Chapter 3- Hormones Drive You Crazy

No POV

Fear said, "After about a week of pressing the puberty button, hormones arrive in Headquarters. It's unknown how long they stay." He pointed out a picture of them. They looked like a cross between emotions and Forgetters. And they were pink.

Joy replied, "So, in a few days we'll have a group of pink mini-motions that will run around press the... well... everything for God knows how long?"

Fear thought this sounded like a sentence Anger would say, but he ignored it and responded. "Well, yes."

Joy smiled and cheered. "That doesn't sound bad! At least we'll have company."

Fear smiled too at this. He liked the way she could turn anything positive. She was Joy, after all. "I guess you're right. Let's tell the other emotions."

Anger took the news quite good. If taking news good means just a bit of smoke rising, which it does. For Anger, anyway. Everybody else didn't seem to mind. Until they popped into existence 10 minutes later. With no greeting, they just ran over to the console and jumped on it. Two of them started ballroom dancing on it, and one was flipping everything in her sight. It didn't take long for Anger to get frustrated. It never did, but these hormones just started to drive everyone crazy.

Next, they jumped on the console like it was a trampoline. Anger couldn't take it anymore. They'd only been there 11 minutes and 53 seconds (yes, he counted), but this was really ticking him off.

Anger ran over and yelled, "GET OFF OF THE CONSOLE!" Flames erupted on his head. Scared, the mini-motions ran to the memories side of the room.

One of the hormones randomely said, "Ooh! She's coming."

Joy asked, "Who? Who's coming?"

Suddenly, the hormones disappeared. A bright, blinding light engulfed Headquarters. Through the light came a new emotion. She was a little taller than Joy with light pink skin, lavender chest-length hair and a hot pink dress with purple fireworks. She happily said, "Hi! I'm Passion. My job is to help Riley find her true love."

Joy walked over to the new emotion. "Hello Passion. I think we're going to get along great!" Disgust rolled her eyes. Anger sighed. One Joy was enough.

Line Break

Thoughts on Passion?

The hormones, or "mini-motions" as Joy calls them, may come back. I honestly thought it would be more fun writing them, but it really wasn't. I think Passion will be fun though.
