Cherry and the Friendship Games

chapter 6

There were five humanoid figures that seemed to dress like Cherry. They were blue, yellow, green, purple, and red. The figures looked over and walked right over.

"Um, who are you?" Cherry asked them.

"We're your emotions." the yellow one told her.

"Yeah!" The red one told her.

"Umm..." Cherry felt lost.

"I'm Joy, you don't use me as much as you used to." the yellow one said.

"I'm Anger, you use me about once a month, especially when you don't understand something the first time." the red one added.

"I'm Disgust, I think I'm your favorite." the green one added.

"I'm Fear... I don't think introductions are necessary..." the purple one shivered.

"I'm Sadness, you use me every time you go home because you feel dead inside and have a fear of no one really liking you and you'll just die alone..." the blue one sulked.

"What do you have to do with what's going on?" Cherry asked.

"Simple, follow us, we'll show you to the Dream Studio!" Joy announced proudly.

"The Dream Studio?" Cherry asked.

"Come on! We'll take your train of thought!" Joy rushed off with the others. "Unlike most people, yours still runs even when you're alseep."

Cherry was very confused as she looked around, following her emotions.

"She's really happy you're here with her..." Joy came between Cherry and Teller with a suave smile.

"Oh, I can tell." Teller smirked.

"That's good to know." Joy smiled.

Cherry blushed again as her train of thought came aboard. The emotions let Cherry and Teller go first.

"All aboard..." Sadness dully called.

A couple of orbs came to the controls and drove the train to the Dream Studio.

"This is just so GREAT!" Joy grinned at Cherry. "I've been dying to meet you! Especially on Halloween! That's a great holiday! The candy, the costumes, the deadly atmosphere, how can you not love that holiday!?"

"Anyone who has a sense to be scared." Fear said.

"Ah, wise up, ya noodle head!" Anger scoffed.

"Are they bothering you?" Disgust asked Cherry. "I think they're bothering you... Then again, everything in the world does, especially if they breathe."

"Sorry, this is just a little shocking..." Cherry said. "I mean... Who meets their emotions!?"

"Sorry, Cherry, but this is the only way to show you what I need to show you." Teller told her.

"He's right, ya know," Joy smiled. "Oh, my goodness, you have so much to learn, Cherry! I mean, this is an amazing world and it's made because of you being born!"

"This is going to be disappointing..." Sadness sulked.

"Oh, come on, Sadness, be positive." Joy smiled.

"I can't help it... It's who I am..." Sadness pouted.

"So not your color..." Disgust muttered.

"WHAT'S THE HOLD-UP UP THERE!?" Anger grew impatient. "I hate WAITING!"

"Welcome to your emotions." Teller sighed, already knowing this was going to be a long trip.

"Oh, man..." Cherry groaned as she flopped against Teller. "Maybe I should clear my head."

"NO!" the emotions all yelled out.

"If you clear your mind, the Train of Thought will stop!" Fear cried out.

"Yikes! Okay then, I won't clear my mind." Cherry said.

"Phew..." the emotions relaxed then.

"This is gonna be a long ride..." Cherry groaned again.

"We're almost there." Teller promised.
