Chapter 9
Dream Duty
"Alright, guys! Another great day has come to an end!" announced Joy cheerfully, as the screen went dark before she turned to Anger. "Anger, you're on Dream Duty!"
"Oh, come on! Why can't Disgust do it?" protested Anger madly.
"I already did that last time, ya blockbrain, and there's no way I'm doing that again." Disgust replied, with her hands on her hips.
Not only did Anger hated the gum commercial, but he hated doing Dream Duty because it was boring, they would sometimes play the same dreams over and over again and he wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep. He'd always end up falling asleep three hours later and then he gets very cranky the next day.
"If you also think that I'm gonna do Dream Duty tonight, forget it." said Fear, as he pointed out.
"Go away before I slap you silly!" threatened Anger, as his head started to steam.
Fear screamed as he quickly ran off, following Joy and Disgust. The brick was cursing under his breath as he pulled a chair up to the console.
"Anger, are you feeling okay?" asked Sadness gently, but with concern as she approached over to him.
"Yes, it's fine, Sadness. Just go to bed." he growled quietly, not looking at her.
"Okay, I'll see you in the morning." Sadness said solemnly.
She slowly walked upstairs and went into her bedroom. She climbed into bed, went under the covers and drifted off to sleep. Meanwhile, back in the main room, the screen revealed to be one of Rainbow Unicorn's dreams.
"Oh, great. This is already starting to become the worst Dream Duty ever." grumbled Anger unhappily, as he folded his stubby arms. "Stupid Joy forcing me to do this."
As Anger watched Rainbow Unicorn danced on the screen, she jumped into the air and soared into the blue sky with a huge smile on her face. She did a loop twice and continued flying like a bald eagle.
"She can't really fly; they're just using wires." the brick scoffed, before he shouted at the screen, "Not real!"
Normally his yelling would wake some of the Emotions up, but no one has heard him and so far, they were all fast asleep. The brick continued to watch to see if anything new or if the dream has turned into a nightmare. But nothing has happened and it was still the same, old, boring dreams. Anger leaned his head against his hand as he groaned in boredom. It was past midnight and the dreams were still playing like endlessly. Anger was still wide awake, watching them over and over again. He was so close to falling asleep.
"Will this never end?" moaned Anger, as he buried his stubby hands into his face.
Meanwhile, Sadness was tossing and turning in her sleep. She'd usually be having a nightmare, but she wasn't. As a matter of fact, Sadness was having some trouble sleeping, so without a choice, she woke up as she sat up and rubbed her eyes. Then, she jumped out of bed and walked downstairs to the main room where Anger was and looked at him, droopy eyed.
"Oh, Anger, if only there was something I can do for you." she said quietly, but sadly.
The blue Emotion dragged herself over to the kitchen and went straight to the cupboard. She took out two glass cups and took the milk out from the refrigerator before pouring it into each cup. Next, she heated one cup at a time in the microwave for twenty seconds and both of them were warm. Then, Sadness carefully took them over to the console and Anger noticed her.
"Kid, what are you doing up this late?" Anger asked calmly. "Shouldn't you be asleep already?"
"I'm sorry, Anger." sighed Sadness solemnly. "I was having a hard time sleeping and, I, uh, went to go get a drink of warm milk until I saw you."
"You were?" he said, with concern, as he rubbed his chin.
"Yeah, and to tell you the truth, I felt bad for you, so I thought it'd be nice if I made you some milk." Sadness confessed, as she gave him the glass.
"Gee, thanks, kid." replied Anger kindly, as he took a small sip.
Sadness looked at the screen and saw Rainbow Unicorn dancing in a field of flowers while drinking her milk, before she looked back at him.
"Can I, um, do Dream Duty with you?" the teardrop asked politely, but quietly.
The brick looked directly at her. No one has ever wanted to do Dream Duty with him before because he'd usually prefer to do it on his own. He got up and pulled another chair over to her.
"Sure you can, Sadness." Anger said gruffly.
"Thank you." she replied politely.
Sadness sat down next to him and continued to watch the dream. Anger glanced at her as a genuine smile appeared on his face. He never thought he'd do this, but Anger leaned in a little bit closer and kissed her on the cheek which made her face turn a little red.
"What was that for, Anger?" Sadness asked shyly, as she rubbed her cheek to where Anger had kissed her.
"It's because I love you?" Anger answered, grinning.
The teardrop giggled and she kissed him back on the cheek which was actually warm. His face was at the sudden act of affection and he was developing a new type of feeling. Love. Anger gently cupped her chubby face and stared into her beautiful eyes.
"Anger, your hands are so warm." stated Sadness in amazement. "Why is that?"
"Let me tell you something, kiddo. Whenever I get like that, I think about you because I'm in love with you." explained Anger romantically. "I want to be more than just your coworker or even your friend; I want to be your lover."
Sadness was shocked at those words he just said. Was this real or was she imagining this? Suddenly, she felt a small kiss on her lips and gently formed her own lips onto his and their faces went into a frenzy of pink. Anger stroked her hair and then he stopped the kiss.
"Think about it, kiddo. We can be happy together and we'll make the perfect couple." the brick said happily. "I love you and I'll do my very best to protect you."
"A-Anger, I'd really like that, but, what if you get angry and start to hurt me?" Sadness said with concern.
Anger shook his head and replied calmly, "Don't worry, kid. I promise that I will never, ever lay a single hand on you for as long as I live. Just because I get angry all the time, doesn't mean that I don't love you anymore. If you ever start to get nervous, thinking that I'll hurt you, then don't. Besides, I'm just gonna leave the rest of the beating to the beanpole."
Sadness smiled widely and she pulled him into a hug and he hugged her back. They didn't even realize that Joy, Disgust and Fear were watching the whole thing from upstairs.
"You think we should do something about this, Joy?" whispered Disgust curiously.
"It's better off that we leave them. Let them enjoy their alone time together." answered Joy softly.
"I hope they stay together forever." murmured Fear nervously.
"I'm sure they will, Fear." Joy said, trying to stay optimistic, as she put her arm around the raw nerve. "I'm sure they will."
The two Emotions stopped the hug and stared at each other.
"I, I love you, Anger." said Sadness lovingly.
"I love you too, kid." chuckled Anger proudly.
They shared another romantic kiss on the lips just as the dream finally ended. Maybe Dream Duty wasn't so boring after all and it was probably the best one just for Anger. He was also glad that he had someone to do Dream Duty with him and all he wanted was some company.
