A/N First off, I write these stories as I go… I don't come up with them and then write them. So I don't always have everything planned out. ;) What I mean to say, is when I open up Microsoft Word to type in the new chapter, I honestly have no clue what's gonna happen in it until I write it. Heck, I'm still not sure how this is gonna end!

Anyway, I'm sorry updates are taking awhile. School is super busy. D: I'm sure you all know what it's like…

One more thing! The pink-haired nurse, who started out as a joke, has now turned into an OC that I've been using a lot for Roleplaying on other websites. It doesn't really concern any of you, but I think it's kinda funny xD

Riff Raff burst into the hospital, and the pink-haired nurse looked ready to explode with anger. It was obvious she did not like Riff very much, for he had a way of disturbing her patients at the very worst of times. Walking over to him, the nurse growled and stomped her foot.

"What do you want?" she snapped in a whisper. "You'll wake someone up!"

"Where's Ansalong?" asked Riff Raff, walking over to the room he knew she was in. "I need to talk to her. Is she doing alright?"

The nurse shook her head and stood in front of the door, refusing to let him enter. "General Riff Raff, I'm sorry, but you are not entering this room. The patient in question is currently resting, and I do NOT want to try to get her back to sleep if she is woken. Do you understand?"

Riff Raff stared at the nurse for a moment, before rolling his eyes and shoving her out of the way. "Sorry, but I've got to talk to Ansalong." he told her. He then opened the door very quietly, and found Ansalong sleeping peacefully. He walked over to her. She looked just a bit better than before. Riff Raff turned to face the very annoyed nurse. "How is she?" he asked her.

The pink-haired nurse knew there was no sense arguing. Riff Raff was a general, the king's advisor and close friend, and just plain more important than she was. If she tried fighting him, she would only get herself into trouble. She sighed.

"Well, she's been having nightmares a lot. Since you left her last night, actually." the nurse said. "She keeps on mumbling stuff like 'leave me alone' and 'just go away'. And every now and then she'll start hissing. I've tried waking her up, and her pupils will go all weird. Only for a second, though. Then they'll go normal and she'll usually go back to sleep." She did not sound scared, but worried. She shrugged. "I'm not entirely sure what's wrong."

Riff Raff nodded. "I do." he said with seriousness in his voice. "I know exactly what's wrong." He stared into the nurse's bright blue eyes, showing how serious he was. "Listen to me, Ansalong's not safe to be in here with you. You need a guard. Maybe even two. Trust me."

The nurse just stared back at Riff like he was insane. She opened her mouth to speak, but no sound escaped her. Instead she just swallowed, and nodded. Riff Raff nodded back, then turned back to Ansalong. He sat down in the chair beside her bed and brushed some hair out of her face to look at her. He smiled.

"You'll be okay, Ansalong," he promised her. "I'll find you a way out of this." With these words, he bent down, kissing her on the forehead, and stood up. He began walking out, when he turned back to the pink-haired nurse. "Take care of Ansalong. And be careful around her. Okay?"

The nurse, still very surprise, just nodded. Riff Raff nodded back once more and left the room.

After this mildly disappointing visit, Riff Raff went and found Sonny and Janet, who were currently eating lunch in the royal dining room. Sonny turned and waved at Riff. Janet smiled.

"So, what happened? What did that guy have to say? How's Ansalong?" asked Sonny curiously. Janet nodded, wanted an answer to these questions as well. Riff Raff sighed and looked at the ground, unable to speak for a moment. Finally, he shook his head and said two simple words.

"Split personality,"

Janet and Sonny exchanged glances. The king raised an eyebrow. "But… how? I mean, what about her fangs and all that? How'd she even get a split personality? How'd she get all beat up?" Janet grabbed her son's hand and forced him to her look in the eyes. She shook her head.

"Don't ask too many questions." she commanded. "Let Riff Raff explain everything." She then turned back to Riff. She pointed to a chair across from her and Sonny. "Sit down, Riff," she said. Riff Raff growled. He had told Janet about two thousand times that he hated that nickname, and yet the woman seemed to completely ignore him every time he said something. He knew by now there was no use correcting her, so he just did what she said. Janet and Sonny looked at him expectantly.

Riff Raff sighed. "I went and saw Vic Timm. He said there were a bunch of side effects. Split personality was the rarest, and the most dangerous. It basically eats up the victim's bad thoughts, and turns it against them. As for the fangs and the snake's tongue, I'm not entirely sure what the cause of it is." Riff paused to let the two take this in, before continuing. "Then I went to see Ansalong, but she was resting. The nurse says that she keeps muttering stuff in her sleep."

Janet and Sonny exchanged glances yet again, before Janet spoke. "Well, I learned quite a bit myself." she said, mainly addressing Riff Raff, for Sonny already knew this information. "The McKinley's have gone missing. From what their maid, Penelope, told me, Ansalong took them somewhere. How the heck she managed to get herself so injured is beyond me."

The trio was silent for a very long time. Finally, Riff Raff spoke. "We've got to find a way to help her, you know. She's not going to cure herself. But Vic Timm told me there's no cure…" Riff looked at the ground sadly. He had already lost Magenta (although, that had admittedly been his fault). He was not losing Ansalong too.

Janet could see the sadness in Riff's eyes immediately. She sighed, unable to stop herself from feeling bad for him. She forced a comforting smile. "Hey, Riff, it'll be okay. We'll find something. Ansalong'll be fine." Riff Raff looked up at Janet and smiled back at her. Sonny was grinning. He stood up.

"So, what're you guys waiting for? I don't know about you, but I'm spending the rest of the day on the internet. Split personality's don't cure themselves, ya know!" With these words, the king left the room. Janet nodded, stood up, and began walking too.

"He's right. C'mon, Riff, let's go cure your girlfriend." she chuckled.

Riff Raff nodded and stood up as well. "I will. Just let me go visit Ansalong first. I've got a feeling she's awake by now." Janet nodded and left the room. Riff smiled. For once, he was genuinely grateful to have friends like Sonny and Janet.

Riff Raff walked into the hospital, and it was immediately obvious the pink-haired nurse had not forgiven him for his rudeness earlier. She stomped over to him. Not bothering to be quiet like last time, she snapped, "What do you want, General?"

"I want to see Ansalong." he replied simply, keeping calm. The nurse rolled her eyes and began walking towards Ansalong's room.

"C'mon!" she snapped. She walked over to the door and opened it. It slammed against the wall. Ansalong, who had been laying down, sat up and let out a small shriek of surprise. It was obvious she was not accustomed to loud noises. However, when she turned and saw Riff Raff, she could not help but grin.

"Riff!" she cried happily. Riff Raff smiled and walked over to the woman. He hugged her, and kissed her on the cheek. Letting go of her, he looked into her bright green eyes. For the first time in awhile, she really looked like herself. She stared up at him anxiously. "So…?" she asked, her voice suddenly softening with fear.

Riff Raff sat in the chair beside her bed. "Er…" he sighed. "Your personality's been split." he explained. Ansalong made a strange sound that combined a gasp and a squeak. Riff could not help but smile. However, he became serious again only seconds later. "I'm not sure what's happening exactly, but you've got to be careful. There's, like, a whole part of you focusing only on stealing your dark thoughts and using them against you."

Ansalong raised an eyebrow, but it was obvious she understood. "Okay…" she muttered. "I mean, I'm not exactly sure what to say to this." Suddenly, she looked away. Riff noticed a single tear appear in her eye. "Will… er… will I be okay?"

Riff swallowed, not sure what to say. Vic Timm had said there was no cure for a split personality. However, he could not tell her that. He had to be positive. Forcing a smile, he pulled her close once more and kissed the top of her head. He did not want to let go of her for a long time. He wanted to just hold her close forever. However, he could tell Ansalong was growing impatient. Riff sighed. "I'll make sure that everything will be okay, Ansalong."

Ansalong sniffed. She wrapped her arms around Riff Raff, embracing him. She nodded. "Okay…" she murmured. She felt, for the first time for as long as she could remember, safe. She felt as if Riff Raff would protect her, no matter what happened.

The pink-haired nurse watched in the back of the room, unable to conceal a smile.

A/N So, I've changed my writing style a bit. Does anyone notice? I use slightly less dialogue, and more focusing on emotions. I'm not sure if I'll stay with this style, but for now, that's what I'm using. ;)

I was actually going to give this chapter a MUCH darker ending, but I thought Riffsalong deserved at least one more fluffy scene first. I just love them together so much! I actually spent all of lunch yesterday doodling pictures of them on my note papers xP My friends gave me weird looks, but I didn't care :D

Yeah, like I said before, the nurse is now an official OC of mine. It's not actually going to be mentioned, but her name is Soft Ears. You can tell that her personality has changed a bit, because she now matters a bit more to me xD

One more thing. When I wrote Insanity, I tried relatively hard to come up with decent title names. I'm not even bothering here. I'm just… making it up at I go xP
