something that you loved. It’s gone…forever.”
    Oh, great. That’s just what Bing Bong needed—something to make him feel even worse.
    “It’s all I had left of Riley,” Bing Bong said.
    “I bet you and Riley had great adventures,” Sadness said, once again reminding him how much he’d lost. Honestly, she does not understand how to be
positive
!
    “They were wonderful,” Bing Bong agreed. “Once we flew back in time. We had breakfast twice that day.”
    “That sounds amazing,” Sadness said. “I bet Riley liked it.”
    “Oh, she did,” Bing Bong said. “We were best friends.”
    Then Bing Bong started to cry. His candy tears weren’t so bad…actually, they were kind of delicious…but still! What was Sadness thinking? Why had she made him cry?
    “Yeah, it’s sad,” Sadness said.
    Bing Bong put his head on Sadness’s shoulder, and the candy tears started to pour.
    Sadness kept her arm around him while he cried. Eventually, he sat back up, sniffling and blinking.
    “I’m okay now. C’mon, the train station is this way,” said Bing Bong.
    My jaw dropped open. How did that happen? How did
crying
motivate Bing Bong to help us get back to Headquarters? As Sadness and I followed him, I pulled her aside and asked, “How
did you do that?”
    “I don’t know,” Sadness said. “He was sad. So I listened—”
    “Hey!” Bing Bong shouted. “There’s the train!”
    Sadness and I ran to catch up with him. The Train of Thought was right there at the station, and we climbed aboard just as it started up. We were on our way, and everything was going to work out
perfectly.
    At least, it
would have
worked out perfectly if the train hadn’t stopped when we were only halfway through the long ride to Headquarters.
    “Hey, hey!” I called to the engineer. “Why aren’t we moving?”
    “Riley’s gone to sleep,” the engineer said. “We’re all on break.”
    “Oh, yeah,” Bing Bong remembered. “The Train of Thought doesn’t run while she’s asleep.”
    “You mean we’re stuck here until morning?” Sadness wailed.
    “We can’t wait that long!” I said. But a second later, I had a great idea—we could wake Riley up! Or maybe Sadness had the idea, but I don’t think so. I think it
was mine. Either way, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is the idea was terrific. So Sadness, Bing Bong, and I got off the train and walked onto the lot of Dream Productions. I was super
excited. Like I said, I’d
always
been a huge fan of Dream Productions, and there I was! I saw lots of big studio buildings, actors walking around in costumes, golf carts zipping this
way and that. I even recognized the guy who played Riley’s hockey coach in her favorite recurring Olympics dream!
    Then it got even better. I saw a giant white horse-creature with a pink horn. She sat in a director’s chair sipping a latte. I grabbed Bing Bong’s arm. “Rainbow Unicorn!
She’s
right there
!”
    I didn’t want to make a big fuss and embarrass her, so I just gave her a little nod as we walked by, but Sadness went right up to her.
    “My friend says you’re famous,” she said. “She wants your autograph.”
    Again with the embarrassing! I pulled Sadness away and kept on walking—but not before Rainbow Unicorn and I had a great moment together, where I told her how amazing she was and she really
appreciated it. We’re definitely friends now.
    Soon we came to a large building that said STAGE B . There was a red flashing light on the building and a sign that said DO NOT ENTER WHEN LIGHT IS
FLASHING .
    “Huh,” Bing Bong said. “Wonder what that means. Ah well, let’s go in.”
    We went into the room and it looked so exciting! People were running everywhere, working cameras, carrying script pages, focusing lights. It was show business in action! Sadness, Bing Bong, and
I hid behind a costume rack as we decided what to do. “How are we gonna wake her up?” I asked.
    “Well,” Sadness said, “she wakes up
