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.
Not cool
He regretted how decision just as Nirvana left the café. He felt like running after her, stopping her, holding her...
... but he didn't. And he regretted that too.
However, although he had tried to reach Nirvana, she hadn't answered his calls and had striven to avoid him at all costs.
He understood, she felt hurt m. But he felt that way to.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Say it!"
"No."
"Say it, and we'll fix it!"
"No!"
A discussion between Joy and Anger had lasted for days, and still continued. Joy insisted that Anger was the one that had to take the first step to solve everything. And Anger simply refused flatly.
The other emotions preferred to stay out of that situation. That mind control was distributed between them whenever the situation dictated so .
And Joy's absence in the control hardly noticeable. Noah wasn't exactly a cheerful boy.
So why was Joy 'in charge'? Well, actually she wasn't. Everyone was in charge together. And although sometimes they preferred to agree with their decisions, most of the time they worked together.
During those days in which Nirvana avoided Noah, Joy had been in charge of monitoring his dreams.
Usually she just watched what the Dream Production had prepared for that night, but during those days, she had intervened. Instead of dreams, she allowed Noah to remember beautiful moments with her.
And she knew she was doing well, when Noah woke up with a small smile and his first memory of the day was exclusively joyful.
However, Anger didn't seem to understand reasons. She had played every argument she could find in Long Term Memory, to keep Noah from trying to talk to Nirvana.
And finally, with both emotions in a tug of war, Noah began trying to strike up a conversation, and ended hitting a wall with his fist (and suffering from severe pain).
"Anger, please!" exclaimed Joy, again, clasping her hands like she was praying. "I can't do it alone, we must be in harmony..."
"Nonsense!" muttered her companion, arms crossed and looking away. "That isn't necessary!"
"I know, but it would mean a lot!"
"You are so corny...!"
"Do it!"
"No!"
Sadness sighed heavily, tired and discouraged. He went to the controls, which at that time were being controlled by Fear. She realized that Noah feared losing the video game that he was playing.
When he saw him coming, Fear ran away with a sharp cry. Sadness sighed again and took control.
It was time to do something.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"I miss her a lot."
Those three simple words managed to capture Owen and Cody's attention, who sat on either side of Noah, and turned to him with impressed expressions.
"Did he say what I think he said or it just sounded like he said what I think he said?" questioned Cody, arching his eyebrows in a gesture of deep thought
Owen shrugged slightly and put a hand on Noah's shoulder with a small smile on his face.
"Buddy, did you...?"
"Yes, I said what you think I said" be muttered, dropping the console command to cross his arms. "I miss Nirvana, and I said it."
"Then call her" suggested Cody, shrugging his shoulders calmly. "You only gave yourselves some space, right?"
Noah was about to clarify the situation, but unconsciously Owen pressed his shoulder and leaned him back against the couch, to see Cody with a grimace.
"No, no, she wanted to get together but my buddy said no" he informed, clicking his tongue. "Right, buddy?"
Noah nodded slightly, trying not to complain about the pressure on his shoulder. Cody, meanwhile, gave him a look of utter disbelief.
"Really, man? But she's really hot!" he cried then, but when receiving strange glances in return, he laughed nervously. "And she's such a good person, too..."
Noah grunted and rubbed his hands over his face in a gesture of exasperation. He shook his head, still not looking up.
"And it is all gone now" he murmured, shrugging his shoulders slightly. "I suppose I should suck it up."
Owen sighed heavily, patting his friend's shoulder as a sign of support. Cody, meanwhile, cleared his throat loudly.
"So... is she available?" he asked, with cautious tone but excited expression. "You know, if someone wanted to make a move..."
Then he received an incredulous look from Owen, while Noah arched an eyebrow.
"Yes, Cody, she's available" he sputtered, his brow furrowed slightly. "If someone wanted to make a move, I wouldn't care."
"Cool..."
"Not cool, dude" Owen shook his head before turning to Noah. "Buddy, it's never too late... you can't just throw away all the good times you guys shared."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Oh, it's true!" exclaimed Joy, and then got one of those memories
They had gone to the beach in a fairly large group. At one point, Noah and Nirvana got in the water, and he even had found a sea snail!
Joy reproduced that memory in Noah's mind, as if it were a kind of film.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Yeah, remember when we went to the beach, and I found that sea snail? I think she even took a picture and put it in a frame!"
"Exactly! I bet she still has that picture on her bedside table..." ventured Owen, nudging his best friend with a half smile
Cody chuckled at that, shaking his head slightly. He put his hand on Noah's other shoulder, grimacing.
"I don't know, man. Do you remember what you said when Gwen rejected me?" he muttered, before lifting a finger as a sign of wisdom. "Sometimes it's better to let go. If it is for you, it would never go away."
"But she didn't go away" pointed Noah, rolling his eyes in exasperation. "She was there. And I walked away."
"And you return to her!" assured his best friend, hugging him affectionately. "I'll help you with that!"
"Me too" added Cody, and rolled her eyes when receiving weird looks again. "Yes, she's really hot, but you're hotter... I mean, 'cause you are my friend... I mean... meh, you got that one."
Noah watched in silence his friend' s strange embarrassment, then shook his head quickly, trying to clear his mind.
"All right, you got me" he muttered, acquiring a small cheerful smile. "I'll get it right."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Yay!"
Joy jumped, giving a blow to the controls that caused Noah to laugh. Disgust cleared her throat loudly.
"Uhm.. I think you're going overboard with your excitement" she sputtered, approaching the controls too. "Also, I didn't like Cody's attitude..."
Almost a second later, a small yellow and green sphere came, and stored with the others.
Sadness and Fear exchanged glances for a moment, but chose not to intervene. Anger, meanwhile, stayed away from the controls, carefully reading a newspaper to keep herself distracted, grumbling.
Joy moved away from the controls, leaving Disgust in place, and approached one of the mind's windows.
She spotted Nirvana Island, and noticed that she was in full swing. She gave a chuckle at that.
That island wouldn't collapse, and she would make sure of that.
Hi!
Not much to say today... only that it's really cold here (Uruguay)! Oh, and I already have planned this story completely.
Finally, I'll answer your reviews.
Acosta Perez Jose Ramiro: Hey, thanks! Well, maybe Anger has learnt her lesson...
Ali6132: Thank you! I'm glad you like this story too! Oh, there's no question... but I can ask you one if you want. Thanks! I really like Nirvana and the way she's easy to write. Thanks for reading and reviewing! Bye!
Sean the Artic Fox: Oh, don't hate her! She's good on the inside.
The Abysswalker: I know, right? Yeah, she isn't Eva... but that was a pretty bitchy move even for Anger anyway!
Okay, that's all for now. Take care, you're loved.
