One morning in Headquarters, Joy was waking up the other emotions with music she was playing on one of her instruments.

"Hello! Did I wake you?" Joy said to the emotions.

"Oh, not again!" said Anger.

"Sorry, but today's a big day for us!" said Joy.

The other emotions finally got out of bed and went downstairs.

"Why do we have to get up so early?" asked Sadness.

"Yeah," said Disgust. "Way too early."

"It's only 8:30," said Fear.

"You didn't even let me sleep, you idiot!" Anger said to Fear, startling him.

"What are we even doing?" asked Disgust.

"Last night, I came up with a plan that we can all do today," said Joy.

"A plan? What is it?" asked Fear.

"I have decided that we all should go out there in Riley's mind and explore," said Joy.

"Are you crazy?" said Anger. "That's insane!"

"Joy, don't you remember what happened the last time we were out there?" asked Sadness.

"Yes," said Joy. "So?"

"The last time we were out there was a disaster," said Sadness. "We got lost and it took us almost two days to get back here."

"Oh, don't worry," said Joy. "This won't be bad at all."

"Are you sure?" asked Fear.

"Yeah," said Joy. "I'll prove it to you."

With that, Joy pressed the tube button on the floor and sucked herself in it.

Then, Disgust and Sadness began to suck themselves in the tube as well.

"Okay, I'm not so sure about this," said Fear.

"Oh, will you just go in there already?" Anger said as he kicked Fear into the tube.

With that, Anger sucked himself in the tube as well. Then the tube closed.

After a few miles, the tube dropped the emotions into the mind.

"All right, this is it," said Joy.

"Um, how long are we gonna be here?" asked Disgust.

"We won't be here long," said Joy.

"What if we get lost?" asked Fear.

"Don't worry," said Joy. "I've got a map."

"Well, where is it, then?" asked Anger.

Then, Joy turned towards Sadness, who was nervous. "Sadness, you are our map," she said.

"But, I..." Sadness said timidly. "How am I supposed to know how to lead us if I'm useless."

"Oh, come on," said Joy. "You're not useless."

"I'm not?" said Sadness.

"No," said Joy. "You helped us on our journey to get back to Headquarters, remember?"

"Oh, yeah," said Sadness.

"Now, come on, everyone," Joy said to the others. "Let's explore!"

So the emotions started making their way into the mind.

First, the emotions walked into Long-Term Memory.

"Everyone, welcome to Long-Term Memory," said Joy.

"This place is catchy," said Fear.

"And boring," said Disgust.

"I hate it here!" said Anger.

"Oh, it's nothing to be hateful about," said Joy. "Just have fun and enjoy the experience."

"Maybe we should go somewhere else," said Sadness. "This place dosen't allow emotions."

"What are you talking about?" asked Joy. "We've been here before and we didn't come all this way just to get out of here."

"But, Joy..." said Sadness.

"All right, let's keep moving," said Joy.

So the emotions walked out of Long-Term Memory. Then they stopped at Abstract Thought.

"What is this place?" asked Disgust.

"Abstract Thought," said Joy. "One of my least favorite places to go through."

"Don't make us go in there, Joy," said Sadness.

"I know," said Joy. "I won't."

"You mean this place is dangerous?" asked Fear.

"Yes," said Sadness.

"If this place is dangerous, why are we even here?" asked Anger.

No one responded.

"Let's go around," said Sadness.

So the emotions walked around Abstract Thought and stopped at the entrance of Imagination Land.

"This is one of my favorite places," said Joy. "Imagination Land!"

The emotions walked into Imagination Land and looked around.

First, the emotions walked to French Fry Forest and Joy took a few peices of french fries.

The others were confused at the sight.

"Does anyone want some?" Joy asked the other emotions.

"No," said the other emotions.

Then, the emotions walked to Cloudtown and Joy hopped onto a cloud, floating on it.

Sadness also hopped onto a cloud.

"This is my favorite!" said Joy. "It's so soft!"

"Yeah," said Sadness. "I guess it is kind of fun."

Anger, Disgust, and Fear didn't care. They were more concerned about getting out of the mind.

Then, the emotions walked through the lava by walking on top of the furniture floating on it.

"Ew! This lava is ripe!" said Disgust.

Fear shrieked at the sight of lava. "We're so gonna die!" he said.

"Don't be ridiculous!" said Anger.

"Oh, is it all gonna be so interactive?" Sadness said as she lied down on a floating cushion.

"Come on, Sadness," said Joy. "Keep up!"

So Sadness got back up and followed the rest of the emotions.

Finally, the emotions went to the House of Cards.

"Wait a minute," said Anger. "This was one of those things that angered me most."

"What thing?" asked Joy.

"Well, whenever that card house gets knocked down, it blows me up!" said Anger.

"You're not making any sense," said Disgust.

"Oh, yeah?" said Anger. "I"ll show you!"

"Guys, calm down," said Joy. "This place is not for anyone to be arguing."

"She's right, guys," said Sadness. "Besides, someone might see us."

"Sadness, what are you talking about?" asked Joy.

"It's just that..." said Sadness.

"Hey!" shouted a voice.

It was the security guards.

The emotions turned around and gasped - they knew Sadness was right all along.

"What are you doing around here?" one of the guards asked the emotions.

"What are we gonna do?" asked Sadness.

"We gotta get out of here!" said Joy.

So the emotions ran out of Imagination Land and the guards chased them.

"Which way do we go?" asked Fear.

"This way!" said Joy.

The emotions ran all the way down to Riley's Subconscious.

"Oh, no," said Fear. "Not Riley's Subconscious!"

"This might contain such gross things!" said Disgust.

"Sadness and I have been here before," said Joy. "So we're gonna have to go through this together."

"Joy, are you crazy?" said Anger.

"No, I'm not," said Joy. "Now, follow me."

So the emotions opened the door and walked into the Subconscious.

"This place gives me the creeps," said Fear.

"Ew! Look!" Disgust said as she pointed to the broccoli-like forests.

"We shouldn't hide here," said Sadness.

"Quiet, everyone," said Joy. "They'll hear us."

Suddenly, the emotions heard the door open. They turned around and saw the guards pointing their flashlights towards them.

"Oh, no," said Fear. "Now, we're in bigger trouble!"

"Run!" shouted Anger.

So the emotions ran through the Subconscious and the guards continued to chase them.

Then, not noticing the stairs to the basement, the emotions bumped into each other and tumbled down the stairs. Then they all crashed onto the floor.

"Oh, great," said Anger. "Now, we're stuck down here in the basement!"

"There's nothing we can do!" said Fear.

Sadness was crying. "We're gonna be stuck here forever!" she said.

"That's not true," said Joy. "We'll think of something."

"What are you gonna come up with?" asked Disgust.

Then, Joy saw a nearby rope. "I've got an idea!" she said. "Anger, do you think you can make a hole in the ceiling?"

"It would be my pleasure, Joy," said Anger.

So the emotions all stood on each others shoulders to help Anger reach the ceiling.

Once Anger reached the ceiling, he gave it a good hard punch, making a hole in it.

Then, Joy tossed the rope to the hole of the ceiling and then she helped herself and the other emotions pull themselves up and out from the hole.

At last, the emotions were out of the basement. Then they walked out of the Subconscious.

Joy knew that the idea she came up with was such a big mistake. "I'm sorry, everyone," she said sadly. "I'm afraid this whole experience has been ruined."

Sadness put her hand on Joy's shoulder. "It's not your fault, Joy," she said. "You just wanted us to have a good time, and we appreciate it. Besides, nobody's perfect."

Joy knew that Sadness was right. "You're right, Sadness," she said. "Let's just go home. Riley needs us."

So the emotions walked over to the tube and sucked themselves into it.

Then, the tube dropped the emotions back in Headquarters.

"That was fun," said Joy. "Well, sort of."

"Joy, you did great," said Sadness.

"Yeah," said Joy.

Then, the emotions became tired.

"Maybe we should deal with Riley later," said Joy, yawning a bit. "Right now, we ought to just rest for a little while."

Exhausted, the emotions all fell to the floor and rested for awhile.

The End
