A/N: *singing the Triple Dent Gum song to myself* Oh, we're back already? Well, where did we leave off at? Oh, wait a minute! Now I remember! We left off where Anger started caring about Sadness and now he and the Emotions are going out into the Mind World to find her and bring her back home. So, here's chapter 7 of "Sadness Spiral"! FYI, I did the best I could and I hope you guys like it.
Disclaimer: Sorry, guys. But "Inside Out" belongs to Disney and Pixar. Not me.
Chapter 7
Reunion Gone Wrong
Anger's P.O.V.
At last, I tumbled out into the Mind World and fell to the ground. I quickly pushed myself up and adjusted my tie. Finally, I saw Joy, Disgust and Fear arrive and they made a perfect landing on to the ground.
"Well, it's about time you showed up!" I said impatiently, as I rolled my eyes in annoyance. "Let's go find Sadness and get this over with!"
"Wait. Nobody leave yet." announced Joy, as she held her arms up in the air.
Of course we didn't move yet. I looked at Joy and she was holding four walkie talkies in her hands and the next thing I knew, she was passing each one to us.
"What's with the walkie talkies?" asked Disgust in a deadpan voice.
Joy cleared her throat and explained carefully, "These walkie talkies will help us stay in touch while we're looking for Sadness."
"You mean we're splitting up?" I asked, as my eyes widened.
"Yes, Anger. We're splitting up which means you're gonna go check on all of the personality islands." Joy answered to me.
"Got you covered." I said, as I nodded in agreement.
"Disgust, you go to Dream Productions." said Joy seriously, as she turned to Disgust.
"Aye, aye, captain." said Disgust, as she gave herself a salute.
"And Fear, you'll be going to Imagination Land." Joy replied, as she turned to Fear.
"No problem, Joy." he said.
"And I'm gonna go to Long Term Memory. Now remember, we have a whole hour to search for Sadness before Riley wakes up from her nap." the star announced, as she turned to us.
"Do you really think she might've fallen in the Memory Dump, Joy?" asked Fear worriedly.
"I don't think so, Fear. But let's not think about that right now." she replied to the raw nerve, before turning to us again. "Alright, let's split up and bring back our Sadness because she could be anywhere!"
"Yeah!" Disgust, Fear and I cheered in agreement.
So, we started running into our separate ways. The first island I went to was Goofball Island. Once I ran into the island, I began calling Sadness' name.
"Sadness! Sadness, where are you?" I called desperately. "It's me, Anger! Please come home!"
Silence only greeted me. I looked all around and I started to search the whole island.
End of Anger's P.O.V.
No P.O.V.
Meanwhile, Disgust ran into the entrance of Dream Productions and looked all around.
"Sadness! Sadness! Sad…" Disgust called, as she ran past by the mind workers and suddenly bumped into one.
The red mind worker fell backwards to the ground, but quickly stood up. He was not happy.
"Hey! Watch where you're going, lady!" the red mind worker complained, irritated.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" apologized Disgust quickly. "I'm looking for Sadness. Have you seen her?"
"Nope. Don't know who she is." the mind worker said flatly, as he walked away.
"But, but, but…" Disgust stammered, before she groaned in frustration. "She's gotta be around here somewhere."
Fear ran into the entrance of Imagination Land and looked all around as he panicked.
"Sadness!" called Fear worriedly. "Sadness, please come back! We need you!"
The raw nerve looked high and low and then he spotted French Fry Forest.
"Aha! Maybe she could be in there!" he cried.
He ran straight into French Fry Forest and called out, "Sadness! Sadness! Oh, come on, Sadness. Where are you? I'm getting worried!"
Suddenly, Fear saw something on the ground. He picked it up and it was a poster. He examined it until he finally figured it out and immediately recognized it.
"Wait a minute! Sadness must've taken our poster down and she doesn't want us to find her! So that's why the search party was called off!" he exclaimed. "Oh, but I still gotta find her!"
After searching on Goofball, Friendship and Hockey Island, Anger came into Honesty Island, still calling Sadness' name.
"Sadness! I just want to apologize for not being a good friend to you!" Anger called worriedly.
Once more, silence greeted him before he called out again, "Please forgive me!"
Joy ran down the shelves of Long Term Memory, looking for her lost friend.
"Sadness! Sadness!" Joy called. "Sadness, we're just trying to bring you back! Where are you?"
All of a sudden, she saw a mysterious figure at the shelves.
"Sadness!" she gasped excitedly.
The star ran straight to the mysterious figure which revealed to be Forgetter Paula.
"Hey, wait a minute. You're not Sadness!" said Joy, looking all agitated.
Forgetter Paula turned to Joy and responded, "No, I'm not. I'm Forgetter Paula. What are you doing here?"
"I don't have time to chat. I'm looking for Sadness." said Joy desperately.
"Oh, I just saw her less than ten minutes ago and she said she's heading towards the Memory Dump." the mind worker stated.
"What?!" shouted Joy, looking all shocked, as her eyes widened in horror.
"I recommend you stop her before she's, you know, forgotten forever." Forgetter Paula replied seriously.
"Yes, ma'am. Thanks for telling me." Joy nodded quickly.
She turned the walkie talkie on and spoke into it. "Guys! Guys, can you here me? I think I know where Sadness is!"
Sadness' P.O.V.
At last, I arrived at the edge of the cliff and I looked down over the Memory Dump. This was it. I wanted to throw myself into the dump because nobody, not even Riley needed me anymore.
I took a deep breath and sadly said, "I'm sorry, Riley."
I was about to jump when all of a sudden, out of the blue, I thought I heard someone calling my name.
"Sadness! Sadness!" the voice called from a distance.
I shrugged as I sighed sadly, "Just my imagination."
I prepared to jump again when I heard that voice again, but it was a little bit louder.
"Sadness!"
I turned around and I kind of recognized that voice, but I wasn't so sure.
"Joy?" I asked unsurely.
"Sadness! Sadness!" the familiar voice called loudly.
All of a sudden, my eyes widened. I knew that voice. It was Joy!
"Joy!" I called frantically, as I waved my arms up and down. "Joy!"
Then, Joy spotted me far up ahead and gasped eagerly, "Sadness!"
I couldn't believe my eyes! Joy found me, and for a moment, time seemed to have froze. I got so excited and relieved that I immediately dropped my bundle to the ground and began running towards Joy!
"Joy!" I shouted excitedly.
I ran into Joy's arms and hugged her tightly. (Believe me, I almost cried.) It felt so good to see my best friend again.
"Joy, it's you, it's you, it's you, it's you!" I cried happily, as I hugged my best friend. "Oh, I thought I'd never see you again!"
"Oh, Sadness!" exclaimed Joy relieved, as she hugged me tightly. "I was so worried sick about you! I was beginning to think you fell in the Memory Dump by now!"
Suddenly, this made me feel a little bit uncomfortable and I gently pulled away from the hug.
"What are you doing out here by yourself?" I asked, changing the subject. "Shouldn't you be in Headquarters taking care of Riley?"
Joy chuckled, "I'm not alone."
She took a step to the left, which revealed Fear. So Joy wasn't alone! I guess she needed someone to help her find me.
"Fear!" I exclaimed happily, as I gave him a tight hug.
"Whoa! Sadness! I'm very glad to see you again!" Fear laughed a little, as he hugged me back. "You should've seen how worried I was about you! I thought you were a goner!"
"I missed you so much, Fear." I said, smiling as I broke the hug apart from him. "I've been thinking about you ever since I left."
"I missed you too, Sadness." said Fear warmly. "Oh! Look who I brought along with me!"
Fear took a step to the left with Joy just as Disgust stepped up. It looked like she must've missed me too.
"Disgust!" I yelled eagerly, as I gave her a hug.
"Whoa, Sadness! Boy, have I missed you." Disgust exclaimed happily. "We were looking all over for you!"
"Guys, I missed you so much." I said happily, as I broke away from the hug. "I'm just happy to see you all again."
Disgust looked at Joy and Fear and then she looked back at me and said, "We all are, Sadness. Besides, I think there's somebody that wants to see you too."
She took a step to the left with Joy and Fear and Anger stepped up. Wait a minute! Anger was also looking for me! My body stiffened.
"Hi, Sadness." said Anger calmly. "Long time no see."
"A-Anger?" I said nervously.
My heart was pounding so fast, I couldn't move. I pictured myself back to Anger stomping on my glasses and me begging for him to stop in Headquarters before snapping myself back into reality.
"Sadness, are you okay?" he asked with concern.
I didn't respond. I felt like Anger still hated me and he was gonna yell at me again at any moment. Every instinct in my body told me to run, so I did. I picked up my bundle and ran off as fast as I could go.
"You're not breaking my glasses, Anger!" I yelled, as I ran off.
Fear was the first one to panic and screamed, "Oh-no! Sadness is running away from us! We gotta do something before we lose her again!"
"Follow that Emotion!" announced Joy.
In a flash, they took off running after me. They ran into the shelves of Long Term Memory and chased after me. There was absolutely no way I was gonna face Anger because of what he did to me from before.
"Kid, stop!" Anger called after me. "I just want to talk to you for one minute!"
"Go away, Anger!" I shouted, as I kept on running. "I don't want to see you again!"
"Sadness, please! You got it all wrong! It's not what you think, I swear!" cried Anger, as he kept on running after me.
"Oh, really?" I called back.
I grabbed some memory orbs and started throwing at my friends. This was the only way I was going to lose them.
"Aah! Look out!" screamed Fear.
But it was too late. They were tripping and falling all over the memory orbs. No matter how hard they tried to get up, they just kept stepping on them and falling over and over again. They watched helplessly in horror as I disappeared into Imagination Land.
"Kid!" called Anger desperately.
I dared myself not to look back as I kept on running. At first, I was happy to see all my friends again until Anger came up to me. Maybe I should've jumped into the Memory Dump instead. No, I couldn't do that because then I would be forgotten forever just like Bing Bong. Who knows where I'll be going to next?
End of Sadness' P.O.V.
A/N: Oh-no! I thought Sadness was gonna make up with Anger, but then she ran away from her friends again! Anyway, that's the end of chapter 7 and just so you guys know, there are four more chapters left until this story is finished. And I almost forgot! Did you know that I have a voting poll now?
