: (Damn it, nobody trusts us after Gato bit off Mike Tyson's face in a boxing match earlier... Oh wait, it's Crono!)
Lucca: Hey Crono... Er... I mean... Young man in the audience with red hair and I've never met you before... Do you want to try out the telepod?
Crono: *nods reluctantly*
Lucca: Ok, step right in.
Crono steps in the telepod. Lucca and her Father say a bunch of pseudo-technological stuff, as Crono disappears from one telepod to the other. After emerging in the other telepod, Crono grabs himself in agony.
Crono: (ARRRGH, OH GOD, MY LUNGS AND CHEST AND VARIOUS VITAL ORGANS ARE IMPLOOOODDDIIINNNG...)
Lucca: Uhh.. Hehe... As you can see, he's perfectly fine. Uhh, if you AREN'T FINE, please say something OUT LOUD NOW.
Crono: (AHHHHHHHHHH OH GOD THE AGONY IT BURNS.... THE GOGGLES, THEY DO NOTHING! ....BESIDES PROTECT MY EYES IN CHLORINE-FILLED POOLS BUT THAT'S IT.)
Marle: Oooh, that look's fun! Let me try!
Marle hops in, while Lucca and her Father power up the telepod again. However, Marle's pendant starts glowing.
Marle: Oh no, my pendant! Incoming plot twist!
Marle suddenly disappears!
Lucca: Oh jesus.
Lucca's Father: None of you saw this happen. If you tell the police, you'll sleep with the fishes. Capice?
The Audience nods and runs.
Lucca: Crono, she left her pendant here.... I got it! You can take the pendant and follow her!
Crono is being hauled away on a stretcher.
Lucca: Oh, where do you think YOU'RE going? To the hospital to seek the intense medical care you so vitally need?
Doctor: This kid's going to need the leeches, definately. Maybe even the POISON leeches. Or the leeches that shoot poisonous leeches from their mouths when they bark.
Lucca groans and grabs Crono, gives him the pendant, and throws him in the portal.

Crono emerges from the time portal, in the middle of a forest on top of a mountain.
Crono: (Well, that was unpleasant.)
Suddenly, Crono is attacked by a bunch of Mystics.
Crono: (Die, mongrels!)
The Mystics on the mountain are easily obliterated as Crono treks down the small mountain. He winds up in a medieval village. To find some information, Crono enters a nearby tavern.
Tavern Patron #1: Well, look what just breezed in through the door.
Tavern Patron #2: Lookin' like a MYSTIC to me. You reckon what we do with Mystic's round here, boy?
Crono: (Shut up, where the hell am I?)
Tavern Patron #1: Well.. A TOUGH GUY EH, you reckon what we do with TOUGH GUYS around here?
Crono: (No, what?)
Tavern Patron #2: We give them ALL SORTS OF INFORMATION on the time period they've ended up in.
Crono: (...Oh)
Tavern Patron #1: Heh. Just kidding. *smashes a beer bottle over Crono's head*
Crono gets back up and pulls out his sword. He slashes across the patron's stomach, spilling the patron's entrails, which are promptly eaten by the stray dogs in the tavern.
Tavern Patron #2: Damn, he killed #1! I better run like HELL!
The patron tries to run, but Crono throws his steel sword at the patron's neck, going straight through it. The patron falls dead, while Crono plucks the sword from the victim. After, Crono sits down for a drink.
Bartender: Errr.. what will you have, kid?
Crono: (I want to know what time period I'm in.)
Bartender: You won't get a drink staring at me like that.
Crono: (Bah, I'll find some information at the castle. Screw this.)
Bartender: Grr, damn murderous minors. They really need to bump up the drinking age from 8 to 14.
