StoryHi Barbara!
I can’t believe how expeditiously you did this!
/chackles with amused evilness/
Hmm…
/gets a brownie for extra endorphin kick to completely overload senses and hopefully result in even more fun-d-k/
Lois’ heart raced, so eager was she to see Clark again. Too much time had passed since they’d parted, too much time spent finding the right costume, touching up her makeup and taming her hair until it was just right.
Great touch, making both her absence seem overly long and her obsessiveness completely normal.
Because tonight, she was going to be his.
Instead he being hers!
Very clever interpretation of the pheromone effect.
Inside her mind, Joy had a hard time reigning in her giddiness.
Ah!
Her usual glow had spiked up, blinding the other emotions who were standing behind her, separated by an invisible field between them.
The drug’s effect.
Fear covered her eyes with her hands. “We need to do something!”
I see. Only Joy got effected.

“And what's that supposed to be?” Anger growled, tapping her foot. “We already tried breaching the barrier, burning it down, not to mention your pitiful attempt at talking Joy out of this madness.” A flame of barely contained frustration flickered on her head.
Nice! Also, Apparently Joy needs about 48 hours to tucker herself out.
“Gee, how long can it take to wake Embarrassment from her beauty sleep?
Oh, combined with Embarrassment getting sent to Lalaland. Taken straight out of IO2, the teenage emotions
“Lois!” Clark appeared on the doorstep, a strange purple glow and blinking hearts surrounded him.
Like a targeting halo in a computer game
Disgust gagged. “I swear if any of this becomes a core memory, I'm resigning.”
Oh dear. Would this be a good thing or a Bad(TM) one?
Embarrassent, who'd obviously tried to resist, tumbled into Headquarters, landing flat on her stomach.

Too embarrassed to come out
From behind her, Anxiety darted out of the room, jumping over Embarrassment’s back right through the barrier.
“Are you sure we practiced enough?” Anxiety asked eagerly, pushing Joy to the side so she could get access to the controls.
Anxiety could help? I did not see that one coming?
“Wait, what?” Disgust muttered. “Why did she get through?”
See? Am not alone here.
I swear she put on more weight since Clark sent Lois into the sewers.”
Too funny!
“Please tell me, she’s not untying that trench coat. She cannot show him what she’s wearing.”
But that’s the whole point!
“I’m more concerned with all the stuff she isn’t wearing,” Disgust said glumly. “Can someone knock me out, please?”

“This pink bunch of insecurities kept us from asking out every single cute guy in high school! But she's utterly useless when you need her!”
Most entertaining!
Embarrassent, no longer pushed into the barrier, took a step back and tightened her hood until only her nose and mouth stuck out.
Great touch from the movie!
Then she pulled a chocolate bar from the pocket in her hoodie and started chewing.
“Then find a solution!” Anger threw up her hands. “FYI: Eating chocolate is not it!”
Hey! We discussed “Lois” dancing, not “Clois”!
Embarrassment briefly glanced over her shoulder, saw Lois whirling around a veil, turned a deeper shade of pink and pulled a carton of Rocky Road Ice Cream from her hoodie.

“Seriously?” Disgust snorted. “You got a fridge in there?”
Embarrassent wordlessly handed Disgust a spoon and pressed the carton of ice cream into her hands.
Most funny detail!
Disgust studied the gift with dismay, then rolled her eyes and dropped the offending items as if she'd burned herself. It rolled through the barrier, straight toward Joy, who picked it up and grinned.
What’s gonna happen now? Will Joy eat herself into a sugar coma?
She snapped her fingers, then pulled a lever. “Initiating ‘Dance of the Seven Veils’.”
Disgust groaned. “There go over a hundred years of women fighting for emancipation."
Hey, Lois is informing her man that he will be hers.
JOY: We will be his.
DISGUST: See?
“No, it means he’s not attracted to us!” Sadness cried. Tears welled out of her eyes, creating a puddle around her. “He’s just not into Lois.”
That’s a great turn of events. I did not see that one coming
Lois, I just can't take advantage of you this way.”
“See, he’s just not attracted to her,” Sadness weeped. “It’s all over.”
Did you ever watch Ally McBeal? Maybe his dumb-stick is broken?
Disgust shrugged. “The last time she was drunk, Sadness worked the controls and the screen got all blurry. I don’t recall any force…”
“Oh darn,” Fear yelped. “We didn’t bring any protection!”
I did not see that one coming either!
Suddenly an alarm blared. <Facial recognition alert, facial recognition alert>
Ooooooh!
Joy literally seemed to explode. “Oooooohhhh, jackpot,” she cheered. "JACKPOT!!!"
She danced behind the console and when she pushed a button, Lois said, “That you look a lot like... Superman.”
Suddenly, a new memory appeared, glowing yellow and brighter than any other.
Master Core Memory unlocked!
FIRE HYDRANT: Hold my water.
Headquarters tilted, causing the new core memory to roll across the floor until Anger caught it, adding a deep shade of red to the memory in her hands.
Disgust threw up her arms. “Oh, just wonderful. Now she’s going to be angry, when she realizes that he’s been lying to her the whole time.”
That’s so clever! Next Embarrassment gets to hold it, too!
Disgust pursed her lips. “I hate to admit it, but Sadness is probably right. Okay, we need to hide the memory until time’s right. Sadness, you find a place for it.”

“And listen to Nostalgia tell us about all the stuff we did as children?” Embarrassment shook her head.
Then she took the core memory from Sadness hands, adding a shade of pink to the blue, yellow and red. She slid the memory into the front pocket of her hoodie.
Very nice! Also, called it!
Sadness hesitated. “Any chance you got chocolate in there?”
Embarrassent pulled a fresh carton of ice
Cream from her hoodie and handed it to her fellow emotion.
Sorry for quoting all of it!
“I guess, the occasion calls for vanilla.”
Nope, nothing ‘vanilla’ about it.
SHOW:
Okay, I guess it was pretty vanilla in the end
This was such a fun adaption! Thank you for this so very much! I am grinning like a goofball
Michael
