Joy's pov:

Today is going to be a great day, I can just tell. The shining sun, the singing birds, the crisp morning air blowing in through the cracked windows. Today is going to be spectacular! And there's no better way to start the day than with the most important meal of the day, breakfast!

I wake up early, every morning just to make sure my brothers all have a good hearty morning meal to fill them up. You see, I'm the over-hyper one, getting up at 9 every morning, cleaning, greeting neighbors, and the passing mailman while watching leaves drop from their branches in the fall weather. I'm Joy, the glue of our group, they all need me but never admit it. It's okay though because I know that they love me, I don't need to hear them say it.

And this is why I do what I do, all for those four.

The bacon sizzled and popped as I whipped up a dozen or so fluffy pancakes, and eggs right beside them, ready to eat for whoever came first downstairs and through the kitchen doorway.

It just so happened to be Anger. I scrapped up a plate of pancakes, eggs, and bacon to sit down for him with a glass of orange juice and a morning greeting. "Good morning Anger! How did you sleep." I beamed, hearing him already scoff at my excitement for the morning and his presence.
"Fine." He muttered back, taking a stack of pancake pieces onto his fork and stuffing his mouth full. "That's thrilling to hear, I'm glad, I'll go wake the others enjoy your breakfast." I gave a smile and skipped off upstairs.

Fears room was the first door I approached and knocked at. I did not receive an answer back so I walked in, finding him sprawled out across his blankets, mouth wide open as he snored. I tiptoed over and tapped his arm, nearly leaping from my skin as he gave off a large jump and sprung from the bed, clutching his chest. "Jesus Joy, you scared the crap out of me!" His voice quivered, "Sorry about that Fear, I made breakfast, just letting you know." He nodded and we both walked from his room to the hallway.

He went downstairs and I moved to Disgust's room, walking right in as I did with Fear. Only Disgust wasn't in bed, he was singing out from behind the closed bathroom door, in the shower I presume. I strolled over, gave the door a light tap, and awaited his voice. "Yes?" "Hey Disgust, it's Joy, just letting you know that I made breakfast. Come down and eat when you're ready." I listened, having to hold my ear against the door to hear him. "Yeah thanks, I'll be down after my shower." "Okay!" I smiled and left to Sadness' room.

Feeling the gloominess radiate from inside, I sighed. Sadness doesn't close his door, ever. And for some odd reason, he won't tell any of us. I peeped in, seeing him cocooned away inside of his blanket, sleeping so peacefully. I made my way inside with care, taking a place on the empty part of the bed beside him. "Hey Sadness, how you feeling today bud?"

"Sad, Joy, how I feel every day." My heart sorrowed in pain, wanting to reach down and wrap my arms around him so I did. I held the little burrito known as Sadness, listening to him sigh. "If you feel up to eating, I made breakfast. You come down whenever you feel ready, okay?" I pulled away, a soft smile to hopefully brighten his mood. "Thank you Joy, again." "No problem buddy. See you down there?" I questioned. "Yeah, see you down there." He, however, frowned and shoved himself more inside his blanket wrap.

My feet padded down back stairs to Anger and Disgust going at each other's throats, as usual. And fear was sat in the corner, tucked away from any chance of getting scared, nearly falling back asleep and face planting into his pancakes. I walked over, tapping his shoulder softly. "Hey Fear, wake up buddy, I've got an announcement." He picked his head up, groaning in displeasure before agreeing to pay attention. I went to Anger and Disgust next.
"Anger, Disgust, what is going on here?"
