It was the first day of school for Olivia. She had put on her new dress, eaten breakfast, brushed her teeth and hair, and grabbed her new backpack which had her lunch inside. Then, she sat at the dining room table next to Kevin and Julia who were still eating. Olivia had been the most excited and had done everything fast but she then had a lot of time before they had to leave.

"I don't want to go back to school," Kevin complained. "Fifth grade has even more work than forth."

"I'm excited!" Julia said.

"Well third grade is easy," Kevin said. "Kindergarten is even easier."

"I'm excited too," Olivia said.

The emotions were organized but the all also had very firm opinions about going to school. Joy was over the top excited about school, Sadness was sad that she would have to leave mom behind and didn't want to leave home, Disgust was worried that Olivia wouldn't make any friends, Fear was scared about going to somewhere so big and Anger was mad that Olivia would have to give up her playing time. So far, Joy had been winning this battle which kept Olivia excited about it but Olivia was wavering with every press a button from Fear or Sadness.

"What if no one likes me?" Olivia asked her older siblings.

"Everyone will like you," Julia reassured her. "In kindergarten everyone gets along. You'll make tons of friends."

"See- Julia says it will be easy to make friends." Joy announced.

"Yeah, everyone will hate you," Kevin joked.

"Kevin doesn't seem to think so," Fear pointed out.

"Kevin's just joking."

Ten minutes later, the kids were piling into the back seat of the car. Their mom drove them to school and first dropped the eldest two at their classes. She then walked Olivia over to her class. She talked to the teacher who said that the kids were starting off the day by playing on the playground and said that Olivia could go play with them.

Fear suddenly opened his glass case and pressed the Panic button.

Olivia started to cry.

"What's wrong?" her mom asked.

"I'm scared. I don't want to go over there." Olivia said burying her tear-filled face into her mom's shirt.

"It's okay," her mom comforted her. "All you need to do is find one other little girl like you and ask if you can play with her. She will definitely say yes."

Joy pulled a crank then pushed a lever before pressing two different buttons.

Olivia wiped her eyes and then smiled at her mom.

Joy spun her wheel.

Olivia gave her mom a hug and then ran off towards the playground.

"Who should she ask to play with?" Fear asked. "We need to choose the right person."

"Maybe that girl who's hanging upside down on the monkey bars with the long black hair? Or the really tall girl with the curly hair who is on the slide? Or how about that light brown haired girl who is standing over to the side with no one to play with? She looks lonely." Joy commented.

"Definitely the lonely girl," Disgust announced pressing a button at the same time as Joy did.

Olivia walked towards another girl who was standing to the side of the playground looking at the other kids hesitantly. This girl was skinny but a few inches taller than Olivia and she had very bright green eyes.

"Hi," Olivia said. "Could I play with you?"

"Sure," the girl said, a smile brightening her face. "I'm Bailey."

"I'm Olivia." The two girls raced towards the slide and started to play together. A couple minutes later, another girl came up to them and introduced herself to them as Caroline and she started to play with them too.

"See, it's all great," Joy said.

"I know, right?" Disgust said.

By the end of the play time, the tall girl who was on the slide named Sophia and the girl who she was playing with, Lily joined and the group of five girls started playing tag together. Too soon, they had to go back into the class where they got assigned to tables which already had name tags. Five people were at each table and luckily Sophia was sitting beside her. The other people at their table were two boys named Matthew and Kyle as well as another girl named Jessica. The teacher, Mrs. Jones talked to the class and Olivia listened carefully. Soon, it was lunch time and the got to eat and then play with the toys in the back of the class.

"We get to play!" Anger exclaimed. "Yes!" She pushed a button.

Olivia squealed in delight and met up with her new friends who played house using the little kitchen play station. They got to spend awhile playing and then afterwards they sat back down and the teacher talked some more.

Right before the end of the day, they got to play outside a bit more.

"Race to the top of the playground!" Caroline shouted and the five girls ran over to the playground and then climbed it. Sophia easily won followed by Caroline who had gotten a head start and then Olivia was third. The other two were close and just behind. For the rest of the time, they played on the playground. They took turns on the slide and those of them who were able to do the monkey bars did them. It was too soon that the bell rang and it was time to go home.

"What! It's over! I don't want to go home!" Anger said with a growl.

"I don't want to go home," Olivia said with a sigh to bailey who she was walking next to.

"Me neither," Bailey said. "You're my new best friend, I think."

"Really?" Olivia asked and Bailey nodded.

Joy let out a high pitched squeal of excitement.

"You're my best friend too!" Olivia said.

A series of memory orbs had been falling down but then one came out that was sparkly and bright and golden.

"It's a core memory," Disgust remarked. "Go put it where it belongs."

"Oh, yeah!" Joy said and she ran over to where they went and placed it gently in its spot. Over at the window, some builders were moving a sign in that said Friendship Island: Building in Progress.

Olivia waved goodbye to Bailey and ran towards her mom.

"How was your day, sweetie?" her mom asked.

"How was our day?" Disgust asked. "Good, right? Let's say good. Go for it, Joy." Joy pressed a couple of buttons.

"It was great, mommy. I made lots of new friends." She said as they walked over to the front of the school where Julia and Kevin would be waiting. "I even made a best friend, Bailey. She was the girl I first started playing with but then Caroline joined us and the three of us played. Afterwards, Sophia and Lily joined us, and when we went to our assigned seats mine was next to Sophia. That was great, we're going to stay at the same table for two or three weeks." Olivia continued telling her mom about her day during the ride home and as she ate a snack after school.

"Today really was a great day," Disgust said as she sent all the memory orbs down to the long term memories. She walked over to where Joy was watching the island being built. The centre piece was a statue of Olivia and Bailey in the middle with her other new friends all around them.
