After hours of listening to teachers teaching, pencils writing on papers, and sitting on butt-hurting desks, Riley and the other students were heading for lunch.
"About time! That lecture was so dumb, yo!" Delight laughed, adjusting her hat.
"Yeah! School should make things more fun!" 'Joy' agreed, giving her green friend a high-five.
"Guys.." Fear sighed, bowing his head. He needed to find a way to fix this! He was sure things won't go any better at lunch. He turned his head to 'Sadness', who was in the real Sadness' favorite corner. Suddenly he got an idea. "Uh...Jo- I mean, uh, Sadness? Do any of the Mind Manuel's say anything about...emotions switching purposes? Or something along those lines?"
'Sadness' raised an eyebrow. "I'm not sure...They probably won't...but I can look..." She grabbed a few of the Manuel's and began skimming through the pages. "Emotions...purposes..." she muttered.
Fear knew that this would take a while, considering that there were a lot of Manuel's to look through, as the Manuel's have a lot of pages with tiny words. He continued to wait patiently. "Have you found anything?" he asked after a little while.
"Well..." 'Sadness' said, continuing to read. "It doesn't say anything about emotions switching purposes...though it does say that things can happen to the emotions..and that it can be caused by something or someone in the mind capable of doing such things."
"So.." Fear wondered, with a grin. "Then someone in here must've done this to you guys!" His smile vanished. "Question is, who?"
'Sadness' seemed perplexed, after hearing Fear mention about someone doing something to her and the others. "I'm not sure.." She paused. "Well...even if it doesn't make sense to me, Fear...good luck findign out your plans, I guess..." A little smile appeared on her face.
"Oh...thanks, Sadness," Fear replied, giving her a smile back, wishing that he can do those big smiles that he does to the real Joy.
...
"Aye, let's eat that gum off the floor!" Delight cried at the console. Fear whipped around with a gasp.
"NO!" he screamed, rushing over to stop the green one, as Riley attempted to grab a piece of gum behind a locker. Before she could, someone interrupted them.
"Riley Andersen," she said- no, scratch that, growled from behind Riley. She could hear stomping approaching her and Fear squeaked, pressing a button, making Riley apprehensively turn around. It was Tessa, like Riley had expected, with a face of rage and clenched fists.
"Uh..." Riley began, biting her lip. Tessa was quite a bit taller than Riley after all. Fear shivered.
"I knew it was you!" Tessa screamed. "You were the one that got me in trouble! YOU THREW THAT PAPER!" Her own Anger was quite literally exploding.
"Dude, how'd she find out?" Delight asked, crossing her arms. "No one even saw us."
"Maybe someone dobbed us in without us knowing?" 'Joy' said, shrugging like she could careless about what's going on right now.
"This is awful...we're in trouble..." 'Sadness' sighed from the back, sniffling into her pillow.
"This wouldn't have happened if..." Fear bowed his head again, realizing once again how important the originals were. He previously thought that it was just him and Joy that were mostly important, and if it ever happened, Riley would be fine without the others. Now he knew he was wrong. Very wrong.
"Prepare to get beat up!" Tessa roared, approaching the smaller girl.
"Ah," Calm said, stepping towards the console. "We shall try to reason with the enemy first." He pressed a button on the console, turning the panel into the familiar red that Fear knew, though instead of getting angry...
"Peace and calm, Tessa," Riley spoke in a soothing voice. "We don't have to fight."
"What are you, a pacifist?" Tessa growled. "You got me in trouble! My friend saw you but she couldn't mention you because you were mean enough to blame it all on me immediately! I'm sorry, but that doesn't fly!" She stomped closer to Riley, growling a little louder, as Calm was still at the console. Fear gulped.
"Now Tessa," Riley continued with this calm, relaxed tone. "There is no reason why you need to beat me up-"
"NO REASON?!" Tessa screamed. "You deserve to get beat up since you are horrible enough to get me in trouble for no reason!"
With all the screaming and shouting that was coming out of Tessa's mouth, Riley was still feeling serene. "Let's just forget about it and be calm," she said.
Tessa didn't look any calmer. "SHUT UP! You were just trying to make me look bad at school and torture me for no reason! You're just lucky that Mrs. Wilson likes you!"
Riley took a deep breath. "Tessa, take a few deep breaths. Peace and calm."
"She shall begin to calm," Calm said peacefully, the console still red. Fear didn't want to look.
"OH I'LL TAKE A FEW DEEP BREATHS, ALRIGHT!" Tessa yelled, raising her fist.
"Please, be peaceful," Riley begged. Tessa, of course, ignored her and punched Riley straight in the stomach. The pre-teen girl feel to the ground, clutching her stomach, suddenly feeling queasy. Something that she ate didn't agree with her.
"Uhh, dudes? Why do we feel sick?" Delight asked, raising an eyebrow.
"THE CHIPS!" Fear cried, panicking. "We shouldn't have eaten them!"
Riley, before Tessa could do anything else, barfed all over the school floor, her eyes getting dizzy.
"EWW!" Tessa cried, leaping away and cringing. Fear gasped. Riley had just thrown up in front of the school bully...as well as being punched by her...he couldn't imagine what Anger and Disgust would do if they were here.
"Uh..." Riley groaned dizzily. "Could you...call the clinic?"
"Wha...?" Tessa paused, becoming vengeful. She knew that she meant to punch her, but not too hard that it made her become sick. She knew that she couldn't leave Riley like this, after she had made Riley feel like this. She sighed. "Fine," she said, rushing off. "But you owe me for this, Andersen!"
The clinic soon arrived and helped Riley to her feet. They took her to the clinic where she could lay down on the bed.
"We're gonna call your parents, sweetie, okay?" the nurse assured to the sick Riley.
"Okay.." Riley breathed, rolling to her side.
"Oh...now we're sick..." 'Sadness' sniffled, peeping up from her corner.
"Ugh, why did we have to be so darn peaceful? Thanks, Calm," Delight grumbled, crossing her arms. The red emotion strummed his ukulele.
"I was only trying to make peace," he said calmly. "And should I mention you with the fact that you had Riley eat those chips?"
Delight groaned. "Just shut up," she mumbled, glaring at him.
"Well, at least we get to leave school early!" 'Joy' cried with a smile.
"This is getting worse!" Fear muttered to himself. "I need to stop this! No, I need to figure out whomever did this!" But then he got worried. How was he supposed to know who that 'whomever' was?
"Um...Fear..?" It was 'Sadness' once again. The real Joy was still reading Mind Manuel's. "Well...I think I may have an idea of...who you're looking for.."
"Really?" Fear cried. He was glad that one emotion was willing to help him!
"Yeah.." 'Sadness' said. "I..I don't think it could've been a Mind Worker..because they can't... 'switch our purposes', as you say. I think it was someone else...someone bad.."
"Someone bad.." Fear said thoughtfully. "Where are the bad ones?" He gasped. "The Subconscious.."
"Uh..yes.." 'Sadness' agreed, though she looked concerned. "But don't go in there! It's too dangerous.." Fear had to definitely agree with her on that. It was rather dangerous. Plus, he didn't know who exactly placed this curse on his co-workers. But he knew he had to find out.
"Mom's here to get us," Delight spoke up from the console. Riley;s mother, Jill, rushed inside the clinic.
"Riley!" she exclaimed with shock.
"Hey momma!" Riley cried, making a peace sign, before she flopped back onto her bed.
"I know what's gonna happen.." Sadness sighed. "She's disappointed in us and we're gonna get in trouble.." She rolled on her back and mumbled, "Thanks to that person who cursed us.."
