Rayman Legends Adventures in Inside Out/Script

"I can't believe Rae's a mum and Riley's eleven now, it seems like yesterday they were both babies..." Joanie sighed as she sat with Jesse on the couch, "well, what's new for them?"
"I heard they're moving to San Francisco," Jesse pondered.
"I do wonder how their emotions are handling this," Patch said.
"Emotions," Joanie and Jesse asked the puppy.
"Well, you know how reluctant emotions are," Patch replied like it was obvious.
"Ohh, yes, like that one time if I met my emotions," Joanie said.
"Exactly," Patch nodded, "Riley's eleven now, right, Jesse?"
"Yes, I remember since she was yet a baby," Jesse chuckled.
"Well, she'll be in...um...what's that word," Patch pondered.
"Puberty," Joanie replied.
"Yes, she'll be dealing with that soon," Patch nodded, "I do wonder what our emotions are doing right now."
"Too bad we'll never know," Joanie shrugged.
"Or will you," Sid's voice asked.
"Sid, not now, I'm not in the mood....." Joanie moaned, not even trying to make a pun right then, where it made the boys laugh and she looked confused.
"Sid," Jesse asked.
Sid appeared and walked over with a grin.
"Whatever that is, the response is no, I should visit my niece and help her out with any damage she might have with being the new kid in school," Jesse put his hand up.
"This involves with the emotions," Sid said.
"What," the others asked.
"You guys will have to go inside...go deeper..." Sid replied.
"Well, it's like Inception," Joanie asked.
"Alright, you know what, I'll just use my magic and get this over with," Sid said before using his magic on them to make them smaller.
Joanie, Jesse and Patch shrieked suddenly. Then Sid caught them in his hand and put them all in a jar for real.
"Where are we going," Jesse asked.
"I warned you, you need to go deeper, you're going to help your niece go through emotional change," Sid replied.
"Say what," Jesse asked.
"You heard me..." Sid replied, "I just need to change you all into new emotions to fit into Riley's head...huh...what's your best traits?"
"Mine would be sports," Jesse said, "that and homework."
"Well, I'm a dog..." Patch shrugged.
"So endless hunger," Joanie deadpanned.
"Seriously," Sid asked.
Joanie smirked.
"Loyalty," Sid said to Patch.
"Yes, we dogs are pretty loyal," Patch agreed.
"And what for me and Jesse," Joanie asked.
"I guess Jesse could be strength...Joanie, wouldn't it be nice at besides ruining the mood with your permission," Sid commented.
"I'm sure at writing stories," Joanie said.
"Huh..." Sid hummed, "I guess you'll be as useless as ever."
Joanie frowned.
"Huh...I guess she could work in Dream Studios..." Sid shrugged.
"I'll take it," Joanie grinned.
"Dreams are really reluctant to Joanie, right," Patch asked Jesse.
"Yes, I don't get it, but if it makes her happy, it makes me happy," Jesse replied.
"Alright, then," Sid said.
"We're going in my niece's head..." Jesse said before wincing, "if we didn't know you, Sid, that would sound so awkward."
"Wait, what about Gertie and everyone else," Patch asked.
"There's no time," Sid put a lid on the jar for now, "we're gonna go back a little while to until Riley was born."
"We can't spend eleven years away from home," Joanie replied.
"Ah, it'll be alright," Sid shrugged.
"Sid," Jesse frowned.
"It'll be fun," Sid warned them before he opened the jar into sudden darkness.
The three all yelled out and they were in a blank void of darkness that was only pitch black. They looked around, but they couldn't even see or hear anything.
"I hate it if he does that," Joanie frowned.
"Oh, Joanie, you're yet here," Jesse called out, "I landed on something soft."
"Yes, and something hard is sitting on me," Joanie replied.
"Why do I feel something on me," Patch asked.
"Lights please," Joanie called out.
A yellow figure in a green dress with short blue hair was walking over, but looked down to see the trio, she appeared to glow all around her body.
"She must be Joy," Jesse guessed.
"That's my name," the figure replied.
"Could you turn on the lights, please," Joanie asked.
"Sure, I think we're just about to meet our parents," Joy grinned as she came to a yellow button and pushed it, which made a screen appear and the screen was showing a brown-haired couple who were looking down to the baby in their arms.
"Oh, sure," Joanie moaned.
"Can't you ever be positive," Jesse glanced to her.
"Get away from me already," Joanie snapped.
Soon Jesse got away from Joanie.
Then Joanie stood up and cracked her back. "You're paying for my chiropractic bills."
"Alright," Jesse said.
Joy grinned as she saw the parents for the first time and pushed a button to make the baby they were holding a grin. Another figure that was blue in glasses and a sweater came behind her and pushed a button that made the baby cry.
"Oh, sure, Disgrace," Joanie moaned.
"Nice to meet ya, Stick in the Mud," Jesse smirked.
"RAWWWWR," Joanie jumped in the air and went to hit on top of him, only to get a lot of pain.
"Nice try," Jesse smirked.
"I am going to murder you," Joanie frowned.
"STOP FIGHTING," a red figure roared at them and fire seemed to rise from the top of his head.
"Oh, sure, Frustration," Patch moaned.
"Who's the stick in the mud now," Joanie smirked to Jesse.
"Don't wanna hear it," Jesse said.
Two other emotions came out who were purple and green known as Fear and Disgust.
"Disgust seems like a real diva," Patch smirked to Joanie and Jesse.
"Well, looks like I'm gonna have to keep an eye on my niece now..." Jesse sighed since Riley was his niece and they were in a different kind of adventure this time.
"Looks like it," Joanie said.
"This will be an interesting story to warn our children someday," Patch muttered.
"Well, you must be Strength, Loyalty and Creativity," Joy said to the three new 'emotions'.
"That's us," Jesse grinned.
"It's nice to meet you," Fear grinned hesitantly, "you won't hurt me, right?"
"No, we won't," Patch promised.
"You seem to be afraid of almost everything," Jesse said to Fear.
"Well, that's what I do so," Fear replied, "I am Fear after all."
"That's true," Jesse nodded.
"He's so annoying," Frustration complained about Fear.
"Hey, leave him alone," Disgust frowned, "you're the one who's a big bully!"
"Why are you being so defensive for Fear," Joanie smirked at Disgust.
Disgust blinked and turned away, folding her arms. "Because!"
"Because why," Joanie smirked.
"Just because," Disgust said.
Joanie yet smirked.
"SHUT UP," Disgust frowned.
"OK, that's it," Joanie smirked.
"Focus, people, we have a lot to do," Joy took charge.
"Joy's right," Jesse added.
"Uh, I'm in charge, Strength..." Joy replied.
"Oh, um...right," Jesse said.
"But I guess we can share," Joy said.
Jesse grinned to that.
"Oh, boy..." Disgrace sighed, "I just hope this doesn't end badly."
"Don't worry, it won't," Patch assured Disgrace.
"I hope so..." Digsrace sighed as she seemed endlessly depressed.
And then, the eleven years started. They all watched Riley as she grew and they all did their jobs to make her react properly. And where her life seemed like it was perfect. Fear made sure that Riley would be safe. Disgust kept Riley safe as well, emotionally and socially. Frustration made sure facts would be fair for Riley. Joanie managed to make an imaginary friend for Riley and named him Bing Bong. Jesse kept Riley strong until times would get rough, and Patch made sure Riley stayed loyal to her friends and family. Joy, of course, kept Riley happy while she found Disgrace to be sort of useless as she only made Riley mournful.
"Bing Bong," Jesse asked.
"Don't judge me," Joanie deadpanned about the imaginary friend she created for Riley.
"Interesting," Patch said.
Joanie moaned and rolled her eyes as she made the imaginary friend. "Curse my creativity..."
"It's grand," Jesse said.
"I just thought, because Riley loves animals, why not," Joanie shrugged hesitantly.
It was a successful eleven years so far, but one day...the emotions shrieked as Riley's parents sold the house and they were going to move off.
"Should have seen this coming," Jesse said.
"This was not what I had in mind," Joy pouted.
"Well, perhaps it'll get better," Patch said.
"C'mon, Riley, it's time to go," Rae called to her daughter.
Soon Riley went over to her parents.
"She looks so much like my mother," Jesse commented about how Riley appeared physically.
"She sure does so," Patch said.
It was going to be a long ride for everybody as they were going to travel from Minnesota to San Francisco. Joanie was able to keep Riley busy with dreams while everyone else slept. And where Jesse and Joy would always find fashions to keep Riley from being mournful.
Joanie took out what looked like puzzle pieces in a box.
"What are these, Joanie," Patch asked.
"I think they called them fantasies," Joanie said, "we can at least pretend what our new house will look like."
"That sounds cool," Jesse grinned.
"As the others awaken, we'll check this out," Joanie said.
"You like working in the Dream Department, don't you," Patch asked.
"I've always been fascinated by dreams," Joanie admitted.
"I can warn," Jesse said.
"It's just how I've been," Joanie shrugged.
It didn't take long until Joy, Frustration, Disgrace, Fear and Disgust would awaken as Riley had some thoughts and feelings about moving to an entire new state and where they saw new sights during the move.
"Hey, look, the Golden Gate Bridge," Joy pointed out with glee.
"Doesn't look golden to me," Patch pouted.
"Well, it might not be golden, but at least it's better than nothing," Jesse said.
"I sure am glad that you warned me earthquakes were a myth, Joy and Strength," Fear said, "otherwise I'd be terrified right now."
"Uh, yes..." Joy rolled her eyes.
"But I should warn you that places like this can get traffic," Jesse said.
"That should be the worst of the problems," Patch agreed with his master.
Then there was a traffic jam with furious and impatient people.
"These are my kind of people," Frustration smirked.
"I thought you might like it," Jesse said to Frustration.
"You can say that again," Frustration approved.
"Alright, just a few more blocks," Randolph called out, "we're almost to our new house!"
"Step on it, Daddy," Frustration growled impatiently.
"Why don't we just live in the smelly car," Disgust scoffed, "we've already been in it forever."
"How about we fantasize how the new house will look," Jesse asked.
"That's where I come in," Joanie came over with her box.
"It's perfect," Patch smiled.
"Let me see these," Joy took the box from Joanie.
"Ooh, that looks safe," Fear pointed out to the first one, which was like a giant playhouse and even had a slide.
"That one does look like it's fun," Patch said.
"Oh, dear, oh, dear, this one," Joy took out the tree-house one before going to a gingerbread house.
"That one makes me hungry," Patch chuckled.
"Oh, Joy, for the last time, she cannot live in a cookie," Disgust sighed.
"That's the one," Frustration pointed to the castle where Riley was riding on a dragon's back, "it comes with a dragon!"
"How do you even train a dragon," Patch wondered.
"I have no idea," Joanie said.
"Ooh, I'd love to find out," Jesse smirked, "I wish Spike were bigger where we could ride on him."
"Spike doesn't have wings," Patch reminded him.
"Remember since Apple Bloom met Timber," Joanie asked Patch.
"Oh, yes," Patch chuckled sheepishly, "I forgot about that."
"And remember until Spike was shown to have wings," Jesse said.
"I guess I'm not used to that yet," Patch chuckled sheepishly about the baby dragon having wings all along.
Joy was too busy watching what Riley saw. "Now we're getting close, I can feel it," she said out of anticipation.
"I do wonder what the house will look like," Patch said.
"Here it is, our new house," Randolph grinned to Riley.
Riley came out of the car to see the house and she felt crestfallen immediately. It looked rather dark and small, which disappointed the emotions, especially Joy.
"Perhaps it's nice on the inside," Joy replied hesitantly.
"I doubt it," Jesse said.
Riley came inside the house as the door creaked open. It looked empty and rather dark and spooky.
"We're supposed to live here," Frustration scoffed.
"Do we have to," Disgrace pouted.
"I'm warning you, it smells like something died in here," Disgust commented.
"Well, at least there aren't any dead animals in the house," Patch grinned hesitantly.
"Can you die from moving," Fear panicked.
"Guys, you're overreacting," Joy replied calmly, "nobody is dying......"
"A DEAD MOUSE," Disgust pointed.
"Oh, c'mon," Patch complained.
Fear shrieked like a little girl.
"Sure," Frustration complained, "this is just grand."
"I'm gonna be sick," Disgust gagged.
"Let's check the room," Jesse said.
"He's right, Dad spoke about how cool our new room is," Joy agreed, "let's go check it out!"
Then Riley ran up the stairs to find her room in the new house, only to find it was empty and dark like the rest of the house, which disappointed her instantly.
"I'm starting to envy the dead mouse," Disgust pouted.
"It's only like this because Riley hasn't moved anything from the truck into the new room yet," Jesse said.
"Riley can't live here," Disgrace pouted.
The other emotions complained, which then made memories appear and it concerned Joy.
"Did no one listen to me," Jesse asked.
"Guys, guys, take it easy," Joanie warned the others, "listen, we yet have new stuff to set up!"
"Yeah, she's right," Patch nodded.
"It's nothing our butterfly curtains couldn't fix," Joy added in, "I read somewhere that an empty room is an opportunity."
"Where'd you read that," Frustration scoffed.
"It doesn't matter, I read it and it's grand," Joy replied before looking to Joanie, "creativity, a little imagination, please!"
Joanie took out a piece and put it into what looked like a car ignition to help Riley visualize what her room should look like.
"Alright, imagination time," Patch grinned.
"We'll put the bed there and the desk over there," Joy began.
"The hockey lamp goes there," Fear decided.
"Uh, put the chair there," Frustration helped.
"This is all working out perfect," Jesse grinned.
"I think the trophy collection should go there," Patch suggested.
"Stars, I like that," Fear beamed.
"Now we're speaking," Joy grinned, which made Riley also grin, "let's go get our stuff from the moving van!"
Soon Riley ran downstairs, emotional.
"Alright, farewell," Randolph sighed before hanging up the phone and looking to his wife, "the moving van won't here until Thursday."
"You're joking," Rae replied before sighing, "I warned you we should've let my brother or father come with us."
"Sid knew about this," Jesse asked with his eye twitching.
The emotions overreacted again since the moving van wasn't there, which made Riley overwhelmed.
"You said it would be here yesterday," Rae warned her caretaker.
Oddball yawned and shook a little as she came into the room while Rae and Randolph discussed what was going on right now.
"One of us should get out of Riley's head and help," Patch said.
"Might as well be Jesse, I mean he does everything around here..." Joanie deadpanned.
"Joanie..." Jesse sighed.
Then Patch looked to see Oddball. "Well, Oddball's my niece, perhaps I should be the one to go."
"Why not just use the wheel," Fear suggested.
"The wheel," Patch asked, "like the Wheel of Fortune?"
"Yes, only it let's us choose who gets to go into the world outside of Riley's head," Joy said.
"That's odd..." Patch replied.
Then they all came to a wheel that had different colored spaces that represented the emotions' to show who would go help out Riley. Then Joy came to the wheel and spun it to let it decide who would go out and help Riley out.
"I better make sure Joanie stays in Riley's head, but then the dreams can be in control," Sid said as he saw this going on through his crystal ball.
Oddball came up to Riley, silently whining. Riley bent down to Oddball and hugged her mother's puppy, who was now the family pet. After spinning for a while, the wheel slowed down. Sid stood up and he took out his wand and blasted it through the crystal ball to make it land on someone other than Joanie since she was needed in Riley's dreams and soon it landed on Jesse.
"I knew it," Joanie rolled her eyes.
"If you leave Creativity, then who will help the Dream Studio," Joy rhetorically asked.
Joanie sighed. "I guess so..."
"Besides, Riley is my niece," Jesse whispered to Joanie, "I wish Rae would appreciate it if I helped out since I'm Riley's favorite uncle."
"That makes sense," Patch said.
"Alright then, lower the tube," Joy said.
Fear and Disgust pushed a button, which then brought out a tube.
"This is only for emergencies," Joy warned the others. "Now here we go," she pushed the button.
Soon Jesse went up the tube and he was outside of Riley's head and was now his usual self and was in front of the door, he looked around and knocked on it while Rae and Randolph seemed to be arguing about the moving van and where that luckily soon got them to stop.
Rae opened the door and then grinned to see her little brother. "Oh...Jesse."
"Hi there," Jesse grinned back to his trainer as he came inside, but looked around, "wow, what a dump."
"Thanks," Rae smirked, "it's better than your room."
"I came side-by-side to see if I can help," Jesse said.
"I would appreciate it," Rae put her arm around Jesse, "especially since Riley will be new in school."
Riley was concerned about her parents stressing out and decided to play her favorite sport of hockey to lighten the mood. "Anderson makes her move! She's closing in," she used a paper wad as a hockey puck.
"Sounds like someone wants to play her favorite game," Jesse smirked playfully to Riley.
"Oh, dear, you're not," Randolph chuckled as he challenged Riley.
"She's lining up for the shot," Riley smirked as she ran and aimed for the fireplace as a replacement goal and soon where she made the shot. "She shoots, she scores," she cheered for herself.
"Remind me to introduce you to Darla's friend Yuki," Jesse grinned to his niece since the Japanese girl in Hawaii also liked hockey.
"I'd like that, Jesse Greenwood," Riley grinned back.
"Ready for your mum and I to join in," Jesse asked.
"C'mon, Grandma," Riley smirked to Rae.
"Grandma," Rae smirked back before putting her hair up.
"Whoops, you've done it now, Riley," Jesse smirked.
"Now she's in danger," Oddball chuckled.
Rae took out a pillow as Riley played with her hockey stick and Jesse joined in on the fun. Jesse, of course, would be fair by not using all of his strength. Randolph laughed and then picked up his trainer and daughter.
"Cheap shot, cheap shot," Jesse called to his caretaker.
"Jesse Greenwood is right," Riley chuckled.
Oddball playfully growled and bit into Randolph's pant leg. "This is a penalty," she muffled.
Soon Randolph's phone rang. "Ah, I'm sorry, alright, hold on," Randolph took out his cell phone and took the call.
"Wait, what..." Joy pouted.
"You're joking," Randolph said on the other line before sighing, "alright...stall for me. I'll be right there."
Jesse held Riley in consolation.
"What's going on," Oddball asked.
"The investor's supposed to show up on Thursday, not today," Randolph frowned, "I must go."
"It's alright," Rae soothed, "we get it."
"I'll get the rest of your stuff from the moving van and I'll be back before you know it," Jesse said.
"I must get going," Randolph said as he went out the door, "see ya, darling."
"Dad just left," Fear trembled.
"He doesn't love us anymore," Disgrace moaned, "that's mournful...I should drive, right?"
Joy held her back.
"No way," Joanie said.
"Joy," Disgrace looked to the yellow emotion in charge.
"Uh, just give me one second......" Joy replied hesitantly, "um...you know what I've realized?"
"We haven't had lunch," Patch spoke up.
"Will you stop thinking about your stomach, you dog," Joanie complained.
"No, he's right," Joy replied as she took out a memory that showed a pizza shop down the street from the house, "remember?"
"I was right," Patch cheered.
"Foolish dog," Joanie pouted.
"Don't make me bite you," Patch threatened.
"Hey, I saw a pizza place down the street," Riley spoke up, "perhaps we could try that?"
"Pizza sounds delicious," Rae grinned to her daughter, "wanna come, Jesse?"
"Sure, I can get you after lunch," Jesse said.
They came to the pizza shop to check it out and where it was alright until Riley was given the pizza she ordered and it was a broccoli pizza.
"What the hell is this," Fear gagged.
"Who puts broccoli in a pizza," Joy complained.
"That's it, I'm done," Disgust walked away in a huff.
"Congratulations, San Francisco, you ruined the pizza," Frustration growled, "first the Hawaiians, now you!"
Once they had their pizza, Jesse secretly used his magic to make the pizza more delicious.
"Jesse..." Rae silently warned.
"Hey, I'm not breaking the rules if she doesn't notice," Jesse defended since Riley wasn't of age to learn about her magical abilities yet.
"Well, at least the pizza is better now," Rae said.
Jesse grinned innocently.
After pizza, they were headed back to the house.
"I think we should be lucky the pizza had other best choices," Rae said to her daughter on the walk back home.
"Yes, and it's such a nice fact the broccoli is gone," Riley said.
"You could call it magic," Jesse smirked.
"Don't press," Rae warned her brother silently, "but not as bad as that soup in a Nebraska restaurant, I admit."
"Oh, yes," Riley chuckled, "this spoon stood up in itself! This is disgusting....."
Soon this gave Joy an idea by one of the memories.
"Dad's had a steel stomach," Riley continued.
"This ride was pretty fun, wasn't it," Rae grinned, "what was your favorite part?"
"Spitting out the car window," Frustration suggested.
"Certainly not if Papa sang," Disgust scoffed.
"Seat belts on," Fear suggested.
"Oh, what about the dinosaur time," Joy suggested before she ran over and pushed a button.
And soon, a memory showed.
"I enjoyed my time with the dinosaur," Riley grinned up to Rae, "this was pretty funny."
Rae laughed with Riley until Riley's grin suddenly turned into a frown.
"What just happened," Joanie asked before turning around.
Disgrace was touching the memory, which turned it from yellow to blue.
"Disgrace, stop," Patch warned her.
Soon Disgrace let go and looked soft.
"Oh, sure, now the memory is mournful," Patch moaned.
"What have you done," Joy asked as she took the memory.
"I just touched it," Disgrace said.
Then Joy tried to change the memory back, but it didn't seem to work.
"I don't think you can turn that back into a happy memory," Jesse said.
"Nice work, Disgrace," Disgust deadpanned, "now that Riley thinks about this moment with Dad, it'll be mournful. Bravo!"
"I'm sorry, guys," Disgrace pouted, "I really don't know.....I thought perhaps if....."
"We'll speak about this later," Patch said.
"Joy, the stairs are coming," Disgust said.
"Just don't touch any other memories until we know what's going on," Joy warned Disgrace as she came to control Riley.
"Alright," Disgrace frowned.
"Alright, get ready," Joy beamed, "this is the monster railing, and we're riding it to the end!"
"You want to slide, Riles," Jesse asked his niece. "I'll show you," he latched on the railing and slid down it. "Whee," he landed on his feet and turned back with a grin, "c'mon!"
Riley chuckled to him, but she was about to join him, but for some reason, she frowned and decided against it.
"That was weird," Jesse said.
"Wait, what just happened," Joy frowned.
A sphere was rolling toward the emotions.
"Isn't that a Primal Memory," Joanie picked up.
Disgrace looked out to the islands that had Riley's personality traits and one of them appeared to be shutting down.
Soon Joanie rushed and put the Core Memory back in place. "Stay in there..." she groaned as she tried to put the memory back in place.
Joy looked out to see Goofball Island was blacking out, but soon was back in light for now.
Soon Riley came back to the railing and slid down it. "Whoo-hoo!"
"That was close," Patch sighed.
"I wanted to hold....." Disgrace reached out.
Then Patch blocked her off the Core Memories. "No, Disgrace!"
"Think nice, Loyalty," Joy said.
Disgrace frowned as she felt neglected and useless.
"Why don't you try to think of something fun," Joanie suggested.
"Huh...oh! Remember the funny movie where the dog dies," Disgrace suggested with an amused grin.
"This is not funny," Joy said.
Joanie hid a chuckle until Joy flashed a "shut up" look to her.
"Alright, what about this time with Meg, Riley was laughing so hard milk came out of her nose," Joy suggested, cracking up laughing while trying to warn the story.
"Yes, the pain, it felt like fire," Disgrace pouted, "oh, that was horrible....."
"Alright, why not try to think of something fun," Patch suggested.
"What are you favorite facts to do," Joy asked.
"My favorite," Disgrace asked, "um, well, I like it if we're outside..."
"Sure," Joy beamed, "like the beach and the sun! Oh! Just like since we buried Dad up to his neck in the sand."
"I was thinking more like pouring rain," Disgrace droned.
"Oh..." Patch said.
"Rain pouring? Pouring rain is my favorite as well," Joy grinned hesitantly, "we can stomp in the puddles. You know, there are cool umbrellas, thunderstorms..."
"Until the pouring rain runs down your back and your shoes are soaked," Disgrace sulked. "And we get wet, cold, we shiver and everything starts to drop," she fell flat on her face and began to weep.
"Will she ever stop being mournful," Patch moaned.
"Her name is Disgrace," Joanie replied.
"She's the opposite at where we're headed now..." Joy moaned to herself as Disgrace wept.
"Can she read one of the books," Patch suggested.
"Disgrace, why are you weeping now," Joanie asked.
"Weeping helps me slow down and be obsessed with the burden of life's problems," Disgrace looked up before going back into her weeping fit.
"Oh, boy," Patch moaned. Then he pushed Disgrace over to the bookshelves.
"Let's read some instructions on the mind," Joy agreed, "that sounds fun!"
"I've read most of them," Disgrace sulked.
"One you haven't read," Patch asked her.
"This one seems interesting," Joy said as she took out one of the books, "'Long Term Memory Retrieval: Volume 47'."
"The one I haven't read," Disgrace had to admit.
"Alright, then how did you read this," Patch suggested.
Disgrace took a look through the book.
"You see? It's fun already," Joy beamed. "Oh, you happy dog....you read these cool stuff, we have to go to work, life is so unfair....." she sighed boredily as she came back over to the control panel.
Back in the outside world......
"I can't believe how much you've grown," Jesse grinned to Riley, "I remember yesterday, you were a baby, I remember our first Christmas..."
"I remember a white dog named Puppy Paws..." Riley replied.
"Who was to be called Holy Paws then," Jesse grinned.
"I was small, but I yet remember," Riley replied.
"Er...this must be one of your first memories," Jesse ruffled up his niece's hair.
Soon then they got back home.
Riley went to get her pajamas on as it was getting dark.
"Emotional to start your new school," Jesse asked.
"I guess..." Riley sighed as she was a little hesitant about it.
"Don't worry, you'll like your new school," Jesse assured her.
"You think so," Riley asked.
"I know so," Jesse hugged her gently and softly, "warn you what, I'll go with you."
"Thanks, Jesse Greenwood," Riley grinned.
"C'mon, let's go see if your parents are ready for you," Jesse walked with her.
Oddball grinned up to Riley as her tail wagged out of emotion.
"Looks like Oddball sure is," Jesse grinned.
"Uh-huh! Uh-huh," Oddball beamed, "uh-huh, uh-huh, surrounded!"
Riley grinned, but sighed as her parents were having their own problems right now. "Mummy, Daddy, come kiss me goodnight!"
"Please say yes, please say yes," Patch begged.
Randolph and Rae were too busy right now, but they promised they would come up soon. Riley frowned as she went up to her room with Oddball behind her.
"You heard your father," Fear shivered, "he sounded really upset."
Once Riley got to her new room, she saw everything from her old room was there and where it was all as she had imagined and she knew her favorite caretaker did this for her as Jesse placed the last item of Riley's in the room. Riley felt a little hesitant sleeping in her new room, but Oddball's company and the fashion her room was the fashion it was supposed to be was helping calm her down a little.
"I know it's not your old room, but it's better than sleeping on the floor," Jesse said to Riley.
"Thank you so much, Jesse Greenwood," Riley said, "um...you don't think there are bears in San Francisco, do you?"
"No, bears only live in the forest," Jesse said.
Riley yet felt hesitant. Oddball came to the top of Riley's bed and nuzzled against her.
"Oh, I love you as well, girl..." Riley hugged the growing dalmatian puppy.
"I yet believe how much she's grown," Jesse grinned.
Oddball grinned back.
"Is that true she's your dog's niece," Riley asked.
"Yes, just like you and me," Jesse grinned to her.
"Cool," Riley grinned.
Jesse patted her on the head.
Riley hugged him nice and tight. "How'd you get so strong?"
"I'll let you know one day," Jesse promised, "do you want me to walk you to school tomorrow?"
Riley pouted about her new school, but then nodded as that sounded like a nice idea. Oddball suddenly had an idea about Riley going to school, but she would wait.
"Can you take me to school," Riley whispered to Jesse since she knew one of the family secrets.
"We'll try not to present too much unnecessary attention, but I'll get you there in no time," Jesse chuckled.
"Please, at least fly me there as Saiya Man," Riley begged.
"Time to activate the puppy dog eyes," Joy said.
The other emotions agreed. Joy pushed a button, which made Riley's eyes big with a whining pout.
"Oh, Riley, do you really think you can do this with–" Jesse replied until he looked into her eyes and saw Oddball was doing the same fact to help him give in. "Oh, alright," he said, "I'll do it...just don't warn your mum."
"I already know and I'm fine with that," Rae said as she came into the room.
"GAH," Jesse yelped and then grinned hesitantly, "I was just sending Riley to bed..."
"Hey, Mum," Riley looked to her mother, "where's Dad?"
"On the phone," Rae sighed as she rubbed her eyes through her new glasses, "this new venture keeps him very busy."
"Well, at least my stuff got here," Riley said.
"I helped," Jesse grinned.
"Yes," Rae grinned back before sighing about her husband, "oh, Riley, your dad's a little stressed, you know, about getting his company up and running, but at least your Jesse Greenwood is here like I wanted."
Riley pouted slightly in frustration.
'I can already warn you that Frustration has taken control a little,' Jesse thought to himself.
"I guess what I really want to say is thank you," Rae grinned to her daughter, "you know, through all this fuss, you've been...well, you've made our girl happy. Your dad's been under a lot of pressure, but if you and I keep grinning, even Oddball and Jesse Greenwood, that would be of big help. We can do this for him, right?"
Then Joy pressed a button to make Riley grin.
"Yes, sure," Riley grinned back to her trainer.
"Thatta girl," Jesse grinned.
"What have we done to deserve you," Rae also grinned before kissing Riley on the forehead and turned out her light, "c'mon, Jesse, I'll show you a room."
"Right behind you, sis," Jesse grinned before following her.
"Sweet dreams," Rae warned Riley and Oddball before shutting the door behind her and Jesse.
"Good night..." Riley said before drifting away to sleep.
"Ooh, that's my cue," Joanie said as she went over to a tube and was sucked down it as she ran to the other side of Riley's head where the dream department was, "just in time."
"Looks like we're heading into REM," Joy warned the others, "I have Dream Duty, where I'll take care of them sending them to Long Term."
Then the others went off for the night as Joanie went into Riley's dream.
"Alright, what's going on today, Department of Dreams," Eleanor asked.
Joanie made the dream nice and happy at first with the family flying in the clouds until they came to a haunted mansion-like fashion with ghosts and the dead mouse speaking to her, with a bear that had broccoli pizza, but soon it changed as Jesse was shown as a superhero in Riley's dream. Joanie was mostly using Fear and Disgust's memories for the dream since Riley was not that happy about the move, but she decided to put Jesse in to help save the day where Riley wouldn't have a nightmare.
Joy was happy to watch this as the dream was now looking more like a movie as the bear, dead rat and broccoli all combined and became a warrior and where Jesse wasn't afraid to fight it. Riley grinned in her sleep as she had a peaceful dream and was now emotional about going to school tomorrow, but yet wanted Jesse to go with her. However, but before Riley could awaken, Oddball sneaked into Riley's backpack like her Uncle Patch would with Jesse and she chuckled to herself in emotion.
Once the next day came, Jesse was ready to go superhero where he could fly Riley to school. Riley was emotionally eating her breakfast, though she did wonder where Oddball went to as she wanted to say a farewell to her dog first before going to school.
"Hello, I awaken you all," Joy smirked to the others as she played an accordion.
"Do you have to play this," Frustration complained.
"Yes, do you," Patch moaned.
"Well, I have to practice," Joy grinned. "And I don't think of it as playing as much as cuddling! Alright, first day of school," she zipped down to the control panel, "I was up late last night discovering a new plan, here it is, FEAR!!"
Fear gasped slightly.
"I need a list of possible outcomes on the first day of a new school," Joy commanded.
"That must be easy for him," Patch said.
"Far ahead of you," Fear nodded, "does anyone know how to spell 'meteor'?"
"M-E-T-E-O-R," Patch warned him.
"Disgust, make sure Riley stands out today, but also steep," Joy warned the green emotion as she got her make-up on.
"I agree with Joy," Joanie said as she came in.
"If I break up with Riley, the other children will look at their own clothes and throw up," Disgust smirked.
"Joy? Yes, Joy. You'll be in charge of the console, keeping Riley happy all day. And may I add, I love your dress, is this so adorable? Oh, that old fact, thank you so much, I love the fashion it turns," Joy spoke with herself.
"TRAIN," Joanie called out.
Soon the Train of Thought came in.
"Train of Thought just in time," Joy grinned, "Frustration, unload the Creativity daydreams, I ordered extra in case facts got slow in class."
"It might be useful if this school is complete with boring, useless classes," Frustration agreed, "which it probably will be!"
"Of course, possibly yes," Joanie said.
"Oh, Disgrace, I have a super reluctant job for you," Joy stopped the blue emotion.
"Really," Disgrace grinned.
"Uh-huh, follow me," Joy replied before taking out chalk and drawing a circle around her.
"Smart," Patch grinned.
"It's perfect! This is the Circle of Disgrace," Joy explained, "your job is to make sure all the despair stays inside it."
"Well, you want me to stay here," Disgrace asked.
"Hey, it's not my job to let you know how to do your job, just make sure all the despair stays in the circle," Joy replied, "you see? You're a pro at this! Isn't this fun?"
"No," Disgrace pouted.
"Look, this way, you don't leave any mournful memories," Patch said.
"Alright, everyone, start over," Joy walked over, "it's going to be an even better day since Jesse Greenwood is taking us to school!"
"So, big day..." Rae grinned to Riley as she helped with the backpack, "your bag seems a little heavier than I remembered."
"I was hoping I could say a farewell to Oddball," Riley replied as she got her backpack on.
"Oh, I'm sure she's around here somewhere," Randolph said.
"New school and new friends," Rae grinned.
"I know! I'm kind of hesitant, but mostly emotional," Riley grinned back, "how do I look? Do you like my shirt?"
"Very cute," Rae nodded. Soon she looked upstairs to see if Jesse had changed into his superhero suit yet. "Jesse, Riley's gonna be late for school," she called out.
"Almost ready," Jesse said as he polished his red visors before putting them over his eyes, "alright, ready!"
"Let's see your outfit, Jesse Greenwood," Riley grinned.
Jesse stepped out and came down the stairs with a smile. He had his red visors on along with a white cape with matching gloves and boots and had a black and green outfit on.
"Awesome," Riley was ecstatic.
They were about to leave.
"Have a grand day at school, Monkey," Randolph grinned.
Then Riley and Randolph growled to each other like monkeys before Riley went out the door.
Rae even joined in after a moment before chuckling. "Have a grand day, darling!"
"Ready for flight, Saiya Man style," Jesse asked Riley.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh," Riley nodded eagerly.
Jesse grinned as he gently picked up Riley and flew into the heavens with her. Jesse looked around until he found Riley's school as Riley enjoyed the flight very much so far. And soon he landed in front of the school.
"Wow, Riley, this looks like a nice school," Jesse grinned.
"It sure does so," Riley grinned back.
The students spoke amongst themselves until they looked up into the heavens.
"Hey, is that the new girl," a boy whispered as he held a basketball.
"She knows a superhero," a girl replied.
"Looks like Jesse Greenwood has given us some rep," Joy grinned.
"Of course, part of my plan to help Riley stand out," Disgust smirked smugly.
"Smart," Patch approved.
Jesse grinned as he gently placed Riley down on the ground and the other students looked over to her in shock and emotion.
"Have a nice first day of school, Riley," Jesse grinned down to his niece once he set her on the ground gently.
"Thanks," Riley grinned back.
Jesse gave her another hug before going away back to the Anderson house. Riley took a deep breath and ran into the school to begin her new life in a new town in her new school. And where it seemed to now start out grand as everyone seemed emotional that she knew a superhero.
Riley found the road to the classroom and she sat at the empty desk in the room as the other students spoke amongst themselves while she tried to warn herself to be calm and careful.
"Okay, we've had a group of cool girls, 2:00," Disgust noted as Riley looked to a small group of girls speaking to each other, appearing to be gossiping.
"How do you know," Patch asked.
"Double ears pierced," Disgust warned him, "infinity scarf....."
"Ohh," Patch said, now understanding.
"Woah, is she wearing eye shadow," Joy asked.
"Yes, we want to be friends with them," Disgust replied.
"Let's go speak to them," Joy encouraged.
"Hey! Stop! Stop," Joanie stopped Joy.
"What's wrong," Joy asked.
"We can't speak to them, we want them to like us," Joanie replied.
"Oh, yes...wait, what," Joy asked out of confusion.
"Creativity is right," Disgust agreed.
"And how are we going to do that without speaking to them," Patch asked.
"It's a girl fact, you wouldn't understand," Disgust rolled her emerald eyes.
"Almost done with the potential disasters," Fear said as he walked over with a large stack of papers, "worst case scenario is either quicksand, spontaneous combustion, or getting called on by the teacher. So as long as none of these happen--"
"Wait for it," Patch said.
"Alright, everybody," the teacher walked in, "we have a new student in class today."
"Are you joking me," Fear panicked, "out of the gate?! This is not happening!"
"Riley, would you like to warn us something about yourself," the teacher prompted.
Soon Riley stood up to warn then about herself.
"Pretend we can't speak English," Fear panicked.
"Don't worry, I had this," Joy replied as she took control.
"Uh, alright..." Riley stood up as all eyes were on her, "my name is Riley Anderson. I'm from Minnesota and now I live here..."
That seemed to be all she had to say for now. Everyone else appeared to be staring into Riley's soul, which made her feel even more shy and uncomfortable.
"And how about Minnesota," the teacher replied before chuckling, "can you warn us something about it? Well, you certainly get more snow than we do so."
Joy laughed at the teacher's little joke. "She's hilarious!"
Joanie simply rolled her eyes as she didn't get the joke.
"Yes, it gets pretty cold," Riley let out a small grin, "the lake freezes over, and that's if we play hockey, and sometimes I throw snowballs at Oddball, she catches them in her mouth...I'm on a grand hockey team, we're called the Prairie Dogs. My friend Meg plays forward and my dad's the coach...pretty much everyone in my family skates..."
Soon the emotions played one of the memories of her playing hockey.
"It's kind of a family tradition," Riley continued as she remembered the nice times, "we go out on the lake almost every weekend."
However, the memory turned to blue, which only meant one fact...
"Or we did so....until I moved off....." Riley frowned.
"Disgrace, leave the memory alone," Patch warned her once he turned around to see Disgrace was touching the memory.
"Oh, I know, I'm sorry..." Disgrace pouted.
"Get back in your circle," Joy scolded as she pushed a button, but nothing happened at first, "why won't it eject?!"
"I don't think Riley's in the mood to forget it," Joanie said.
"We used to play tag and stuff," Riley sniffled as she began to weep.
"Cool children whispering at 3:00," Disgust panicked.
"They're judging us," Fear yelped.
Soon Patch panicked as Disgrace was losing control. The others tried to help Joy take the memory to make it happy again, but it was pointless since it was now a mournful memory.
"But, everything's different now......" Riley frowned, which made Oddball peek out a little and silently whine since her best friend was unhappy, "since we moved...Jesse Greenwood is visiting, but it's just not the same......"
"Oh, dear, we're weeping at school," Fear flipped out.
"Disgrace, stop! Get away from the controls now! You are making this first day at school worse," Patch warned her.
"I'm sorry," Disgrace frowned.
Then a Core Memory appeared and it was blue.
"It's a Core Memory," Fear panicked.
"But it's blue," Disgust pouted.
"Oh, dear, we have to stop it from getting to the rest of the Core Memories," Patch said.
"Stop that memory," Joy tried to stop the sad memory, but she couldn't due to the fact, but soon she picked it up.
"Now, let's dump this baby," Patch decided.
"Joy, no, it's a Core Memory," Disgrace begged as she came over and incidentally made the other Core Memories fall out.
"Oh, c'mon," Patch complained before he rushed and helped get all of the Core Memories, except for the new one.
This seemed to make the islands shut down. Joy yelped and then she tried to put the Memories back into place. Then the blue memory was going through a tube and Joy tried to stop it and Disgrace got sucked up with her as they flew in through the tube.
"Oh, crud," Joanie yelped.
"Cherry, you must get them," Patch pushed the perky goth by his head.
"Are you nuts," Joanie cried out in despair.
"Please," Patch begged, using the puppy dog eye trick.
"Patch, that's not gonna work," Joanie said as she was suddenly stopped.
Patch narrowed his eyes, but pushed her in with his head. Joanie yelped as she fell in through the hole and was then sucked in through the tube.
"Thank you, Riley," the teacher said as the blonde girl sat back down in her desk, "I know it can be rough moving to a new place, but we're happy to have you here. Alright, everyone, get out your history books and turn to chapter seven."
"Wait, without Joy, this is could be a problem," Patch said.
"Can I say the new curse word I learned now," Frustration asked.
"Go ahead," Patch shrugged.
Joanie, Disgrace and Joy cried out in grief as they were sucked through the tube.
"This isn't as much fun by incident," Joanie yelped.
Soon they all ended up with all the memories that went through the tube end up.
Joanie landed first as Joy and Disgrace landed after her.
"I found them," Joy held the memories before looking around, "where are we?"
"This is the Long Term Memory place," Joanie replied as she came down here every night for Riley's dreams.
"Oh, sure," Joy moaned.
Joanie came out of the box and then flapped out her sweatshirt as a few of the memory spheres rolled out. Soon Disgrace and Joy both got out.
"Goofball Island," Joy looked up as she saw one of the shut down islands before looking out to the others.
"Riley's Islands of Personality," Disgrace cried out in despair, "they're all shut down! Oh, this is bad..."
"This is no time to panic," Joanie said.
"Creativity is right, we...we can fix this," Joy replied, "we just have to get back to Headquarters, plug the Core Memories in, and Riley will be back to normal!"
"Riley has no Core Memories," Disgrace frowned, "no Personality Islands...and no...oh!"
"What, what is this," Joy asked.
"You..." Disgrace pointed to her, "you're not in Headquarters...without Joy, Riley can't be happy. We must get her back up there."
"Creativity, do you know how to get us back to Headquarters," Joy asked Joanie.
"There's a bridge down that fashion," Joanie pointed out.
"That's grand," Joy grinned.
Back at school...
Riley sighed as she was isolated from the other children since she wept in school, which gave her a bad reputation even if she did know a superhero. Then she took out her backpack and was about to take out her lunch until she looked in. "Oddball," she asked, "what're you doing here?"
Oddball grinned and nuzzled up against Riley.
"Aw, you had a feeling I might need you, right," Riley grinned.
"Luckily, I found a book warning about one of us able to yet make Riley happy and grinning," Patch said as he took control.
"For now anyhow, it won't last forever without Joy," Frustration replied.
"This'll do for now," Patch nodded.
"You'll just have to act as Joy for now," Disgust said to Patch.
"I'm sure I can do that," Patch said.
Later after school, it was time for dinner......
The family was having Chinese takeout.
"Uh, interesting choice," Jesse said.
"Who doesn't love Chinese," Rae grinned.
Riley picked at her food, but she was glad that Oddball managed to sneak into school to cheer her up. Jesse simply shrugged before joining in.
"C'mon, be happy," Patch pouted as he tried to make Riley happy, "oh, who am I joking? Riley's homesick and there's nothing I can do to make her happy but just grin."
"Hey, Riley, I have best news," Rae grinned, "I found a junior hockey league right here in San Francisco, and get this; try-outs are tomorrow after school! What luck, right?"
"Hockey," Frustration asked.
"Whoops, what have we done," Disgust asked as Joy wasn't there to make Riley grin.
Soon Patch took control where Riley would grin. Riley's grin wasn't all the road, it was almost like a small smirk like how Joanie would show slight happiness.
"Won't it be grand to be back on the ice," Rae grinned to her daughter.
Soon Patch looked through the book to see that it said there was a lever for nodding Riley's head. Disgust pushed a button herself.
"Yes, that sounds fantastic," Riley replied silently.
"What was that," Fear yelped at her, "that wasn't anything like Joy! At least Loyalty made her grin!"
"Uh, because I'm not Joy or Loyalty," Disgust folded her arms with a scoff.
"Just let me handle the controls until Joy gets back," Patch said.
Inside Rae's head....
"Did you guys pick up on that," Rae's Disgrace asked.
The rest of Rae's emotions agreed as they knew something had to be up with Riley.
"Should we find out what's going on," Rae's Fear asked.
"Let's probe, but keep it subtle so she doesn't notice," Rae's Disgrace suggested to Rae's Joy.
Rae's Joy nodded and took controls.
"Well, how was the first day of school," Rae asked her daughter.
"She's probing us," Frustration moaned.
Soon Patch took control and pushed a button.
"It was pretty nice since Jesse Greenwood took me to school, I guess..." Riley said as she picked at her food.
"Isn't there like some kind of microphone," Patch asked.
"You mean you wanna try to be Riley's conscience," Fear asked.
"Yes," Patch nodded.
"Where is that button," Fear pondered.
Disgust looked around.
"Over here," Frustration said as he pointed to the button on the side of the controls.
Then Patch went to that control.
Then Rae tried to get her caretaker's attention to help him help with speaking with Riley about school.
Randolph's mind seemed to be elsewhere as he was thinking more about a hockey game he saw the other day.
'Seriously,' Jesse thought to himself as he knew Randolph wasn't paying attention.
"Ahem," Rae cleared her throat.
Soon Randolph looked up once he saw his trainer looking at him.
'This isn't nice for him,' Jesse thought to himself as he saw Randolph looking like he wasn't paying attention.
"Oops, she's looking at us," Randolph's Frustration noticed, "what did she say?"
"What? Oh, uh...I'm sorry, sir, nobody was listening," Randolph's Fear replied.
"Oh, sure, he's making that dumb face," Rae's Frustration moaned.
"I could strangle him right now," Rae's Disgust growled.
"Signal him again," Rae's Disgrace told Rae's Joy.
Then Rae glanced to her husband and then their daughter where Randolph would take the hint.
"Ah...well, Riley, how was school," Randolph asked.
This caused for Jesse to face-palm. Oddball even moaned and shook her head.
"For this we gave up that Brazilian helicopter pilot," Rae's Frustration snapped.
"Move, I'll be Joy," Frustration took over.
"No, Frustration," Patch panicked.
"School was grand, alright," Riley growled.
Soon Patch tied Frustration up until after dinner.
"Let me out," Frustration snapped.
"No, you're gonna get Riley in danger," Patch frowned before soon he rushed back to the controls and pushed the button on the side.
"You sure you know what you're doing here," Disgust asked.
"I saw this on Osmosis Jones," Patch reassured.
"Whatever," Disgust shrugged.
Soon a microphone came up on the controls.
Patch cleared his throat. "Testing, one, two, three...testing, one, two, three..."
Riley blinked as she ate little bits of her dinner.
"Riley, relax, I'm your conscience," Patch spoke.
"You are," Riley whispered after swallowing her food.
"Yes, and believe me, I know life is rough, but you can get through it," Patch replied, "the last fact your parents or anything else need is your disappointment, and I will be here for you."
"Thanks," Riley grinned silently.
"It'll get all better......I promise you....just believe in yourself......" Patch grinned back.
"Alright," Riley whispered.
Patch grinned as he took care of this.
Frustration muffled as he attempted to get free. "YOU LITTLE SH----"
Then Patch pushed a button that bleeped out Frustration.
"Let's just let Loyalty handle this," Fear said.
"Don't worry about school, Riley," Jesse soothed his niece, "it'll get better."
"I hope," Riley frowned.
Oddball nuzzled up against Riley in consolation. Soon Riley petted Oddball as a fashion of showing she appreciated Oddball being there. Oddball grinned.
"May I be excused," Riley asked.
"Sure, darling, go ahead," Rae allowed as she could understand how Riley felt, she felt the same fashion until she moved away from Beach City since she was younger.
"We're almost there," Joanie said.
Riley left the table and came upstairs to her room as Oddball followed her.
One morning, Arthur awakened to the peaceful sounds of birds singing in the tree next to his bedroom window.
"Aahhhh, nothing like waking up and not having to put up with Crazy Bus before breakfast," Arthur warned himself.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the music started playing, LOUD AND LONG.
"Aw, man! I spoke too soon," Arthur grumbled.
D.W. was carrying her CD player around while singing along to "Crazy Bus".
"The only fact worse than Crazy Bus being played all day is having D.W. singing along to it all day," Arthur added.
Sure enough, the whole family were eating, or at least trying to eat while D.W. was listening to her music and singing.
"D.W., may you please turn off THAT song while we're trying to eat," Arthur asked.
The four-year-old pulled her CD player towards herself and wrapped her arms around it.
"No! It's MY music and YOU can't warn ME what to do," D.W. retorted.
Arthur face-palmed himself, he asked D.W. nicely to turn off the music during breakfast, and she refused.
"D.W., Arthur acted nicely, we agree with him, your music is too loud, you may listen to it after breakfast," Jane warned her.
Sure enough, D.W. turned off the music and continued to eat.
"Thanks, Mum," Arthur said.
"No problem, Arthur," Jane warned him.
Once their breakfast was done, D.W. was listening to "Crazy Bus" in her room. However, it was loud enough to be heard from the living room. Arthur was trying to watch TV, he didn't want to have turn up the TV where he could hear it properly. Then, he was just not gonna start a fight.
A few hours had passed and D.W. was yet playing Crazy Bus on her CD player. Arthur was walking upstairs to confront D.W. about it.
"D.W., I have put up with THAT song all morning without arguing with you, well, if you don't mind, may you please listen to your music with headphones," Arthur pleaded.
"Huh, nope, I only do so what Mum and Dad warn me, you're not the boss of me," D.W. sneered.
Arthur's expression was of rage and frustration, he stomped away and went to his parents about the problem. Jane was at her computer and David was watching TV.
"Mum, Dad, we need to speak," Arthur said.
The parents stopped what they were doing and turned to Arthur.
"What is this, Arthur," Jane wondered.
"It's D.W., she's driving me crazy with THAT Crazy Bus song, it's been playing all morning and I was trying to ignore it, but it's impossible with it being a high volume," Arthur explained.
Jane and David nodded.
"It's been bothering us as well, but you have been very mature about it without trying to pick a fight with D.W., we're proud of you," Jane warned him.
"Don't worry, Arthur, we'll speak to her," David reassured him.
Arthur grinned.
"Thanks guys, I'm glad we've had this speak," Arthur commented.
"You're welcome, now your mum and I have to speak to D.W.," David replied.
Arthur nodded and sat on the couch, but he found a show that he liked: Bionic Bunny.
Meanwhile, D.W. eventually turned her music off, but it was because Jane persuaded her to.
"There is a reason why your dad and I are here, your Crazy Bus song is driving everyone in this house crazy, we think a week without Crazy Bus is fair since you refused to silence it down or use headphones, Arthur was very nice about it and came to us until he couldn't solve the problem himself," Jane explained.
D.W. was shocked. Nobody had the right to take away her Crazy Bus disc and CD player, and I mean NOBODY.
"You can't take away my Crazy Bus, Arthur should be punished, he was referring to my Crazy Bus as THAT music or THIS song to my face twice today," D.W. pleaded.
David sighed.
"Arthur didn't do anything wrong, it was all you, if you don't stop mouthing off to us, we'll take it away for two weeks," David scolded.
D.W. sighed and decided to stop since one week without Crazy Bus was hard enough.
"Alright, farewell Crazy Bus, I'll miss you," D.W. said.
Jane picked up the CD player and placed it somewhere in her room. However, D.W. had one trick up her sleeve, before her parents showed up, she took the CD out and hid it under her pillow. Once David and Jane were out of earshot, D.W. cackled and tented her fingers together.
"Now to find another CD player and play my music," D.W. warned to herself.
She went back downstairs and placed the disc in the CD player in the den. The music was just as loud as it was before. Arthur was trying to watch TV, however, he missed a lot of the show because of the music.
"D.W.," Arthur yelled upset.
D.W. wasn't fazed by Arthur's yelling, instead, she was dancing and singing. After a moment, David and Jane rushed into the living room and Jane turned off the CD player and confiscated the disc.
"DORA WINIFRED READ! WE WARNED YOU NO CRAZY BUS FOR A WEEK, AND YOU DISOBEYED US!! ALL THIS TIME, I THOUGHT THE DISC WAS IN YOUR OWN CD PLAYER, BUT YOU SNEAKED IT OUT AND HID IT WHERE YOU COULD PLAY IT DOWNSTAIRS!!! AND FOR THAT, NO CRAZY BUS FOR TWO WEEKS," Jane scolded.
At that, D.W. started shrieking and weeping while jumping up and down. Jane wasn't fazed by this and went upstairs to place the CD in her room. D.W. had turned to her stomach and started pounding and kicking at the floor. Arthur watched, but didn't laugh, instead, he just rolled his eyes. Then, he turned back around and continued to watch the rest of his show. David picked up D.W. and carried her to her room and put her in jail.
"She must be having a hard time adjusting," Jesse said.
"Well, I felt the same fashion until we left Beach City," Rae replied, "it was hard to leave Amethyst."
"Perhaps I should go speak to her," Randolph said.
"Probably a nice idea," Jesse agreed as he slurped his noodles.
Joy, Disgrace and Joanie were now rushing to one of the personality lands.
"We're gonna walk out there," Disgrace asked, "on that?"
"It's the fastest fashion back," Joy replied.
"Yes, then c'mon," Joanie said.
"But it's right past the Memory Dump," Disgrace lamented, "if we fall, we'll be forgotten forever."
"C'mon, do this for Riley, it's not so bad once you get used to it," Joanie said before closing her eyes to get over her fear of heights as she thought positive thoughts to help her across the narrow bridge.
"She's right, Disgrace," Joy grinned.
Disgrace and Joy tried to follow after Joanie.
"Just keep your eyes closed," Joanie warned herself.
Joy had a little balance damage since she was carrying the Core Memories, and where for her, this wasn't going to be easy.
Riley was laying on her side of her bed as she hugged Oddball, trying to keep it together.
Randolph knocked on the door before opening it to see his daughter. "Hey, jocko," he greeted.
Riley only glanced at him. Oddball looked up.
"How you doing," Randolph asked.
"Alright, I guess..." Riley sighed, "school was fun until Jesse Greenwood dropped me away, but...I'm not sure if I can do this...what about Meg and everyone else back home?"
"I'm sure they miss you," Randolph said.
Oddball nuzzled up against Riley to help cheer her up.
"C'mon, where's my happy girl," Randolph cooed. "Monkey..." he growled and chattered like a monkey.
"Whoops..." Patch gulped as he looked back to the personality islands.
"Oh, he's trying to start up Goofball," Frustration alerted the others.
"C'mon..." Randolph tried before continuing on as Riley wasn't in the mood.
"Riley, faster, warn your dad that you're kind of tired and just want to sleep," Patch said through the microphone.
"Dad, I'm just really tired, alright," Riley replied softly.
"Oh...alright," Randolph said softly.
Joanie yelped as she was losing her balance as Goofball Island appeared to be shutting down. Then she looked ahead to see the bridge breaking and ran back. "Go back! GO BACK!!"
Soon Joy and Disgrace both went back to the island. Joanie ran after them, trying to keep her balance before the bridge would break. Joanie, Disgrace and Joy all ran before they could fall or be crushed. Sure enough, Goofball Island was no more and it fell to the bottomless pit.
"Oh, c'mon," Joanie complained.
"What..." Joy frowned as the island was gone forever.
"Alright, don't worry, there is another one on Friendship Island," Joanie said.
"We have a major problem," Disgust said to the others.
"Oh, Joy, where are you," Fear lamented.
"We can fix this, right, Joy," Disgrace asked, concerned about the other islands.
Joy did not respond right away.
"Joy," Joanie asked the happy emotion.
"I...uh...I don't know..." Joy stammered, "but we have to try...alright, come on."
Joanie looked up as the power went down. "Not now, Riley's gone to sleep."
"Oh, sure," Joy moaned before getting an idea, "Creativity, take us to the Dream Studio with you."
"Can I do that," Joanie replied.
"Yes," Joy nodded.
"Um...all right then, right this fashion," Joanie said as she led them back into the Long Term Memory way.
"Alright, then c'mon, Disgrace, let's follow Creativity," Joy grinned.
"But we could get lost in there," Disgrace replied.
"Stay positive," Joy warned her.
"Alright, I'm positive we'll get lost in there," Disgrace said, "that's Long Term Memory, an endless warren of corridors and shelves. I read about it in the manuals."
"Trust me, I know the road to the Dream Studio," Joanie said.
"Disgrace, if you've read the manuals, but you know the road back to Headquarters," Joy replied, "now, c'mon!"
"I'm too mournful to walk," Disgrace pouted.
Joanie groaned as she picked up Disgrace and carried her. Joy followed after Joanie. Joanie hummed a tune to herself as she passed the corridors.
"We'll be there sure enough," Joy said.
It seemed to go ahead forever.
"Man, a lot of these shelves look the same..." Joanie pondered as soon as she felt lost without Jesse.
"Disgrace, are we almost there," Joy asked.
"I honestly lost track......" Disgrace sulked.
"Oh, c'mon," Joanie moaned.
"You don't know where to go," Joy asked Joanie.
"These all look the same now......" Joanie pouted, "I thought I did...."
"Forget them," a voice yelled out.
Joanie put her hand to her ear. "That must be the Forgetters."
"Then perhaps they know how to get back to the Headquarters," Joy said.
"I'm sorry, Joy..." Joanie frowned.
"It's all right, Creativity, we all make mistakes....." Joy said before hiding a frown to Disgrace.
"Phone numbers," one forgetter asked the other.
"We don't need all these, they're in her phone," the other forgetter replied.
"But what if she doesn't have her phone with her," Joanie spoke up.
The forgetters turned to see that they had company.
"You can't throw these off," Joy said as the forgetters came to memories that appeared to be black and white, "these are perfectly nice memories!"
"And why are they in black and white," Joanie asked.
"If Riley doesn't care about a memory, it fades," the female forgetter explained, "happens to the best of them."
"Except this bad boy," the male forgetter chuckled as he took out one of the spheres, "this one will never fade."
"No," Joanie yelled before she took it and ran to throw it into the pit of forgotten memories.
"Hey, give that back," the forgetters scolded.
Joanie ran with the memory until she was held down and they reached for the memory. "Gaaah!"
Soon Joy caught it and kept it away from the forgetters. "The song from the gum commercial," she noticed.
"You know, sometimes we just send that up to Headquarters for no reason," the male forgetter laughed.
"It just plays in Riley's head over and over again like a million times," the female forgetter added.
"Well, no more," Joanie said as she gave the annoying memory to Disgrace where she could make the memory mournful.
Disgrace looked down.
"Disgrace, don't touch--" Joy yelped until Disgrace touched the memory, "that..."
"This fashion they can't make Riley see this memory," Joanie said.
Meanwhile...
Riley was using her laptop where she could video chat with her best friend back home, and where luckily, she wasn't singing any annoying songs to herself.
"How do you like it there, did you feel any earthquakes, is the bridge cool," Meg smirked on the other side.
"Yes, it's nice," Riley replied, "what just happened at the play-offs?"
"We won the first game," Meg grinned. "Coach says we might actually go to the finals this year. Oh! And we've had this new girl on the team, she's so cool," she took out a picture on her phone to show a new girl that seemed to had replaced Riley.
"Oh, this is bad," Patch said.
"Oh, she did not just say that," Disgust shook her head.
"A new girl," Fear panicked, "Meg has a new friend already?!"
Frustration grumbled as he read his newspaper.
"I'm sure that's not true," Patch grinned hesitantly.
"Stay happy, we do not wanna lose any more islands here, guys," Disgust warned.
"But how," Patch asked.
"We can pass the puck to each other without looking," Meg continued, "it's like mind reading!"
"You like to read minds, Meg? I've had something for you to read right here," Frustration snarled before losing control.
"No, Frustration, don't," Patch yelped.
"Let's stay calm for one second," Fear tried.
Frustration yanked out his nose and flung him back as he took over.
"I have to go," Riley narrowed her eyes at Meg.
"Oh, this can't end well," Patch moaned.
"What," Meg asked.
"I must go," Riley frowned before hitting the laptop shut.
Oddball awakened and looked up to Riley before silently whining.
"What? She's moved on," Riley said.
Back in Riley's head.....
Friendship Island had shut down and crumbled.
"Oh, not Friendship..." Joy frowned as she looked into a memory that had Riley and Meg together since they were younger.
"This is getting worse and worse," Joanie moaned.
"Oh, Riley loved that one and now it's gone," Disgrace pouted, "farewell, Friendship, Hello, Loneliness."
Joy grumbled in slight annoyance of Disgrace's negativity.
"Even I'm starting to get annoyed by you, Disgrace," Joanie moaned.
Joy looked down one path. "We'll just have to go the long road."
"Yes, the long, long, long, long road..." Disgrace droned, "I'm ready."
Joy moaned as they kept moving and Joanie dragged Disgrace. "There has to be a better fashion."
"Let's hope so," Joanie also moaned in agreement.
Then there was humming heard and there appeared to be an elephant figure in the distance.
"It couldn't be," Joanie said.
"Right," Joy pondered.
Joanie came to get a closer look to see it was in fact the imaginary friend that she had created for Riley. "Bing-Bong," she asked.
Bing-Bong gasped as he was spotted and began to run off.
"Hey, wait, come back," Joanie warned him.
Bing-Bong began to run away, incidentally dropping some memories on the road.
"Bing-Bong, stop," Joanie called out.
Bing-Bong kept on running and running. Joanie and Joy seemed to had lost him, but then turned to see the elephant creature was right next to them, catching his breath.
"Bing-Bong! It's been so long," Joanie said.
"Creativity," Bing-Bong asked.
"Uh, yes..." Joanie replied, yet trying to get used to that name despite it being eleven years.
"Um, uh, I was looking for.....diversion," Bing-Bong said before catching a green sphere and tossing it and then ran into a tray of memories, spilling them out onto the floor, "ow, I hurt all over."
"Creativity, who's over there," Joy's voice asked.
"It's Riley's imaginary friend," Joanie called back.
"Wait, you mean Bing-Bong," Joy grinned.
"You guys really do know me," Bing-Bong grinned back.
"Well, of course, Riley loved playing with you," Joy beamed, "you two were best friends next to her and Oddball!"
"And besides, I'm the one that created you," Joanie warned him.
"He can take us back to Headquarters," Joy decided.
"Headquarters," Bing-Bong asked, "you guys are from Headquarters?"
"Well, yes, I'm Joy and this is Disgrace, you already know Creativity," Joy introduced.
"Hey," Joanie greeted.
"That's Joy?! The Joy," Bing-Bong replied, "what the heck are you doing out here?"
"That's a nice question," Joy replied before gritting her teeth, "you wanna respond that, Disgrace?"
"Oh, I will; it's because Disgrace just had to lose control of the controls to make Riley mournful in class and where that caused a tearful Core Memory to be formed," Joanie warned Bing-Bong.
Disgrace pouted as that hurt her very deep inside.
"Oh, without Joy, Riley will never be happy," Bing-Bong frowned. "We can't have that, we must get her back, I'll warn you what, follow me," he led along a fashion.
"Then lead the road," Joanie said.
"It's so nice to see you again," Joy grinned, "I must warn you, I am such a huge fan of your work! Do you remember until you, Riley and Oddball were in a band? I went to all of your concerts!"
"They were interesting," Joanie said.
"Yes, I blow a mean nose," Bing-Bong memorized.
"Watching you play tag was such a treat," Joy continued.
"Yes, tag is a grand game to play as a girl," Joanie said. "Unless you play with the Powerpuff Girls..." she muttered under her breath.
"Two-time world champ," Bing-Bong grinned proudly.
"Oh, and remember your rockets," Joy smirked.
"Of course," Bing-Bong smirked back, "it runs on song power!"
"Oh, dear, not this song again....." Joanie shuddered as she regretted that song right from the beginning, "I never want to hear it again."
"Who's your friend who likes to play,~" Joy grinned.
"Bing-Bong, Bing-Bong,~" Bing-Bong joined in.
"Augh, Triple Dent Gum isn't this bad," Joanie clamped her hands over her ears.
They continued to sing the song until Bing-Bong hurt himself.
"What exactly are you supposed to be," Disgrace looked up and down at Bing-Bong.
"I kind of forgot what you are as well," Joanie added to Bing-Bong.
"It's unclear to me as well," Bing-Bong replied, "I'm mostly cotton candy, but shape-wise, I'm part cat, part elephant, part dolphin."
"Dolphin," Joy asked.
Then Bing-Bong chirped like a dolphin to prove his point.
"Ohh, yes," Joanie said.
"You must remember, since Riley was three, animals were all the rage," Bing-Bong reminded her, "the cow goes moo, the horse goes neigh, then that's all people spoke about back."
"Yes, yes, that's it," Joanie replied, "well, do you know how to get us back to HQ?"
"Have you tried the Train of Thought," Bing-Bong asked.
This caused for Joanie to face-palm herself.
"The train, of course, that is so much faster," Joy agreed, "but how do we catch it?"
"There's a station in Imagination Land," Joanie remembered.
"That's grand," Joy grinned.
"I know a shortcut," Bing-Bong grinned back, "c'mon, this fashion!"
Joy was about to follow him.
"Are these too heavy," Joanie asked about the Core Memories at hand.
"I'm afraid these will slow me down," Joy frowned.
Then Bing-Bong came back, having an idea for Joy. "Here, use this, oh, wait, hold on a second," he emptied out the bag he had as it was filled with several Core Memories along with a boot, an anchor, a trumpet, and even a sink as well as a cat, "here."
"Thanks," Joy grinned before she put the Core Memories in the bag.
Then they rushed out to the Imagination Station to catch the Train of Thought. Bing-Bong held the door open for Joy, Disgrace and Joanie where they could go first.
"This is the shortcut," Joanie asked out of concern.
"What's wrong with this," Joy asked.
"No, we shouldn't go in there......" Joanie stepped back.
"She's right, I read about this in the manuals," Disgrace added.
"Because if we do, but we can say goodbye to our lives," Joanie added.
"But Bing-Bong says this is the fastest fashion to Headquarters," Joy replied.
"No, but Joy, this is abstract thought," Disgrace warned her.
"And trust me, you do not want to be in there if it's on," Joanie said.
"What're you speaking about? I go in here all the time," Bing-Bong replied, "it's a shortcut, you see? D-A-N-G-E-R, Shortcut, I'll prove it to ya!"
"NO," Joanie caught him by the tail.
"Woah," Bing-Bong yelped.
"Get back in here," Joanie moaned as she held onto him.
"What's wrong," Bing-Bong asked.
"You can't go in there, I--WOAH," Joanie yelped as Bing-Bong's tail flew up and flung her into the room.
"Look even Creativity wants to go through the short cut," Bing-Bong grinned.
Joy and Disgrace glanced at the imaginary friend as he walked ahead of them, trying to tempt them into following him.
"L-Let's go around, this fashion," Disgrace pointed another path.
Bing-Bong continued to tempt them. "Almost there!"
"If you wanna walk the long road, go for it, but Riley needs to be happy," Joy warned Disgrace before going after Bing-Bong, "but I'm not missing that train. Bing-Bong knows what he's doing here. He's part dolphin, they're pretty smart."
Disgrace knew that this wouldn't end well in the room. "Well, I guess..." she pouted as she came in after Joy.
At school...
Riley wore black and she felt isolated from the others as she came with her lunch tray and looked all around for a table to sit at.
"Well, this is awkward," Patch said.
Riley ducked her head and sat on a bench in the shade.
"Well, this isn't the best day of school," Patch moaned. Then he turned to the other emotions as they let him take control.
Frustration appeared to be away, but Fear and Disgust appeared to be making out.
"Well, that makes sense," Patch commented.
"Alright, what abstract concept are we trying to work on today," one worker asked the other.
"Um...loneliness," the other replied, checking his clipboard.
"Huh...looks like there's something in there," the one worker hummed before closing the door, "I'm gonna check it out for a moment and burn out the gunk."
"Did the door just close," Joanie asked while they were all walking.
The lights came on and a bunch of shapes around them moved up.
"Biiing-Booong," Joanie yelped.
"Say, would you look at that," Bing-Bong commented.
"They've turned it on," Joanie warned them.
"What's going on," Joy asked.
"Huh...never seen this before," Bing-Bong said before his head changed shape.
This caused for Joanie, Joy and Disgrace to freak out. Sure enough, they changed shape as well.
"Sure, now we've abstracted into Picasso," Joanie complained.
"What's going on," Joy asked.
"We're abstracting," Disgrace warned her, "there are four stages, this is the first: Non-Objective Fragmentation!"
"All right, do not panic," Bing-Bong calmed them down. "What's reluctant is that we all stay together," his hand burst off, which made him shriek.
Joy yelped as she and Joanie fell apart.
"I warned you we shouldn't have come this fashion," Joanie yelled.
"We're in the second stage," Disgrace panicked, "we're deconstructing!"
"We have to hurry up before it's too late," Joanie warned them.
The others tried to pull themselves together as they had fallen apart, and where they tried to get to the exit. Suddenly, everything became very flat.
"Oh, dear, we're two-dimensional," Disgrace panicked, "that's stage three!"
"We're getting nowhere," Joy complained.
"We have to slow down the descent," Joanie told them, "pull the rope!"
"Depth," Bing-Bong panicked, "I'm lacking depth!"
"C'mon," Joy groaned.
Sure enough, they became simple shapes.
"Oh, dear," Joanie panicked.
"We're non-figurative," Disgrace cried out in despair, "this is the last stage!"
"We're not gonna make it," Bing-Bong yelped.
"How," Disgrace asked.
"Fall on your face," Joanie replied.
Then they all did that and they became straight lines and they made it out the door, but they couldn't stop the train as it was leaving.
"No, stop," Joanie yelled.
"Oh, dear," Joy cried once the train left, but looked to Riley's imaginary friend, "I thought you said this was a shortcut!"
"I did, but wow, we should not have gone in there," Bing-Bong replied before morphing back into his true shape as did the others, "they really should put up a sign."
Joanie moaned and face-palmed. "Why did I make you for Riley?"
"Creativity, please warn me that there's another stop, the Train of Thought makes where we can catch up with it," Joy begged.
"There's another station through there," Joanie pointed to the spot behind them.
"She's warning the truth," Disgrace said.
"Welcome to Imagination Land," Bing-Bong grinned as he walked ahead of them.
"This place looks a little impressive," Joanie said.
"Imagination Land," Joy gasped happily.
"Sure, I come here all the time; I'm practically the mayor," Bing-Bong smiled. "Hey, you guys hungry? There's French Fry Forest," he took out one fry and ate it.
"No way," Joy laughed.
"Waiter, that is," Joanie said.
"Ooh, check it out, Trophy Town," Bing-Bong beamed. "Medals! Ribbons! Everyone's a winner," he kicked a soccer ball into the goal, only to get surrounded by the workers who gave him several prizes, "I won first place!"
"Me as well," Joy beamed.
"I've never won anything before," Joanie commented.
"Oh, Participation Award," Disgrace pouted to the green ribbon on her chest.
"Well, almost everyone wins," Joanie said.
"Wait, is that..." Joy walked forward to a fluffy white area. "Disgrace, Creativity, look, it's Cloud Town! This is my favorite," she pulled out a cloud and floated on it.
"I don't think we are supposed to do that," Joanie said.
"Ooh, it's so soft," Joy grinned as she floated.
"Let me try," Bing-Bong grinned as he took out a piece of his own, only to get scolded.
"You see," Joanie asked.
The cloud guy scolded Bing-Bong until he blew him off with his trunk. Joanie's jaw dropped and then she frowned up to Bing-Bong while shaking violently.
"Oh, dear, lava," Joy laughed as they jupped around furniture as the floor was hot lava from a volcano.
"Well, I guess this is fun," Joanie said.
"Imagination Land is the best," Bing-Bong chuckled.
"Oh, is it all going to be so interactive," Disgrace pouted as she landed on a couch cushion.
"Yes, it will," Joanie nodded.
Disgrace frowned at that, she couldn't help it, it was just the fashion she was.
"Don't worry, it's almost over," Joanie said.
"If you say so," Disgrace sulked.
"I'm pretty sure," Joanie said.
"Hey, look, The House of Cards," Bing-Bong beamed. "Oh, wait, hang on just a moment," he moved a few cards and pulled out a wagon.
"Your rocket," Joy gasped.
"Yes, I stashed it in there for safekeeping; and now I'm all set to take Riley and Oddball to the moon," Bing-Bong replied in emotion and incidentally made the cards fall.
Joanie moaned and rolled her eyes and decided it was now time to leave Imagination Land. "Please let this be the end of Imagination Land," she begged.
"Oh, I love Imagination Land," Joy grinned.
"Isn't it grand? And there's always something new like--" Bing-Bong was about to say until a teen boy appeared to be being created, "who the heck is that?"
"Imaginary boyfriend," a worker warned him.
"I would die for Riley," the teen boy spoke bravely.
"That guy is a little too dramatic for Riley," Joanie said.
"Yuck," Joy agreed in disgust.
"Oh, I've never seen him before," Bing-Bong commented.
"I live in Canada," the teen boy replied.
"This must be new," Cherry said.
"Anyhow, this fashion! Through Preschool World," Bing-Bong pointed another road, "we're almost to the train!"
"Riley, here we come," Joy cheered.
"Yes, just as long she doesn't try to play hockey," Joanie said.
"Why not," Disgrace asked.
"Because then if she does so, but she'll try to start up Hockey Island," Joanie said.
"Oh..." Disgrace replied, "I didn't think about that."
In the real world....
Unfortunately, Riley was going to the try-outs her mother warned her about.
"This is really bad," Patch said.
"This should be fun," Rae grinned, "new team, new friends...these children look pretty nice, considering they're from San Francisco."
"Without Hockey Island, Riley won't play well," Patch said to Frustration, Disgust and Fear.
"Anderson, you're up," the coach called.
"Good luck, darling," Rae cheered for her daughter.
"Luck isn't gonna help us now," Disgust moaned, "if she tries to use Hockey Island, it's going to go down!"
"We need to stop her from playing," Patch said.
"No worries, I recalled every hockey memory I can think of," Fear smirked as he walked over with a handful of yellow spheres, "one of these has had to work in place of the Core Memory."
"None of these will work," Patch said.
"She's about to play," Frustration pointed after the whistle blew.
"Hurry up," Disgust urged Fear.
"I'm warning you, it's never gonna work," Patch warned them.
"Loyalty, what else have we done without Joy," Disgust replied, "besides, I believe in Fear and his best ideas."
"Well, this idea of his better work," Patch said.
Fear placed the memories in as Riley put on her helmet, ready to try out.
Rae watched until she heard slight whining in Riley's backpack and then opened it to see a familiar face. "Oddball, what're you doing here?"
"I just wanted to help make Riley happy," Oddball warned her.
"Aw! That's very kind of you," Rae grinned.
Oddball grinned back. Then the two of them watched Riley's try-out. Riley took a deep breath and skated out onto the ice.
"We did it, gang," Fear cheered once he saw Hockey Island was powering up, "it's working!"
"Wow, I might have been wrong," Patch smiled.
Then the island powered down, which made Fear cry out in grand agony. Riley had damage keeping up with the puck.
"I spoke too soon," Patch said before he helped Fear with making one of the memories stay in where the Core Memory of hockey was.
Disgust and Frustration went to duck down in case this went horribly wrong. Thankfully with Patch's incredible strength, the memory was staying in place. Riley kept skating until she tried to shoot the puck into the goal and she then fell flat on the ice.
"Ooh," Rae and Oddball winced.
"That's it," Frustration snapped.
Soon Patch stopped Frustration from taking the controls.
"Step aside," Frustration frowned.
"No, no, no, breathe, find your happy place....." Fear coached until he was caught by the throat from the red emotion.
"I won't let you take the controls," Patch said.
"STEP OFF," Frustration yelled at him, which made fire in his eyes and the top of his head, but he grabbed the levers and pulled them up with a roaring yell.
Riley stood up with a groan and threw down her hockey stick as she came back out of the rink.
"And this is the reason why," Patch said.
"What's her problem," a girl wondered as Riley's Frustration took over.
Riley growled and threw away her helmet and gloves and began to untie her skates.
"Riley, what's wrong," Rae asked.
"Let's go," Riley snapped.
Oddball began to become worried for Riley.
"You're not gonna complete try-outs," Rae frowned to her daughter.
"What's the point," Riley scoffed.
Oddball couldn't believe what Riley just said.
"Hey, it will be all right....." Rae soothed, "let's just go back----"
"Stop saying everything will be all right," Riley sneered before storming away.
Oddball whined as she hid behind under the bleachers. Riley continued to rush out of the rink. This made Hockey Island shut down and crumble.
"I'm sorry, Rae..." Oddball pouted.
"It's not your fault, Oddy..." Rae soothed the dog.
Soon Joy, Joanie and Disgrace heard Hockey Island going down.
"Hockey," Joy cried out in grief before taking out a memory, "oh, dear, oh, dear, she loves hockey....she can't give up hockey......Bing-Bong, we have to get to that station."
"Sure, this fashion, just past Graham Cracker Castle," Bing-Bong said before looking to see something appeared to be destroyed, "hey, that's weird, Graham Cracker Castle used to be right here."
"Yeah, they tore that down," Joanie said.
A wrecking ball appeared to be tearing down a castle.
"Princess Dream World," Bing-Bong gasped.
"Well, Riley's growing up....." Joanie said. "I guess she doesn't need this stuff anymore...Stuffed Animal Hall of Fame, Pony Sparkle Castle......" she then noticed Bing-Bong's wagon. "Uh-oh..." she said.
"My rocket," Bing-Bong cried out in despair as he ran after the workers who were taking it off.
"Hey, you two, put that down," Joanie warned the workers.
"It yet has some song power left," Bing-Bong said before singing his theme song, "who's your friend who likes to play?~"
The wagon shook a little and rainbow musical notes came out of the back end, but the workers flung it onto a pile and a bulldozer came to push it off the edge to be forgotten from Riley's thoughts forever.
"Stop that bulldozer this instant," Joanie ordered.
"You ain't my boss," the worker in the bulldozer scoffed as he kept driving.
"Don't you realize that Creativity actually made all of this," Joy called out.
"I just do what I do so," the worker replied.
"STOP," Joanie caught a hold of the bulldozer and ended up riding along with it.
"Hey, let go," the worker frowned.
"YOU LET GO," Joanie groaned and strained, "Riley needs these! These are my creations!"
"Riley doesn't blame anymore, she's eleven now," the worker snorted before dumping everything away, never to be seen again.
"Oh, just grand," Joanie moaned.
"Riley can't be done without me..." Bing-Bong frowned mournfully before sitting down.
"Bing-Bong, I'm very sorry that they just dumped your, uh...rocket," Joanie said.
Joy decided to help lighten the mood. "Hey, it's gonna be alright," she grinned the best that she could, "we can fix this! We just need to get back to Headquarters, which fashion to the train station?"
"I had an entire trip planned for us..." Bing-Bong sulked.
"I'm sure I can make you a new one," Joanie said.
"Hey, who's ticklish, right," Joy tried to help, "here comes the Tickle Monster!"
"Elmo," Joanie looked the other road.
"No, but it would be hopeful if he was here," Joy said.
"Uh, Bing-Bong, why can't Riley go see pirate movies," Joanie asked.
"Why," Bing-Bong asked.
"Because they're Rated 'Arrgh'," Joanie said before winking like an eye patch and then cracked up laughing at her own joke and even slapped her knee. "Arrgh! Get it? Because it's...about...pirates..." she grinned weakly.
That joke didn't seem to make him laugh. Then Joanie moaned in misfortune.
"They took something you loved," Disgrace came next to the imaginary friend, "it's gone...forever."
"Disgrace, don't make him feel worse," Joy scolded.
"I'm sorry," Disgrace pouted.
"No, wait, Joy, I think Disgrace might be helping," Rae said.
Joy glanced at her in slight disbelief.
"It's all I had left for Riley..." Bing-Bong frowned.
"I bet you, Riley and Oddball had grand adventures..." Disgrace gave a small grin.
Joanie didn't seem to stop them.
"Once, we flew back in time," Bing-Bong reminisced, "we had breakfast twice that day."
"Despair," Joy yelped.
"Csendes," Joanie put her hand on the yellow emotion's mouth.
"It sounds amazing," Disgrace looked up to Bing-Bong, "I bet Riley and Oddball liked it."
"They really did so," Bing-Bong sniffled.
Disgrace yet stayed behind him.
"We were all best friends....." Bing-Bong grinned mournfully.
"Yes, it's mournful..." Disgrace replied.
Then the two shared a hug as Bing-Bong wept, which made candies fly out from his tear ducts. Joanie knew that this was what Bing-Bong needed. Then she took out a root beer lollipop and decided to eat it while Bing-Bong wept. Joy moaned since Bing-Bong was weeping.
"I'm alright now...." Bing-Bong settled down and then stood up, "c'mon, the train station is this fashion."
"Lead the road, big guy," Joanie said.
Soon Joy came after them as Bing-Bong led the road. "How did you do that," she asked Disgrace.
"I don't know...he was mournful, where I listened to what------" Disgrace started.
"Hey, there's the train," Bing-Bong pointed with a grin to the Train of Thought.
"Wahoo! Eventually," Joanie cheered.
They climbed over the book steps and loaded onto the train as it was getting ready to go.
"Oh, we made it," Joy smiled. "We're eventually gonna get home," she twirled, which knocked over a box and busted it open and she knelt down to the pieces, "oh, dear, these Facts and Opinions look so similar..."
"Oh, don't worry, happens all the time," Bing-Bong replied as he put the pieces back into the box.
"This should get us back to HQ right away," Joanie said.
Riley moaned as she threw her hockey equipment down and buried her face in her pillow. Oddball whined as she was so unfair about Riley.
"On a scale of one to ten, I give this day an F," Disgust moaned.
"Well, for now, we just need to let Riley sleep it away," Patch said.
"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm quitting," Fear said as he walked away with a bag of luggage.
"I thought emotions couldn't quit," Patch replied as Fear tried to go out the tube, only to be battered by green, red and purple spheres of disgust, frustration and fear, "and I was right."
"Ugh! I thought we were supposed to be keeping Riley happy," Disgust moaned.
"Wait a moment, wait a moment," Frustration said as he had an idea and then came to chubby holes.
"Frustration, no, we are not giving Riley the idea to run off," Patch said to Frustration as he had a feeling at what Frustration had in mind.
"Think about it, Loyalty," Frustration warned him, "all the best Core Memories were made in Minnesota. Ergo, we go back to Minnesota and make more! Ta-da!"
"Wait, wait, wait," Fear spoke up, "you can't be serious!"
"We can't run off; if we do so, but we can say a farewell to Family Island," Patch said.
"I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING HERE," Frustration snapped.
Patch frowned and growled. "Put that idea back where it came from, OR THEN HELP ME----"
"OK, that's it, I'm putting it back," Frustration said before putting the idea light bulb back.
"Sure..." Patch grinned in relief.
Meanwhile, with Jesse...
Jesse came to check on his niece. "Super Saiyan is here~......" he called out as he opened the door with a plate of Riley's favorite pizzas, "with a pizza delivery~..."
"Thanks, Jesse Greenwood," Riley sighed.
"Hey now, turn that frown upside down......" Jesse sat behind her.
Riley sighed. "Jesse Greenwood, did something ever go so wrong for you that you wanted to run away from home?"
"Well, I ran off with Scamp on the Fourth of July, of course that was the same day we met Angel and your Aunt Gertie," Jesse said, "but running off isn't the response to everything."
"Huh..." Riley hummed in thought.
"If something's bothering you, you should sleep on it....." Jesse advised.
"But, I..." Riley stammered.
"Perhaps a lullaby will cheer you up..." Jesse helped as Riley seemed too tired to eat, but he left the pizza on her nightstand with a cup of hot chocolate. "Hush now, little girl, you're loved by all you know, you'll never lose their friendship, no matter where you go, there ain't no call to worry, then don't you cry or fret~," he came to the door and decided to turn out the light and shut it behind him, "a bad day won't change you, no matter what you get~"
Then Riley ate the pizza and drank the hot chocolate before going to sleep.
"How was she," Rae asked.
"She should be alright after some sleep," Jesse said, "I warned her a lullaby with some pizza and hot chocolate."
"That's a relief," Rae grinned.
"I'm yet concerned about Riley," Oddball whined.
"Well, this mood is somewhat normal," Jesse said.
Oddball looked very mournful.
"Oh, Oddy, I warned you, it's not your fault...." Rae soothed as she knelt next to the dog.
"That's right," Jesse said.
"I guess so..." Oddball sighed.
"Here..." Rae gave Oddball a leftover pizza crust.
"Ooh," Oddball beamed and then gnawed at the crust.
Back in Riley's head.....
The Train of Thought was moving until suddenly, it came to a stop.
"Hey," Joanie frowned, "why are we stopping?!"
"Riley's gone to sleep," the conductor warned her, "we're all on break."
"You mean we're stuck here until morning," Disgrace pouted.
"Yes, the Train of Thought doesn't run while she's asleep," Bing-Bong nodded.
"Oh, sure," Cherry moaned before getting an idea.
"Oh, we can't wait that long," Joy frowned as she took a look at Headquarters.
"C'mon, guys, it's time for me to work," Joanie grinned as she ran to the Dream Department once it was her time.
Soon they all ran after her.
There were many workers buzzing around as Joanie walked ahead of them into Dream Productions.
"Woah, this place is huge," Joy beamed.
"I guess it's pretty impressive," Joanie shrugged.
"It looks so much smaller than I expected," Disgrace commented.
"These are classic dreams," Joanie said as there were posters of typical dreams such as falling down, flying in the air and being chased by someone, all starring Riley as this was her subconscious.
Joy gasped once she saw a white unicorn mare with a rainbow mane who was looking over a script. "Rainbow Unicorn, she's right there!"
"Keep walking," Joanie said.
Joy smirked as she was starstruck to see the unicorn as they passed side-by-side.
"My friend says you're famous," Disgrace droned to the unicorn, "she wants your autograph."
"What have I just done," Cherry asked Disgrace.
"Disgrace, no, no, don't bother Miss Unicorn, alright," Joy came to the blue emotion, "I'm sorry, she's from out of town, that was so embarrassing, right?"
Joanie pushed them out of the road and looked to the unicorn. "Sorry about that, RU."
"It's alright," Rainbow Unicorn shrugged.
"I loved you in Fairy Dream Adventure Part VII," Joy came back.
"Thank you, Joy," Joanie sharply pointed the other road.
"Alright, farewell, love you..." Joy zipped away.
Soon Joanie moaned before going with the others. "Guys?" she then looked around as the others seemed to get separated from her.
Then a door closed with a red flashing light, which made Joanie look to it.
"Oh, dear..." Joanie moaned as she rushed to the door.
"Set up the classroom set, where's Creativity," a director called out.
"I'm right here," Joanie called back.
"There you are," the director warned her and handed her a paper, "here are the memories."
Joanie took the paper and then looked all around. "Alright, Riley had a stressful day at school, and Meg didn't help, and quit hockey...." she came to a typewriter and typed as faster as she could to make a script for the dream.
"Woah, that sounds like it's the worst day ever," the director said.
"You're telling me," Joanie agreed as she went to work. After she finished typing the scripts, she gave them to the actors that would act as the classmates and the teacher.
Back in Headquarters, Fear was moaning and complaining that he had Dream Duty while Disgust and Frustration were going for the night, and where the actors weren't really that grand.
"Alright, how are we gonna awaken her," Joy wondered about Riley where they could get back on the Train of Thought.
"Well, sometimes she awakens until she has an eerie dream," Disgrace suggested, "we could frighten her."
"No, no frightening----I know, we could awaken her with happiness," Joy grinned.
"That's never happened before," Disgrace warned her.
"And I know just the fact to help awaken her," Joy grinned as she found a dog costume.
"I don't think that'll work......" Disgrace frowned.
"Bing-Bong, don't let anything happen to these," Joy handed the bag of memories to the imaginary friend.
"I'll guard them," Bing-Bong saluted.
Joanie stood behind the camera with the dream director as the actress for Riley's teacher was getting her makeup together. One worker added in the reality disorientation filter to make it like the memory.
"Love it," the dream director nodded, "remember, play to the camera, everyone! Riley is the camera! Make them get out of there......we're on in five....four...three..."
Then a worker played the harp to begin the dream sequence.
'These guys better be good actors,' Joanie thought to herself.
"Hello, class," the teacher actress grinned hesitantly, "before we begin today's top quiz which is worth 99% of your final grade, I want to introduce our new student. Riley, would you like to stand up and introduce yourself?"
Joanie face-palmed about how terrible this actress was. Soon the camera rose up as a fashion to look like Riley had stood up. A man behind the camera took out a megaphone and said what Riley said on her first day of school as everyone stared at her.
"Ew, look, her teeth are falling out," a student pointed as Joanie took out tooth props to make them fall in front of the camera.
Fear had already known that was going to happen in the dream. He was a bit bored as he predicted a lot of the dream cliches, even with Riley being in school with no pants on.
"Ready," Joy whispered to Disgrace.
Joanie glanced back as Joy and Disgrace had to work together.
"Joy, I'm not sure this will work," Disgrace whispered.
"Just follow my lead, here we go," Joy whispered back.
The two broke into the classroom set and Joy barked like a dog.
"Who is that," the dream director asked out of confusion.
"That would be Joy and Sadness," Joanie moaned.
Riley silently moaned in her sleep, but wasn't quite awake yet.
"Hey, let's feast, let's dance," Joy beamed as a festival wallpaper was brought down along with some balloons.
"This is not happening," Joanie moaned.
Then Bing-Bong appeared and danced with Joy and Disgrace.
"Oh, why..." Joanie moaned.
Fear seemed emotional about the party.
Patch walked along until he stopped as he thought he heard Disgrace and Joy's voices in the dream. "Oh, please don't let them be in the dream," he begged.
"Bing-Bong..." Fear looked out of curious confusion.
'Please let something else happen,' Joanie thought to herself.
"Disgrace, you are ruining this dream," Joy scolded and blamed the blue emotion, "you're frightening her!"
"But look, it's working," Disgrace pointed to the meter of Riley about to awaken, but not just yet.
"They're not part of this dream," the dream director scolded, "get them!"
"No, keep going," Joanie said as she saw what Joy and Disgrace were doing.
Soon the guards came and the dream director panned off to Rainbow Unicorn eating cupcakes.
"Boo! Pick a plot line...." Fear complained.
"So close," Joanie moaned.
"You can't do this," Bing-Bong said as he was taken off with Disgrace and Joy, "I know people in Headquarters!"
"Wait, stop," Joanie warned them.
The subconscious guards frowned to Joanie.
"He really does know people from HQ," Joanie said.
"Why should we listen to you," one subconscious guard asked.
"I'll take care of them, you guys go get donuts or something," Joanie warned them as she was more or less in charge of Dream Productions.
"Alright," the subconscious guards shrugged. Then they left and walked off.
"Alright, guys, let's get you out of here, this is where they keep the troublemakers," Joanie warned the two emotions and one imaginary friend.
"And how do we get in there," Joy asked.
"C'mon, we have to get out of here before we go into Riley's deepest fears..." Joanie said before shuddering, "like Jangles the Clown."
That gave both emotions the perfect idea.
"Now, just follow me, guys..." Joanie said until she didn't feel them behind her and turned around to see them going the other road. "Guys," she saw where they were going. "GUYS," she rushed after them.
They walked into the room where Riley's fears were kept such as broccoli and a giant murderous vacuum cleaner.
Joanie rushed over to take them out. "Guys, we have to leave and that means war," she whispered louder to them where she wouldn't awaken the clown. Unfortunately for her, they had awakened the clown.
Then Joy helped Bing-Bong out of his cage.
"Were out of here," Bing-Bong noticed the Train of Thought, "let's get to that train."
"Wait, the train's not running," Joy pointed out, "we yet have to awaken Riley."
"But how," Disgrace asked.
Soon they knew how as they looked to the silent sleeping clown.
Joanie shook hesitantly. "No," she warned them.
"Hey, Disgrace," Joy started once she had an idea, "did you hear about the birthday festival they're having?"
"Yes, Joy...isn't it a b-b-birthday festival," Disgrace added.
"Birthday Festival," Jangles the Clown grinned.
"And there's going to be cake and presents," Joy grinned.
"And games and balloons," Disgrace added.
Joanie backed up hesitantly. That seemed to be enough for Jangles to get up and follow them. Joanie backed up even more as she breathed shallowly due to her fear of clowns.
"You better run," Bing-Bong warned her.
"My thoughts exactly," Joanie began to run from Jangles as she felt utterly terrified, and soon where they ran out the door to the studio.
The subconscious guards argued about their hats until Joanie, Joy, Disgrace and Bing-Bong ran toward them to get away from Jangles the Clown, and where the huge clown was following them, who growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "STEELE!!"
This yell was so loud that it echoed across the train tracks. Soon Riley awakened with a gasp of alarm and sat up in her bed, which awakened the Train of Thought.
"What is going on," Disgust asked as she and Frustration came back to Headquarters.
"He did it again," Frustration scoffed.
"It's alright, Fear, it's alright," Patch soothed the purple emotion.
"Clown...eerie clown..." Fear shuddered.
"You idiot, it was a dream," Frustration frowned at Fear, "this is ridiculous! Time to take action."
Soon Riley awakened and decided to run off far from home while Oddball was sleeping.
"No way, besides, Riley doesn't even have any money with her and she'll be all alone," Patch said.
"Mum's purse and Oddball is our only friend right now," Frustration decided, "Jesse Greenwood just might tell Mum and Dad."
"Listen, I know facts haven't been grand, but if Riley just lets out all her...Disgrace," Patch said as he got an idea, but there was a problem, Disgrace wasn't there.
Soon Oddball awakened as Riley was getting ready to leave San Francisco, but went to the bathroom first, but she went to get some water until a certain angel whippet appeared. "Annabelle...?"
"Hello, my darling," Annabelle greeted the young Dalmatian.
"What are you doing here," Oddball asked.
"Your human needs you, my child," Annabelle warned Oddball, "you are best natured like most dogs and you are like a Guardian Angel to Riley."
"Is she about to do something crazy," Oddball asked.
"She's going to try to run off back to Minnesota," Annabelle informed.
"Oh, dear, I have to stop her," Oddball warned her as she ran out of the bathroom on two feet.
"I believe in you, Oddball," Annabelle called out to her, "you are Patch's niece all right!"
Soon Oddball rushed after Riley even if she had to run on two feet.
Riley gasped in surprise and silenced the dog where she wouldn't awaken her parents. "Oddball, be silent, we're going home!"
"This is our home," Oddball said to her.
"No, it's not; ever since we moved here, naughty facts have happened," Riley said.
"But what about your first day of school since Atticus took you," Oddball reminded with a grin.
"I'm sorry, Oddball, but I can't stay here and have my life lived for me..." Riley said, brokenhearted like Princess Jasmine to Rajah before exploring Agrabah on her own.
Oddball frowned before seeing three emotions missing in Riley's eyes. "Riley, where's your happiness, deception and creativity," she pouted.
"Back in Minnesota," Riley warned her.
"Riley, where did your three emotions disappear," Oddball asked.
"My emotions," Riley asked.
"Yes, we all have emotions," Oddball warned her, "Uncle Patch warned me. I think you only wanna go home because you don't know how to act without your joy or disgrace."
Soon Riley began to think as her three emotions felt like they had disappeared.
"Everybody and everything has feelings..." Oddball warned Riley, "bugs, monsters, cars, animals, even toys and feelings themselves."
"Th-They disappeared after I was weeping in class," Riley said.
"This sounds serious....." Oddball pouted.
"C'mon, Oddball, we need to leave," Rae said as she picked up the dog in her arms.
"No! Think about your parents," Oddball yelped.
Riley yet continued with what she was thinking, hearing the frustrated clown shout his name.
"How about this, right? Isn't this nice," Bing-Bong grinned as he took Joy, Disgrace and Joanie onto the Train of the Thought to make it back to Headquarters, "you can see everything from up here. Look, there's Inductive Reasoning. There's Deja Vu. There's Language Processing. There's Deja Vu. There's Critical Thinking. There's Deja Vu. And look at this, guys, memories!"
"Nice," Joanie said.
"Hey, that was a nice idea, frightening Riley awake," Joy had to admit to Disgrace, "you're not so bad."
"Really," Disgrace asked.
"Nice work, I can't wait to get the old Riley back," Joy grinned as she held a memory, "as soon as we get there, I'm gonna fix this entire mess."
"You know, Joy, sometimes it's alright to let your despair out," Joanie said, "if you don't, but nothing is ever resolved."
"Creativity, I think I know what's best for Riley," Joy replied modestly.
"Woah, is this...Riley," Bing-Bong took a little at one memory, "she's so big now, she won't fit in my rocket. How are we gonna get to the moon?"
"We'll think of something," Joanie assured him.
Then Joy beamed as she watched a memory. "Oh, it's that time in the Twistee Treat, remember? The hockey team showed up and Mum and Dad were there cheering. Look at her, having fun and laughing. I love this one."
"I love that one as well," Disgrace had to admit.
"That's right," Joanie said, "I remember this memory as well."
"Yes, it was the day the Prairie Dogs lost the big playoff game," Disgrace remembered, which made the memory mournful, "Riley missed the winning shot, she felt awful, she wanted to quit. I'm sorry, I went tearful again, didn't I?"
"I'll warn you what," Joy replied, trying not to wring Disgrace's neck out of frustration, "we can keep working on that until we get back, alright?"
"Alright," Disgrace replied.
Riley sneaked downstairs with Oddball to take Rae's credit card to find a ride back home to Minnesota.
'This is a bad decision,' Oddball thought to herself.
Then Riley sneaked the credit card.
"Riley, what about your honesty," Oddball whined.
"I'm sorry, but we have to go back to Minnesota," Riley whispered.
The others rode on Riley's Train of Thought until Honesty Island came crumbling down, which destroyed the train.
"That was our road home," Joy sulked, "we lost another island. What is going on?"
"Haven't you heard," a mind worker asked, "Riley's running off."
"What," Joanie panicked.
"Wait, wait," Fear said as Riley began to pack up to leave home with Oddball, "hang on, guys. Are we really doing this? I mean, this is serious."
"Look, we have no core memories," Frustration reminded him, "you want Riley to be happy? Let's get back to Minnesota and make more, and Oddball's coming with us. She's the only friend we have left in this dump!"
"But what about Mum and Dad," Patch asked, feeling weird calling Rae and Randolph 'Mum and Dad'.
"It's their fault we're here, they like it so much here, they can just be here alone," Frustration huffed.
Patch sighed as he knew that he couldn't speak any sense into Frustration.
"Joy, if we hurry up, we can yet stop her," Joanie warned the yellow emotion.
"Family Island..." Joy whispered as she saw another island about to be destroyed, "let's go!"
"We have to hurry up," Joanie said.
Then they began to run before the ground started shaking, which overwhelmed them all.
"Joy, Joy! It's too dangerous," Disgrace warned Joy, "we won't make it in time."
"But that's our only road back," Joy replied before she saw a memory orb going up a tube, "a recall tube!"
"Excellent," Joanie grinned.
"We've had a recall," Disgrace added before she incidentally touched the memories in Joy's bag.
"Hey, wait! Disgrace," Joy took the bag from her, "Disgrace! Stop! You're hurting Riley."
"No, no, no," Disgrace pouted, "I did it again."
"If you get in here, these Core Memories will get mournful," Joy warned her before going up the recall tube to leave Disgrace behind, "I'm sorry, Riley needs to be happy. C'mon, Creativity!"
"Joy, we can't just leave Disgrace," Joanie warned her.
"It's for Riley," Joy replied.
"You're not listening to me," Joanie moaned, "I know Disgrace made Riley upset, but sometimes we need to be mournful!"
Joy didn't seem to listen as soon as she closed up the tube.
"Disgrace, I'm sorry," Joanie frowned to the blue emotion.
Disgrace really lived up to her name as Joy and Joanie had abandoned her. Soon the tube broke as Family Island shattered and it led Joanie and Joy to the Abyss where memories went to die.
"Oh, dear," Joanie yelped.
Then Joy began to try to climb up the cliff over and over again, only to fail.
"Joy. Joy, what're you doing here? Will you stop this, please," Bing-Bong said to her, "don't you get it, Joy? We're stuck down here! We're forgotten."
"We can't stop," Joanie said.
Joy looked like she was going to break down and weep.
Joanie saw this and soon decided to bring out the one memory that had looked like it was a happy memory, but she remembered how it started. "Joy, just look at this memory..." she warned the yellow memory, "it's mournful, but look..."
Joy wiped her eyes and came over to take a look.
"Riley lost the Hockey Game for the team and felt awful about it, but since she was mournful, Mum and Dad and Oddball came to console her," Joanie warned Joy.
Soon Joy saw that Joanie was right.
"Girls, we're stuck down here," Bing-Bong sulked, "we might as well be on another planet."
"Yes, another planet..." Joanie sulked until her eyes widened. "Another planet, that's it," she looked around and began to sing the imaginary friend's theme song to find his rocket. After singing for a little while, they heard the rocket making its sound.
Then Joy and Joanie both sang, which released the rocket.
"Grand thinking, Creativity," Joy beamed to Joanie.
Bing-Bong grinned as this was very nice for all of them. Soon they found the rocket. They took a ride while singing the song, but every time, they kept falling in the Memory Dump Abyss. However, the final time they did it, they made it, but Bing-Bong fell off at the last moment.
"Bing-Bong," Joanie called down.
"You made it," Bing-Bong warned Joy and Joanie. "Go! Go save Riley! Take her to the moon for me," he grinned mournfully as he began to disappear from existence.
"W-We will," Joanie frowned as she was actually sad to see him go. She even looked like she was going to weep.
Then Joy and Joanie continued on.
Soon Jesse came home with Rae and Randolph, only to see that Riley wasn't home and neither was Oddball.
"Where are Riley and Oddball," Jesse asked.
"They aren't with you," Randolph asked out of worry.
"I better call Riley," Rae said as she took out her phone to call her daughter.
"I hope they're alright," Jesse said.
Riley hid Oddball into her backpack as she wore a black jacket and was going to a train heading for Minnesota after she bought a ticket, and where her phone started to ring and vibrate.
"It's Rae...respond it," Oddball warned Riley.
Riley saw that her trainer was calling, but just ignored the calls.
"Riley," Oddball whined.
Riley didn't seem to be able to hear Oddball's voice anymore either by Puppy Power or animal language or even barks.
"Riley, can you--" Oddball was about to ask, but her voice turned into stray barks that became silent as Riley was in her own little world right now and it was not a very happy one.
Joy and Joanie were looking around for Despair until they were splashed by tears that were like rain drops as Disgrace was avoiding them while hovering in a cloud while weeping her eyes out as she felt useless and hopeless to be in Riley's mind.
"Faster, we have to use tons and tons of Riley's dream boys to get all three of us to HQ, but first, we need something to blow her off her cloud," Joanie said.
"You think that'll work," Joy asked.
"Hey, they would die for Riley," Joanie shrugged with a smirk.
"You're right," Joy said as she brought out Bing-Bong's bag.
The mind worker cops were about to stop Joy and Joanie, but since they were going to Cloud Town, they found it to be hopeless.
"I only make everything worse," Disgrace bawled as she was very miserable right now.
"No, you don't," Joanie called out, "we need you to come back with us!"
Frustration was trying to get the idea out of Riley's head as he regretted trying to make her run far off from home. "It's stuck!"
"Oh, sure," Disgust scoffed.
"What," Fear asked, "what do you mean it's stuck?"
Patch began to try to get the idea unstuck.
"Now what," Disgust asked.
Then the console began to black over.
"No, no, no," Fear yelped, "what's this?!"
Riley came onto the bus with Oddball as her Headquarters was starting to get destroyed.
Soon Joanie got something to blow Despair off her cloud. Disgrace yelped as she fell and landed in Joanie's arms.
"For Riley," the imaginary boyfriends proclaimed as they were being used as a tower.
"To the HQ," Joanie called out.
Fear and Frustration were fighting each other while Disgust was defending Fear since she had feelings for him.
"I have a feeling Joy, Disgrace and Creativity are about to come back," Patch said as he saw something out the back glass.
Joanie yelped until she plopped onto the glass and everyone turned to her.
"I think Creativity's starting to make Fear look Brave," Frustration deadpanned about Joanie's clumsiness.
"Just get us inside," Joanie muffled from outside the glass.
Patch pushed a button to let Joanie, Joy and Disgrace back into Headquarters where they truly and rightfully belonged.
"Joy, you must fix this, get up there," Disgust warned the lead emotion.
"Disgrace, it's up to you," Joy warned the blue emotion.
"Disgrace," the others asked in dismay.
"Just trust us," Joanie said.
"Disgrace is the only one who can stop Riley," Patch added.
"I can't, guys," Disgrace frowned.
"Yes, you can, Riley needs you," Joy warned her.
"Alright..." Disgrace sighed as she touched Frustration's idea to make Riley mournful, and where the whole console was back on and soon Riley began to regret running away.
Then Riley's eyes widened. "Wait! Stop! Stop the bus, I wanna get off!"
"Thank heavens," Oddball sighed.
Then the bus stopped, which allowed for Riley and Oddball to get off and go back to Rae, Randolph and Jesse. Soon Disgrace was able to take the idea out of the console.
"Phew," Patch looked so relieved.
"The teacher says she hasn't seen Riley all day," Rae warned her caretaker and brother.
"What," Randolph gasped.
"Then where could she be," Jesse asked.
Sure enough, Riley came through the door with Oddball.
"Riley," Rae gasped.
"Oh, there you are," Randolph added, "thank heavens."
"Are you both alright," Jesse asked.
Riley sniffled as she hugged her parents and brother before breaking down in tears, which made them console her. And where the reason why she was weeping was because of Disgrace and the memories that were now turned mournful.
"I know you don't want me to be, but I miss home," Riley sniffled, "I miss Minnesota. You need me to be happy, but I want my old friends and my hockey team. I want to go home. Please don't be mad."
"Oh, darling," Rae cooed.
'I know exactly what Rae and Randolph are going to say,' Jesse thought to himself with a grin.
"We're not mad," Randolph soothed his daughter, "you know what? I miss Minnesota as well. I missed the woods that we took hikes in."
"And the backyard where you used to play," Rae added.
Oddball was happy that everything got sorted out. Jesse was also happy at the display. Soon Annabelle sent a golden winged charm around Oddball's collar to make her a Guardian Angel on Earth to go on missions like she had Charlie and Itchy did sometimes against Killer and Carface, but now there were two Guardian Angels on Earth. Joy and Disgrace actually worked together and were able to create a new Family Island.
"Friendship Island has expanded," Frustration noted, "glad they eventually opened the friendly argument section."
"Same here," Joanie said.
"I like Tragic Vampire Romance Island," Disgrace commented.
"Fashion Island," Disgust beamed, "everyone, shut up."
"Boy Band Island," Fear asked, "hope that's just a phase."
"Perhaps, perhaps not," Patch shrugged.
"Say what you want, I think it's beautiful," Joy replied.
It was almost time for Joanie and Patch to go as they were replaced by doubles of their Emotion Personas where no one would know they were missing and Riley was going to turn twelve soon and her Mohican powers would come during her sleep at midnight of her birthday and she would be warned that she was a Mohican which was a tradition of all magical families, and where after the game, there would be a surprise for Rae and Randolph.
"Thanks for coming to my niece's game, Joanie," Jesse grinned.
"Anything for the free jersey," Joanie smirked as she wore a jersey which doubled as a hoodie for her.
"And I think there's going to be a surprise for Rae and Randolph," Patch smirked.
"What kind of surprise, Uncle Patch," Oddball asked curiously.
"I think I found it," Joanie said as she saw Riley run into a boy about her age by incident.
"And we can already warn how Randolph and Rae are going to react," Jesse said.
The boy couldn't help but stare at Riley as he thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. "Hey, uh...you're Riley, right," he uttered out.
"Oh, you're in Ms. Lewis's homeroom class," Riley grinned as she recognized him while blushing, "yes, that's me...Riley Anderson."
"I'm Jordan," the boy grinned shyly to her, "perhaps after the game, we could hang out?"
"I'd like that," Riley nodded.
'Aw, young love,' Jesse thought to himself.
Riley smirked as she felt very motivated about hockey again. Rae and Randolph cheered as they wore face paint to cheer their daughter on. Of course, it was slightly embarrassing for Riley.
Sure enough, Riley's team won.
"They won," Rae and Randolph beamed.
"And Riley will be twelve soon..." Jesse warned his brother-in-law and sister, "um...do you think she'll float at midnight tonight?"
"Hilda and Zelda said she should be since Sabrina did..." Rae nodded back, "we plan on warning her the morning after she awakens."
Soon Riley walked over to her proud parents. "Mum, Dad, since Jesse Greenwood has friends over, can I bring a friend as well?"
"Sure, darling," Rae grinned.
"A new friend," Randolph also grinned.
"Yes, Jordan," Riley grinned back with a nod.
"That's an interesting name," Rae grinned.
"Jordan," Randolph repeated in slight suspicion, "is that a girl's name?"
"Does it matter," Riley shrugged innocently.
'And here comes the typical dad response,' Jesse thought to himself with a smirk.
"I'd like to meet this Jordan," Randolph warned Riley.
"You will," Riley chuckled to her caretaker.
"Huh..." Christopher hummed as he had a strong suspicion but tried to keep it to himself.
Later on, they were on the road home as Jessica sighed as she looked at the Day Care photos she took of Riley since she was a volunteer and wondered if she should open her own and it made her think about perhaps having another baby.
"You alright, Rae," Randolph asked his trainer.
"How is Riley almost twelve already," Rae sighed.
"Time just seems to get away from us," Randolph warned her.
"I know what you mean....." Rae said before suddenly sniffling as she began to feel emotional.
Oddball placed her paw on Rae's stomach. "Rae, are you pregnant," she asked curiously.
"There's one fashion to find out," Randolph said.
"Excuse me..." Rae said before going to the bathroom real fast.
Randolph nodded and soon, the doorbell rang.
"Someone's here," Oddball barked frantically which made Patch chuckle, "it's either a stranger, a friend, a family member, I dunno, someone open the door and find out, HURRY UP!!"
"Alright, that's it," Jesse chuckled.
Randolph opened the door to see that it was Jordan.
"Hi...is Riley here," Jordan asked.
And where soon after seeing Jordan, Randolph's emotions realized what this hang-out with a friend really meant.
"RED ALERT," Randolph's Frustration yelled out.
Then Randolph's Fear pushed a button, which alarmed the word boy to the paternal emotions.
'I knew it,' Jesse thought to himself.
"There's a boy in my house," Randolph whispered to Rae as Jordan sat at the kitchen table.
"I knew she was going skating, but I thought it was with her friends," Rae replied.
Oddball began to whistle innocently while trying to sneak back upstairs.
"Oddball," Randolph and Rae asked.
"This is a human fact, I'll come back later," Oddball grinned sheepishly.
Soon Rae decided to go and speak with Riley.
Inside Rae's head....
"I don't like this," Rae's Frustration complained.
"This can't be a date," Rae's Fear gasped, "she's almost twelve!"
"We'll probe, but we'll lure her with cool words the children say where it's not obvious," Rae's Disgrace suggested, and where unfortunately, it didn't really help.
"Well, what's the dealio with Jordan," Rae leaned against the door-frame to her daughter, "OMG, he is awesome sauce, fo-sheezy!"
Riley began to look like she was about to be sick while Oddball went face-paw.
"Did she just say 'fo-sheezy'," Joy winced.
"I don't understand what's going on," Disgrace commented.
"Ugh, this is just embarrassing," Disgust groaned before walking off, "I can't...I can't!"
Even Strength, Loyalty and Creativity were flinching.
Meanwhile, back with Randolph and Jordan...
Jesse sat there as well with Patch on the floor, pretending to be asleep. Jordan sniffled and wiped his nose as he just sat and looked like a zombie. Randolph stared him down since he was a boy interested in Riley.
'And then it begins,' Jesse thought to himself.
"Alright, I know your game, Jordan," Randolph's Frustration sneered, "don't think I don't know, but I know, you little punk!"
"He's not nice enough for Riley," Randolph's Fear snapped, "no one is!"
"Go back to jail," Randolph's Disgrace jeered.
"What are you looking for, Jordan," Randolph's Frustration frowned, "something to steal?!"
"Like our daughter," Randolph's Disgrace huffed.
"Should we say something," Randolph's Fear asked.
"No, no, no, he'll be expecting that," Randolph's Frustration replied, "give him the silent treatment. He's about to crack, I can feel it."
Soon Randolph went with the silent treatment.
"Oh, please don't warn me he's doing what I think he's doing here," Jesse's Joy moaned.
"Looks like it... Not even Mo's dad was that intense!" Jesse's Disgust scoffed.
"Should we intervene," Jesse's Fear asked.
"I'm sure Jordan has some fashion of getting to Randolph, but if he dares hurt Riley, I'll be there," Jesse's Frustration firmly promised.
Randolph stared Jordan down as his emotions just seemed to be feasting like a bunch of drunken college students.
Soon Randolph's emotions noticed that the silent treatment wasn't working.
"Sir, no response," Randolph's Fear reported.
"Two can play at your mind games, Jordan," Randolph's Frustration scoffed as he hopped over the mind console, "INTIMIDATE!!"
Randolph's Fear pushed a button, which made Christopher firmly frown at Jordan and puff out his chest.
"Alright, I don't think we should concern about Jordan ever doing anything wrong since it seems he doesn't really seem smart enough to do that," Jesse's Disgrace said.
"He seems harmless enough," Jesse's Fear agreed.
"I've had my eye on him though," Jesse's Frustration warned.
Jordan's Fear didn't seem like he had any fear. "Dude, what's he looking at," he asked as he drank a soda.
"Probably your dumb hat," Jordan's Joy chuckled before slapping the hat away while he tuned a guitar.
Then Jordan's Fear tackled Jordan's Joy, which made Jordan give a small chuckle. Jordan's Disgust laughed at them while skateboarding side-by-side, only to smash into a messy pile of Core Memories.
"Alright, I changed my mind, he's alright since he's an idiot," Jesse's Frustration said.
"Sir, intimidation is failing," Randolph's Fear alerted.
"Increase the pressure," Randolph's Frustration snarled, "engage!"
"Well, Jordan, what do you like to do for fun," Randolph asked, increasing the pressure.
"I dunno..." Jordan shrugged, "stuff?"
"Sir, that sounds like back speak," Randolph's Fear said to Randolph's Frustration.
"THAT'S IT," Randolph's Outrage blew out with frustration, "get him out of here! GIVE HIM THE BOOT!!"
"Yes, sir, launching boot," Randolph's Fear nodded and typed into the console, which made an alarm blare inside of Randolph's head.
Soon all of the other emotions got themselves ready as they were about to give Jordan the boot. They buckled up as Randolph's Frustration counted down on his mark.
"I play in a band....." Jordan said, "that's fun..."
"Wait," Randolph's Frustration suddenly remembered before Randolph's Joy showed a memory, "we were in a band....."
"I was in a band," Randolph grinned, "I played bass."
Jesse chuckled silently.
"And what is so funny," Randolph asked his brother-in-law.
"Wasn't that since you had that crazy hair," Jesse teased.
"Cool," Jordan chuckled to Randolph, "I rock the lead guitar."
'They have something in common,' Jesse thought to himself.
Jordan and Randolph began to bond, much to their surprise with each other.
"Mum, ew, it's not a date," Riley flinched at Rae's speaking to her, "we're going skating with a group of friends."
"Oh, fun, that'll be off the hook," Rae grinned, "laughing out loud...."
"STOP SPEAKING LIKE THAT," Frustration snapped.
"Wait, where's Dad," Loyalty panicked.
"Where's Jordan," Fear added.
"Did you leave Jordan with Dad," Riley gaped at her mother. "Mum! This is so embarrassing," she walked away.
"Riley..." Rae sighed as she stroked her stomach absentmindedly. "Your father would never do anything--" but before she would complete that sentence, loud music was heard from downstairs.
Riley came downstairs and looked in shock to see Jordan and Randolph bonding over the loud rock and roll music. Jesse banged his head with Patch as they liked the beat as well.
"AC/DC," Oddball cheered.
Soon they saw Riley had come downstairs and where the look they saw was an understandable one.
Then Riley and Jordan went out together.
"Farewell, Mom, farewell, Dad," Riley called out.
"Peace out, my homies," Rae grinned.
Oddball yet felt like that was not right for Rae to try to make herself sound like a teenager.
"You know? Jordan's a nice boy," Randolph grinned.
"You're not so bad yourself," Rae smirked, putting her hand on her caretaker's shoulder.
"I think we should leave these two alone," Jesse whispered to Patch.
Patch nodded with Jesse and they left the house with Joanie. Soon Rae and Randolph shared a kiss together before Rae ran upstairs to the bathroom as she felt sudden disgusting discomfort. As Rae left the bathroom, there appeared to be a positive pregnancy test left behind.
