Chapter 14
Bing Bong, we have to get to that station, Joy said. She couldnt believe they had lost another island. The train whistled in the distance, which made her feel even more anxious.
Sure thing, Bing Bong said. This way, just past Graham Cracker1 Castle. But then he sTOPped and looked around, confused. The castle was gone. I wonder why they moved it? he asked. He walked a bit farther. Suddenly, he realized things didnt look right.
A giant bulldozer came hurtling toward him and knocked over a pink castle. Bing Bong gasped2.
Princess Dream World! Glitter flew into the air as the castle disintegrated3. All of Preschool World was being torn down!
My rocket! Bing Bong screamed as he saw the Forgetters walking by with a red wagon4. He ran after it. Wait! he yelled as a bulldozer pushed the pile of old memories closer and closer to the cliff edge. Riley and I were still using that rocket! It still has some song power left!
He desperately5 sang the song that powered the rocket and it responded, binging and bonging back at him and firing up. It rocketed into the air, then dove straight over the cliff! Nooo! Bing Bong screamed. You cant take my rocket to the dump! Riley and I are going to the moon! He watched in shock as the rocket disappeared into the infinite darkness of the dump below. Riley cant be done with me, he said, feeling heartbroken and falling to his knees.
Joy could think of only one thing: she had to get to the station. So she tried to pep Bing Bong up. Hey, its going to be okay. We can fix this. We just need to get back to Headquarters. Which way to the train station? Bing Bong had no reaction. He was frozen with grief.
I had a whole trip planned for us, he said quietly.
Here comes the tickle6 monster, Joy said, as she tried a different tactic7. She tickled8 him, but he didnt respond. She even tried making funny faces, but her silliness wasnt snapping Bing Bong out of his misery9. Oh, here comes a fun game. You point to the train station, and well go there, Joy said. Bing Bong remained motionless.
Sadness walked over and sat down next to him. Im sorry they took your rocket, she said gently. They took something that you loved and its gone forever.
Sadness, dont make him feel worse, Joy said.
Sorry, said Sadness.
Its all I had left of Riley, said Bing Bong.
I bet you and Riley had great adventures, Sadness said.
They were wonderful. Once, we flew back in time. We had breakfast twice that day.
That sounds amazing. I bet Riley liked it.
Oh, she did. We were best friends, Bing Bong said. He started to cry.
Yeah, said Sadness. It is sad.
Bing Bong put his head on Sadnesss shoulder and cried candy tears. Sadness put her arm around him and tried to comfort him as he sobbed10.
After a good cry, Bing Bong wiped his eyes and took a deep breath. Im okay now, he said with a sniffle. He stood up and looked around. Cmon. The train station is this way. He started to walk toward it. Joy looked at Sadness in disbelief. How did you do that? she asked.
I dont know, said Sadness. He was sad, so I listened to what
Hey, theres the train! Bing Bong called.
The three ran up to the train and climbed aboard just as it was starting up. We made it! Joy said. Were finally going to get home!
Back in Headquarters, Anger, Fear, and Disgust ranted11 about the terrible day theyd had. On a scale of one to ten, I give this day an F, said Disgust.
Well, why dont we quit standing12 around and do something, Anger suggested, dropping his newspaper, which was emblazoned with the headline Riley Quits Hockey!
Fear thought they all should quit their jobs as Rileys Emotions. He knew it was the cowards way out, but since he was Fear, he was okay with that.
Emotions dont quit, genius, Disgust said.
Suddenly, Anger ran to the back and rummaged13 through the ideas, looking for something. Aha! he shouted, holding up an idea bulb triumphantly14. He believed hed found the solution they needed to fix everything for Riley. Just the best idea ever! he announced.
What? Disgust asked.
All the good core memories were made in Minnesota, Anger said. Ergo, we go back to Minnesota and make more. Ta-da!
Wait, wait, wait. Youre saying we run away? asked Fear. You cant be serious.
Our life was perfect until Mom and Dad decided15 to move to San Fran Stinktown, said Anger.
But, I mean, its just so drastic, said Fear.
Need I remind you how great things were there? Our room? Our backyard? Our friends? Anger punched up a memory, playing it on the screen.
The Tripledent gum commercial song played throughout Headquarters. Did I ask for the gum commercial? Annoyed, Anger slapped his hand against the console, ejecting the memory. Anyway, it was better. Thats my point.
Yeah, Riley was happier in Minnesota , said Disgust, nodding her head.
Shouldnt we just sleep on it or something? asked Fear.
Fine. Lets sleep on it, Anger said, crossing his arms over his chest. Because heyIm sure jolly, fun-filled times are just around the corner.
Inside her bedroom, Riley drifted off to sleep.
With Riley asleep, day turned to night in Mind World and the Train of Thought came to a screeching16 halt. Huh? Joy was confused. Hey! Why arent we moving?
Rileys gone to sleep, the train engineer said. Were all on break.
You mean were stuck here until morning? asked Sadness.
Yeah, the Train of Thought doesnt run while shes asleep, answered Bing Bong.
Oh, we cant wait that long! groaned17 Joy.
第 14 章
兵兵，大家需要到达那个火车站。乐乐说道，她不敢相信她们又失去了一座岛屿。火车的汽笛声从远处传来，这让她感到愈加焦虑。
当然。兵兵说道，这边走，过了前面的全麦饼干城堡就到了。但他停了下来，环顾四周，满脸茫然。城堡不见了。他们如何把城堡搬走了？他一边问一边继续往前走，忽然发现事情有的不对劲。
一辆巨型推土机朝他猛冲过来，推倒一座粉色城堡，兵兵倒抽了一口气。
公主梦世界！城堡崩塌的瞬间空中亮晶晶的一片。整个童年世界正在被摧毁。
我的火箭！看到路过的遗忘小人手里抓着的红色火箭，兵兵叫了起来，他追过去。等等！推土机将一堆旧的记忆球朝悬崖边缘越推越近。兵兵喊道：我和莱莉还要用到火箭哪！火箭里还剩一些歌声能量！
他绝望地唱起那首可以发动火箭的歌曲，火箭动了动，朝他发出乒乒乓乓的声音，发动了。火箭朝空中飞去，接着笔直地坠入悬崖！不！兵兵叫道，不要夺走我的火箭，不要把它扔进清理库！我和莱莉还要飞到月球上去呢！他惊愕地看失火箭消失在下方清理库无边的黑暗中。莱莉无需我了。他心碎了，跪倒在地。
乐乐只想着一件事：她需要到火车站去。于是她试着给兵兵打气：嘿，所有都会好起来的。只须大家能回情绪总部，肯定能解决这件事。哪条路可以去火车站？兵兵没反应，他因为过度悲伤，已经呆住了。
我本来计划好了整个行程。他静静地回答。
挠痒痒怪兽来啦。乐乐试着改变战术，开始挠兵兵痒痒，但他没什么反应。乐乐甚至开始做鬼脸，但装傻的乐乐也没能将兵兵从痛苦中唤醒。乐乐说：噢，要不大家玩个好玩的游戏，你指失火车站，然后大家到那儿去。但兵兵仍然一动不动。
忧忧走上前，坐在他旁边。他们拿走了你的火箭，我也非常难过。她温和地说，他们夺走了你心爱的东西，而且它没了永远没了。
忧忧，你如此只能让他更难过。乐乐说。
对不起。忧忧说。
那是莱莉留给我的唯一一样东西。兵兵说。
我敢打赌你和莱莉以前有过不少伟大的冒险历程。忧忧说。
棒极了。有一次大家还回到过去，所以那天大家吃了两顿早餐。
听起来很好啊，我相信莱莉肯定非常喜欢。
噢，当然，大家是最好的朋友。兵兵说着说着开始哭了起来。
是啊，忧忧说道，是非常让人难过。
兵兵把头靠在忧忧肩膀上，糖果眼泪掉了下来。忧忧伸出手抱着他，努力在他哭泣的时候安慰他。
大哭了一场之后，兵兵擦干眼泪，深吸了一口气，他擤了一下鼻子说：我没事了。他站起来，看看四周。来吧，火车站往这边走。他开始朝火车站走去。乐乐很难置信地看着忧忧，问：你是如何做到的？
我也不了解，忧忧回答，他非常难过，因此我听
嘿，火车在那儿！兵兵叫道。
他们三人向前跑，在火车正要出发的那一刻爬了上去。大家成功了！乐乐说道，总算可以回家了！
情绪总部里，怒怒、怕怕和厌厌为历程了糟糕的一天而大喊大叫。厌厌说：假如要从一到十给今天打分，我会打不及格。
我说，大伙别光站着不动，做点什么吧。怒怒建议道。他扔下手里的报纸，报纸上印有莱莉舍弃冰球比赛！的大标题。
怕怕觉得他们都要舍弃担任莱莉的情绪小人，虽然这是懦夫才会有些胆怯心理，但由于他是恐惧小人，他可以有这种想法。
天才，情绪小人可不可以卸任。厌厌说道。
忽然，怒怒跑到后面，将点子球翻来翻去，搜寻着什么。啊哈！他叫着，得意地举起一个点子球。他感觉自己找到了为莱莉解决所有问题的办法，于是大声宣布：这是有史以来最好的点子！
什么点子？厌厌问他。
所有美好的核心记忆球都是在明尼苏达州产生的。怒怒说，因此呢，大家回明尼苏达州去，创造更多美好的记忆，嗒哒！
等等，等等，等等。你是说大家离家出走？怕怕问，你不是认真的吧？
在父亲和母亲决定搬来这个糟透了的圣弗朗西死科之前，大家拥有完美的生活。怒怒说道。
但，我的意思是，如此有点太极端了。怕怕说。
需要我提醒你那儿有多么美怎么样？大家的卧室？大家的后院？大家的朋友？怒怒击起一个记忆球，在屏幕上播放起来。
Tripledent口香糖的广告曲在情绪总部里响了起来。我需要放口香糖广告曲了吗？怒怒生气了，伸手拍在控制台上，记忆球弹了出来。不管如何，在那儿更好。我就是这个意思。
没错，莱莉在明尼苏达州确实更快乐厌厌点点头说。
难道大家不可以把问题留到明天再解决？怕怕问道。
好啊，明天再解决吧。怒怒双臂交叉放在胸前，由于，嘿我相信愉快的、充满乐趣的时光就要到来了。
莱莉在我们的卧室里慢慢进入梦乡。
莱莉睡着后，大脑世界由白天变成黑夜，思想火车也戛然而止。哈？乐乐疑惑不解，嘿！火车如何不动了？
莱莉睡觉了。火车司机说，大家也该休息了。
你的意思是说明早之前大家都得困在这儿？忧忧问道。
是的，她睡觉的时候思想火车是不运转的。兵兵回答。
噢，大家可等不了那样久！乐乐抱怨道。
