"Why is Headquarters so hard to get inside?" Owen groaned. He and Damian have tried several attempts to get inside Headquarters. They tried the Train of Thought, but the train conductors wouldn't allow them inside. They tried the recall tubes, but they couldn't one anywhere! And there was no way that they could get inside on their own, since Headquarters was in the middle of the Memory Dump. But of course, Damian still had his never-quitting personality.
"Duh, this is where someone famous lives at," Damian explained. "So there are suspicious people out there. But there still has to be a way."
"Who are you, Mr. Positive?" Owen muttered.
"Shut up," Damian said with an annoyed look. "Anyway, I just figured out a plan. I think that we should try the Train of Thought again but instead, we do some hiding and sneaking."
Owen raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Damian smacked himself. "Dude, are you dumb?! Do you not know what hiding and sneaking means?!"
"I do know those words, you idiot!" Owen said loudly. "I'm just wondering how we're gonna hide and all that stuff."
"There are boxes, you know," Damian barked. "Do you not have any memory?!"
"I knew there are boxes, god dammit!" Owen shouted, finally losing his temper. "They're just too small for us to hide in them!"
"Dude, there are plenty of boxes for us to hide behind!" Damian yelled. "Ugh, you're such a handful! I should've never took us along with me!"
"You didn't take me," Owen said. "I wanted to go. I do think JC Jr's hot as well, you know."
"I know a whole lot about JC Jr way more than you do!" Damian blurted out, since he was pretty pissed off.
"Oh really?" Owen smirked. He crossed his arm. "What's JC Jr's favorite type of fashion?"
"What-?" Damian shouted. "How should I know what her fashion sense is?!"
"You said you knew a lot about her." The smirking was making Damian more pissed off than he is right now.
"I know nothing about fashion!" Damian roared. "But I still know a lot about her than you do!"
"Why don't you quiz me then?" Owen asked with a courageous look.
"Oh, I will, alright!" Damian said. He didn't actually know if he knew more about her than Owen did, but hey, you never know. "What's JC Jr's favorite animal?"
"Cats," Owen answered immediately, with a confident look. "Her favorite type is a Munchkin and her least favorite type is a Exotic Shorthair."
Damian actually had no idea that JC Jr had a favorite and least favorite type of cat, so he had no clue if Damian was even right or not. But of course, he wasn't gonna give up. He sighed.
"Alright, who's JC Jr's favorite male and female celebrity?" Damian asked, because he knew that one.
"She likes celebrities based on their looks, so she likes Kendall Jenner for the female and ZAC Efron for the male," Owen said like he was some teacher.
Damn, Damian said to himself. Damian did have a cowardly side, but he never wants to show it around Owen. He has always showed his brave personality and he always has been.
"Fine," Damian growled. "If you think you're so smart, why don't you ask me something?"
Owen sniggered. "Okay then." He paused. "What's JC Jr's worst phobia? I'm not talking about broccoli and all that stuff, I mean her worst fears."
Damian breathed heavily, because he actually had no idea what her worst phobias were. He had to make the best answer. What would be something that Disgust would have a worst fear of?
"Well..." Damian came up with his best guess. "She has a fear of flies and spiders."
"Wrong!" Owen laughed. "She has a phobia of Riley being rejected, turned down by her friends, and being alone. Guess who's the dumb one now?!"
Damian wanted to punch Owen right in the face. He has never made him this angry before. "I will knock the crap out of you," Damian hissed at him.
Owen snickered and gave Damian the finger, as he strolled off. "Good luck finding someone you know nothing about, loser," Owen called out, putting his index finger and thumb on his finger, doing the L is for Loser hand sign.
That was when he couldn't take it anymore. "FINE! I'LL BE MUCH HAPPIER FINDING HER ON MY OWN!" And he was actually serious.
...
Disgust has already being having a long day and it was only the afternoon. After all that has happened at the hospital, from Joy being a psycho again to Joy and Sadness losing their friendship, things have been getting way more out of hand. Joy thinks she's trying to make Disgust's life better, but all she's doing is making it way worse than it was with her old life...before her tragic death. Disgust sighed, trying not to think of that tragedy, and instead looked at the family portrait of her and the emotions, which, again, helped her with her anxiety. Disgust smiled at the photo. Happy memories, she said to herself.
She realized that Joy had the most happiest and beautiful smile on the picture. She didn't look like the crazy emotion that she is now, and things looked very calm and soothing. Who knew what would've happened if Joy and Anger started fighting each other when Disgust was a baby? But Disgust wished that this stuff wasn't happening right now. She wished that Joy could just stop with what she's doing and be all normal and calm around Disgust. She wants her to belike the other emotions, who are protective but not the biggest psychos on earth.
Disgust was distracted by the photo and didn't realize that Sadness was standing there patiently beside her. She had the same serene expression as Joy in the family photo. Disgust smiled at the blue emotion, which Sadness weakly smiled in return. To Disgust, Sadness is known as her "hero". She sacrificed her and Joy's friendship only for Disgust. Joy and Sadness weren't friends anymore, but Sadness didn't give any craps about it whatsoever.
"Hey, my hero," Disgust greeted, putting an arm around Sadness.
"Hi...Disgust," Sadness replied shyly. She sat down on Disgust's bed next to her and looked at the family photo. "If I had one wish, I would wish for us to live like this photo of us."
"I was thinking the same thing," Disgust sighed. "Why can't Joy just think about what she's doing?"
"Yeah," Sadness shrugged. "Every chat I've had with her, all she ever talked about was you and how precious you are and-"
"Precious?" Disgust said, feeling embarrassed. "What the actual hell? I'm not five anymore! I'm all grown up!"
Sadness had a guilty look, looking down with her sad expression.
"Oh...sorry," Disgust said softly. "I didn't really mean you. I was saying it like I was talking to Joy. But..." Disgust sighed again. "What else did Joy call me?"
"She called you beautiful, sunshine...um..." Sadness started blushing. "...Teddy bear..."
Disgust smacked herself. "Teddy bear?! Freaking teddy bear?!" Disgust couldn't help but sob, causing Sadness to hug her tightly. "Sadness, I think I know she's hiding something from us," Disgust cried.
"Sh..." Sadness said comfortingly. "What do you think she's hiding?"
"Sadness..." Disgust said looking down. "I think Joy wants to be my mom."
...
It was the evening, and as the beautiful sun set, Riley was eating her dinner, watching it happily. Things were calm with the Andersen's. Everyone was happy, they were chatting, and things were peachy. But Riley didn't know what was happening with the emotions. Things were the complete opposite for them.
Disgust was even more displeased with Joy. Calling her these baby names...that's extremely embarrassing. Especially since she's her co-worker, not her daughter. Disgust stayed as far away from Joy as possible, and Sadness was sweet enough to help her out with that. Joy was basically driving the console the whole dinner so Disgust and Sadness talked privately.
"Do you really think Joy wants to be your mom?" Sadness said quietly so no one can hear them. "What do you even mean by that anyway?"
"I don't know..." Disgust said honestly. "It just came in my head that Joy wants to treat me like I'm her daughter."
"I don't know about that..." Sadness explained. "You're her co-worker, so it's really weird to me. It's like she wanting to adopt you or something."
"It seems like it..." Disgust shrugged. "You never. It's either that or it's just her defensive self."
Disgust and Sadness stared at each other before giving each other a soft hug. And Disgust knew that Sadness had way better hugs than Joy did.
...
Damian was able to walk right in the train without being seen. He knew what he was doing, and he was definitely doing it without Owen. But he shared his idea, and he knew that Owen may actually try it, but he was already organizing the boxes so that he could hide behind them. But there was a problem. Because of how heavy those boxes were, he dropped one and spilled a whole bunch of facts and opinions, making a ton of noise. Damian cursed to himself and picked everything up quickly before someone sees him. He placed the box more carefully now and hid behind them. He was pretty lucky since there was a train conductor, checking to see what the noise was.
"These boxes weren't like that before," the train conductor said with contempt. Damian's heart started to beat, until the conductor shrugged and headed back to the front of the train. Damian breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly, the train started to move. He didn't know how long he was get to Headquarters, but he was filled with excitement.
The train stopped again, but it wasn't at Headquarters. This stop almost got Damian caught, because there was two Mind Workers grabbing boxes that Damian hid behind, which caused him to bundle himself up tightly. He was lucky that those Mind Workers were chatting.
The next stop was finally at Headquarters, which got Damian pumped up for it. He took a few deep breaths and when the Mind Workers were delivering everything, Damian rushed out of the train and entered Headquarters. He hid beside the Mind Manuals. This was the best luck that Damian has ever received because zero Mind Workers have saw him.
He was happy that he made it to Headquarters, and he was even more happy that he made it before Owen did.
But now all he had to do was get JC Jr's attention...
And he was gonna do it the hard way.
