AN: Ok, so I'm branching out with ideas because I'm having writer's block on the other stories. I honestly have no ideas with what I've set up for the SoulXMaka story or my Inuyasha fanfiction. I've come up with some ideas for my Undertale story but they're still in my editing phase. So until then here's something new by me. Hope you enjoy! I own none of the characters.
Inside Out: Teenage years
Heya! Remember me? What?! You don't? C'mon, it's me, Joy! Yeah, there ya go! I basically am in control of Riley's happiness. Now, I used to be on top of that. Like, no one else was allowed to touch the control board. But recently I've allowed the others to help. And now I guess Riley has a more rounded personality, which is way better than when she almost had no personality. Boy, was that scary. Fear must've been going crazy, haha!
Anyway back to the new control board! It's bigger than the first one, so that's a lot more wiggle room for this gal! I'm on dream duty right now so I can poke around and see what everything does. They didn't even give us a manual, can you believe that? Lemme check her dream real quick. Yep! It's all good! I watch the dream of some pop band that we are really into right now singing at Riley's birthday party that should be happening this Saturday. Great! Alrighty, let's see what we have here.
There's the ball thing that has always been here, and there's the other ones for the other emotions. Yep, that's nothing new. Hmm, there's the idea slot, it's also on everyone's own personal space. But there's that one button that's in the middle that's red. OOOO, it's big and red. Maybe it has something to do with Anger? But it has a big word on it. PUBERTY… Hmmm… Maybe since it's a big word that is confusing it has something to do with Fear? Or wait! It starts with a P… What else starts with P? Pee, poop, pterodactyl… Maybe it's for Disgust. Oh no, what if it's actually Sadness's button? Then we might lose everything again. No Joy don't think like that.
Waaaiiit a minute… Maybe… Maybe it's for me? Red doesn't always mean mad, and just because it's a big word doesn't mean it's scary. And, and just because it starts with a P doesn't mean it's disgusting. And I doubt it's for Sadness anyhow, because it looks like it has nothing sad about it! It's obviously for me! Well, let's try it out then.
As soon as I think that my fingers inch towards the button. Giddy with excitement I slam on the button with full force. Suddenly red lights start flashing and an alarm starts blaring. "What's happening?" yells Fear. I look over and try to diffuse the situation before he makes a big deal about it, but Riley's eyes open.
Her head swivels from side to side and then she sits up. Her hands come up to her eyes and she rubs the remaining sleep away. Her body tenses as she stretches her muscles to loosen them up from the stiffness they experience when sleeping. She flips on the light switch and pulls the covers away so she can get up and get a drink of water. When her head tilts down after a yawn is when we all see it. There, between Riley's legs, is a big red splotch.
