"You'll never defeat me, Dr. Porkchop," Woody shouted at the pig riding in his hovercraft high in the sky. Bullseye, Woody's trusty stead, galloped as fast as he could to keep up with the hovering ship above.
"Oh, yeah," the evil Dr. Porkchop taunted. "Why don't you try to get past…the Potato Heads!" He laughed maniacally as a corvette zoomed passed Bullseye and Woody. Mr. Potato Head wore an eye patch over his left eye while his wife, Mrs. Potato Head wore one over her right eye.
"Is that all you've got, Porkchop?" Woody asked with a laugh. This would be a breeze.
"We forgot to mention we have your round up buddy, Jessie," Mr. Potato Head pulled back a canvas tarp to reveal Jessie tied up in the backseat of the corvette.
"No, not Jessie," Woody said. He pulled one side of Bullseye's reigns and kicked to make Bullseye move faster and closer to the Potato Heads. Woody carefully tried to balance while standing on top of Bullseye, ready to leap onto the corvette to save Jessie. But the car made a sharp turn and Woody found himself freefalling off the cliff. This was it, Woody was done. That was until he was swooped up by none other than Buzz Lightyear.
"To infinity and beyond," he said carrying Woody through the sky until he was above the Potato Heads' car.
"Drop me, Buzz," Woody shouted. Buzz ignored his request and flew farther than the car was driving. "Buzz, what are you doing?"
"Trust me," Buzz said letting go of his grip on Woody.
"Buuuuuzzzz," Woody shouted as he fell through the sky. The car beneath him caught him perfectly and Woody found he had landed right beside Jessie. Her wrists were tied behind her back and tape was covering her mouth. Before Woody could get Jessie untied, Mrs. Potato Head began to beat Woody with her purse.
"You won't get away with this, cowboy," Mrs. Potato Head said as she smacked Woody with her purse.
"I may not, but my dinosaur will." Woody said. Like magic, Rex swooped in and gave a loud roar that blew off Mrs. Potato Head's parts. Her nose flew off the edge of the cliff along with her arms and hat. Only her eyes and feet were left. She watched in helpless horror as Rex almost swallowed her whole.
Woody tried to quickly untie the rope that held Jessie's wrists together. He looked over his shoulder at Mr. Potato Head trying to yank his wife from Rex's grip. Finally, the ropes were untangled and Jessie tore the tape off her mouth.
"Come on, Jessie," Woody said. He whistled for Bullseye who showed up beside the car. Woody hopped onto his horse and pulled Jessie with him. They watched the Potato Heads and the corvette crash into a boulder as they rode away. As Woody saved Jessie and rode to safety, Buzz was working on destroying Dr. Porkchop's hovercraft. He tricked the laser on the flying ship to destroy itself.
"Darn you, Buzz and Woody," were Dr. Porkchop's last words before his ship exploded. The blast knocked Jessie and Woody off of Bullseye. Jessie grabbed onto Woody for safety and once the dust subsided, they were unscathed from the whole ordeal.
"Woody," Jessie said. "You're my hero."
"Andy, lunchtime," Andy's mom, Ms. Davis, called from downstairs.
"Coming mom," Andy Davis said putting down his toys and shutting his bedroom door.
"Um, Jessie," Woody said once the coast was clear. "You can, uh, let go now,"
"Oh, right, sorry, Woody," Jessie said removing her arms from around Woody's neck.
"It's alright," Woody said standing up and dusting himself off. "No harm done."
"Oh, Woody," Bo Peep cooed. "One of my sheep is stuck in Slink. Will you help me?"
"Sure, Bo," Woody said. Jessie's spirits dropped as she watched Woody saunter over to Bo Peep. Bullseye nudged Jessie and she petted the top of his head.
"Oh, Bullseye," she sighed. "He's only got his eyes on one toy and sees me as just…a friend and that's all." Bullseye helped Jessie onto her feet and the two of them walked around Andy's room. She wasn't paying attention to where she was going and bumped into Buzz. "Oh, sorry, Buzz,"
"It's alright, Jessie," Buzz stuttered. Jessie noticed Mrs. Potato Head searching for nose and ears.
"Rex sure did a number on Mrs. Potato Head, didn't he?" Jessie said trying to make small talk.
"Yeah, he, uh, did," Buzz said uncomfortably. Jessie didn't like talking to Buzz. He always stuttered and acted nervous. It made Jessie uncomfortable. Jessie nodded and smiled before slipping away to Andy's desk. She climbed up the drawers and onto the open windowsill. The sweet breeze outside made thoughts of playtimes with Emily, her old owner, come to life. Jessie shook the bittersweet memories out of her mind and focused on a cat sniffing around outside.
"Jessie," someone's voice came from Andy's desk. She looked and saw Woody standing there looking worried. "Is something wrong?"
"No, I'm fine," Jessie answered.
"Are you sure?" Woody asked.
"Well, it's just that I don't have anyone really to talk to." Jessie explained.
"Sure you do," Woody said with an encouraging tone. "There's Bo and the Potato Heads and Buzz." Jessie scrunched up her face at Buzz's name.
"I'm not really comfortable talking to them." Jessie said.
"Well, you always have Bullseye." Woody said.
"Yeah, but he's not the best listener." Jessie said with a little giggle.
"You've got me to talk to," Woody said. Jessie's eyes flickered with delight.
"Thanks, Woody," Jessie said giving a warm smile.
"I'll be right down, mom," Andy's voice wafted through the hall and into his room. Jessie gasped and scrambled to get to the floor. Woody followed close behind her and they crashed to the floor, just the way Andy left them. Buster, Andy's dog, burst through the door and sniffed around the room. When he found Woody, Buster picked him up in his mouth and carried him off to Andy. "Wow, good dog, Buster," Once Andy's voice and Buster's barking were out of earshot, the toys came back to life.
"Oh, poor Woody," Bo said sadly. Jessie mimicked Bo mockingly and turned to Bullseye.
"He'll be fine, Bullseye," Jessie said noticing Bullseye's worried look. "Buster knows not to hurt him."
Late that night, Woody returned covered in dog slobber. Once Andy fell asleep, Woody was planning how to get himself washed off. "You could use the hose," Jessie suggested. "But you'll need at least three people."
"Then I'll take you and Buzz," Woody said. "As long as I can get clean. I'd take the whole toy box with me if I had to." Jessie, Woody, and Buzz snuck down the stairs avoiding sleeping Buster curled up on his bed near the fireplace. The toys quietly slipped through the dog door and down the walkway to the hose. Buzz pointed the hose towards Woody and Jessie used all her might to turn the knob. It only took second to rinse off the slobber on Woody.
"Woody, you're all wet," Jessie pointed out before they slipped back inside the house. Woody shook the water off himself, spraying his friends.
"Not anymore," Woody said with a grin. Jessie gave a laugh shaking the water off her arms.
I bet Bo has never had this much fun with Woody, Jessie thought as she, Buzz, and Woody returned to Andy's room for the night.
