After breakfast, Disgust made her way over to the main lobby. She still had what Sadness and Fear told her fresh in her mind, as she took each step.

"Guess this mess has changed us more than we realized." Pondered Disgust. "Fear has turned into the boss's drone, believing all the lies he spews out at us. Sadness is running low on hope, but posses some to finish the persuit." The green emotion's last thought was interrupted by the shrill voice of a hyperactive emotion.

"Disgust, you're finally here!" Exclaimed Joy in delight.

Disgust was so consumed with her thoughts, she failed to notice her entrance to the foyer. She quickly composed herself, and buried her previous thoughts into the far corners of her mind.

"I got side tracked in the kitchen, but I'm here now." She stated to the other five emotions present. She took note of Fear's sneaky roll of the eyes and Sadness's knowing look. Disgust got closer as Joy began to speak.

"I was just about to say our roles for this morning, but there have been a change of plans." Said the pixie cut emotion.

"Define change." Disgust replied with a raised brow.

Joy's stance faltered a bit. "Well powers from above, would like to have a word with you. While the rest of us go pick up the intern at the station."

"Wait, what? Why? I didn't do anything wrong!" Remarked the green emotion.

"Now Disgust just because H.C.C wants to talk, doesn't mean your automatically in trouble." Joy utteted reassuringly.

Disgust puffed her lips, "Yeah, and Anger doesn't like putting cayenne powder on most of his foods."

Joy's face fell, as said emotion finally spoke, "Look here princess, the boss needs to talk to you and we need to go get the new recirut. So how's about doing us a solid and comply." Anger ordered.

"Sure, fine, whatever, just leave me here alone to deal with his monotone wrath. I'm sure he will be a blast to joke with." Disgust vocalized with a curt wave of her hand, as she made her way over to the console. She had her back towards the others as she herd footsteps getting farther and farther away.

"We should be back before Riley wakes up for school. If not, then don't let us hold you back." Joy called out from the entrance of headquarters. Disgust made no move to acknowledge her yellow emotion didn't wait for a response, as she left the building with the rest.

"Ugh why me, why now?" Disgust crossed her arms.

This is the first time she has been summoned by the boss by herself. Since he usually refers to them all when he needs something done, or just to Joy when he need a status update.

Disgust looked up from the console and saw what was playing on the screen. A wild dream was playing of Riley saving a prince from a dragon, while riding Rainbow Unicorn. Execpt Riley was a princess, with the girly attire and all. She was even using hockey equipment to slay the dragon.

Disgust chuckled under her breath. Much has changed over the last couple of years, but never the creativity of her dreams. Dream Productions has made sure of that.

Disgust's movie was soon cut short, as an incoming call blocked the motion picture. She pressed the answer button, as a gray screen popped up before her. A dark, flat line ran across the monitor. Disgust straightened herself out as it spoke.

"Greetings Disgust." The flat line moved in sync with each word.

"Hello Hypothalamus, what may I do for you today?" The green emotion forced out a pleasant tone with that question.

"It has come to my attention that you have not had an intern shadow you in quite some time." The super computer observed. Disgust's spine shivered.

"Fear and Anger are usually the ones who volunteer to do that task. I-It was never necessary for me t-," She was interrupted.

"Even so, this is a group effort Disgust. There is no excuse as to why you have not shared the responsibility of training the potential permanent coworkers, as of late." His voice boomed across the room.

Disgust had no proper way to respond to that. Not ready to dish out the real reason why she hasn't done her share with the interns to her superior, she just kept silent.

H.C.C continued, "This ends right here, right now..." Disgust bit her lip. She hoped this wasn't going, where she thinks it was going.

"The new intern should arrive here shortly with the others. I am placing you in charge of them, to make up for your lack of duty." He declared.

Disgust had half a mind to defend her actions, and say why having her take care of a new trainee was a bad idea. No matter how convoluted it may end up sounding, she could not put herself through it all again.

"Do I make myself clear?" The emotionless voice asked.

Disgust clenched her fists as she replied, "Yes Sir."

Hey, she only had half a mind to back talk the boss. She may have a mouth on her, but she wasn't stupid. She knew H.C.C's word was final and argument otherwise can guarantee punishment.

"Excellent! Just to make sure you don't skip out on your role, I will expect full performance logs of this intern recorded weekly." Hypothalamus expressed.

"Yeah, if they even last that long..." Disgust muttered.

"What was that?" The super computer asked earnestly.

"Nothing. Anything else required of me?" Disgust quickly responded.

The monitor flickered for a moment before the line moved once more, "No, I suppose not. Carry on then."

Disgust reached out to end the call before H.C.C spoke out, "Oh, and Disgust..." The green emotion glanced up from the button.

"Make an actual effort this time around, eh? Just tearing these interns appart will not get the results you want. Once you give them a chance to shine, they just might surprise you." It was then that the gray screen disappeared, leaving Riley's dream playing once more.

Disgust's arm fell back to her side. She then stared blankly at the screen. Disgust's thoughts on what her superior told her, as the only source of company.

That's been happening to her a lot lately.
