"Alright, Joy!" Disgust strutted in the air with a triumphant smile on her little green face.

"Yes, Disgust?" Joy looked up from the console. Mom Dad and Riley were reminiscing on a few good memories back in Minnesota. Sadness was there too, making the conversation a little more sad, yet interesting and real. Joy had completely taken over when Mom and Dad announced that they were going back to Minnesota for a few weeks in the summer.

"They just finished dinner. Riley's going to go clean herself, then she's going to bed,we vote and then we click puberty!" Disgust announced happily

"Fine Disgust. Just give us a few seconds." Joy held up a finger, still preoccupied.

"Fine, Joy." She folded her arms and sunk to the couch, folding her legs politely.

After Joy finished with the console, she looked over at Disgust with an excited grin on her face. "Alrighty Disgust! Call the others, cause we are ready!"

She stared at Joy blinking rapidly "They are all here and we're ready. To push the button, I mean."

Joy rolled her eyes and put on another smile "So right now, we're going to take a vote. It's simple. Who think it's time to push the button and start puberty, and who doesn't. I don't really need to hear why you picked your side, just raise your hand."

Disgust folded her arms "If we don't click that button, Riley will be the only almost-twelve year old who has emotions too scared to start Puberty. Raise your hand if you think that it's totally time to activate the Puberty button."

Disgust looked around and raised her right hand. Anger did the same. "To those who aren't raising their hands, do you know how much pain you'll be inducing on Riley?" She glared at Fear and Sadness then Joy

Joy smiled back at Disgust "So raise your hand if you vote no," Joy raised her hand along with Fear.

"Sadness you didn't vote yet!" Joy said

"I know. I'm not sure if we should, but I'm not sure if we shouldn't, therefore I don't think I know what's best for Riley." Sadness

"Oh for crying out loud!" Disgust shouted "Pick a side! You don't even have to agree with what side you pick!"

"Okay." Sadness proceeded to lift her chubby arm "Except I think I'm to sad to do anything"

"What? Sadness!" Disgust whined

"Maybe one of you could raise two hands or something. It can count as my vote"

Sadness suggested sinking to the ground "Would one of you mind dragging me to my room?"

"Eh," Disgust groaned before quickly sticking her other hand in the air.

"Looks like I win" she practically skipped over to the console before Joy stuck an arm in her face.

"Joy, what do you think you're doing?" She looked at Joy, crawling under her arm.

"You didn't win! What do you think you're doing!" Joy planted her whole body in front of Disgust, putting her hands on her shoulders.

"Sadness said I could have her vote. Technically that was Sadness' vote. So I get to click the button."

"No, you don't. It's neutral since Sadness didn't vote. We'll vote later when Sadness is ready. "

Disgust rolled her eyes before she got an idea "Fine," she turned her back away from Joy and the console

"Thank you," Joy muttered, turning to the others " Alright, great job today everyone. Get ready so it's just as perfect tomorrow!" She clapped her hands together as the emotions scattered; except Disgust.

"Disgust-"

"Whatever Joy,, later you'll just see that what you did was wrong, and I was right," Disgust's petite nose was high in the air

"Sorry you feel that way." Joy said with a sad smile "But a deals a deal. Try to get some sleep, okay?"

"As I said: whatever, Joy" Disgust said.

"Okay. See you tomorrow," Joy turned around and walked to her room, while Disgust sunk to the ground, pretending to sulk.

Joys footsteps got quieter, and softer the farther she got.

Once she was gone, a devilish smirk played in Disgust's lips. She was so happy she was so much smarter than those other simple minded emotions. She stood up and checked one more time to make sure that none of them had caught onto her plan. And they had all gone to bed, but she watched out for Sadness, who would be back for dream duty in a few minutes. Disgust had to admit that she wanted to go to bed like the others because she wasn't on dream duty, but she also knew that she knows what is best for Riley. She walked towards the console boldly before she lost any nerve, turned her face to the side, bit her lips, closed one of her eyes, stuck her pointer finger out, and jammed it into the button.

It flashed for a second, then a whole set of new buttons appeared. Breast. Period. Growth spurt. Weight gain. Uh-oh. Yes, she was nervous. Very nervous, actually, but the button wouldn't have been there if there wasn't a good reason. All the things on the console were meant to be used (except for Angers stash of curse words) so it couldn't be that bad. It shouldn't be that bad at all.

"Uh, Disgust?"

Disgust whipped her head around, her green hair whipping over her shoulder. "Oh, hey Sadness! What... What are you doing up?"

"I have dream duty. What are you doing up?" Sadness trudged over to the console, and then looked up at Disgust "You pressed puberty, didn't you?"

"What?" Disgust coughed "of course I didn't! I...I... I just wanted... Um... Some water!"

"Oh. " Sadness gave the green emotion an odd look. "You pushed puberty."

"Alright, fine. Yes, Sadness I started puberty. Is there an issue win me trying to do what's best for Riley?" Disgust folded her arms and looked down at Sadness.

"uh, no I guess not," Sadness looked down at her folded, blue hands.

"Great. Well, yeah. I'm tired so I'm gonna like go. To bed" Disgust turned around and sashayed to her room. Mission accomplished. Haha.

"Okay, good night, Disgust. Have fun sleeping, while I stay here. Alone." Sadness turned back to the console.

Disgust, ignoring Sadness' comment, continued to her room, excited to see how the others would react to this major change in Riley's life.
