Well, "Loved" was a huge success, and I did mention I would make a story after it, one where Lotso and his friends go on an adventure. :)

Please read and review!

The bear adjusted his glasses as he peered at his clipboard. Then he casted a glance down at his timid patient. "Well, Gumby, seems you got yourself a problem..." He didn't bother to hide his sadistic smirk.

The green figure of clay nearly jumped in his hospital bed. "P-problem? What problem, Dr. Home?"

"Well, for starters, you look like you're wearing yellow lipstick," the bear remarked with a throaty chuckle as he pointed at Gumby's lips shaped of yellow clay. "Second, you got candy-itis..."

"Well, these lips are a family trait..." Gumby began. Suddenly, his eyes grew wide as he took in the second bit of the bear's statement. "Candy-itis?"

"Right, I'd lay off the Twizzlers for a while if I were you," the doctor suggested blandly.

"Home!" In burst no other than Nurse Purry.

Dr. Home turned and casted an annoyed glance at the fuming stuffed cat. "What is it, Purry?" His voice droned.

The cat angrily shoved a paper in his face. "One of the patients is filing a lawsuit that you were eating off his lunches while he slept!"

"Hey, the guy's fat," the bear joked, "I was doing him a favor."

"Uh, Home..." Purry groaned. "You are such a-"

"Ruby?"

The young blonde girl turned from her toys as she saw her mother poke her head into her room. "Yeah, mom?"

"Hey, got everything packed?" Her mother asked as she stepped into the room, gazing at her daughter's flower-printed luggage on her bed.

"Got all my clothes and books!" Ruby said proudly.

"Good girl," her mother smiled. She looked over at the toys in her hand. "And remember Ruby, you can only bring a few of your toys. Don't want them to get lost in Europe." She checked her watch. "Oh, the pies are done. How about you be my taste-tester?"

"Yum!" Ruby smiled before she dropped her toys and went with her mother.

Once their footsteps faded into the hall, the toys slowly emerged from their 'frozen posture', excitedly talking about the playtime they just endured as well as what Nurse Purry and Dr. Home would be arguing about next.

Lotso smiled as he looked toward the door where Ruby and her mother left. "Ruby better be careful with those pies," he chuckled, "don't want her having to squeeze into her flowergirl dress."

"I thought we were done with the Dr. Home act," Purry the stuffed cat chuckled as she strolled on all fours toward him, flickering her tail. "Hey, don't worry about Ruby. She's as fit as volleyball star."

"But she's into baseball," Rtiz, the mouse clock, corrected, wrinkling her plastic whiskers as she patted her stomach, which was the clock. "Her time has always been for baseball, not volleyball."

"It's just a figure of speech, Ritz," Lotso chuckled, rolling his eyes.

"Can you believe it?" Gumby exclaimed as he smoothed the top of his head. "France! We're going to France!"

"Easy, play-doh," Purry chuckled, "the family ain't going just for a fun goings-on; remember, Ruby's aunt is getting married and the wedding is taking place in Paris."

"Oh, how romantic!" Ritz swooned as she twirled around. "The city of love!"

The other toys watched as Ritz danced around like a ballerina, then taking Gumby as her partner and twirling him around as well. Lotso stood by Purry as they watched the duo perform. Lotso smiled to himself, remembering all to well how Ritz not only loved to talk about time but also loved to dance. And Gumby, ever the flamboyant toy our of the bunch, loved to show off his moves, even when they seemed kind of ridiculous but funny.

He couldn't believe it had only been a month since he had been brought to this wonderful life...after he had been reunited with Daisy...after he had encountered with Woody and his friends...after the reign of his tyranny ended back in Sunnyside...

Truthfully, those memories still haunted him a bit, but he was able to shake the feelings of guilt aside, knowing he was redeemed. Given a second chance. And while the other toys are clueless of his past, his stuffed cat friend kept his secret safe.

Purry.

The bear casted a friendly smile at the stuffed cat as she lay on her stomach, idly flicking her tail as they continued watching Ritz and Gumby dance. Purry was a wonderful toy, and a great friend. The only one who knew of the wrong he had done, allowing him to decide when would be the best time for him to tell the others of his past broken self. She sympathized Lotso and talked him into taking mercy on himself when the bear thought he deserved no happiness after all the wrong he had done...she made him realize that he's changed, and has been given a life of happiness with the old toys he had been reunited with.

For a New Jersey toy, she was quite voice of reason. Had the accent for it too. Lotso enjoyed her New Jersey accent.

"Heard Ruby might dress you up for the wedding," Lotso brought up, smirking at his feline friend.

Purry's whiskers twitched nervously as she stared at the ground in embarrassment. "Don't go there, Lotso..." She warned.

"Oh, come on," he teased. "The outfit can't be that bad!"

"I can barely walk in it!" Purry retorted. "There are so many ruffles on it, it would make a tidal wave look like a dinky raindrop!"

Lotso chuckled at the image, but not as much as the image of Purry struggling to stand with her over-sized wedding attire.

"It ain't funny, Yogi!" She said sassily, her New Jersey accent becoming deep.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard and the toys immediately dropped down into a frozen. Ruby walked in, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, her stomach full of pie she had tried. She smiled as she picked up both Purry and Lotso.

"You two will be my guest best man and best woman!" She said excitedly. "That means you two have to accompany the bride. My Aunt Deb." And she rushed over and plopped herself unto her bed next to her luggage. "Just think..." She sighed as she held her two precious toys close. "Paris..."

Lotso and Purry casted their eyes up toward the fantasizing little girl, before they gave each other knowing smiles.

"Your plane for Paris, France has now arrived..."

Ruby and her family immediately got up from their seats and followed the line of people who were also boarding the plane for Paris. Ruby clutched onto her mother's hand as she had a grip on her Barbie backpack with her other.

Inside were the few toys she had decided to bring along for the trip: Lotso, Purry, Gumby, and Ritz.

"We're going to Paris!" Ritz exclaimed excitedly, feeling her 'heart' tick faster.

"Calm down," Lotso chuckled. He reached over to the zipper and pulled it slightly, revealing a glint of light from the outside. "Yup, we're in."

"Yay!" Ritz exclaimed happily.

Ruby sat between her mother and father and plopped her backpack down on the floor rather roughly, which created quite an impact for the toys inside. The four toys stumbled over before they hit the ground. Lotso shook her head after hitting it, then he felt something against his stomach.

He looked over to see it was Purry.

"Uh, yeah..." Purry said in a nervous tone, wrinkling her whiskers in embarrassment. "This is a tight spot..." She gave him a nervous smile.

"Better get used to it..." Gumby sighed, now having Ritz atop his back. "It'll be ten hours of this..."

"I'm okay with that..." Lotso said with a shrug before he casted Purry an assuring smile.

"Yeah..." Purry chuckled nervously, having no choice but to rest her head atop his belly. "I guess I can, too..."

"Yay, we're going to Paris!" Ritz exclaimed happily.

"Rtiz, zip it!" Gumby told her.

By the way, Ruby's Aunt Deb...she's named after Deb from Finding Nemo, which I'm sure you remember as one of Pixar's films. ;)
