I think that's like asking: "What happened before orange?"

Time is a characteristic of our universe, and that includes sequences of events. Except for our gut feeling that time is eternal, we don't have evidence or reason to think that there was a sequence of events before the Big Bang. Remember, inflation is just a best guess based on what we see. I would guess that the notion of time becomes meaningless as you approach the early universe.
