Inside Out

Dreams & Bad Ideas

Pan down from the Dream Productions Gate, a busy backlot.

"Whoa! This place is huge." Joy smiled widely.

"Bigger than I thought..." (Y/N)'s eyes sparkled.

"Yeah, it looks so much smaller than I expected." Sadness notes as they walk past dream 'movie posters.'

"Whoa! 'I Can Fly'? I love that one!" Bing Bong smiled.

Joy spots a Unicorn sitting in a director's chair as he gasps, holding (Y/N) close, "Rainbow Unicorn! She's RIGHT THERE!" Joy tries to play it cool as they walk past, hand in hand with (Y/N).

Sadness stands there still, "My friend says you're famous. He wants your autograph."

Joy rushed back, "No, no, Sadness, don't bother Miss Unicorn, okay?" Joy looked at the unicorn, "Sorry, she's from outta town. So embarrassing, right?" He pushes Sadness away as (Y/N) pops in.

"He loved you in Fairy Dream Adventure Part 7. Okay, bye. He loves you in an admiring way!" (Y/N) walked off.

They reach STAGE B. A sign below a red flashing light reads, 'DO NOT ENTER WHEN LIGHT FLASHING.'

"Huh. Wonder what that means. Oh well, let's go in!" Bing Bong opens the door as they enter.

Workers scramble to get ready for the production. A Director distributes scripts.

"Set up the classroom set! Today's memories are in, we've got a lot to work with here. Riley dumped her best friend, had a miserable day at school, and quit hockey. The writers have put together a killer script!" The director yells.

Joy cringes at the news as the three hide behind costumes.

😁😁😁

Fear enters drinking tea as we're back at headquarters as Fear was grumbling to himself, "Just because (Y/N), Joy and Sadness are gone, I have to do stupid dream duty..."

😁😁😁

Back with (Y/N), Joy, Sadness and Bing Bong they were watching from behind boxes.

"Okay, how are we gonna wake her up?" Joy asked.

"Well, she wakes up sometimes when she has a scary dream. We could scare her." Sadness suggested.

"That's the best idea we–" (Y/N) was interrupted by Joy.

"Scare her? No no, she's been through enough already." Joy complains.

"But Joy–"

"Sadness you may know your way around down here, but I know Riley! We're gonna make her so happy she'll wake up with exhilaration! We'll excite her awake!" Joy smiled.

"That's never happened before." Sadness said as Joy spots a nearby dog costume and tosses it to Sadness.

"Ooh, Riley loves dogs. Put this on!" Joy throws Sadness the back of a dog costume, "(Y/N), you're in charge of scenery!"

"Um...Got it?" (Y/N) seemed nervous.

"I don't think that'll work." Sadness seemed worried.

"Bing Bong." (Y/N) turned to Bing Bong.

"Yeah?" (Y/N) gives him the satchel containing the core memories, "Don't let anything happen to these."

"Got it!" Bing Bong gave a thumbs up.

The Director checks the monitor, "Mm hm. Add the reality distortion filter."

A Worker slips a filter over the camera lens, transforming the mind workers into replicates of Riley's classmates.
