Riley sat down at her desk, supposed to be working on HW, but instead doodling ideas about her upcoming 16th birthday party (even though it wasn't for a couple of months).
"Ohhh! And then we can have confetti and sparkles rain down as she enters this big fancy room! Oh it should have a chandelier... A chandelier made out of hockey sticks! Oh and-" (joy said as she gathered a plentiful of lightbulbs)
"Would you shut up already! Your going to cause a headache with all of this" (anger yelled, smoking on top of his head)
"Ah! That can't happen! If that happens" (Fear went rambling on about all of the possibilities that could occur).
As the three kept doing... Well whatever they were doing... Sadness continued to read the new manuals that came with the updated counsel. (There was certainly a lot more to read now ). Disgust filed her nails and rolled her eyes as she glared at the other emotions. Meanwhile, Riley's ears caught the phone ringing downstairs.
"Her fathers probably calling because he's going to be late again" Sadness said as she sniffled.
Joy went over to comfort her (best) friend. "Now you don't know that! For all we know it could be grandma! Oh! Or aunt Ann is coming to visit tomorrow"!
"Or maybe Jingles the clown is coming for a visit". All of the emotions shuddered.
Just then Riley's mother voice could be heard echoing throughout the house. "WHAT!?"
The sudden noise made Riley jump, also breaking her pencil in the process. Fear instantly took main place at the monitor as the rest of the emotions gathered around.
"What's going on" asked sadness in a monotone voice.
Joy looked around the others, curiosity running through all of them. "I don't know, let's go check it out"! Joy tried to be positive, yet something was felt...off...
Riley opened her door, and creeped down the stairs. She looked down at the small dining room table to see her mother crying, with her head in her hands. Sadness and fear started to take the main controls of this moment. "M-Mom? What's wrong?" Said Riley. Her mother looked up at Riley with tear soaked eyes, she quickly looked down and wiped away her tears. Her mom looked deep into Riley's eyes, causing her nerves to rise.
"Something really bad must have happened to make her cry like this" said fear, pressing various buttons.
"This doesn't look good at all" Sadness said with her voice quivering.
Riley's mom motioned her to sit down, "Honey, this isn't going to (her voice cracked) to be easy to tell you". He broke down crying again. Joy ran to the controller, and a memory of Riley's mom comforting her after her team lost the championships last year. Riley then went to her mother and embraced her like she once did a year ago.
"Mom, you can tell me. What happened?" Her mother immediately hugged Riley crying into her shoulder.
"This is not good at all" sadness said as she slowly slid onto the floor.
"Did someone do this to her? Where are they? I'll make sure they regret it!" Anger shouted as he started to flare. Joy reassured them by saying "I'm sure everything will be fine guys and anger, no. Riley doesn't need that on her record".
Her mother finally began to recover. "Your f-father-"..
Riley's heart skipped a beat. Fear took the liberty of creating every possibility of how that sentence could end. All from 'has turned into a clown' to... Well you know... The counsel started to turn purple, and no one stopped him. Joy said "Maybe he won the lottery!" Joy said with false hope.
"Yeah, I don't think that's it Joy" anger said, looking worriedly at the monitor.
"Riley Your father is.."
