Once again, it was all quiet in the Davis household, save for the old ticking downstairs clock of course.

Bo looked around the empty living room. She inhaled. "Mmm, it smells nice in here. Like strawberries."

"Hmm, oh yeah," Woody said absently. "Mom just replaced the plug in air freshener thingy tonight. Personally I like the Clean Linen one better...Whoa!" He held on to his hat as Bo's crook circled his neck and dragged him backwards. In a moment they were face to face. He smiled bashfully at her impish grin.

The Cowboy's eyes lit up. "Just a sec!" He darted to the stereo. As he struggled to pull its bulky black remote from where it was stuck between the appliance and the cabinet, Bo giggled. He was cute when he got all excited.

Woody finally freed the remote and placed it on the carpet. With a grin, he pressed the button with his boot...

"I'VE GOT NO STRINGS TO HOLD ME DOWN!

TO MAKE ME FRET OR MAKE ME..."

Panicked, Woody stomped on the button again. "Uh, w-wrong disc."

Bo giggled at his flustered face.

This time, Woody carefully pressed the button marked 'Disc 2.' This time, drums and piano began to play in harmony:

"Pull the string and I'll wink at you...

I'm your puppet..."

In a quick moment, Bo was by Woody, leading him by the hands to the center of the living room. She put her arms around his neck and began to lead him in dance...

"I'll do funny things if you want me to...

I'm your puppet..."


Outside of the living room, two more toys jostled and squeezed as they tried to get a better look through the crack of the slightly open door. "A-are you sure we should be doing this?" Buzz whispered. The truth was they had come down to watch 'Star Trek IV' on late night TV, but had stopped upon finding the room already preoccupied. "Spying on our friends doesn't feel very nice."

"We'll leave if they start gettin' too mushy," Jessie whispered back. She smirked. "Lookit Skinny Britches. Who knew he had it in him?"

"Yeah," Buzz agreed. "It's like he's a whole different toy."

Jessie suddenly looked up at him and he froze. Inside the music continued to play:

"I'm just a toy, just a funny boy...

That makes you laugh when you're blue...

I'll be wonderful, do just what I'm told..."

Jessie stood up straight. "Buzz..." she said almost breathlessly.

"Uh, Jess?"

The two stared at each other for a moment. Then without even looking, Jessie punched the living door, causing it to swing inward and bang against the sofa.

"GET OFF MY SISTERRRR!" She bellowed. Then with a full on evil grin she ran for the stairs.

"Wha-What?" Buzz could barely comprehend what had just happened but he knew he didn't want to be around for the aftermath. "Hey wait for me!"

Woody ran out of the living room and into the hall. He looked around, seething. "I'm gonna kill her..."

Bo followed. "Kill her tomorrow, Cowboy. Stay with me tonight." The anger melted from his face. He smiled as Bo hooked him with her crook and dragged him back inside.

"I'm your puppet..."
