Summary: Have you ever wondered where our emotions live? Well, maybe this story can answer that question. Follow Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear as they guide Noah in a journey to fix his relationship with the girl of his dreams. / AU. Based on the movie with the same title, but taking only the main concept.
No control
Noah was terribly nervous.
He had booked a table at the most expensive restaurant in town, and had taken his girlfriend to dinner there. And he was going to propose to her.
His friends had told him that he was crazy, that he should think better, and that he should just quit drugs or at least share them.
But Noah didn't back down, he had taken a decision and he would do what he was willing to do.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
In his mind, everything was going... explosively well.
"Today is the night, the big night! Come on, everybody, rejoice!"
Joy ran from side to side, bouncing and tumbling here and there. Was she excited? Much more than that, actually.
She went to Anger, and gave her a warm embrace, only to be shoved away by her, as she crossed her arms firmly.
That didn't discourage Joy, who ran to Disgust and gave her a warm hug, getting only a snort from her.
"I'm highly disgusted by displays of affection, of any kind" she snapped, rolling her eyes. "Back off."
Joy shrugged quietly, before approaching Fear... but he ran away to hide behind Anger.
"Come here, I won't hurt you! I'll just give you a hyper happiness hug!"
"Yes, y-yes, I believe you..." whispered Fear, still hidden. "And I-I'll keep on believing, f-from here..."
"All right!" said Joy, and turned around, not seeing the push that sent Fear to fly, courtesy of Anger
The happiest emotion in that mind then spotted Sadness, who was in the innermost corner, hugging himself.
"Hey, you!" she called, and he just looked up at her. "Rejoice!"
"No, thanks" he refuted, wiping an invisible tear. "She'll say no, I know it..."
"Oh, come on!"
Joy approached him hopping, and bent down to see him better, with a huge smile.
"She won't say no!" she assured, taking his face in her hands and trying to get a smile. "She loves us, she said it!"
"Yeah, but..."
"No 'buts'! This is the night, and I need you to be happy!"
"But..."
"What did I just said about the 'buts'?!"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Meanwhile, Noah watched carefully how Nirvana removed a piece of spinach from her teeth surreptitiously. He smiled slightly, knowing it was the perfect time.
"Well... surely you wonder why I spent some of my savings at this dinner, don't you?" he questioned, seeing her with a crooked little smile that hid his growing nervousness
Nirvana gave him a small smile, that actually looked like a grimace.
"That's right. And I appreciate this a lot, it has been great" she said, before lowering her view, somewhat embarrassed. "Actually... I need to tell you something very important."
Noah raised an eyebrow at that, but his smile didn't disappear. He nodded once.
"That's a casualty, I must also tell you something very important... but please, you go first."
She smiled a little, and cleared her throat loudly, blushing too much.
"Well... Noah, these months with you have been wonderful" she said, and didn't see the boy's hand under his coat to take the box with the ring. "But... I think we're moving too fast. Maybe we should, I don't know, take a break?"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"What?!"
Joy's shrill cry was deafening. The surprise had been too big for her.
On one side, Disgust grimaced and shrugged nonchalantly.
"Thank goodness. I never liked that girl."
"She s-said no! I was afraid t-this would happen, and it did...!" Fear exclaimed, running to and fro, terrified
"Why did we wasted our time with her?!" shouted Anger, with complete frustration. "I always knew this would happen, I always knew it!"
Meanwhile, Sadness stood up and approached them, dragging his feet as a defeatist gesture.
"I told you..." he muttered, barely looking up to see Joy, taking control. "She didn't even got to see the ring... she doesn't love us... she never did..."
Joy made a small grimace, before seeing a small sky blue sphere arrive... no, no, no.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Noah gradually felt his eyes wet with tears, and tried to contain them. He didn't want to cry, but he felt so miserable...
"B-But... why?" he questioned, with broken and almost inaudible voice. "I thought we were f-fine, I..."
"Noah, please, calm down" begged Nirvana, looking at him with full concern. "I... just want some space, this isn't a break-up..."
"I-I don't understand, really... what did I do wrong?"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"We're a disaster, a r-real disaster..."
"Sadness, please calm down!" pleaded Joy, taking the depressed emotion's shoulders
However, she couldn't get his watery eyes to look at her. Anger snorted, exasperated, and pushed them both aside to take control for once.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Why are you doing this?!" Noah snapped, pounding the table with his fist and attracting the attention of several diners around him
Nirvana blinked, confused by his change of attitude, but almost immediately she frowned slightly.
"Listen, I'm only asking for some time for myself" she muttered, gritting her own fists. "Less than a month, a month at most."
"Yeah, of course. They all say the same! And that month never ends!" he exclaimed, looking at her with narrowed eyes. "You know what? Get out of here!"
The girl opened her mouth, ready to shout something else, but she didn't. She just stood up, taking her purse, and snorted.
"We'll talk when you're calmer."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Anger, calm down" exclaimed Joy, unsuccessfully trying to embrace her
Sadness approached the newcomer memory, and took it. He watched the sky blue sphere with glazed eyes, but after a moment, it began to turn red slowly.
Anger came steadily, and snatched the sphere from his hands sharply, making it completely red.
"Perfect, another one" she growled, turning to Joy with an annoyed expression. "Very well done, congratulations."
Before Joy could reply, she turned around to take that memory away.
"Ugh. You disgust me more than usual" muttered Disgust before walking away too
Fear started to say something, but he was too scared to talk, so he just followed Disgust, shivering a little.
Joy didn't know what to say, and only turned to Sadness. He just took a deep breath, head down.
"If you need me, I'll be crying in the corner... please don't need me."
Sadness walked away slowly and wearily, ignoring the grimace of his peer.
Joy watched her friends silently, and then realized that Noah had left the restaurant in a rage.
And for the first time, she regretted one of her decisions.
Hi!
Yep, here's chapter two. I don't have much to say, just... REALLY, NIRVANA?! HOW COULD YOU?!
First of all, a question. With each chapter, I'll ask you guys a little question (mostly related to emotions), which you can respond or not. I leave it to your discretion.
And the question is: What is the happiest memory of your lives so far?
Mine... hasn't happened yet. I'm waiting patiently for it.
Okay, I'll answer your reviews.
Acosta Perez Jose Ramiro: Hey, thank you! I want to watch it too!
The Abysswalker: Well, thanks! Yeah, I guess you could see it coming.
Now, here's a really special answer. Why? Cause everyone can (and possibly must) read it to understand this story a little more. So... here goes nothing!
Umm: Wow, that was a long review. Thanks! I think you deserve a long answer as well, so here it is! By the way, I understood everything, perfectly.
Joy looking like Izzy: My first option was Owen, but I decided that Izzy would be better. Why? I wanted Joy to be a female character. Plus, Ella has another important role here, so just wait for it!
Anger looking like Eva: Thank you. I knew she was the perfect choice right from the beginning.
Sadness looking like Cody: Well, I chose Cody because he's one of my favorite characters, and as this is an Alternative Universe fic, Sadness only chose Cody's looks because he saw him really sad about Gwen's rejection (it's back on chapter 1!)
Disgust looking like Scarlett: I chose Scarlett cause she's one of my favorites, too. That's the reason. Also, as seen in Pahkitew Island, she has a really weak stomach. And let's accept it, she liked little to none of her competitors... so I guess I just thought it would fit.
Fear looking like Max: Yeah, you're right. I chose him cause, again, he's one of my favorite characters. Also, I chose him because Scax. Scax is my OTP. Scax will happen.
Noah: Maybe you're right, but this is an introduction. I didn't want to make it too short, but neither too long. So I couldn't fit in here the beginning of their relationship and all. Sorry about that, I guess.
Now, please keep in mind that I haven't watched this movie yet. I've only seen the trailers. This movie hasn't premiered yet. I'll watch it as soon as it premiers, of course.
Why am I writing this story, when I haven't watched the movie yet? Because I really enjoy writing it, and it helps me overcome my depression and anxiety, that's why.
Also, I ONLY took the title and main concept, that is, emotions living inside a character's mind. That's all I'm using here. I don't know how it works in the movie, cause I haven't watched it, as I just said.
By the way, Noah's emotions AREN'T the characters they look like. They are just emotions. Joy isn't Izzy, she only looks like her. And so on. As you may have noticed, I don't refer to Joy as "Izzy", or to Anger as "Eva". Cause they AREN'T those characters.
Izzy, Eva, Cody, Scarlett and Max will have a part on this story, AS HUMANS, like Noah. Am I being clear or this is confusing? I don't want this to sound too complicated. I'll even edit the summary to make it even clearer.
Anyway, that's a long enough answer and explanation. I hope everything is clearer now, and if not, just tell me. Thanks for your critique!
If you guys read it all, thank you! Now you'll understand this story a lot easier. If you guys just skipped the explanation... too bad for you!
Well, I guess that's all. Take care, you're loved.
Read you soon!
