Now, for all those who expected the third chapter of Emotional Trauma, I just want to let you know, I'm trying to serve up to expectations. Therefore, setting release dates probably isn't the best idea. So, no Chapter 3 today. Sorry! :(

Anyhow, the 8/3 release date is still special! Why?

An Emotional Trauma WRITER'S CUT!

I told you all in Chapter 1 that I might release the original versions of the chapters, so that way you all see what I write for non-FanFiction related stuff. Well, here you go.

Expect the third chapter of the OFFICIAL story soon! I'm sorry for no third chapter, but you all will be grateful I didn't release it today when you see it. It's a mess right now. X(

Chapter 1-Memories

Date: 2 days after the film

It was perfect. Everything was perfect.

The islands had been restored, and Riley was back to normal, other than the fact that Sadness now had a role in her life-to signal when she needed help.

What could go wrong?

Well, it began to go wrong two days after Riley confessed her sadness. The islands had been restored. Which meant, now there was something to look at over a dreaded place called-the Memory Dump.

You see, Joy and an imaginary friend named Bing Bong had gotten stuck in there at one point on their way back-and Joy tearfully gave up for a moment. Of course, things resolved themselves-but Bing Bong sacrificed his life.

Enough exposition. Let's get to the story.

STORY BEGINS HERE

It was a great day in Headquarters. In fact, now it was night. Memories were rolling past a blue light, which was from none other than Joy, the leader of the group.

The memories passed her, and like usual, watched them sparkle out into Long Term Memory. It was a beautiful sight, watching the memories fly over the isles of personality. Well, right now there was just one. However, once Joy made new memories, there would be a lot more! She just knew it.

As Joy watched the memories go off, she suddenly found herself looking down, to the Memory Dump.

The moment she saw it, memories sparkled within her.

It had failed twice...

She was almost ready to give up again. Suddenly, Bing Bong took her hand. "Cmon Joy. One more time. I have a feeling about this one".

And so the two of them sang the special song needed to launch the rocket. "Sing louder!" Bing Bong said, before...he jumped out.

Joy didn't know what he'd done, so she kept singing, frantically and loudly. Finally, the rocket crashed into the top, and Joy collapsed to the ground, before getting up and dancing!

"WOO HOO! WE DID IT, BING BONG! Wait..." she started, noticing that he wasn't there! "Bing Bong?"

She looked down, and saw him dancing around! She just stared, horrified!

"Go! Go save Riley!" Bing Bong said. Tears started again in Joy's eyes.

"Take her to the moon for me, Joy," Bing Bong said...and waved as he disappeared.

The pain in Joy's heart lead to a scream of heartbreak.

And now, that same scream came out of Joy as she collapsed to the floor.

Tears filled her eyes. Why was this happening? Why was she crying-for the third time in a week? Had something broken inside of her?

She got up and wiped off the tears. I don't have time for this, she thought as she moved back to the console.

I won't tell them, she told herself as she monitored the dreams.

Since this was a writer's cut, it didn't have the modifications I made to the original. This is what I write without the support of fans.

Anyhow, see you soon! Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye!
