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.

Acting out of anger

At seven-thirty, Noah went to that downtown café with tired but determined steps. He feared that this was the definitive end of their relationship, but also hoped it wasn't.

Upon arrival, he chose the same table where they used to drink coffee together, next to a huge window. They used to go there at night, order cappuccinos and chocolate chip cookies, to spend time chatting and laughing at the people they saw out the window.

Noah could remember perfectly. And as he settled into his seat, he smiled.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

And that memory had come to his mind at the right time, through the intervention of Joy.

"Who is a beautiful memory?" she crooned, taking the yellow sphere to return it to its place, pretending that she tickled it. "It's you, it's you!"

"You know it won't respond, don't you?" questioned Disgust, arching an eyebrow at her display of affection

"And you also know that we came here for nothing, right?" said Anger, arms crossed and giving her a squinting look

Joy shook her head, still smiling greatly when storing that memory again. She gave a couple of hops, approaching her peers.

"We came to solve everything!" she assured, hugging affectionately both of them by their shoulders. "This night is the night!"

"I thought the other night was the night..." whispered Sadness, lying on the ground and with the same defeatist expression he always had

"Well, this is the new night, better than the other one!" exclaimed the happiest emotion, falling on the floor beside him with a chuckle. "Believe me, I know what I'm saying!"

From somewhere in that mind, a shrill, trembling voice spoke.

"You knew what you said the other n-night...!"

Joy shrugged quietly, tumbling to stand up again quickly.

"Trust me, guys! We've got this in the bag!"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

A few minutes later, Nirvana came to the café. She automatically approached the table he had chosen, knowing that he would be there.

"Hey" she greeted with a small smile on her face as she sat across from him. "You're here."

"No way, really?" he muttered, trying to smile back with effort, although he couldn't. "How are you?"

"Filled with regret."

Noah made a small unreadable grimace at that, and was about to speak, until the waitress arrived with her notebook and gum bubbles.

"Good evening, what I can do for you?" she muttered, with a look of complete disinterest, while popping a new bubble with her teeth

"Two cappuccinos and chocolate chip cookies, please."

Noah couldn't help but smile a little at that. The fact that Nirvana chose for both of them also brought good memories to him, oddly enough.

The waitress nodded once while writing, before pulling away at a leisurely pace. Nirvana laughed a little.

"You remember that time when she choked on her own gum?" she questioned, looking at him with a small mischievous smile

He gave an honest laugh at that, because he could remember clearly. The waitress was lucky someone had deigned to help her, or she wouldn't be there at the time.

But it was funny to them, and Noah remembered that he had to suppress his laughter with difficulty.

"Of course I remember" he said, shrugging slightly, before getting a thoughtful expression. "What brings us here tonight? We'll wait for her to choke again?"

Nirvana laughed a little at that, almost nervously, and shook her head. She sighed.

"Noah... I'm really sorry about what happened. Really" she said, lowering her eyes to her hands on the table. "I've been thinking, and... I don't need a break. I need you."

Noah's cheeks blushed furiously at her words, and he looked away, embarrassed. He watched the night scenery out the window, thinking.

And maybe he stayed that way for several minutes, because Nirvana had to clear her throat to get his attention again. He jumped a little, and he turned toward her, to see that their order was already on their table.

Nirvana smiled a little, gently, and with a touch of nervousness.

"So what do you say?"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Yes, I say yes!"

Joy's exclamation was immediate, and she was about to make Noah nod at that question.

However, Anger stopped her and and pushed her away taking her place.

"No!" she shouted in a warning tone. "Wait a minute! Aren't we supposed to agree?!"

"But we agree!" assured Joy with a smile, before turning back to her companions. "Right, guys?"

In response, she received only stony silence, while they exchanged glances full of indecision.

Fear shivered slightly, and quickly shook his head as tacit refusal to her question.

"Well no. I disagree" assured Disgust, with her hands on her hips as she pursed her lips. "I insist that we deserve something better."

Joy looked at both with a little discouraged grin, though her expression brightened a little at the sight of Sadness.

"Sadness... you said you'd trust me" she recalled, with a tiny smile on her lips. "You trust me?"

Sadness looked back with dismay, before turning to the rank of sky blue spheres he had received during the past two weeks. He swallowed, and turned back to Joy, shaking his head almost imperceptibly.

"I'm sorry..." he whispered, before looking away

"Excelent democracy exercise!" said Anger, ignoring Joy's hurt expression, and then took control. "Don't worry, I'll do the honors."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"No."

That one word seemed to take a few minutes to reach Nirvana, who blinked repeatedly when she heard it, confused.

"Excuse me...?"

"I say no" Noah repeated, with an almost indifferent expression. "I think you were right, we need a break. A break-up."

She watched him in silence for a moment that seemed eternal, before gulping loudly, nodding slowly.

"Well, I definitely wasn't expecting that answer" she whispered, and her voice broke slightly as she spoke. "I... I'm really sorry."

"Me too. But what's done is done" Noah muttered, turning his gaze back to the nocturnal landscape that the window offered. "Now, we just wait. You are free, and me too."

Nirvana continued nodding, her breathing began to quicken and her eyes watered, but Noah couldn't tell.

"At least... are we friends?" she muttered, shivering a bit in place

"Yeah, I guess so."

He turned back to her in time to see her place a few dollars on the table, standing up. She smiled, though it was a fake smile, courtesy only.

"Okay. See you later."

She said nothing more, just walked away from that table quickly, rubbing one eye with her hand.

Noah thought he heard a sob, but maybe it was just his imagination.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Done" muttered Anger with a smirk, crossing her arms proudly

Silence returned to take over that mind, which had gone blank. They stayed that way for a few moments, no one said a word.

Suddenly, everyone could see a new memory arrive. And it was sky blue. Sadness came to it, and took it, with a mournful sigh.

Disgust and Fear turned to Anger, with looks of disapproval and undesision. Anger, meanwhile, began to lose that feeling of pride that had moments ago she felt.

Joy didn't say a word. She didn't exclaim anything nor tried to raise the spirits.

She just approached one of the windows that mind had, and watched. One of Noah's Personality Islands. The one retaining all his memories and knowledge of Nirvana, and their relationship.

She kept looking at it, longingly. It was still standing. But she wasn't sure how long it would take for it to collapse.

Hi!

"Inside Out" is so wonderful! If you haven't watched it yet, go watch it now!

Really, it was beautiful. But I won't give any spoilers, so you can enjoy it yourselves.
