A/N I need help, guys. I wanna write a fluffy oneshot about Riffsalong that has NOTHING to do with Insanity, so others can read it. But I can't think of a fitting scenario. Any ideas?

Oh yeah. I think I may be a bit slower with updating. School hit me hard and fast. Heck, I should be studying for a test right now instead of writing this…

A character dies in this chapter. No one insanely important, and it's not graphic, but… yeah… thought I'd warn you.

I HAVE A REALLY IMPORTANT THING TO SAY! Anne Oying just wrote the best Riffsalong oneshot EVAR. It's called Happy Hearts. It's adorable and awesome. Go check it out. NOW.

It took awhile, but Nation had finally stopped crying. She probably would have been completely unable to if it had not been for Cosmo, who had been very patient with her. He had told her that everything would be okay, and that she had no reason to worry. He assured her that Ansalong was not in her right mind, and that she would probably come to her senses soon enough. Now, the woman sat in her brother's arms, sniffing occasionally and staring out into space.

"I'm glad you've finally calmed down, Nation." Cosmo told his sister gently. Nation shook her head.

"I don't care if I'm calm or not." she muttered. "I just… I just want to be free from here. I want to live a normal life… with you. I don't want any of this. I don't even care about stupid Transsexual and brainwashing and all of that." The woman felt more tears form in her eyes. Cosmo sighed.

"Nation, please. You've got to keep control of yourself. Staying positive is the very best way to-"

"Nobody cares about positivity right now, Cosmo!" snapped Ricky, who was in the cell across from him. The man had not spoken at all until just now. He was too angry and upset with himself. He knew he should not have left Ansalong so many years ago, but eventually he had decided it was too late to go back. He had never imagined that his decision would lead to something like this.

Nation shook his head, suddenly looking rather angry. "Ricky, you have absolutely no right to yell at my brother!" Cosmo could not help but smile as his little sister stood up for him. Ricky, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and turned his head away.

"Look, all I know is we're stuck here, with no way out, and Ansalong has gone insane." Ricky growled. "This may be the worst thing that's ever happened to me."

"Oh, stop feeling sorry for yourself!" hissed a voice as a horribly familiar figure stepped into the room. All eyes turned to see Ansalong, a smug grin on her face. She stepped lightly over to Ricky. "Seriously, Ricky, I find this rather pitiful that something as small as being stuck in a cage for a little while can be 'the worst thing that's ever happened to you'." She rolled her hollow eyes.

"You're insane!" snapped Ricky. Ansalong laughed a cold, dark laugh. Her eyes had a new spark to them as she stared at her former boyfriend with pure insanity.

"Flattering won't get you anywhere, honey." she hissed. She shook her head and stomped away. Nation was much paler than before, and even more tears had formed in her eyes. Cosmo pulled her close, but this seemed to do absolutely nothing. Ricky's expression turned from bravery to pure fear and relief, and Farley and Neely, who had not yet said anything, just stared at the spot where Ansalong had been standing, terrified.

"I didn't even do anything wrong…" muttered Neely. Farley, who had by now had enough of Neely repeating this statement, growled and walked away from her to the other side of the cell.

Riff Raff, Janet, and Sonny did not realize until AFTER they left the palace that nobody knew where Ansalong could possibly be. However, Riff had remembered the general direction she had been going in, so they all followed his lead. Eventually, they found a few Transylvanians who had actually seen Ansalong run through the town, and the group were guided to the outskirts. Now, the land was completely barren, and finding Ansalong was nearly impossible. Riff Raff considered going back.

Janet gasped. "What?" she exclaimed. "Go back? You love her! You can't just… just go back!" The woman made an expression that Sonny immediately recognized – determination. Janet would not let this go badly. She cared to much. She turned and began walking towards the barren land. "Come on!" she snapped. Sonny and Riff Raff, both speechless, exchanged glances before following the woman's commands.

The trio walked for what felt like an eternity. Eventually, they were surrounded by desert on all sides. The only light was the moon, which was hidden behind a particularly black cloud. The wind was cold, and they were all shivering. Riff Raff turned to Janet angrily.

"Still think this was a good idea?" he snapped. He had lost hope. He did not seem to care at all anymore that Ansalong was gone. Janet felt saddened by this realization.

Janet nodded. "Yes, I do. I think that we have to keep going. For Ansalong." Sonny nodded in agreement, and Riff Raff looked at the ground. Sighing, he nodded. Janet smiled. "Good. Now come on." She began walking once more. Riff Raff and Sonny followed once more. The feeling of worry was increasing with each passing second. Riff had never felt so worried for anyone before. No matter what he tried to do, the only thing that would come to his mind was Ansalong.

The wind was blowing faster now. Janet hugged herself, shivering even more. Sonny looked around, hoping to see something that might be connected to Ansalong. To his surprise, he found exactly that. A long way in the distance was a cave. It was large, too. A perfect place for hiding. He turned to look at his mother and Riff Raff.

"Guys, I'm gonna go on ahead to see if that might have something useful, 'kay?" he asked. Janet nodded and watched Sonny run towards the cave. He ran around to face the entrance, and gasped. The inside did not look like a cave, but a strange, crude palace. It had all sorts of strange items hung around, and a giant sign hung to a stalactite which read "DO NOT ENTER!"

Sonny walked back towards Janet and Riff Raff. "Guys, someone lives there. I think we should check it out." Riff and Janet exchanged glances, then nodded. The group began walking towards the cave. Sonny turned to Riff Raff. "Do you have the machine ready? The second we see Ansalong, you've got to shoot her with it. We can't waste any time." Riff Raff nodded. The group then walked to the front of the cave, and Riff and Janet both gasped. Janet took a step backwards, looking rather frightened. Sonny gave her a reassuring look. "C'mon, mom. Let's go." he said. He then walked into the cave.

"O- Okay…" Janet muttered. She followed her son into the cave. The trio walked down a vast hallway and entered a door. Through the door was another hallway. At the end were five crudely-made prison cells. Two of them were completely empty. However, all three of them gasped when they saw who was in the cell to the farthest back.

"Nation! Cosmo!" cried Janet, running over. The siblings both looked up and smiled weakly when they saw the group there to save them. Nation sat up.

"Janet! You've come to save us!" she exclaimed, grinning. However, she suddenly looked rather worried. "But you're gotta be careful! If… if Ansalong sees you here, who knows what she'll do!"

Janet opened her mouth to reply when she heard someone stir in the cell to her right. Riff Raff, Sonny, and Janet all looked over and saw, to their surprise, Neely and Farley, both locked in the same cell. Farley stood up and looked at the trio with desperation in his eyes. "You've got to save us!" he cried. "I… I can't stand this. I… I've gotta get free!"

Neely nodded and stood up. "I don't even know why I'm here! I didn't even do anything!" Farley turned to look at his partner. If looks could kill, Neely would be dead. Riff Raff began to walk towards the McKinleys, hoping to find a way to break them free, when they heard yet another voice from a cell on Janet's left.

"Janet? What are you doing here!"

Sonny and Janet looked over and saw "Rest Home" Ricky. He was sitting in the back of his cell, looking completely and utterly hopeless. Janet gasped when she recognized the man. He had worked on Dentonvale. He had always been by Ansalong's side. The woman walked over to him.

"Ricky? Ansalong captured you, too?" she asked with disbelief. Ricky nodded.

"She was upset that I left her, I guess." he answered, shrugging. He felt rather guilty. He knew by now that he should not have left her. And yet… he could not help but feel as if he had made the right choice. Especially after the way Ansalong had been acting lately. Janet narrowed her eyes and stomped over to him.

"You left her?" she snapped. Ricky had not expected this reaction, and winced a bit. Janet growled. "You do realize that she probably might have-"

"Riff Raff!" screamed a voice suddenly, interrupting Janet. The voice sounded desperate and strained, and Riff recognized it immediately. He turned around to face a very shaken Ansalong. She looked awful. Her hair – which she usually kept in a long ponytail – was frizzing and tangled; she had multiple cuts on her, even though they were not very large. However, by far the creepiest part of her was her eyes, which were rapidly changing from being their normal size, then shrinking, then returning to normal, and so on and so forth.

"Ansalong!" Riff Raff cried, running over to the woman. She quickly jumped backwards, shaking her head desperately.

"Don't come near me!" she snapped, tears forming in her eyes. "I… I'll hurt you." She turned away and began sobbing. "I don't want to, Riff. I… I can't help it." She turned back to face him and her pupils were tiny again. She had long, menacing fangs. Riff Raff ran back to where Nation and Cosmo were.

"Stay away!" she hissed. "If you value your lives, stay away!"

"You stay away, you monster!" snapped a voice. Everyone in the room turned in surprise. To their shock, there stood Neely. Her eyes were narrowed and her voice, for the first time in years, sounded like its normal self. "Don't you hurt anyone else! You hear me? You've already caused enough damage. Well guess what? Janet here has come to stop you! You're going down!" She cheered. Farley, Nation, and Cosmo joined in. Ricky stared at Neely, a look of fear on his face.

Ansalong's eyes narrowed and she stomped over to Neely. She leaned towards the bars of the cell so that she was only inches away from the rebellious woman. She grinned. "Really?" she asked softly, her voice ever so calm. "Do you really think that Janet will stop me?"

Ricky could no longer contain himself. He yelled out, "Neely, don't say anything! She'll hurt you!" Ansalong's attention immediately went to Ricky. her eyes went wide and a look of pure insanity appeared on her face. Riff Raff could tell that she was not Ansalong at all anymore.

"What's wrong, Ricky?" she asked, her voice breathy. "Scared something's gonna happen to Neely?" Ricky did not say anything, but looked away. Ansalong grinned even wider, her fangs showing. They were gleaming threateningly. Riff Raff felt tears form in his eyes.

"Ansalong, please. You don't know what you're doing." he muttered, knowing that the woman could not hear him, and if she had she would have ignored him.

Ansalong turned back to Neely. The latter's eyes narrowed once more. "You don't scare me." she spat. "I've had to deal with much worse than you." She turned and looked accusingly at Farley. It was obvious she was back to her normal self. Ansalong growled.

Roughly ten minutes later, Riff Raff, Janet, and Sonny were locked up, and Neely lay on the prison floor, dead. Ansalong was staring at her prisoners, grinning triumphantly.

A/N …Don't kill me.

BTW, Insanity for Today and Possession are both mentioned on TVTropes. If you go to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, then "Fan Fic Recs", you'll find the entry! :D (I made it myself LOL).

As I said before, Anne Oying just released "Happy Hearts". It's loosely related to Insanity. They mention brainwashing, and of course it's Riffsalong! It seriously made my day! :D Anyone else who's interested in doing the same type of thing is totally welcome to. I don't own anything (sadly)

"If looks could kill, Neely would be dead" – guys, this is really dark forshadowing… and it wasn't even planned! D:

Oh crap. Right after I wrote this chapter, I had a conversation with my sister (who hasn't read this yet). She told me I act the most like Neely out of all the characters in Shock Treatment. So… I just killed myself off…?

Guys, this author's note is totally mood whiplash. Sorry. xD Next chapter will be happier! (I think…)
