"I can't believe Jessica's a mom and Riley's eleven now, it seems like yesterday they were both babies..." Cherry sighed as she sat with Atticus on the couch. "So, what's new for them?"

"I heard they're moving to San Francisco." Atticus pondered.

"I wonder how their emotions are handling this?" Patch said.

"Emotions?" Cherry and Atticus asked the puppy.

"Well, you know how important emotions are." Patch replied like it was obvious.

"Ohh, yeah, like that one time when I met my emotions." Cherry said.

"Precisely," Patch nodded. "Riley's eleven now, right, Atticus?"

"Yeah, I remember when she was still a baby." Atticus chuckled.

"Well, she'll be in... Um... What's that word?" Patch pondered.

"Puberty?" Cherry replied.

"Yeah, she'll be dealing with that soon." Patch nodded.

"I wonder what our emotions are doing right now." Patch said.

"Too bad we'll never know." Cherry shrugged.

"Or will you?" Drell's voice asked.

"Drell, not now, I'm not in the mood..." Cherry groaned, not even trying to make a pun right then, so it made the boys laugh and she looked confused.

"Drell?" Atticus asked.

Drell appeared and walked over with a smile.

"Whatever it is, the answer is no, I should visit my niece and help her out with any trouble she might have with being the new kid in school." Atticus put his hand up.

"This involves with the emotions." Drell said.

"Huh?" the others asked.

"You guys will have to go inside... Go deeper..." Drell replied.

"So, it's like Inception?" Cherry asked.

"Okay, you know what, I'll just use my magic and get this over with." Drell said before using his magic on them to make them smaller.

Cherry, Atticus, and Patch screamed suddenly. Drell then grabbed them in his hand and put them all in a jar for now.

"Where are we going?" Atticus asked.

"I told you, you need to go deeper, you're going to help your niece go through emotional change." Drell replied.

"Say what?" Atticus asked.

"You heard me..." Drell replied. "I just need to change you all into new emotions to fit into Riley's head... Hmm... What's your best traits?"

"Mine would be sports," Atticus said. "That and homework."

"Well, I'm a dog..." Patch shrugged.

"So endless hunger." Cherry deadpanned.

"Seriously?" Drell asked.

Cherry smirked.

"Loyalty." Drell said to Patch.

"Yeah, we dogs are pretty loyal." Patch agreed.

"And what for me and Atticus?" Cherry asked.

"I guess Atticus could be strength... Cherry, what're you good at besides ruining the mood with your pessimism?" Drell commented.

"I'm good at writing stories." Cherry said.

"Hmm..." Drell hummed. "I guess you'll be as useless as ever."

Cherry glared.

"Hmm... I guess she could work in Dream Studios..." Drell shrugged.

"I'll take it!" Cherry smiled.

"Dreams are really important to Cherry, huh?" Patch asked Atticus.

"Yeah, I don't get it, but if it makes her happy, it makes me happy." Atticus replied.

"Alright, then." Drell said.

"We're going in my niece's head..." Atticus said before wincing. "If we didn't know you, Drell, that would sound so awkward."

"Wait, what about Mo and everyone else?" Patch asked.

"There's no time." Drell put a lid on the jar for now. "We're gonna go back a little while to when Riley was born."

"We can't spend eleven years away from home!" Cherry replied.

"Ah, it'll be okay." Drell shrugged.

"Drell!" Atticus glared.

"It'll be fun!" Drell told them before he opened the jar into sudden darkness.

The three all yelled out and they were in a blank void of darkness that was only pitch black. They looked around, but they couldn't even see or hear anything.

"I hate it when he does that." Cherry glared.

"Oh, Cherry, you're still here!" Atticus called out. "I landed on something soft."

"Yeah, and something hard is sitting on me." Cherry replied.

"Why do I feel something on me?" Patch asked.

"Light's please!" Cherry called out.

A yellow figure in a green dress with short blue hair was walking over, then looked down to see the trio, she appeared to glow all around her body.

"She must be Joy." Atticus guessed.

"That's my name." the figure replied.

"Could you turn on the lights, please?" Cherry asked.

"Sure, I think we're just about to meet our parents!" Joy smiled as she then came to a yellow button and pushed it which made a screen appear and the screen was showing a brown-haired couple who were looking down to the baby in their arms.

"Oh, great." Cherry groaned.

"Can't you ever be positive?" Atticus glanced to her.

"Get off of me already!" Cherry snapped.

Atticus soon got off Cherry.

Cherry then stood up and cracked her back. "You're paying for my chiropractic bills."

"Alright." Atticus said.

Joy smiled as she saw the parents for the first time and pushed a button to make the baby they were holding smile. Another figure that was blue in glasses and a sweater came beside her and pushed a button that made the baby cry.

"Oh, great, Sadness." Cherry groaned.

"Nice to meet ya, Stick in the Mud!" Atticus smirked.

"RAWR!" Cherry jumped in the air and went to slam on top of him, only to get a lot of pain.

"Nice try." Atticus smirked.

"I am going to kill you!" Cherry glared.

"STOP FIGHTING!" a red figure roared at them and fire seemed to rise from the top of his head.

"Oh, great, Anger." Patch groaned.

"Who's the stick in the mud now?" Cherry smirked to Atticus.

"Don't wanna hear it." Atticus said.

Two other emotions came out who were purple and green known as Fear and Disgust.

"Disgust seems like a real diva." Patch smirked to Cherry and Atticus.

"Well, looks like I'm gonna have to keep an eye on my niece now..." Atticus sighed since Riley was his niece and they were in a different kind of adventure this time.

"Looks like it." Cherry said.

"This will be an interesting story to tell our children someday." Patch muttered.

"So, you must be Strength, Loyalty, and Creativity." Joy said to the three new 'emotions'.

"That's us." Atticus smiled.

"It's nice to meet you," Fear smiled nervously. "You won't hurt me, right?"

"No, we won't." Patch promised.

"You seem to be afraid of almost everything." Atticus said to Fear.

"Well, that's what I do," Fear replied. "I am Fear after all."

"True." Atticus nodded.

"He's so annoying." Anger complained about Fear.

"Hey, leave him alone!" Disgust glared. "You're the one who's a big bully!"

"Why are you being so defensive for Fear?" Cherry smirked at Disgust.

Disgust blinked and turned away, folding her arms. "Because!"

"Because why?" Cherry smirked.

"Just because." Disgust said.

Cherry still smirked.

"SHUT UP!" Disgust glared.

"Okay, okay." Cherry smirked.

"Focus, people, we have a lot to do!" Joy took charge.

"Joy's right!" Atticus added.

"Uh, I'm in charge, Strength..." Joy replied.

"Oh, um, right." Atticus said then.

"But I guess we can share." Joy said.

Atticus smiled to that.

"Oh, boy..." Sadness sighed. "I just hope this doesn't end badly."

"Don't worry, it won't." Patch assured Sadness.

"I hope so..." Sadness sighed as she seemed endlessly depressed.

And so, the eleven years started. They all watched Riley as she grew and they all did their jobs to make her react properly. And where her life seemed like it was perfect. Fear made sure that Riley would be safe. Disgust kept Riley safe as well, emotionally and socially. Anger made sure things would be fair for Riley. Cherry managed to make an imaginary friend for Riley and named him Bing Bong. Atticus kept Riley strong when times would get tough, and Patch made sure Riley stayed loyal to her friends and family. Joy of course kept Riley happy while she found Sadness to be sort of useless as she only made Riley sad.

"Bing Bong?" Atticus asked.

"Don't judge me." Cherry deadpanned about the imaginary friend she created for Riley.

"Interesting." Patch said.

Cherry groaned and rolled her eyes as she made the imaginary friend. "Curse my creativity..."

"It's great." Atticus said.

"I just thought, because Riley loves animals, why not?" Cherry shrugged nervously.

It was a successful eleven years so far, but one day... The emotions screamed as Riley's parents sold the house and they were going to move away.

"Should have seen this coming." Atticus said.

"This was not what I had in mind." Joy pouted.

"Well, maybe it'll get better." Patch said.

"Come on, Riley, it's time to go." Jessica called to her daughter.

Riley soon goes over to her parents.

"She looks so much like my mother." Atticus commented about how Riley appeared physically.

"She sure does." Patch said.

It was going to be a long ride for everybody as they were going to travel from Minnesota to San Francisco. Cherry was able to keep Riley busy with dreams while everyone else slept. And where Atticus and Joy would always find ways to keep Riley from being sad.
