Hey-howdy-hey readers! I, like most of you, just recently saw Toy Story 3 and FELL IN LOVE WITH IT! I've been reading a lot of the other fanfics and decided to write my own. This was originally going to be a one-shot. But I might make it a two-fer… or just a whole darn story all together! I hope you all enjoy! This is the first time I've ever written a Toy Story fic! :)
I'll Always Take Care of You
Chapter 1
...
Over the weeks after gaining a new home with Bonnie, Andy's old toys became quickly adjusted. Having not had any leadership before, Bonnie's toys had elected Woody and Buzz to continue their roles over their friends, but also over Bonnie's room as well. It did not take long, with the help of Dolly and Buttercup, for the two pals to learn the layout of the house and its schedule.
Along with the new friendships, another relationship was also slowly being formed. Since their *ahem* adventure to and from Sunnyside, Buzz was less nervous around Jessie. He was able to speak to her without stuttering…well most of the time. And he became accustomed to holding her hand as they walked together or rode somewhere in Bonnie's backpack. Ever since their near death in the incinerator, Buzz felt very protective of the red-headed cowgirl. But he still had yet to admit those feelings aloud to anyone.
It was a bright sunny Sunday morning when Bonnie ran into her room.
"Guess what! Guess what! I'm goin' to Gramma's house! And Mom says I can bring some of you along!" She scanned the toys she had line across her bed. "Hmmm….a-ha!" She grabbed Woody and Buzz. "Everyone else…be good."
And with that Bonnie ran from her room, the door closing behind her. The two friends spent the entire day fighting the "evil ghosts" hiding in Bonnie's grandmother's closet. By sundown the little girl had fallen asleep and her father gently carried her to the car, the toys wrapped in her arms.
"So have you told Bonnie about the move yet?" her grandmother's question struck a chord in both Woody and Buzz, the two of them trying not to show their worry as they stole a quick glance to one another.
"No. We plan to tomorrow morning." Her father whispered quietly so as not to wake Bonnie.
"Tomorrow? But you move in a week! Has she even seen the for sale sign?"
"She hasn't been outside yet, what with the rain this past week. We were surprised the house sold so quickly." He set Bonnie into her car-seat, resting Buzz and Woody on the seat next to her. They remained in their frozen states, watching as her parents then loaded in crates and cardboard boxes into the back of the car. Woody strained to hear the voices of the adults through the closed car, putting his expression back into place as the doors were open.
"Well good luck. Call us if you need anything!" her grandmother waved them off as Bonnie's parents lead the car back home.
...
"Moving?"
"Keep your voice down Buzz! Do you want to wake up everyone else? It's the middle of the night!" Buzz sighed heavily, sitting down on a toy block in the closet he and Woody had hidden in, his glow-in-the-dark chest giving the only illumination.
"We've been through this before Buzz. But Bonnie's toys haven't. We'll have to keep our heads on straight to help them out. Hamm and Slink and the rest have been through this before..and the move from Andy's house went just fine..." Woody ignored Buzz's obvious snort and continued on, "But some of the others might get scared…Buttercup and Pricklepants-"
"-And Jessie."
"Right and-" Woody stopped mid-sentence and looked at Buzz, eyes wide. "Well who'd-a-thunk? Buzz Lightyear, I do declare, you're in love."
"What?" Buzz stood up, mouth opening and closing. He saw the smirk placed on his best friend's face and sat back down, sighing heavily. "I just want her to be safe. W-When I almost lost her in that incinerator...Well…It scared me half to death Woody." He looked up to the cowboy, eyes lined with concern. Woody placed a gentle hand on his friend's shoulder. I know partner… I know. Well we'd better get back to bed, before anyone wakes up and realizes we're gone. We'll figure out how to tell them in the morning."
Buzz nodded, following his friend out of the closet and into the dim glow of Bonnie's nightlight. The carefully climbed back onto the bed and to the spots they had climbed from. Woody laid down, his back to Buzz and drifted off to sleep. Buzz however stayed awake a few moments longer, watching the red-headed cowgirl sleep peacefully, and arm resting on Bullseye's side. Buzz smiled softly, his chest swelling. He smirked once more as he confirmed that Woody was indeed correct. He shook his head with a quiet chuckle and lay down, falling into an easy sleep.
