Author's note: themonument343 here, nuts to my old story. I decided to make a new story, just visit my profile for the old one. Why did I make a new one?
I felt lazy to update that story.
I skipped. Now Riley is at 28 years old. Having been an accredited paediatrician.
As I mentioned in my old story, she and her family moved to Southern California. In Los Angeles to be exact.
And of course, I paired Disgust and Anger here. *or not!*

"Tick, tock, tick, tock." Joy counted and waited. She handled dream duty for the night. Although she felt queasy and tired, her usual energetic attitude prevented her from falling asleep. She was excited for Riley's first duty as an accredited doctor. Riley has always loved being around children, an attitude which completely came out of nowhere, which started from when she used to babysit for their neighbor's 4 year-old Turkish twins, Enes and Atakan, born to migrant parents. That's when her interest in Turkey fuelled up, because she was very close to the twins and their parents, who eventually taught her Turkish, in return.
"Mornin'." Disgust greeted after leaving her room from her sleep, to be followed by Anger, Sadness, and then Fear. Judging by Disgust's and Fear's eyebags they've had only few hours of sleep. Disgust wondering all night if there'd be a surgery and Fear worrying all night if some patient would die.
"Our little girl is now an accredited doctor. Finally!" Joy exclaimed in victory as all others cheered too, with Anger letting out a flame to well, you know, give a little light to the little ceremony inside Riley's head.
Meanwhile, Riley has finally awaken after the emotions did first, to look at her alarm clock at 7:00 in the morning. She then went out the door to be greeted by her parents who were preparing breakfast.
"Morning, Dr. Andersen!" Jill, Riley's mother, playfully greeted Riley, which made Riley blush a bit. Bill, her father, also greeted her.
"From this, to this!" Bill then showed pictures of a newborn Riley, to her toddler days, her 11th birthday picture blowing a candle, and finally her graduation portrait holding a diploma accrediting her as an official graduate of the university she attended. She took medicine for 5 years with an additional 3 years of residency at the hospital and it was on her birthday she graduated. She turned 24 on her graduation from college
After they had eaten breakfast, Riley took a shower, got dressed, and prepared the things she will need in her new office. She wore a teal blouse and a navy blue knee-length skirt with black 1.5-inch heels. Her office was a bit child-themed, since she's a paediatrician. A printed poster of Bing Bong, Riley's imaginary friend when she was still a toddler, has been pasted on the wall, modelled as a height chart. Her table is composed of her work desktop computer and other materials found in every doctor's table. And as they arrived at the hospital, Riley prepared for her first duty as an accredited doctor, however, her parents treated her like when she would be dropped off to school.
"Take care, monkey!" Dad waved goodbye, using the name that he used to call Riley during her little days. "If you need anything we'll be at your doorsteps in less than a millisecond!"
"See ya!" Riley then simply yelled in goodbye, as she entered through the sliding doors she reported to her department and signed in on the fingerprint scanner.
"ANDERSEN, RILEY N." It's my fictional middle initial for her, unless she actually has one from Pixar's official sources. (A/N). "08:54" the machine returned.
"Hmm, pretty early." Riley said under her breath as she marched towards her office and inserted her key and unlocked the door. She then placed her things under her table and turned her desktop on.
Meanwhile in headquarters
"You keep checking on your nails like they're your kids, little miss broccoli!" Anger barked.
"Ease up on the heat, little mister brick! You should worry about your own smoke than me checking on my beautiful nails!" Disgust bickered which then caused Anger's head to slowly light up and eventually he burst out BLUE flames, to which Disgust just simply took a bucket of water and threw its contents at him, causing him to hiss and cool down.
"Feeling better now?" Disgust quipped sarcastically.
"Pffft. Cooler now." Anger muttered while panting.
"That's great."
After 30 minutes of paperwork, Riley then accommodated to her first patient, or maybe just a visitor, a 2 month old baby boy named Nolan. She was surprised when she found out who the mother was.
"Ri-lee. Is that you now?" Riley recognized the face and much to her surprise. It's Meg. Her best friend from Minnesota and upon seeing her old friend, they both shrieked in surprise with Meg cradling the baby boy accompanied by a man in a police uniform who appears to be Meg's husband.
"Is that... YOUR SON? You're a mother now!? OMG, OMG" Riley shrieked to which Meg simply smiled, "Yes. Not that I'm already a mother, I'm also a Californian too, and this is Roy, my fiancée. He proposed to me in the maternity ward after I gave birth to this little guy. We've been in a relationship for 5 years, but we did something premarital and this bundle of joy came."
"Yes, Police Officer II Roy Nielsen, Los Angeles Police. At your service." Roy laughed and then he added, "I work in Shootin' Newton."
"Danger must be your life, huh?" Riley laughed.
"Well, I eat danger for dinner." Roy replied laughingly.
"So when's the wedding?"
"To be announced. But to be honest we really don't know but we'll first have a civil."
"Mmkay." Riley said. "So, are you here for a check-up or what?" Riley then quipped.
"Nah, we just heard you're now a commissioned doctor and we decided to drop by to say congratulations." Meg concluded and then she dropped a paper bag containing a slice of cheesecake.
"Mmm, thanks. This is actually my first day as a commissioned doctor." Riley said. "If you need your baby to get checked, just drop by anytime between 09 to 05." Riley added. "What's your son's name anyhow?"
"Nolan."
"Can I cradle him?"
"Here you go, he's a delicate kid!" Meg laughed as she handed the baby to Riley and the 26 year-old woman held the baby in her arms. She rocked him and she cooed to herself "I wish I had a son like you.."
In headquarters, Joy was so amazed at the baby that she pressed numerous buttons on the control panel, in which, Anger and Joy pushed the levers, which triggered Riley's aggression to cuteness of the baby with a playful expression on her face.
"That's one cute bundle of joy!" Joy cried, to which Anger said "Ach! Now that's what triggers aggression!"
And at the same time, Sadness pressed some buttons on the panel, which made Riley think if she would ever have a son like Nolan.
"Thanks for dropping by! And Roy, take care on the streets!" Riley waved goodbye and at the same time, handed over the baby to Meg. Riley had just watched End of Watch with her colleagues the week before, which made her aware of the LAPD's Division 13 and how dangerous things get in that area.
I had a writer's block for like a week, so I decided to discontinue my previous story and make a new one out of scratch. Thanks for reading :)
Your suggestions and comments are highly appreciated. I'm an inexperienced writer so some little piece of advice or comment will do ;)
