I like this chapter a lot more than the other, but i didn't edit it! ENJOY
"Morning, morning, morning, everyone! Wake up, wake up, wake up!" Joy bounced into the room of every emotion. "We've got a big day ahead! Hurry, hurry! Look alive!"
Embers began to form on Angers head as he stomped out of his room.
"I don't get whats so great about today, we're just going to sleep on the sofa like every saturday." Sadness trudged over to the console.
"Yeah, but it's our 12th birthday!" Joy said racing to the console next to Sadness.
Disgust walked over to the console, shaking her head, as she pulled Riley out of bed and made sure she got a shower. When she was finished, she pulled a white training bra over her head and slipped a fuzzy purple sweater on with a pair of jeans.
"Disgust, move" Anger said pushing Disgust out of the way reaching for the console. "She's been looking in the mirror at the same outfit for twenty minutes"
"Well, sorry for making her want to look good. I know it's hard when your not as beautiful as me"
"We haven't gotten any taller." Sadness, noted randomly. Riley's focus was now on how she had only grown an inch in the past few months.
"Alright, time to go, breakfast is going to get cold!" Joy pushed everyone out of the way. Riley proceeded to put a grin back on her face as she slid down the bannister.
"Morning, mom!" Riley said giving her mother a kiss on the cheek and sneakily grabbing a piece of French Toast.
"And what's got you so excited?" Her mom asked, putting a hand on her hip,spatula still in her hand.
"Ugh, why does she do this every year? It's so annoying" Disgust walked up to the console making Riley roll her eyes.
"She acts like she forgets our birthday, but what if she actually does!?" Fear said with worried eyes.
"Oh, come on guys, she's mom! It's like impossible for a mother to forget their daughters birthday?" Joy took over the center of the console again.
"Oh, I don't know. Just thinking how it's a great day to be alive!" Riley said cheerfully, deciding to play along.
"Well, look at my big twelve year old!" Riley's dad said picking her up. "Ugh, your getting to heavy for this, Ry." he put her back down on the ground
"Oh my god. Did he just call us fat? He just called us fat!" Disgust said with her pink lips in an 'o' shape.
"He did not! It just means the puberty button works!" Joy countered
"Or else she would be small forever. Small people are easier to get stepped on" Sadness said. The others looked at her in confusion.
"Hey, I'm not that heavy!" Riley joked "You're just weak!"
"Oh, Ri, your grandparents called this morning. They wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday, i want you to call them back, okay?"
"Alright," Riley went to sit in her chair and eat her breakfast.
"Why don't you do it now while it's fresh in your brain? You might forget later," Her dad suggested grabbing a place of bacon.
"We won't forget, you moron! How old do you think we are? We're twelve not eighty!" Anger snapped, banging his fist onto the console
"Ugh fine," Riley groaned picking up the black house phone and dialing her grandparents house phone.
The phone rang a few times before her grandmothers cheerful voice greeted," Hello?
"Uh, Hi," Riley said awkwardly
"RILEY! Richard, come to the phone, it's Riley!"
"Why don't you go even slower, old man!" Anger shouted
"Happy Birthday! How is your day going, sugarlump?" Riley's grandma said.
"Oh, god. This is so embarrassing" Disgust put her face in her hands.
"Um, it's great I was just about to eat my-"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" Both her grandparents began to sing in unison.
"Why can't we just go and eat our flipping breakfast!?" Anger seethed
"At least they remembered it was our birthday. I'm sure that most people forgot," Sadness sighed.
"Exactly!" Joy bubbled "It was so sweet of them to call"
"Right," Anger muttered sarcastically.
"-SUGARLUMP RILEY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUU!" They finished together.
"They can't even sing in the same key!" Disgust groaned.
Joy shot her a look. "Aw, thanks guys, that was nice of you!" Riley said genuinely, even though her breakfast was getting cold.
"Have a great day Riley! We have to go work out, but we'll drop your present by later! Bye now!"
"Bye, Grandma. Thanks again!"
"No problem dear! Richard, say good bye!" Riley heard her grandmother snap to her grandfather. She stifled a laugh.
"Riley, be careful when you hang out with your friends. Make sure no one takes your purse, or anything else more costly" her grandfather.
"Oh, thats a good point! What if someone steals her purse?"
"That trashy thing? please," Disgust snorted "No one's gonna want that. I would have had her throw it away, but no it was a gift from Gram and we had to keep it,"
"It was for her 10th birthday!" Joy defended.
"Why does everyone assume we are so stupid?" Anger rolled his eyes, walking down to the sofa on the other end of Headquarters.
"Alright, Grandpa. I don't think I'm going out much today, so don't worry!" Riley said
"Fine. Be careful. I'll see you later. Bye." And with that the line went dead. Riley chuckled, shaking her head as she returned to her cold french toast.
"Go wash your hands, young lady." Her mother reminded her "You don't know who touched that phone before you or what was on their hands."
"I'll just get sanitizer," Riley shrugged "And if it's so dirty why don't you clean it?" she sassed
"Anger, c'mon, lets just wash our hands! I don't want us to get sick. She could get the flu, pneumonia, strep throat! So many things! Even a common cold if not treated properly can be deadly!" Fear gripped anger by the arm, trying to get to his spot on the console.
"No, you idiot. We have been waiting twenty minutes to eat our cold Birthday breakfast, and sanitizer will take up less time."
"No, Riley. Go wash your hands. It's cold season and I wouldn't want you to get sick on your birthday,"
Riley rolled her eyes- courtesy of Anger and Disgust. She pumped some soap on her hands, and Fear made sure that she washed exactly for a minute.
When she returned from the bathroom her breakfast was still on the table, but now there was a box next to the deep blue plate along with a card.
A smile tugged at Riley's lips and she gave both her parents a hug. "Happy Birthday, Ri!' They both wrapped their arms around her slim frame "Open it. Jamie and Lana also called. They will be over at about three,"
Riley nodded, stuffing a piece of French toast in her mouth. She picked up the card and smiled at the cliche butterflies and flowers on the cover.
"How cute!" Joy said, as Riley's eyes scanned the card with a faint smile on her lips.
"Thanks guys," She said putting another piece of food in her mouth as she went to open the petite box. She carefully unwrapped the dark green wrapping only to reveal a new iPhone. Her jaw dropped and her eyes grew.
"I know we said we would get you one when you were thirteen, but you've been doing so well in school and hockey, and you deserve it kiddo," Her mother smiled
Riley jumped up and hugged them both, the food forgotten on the table.
"Thanks so much. I love you guys" she smiled into her mothers shoulder.
"Ugh, its the grey one. I was hoping for the rose one or whatever, " Disgust rolled her eyes.
" I like the grey one," Sadness mumbled
"Be grateful guys!" Joy chided, making Riley continue to laugh with her parents.
Anger glared "I am grateful. Now can we eat?"
Joy laughed and decided to ignore Anger "Alright, guys! She has been alive for officially twelve years! We just have to do her mind well for another eighty years and we should be good!"
