"Sadness, you'll never believe what I just found!"
Sadness looked up from her book as Joy burst into the room in her usual Joy-fashion. The door was open of course, but "bursting" was really the only way to describe it. She was holding a game case. Sadness put on her glasses to read the title. "Little Big Planet 2." She said aloud. "Yeah!" Joy replied. "There was a demo on at GameStop, and it's the nicest game ever! It's even multiplayer! It'll be great! I figured we could skip right to two and not miss much."
"Alright. Let's give it a shot."
Sadness wasn't a big fan of video games. Not because she didn't like them, but many a game not made for ten-year-olds came with plenty of violence, and Sadness could not take violence. Of any kind, cartoon or otherwise. So Joy played the games. But today might be different.
Joy loaded the game into their XPlay. It automatically selected the new disc, and started the install. "Lemonade?" Joy asked.
"Is it the homemade one you did yesterday?"
"You bet."
"I'll take a glass."
Joy went to go grab the lemonade while Sadness watched the update.
Joy came back out right as Sadness was about to call "It's done!"
She instead muttered "Nice timing." into her glass as they sat down for the intro.
After the intro, it was determined that Story Mode was not cut out for Sadness. However, the game was not cast aside like one might think. Joy thought up the perfect idea to keep the game alive.
"We could make each other levels in the level maker!"
"Really?"
"We could make them for one person, both of us, or even us and friends!"
And so everyday, after their duties were done, one or both of them sat down at the TV and worked on LBP.
And that's how Sadness discovered Journey.
