Thanks for reading so far! I'm guessing you guys love my semi-autobiography hey? Well here's yet another chapter for you. Have fun!
Chapter 3I'm going to tell you now, I only agreed to writing this because Anger said that she'll pummel me to the floor if I don't. Man she scares me. Anyway…I am Fear and I'm especially scared of heights, killing stuff and losing things, which means Harry is scared of these things too. If it wasn't for me, Harry would have died fifty times over. Whether it's crossing the road, climbing a tree feeding the ducks or riding a bicycle you can never know what's gonna happen and so I help Harry take things nice and steady, and if it really dangerous, we make sure to leave it well alone, no matter how much Joy protests.
School started off okay, just like Joy knew it would, and Disgust helped us make new friends. The teacher, Mrs Leyton (remember, not her real name), was really nice and allowed me to relax, there wasn't anything to be scared of here.
We got on to literacy and numeracy almost right away, and a couple of terms in we knew the alphabet, we could count to ten, and we could even read some basic words. Boy was school great; even Sadness was having fun.
Eventually Anger came along at some point. I can't remember the exact details but something happened between us and some other kid in the year above us. Anger, just like Disgust, appeared out of nowhere, took the controls and made Harry extremely grumpy for the rest of that lunchtime, until Evan and Alex came along to play at least. Anger became quite the regular around headquarters, especially as we got older where, due to Harry's particularly slim frame, it made it look like he couldn't defend himself and so the older kids used to pick on him. Anger changed all that. She had Harry fight back against these kids and even though we got in trouble for it, I knew they'd never bully us as much as they did ever again. Now, she may pick on me from time to time but when it comes to making things fair for Harold she sure knows her stuff.
A couple of weeks later, it was my turn for dream duty and I remember this night rather well. We don't usually bother recollecting dreams that Harry has had in the past, but because of its peculiarity, it's still as vivid to me as if we'd seen it yesterday. If any of you readers are old enough you'll remember the really old screensaver on Windows XP with the moving pipes that go all over the place, kinda like that snake game, , apart from they can touch each other and every so often the screen refreshes so the sequence starts all over again. Well, that night dream productions had Harry be one of those pipes, but in the first person. He was moving around in a set sequence and so were all of the others around him. But all of a sudden one of the pipes took to doing the completely the wrong thing, which made me think to myself, "now this is getting interesting!". For some reason or another it began to speed up and up and up, and it was smashing into all the other pipes, making them explode; that is when I started to panic. "Oh no! Harry's gonna be next!" Harry tried to steer away but the rogue pipe just kept coming, it was right on top of us, it was heading right towards us and…
Fear, calm down, just breathe. It's not happening again, you're just telling a story. Sorry, where was I? Oh right, the pipe dream. I woke Harry up at that point and everyone had heard the commotion and came running in. Anger and Disgust were the first in and they were fuming.
"Hey purple Face, good job in waking up Harry, you doofus."
"B…but…"
"What was it this time? Daleks again? JarJar Binks? Oh puh-leez!"
"But pipes. PIPES!?"
"Oh great, they've really broken him this time, now he's mumbling gibberish."
Fortunately, when Sadness arrived he seemed to understand,
"Hey, I got your back bro, I would have done it too. Maybe…"
It took me all night to recover, but at least Sadness stayed up with me after that, and I was grateful.
I think I've covered enough for now, I don't think I've missed anything, I just hope I haven't bored you to death. Anywho, I hope you have fun reading Disgust's first part, her sarcasm alone always gets me. See ya later then!
