OK, thank y'all for reading my last story, Journey Through The Store. Really appreciate your support. As a thank you, I have a story that I think you'll like.
It was a June evening in San Francisco, maybe midnight or so. Some hints of fog were beginning to show up. All its residents were asleep. It seemed as if the whole Bay Area metropolis just stopped. Yet it seems as if the only place that was still up and running was Riley's mind. Or, maybe almost everyone else in San Francisco's heads, also. But let's not get off topic, okay? Okay.
"Come on, come on, use the attack already!" muttered Joy as she was playing Pokemon on her Nintendo 3DS. Apparently, her Squirtle wasn't enough to beat Charizard, who was the fire-red dragon that she'd always dream of having in her collection. All of a sudden, a noise of falling books was heard.
Did Sadness fall over again?, she thought.
Joy usually never hears things like this. Sure, Sadness trips on a book or two every now and then, but not so loud that everyone could hear it from their rooms, even with the doors closed.
Maybe Anger could be the culprit.
There was some proof. Anger is the heaviest of all the emotions in Riley's head. He also likes to hang around the book section a lot.
Everything was debunked when Joy realized that it was night time, and somehow nobody was on Dream Duty. She began to become suspicious.
Joy opened her bedroom door and crept up the hallway. What she saw was someone in a black cape and hood interfering with the console.
All Joy heard from him was "Must. Find. Switch.".
What switch does he mean of?, she thought. Joy was sure that there'd be no switch on the Console so capable of grabbing someone's interest that they'd break in to HQ and try to see what it does!
Joy slowly sneaked behind the bookshelf, worried that something would happen to her. Even worse, everyone else.
Suddenly, the person looked behind.
He monitored his surroundings, feeling as if someone was there watching him.
Fortunately for Joy, she wasn't noticed by the person, or was she.
Maybe I seen enough, she thought.
Joy sneaked back into her room and into bed. She couldn't sleep, checking her room for the person every few minutes.
Finally, sunrise. The time when most people wake up. MOST, not all.
Despite this, Joy was still uttered by the person that she saw.
"You seem a little weird today", said Sadness. She noticed Joy vibrating around her head.
Did she have a nightmare? Maybe a hallucination?, Sadness said in her head.
She was also starting to become suspicious that there was someone wandering around the Headquarters.
