She stumbled into bed, trying to suppress the images and voices replaying in her head, solely focusing on the comforting voices of Joy and Sadness, ignoring her parents behind the locked door. Anger and Disgust were at the back becoming ever more unbalanced at the insanity choking their 11-and-a-half-year-old human, Fear joining them.
"I'll KILL those-!"
"Anger-."
"Not unless we get-!"
"Disgust!"
"Riley, we're here-."
"Just calm yourself-."
"We could do both at-"
"SHUT UP!"
The planners' mouths slammed shut, Joy and Sadness shooting him a thankful glance as they continued talking to Riley.
"Fighting or humiliating them won't change what happened! We need to get people's minds away from it, get them to associate Riley with something closer to who she really is."
Finally getting them to be constructive, they paced and muttered, Disgust occasionally glancing at the islands. Two, in particular.
"What about using, 'Goofball' and 'Social Networking' Islands?"
They all looked at her in confusion, with only Joy and Sadness piecing together what she meant.
"You're talking about getting people to laugh with Riley, not at Riley… THAT'S BRILLIANT!"
"Yeah, sure, but what if it goes wrong and people do so, anyway? We'll just have made things even worse."
Joy wrapped an arm around her blue friend and dragged her to the windows, her smile as wide and bright as ever.
"With everyone helping, both Inside and Out, very few things could go wrong!"
