The Other Side of Sadness

by JonoGwood

Most of the other Emotions think Sadness is too, well, sad to be around. Joy and Fear are the exceptions, and they see her for who she truly is. Especially Fear. (FearxSadness)

2. Ba-Dump Ba-Dump

There it was again. That thunderous, thumping rythmic heartbeat that only seemed to happen whenever Sadness was around.

Ba-dump ba-dump.

Sadness was coming closer now. Fear could see that she had some new earrings on. Those are new, he thought. Wait... why am I even thinking about them?

Ba-dump ba-dump.

Sadness seemed even more radiant than in past days. Fear couldn't put his finger on it.

Ba-dump ba-dump.

"Fear, are you okay?" inquired Sadness, noticing that he was staring at her.

"Oh, y-yeah," Fear stammered. "J-just thinking."

"Are you thinking about the time Riley cried in class? That was pretty sad."

"Er, n-no. Something a bit n-nicer."

Ba-dump ba-dump ba-dump.

This was crazy. Even the mere thought of Sadness was enough to send his heart racing.

Fear resolved to talk to Joy.
