Title: Anachronisms
"Welcome back," said Robo as soon as the three travelers emerged in one of the pillars of light, "Crono, your heart rate is dangerously rapid. Lucca's face is an abnormal shade of red. Ayla is inappropriately laughing. Was there some sort of problem with the device?"
"No problem," declared Ayla, "Crono and Lucca come visit Ayla naked. Should do again. Funny-funny!"
"Crono did WHAT?" roared Marle.
"Crono, please bear in mind that public nudity is socially inacceptable in most time periods..."
Lucca cut Robo off, "It was an ACCIDENT, okay? I tried to make the time key remove anachronisms when we warp to a new time zone. It decided our clothes were anachronisms. And I think it tried to remove Crono's hair too."
"..." Crono complained, rubbing his scalp.
"Technically, they would be prochronisms," pointed out Robo, "You need to word your devices' programming more carefully from now on. You are fortunate that you specified they bounce back to the previous time period rather than be deleted entirely."
"Wait, what would have happened if Robo had gone with you?" Marle asked.
Robo made a little sound like an error message, then commented, "I would like to sit out further experiments."

Summary: An experimental upgrade to the Time Gate Key removes Crono and Lucca's clothes.
