The next morning, Riley got up at 6:30 AM, ate cereal for breakfast, got a bath, put on her bat costume and got ready for school.
"Have a good day," Riley's dad said.
"Tell us how the party went," her mom said.
"I will," Riley replied and went out the door.
When Riley arrived at school, two of her friends, her dream boy, Jordan, and Susan, approached her. They were both wearing costumes for Halloween. Jordan was wearing a skeleton costume and Susan was wearing a witch costume.
"Hey, Jordan and Susan!" Riley greeted and embraced them.
In Riley's mind, her emotions were watching her point of view. However, as soon as Fear saw Jordan and Susan in their costumes, he ran away screaming.
"What a coward." Disgust remarked.
"So, guys," Riley said to her friends. "Are you excited about the party today this afternoon?"
"Yes," they both said.
"Me, too," Riley said. Then they went inside the school to their classes.
At Riley's class, the teacher announced to the students, "Since tomorrow is Halloween and we and the rest of the school are going to the gym this afternoon for the party at 1:30, we're going to watch "Hotel Transylvania"."
As the class watched the movie, Riley and some of the other students were reading and drawing Halloween stuff.
Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear were watching the movie while sitting on a couch. Joy was eating popcorn while watching it, but Fear wasn't enjoying one bit of it because he's afraid of everything to do with Halloween.
That afternoon, Riley and other students who are wearing costumes are in the gym for the party. There were a lot of Halloween foods to eat, and there was Halloween music playing.
As Riley, Jordan and Susan were chatting and enjoying the party, Riley was eating chocolate cupcakes with orange frosting and bat, ghost and spider toppings on top. Susan was eating jack-o-lantern cookies.
"So, guys," Riley said. "Do you plan on going trick-or-treating tomorrow?"
"I do," Jordan said.
"Me too," Susan said.
"That's great!" Riley exclaimed. "I'll ask my parents if we can go tomorrow."
A while later, an announcer announced, "Attention, everyone. We are now starting "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Please take your seats and enjoy the movie."
Upon hearing the announcement, Riley, Jordan and Susan sat beside each other and continued eating cupcakes and cookies in their seats as they watched the movie. They sang along to the song "This Is Halloween".
Riley's emotions, except Fear, were watching the film. Anger was humming along with the song.
"I wish Fear wasn't so afraid of Halloween." Sadness said.
"Well, Fear has always been afraid of Halloween ever since Riley lived in Minnesota." Joy replied. "At least he didn't make Riley fear Halloween."
After school ended, Riley, Jordan and Susan were on their way home.
"Hey, guys," Riley said to her friends. "When you go trick-or-treating tomorrow, say hi if you see me."
"We will," Jordan said.
"Good," Riley said. "Well, see you later." Then she headed home humming "This Is Halloween" all the way.
Her emotions were standing at the control console.
"Did she just say she's going trick-or-treating tomorrow?" Fear asked.
"That's what she said." Joy replied. "It should be fun."
"Oh, no! Tomorrow is Halloween, and that means there's going to be a lot of scary stuff tomorrow! I can't stand it!"
"Well, whatever you do, don't make Riley be afraid of Halloween."
"Oh, I won't! I'm going to be hiding from all those scary things tomorrow!"
When Riley got home, her parents greeted her. "So how was the party?" her mom asked.
"It was awesome!" Riley replied. "Oh, you should've been there! There was a lot of foods like cupcakes with orange frosting and Halloween toppings on top, and jack-o-lantern cookies! Everyone was wearing costumes! And I liked the movie!"
"That's good," her dad said.
"Anyway, can we go trick-or-treating tomorrow because Halloween is tomorrow?"
"We were planning on doing that, my vampire bat."
Riley laughed at her father's comment.
It is revealed that Joy is taking control of the console in Riley's mind that is making Riley laugh. "Can you believe this? She is going trick-or-treating tomorrow!"
The other emotions, except Fear, were excited.
