TeaFlower Presents… because she's bored and has been obsessing over this idea for quite some time now…

WHEN NO ONE WILL LISTEN

Disclaimer: Chrono Trigger and all related stoof don't belong to me. 'Kay? Anyways, this was thought of some time ago, and it involved Vincent Valentine. He don't belong to me, either. (though I wish he did… so I could say, MY Vincent!) But, it would get too confusing. So, I'm getting… someone else… MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA! (wow, that was long!)

Part One: The Cold Truth

All was well in the End of Time. Crono was happily humming the Chrono Trigger theme while shining his awesome katana of doom. Though, I don't see the reason to this. He'll just get it bloody again when he kills something. Marle was messing with her hair. Frog was… um… running around in circles… being chased… by Ayla… and Robo… yeah… moving along, Lucca was toying with her gun. Not a good idea, especially, when it was loaded. But… we look at none of them.

We look at Magus, who was staring at a wall. He was thinking about his life, the lives he took, why the heck he turned Glenn into a FROG and not a CAT (or a dog, you never see dogs in Chrono Trigger!), and all the other things he could've stopped, had he not been a nitwit. Thinking it over made him sad.

"Sometimes," he mumbled, before he yawned, "I think it would be best if I never existed. Cyrus would still live, Glenn wouldn't be attacked by rabid prehistoric women and robots, and… everyone would be happy…" Magus sighed, then fell asleep.

As all our heroes slept soundly, some unknown force went up to Magus. It laughed insanely, then poked Magus's forehead. Magus mumbled something about killer chickens, then stirred a little, but soon stopped. The evil thing cackled, then disappeared.

Magus yawned. What a weird dream! He could have sworn the armies of King Guardia the who cares?-eth were attacking him, Ozzie, Flea, and Slash. Slash was sucking his thumb, Ozzie was dancing to something, and Flea blew up. The soldiers were KILLER CHICKENS! Ah, well… just a crazy dream.

Magus stood, adjusting his gloves. He looked at the sleeping heroes. Crono drooled, Marle made bebebe sounds, Lucca was muttering some science equation, Ayla looked like she was chasing something in her sleep, and Frog made a funny bubble thing. Robo didn't do anything funny because he's a robot. Magus laughed. He knew from experience that these guys could sleep through a volcanic eruption. There was only one way to wake this rag-tag group of vigilantes.

You have to flick the back of their head.

Magus walked over to Crono. It felt appropriate to flick him first. He didn't know why. He got behind him and got ready to flick.

"FLICK!" Magus squealed. (you guys know this is his favorite part of the morning now!) Though, he didn't feel the flick on his fingers. He looked. Then flicked again. And then he realized the problem.

His finger was right in Crono's head.

Magus blinked. He withdrew his hand. Nothing was wrong with Crono. Or his hand. Magus tried poking him, but his arm went right through the poor guy's head. He didn't even seem to notice.

"What the…?" he wondered aloud, then went to his usual next target. Lucca. But the same thing happened. That happened with EVERYONE, even the one he didn't flick (because his finger would hurt a lot), Robo! "What's going on here?" Magus asked, scratching his head. Then, Crono started waking up.

"Ugh… wakie wakie, everyone!" Crono called. No one made a move. Then, Crono looked like he just thought of something brilliant. "PANCAKES!" he screamed. Everyone instantly woke up. Magus growled.

"WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?" Magus screamed. He screamed so loud, his throat hurt. He glared at his allies.

They were still just getting up.

Magus didn't get it. His hand went through everyone, and now, he just screamed at the top of his lungs, and no one said anything about it! He can scream VERY loudly. He ran around, screaming in everyone's ears. No one noticed.

"What the cheese." Magus mumbled. "It's like… it's like… I'm not even here…" He shook his head. "Maybe the people of the past will recognize me. After all, I tried to KILL them ALL!" So, Magus ran to the Gates. They wouldn't take him anywhere.

"What? C'mon! Ugh!" He started hopping up and down on one. "TAKE ME SOMEWHERE, DAMMIT!" Magus was obviously ticked. But then he heard Crono's voice.

"Guys, let's go do something random!" Crono volunteered. Marle had to say something, though.

"Gimme back my pendant, first!" she demanded. Crono handed her the pendant. She slipped it over her head. And then, something blinded Magus for a minute.

"EEK!" he heard Marle scream.

---Wow, that was random. I'm going somewhere with this, though. I hope. But, I hope you like this story! I am BACK, baby!---
