Prelude to Insanity.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but my muses, and my oc's, RandomRenoFangirl owns Sandy Mikage...who is mentioned in this fic.

Author's notes: Well there really wasn't supposed to be a second chapter, but I really wanted to write this so I did...I love Sephy, Zack and cloud soo...here it is. I think I'll just post random things up when I need inspiration on CII.

Warnings: Too lazy to type out again

How Sephiroth, Zack and Cloud ended up in Reno's car (Between Chapters 1& 2 of CII)

"Shit, I lost my car keys..." Zack sighs rumaging around his pocket. Sephiroth looks up from glaring at his food and stares at him, Cloud blinks and wonders why Zack said that. While Rufus starts screaming at Palmer for eating his food when he wasn't looking, not that he was actually going to eat it.

"Zack, we're in the middle of the cafeteria. What would you need your car keys for?" Sephiroth asks, poking the throbbing mass on his tray with his fork to see if it was alive and if it was he was going to throw it at Zack. Cloud stares at it, suddenly glad he decided to bring his own lunch today.

"I want to throw them at Hojo, that stupid monkey. No offense to you two, you're pretty intelligent...For monkeys anyways." Zack says reavhing in his back pocket to find his car keys and ending up sticking his hand through the hole in his pocket. Sephiroth and Cloud blink and look at each other.

"Zack, for the last time. We are not monkeys."Cloud says, taking a bite of his sandwich. Sephiroth watches him eat longingly and looks back at the twitching mass on his plate. Somehow he suspects the cafeteria food was what remained of Hojo's experiments cause he's quite certain he saw something that looked exactly like it the last time he went in the lab.

"Yes you are. You guys are just in denial." Zack says waving his fork around all superior like. Cloud and Sephiroth's eyes twitch and they look at each other. Sephiroth starts to reach for Masamune only to remember that that scary blonde psychiatrist 'borrowed' it, so he grabs a carrot, one of the few recognizable items on his plate and stabs Zack with it. "OWWW!"

"You know I hope someday in the future you get a really annoying stalker who loves to hug you til your lungs burst." The blonde says watching Sephiroth stab Zack with the carrot. Cloud looks thoughtful for a moment. "Reeve'll do, but he's stalking that pilot dude."

Zack glares at the liitle blonde, blue eyes narrowing in anger cause somehow he knows that's exactly what's going to happen sometime in the not so near future and it's all Cloud's fault. (A/N: Actually it's all RandomRenoFangirl's fault.) So he does the only thing he can think of in revenge.

"SQUISH!" Cloud screams and falls over twitching. Sephiroth stares at his fallen comrade for a moment shrugs and redoubles his efforts to kill Zack with the carrot.

After five minutes of attempted murder with vegetable weapons and screams of 'Squish', the three SOLDIERs finally come to an agreement: they really need to find Zack's car keys. So they start in the most obvious place, the parking lot farthest from where Zack is parked.

"Hey isn't that Hojo's car?" Cloud asks pointing towards the car covered in chocobo tracks and scorch marks. Sephiroth blinks and looks at it, eyes narrowing as he scans the damage.

"Wow looks like some Psychopath did a number on it." (A/N: Guess who. ) Zack says inspecting the massive burn marks on the vehicle. Sephiroth just nods, trying to figure out what kind of weapon..or spell could've done this. Cloud shrugs and continues the search for Zack's car keys...Which are hidden in Zack's hair, but he doesn't know that now does he.

"Could someone please tell me what a penguin is doing in the parking lot?" Sephiroth asks, looking down at the cute black and white bird as it waddles through the spaces. Cloud and Zack blink in suprise as they watch it slip and go sliding across the parking lot.

"Who knows..." Cloud says, staring at Masamune which has somehow became imbedded in the pillar keeping a ton of concrete from falling on their heads. Sephiroth grins and grabs it, happy to have his favorite weapon back, though he's sadly dissapointed he didn't have to kill anyone.

"So how are we supposed to get home?" Zack asks, looking around desperately. Sephiroth and Cloud look at each other and shrug. Zack continues babbling. "I mean I lost my car keys, Seph's car was either stolen or blown up or both and you don't have a car." He points at Cloud.

"Why don't we ride home with Reno today?" Sephiroth asks pointing to a bright red SUV which was owned by a certain pyromaniac. Zack stops babbling for a moment to stare at his general while Cloud nods thinking it a good idea. Reno lived near them and he was pretty nice.

Unfortunately for them Elena kidnapped Rude and was holding him hostage so she could go warn the leaders of the Bloody Serpents to the danger they were now facing and Reno's car was the only one big enough to hold them all. So they were forced to deal with Elena's personality disorder, Rude's screaming, Tseng's eye twitching, and Reno...enough said.

"So tell me again why we're going to warn the people we're supposed to be kidnapping before we kidnap them?" Reno asks...

TBC...maybe

Ask Reno...Cause MakoAnima had an interesting question.

BloodyChaos: "Say hi to the nice readers Reno."

Reno: "Just the nice ones? What about the not-so-nice ones or the mean ones?"

BloodyChaos: eye twitches "Just say hi."

Reno: "Hi!" waves

BloodyChaos: "Good Pyromaniac...Now you have been brought before me to answer a question."

Reno: "I swear I did not set fire to Hojo's lab...It was Tseng. He made me do it."

BloodyChaos: sweatdrops "That wasn't the question."

Reno: "Ooohhh...Well I still didn't do it."

BloodyChaos: "Whatever anyways...MakoAnima asks: "Where do you get all these lighters?"

Reno: "Oh that's easy. Cid signed me up for this eighty lighters a week program last Christmas. He though it was something I might like and it was really cheap, like 50 gil a year. So each week I get eighty brand new lighters in the mail and that's where all my lighters come from."

BloodyChaos: "Fascinating..."

Review Corner: Thanks to all.

To ElfPrincessG: Thanks for reviewing my SET, I was feeling kind of nervous about posting this.

To RandomRenoFangirl: Lol, I get exactly what you're saying.

To MakoAnima: Well there's the answer to your question...And it's bad to set fire to your homework...before the teacher grades it anyways.

To DarkSpyke: It has been continued...points at Caffeine Induced Insanity which is 100 pure insanity. It's only rated M because I was kind of nervous about it and Cid's potty mouth in a couple chapters.

To Eclipse and Shadow: You poor thing, I know exactly how that is. I have over three hundred muses total, but most of them are off doing various errands that I sent them on so I only count the 32 that are always here annoying me.

To Ryu the Youkai: Yep, if there's one thing I lack it's sanity. And I agree with you, that's why I write so many of my characters as pyromaniacs.

BloodyChaos: "To people who haven't read CII, the last line is a direct quote from the second chapter of CII...I just had to put it in there."

Zach: "...You and your issues."

BloodyChaos: "Anyways, I'm betting this fic won't make a lot of sense unless you go read CII. Which I suggest you do anyways cause it's funny. Kk, please review and tell me what you think. Ciao."
