Riley Anderson walked down the sidewalk in the small town of Staybrook, California. Her parents decided this place would be a good place for a family vacation. But she didn't seem to be having any fun.

Then suddenly, at the corner of her eye, Riley spotted an old looking house high on a hill. It looked real spooky, but at the same time, it fascinated Riley. Being that bored, she decided to check it out.

Surely there was no one living in this old house.

Riley braved her way up the hill and into the mansion. She was amazed at how big this mansion was. There wasn't anything remotely scary about it. She walked upstairs and spotted a room with a door slightly opened. Strange lights were coming from it, so she decided to investigate.

Taking a cautious peek before stepping in, Riley pushed the door opened and gasped. For she had discovered a laboratory! It was something she saw in a Frankenstein movie! Huge machines with blinking lights loomed over her. Wires and cables were around the floor and on the walls.

Then Riley spotted a rather strange looking machine on a table. It looked like a metal box with blinking multi-colored lights on it. A strange satellite antenna was sticking out of it.

Curiosity overflowing, Riley went up to the machine and reached out to touch it, unsure is she should or not.

"HEY!" a voice boomed.

Riley yelped and spun around. She screamed when she saw an actual Frankenstein monster towering over her.

"What are you doing here?!" the monster growled, about to grab the girl.

Still screaming, Riley jumped back in fright and her elbow hit the machine! It fell on the floor very hard and it began to activate! It buzzed and shook until a rainbow colored light shot out from the antenna and hit Riley!

Riley wailed in pain as the laser hit her. Her body shined then five bright lights shot out from her head and landed on the ground. The monster jumped back behind a machine for cover.

The machine deactivated and Riley collapsed.

When Frankenstrike peered behind the machine, he got the biggest shock of his life!

Five creatures were standing in his lab. One was a yellow skinned woman with blue hair and was glowing. Another woman that was completely blue and wore glasses. One girl was green from her hair to her shoes while a short, red man stood beside a purple skinned, paranoid looking man.

Every one of these creatures looked extremely scared and confused.

"J-J-J-Joy?! W-Where are we?!" the purple one said, gripping onto the red guy, who punched him off.

"What is this place?! This is NOT Headquarters!" the green one said, just as panicked.

The blue one gasped and drew back in fear. "Is that...Riley?!"

The creatures turned and horror twisted their faces when they saw Riley on the floor.

"It is Riley!" the glowing woman gasped in a shaky breath. "What's happening?!"

"Uh, excuse me."

The five creatures turned and saw Frankenstrike! They all screamed and tried to run away, only bumping into each other briefly before running off in other directions.

Fear, the purple one, was the first to run out screaming out of the lab. He kept screaming while aimlessly running down the hall. He turned a corner and bumped into Sasha Jocklin.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Fear screamed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Sasha screamed.

"GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Fear said as he ran back, only to bump into Anger, the red one.

"GET OFF OF ME!" Anger snapped.

Sasha could only stare at the bizarre scenario that what occurring in front of her.

"Sasha?" Rachel came upstairs. "What's going on up-" She froze up like Sasha seeing the five colored creatures panicking and running all over the place.

"ENOUGH!" Frankenstrike roared as he stomped his foot hard, making the ground shake and the creatures freeze with fright.

After a long, stunned silence, Rachel spoke. "What are you guys?"

"Uh, I'm Joy." the yellow, glowing girl said slowly. "This is Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and-"

"FORGET ABOUT US!" Anger stomped. He stomped towards the human girls. "WHERE ARE WE?! WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHY ARE WE OUT OF RILEY'S HEAD?!"

Rachel stared while Sasha hid behind her.

"I take it your...Anger?" Rachel asked.

"Very perceptive." Anger growled. "We're Riley's emotions."

"We need to get back inside Riley!" Sadness said.

"I'm afraid this is all my fault." Frankenstrike said. "I was making a device that would help people bring out their feelings, making it easy for therapy sessions." He lowered his head. "But it appears that it released the emotions of this Riley girl that snuck into my lab!"

"Well, can't you fix this mess, Franken-freakazoid?!" Disgust snapped with sass.

"It'll take some time. But I'll get to work on it right away." the alien went back into his lab.

The emotions just stood there.

"So...what now?" asked Fear.

"Well, since you're here. You might as well enjoy it." Rachel said with a smile.

Joy smiled too. "Y'know, she's right!" She glowed even brighter. "This is great! It's like...a day off!"

"A day off?! Are you mad?!" Anger said bitterly.

"A day off doesn't sound too bad." Disgust said.

"Fine." Anger growled.

And so, Rachel made tea and everyone gathered in the parlor to talk. "So, what's it like being an emotion?" Rachel asked.

"Well, we all work together to keep Riley's head together and take care of her." Joy explained. "And every single one of us is important to Riley. I make sure she's happy and upbeat, always looking on the bright side of things!"

"My job is to keep Riley from being poisoned, physically and socially." said Disgust. "Do you have anything sweet to go with this tea?"

Rachel and Sasha looked over to the grumbling Anger. "And what about you, Anger?"

Anger just grumbled some more and drank his tea, ignoring them.

"Uh, well, Anger's job is to make sure things are fair in Riley's life." Joy told them.

Sasha looked over to Fear. He looked like a nervous wreck with him holding his tea cup with his shaky hands.

"Fear?" Joy said.

Fear yelped and dropped his tea. "Oh! Uh, s-s-sorry about that." He moved his head around to make no nothing scary was around him.

"Are you okay?" Rachel said.

"He's fine. He's Fear." Joy said, assured. "His job is to keep Riley safe. Right, Fear?"

"Yep, that's me!" Fear said. "It just...feels so strange, being outside of Riley and all." He sipped his tea. "Especially in this old, spooky house..." Fear chuckled nervously. "In fact...since I'm out of Riley's head, how will Riley be safe?!" He gulped and started to shake. "Wait a minute, how will I be safe?!"

"Fear-"

But the purple emotion began looking around in a rapid pace of panic. "What was that?! I think something's behind me! Is something behind me?! There's something behind me, isn't there?! There aren't any more monsters here besides that Frankenstein guy right?!"

"YOU IDIOT!" Anger barked. "There is absolutely nothing to panic about!

"He's right, Fear. There's nothing to worry about." Rachel told him. "There's nothing to..." Her voice trailed off.

Fear saw the shocked looks on his friends' faces.

"What's going on here?" a haunting voice said from behind Fear.

The very nervous emotion shakily turned around and saw not one, but several monsters! A ghost, a mummy, a werewolf, and a vampire!

It was only the friendly Galactic Monsters that lived with the Jocklin sisters, but Fear got the wrong impression right away.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Fear screamed and ran right through the door, leaving a Fear-shaped hole behind.

"Fear! Get back here!" Joy said as she and everyone else chased after the frantic emotion.
