After Fear and Sadness had declared their love for each other, Headquarters got a little crazy. Joy wanted to know everything, Disgusted was horrified that they kissed, while Anger remained fairly neutral about the whole thing. 'Good job, kiddo,' he said to Fear. 'Good job.' 'Uh, thanks, I guess,' Fear replied, having never received a compliment from Anger before.
'So, when's the wedding?' teased Joy. Sadness blushed. Fear turned a very deep shade of scarlet. In actual fact, Fear had thought about proposing, but he'd had problems finding a ring, so that had to be postponed. Not that he told anyone. Goodness knows what would have resulted from that.
For what it was worth, though, Fear had to say he was happy. Sadness was, too, but of course she remained melancholic as she always was, but she was beginning to show her other side of caring, especially towards Fear.
One day, Fear was off-duty, exploring Headquarters as he wished. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted a ring made of sapphire, apparently left from Riley's fake wedding she had with a male friend of hers back in elementary school.
Fear, intrigued, reached for the ring and saw a reflection of himself gleaming back at him. Seeing an opportunity, he put it in his pocket and resolved to put it into his cupboard inside his room.
"This could come in handy", he said only to himself.
