Well, its official, my sister and I are obsessed with Toy Story right now and lately we have been admiring some of the very nice work done here in this area on this website! We have noticed that there are a lot of you guys who are putting up their own Buzz/Jessie stories and well, I guess that it is our turn! So, sit back, relax and we hope you enjoy!
"BUM BUM BUM! The race is about to begin!" Bonnie called out one summer day as she was playing in her driveway. "It's time to line up the competitors!" The four year old then proceeded to take Woody (who was seated on Bullseye) and Buzz (who was seated on Buttercup) and sat then next to each other in front of the racetrack that she had drawn on the driveway with chalk.
"We have two competitors so far, we need one more!" Bonnie yelled out as she looked at her toys, spotting Jessie, she walked over and picked her up. Looking more, Bonnie's face turned into something of a frown "Hmmm." She explained "I only have two horses. I guess that we'll just have to have two competitors this time." She sat Jessie down at the end of the row of toys that were already 'seated for the race' and quickly went back to Woody, Buzz, Bullseye and Buttercup.
"It's time for the race to begin!" Bonnie announced as she took a hold of the four toys that were competing. "On your marks, get set… GO!" At that Bonnie began running in circles along her track, screaming the entire way. "AAAnd the cowboys ahead by a few feet but then the space man manages to get ahead, but the cowboys ahead again, wow folks this is real close! The audience is very excited!" She then proceeded to quickly drop the four toys she was holding and then ran behind the row of toys that were watching and began to speak again.
"OOOH, WOOOW! We're so excited!" she made them say. She then quickly grabbed Dolly and held her up. "Uh oh! The evil witch has invaded the race! She wants to steal all the ponies for her sparkly glue factory!" Bonnie then quick picked Jessie up and spoke for her "OH NO! Not the glue factory! ANYTHING but the glue factory!" "BWA HA HA!" She had Dolly reply "Your ponies are going to be glue very soon, and then I will use the glue to make… MACARONI PICTURES!" After making the spectators give an audible gasp, she picked up Hamm and began speaking for him. "Now wait a minute, Witch… that glue stuff was MY idea! You stole it!" "Oh yeah, Evil Dr. Porkchop!" Bonnie had Dolly reply "Says who?" "Says ME!" Dr. Porkchop replied. Bonnie then began making them fight (basically hitting the toys with each other) not stopping until a voice came from inside the house.
"Bonnie! It's time for lunch sweetie! Then we're going to grandmas let's hurry up and bring everything inside, ok?" Mrs. Anderson called to her daughter.
"Ok mom!" Bonnie said as she quickly scooped up all her toys and ran them up to her room. "We'll continue this drama tomorrow!" She said excitedly as she ran downstairs.
As soon as Bonnie left the room, her toys came out of their usual frozen 'play' state and began moving around.
"Now that's what I call exciting!" Trixie said happily to Rex who was standing right next to her.
"I can't wait to hear what happens next!" Rex replied excitedly.
"Bah." Hamm replied "It'll be the usual, Buzz and or Woody and or Jessie will come in, stop us bad guys from whatever we were doing and save the day."
"Am I detecting a hint of jealousy?" Woody asked with an amused look on his face.
"No." Hamm replied "I'd just like to see the plotlines differ every once in a while that's all."
Woody was about to make a comment back to Hamm when he felt a bump on his back. He looked around to see Bullseye standing there with a worried look on his face.
"Hey there Bullseye!" Woody said to his pet "What's wrong boy?"
"Timmy fall in the well?" Mr. Potato Head asked as he walked past.
"Ha ha ha, very funny." Woody called to his friend who had made his way over to his family and was currently being bombarded by his three squeeze toy alien sons. As Woody was watching the somewhat cute scene, Bullseye grabbed Woody's hat and began running to the other side of the room.
"What the? My hat! Bullseye! Get over here!" Woody called as he began chasing after his mischievous horse. Bullseye made it about halfway across the room when Buzz jumped in front of him and took the hat.
"Here ya go, Pride!" Buzz said as Woody caught up, out of breath and took the hat back and put it on.
"Thanks Buzz." Woody said then turned over to face Bullseye who had a guilty look on his face "Bullseye…" Woody said "How many times have I told you, don't take my hat!" Bullseye just stood there, looking guiltily with his head hung low looking over at the window.
"I think he wants you guys to go up there." Buttercup said as he walked past, getting ready to join the card game of "war" that Slinky and Hamm were starting up, they already had a Scrabble letter holder set out for him to put his cards in. Buzz's eyes followed to where Bullseye was looking, which was up at the windowsill and saw that Jessie was sitting there, looking out the window and looking quite sad. Buzz and Woody shared a quick glance of agreement and jumped up there. Woody smirked at the fact that Buzz had come up with him, he knew his best friend was smitten with Jessie; it was only a matter of time before the Space Ranger got the courage to let her know. Woody wasn't worried about it though, it was equally obvious that Jessie was just as smitten with Buzz, but she was waiting for him to make the first move. Woody sighed; this was going to take a while.
Jessie looked over, saw that they were up there and turned back around.
"Jess." Woody groaned. He knew what this meant. Ever since he and Jessie had realized that they were siblings a few years ago, the two of them had been able to pick up on the signals that the other was giving. This time Jessie's signal was clear. 'Leave me alone.'
"Why don't I have a horse?" Jessie asked as she turned around to face the two friends.
"Uhh, huh?" Buzz said, thoroughly confused.
"You heard me." Jessie said with frustration in her voice "Why-Don't-I-Have-A-Horse? Woody has one, what about me?"
"Wait a minute Jessie, Bullseye's kinda yours too!" Woody said, trying to calm his sister down.
"Nuh Uh!" Jessie shot back "It says so right in the theme song. 'Bullseye, He's WOODY'S horse!'"
"Uhmmm." Woody replied, he didn't know what to say to that.
"Some cowgirl I am." Jessie said sadly as she looked out the window. "I don't even have a horse!"
"Where did this even come from anyway?" Buzz asked Woody, wondering when and why Jessie had suddenly gotten so upset about this fact.
"I didn't even get to play in the race…" Jessie said sadly.
"Hey if you want, when Bonnie starts it back up, you can ride on Buttercup." Buzz said, trying to help. A small smile came on Jessie's face.
"But I like seeing you ride him." She said trying to stifle a small laugh. "It's cute."
"I'm an intergalactic Space Ranger!" Buzz replied "I'm not supposed to be cute!"
"Either way, I want my own horse." Jessie said, stroking her braid, something she did when she was upset or uncomfortable. "Like you have Woody, heh, sometimes before you even came I'd pretend that Bullseye was my horse, but then you had to come along and claim him." She said with a huff.
"Is there anything we can do to make you feel better?" Buzz said as he sat down next to Jessie, putting one of his hands on her shoulder.
"Doubt it." Jessie said, putting her head on Buzz's shoulder "Unless you can magically make a horse appear outa thin air."
At that moment Totoro who was standing near the door on 'guard duty' began jumping up and down frantically, signaling that Bonnie was on her way upstairs. Instantly all the toys ran to where she had left them and went back to their 'frozen' state.
"All right guys! I'm going to my grandma's house for tonight, and I'll be back tomorrow morning so you guys better be good!" She quickly grabbed her overnight bag and then took Jessie and put her in it as well. "You can come along this time." Bonnie said "You haven't met my grandma yet BYE GUYS!" She called as she ran out the door and down the stairs.
Once she left the toys all began to sit up relieved that they had not been caught. Woody noticed that Buzz was pacing around the room with his hand to his chin, obviously coming up with a plan for something. Out of curiosity Woody walked up to figure out what his best friend was thinking.
"What you thinking about Buzz?" Woody asked him.
"Trying to come up with a way to make Jessie feel better." Buzz replied, not stopping in his pacing, causing Woody to have to walk along to keep up with him.
"Buzz, you heard her, the only way to make her feel better is to 'magically' make a horse appear!" Woody replied, trying to get his lovestruck friend out of this state of mind.
"Exactly!" Buzz replied "but how to do that?"
"Buzz!" Woody told him "You're not magical! You're a toy! We can't do magic!"
"I know." Buzz said with a hint of disappointment in his voice "I wasn't going to actually make one magically appear Woody." He said now looking at his friend with a 'are you an idiot?' look on his face.
"Then how are you going to get her a horse?" Woody asked him.
"I don't know." Buzz said sadly "But I know I have to do it."
"WHY!" Woody asked, not believing what was going on. Buzz stopped in his pacing and looked down at the ground.
"How long have I known her Woody?" He asked "Nine, Ten years?"
"Yeah, I-I suppose so." Woody replied, not exactly sure where his friend was going with this.
"Woody" Buzz said, looking obviously uncomfortable "I have been in love with your sister for some time now, ever since I met her in fact… and well, after so long I've yet to tell her how I feel."
"I KNEW IT!" Woody beamed, causing Buzz to flinch. "I KNEW you loved her! Oh this is going to be so great! My best friend and my little sister!" Woody audibly gasped in excitement and then jumped up, putting one of his hands on Buzz's shoulder "BUZZ! You might end up being my brother!"
"Whoah!" Buzz said, smirking, he knew the Pride siblings, and they both had a terrible knack of getting overly excited (or overly upset) about things. "Calm down there sheriff." Woody smiled and took some deep breaths, trying to compose himself.
"Ok." Woody said smiling to himself once he had calmed down. "I'm good now, sorry about that."
"It's ok." Buzz said "Anyway, as I was saying. It's been a long time, and I have yet to tell her how I feel. And compared to you and Bo…" Buzz stopped right there, he knew instantly by the saddened look on Woody's face that he had made a mistake. Bo had been sold at a yard sale about five years prior and well, Woody had yet to really get over losing the love of his life.
"Yeah…" Woody said sadly, "Go on."
"Well, you told her how you felt quite quickly and well… It's sort of an inspiration to me." Buzz said smiling, hoping that perhaps he could cheer his friend back up.
"And?" Woody asked, a bit ashamed. To tell the truth, that story that he had told Buzz was not exactly true. In reality, Bo had been the one to tell Woody how she felt first, instead of the other way around which Woody had told Buzz in hopes of convincing his friend of fessing up sooner (and to make him seem a bit more macho too).
"I think that it is high time that I fessed up to Jessie and told her exactly how I feel about her." Buzz said confidently "And getting her a horse is the perfect way to tell her exactly how much she means to me."
"But how are you going to get the horse!" Woody asked.
"That's the problem." Buzz said "I have no idea." Just then a piece of paper stuck in the side pocket of Bonnie's Sunnyside bag caught his eye. "Hey." He said "Did Ken send another letter?" Woody walked over and took the piece of paper out of the pocket.
"Looks like it." He said, recognizing the handwriting.
Buzz briskly strode over and stood behind Woody reading the letter over his friend's shoulder.
Hey guys!
Everything's super groovy here. The Sunnyside Boogie Bash was a hit! Everyone had a super time. Big Baby even found a Disco Diaper to wear! The kids have been busy making this super cool craft lately. It's pretty rad to watch.
There are a couple more residents here from when you guys were here last. Now there are 3 more trucks, 6 Hotwheels, a Pinto horse, and a couple Madame Alexander toys.
Barbie and I hope you guys are doing super well and Buzz- your dad says hi.
Hugs and Kisses,
Ken
Buzz smiled, He still had to get used to the peppiness of their new friend. Woody had stopped reading the letters out loud after realizing that Mr. Potato Head and Hamm were not just only laughing at the first few, that and the words just didn't sound right coming out of his mouth. Also, Buzz's father, Zurg, who had arrived at the daycare a few weeks after they had moved in with Bonnie had become sort of an extended member of their group. Every time Buzz went, he was always greeted by his 'retired' evil emperor father. The rest of the group loved it, especially Hamm and Mr. Potato Head who tookgreat joy in teasing Buzz about being a prince (which technically he was, his father being an emperor and all) calling him "Your Majesty" or "Prince Charming". But the best part about the letter… the Pinto. Buzz knew about these horses from Jessie who had seen a picture of one in a book that Molly Davis used to have and would gush about how beautiful they looked with their white and red coloring. These were Jessie's favorite type of horse, and as she had said 'much more me than a Palomino like Bullseye.' Woody noticed Buzz's grin and a worried look came on his face.
"Buzz, what are you thinking?" he asked worriedly.
"I'm going to Sunnyside." Buzz said determinedly.
There we go!
A big thanks to my sister for writing Ken's letter, did she nail it? I think she did!
Also, Pintos are TOTALLY Jessie's type of horse; look up pics of them online if you don't believe me.
We'll have the next chapter up as soon as it's ready, probably sometime in the next few days, see you then!
