A/N: Yo yo yo! My gosh! It's time to write for my favorite crossover of all time! This is literally my two favorite things crossed over and part of the reason I like IO so much. Y'know I've wanted to write for this crossover since I literally found FanFiction? Well, it's about time I do! I've always wanted to see Twilight's emotions and stuff so one day I was like, 'Hey, let's explore Twilight's head!' She isn't actually my favorite character from the show but I wanted to mess with her anyway. Moving on, let's start! This will be from the leader's P.O.V. I'm not telling you who they are. You have to read, goddamit.

LEADER

Have you ever looked at somepony and wondered, what is going on inside their head?

I for one know that far too well.

Twilight was such a smart young filly, if I say so myself. Study Island proved my point. That beautiful green and yellow core memory. Joy was so happy that she suggested we have a party. She was even happier when we got magic island. Well, we were all happy. It was how our Twilight got her cutie mark. It now remains possibly our most proud island, apart from Friendship Island. That's our newest, apart from when it.. Sort of joined Princess Island. When we became Princess of Friendship, Friendship Island expanded about twice its size and sort of joined up with Princess island. And the memories did so too. An even bigger mix of green, yellow and blue. Blue was for the fact that we were losing our past life.

The other islands are Book Island (which is like a ginormous library), Teacher Island (show off our intelligence) Rationality Island (my personal favorite), Organization Island (this one is Fear's favorite) and Stress Island (created by that purple idiot). Twilight's Islands of Personalities. Like I said, Rationality is my favorite island, but I suppose I can say I like all of them.

Overall, I'm proud of our Twilight. She's a princess, an important pony, which makes us just as imperative. Especially me. The leader. Ponies from all over Equestria look up to Twilight. She teaches them valuable lessons about friendship, which sounds super corny, which is why I made us avoid friendship at first, as well as the fact that it seemed rather pointless. My view will always be that way, but that doesn't mean it can't change. A little.

Since so many Ponies look up to Twilight, she gets lots of requests and duties, which makes us a very busy gang of emotions. I mean, Twilight has a such a good reputation now. According to our friend Rarity, we're the 'hottest new princess', apart from baby Flurry Heart. Anger gets very protective over that filly. If anypony dares touch Flurry Heart, Anger would be onto them before Fear could give you a 300 word list about safety. I mean, if any of us mention Flurry Heart, Anger will interrogate them, as if they said Flurry Heart was an idiot. I think she only does this though because she knows that Twilight enjoys being an aunt.

Anyway, our life is good, everything's going fine, well, that's what Joy says. She is far too positive. I tried to tell her that not everything works, but she didn't seem very interested in listening. Boo her. Because, though on the outside, things here in the mind.. Aren't quite as nice.

There are a lot of problems, actually. It has gotten both better and worse over the years. Well, when I say better, I mean for our Twilight. Worse is in her mind. If you were to give me a dime for everything wrong in here, I'd be able to afford half of Equestria. Perhaps it is better that I introduce you to my coworkers, the ones who have frustrated and almost made me cry over Twilight's climatic life.

First, there's Joy. She's similar to most Joys; Happy, friendly, positive, yellow and constantly tries to share her upbeat vibe with the rest of us. It can become quite a bother after a while, especially when she jumps around Headquarters, singing a stupid morning song. I'll admit that I do like her powerful glow. It makes her like look a shining star, which she bragged to us is 'just like Twilight's cutie mark'.

She can also bother me a bit if she makes Twilight sing a pointless song. I usually let her, because Equestria is a musical land, though I still can't help feeling rather dumb. Anger is the only other emotion who agrees with me on my opinion with the singing. Even Fear thinks the singing is fine. Ugh. Although Joy bothers me with her mesiness and persistence, we might not be a princess without her. And we do have our moments, her and me, here and there. Like I said, one of the core memories is from the two of us.

Next up is Fear. Fear is.. Stressfully organized and extremely finicky and panicky. There is not one hazard she doesn't have a list for. Seriously, she has a list for dangers in organizing a list. I'm not joking. So every morning, while Joy is singing, Fear is reading over her list for the day. She isn't very good at keeping her stress under control and often has panic attacks. However, she is the most organized out of all of us. Even me.

We would've failed everything without Fear. Well, maybe not everything, but we definitely wouldn't be standing here right now. She keeps Twilight organized, and makes her stress over things supposedly going to happen in the future, times for tests and events, and happenings in Equestria. Equestria, I must admit, is a dangerous place, so Fear does have to be sharp. Her over-protectiveness can bother us, but honestly, she works the hardest. She puts herself under immense pressure just so Twilight can enter The Canterlot Castle (me making us not look like an idiot) and she is pretty tough to deal with all our strong alicorn powers. Since stress can make our powers go a bit berserk. But she will do anything to protect Twilight. Anything. Good for you, Fear.

Then we've got Sadness. Well.. There isn't too much to say about Sadness. She's sort of just the quiet, timid little outsider who occasionally comes in to help us realize our sympathy. Especially if Twilight is speaking to Starlight Glimmer and helps her understand something. Or if Twilight is singing a sad song or something depressing is happening. Like just before we got our cutie mark. Sadness thought we were going to fail, until the rainboom hit us. Apart from that, she mostly just mopes around in our Headquarters library, reading book after book, on her favorite collection of pillows. Because of this, she knows more than any of us do about The Mind World.

But the one thing that really sets her apart from the rest of us, or Sadnesses in general, is the fact that she is so quiet. Fear's stressing, Joy's singing, Anger's yelling and my complaints are what she sees everyday. She just whimpers quietly or doesn't speak at all. I asked her one day if she was okay since she doesn't speak much. She told me that she was just sad. That answer didn't make much sense to me, but then again, with all the chaos in here, it kind of did.

And finally, before me, we have Anger. Oh Anger. Where do I start with you? Here's a surprise: Anger has a temper problem. She yells about anything 'unfair' and her head turns into a volcano. Now, as I said before, our powers are rather strong and certain emotions can make them worse. Fear is pretty bad, which is annoying, because power is so dangerous. Joy is okay. Sadness refuses to use the console unless she has to. I'm no threat either. Anger is totally different story.

Whenever Anger uses the console during some sort of magic battle, she goes REALLY MAD, and our power goes out of control. Anger explained to us that she can't control the magic. And I get that, but I'm not sure if the others do, well, apart from Sadness. Fear is a coward and Joy.. Well, I'll explain them later. Because of Anger's lack of magic control, she is Twilight's most dangerous emotion. Once she got so fed up with our friend Pinkie Pie that she literally made Twilight have a fiery head, as well as herself. That went down well in here.

Fear couldn't believe that Anger had actually put some of herself in the real world. It really wasn't meant to happen. I was shocked too, though I didn't say anything. I just told Anger to never do it again. Joy was a different story. We'll get to them later. Another instance with Anger's rage was when the library was destroyed. That day was when Twilight was holding all the magic of the 4 princesses. I had strictly forbidden Anger for even getting in presence of the console. She wasn't impressed by that, but she understood. Then, the library was destroyed. We couldn't keep Anger from that. It just wasn't fair.

You should've seen her face on that day. You should've seen all of us. Sadness was literally bawling, Fear passed out, I was frozen with shock and Joy couldn't smile. Anger was beyond mad. I had never seen her that angry. She wanted revenge on Lord Tirek. Her head exploded into flames as our magic blew up half of Equestria, with help of such villain. Now whenever we mention the Golden Oak Library, Anger gets all angry and Sadness starts crying.

Apart from that, Anger isn't so bad. I mean, she's probably the only one that I can stand for a long time (apart from Sadness when she's not crying), since she doesn't sing, dance, scream, cry or stress constantly. Because of that, we probably get on the best. She really only bothers me if she persists we should be doing something that we really shouldn't. Anger's 'dangerous' part doesn't get to me too much. Besides, I know she means well and cares for Twilight more than anything, so bless her. Though I wish she and Joy weren't so oblivious with all their.. Well..

And then there's me. I am the leader of Twilight's head. I'll admit I'm not perfect, though I struggle to be so. I've made mistakes in the past. And these days, I don't really use the console as much as I used to. It wasn't like I was hogging it or anything. I was just helping our girl. At least that's what I thought.

"Friends are a waste of time," I had said to my coworkers, when Twilight was young. "We need to study. We want to sucess in life. Forget friendship."

"Are you sure?" Fear had asked. I nodded.

"Absolutely. Twilight will be the best student, you see. Now, we've got magic to practice."

When Celestia sent us to Ponyville to make friends, I believed it was the stupidest thing I had ever heard. I complained over and over about how it was a huge waste of time. Anger was yelling about how Celestia sent us to a place of stupidity and not preparing for the mare in the moon. Fear was afraid about said villain. Joy was trying to keep us all motivated by telling us that Nightmare Moon was a hoax and we'd be out of there in a jiffy. Sadness just sniffed silently in her corner.

Then we had the whole defeating-Nightmare-Moon-adventure. We made everlasting friendships and a new core memory. I had to leave study-obsessed Twilight behind (well, not completely) and welcome friendship into our life. And though I'm happy to be Princess of Friendship and all, sometimes I miss the old days. When I was in control. I purposely bring up memories when Twilight was studying or reading a book. It's not like I completely want old Twilight back, which I don't. Sometimes I just need a little blast from the past. When Twilight truly needed and wanted me. And every now and again, Sadness watches the memories with me. I think that may be the only thing we have in common.

It reminds me back when life was just a pile of books and studying in front of our face. There was no one there but us. It makes me a little sad, though I never cry. That's not my thing. However, it also reminds us what a bad friend we were. When we returned to Canterlot to reunite with our old friends, I kept getting examples of how I made Twilight diss all her friends.

"Come on guys, we're different now." I had explained to them.

"'Friends disgust me'." Joy mimicked, reminding us all when we were younger and I had said those exact words. She made it worse by putting up a green memory of Twilight dismissing a friend's invitation. Joy can be really annoying sometimes.

Speaking of the past, HQ wasn't as bad back then. The best days in here were when Twilight was young. Before the fights. Before the explosions. Before anything bad. Like I said, I want Twilight to continue her princess life. I just wish things would change in this ridiculous HQ. Honestly, I'm ashamed of the drama in here. We have such good reputations. Why can't they be the same in here? Ugh..

Great, now I have to explain to you all this drama. Where do I start? Ugh.. From the beginning, of course. We'll get the minor problems first.

Firstly, this mind world is extremely dangerous. There are random explosions all the time (due to Twilight's alicorn magic), millions of mind monsters (thankfully most of them are locked in the subconscious. Fear herself literally dragged me down there with her to make sure they couldn't escape) and recently, there's been sightings in Long Term of some sort of spirit. Fear passed out when the Mind Workers told us the news.

"Oh come on guys, there are random explosions all the time. I'm sure it was just something like that." I reassured the others. I couldn't tell if they believed me or not. The Mind Workers seemed to trust me. I mean, most of them know me rather well, since back in the old days I sometimes travelled up to Book World and complained about our day to the Mind Workers there. They listened eagerly, mostly due to the fact that the amazing leader herself had come to talk to them. I'm kind of famous in The Mind World. The other emotions are kinda jealous.

Anyway, those are just general Mind World issues. We have problems in HQ as well. Remember how I was talking about Joy and Anger? Well, I'm just gonna say that they.. Aren't exactly good friends. Oh no. They're not even close to friends. In fact, they're enemies. And they have been for years.

It used to just be minor bickering. Occasional miniature fights that I would mostly dismiss. Fear acted as if they were fighting to the death, on the other hoof. However, they were still fights, so sometimes I butted in to get them to stop. They usually did, though later on they'd start again. Now it's so much worse.

They started fighting using harsher vocabulary and more yelling. Then they started using magic powers and trying to cause physical damage. Luckily the other two and I managed to stop them and cool them down before it could get out of hoof. Then they usually didn't speak or even look at each other for the entire day, luckily week. Then the fighting would start again and so the cycle would repeat.

I've tried everything to stop them fighting, since it's having such a negative impact on us. Fear has gotten so bad that she won't even go near Joy OR Anger. Sadness has gotten quieter and every time happy-go-lucky and fire-head start fighting, she starts crying. I was sick of it when it started. No wonder Twilight is getting more twitchy. Idiots, idiots!

But the other big question apart from when these nonards will stop fighting is why? Why are they fighting? To be honest, I'm not completely sure why. I just remember it was shortly after Anger arrived in HQ. Anger arrived later compared to the rest of us. She was actually the last emotion to make her place here. We were nearly finished emotion-filly-hood by the time she came.

Emotion-filly-hood is practically the growth for pony emotions. Since we're different to other species of emotions, we grow in a different way. We start out as fillies/colts (depending on the gender of the host) and then we stay that way for about 6 years of the host's life. Then we grow up and we never grow or age again (It's a bit strange. I tried to study it, but the books wouldn't tell me anything, so I reluctantly had to accept it as a fact, though I still find it stupid).

So for the first five and a half years, it was just the four of us ('Good old days', as Joy calls them). But I always sort of had a feeling that it was never complete with just the four of us. One of my theories of why Joy and Anger fight is because Joy preferred it just being the four of us, since that's who she had known for all her life.

However, it was really a shock for all of us when Anger came, since most emotions come during the 4 four years of a host's life, though it's not completely impossible for an emotion to come later; it's just quite rare according to the manuals. But then again, Twilight was quite knowledgeable and well-developed, so none of us have any idea why we had a latie (a common emotion term for a late emotion). It's one of the many mysteries here that I want to solve.

Again, I'm still just as desperate as the others to know why Joy and Anger fight. All I remember is Anger came one day, after a pony took our book, then the next day, she and Joy started bickering. I've asked them again and again why they fight, but their answers were ridiculous. Honestly. Those two just annoy me to death. Don't they have anything better to do? They just bad-mouth each other. Ugh.. I work with a bunch of idiots..

My other two emotions don't have that many problems. Fear's only problem is that she panics far too much, and Sadness is just pessimistic.

Those are just a few of the problems, of course. If Joy was here, she'd make me list all the 'good' things, which I'm really not going to do. Well, I kind of already did, at the start. There aren't many good things in here.

Well, it's time for Twilight to wake up. I believe Fear was on Dream duty. Dream Duty is good or bad, depending on what dream Dream Productions decide to give us. There are amazing dreams; great plotlines, intriguing, the regular dream weirdness portrayed in a correct way, and all the usual strong feelings. Then there are the terrible dreams. Those are just stupid.

I can already hear Joy singing as I enter the room. Another great morning song, Joy. Just great. That's exactly what I need. Fear's at the console, going over one of her many lists. She's coming my way now.

"Do you think this list's effective?" Fear shoves a list in my face, which shows me a gazillion 'danger's. I push it down with a grimace.

"It's fine." I reply, which calms her down. Who am I kidding? She's still nervous. I glance over HQ, spotting Sadness in her usual corner, absorbed in a book. How surprising.

Joy is still singing, great, and now Anger is glaring at her. I do not want a fight when we first wake up.

"Okay, what do we have first?" I call out to my coworkers, and Joy finally stops singing. Fear, of course, has made an exact list of what is supposed to happen.

"We have three meetings with the princesses, which includes a train ride to Canterlot, we'll need a ticket for that, a buffet with the Saddle Arabian ponies.." Her voice is drifting off as she fills things out on her list.

"More princess duties? We get too many of those!" Anger grumbles, her head hung low, as always.

"Well, we are one of the most important ponies in Equestria. What did you expect?" I question, rolling my eyes. Anger doesn't reply.

"But I'm sure they'll be fun!" Joy cries excitedly, hopping around like a bunny. Typical Joy.

"Let's just head down to breakfast. Starlight will be there. We need to remind her of her lessons." I point out, which sends Fear into a frenzy.

"Our lessons! OUR LESSONS!" She panics, getting yet another list.

"She better have done them. We don't want an irresponsible student." Anger scowls, shaking her head.

"I'm sure she'll be fine! I mean, she's great at magic studies." Joy points out, in a chippy tone. Anger looks like she's about to snarl at Joy again. But luckily before she does, we get interrupted by somepony.

"Excuse me," A voice says. A blue unicorn enters, wearing a white vest and goggles, with a straight, dark blue mane. A Mind Worker. She's holding a clipboard, reading over something. We all turn to her, Fear shaking. "I've got some news."

"If this an explosion, we can't control them-" I begin, but she interrupts me.

"No. But I did want to warn you to keep a sharp eye out." Fear shivers at this statement, as the Mind Worker continues on. "We've been getting sightings of some.. Dark magic.. Unfamiliar things around."

"DARK MAGIC?!" Fear looks like she's about to have a panic attack. Sadness is now glancing up from her pillow, looking the most interested she has in ages. I don't even think Joy can find something positive to say right now.

"What do you mean?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. The Mind Worker bows her head.

"Look.. we've just been spotting some things around. I'm just warning you. Be vigilant. We don't want it to come here." She shivers.

"They won't get past me!" Anger bellows, almost making me smile at her determination. The Mind Worker chuckles nervously to herself.

"Just.. Be on the lookout.. But I'm sure we'll be able to deal with.. Whatever this is.." She says, before exiting. I turn to my coworkers, who are all sharing frightful expressions. Well, I think Anger's trying not to.

"Look, just forget about this whole.. Dark magic stuff. The Mind Workers'll sort it out. We have more important things to worry about." I jerk my head in the direction of the console. The others, knowing that there is nothing else we can do, head towards the console. Breakfast.

"Hey! There's Starlight!" Joy cries, pointing a hoof to the crystal map. Our student is reading over a book. Joy leaps to the console and Twilight waves to Starlight, bidding good morning.

"Hey Twilight! I made you breakfast!" Starlight says happily, gesturing to a dish of pancakes.

"Ooh! Pancakes! Starlight is so nice!" Joy cheers, as we sit down next to our student. I glance over the pancakes, raising an eyebrow. I stop Joy from touching the console, and she gives me a strange look, as I observe the pancakes. Then I give a nod of approval to the yellow emotion.

"I hope you like them," Starlight says, as Twilight eats the pancakes, Joy with a big grin. "How many meetings do you have today?"

"THE MEETINGS!" Fear screams, twitching. I bring up a purple memory of Celestia telling us about the meetings we have today.

"A lot. I've got a huge buffet first." Twilight laughs, after swallowing a piece of pancake. Starlight joins in.

"Well, at least you get to go somewhere and eat. My day of excitement is cleaning the castle with Spike." She groans, rolling her eyes.

"Poor Starlight.." Sadness sighs quietly, so we only briefly hear her. I faintly groan at the sad emotion.

"Good luck with that," Twilight begins, as Fear presses a button on the console. "Just.. Try not to use magic to manipulate Spike."

Starlight snorts. "I'll try."

Fear squeaks and makes Twilight glance at the sun. The alicorn gasps.

"Well, I better go or I'll miss my train. See you later, Starlight!" She dismisses Starlight and we leaves the lovely castle. Lovely and sparkly. Ugh.

It's me again. I wasn't very prudent for talking to you. I guess I can't really blame myself; a lot occurred since that breakfast in the castle. Naturally, you'll want to know what's going on. I'll get this over with and tell you.

After a pleasant, but kind of lonely train ride, we arrived at Canterlot. Our old hometown. Sadness helped me bring up old memories of our old house and those constant hours of studying. Piles and piles of books.

"We can't think about that now! We have a meeting to go to!" Fear cried, sweat beading.

"A boring meeting!" Anger grumbled, lowering her eyebrows.

"It'll be fine! Besides, it's actually a buffet! Food!" Joy cheered, swirling around in the air. Anger glowered at her.

"Whatever, let's actually get to the buffet." I ordered, as Twilight trotted through Canterlot.

We entered the Canterlot castle and were welcomed by a crusade of guards, who blew into their noisy and stupidly annoying trumpets. A large red carpet was rolled out in front of us, made out of a soft material.

"Do they have to do this every time we go into somewhere?" Anger complained, as we politely paced on the carpet.

"We are a princess, so unfortunately yes." I groaned, the noisy trumpets setting me off.

"Well, it's kind of an honor, don't you think?" Joy smiled at us, as we neared the two princesses.

"An honor is what I'd call stupid trumpets being blown into our ears." Anger fussed, semi-glaring at the yellow one. Joy's smile shrunk, but she didn't say anything else.

"Guys! It's Princess Celestia!" Fear cried, as Twilight faced the co-ruler of Equestria. She peered down at us with a royal grin.

"Welcome, Twilight," Celestia spoke, in a affable tone, smiling. We bowed our head at her. "Please, come join us at the event."

"What if the ponies there don't like us? What if they think we're dumb? What if.." Fear panicked, grabbing her hind legs, as she muttered issues. "WHAT IF THEY TRY TO BANISH US BECAUSE THEY HATE US SO MUCH AND-"

"Now that's ridiculous," I interrupted, calming the frantic emotion down. At least I hoped. "Come on, we don't want to look like you in front of our guests."

We gaped at a huge table set out in front of us, filled with piles of food and drinks. Foreign ponies sat around it in large, posh chairs, chatting away to Princess Luna. We placed ourselves next to Princess Celestia.

"Let's grab a hayburger!" Joy encouraged, eyeing a pile of that fresh food.

"No. We don't want to look greedy." I spoke, making the disappointed Twilight pour herself a glass of crystal-clear water instead. It was fresh and healthy, much better than a hayburger.

"Ponies of Saddle Arabia! Thank you so much for coming to celebrate this meal with us," Celestia grinned at the foreigners. To be polite, we grinned at them too, and they grinned back. Celestia nodded. "Now, we know you've come from far away. How are you finding Canterlot? If you aren't from around here, you might find this land quite strange."

"It is a bit different." One of the ponies commented, getting a chuckle from all around the table. Unfortunately we had to force Twilight to laugh.

Celestia cleared her throat. "Well, I'm sure you'll get used to it, since you are not staying here for long. Now, since you are going to be performing some important deeds for us, and such we for you, I need to read some important scrolls." The ruler brought out a pile of scrolls.

"What! REALLY? We don't wanna listen to boring scrolls!" Anger squawked from the back. I hated to admit it, but I wasn't really big on reading about the scrolls either.

"But this could be very interesting!" Joy protested, heading to the console to stop Anger. Fear gave Sadness and I a frightful glance. So I stepped forward.

"Look, let's just put a daydream on." I said, bringing up a daydream about Starswirl The Bearded. Joy reluctantly joined my side, as the 5 of us watched the fascinating and colourful daydream. Anger seemed rather relieved that we didn't have to listen to those 'boring' scrolls.

"Twilight?" It was Celestia. The daydream disappeared in a puff and we stared up at the ruler. "Would you like to give a speech on the magic of friendship in Equestria?"

"Oh, so now we have to do a speech?" Anger scowled, narrowing her eyes. I sighed and placed a hoof on the console.

"Yes," Twilight answered, facing the ponies of Saddle Arabia. "Hello. My name is Twilight Sparkle. And I'm the Princess of Friendship. I also like to t-t-teach p-p-ponies about f-f-friendship." She began.

"Fear! Get off the console!" I hissed at the purple emotion. She lowered her ears and glanced away. I sighed and kept driving.

"Yes, I do teach them about the most powerful magic of all," Twilight went on, glad to see that the Saddle Arabians were interested. "I used to think friendship was useless, until I was sent to Ponyville by my mentor, Celestia." Twilight jerked her head in Celestia's direction.

"All right! You're doing well, Leader!" Joy cheered, with her usual grin. I didn't take the time to grin at her because I was quite obviously assisting Twilight.

"And so I studied friendship, learning more about it. Before I knew it, I was assigned Princess of Friendship." We smiled at the Saddle Arabians, who shared fascinated looks. Even Fear was beginning to seem relieved.

"So, you studied this friendship, yes?" One of the Saddle Arabians asked, with an eyebrow raised. We nodded vigorously. The pony cocked her head slightly to the side. "What have you learnt about this.. Friendship?"

We brought up a few golden memories to help us. "A lot of things. Friendship is a very powerful magic."

One of the other Saddle Arabians seemed perplexed. "A magic? Friendship cannot be a magic." Only then I jabbed the console, making Twilight pick on her unusual appearance and dodgy English, as I expressed a mild scowl. Meanwhile, Fear made Twilight chuckle apprehensively.

"Well, that's what I thought too, you know," We pointed out, keeping a smile on our face. "I thought friendship couldn't possibly be magic, but now I know better."

The pony didn't seem convinced. "What do you mean? Magic can only be obtained through the pony itself. Not it's qualities."

Anger perked up, semi-glaring at the pony. However, I didn't allow her to approach the console. Instead, I just made us a little appalled, but it didn't show on our face. We bowed our head a little.

"Well, it's complicated. Trust me, I was just like you. You have to really make friends to understand the magic." Twilight spoke calmly, though I couldn't help rolling my eyes at this ridiculous pony. What did they know about anything? They had no right to talk.

"Really? But what is the magic? It does not make sense." The pony insisted, evidently not ready to give up. The other ponies on the table shared anxious glances, but the pony and us ignored them. Still not letting Anger near the console, I patiently pulled a lever, Twilight giving her response.

"It's difficult to explain, as I said. Have you ever experience friendship before?" We asked politely. The pony paused, prudent, biting her lip and brushing a little of her brown mane out of her face.

"Yes. But it was never magic. I really do not know where you originated the magic lies. I do not understand why they call you Princess of Friendship. The sense; it makes none." She argued, her eyes now the size of a wedge. Princess Celesita gave us an unsure look. The other Saddle Arabians shared this appearance. The table was surrounded in a deathly, horrid silence. It made us sick. Sick.

"'Magic lies'?!' 'I do not understand why they call you Princess of Friendship?!''" Anger spat from behind us, narrowing her eyes.

"Just give her a chance! She doesn't understand!" Joy replied desperately, hovering slightly above the ground.

"Oh, really? She said she had friends! SHE CALLED US UNWORTHY OF OUR ROLE!" Anger boomed, her hair starting to smoke. Fear could already tell this wasn't going to end well, so she bolted up to her room. Sadness was hiding in her mountain of pillows, her head briefly peaking out.

Joy was not so frantic. Her voice was a mix of boldness, fear and her own, chippy tone. "Well.. I'm sure she didn't mean it. Come on, we have no reason to be angry."

Anger snorted, her head getting hotter. "THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK! THAT'S WHAT YOU ALWAYS THINK! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO GO AT ME?! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" Then her head exploded into a volcano, flames going everywhere, Joy biting her lip. I shook my head. I'm the leader! I wasn't going to stand for this. But Anger was already at the console.

"WHAT?! THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!" Twilight snarled at the pony, shocking everypony even more, as we panted heavily, a spark at the tip of our horn. The Saddle Arabian's ears lowered and she backed away from us.

"I.. I.. did not mean.. What I said.." She breathed, shaking her head. "I was.. Stating what I believed."

"Yeah, that's why you called us unworthy of our role!" Anger snapped, a red memory rolling on the shelves. Not a memory I wanted to see at a buffet. But what could I do? To be fair, the pony did start this, but we continued it. So we were both to blame.

"YOU. CALLED. ME. WORTHLESS." Twilight hissed back, Anger showing no intention of leaving the console, especially since our horn looked ready to shoot a bolt, as well as the console lighting up crimson. Celestia suddenly put her royal hoof on our shoulder, and Twilight stopped gritting her teeth. The Saddle Arabians were petrified, and had gathered in a little huddle. I tugged Anger's tail and gestured her away.

Due to the whole incident, we had to cut the buffet short. None of us were pleased at Anger or the pony. Celestia, unfortunately was one of them.

"Twilight, I know that pony was being unfair, but you really shouldn't lose your temper like that." She scolded, quietly but strictly, staring down at us. Sadness was driving, make us bow our heads at the ruler. Joy and Anger, surprise surprise, were glaring at each other. Fear had returned, looking a little shaken up. She was fine though.

"Sorry, your highness. I don't know what got into me." We apologized, grimacing in depression. Celestia tutted.

"I am disappointed in you," She stated, which made Sadness sniffle. "Albeit, I know it was not your fault completely. That mare shall get a talking to."

"Yeah…?" Joy commented, on the optimistic side. We ignored her and focused on the ruler.

"You are dismissed, Twilight. You are lucky that I am just giving you a warning. But please, never do that again. I expected better from you." Celestia finished, then turned away, her rainbow mane flowing. Twilight kept her head bowed, Sadness still driving, as we left Canterlot Castle.

"She's so ashamed of us.." The blue emotion sighed, her eyes going watery.

"Well, now she's disappointed in us. It'll take a while to get her trust back!" Fear cried, getting yet another list for earning trust.

"It wouldn't be that way if it wasn't for Anger." Joy spoke up, causing said red emotion to scowl. I couldn't believe that she still wanted to argue.

"That pony was unfair! Do you expect me to sit here and do nothing?" Anger spat, glaring at all of us. I sighed.

"Look.. Anger has a point." I agreed, Joy staring at me as if I had betrayed her.

"Wait, you're on her side now? Not Team Happy?" She questioned, her voice tinged with surprise. I raised both my eyebrows.

"Excuse me? 'Team Happy'? Since when did we have teams? We're all one team!" I complained, giving her my look of disapproval. "And I'm the leader! I did not permit you to make some teams within our group without letting me know!"

"Well, you can't control everything we do! You're just the organizer! Not our mother!" Anger growled, glaring at me with fury, almost standing up for Joy. I gave her my infamous look of disgust.

"Yes. But as, ehem, organizer, it's bad if you make teams within a team. And stupid! In fact, it's stupid why you two fight! You have no reason!" I replied, lowering my ears, flapping my wings and hovering a tad above the ground. The yellow and red emotion shared the same blank expression, and all was silent. "Why?" I was getting more bothered by the second.

"It's complicated. Don't worry about it." Joy shakily answered, with a nervous grin. I groaned.

"'Don't worry about it'? Really? You two disgust me. All you do is fight and you don't even care about the others!" I argued, shaking my head. Fear was hiding behind a memory shelf, while Sadness was sniffling into a pillow. I cocked my head towards them. "Look what you're doing! You're hurting Twilight, for heaven's sakes!"

Anger and Joy gave each other a mild glare, before the latter spoke up. "But really, that.. Table event was.. Not really my fault." She floated above the ground, hovering next to the red emotion, pointing her yellow horn straight at her.

"Yeah, well, how many times do I have to say it? IT WASN'T OUR FAULT! THAT PONY WAS BEING RIDICULOUS!" Anger yelled back, getting steamy again.

"But you really didn't have to yell at her! I know she was rude, but only if you didn't touch the console, we could've-"

"WHAT? WE COULD'VE WHAT?!"

I moaned hotly, biting my lip. Fear had disappeared off to her room again, and Sadness was weeping softly into her pillow. I couldn't hear her whimpering because of those blasted idiots. Speaking of the duo, they head their horns lit up, yellow and red sparks flying everywhere. Then I get a whole smack of nostalgia, of all the years the duo had been bickering. From when they first started, to how it got worse. All the awful memories of my voice straining at them to stop and Sadness' begging and Fear's pleading.

"Just. Stop. Please," I breathed, not intending to sound so deflated, but what did I have left? Believe or not, the idiots actually listened and turned their attention towards me. "Ugh, you actually stopped for once. Separate."

I separated the duo and kept them as far away from each other as I possibly could, albeit they were egregious at each other. We were free to return to the castle, due to the cancellation of the meetings. Starlight, true to her word was feather dusting the shelves with Spike. We didn't bother to say hello. Anger wasn't in the mood for discussing with them. So we just spent the rest of the day sorting through all of these boring scrolls and writing letters to important ponies.

By the time it was dark, we were all tired of reading those thick scrolls. At least Joy and Anger didn't fight again, though Sadness kept bringing up that stupid fighting memory. Thanks so much Sadness. We really needed to see that.

"I'm on Dream Duty everypony," I declared, dismissing the dofuses away. Sadness and Fear had already gone up to their quarters, leaving the three of us. I narrowed my eyes at them. "I'm not finished with you two yet. I know the two of you are going to bicker all night long. Nopony wants that. So don't even think about doing it."

"Pinkie promise I won't!" Joy squealed happily, leaping a little in the air. Anger grumbled her response, which I took as a yes. I grinned at them.

"That's what I thought. But I don't totally believe you," They gave me looks of perplexion. "I know you're going to fight anyway. I think you two need to stop fighting and be friends."

"What the heck?" Anger questioned, raising her brow, with her usual scowl.

"What the heck I mean is that you're not sleeping tonight," I continued. "Nope. You're going to Book World. Out of HQ. To.. the wonderful places of this mind."

"Ooh! That could be fun! Book World is awesome!" Joy cried, her voice filled with excitement as she jumped up and down. Anger didn't look quite as ecstatic.

"You want me to go to Book World... WITH HER?!" She complained, with a larger scowl as she jabbed a hoof in Joy's direction.

"Go." I furiously pointed at the exit of HQ, past the shelves and shelves of books here in HQ.

"You can't make me!" Anger pouted, snaring at me.

"Yes. I. Can," I replied, straightening up. "I'm the leader and I make the decisions. And I want you to go. Get out of my sights. Go to the Mind World." Reluctantly, I used my green alicorn magic to place a translucent shield between the duo and I. Anger banged on it fiercely, but I just kept gesturing to the exit, rather poshly. So finally, the two of them left HQ, hopefully to the Mind World.

I turned my head towards the lit up screen, a fear within in me doubting the plan. No, I told myself sternly, I'm not Fear. I don't need to worry. That's what I had been telling myself over my entire life, which might've been the only thing that stopped me from going crazy. Perhaps Joy was right. They'd be fine. I wasn't worried about them. I was annoyed. Worrying is Fear's job.

I'm the leader. I tell the others what to do and organize them. I don't fret about everything. I shan't worry. I shan't. I am not afraid. I'm not afraid of what will happen to Twilight. Disgusted, but not afraid.

That's when I noticed the shield was gone. Weird, I thought, I never removed it. I got off my chair and trotted towards where the shield had been. I wiped traced my hoof along the floor, trying to avoid getting dirty dust on it. Odd. I turned back to my chair, eager to move it, so I tried to light up my horn.

But the magic didn't work.
