On September 27th, Olivia Reagan Arnold was born.
Inside of Olivia's head, Sadness and Joy arrived at the same time. They were Olivia's first two emotions.
Sadness was blue and short. She wore sweaters and was never smiling. She had a droopy sort of appearance and personality. Regardless of any of that, she was important to Olivia's personality and life.
Joy was tall and yellow. She was always eager and happy. She kept a smile on her own face and did her best to make others smile as well. She wore a blue ponytail and wore pretty, summer dresses all year round.
The two emotions looked around the room. Right in the front of the room there was a screen that showed what Olivia was seeing.
Olivia was on her mom's lap on the hospital bed and her dad was right there as well. The couple looked at their newborn baby in awe.
In front of the screen, there was a little stool with a large button on the top. On the walls around the screen and the button there were empty shelves and at the end of the room to their right there were large windows but the only thing out the windows was a maze-like area. In between the headquarters that the emotions were currently in and the maze there was a large void of nothing.
While Joy was looking out the window, Sadness had made her way over to the button. With a glance, she examined the button which appeared to be perfectly normal. Sadness pressed the button down carefully.
Olivia began to cry. She let out a wail that seemed too loud for an infant only just born. Her parents tried to soother her, her mom rocking her back and forth only very gently.
Joy saw it happen and then a blue globe made of glass fell onto the shelves and made its way down with the slight incline towards the very bottom. Joy rushed over and looked into the sphere where it replayed the memory again of Olivia crying. Joy then made her way to the button which she tried pressing.
Olivia stopped crying and made a little, toothy smile. Her mom let out a sigh of relief.
Another small ball fell onto the shelf and down to sit beside the blue one but this time it was a golden colour. Joy bounced over to the shelf where she crouched down and watched Olivia's first smile repeat.
Olivia closed her eyes and let out a slight yawn.
