Hello, everybody! It's been far too long since I've posted anything on Toy Story-I've been working a lot in Beauty and the Beast-, and I'm sorry. I don't own Toy Story or the original characters.

Okay, my other fanfic A Date with Justice MUST be finished before this story proceeds further, because of chronological order. And I intend to get back to it!

I have wanted to write my own version of Toy Story 4 before the film arrives in theaters, so that I don't copy it. Sadly, I don't have a full plot for this fanfic yet, except that Woody sets out to find his long lost love. I don't even have much body to it yet! Oh, one thing you could all help me with: in this fic, would you like there to be a villain, or only adverse circumstances? That's something I've been debating, maybe both. I haven't decided for sure.

I cannot promise when this fic will be updated as I need to finish A Date with Justice first, anyway. BUT, I'm posting this first chapter so that you'll know I have a Woody/Bo Peep love story on the way! Reviews would be great. This fanfic will be about family too, but this is definitely for Woody and Bo Peep!

The night I found out what Toy Story 4 was for sure going to be about, I was feeling very emotional after watching a disheartening episode of The Waltons, The Tempest episode, about Mary Ellen and her husband. I was so upset about how things turned out and was browsing the internet. I decided to type in Toy Story4 to see if there were any updates, and then I saw: "Toy Story4 Will Be a Love Story for Woody and Bo Peep." I was like, "What!?" I looked into it and became very excited. It just blessed and warmed my heart so much and I went to bed happy that night.

Yes, I have heard about the situation regarding John Lassetter. But I'm not going to choose sides, nor do I choose to discuss it, as they seem to be trying to handle it as they see best. In the mean time, I am looking forward to Toy Story 4 and hope they continue to work on it.

Please feel free to read my Beauty and the Beast fanfics! I have had a blast writing them!

Please read and enjoy! The other toys are still very important to Woody, but this chapter will exclusively be dedicated to Woody and Bo Peep.

Not a day went by that he didn't think of her. He didn't dwell on their past every moment of the day, he truly did live for the present. Yet, still, he thought of her every day. Some days more than others, some really happy, then some sadder and his longing for her felt cure-less. Sheriff Woody had his friends, his 'family' really, a wonderful, sweet owner in little Bonnie Anderson, and wonderful memories of their former happy life with Andy. Even though it was a rare occurrence, Woody and the others looked forward to the times when Andy would pay a visit to Bonnie and see how his toys were doing. All in all, Woody was happy and once again believed that he had a great life, for a toy, especially when others weren't so fortunate. Yet, through all of this, one deep longing ever lingered in his heart. Woody always remembered Bo Peep.

Bo Peep had been his first girlfriend, well, only girlfriend actually. And though they'd had their ups and downs, through the misunderstandings and disagreements, moments of cringing annoyance then merry laughter the next, in all of this Bo had almost always been what kept him from sinking down so low in his insecurities that he couldn't get back out. She could read him like many of the other toys couldn't, and could bring his thoughts out into the open when he couldn't or didn't want to find the words. She had been beautiful, not only with her shiny skin, blue eyes, and blonde curls, but also in her gentle, understanding manner which made her so much more of a treasure, to Woody and all the other toys. He was so handsome, and Bo had always thought so, no matter what other male toy she saw-well, except that time when Buzz first arrived-, but more than that, he had kind, caring eyes that warmed someone's heart when they saw him. He was her hero, in playtime and reality, the one who protected her, but also he was a gentleman. He treated her like a lady, not a prop on a shelf. He would do anything for her. That was Woody and that was Bo. They were made for each other.

It had been five years since that fateful day when they became separated, and Woody had gradually accepted the fact that they would never see each other again. But, he could never live with that fact without wondering what could've been different, what he could've done different that day to bring her back. Buzz and others had assured him that there was nothing he could've done to change their fate from that yard sale. And though he'd accepted that they were most likely right, he could never fully rid his mind of what he could've, and maybe should've done to get her back.

Throughout time, some like Hamm and Potato Head had tried to persuade Woody to find a different girl. After all, Bo was never coming back. The romantic companionship of another female did sound inviting and was even tempting, yet Woody could not bring himself to actually do it. Not when he remembered...he'd made a promise, and he was going to keep it. Sure, Dolly was fun to be around, had witty comebacks, was a good friend, and the two of them together made a good team. Yet...she wasn't Bo. Woody knew he shouldn't expect her to be, but there was just something in their friendship that wasn't enough to stir Woody on to stronger feelings. Okay, he was tempted here and there and he knew he would always care for Bo even if she found new happiness.

But...he'd made a promise, and Sheriff Woody Pride had not made it lightly either. The two of them had pledged their love to each other, briefly before Bo had been sold. He remembered that day. He'd promised to never be anybody's darling but Bo Peep's. He given his word from the bottom of his heart, and though it was painful, he'd resigned to keep his word, even if it meant being a bachelor lone ranger toy for the rest of his life. Though he tried to tell himself it would be okay if Bo turned to another male toy in her understandable loneliness, he still imagined how hurt he would be if he found that was true. Also, he imagined if Bo came back into his life and found him finding happiness with another girl. These imagined scenarios helped him stay strong in efforts to keep his promise.

And one thing he knew without a doubt, even if he was hurt again by it: even if they were never to meet again, she would always be in his heart.
