It's time to find out right now!

Chapter 10

Riley and Jordan Make Up

No P.O.V.

When the five Emotions finally arrived back in Headquarters, Sadness looked all around with a huge smile on her face.

"Oh, it's so good to be back home again! I missed Headquarters so much!" she said excitedly, before she looked at her coworkers and back into her sad, normal voice. "So, did anything happen while I was gone?"

Joy, Anger, Disgust and Fear looked at each other before they looked back at Sadness.

"Well, it's a long story, but we'll tell you anyway." Joy said, before she took a deep breath. "It started off when we went to go see Jordan yesterday. Everything was going smoothly until…"

"Until what?" asked Sadness.

"Until we were supposed to go to Jordan's aunt's birthday last week and forgot all about it." finished Anger.

"And the worst part was that Riley got into a fight with Jordan and we hurt his feelings!" Fear added seriously.

"Wow. I'm pretty sure that would've made me cry if only I was here for it." replied Sadness sadly, as she shook her head. "I also think that it might be a little too late for Riley to apologize."

Joy walked over to Sadness as she placed her hand on her shoulder and encouraged gently, "Sadness, it's never too late to apologize. Now all you gotta do is wake Riley up from her nap and make her text Jordan."

"Oh, I don't know about this, Joy." mumbled Sadness unsurely.

She suddenly saw Anger, Disgust and Fear on their knees, begging urgently.

"Please do it for Friendship Island." begged Disgust.

"We're counting on you, kid." insisted Anger.

"You can do it, Sadness." urged Fear.

The teardrop stared at everyone for a moment and nodded, "Okay. I'll do it."

She walked over to the new, upgraded console, gripped onto the light bulb and ejected it. The Emotions watched as the monitor was turned on.

Inside Riley's bedroom, Riley sat up on her bed as she yawned and stretched. She spotted her cell phone on her nightstand and immediately began texting Jordan.

Hey, I'm sorry about yesterday. Are you still going to the carnival?

After she sent the response, she looked at her alarm clock and it was almost 4:00p.m. Riley reached under her bed and pulled her backpack out, took some money out from her piggy bank and placed it in her wallet along with her cell phone. Once Riley put her backpack on, she walked out of her bedroom and down into the kitchen where Bill and Jill were washing the dishes.

"Oh, Riley." Jill said, as she noticed Riley entering the kitchen. "Are you all ready to go?"

Riley suddenly had a sad look on her face. She looked up at her mother and asked, "Mom, can we talk for a minute?"

Jill looked at Bill for a second and then back to Riley with concern.

"Of course. Is everything okay?" she asked soothingly.

Meanwhile, in Headquarters, Anger walked over to Sadness with the red memory orb from yesterday and handed it over to her. Sadness placed her hand on it and it became a mixture of red and blue. Anger silently nodded and he walked over to the projector and inserted it in. Sadness looked back at the screen where Riley and her mom were now sitting on the couch in the living room.

"Mom, remember this morning when you asked me what happened between me and Jordan yesterday?" Riley asked sadly.

"Yeah?" Jill said with concern.

"Well, I got into a disagreement with him about me not coming to his aunt's birthday last week, and…" the twelve year old sighed in a small voice. "I told him he wasn't a real friend."

Stunned silence hit the room. Luckily, it didn't last that long before Jill broke the silence as she responded calmly, but seriously, "Oh, Riley…"

Riley bit her lip as she felt tears creeping into her eyes, but quickly blinked them back and sincerely said, "I'm sorry, Mom. It's just that, I spoke out of anger. I was supposed to go last week, but then I forgot all about it. You see, he sent me an invitation three weeks ago and it never came. Not only do I feel angry, I felt betrayed."

"Maybe it's not his fault, sweetie." replied Jill, as she put her arm around her daughter. "Maybe the invitation got lost in the mail."

The Emotions were suddenly stunned and dumbfounded at what Jill just said.

"So all of this time the invitation got lost in the mail?" said Anger surprisingly. "Wow."

"No wonder why we kept going into our mailbox, looking for that invitation for three weeks, guys." Sadness said, as she looked at her comrades.

"Oh!" groaned Joy, as she buried her hands into her face.

"Maybe you're right, Mom. All of this time I've been angry for nothing, so there must have been a misunderstanding!" Riley realized, as she stood up from the couch. "We gotta go now."

"Well, whatever you say so, Riley." chuckled Jill, as she stood up from the couch too.

Ten minutes later, Riley and her parents were driving to the carnival. She took her cell phone out and looked through her text messages and saw a message from Jordan.

I'm at the ticket booth. Where are you?

She sent a response right away.

We're on our way, we'll be there shortly.

Meanwhile, back in Headquarters, Fear was staring out the windows, looking at the Islands of Personality. Friendship Island was still down and as he stared anxiously, Sadness walked over to him.

"Come on, come on. Friendship Island should be up by now." the raw nerve said to himself anxiously.

"It's not up yet?" Sadness responded, as she looked at Friendship Island. "Gee, I thought the talk with Mom really helped. Maybe I did something wrong."

The teardrop sighed sadly and looked down to the floor. Fear looked at Sadness with a sympathetic look on his face and bended down next to her.

"Sadness, this has nothing to do with you." Fear told her gently. "The way you handled with Riley was amazing."

"Really?" asked Sadness, as she looked up at Fear with a big smile on her face.

Fear gave her a warm smile and nodded, "Really. I think that if you make Riley apologize to Jordan face to face, then I'll be super happy."

Suddenly, Joy came running over to the two Emotions with excitement.

"Guys! Guys, we're here!" she announced happily.

They looked at the monitor and saw the entrance to the carnival.

"Well, here we go." Sadness replied solemnly.

Once again, she approached over to the console as the rest of the Emotions watch Riley and her parents getting out of the car and walking over to the ticket booth where they saw Jordan standing there.

"This better work." the teardrop said quietly, before taking a deep breath and pressing a button.

"Hey, Jordan! Over here!" Riley called, as she waved her arms up and down.

This got Jordan's attention as he called back, "Riley! You made it!"

Riley ran over to him and asked with relief, "Did you get my text?"

"Yeah, I got it. I was gonna text you to say that I'm really sorry about yesterday, but then you beat me to it." Jordan replied. "Anyway, you know that invitation I sent you three weeks ago and you never showed up last week?"

"Uh-huh. I still remember." the twelve year old girl stated.

"I just found out that it got lost in the mail, so it turns out that there must have been a misunderstanding. I'm really sorry." explained Jordan, as he sadly looked down.

"It's okay, Jordan. I forgive you." Riley said, as she held out her hand to Jordan. "Friends?"

Jordan looked up and smiled warmly as she shook hands with Riley and said, "Friends."

Inside Headquarters, a golden and blue memory orb rolled into the shelves. Suddenly, Friendship Island shone in the distance, powered up and running.

"Woohoo! Friendship Island is saved!" cheered Fear happily, as he raised his fist in the air.

"Ya did it, kid!" cheered Anger happily, as he ran over to Sadness. "You saved the day!"

"Three cheers for Sadness! Hip, hip!" Joy cheered.

"Hooray!" Anger, Disgust and Fear cheered, as they lifted Sadness up.

"Hip, hip!" Joy announced triumphantly.

"Hooray!"

"Hip, hip!"

"Hooray!"

As the Emotions cheered for Sadness, Riley and Jordan walked into the carnival with Bill and Jill following behind.
