Sheriff Woody had always taken good care of his town.
He had help from his bets friend Buzz, a intergalactic space ranger.
A space cowboy if you will.
His sister Jessie had helped take good care of the town for as long as he did.
But the Space cowboy and the Cowgirl fell in love and married.
But that is another story.
Our story is about a ulikely pair...
The Outlaw and The Sheriff.
It was a warm afternoon in Toyville and a nice breeze began to blow.
Woody had decided to go out to the mesa and maybe pick some herbs that Nurse Bo needed in the sick bay.
He got not that far out when he saw something staggering toward where him and his horse bullseye.
He then realized as the figure dropped to the ground, that who ever it was, was wounded.
He kicked his horse into a full out gallop and speed toward the person.
He jumped off his horse and bent down next to the fallen person.
He felt his breath catch in his throat as he stared down at the person lying on the ground before him.
The person was a girl.
She had very deep, dark blood red hair. He had a feeling that if she opened her eyes they would be green.
She was tall even though she was crumpled in a ball.
She had on a simple skirt and shirt that was stained with blood.
Her hands were curled around her stomach where the blood came from.
He was still staring at her when she opened her eyes.
"Well Cowboy, you gonna help me or watch me die?"
His guess was right. Her eyes were green, but a piercing green the same way that a boy with pale ice blue eyes can stare at you and make you feel as if your about to tell him everything about yourself.
But at the moment she was glaring daggers at him and he decided to not argue.
He picked her up as gentle as he could.
"Ow. You think you could not attempt to kill me anymore?"
"Sorry Ma'am."
Woody carried her over to Bullseye and set off towards Toyville.
Her red hair flew into his face every so often and for some reson, woody liked to see the red in his face.
Maybe it was crazy, but for some reason, woody felt like he had seen her before.
By the time he reached Toyville, Nurse Bo, His sister Jessie and Buzz the intergalactic space Cowboy were all standing waiting for Woody's return.
Bo and Jessie jumped into action as soon as they saw the girl.
They helped carry her into the sick house and put her in a bed.
But by then the girl was asleep.
So they began to treat her and the boys left the house.
Woody headed straight towards the jail house.
Buzz saw him moseying his way over and was soon next to him.
"Woah there Woody, you can't just go back to work now! This girl probably got attacked by a gang of thieves! Aren't you going to question her?"
"Buzz, she looks very familiar...i fell like i've seen her before."
And then he broke out into a run and was soon in his office.
When Buzz came in Woody was staring at the wall of wanted people.
"Woody?"
"Her name's Crystal Star. She's called "Hell Hearted" by the people she robs. She's been wanted for over 5 months now."
"She's a robber?"
"And she's also a skilled master of disguise and a very good shot with any gun, even a crossbow."
"Are you going to arrest her?"
"After they heal her, I'm going to."
When Crystal Star woke up her eyes were blurred.
As they cleared she saw sunlight shinning through a stained glass window and a vase of red and white roses in the far end of the room.
She tried to sit up but then she felt a pain in her stomach.
She winced and slowly sat up.
She looked to see Woody staring at her with a coolness in his eyes.
She sighed and looked at the roses.
"I suppose that you already know who I am?"
"Yes. Your Crystal Star. Your known as Hell Hearted and as-"
"H.H, the dreaded robber of the north prairie. I know. So, why are there roses in the room?"
"My sister and the main nurse brought them in. Though you'd like them."
"Roses are my favorite flowers. So, your going to arrest me?"
"Well after you get better I'm going to have to. Sorry."
"It's fine, not like it hasn't happened before. As long as I don't bleed to death in a jail cell."
"That won't happen, I assure you Ma'am."
"Cowboy, call me Star. Thats what everyone used to call me before I became a robber."
"Ok Ma- Star"
"Now I'm tired, you think I could sleep a little? And not in handcuffs?"
"Not in handcuffs, I promise."
"Thanks Sheriff."
And then Woody turned to leave. Star heard the deadbolt click in and footsteps walk away.
She turned to look at the door once and then rolled over.
"Nice to see you too...Woody."
And then she closed her eyes.
