Imagine one of your most cherished dreams come true: Pain has vanished from the world! Pain's Vacation tells such a tale: Pain's feelings are hurt by the incessant teasing of some of the negative emotions (Fear, Envy, Anger and Hatred), who insist that she is a control freak and that all she does is interfere with their job performance. She decides to teach them a lesson and show them how essential she is to their effectiveness in their jobs. Her plan is to take a vacation (though she tells them that she quit) until they realize how much they need her. When they beg her to return, she will have had her revenge. However, her departure has paved the way for a diabolic entity, which calls itself, Vacuity, to emerge. Vacuity is the antithesis of all emotion, and its goal is to rid the world of the remaining emotions, one by one by one. How? By severing the lights linking the emotions to their clients. And why does God allow such awful things to happen to the emotions? Pain tries to figure this out as she attempts to get rid of Vacuity, save her friends and regain her rightful place as an emotion, a task made none too easy by Vacuity's uncanny ability of preventing her from doing this.
