The trip to the lifestream was a fast-paced, rollercoaster ride through a million different spectrums of colours and feelings. Sephiroth-current slid into the glowing white liquid and looked around. He had thought to arrive in some kind of dream world, like Cloud had when he had fallen, but instead he floated in the stream itself. All around him there were currents of different colours sweeping out to various points on the planet.

The stream was warm, much like the bed he was missing, and felt only about as heavy as the water in a bath. Looking around some more, Sephiroth tried to see into the distance but in no direction could he see anything solid. For miles and miles there was nothing but lifestream.

A sudden change in the tide told Sephiroth that his other half had arrived. The thought suddenly secured as something span past him, fitting and shouting in rage. Sephiroth-past came to a halt looking in the wrong direction but quickly turned to see his present-self.

"You traitorous whelp!" he snapped "Do you have any idea how long we remain here before hitting earth again?? YEARS!" he aimed a kick at Sephiroth but managed nothing except floating through.

"We aren't corporeal, feel free to lash out" Sephiroth present chuckled "You can't do anything here"

"This is still your nightmare, so I have the power" Sephiroth past clenched his fist with the intent to draw upon his ancient powers. Nothing came.

"I thought as much" Sephiroth smirked "Regrettably, we are actually here, Lost in the life stream"

"It passes over the boarders between life and death" Sephiroth-past sighed "Of course that extends to dream sequences"

"Unlucky, I guess we have time to kill" Sephiroth lay back as though on a deck chair, drawing his hands behind his head and smiling as they floated through the stream.

"Boarder coming up" Sephiroth-past noted casually. Sephiroth looked behind him just in time to see the current change colour. The waters became a deeper grey and suddenly Sephiroth felt the vicious biting cold. As both consciousness fell into the stream the world flickered a million different colours and they both felt the world shift.

Manor

Sephiroth managed to direct himself home. The pure thought and determination in his mind drove them back through the billions of chances back to the Manor. Emerging from the fridge, Sephiroth turned the moment his feet touched stone floor and slammed the open refrigerator closed.

The action had the exact consequence he expected. Seconds later something inside the fridge crashed with a startled cry.

"That is so childish!" a voice roared a moment before the door was kicked open and a disgruntled nightmare stepped out.

"This is a dream, whatever I do doesn't happen in life" Sephiroth chuckled as he walked from the room into the entrance hall. With the Nightmare behind him (who now had much less ego thanks to a quick lifestream trip) Sephiroth headed back to his room. Pushing open the door slightly, Sephiroth snuck inside. He attempted to lock his nightmare out but he simply stepped through the door.

"Will you go away? I want to sleep. I'm bored of you already" Sephiroth hissed to the nightmare who merely shrugged.

"This is strange" a third voice said. Looking to the bed, a Third-Sephiroth lay in bed covered by many blankets. Next to him Yuffie slept soundly.

"What? You're me!" Sephiroth first gasped "How can we be separate?"

"We're in his dream now" the nightmare laughed "Too far back"

"Who are you two?" the third asked

"I'm you from the future and this dick is the past you. Ignore everything he says, it is bound to be evil, twisted and bloody unhelpful" number one said pushing the nightmare out of the room. In a blur the Nightmare stepped back through the door, straightening his coat.

"Ignore him" he waved the half-naked Sephiroth aside "He's the pacifist side to you. The side that will never get Tifa to love you"

Sephiroth the third looked from one to the other.

"Quite honestly…" the third sighed "I'm clearly insane, go away"

"Just so you know; Tifa's dead and Yuffie is going to make you fall in love with her then cheat on you with your own father" the nightmare bowed, grabbing Sephiroth first by his hair before he could say anything and hurling him against the wall.

Vanishing through it, they emerged back in the dining room; back in the Nightmares realm.
