Fear ran out screaming from the mansion, all the way down the hill and into town.
Rachel, Sasha and the other remaining emotions ran outside to follow him, but the emotions stood still.
"Whoa!" Joy's wide blue eyes took in the glorious sunshine.
"So this is what it's like outside Riley's head..." Sadness said, amazed at the beautiful scenery. She actually smiled a little!
"It's beautiful." Joy said with wonder.
"And so much room!" Disgust said. There was never so much space inside Riley's head.
"Guys! Fear, remember?!" Rachel said.
"AFTER HIM!" Anger shouted. He and the emotions chased after Fear. Rachel and Sasha followed them.
Fear kept running all through the town, startling the citizens as he ran passed them in blind panic.
The girls and the emotions tried their best at chasing him. "Man! That Fear is fast!" Rachel panted.
"Of course he is! All cowards like him are fast!" Anger said. "I say we just forget him!"
"NO!" Joy said. "Riley needs Fear to keep her safe! Without Fear, how will Riley know right from wrong?!"
"Joy's right! We need Fear!" Sadness said.
"Well, we better hurry because he's heading straight for Undertown!" Sasha said.
"Under-where?!" Disgust said.
"It's a town full of aliens! He's sure to go crazy in there!" Rachel said.
Still in a scared frenzy, Fear kept running and running until he bumped into some he really shouldn't have bumped into.
A clawed metal hand grabbed Fear by the throat. He was brought up to the face of Sixsix. He said something in his foreign alien language, it was most likely an angry threat.
"I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!" Fear screamed. He grabbed the alien's wrist and at least tried to free himself.
But something strange happened.
The moment Fear placed his hand Sixsix's wrist, a purple glow came off his touch. The alien gasped and jumped back with a scream.
Fear took the opportunity to run away. And fast.
"FEAR!" Joy screamed as everyone came into Undertown. "Whoa..."
The emotions saw all sorts of aliens waling about the subterranean town.
"Look at all these freaks!" Disgust said in a repulsed tone.
"That's not a very nice thing to say!" Sasha said to the green emotion.
"Come on! We've gotta get Fear back!" Anger said. He was the first to charge through the town.
"Anger! Wait!" Rachel said.
"OUTTA MY WAY!" Anger barked, pushing and shoving through people.
As he touched the people, a red glow came off them and the citizens became hostile.
"HEY! Watch it!" an elderly alien snapped.
"Who pushed me?! They are so dead!"
One alien was so angry, he punched the person he was talking to right in the face.
Rachel gaped at the scene. "What the?!"
"I think Anger did something bad..." Sasha said, hiding behind Rachel again.
Disgust would say something, but she was too grossed out by this city. "Ugh, this place smells like a nightmare."
"Tentacles! Get your tentacles here!" the rabbit-like alien announced, holding up his tentacles on a stick. He held one in front of Disgust. "Tentacle, Miss?"
Disgust's eyes bulged out, she felt her stomach lurch. She backed away and bumped into someone, accidentally placing her hand on an eating pedestrian and a green glow came off him.
The alien chewing on his tentacle suddenly spit it out. "Disgusting!"
Disgust pushed aside other tentacle-eating patrons in her attempt to escape. They all began to gag and barf out their tentacles.
Rachel, Sasha, Joy and Sadness all watched in shock.
"It looks like..." Rachel began to deduce. "if you emotions touch someone, then the person you touch begins to act out that emotion!"
"No wonder everyone's been acting all crazy!" Sasha said.
The angry rabbit vendor stomped over to Disgust. "Hey, lady! You're ruining my business! Get out or I'll knock you out!" He revved his fist up and was about to hit the emotion.
"Quick, Joy! Touch him!" Rachel said.
"On it!" Joy ran over to the tentacle vendor and touched him. A yellow glow came off and the vendor's fist was uncurled. He began to smile. "But there's really no harm done." he said sweetly. "Let's just forgive and forget, huh?"
"Agreed!" Joy said as she grabbed Disgust and ran off.
"We have got to find Fear and get out of this asylum!" Disgust said frantically, holding in her lunch.
"We can cover more ground if we split up!" Rachel said. "Search all around and meet back here!"
And everyone moved out, looking all around for Fear. Sadness looked in The Black Hole, a dangerous local bar.
Sadness poked her head inside. "Fear?"
Instead, several savage looking outlaws turned their heads to the small, blue emotion.
Vulkanus, one of the patrons, approached Sadness menacingly. "Who invited the talking gumdrop?"
Sadness felt fear herself as the thugs surrounded her.
Meanwhile, Rachel was searching an alleyway. There, she spotted Fear, curled up in the corner in a quivering heap.
"Fear?" Rachel said softly. Fear just quivered.
Rachel really bad for Fear, because seeing him reminded her of herself. "Listen, Fear. I now you're scared. I'm scared too. In fact, I get scared easily. But we have to learn to face our fears."
Fear was still curled up, scared out of his mind.
Rachel knelt down beside him. "Fear, you've got to be brave so we can get you back to Riley. Without you, how will Riley be safe?"
Fear knew that the human was right. "I know...but..." He was still scared.
That's when it hit Rachel. "Y'know, I know the best way to cure what you have."
Fear looked at Rachel in a worrisome way. "What?!"
"Here." Rachel picked up Fear by his underarms and began wiggling her fingers into them.
Fear let out a squeak and started to giggle. "Hehehehehehe! No! No tickling!"
"Tickle, tickle, tickle!" Rachel said as she worked down to his sides.
"Ehehehe! OHOHOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Fear squirmed and laughed as Sasha tickled him.
"Kitchy, kitchy, koo!" Rachel said, happy her tickle tactic was working.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OKAY! OKAY! I'M NOT SCARED ANYMORE! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Okay." Rachel seized her tickling. "Better?"
"Yeah," Fear breathed out. "Except I was worried I would laugh to death!" he chuckled, rather nervously. He looked at Rachel and smiled. "I gotta say, you'd make a good Joy."
Rachel just bashfully brushed it off. "Nah, I'm just happy being me. Now, let's get back to the others."
Back at Undertown, Sasha was searching for Fear. She heard some sort of racket around a corner.
Hoping it was Fear, Sasha went around and definitely saw an emotion, but it wasn't Fear.
More of Undertown's citizens were fighting and arguing. All because of of Anger.
"Move!" Anger shoved aside more people, they immediately began laying out at each other.
Seeing this madness, Sasha had to put a stop to it.
"Anger!"
Anger snapped towards Sasha like he was about to strike her. "WHAT?!"
Sasha flinched, but she had to stand her ground. "You've got to stop doing this! You're making everyone angry and brutally beating each other up!"
"Well, they shouldn't be standing in my way when Fear is missing!" Anger growled.
"Hey, you!" Pakmar foolishly marched over to Anger. "Pakmar knows you! You caused customers in Pakmar's tea shop to go crazy and riot! Now shop is a mess!"
"Yeah? How's that my problem?!" snapped Anger. "That place was a dump anyway! Your business was ruined before I got there!"
"Anger!" Sasha said in a way that sounded desperate.
"Pakmar demands you apologize!" the angry little alien said, pointing madly at Anger.
Sasha saw Anger's head starting to steam, like it was about to catch fire.
"BUTT OUT, YA LITTLE FREAK!" Anger grabbed Pakmar by the throat and started shaking him.
"ANGER! STOP!" Sasha yelled. "Aren't you forgetting something?!"
"Yeah! How I shouldn't be strangling Fear because it's his fault we're even in this dump town?!"
"What about Riley?!"
Anger stopped. He dropped Pakmar and the alien ran away screaming.
Sasha knelt down in front of him. "Listen, Anger. Riley is in a coma. And she's gonna stay like that unless we get all of you emotions back to the mansion. And that's not going to happen if you keep fighting people like this!"
Anger could sense the sorrow in Sasha's voice. He could tell that her emotions were running high.
"Anger, you want things to be fair for Riley, right? Do you think it's fair that she's in a coma and here you are getting mad and causing riots?!"
Finally, Anger calmed down. "No, it's not fair."
"Then we both agree it would be best if we just go find the others." said Sasha. "As long as you remain calm and no physical contact!"
Anger nodded. "Alright. Let's go."
Sasha and Anger ventured to the exit to Undertown, where they spotted Joy with Disgust.
"Any luck on Fear?" Anger asked.
"Well, we were going to look for Fear," Joy said. "but apparently, Disgust is too grossed out to even explore this place. So someone had to keep an eye on her so she won't upset the aliens here again."
"Have you seen this place?!" Disgust protested. "You can't blame me!"
"Hey, guys!"
Everyone looked and saw Rachel and Fear.
"Fear! You're alright!" Joy cried. She ran over and gave Fear a big hug. "Group hug, everyone!" Joy grabbed everybody in one big group hug.
Rachel and Sasha were enjoying it, but the other emotions were too used to Joy's hugs.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's get going!" Rachel said.
Everyone was about to leave Undertown until...
"Wait a minute..." Joy froze, still as a statue.
The others froze as well. They looked at each other and realized something was missing.
And then it hit them.
"SADNESS!"
