Set between Ts2 and Ts3. Inspired by PoetLauries story a common bond. It seems like everyone in the fandom believes one of two theories on Bo's absence in Ts3. Being the hopeless romantic I am I want to tinker with theories so I can find a few that will leave the possibility of Bo and Woody reuniting. Here's the one inspired by PL.
With the humans away on a month long summer vacation the toys had a nearly free reign of the house. There was of course a woman coming by each day to look after Buster.
The woman was a friend of Andy's mother. Apparently she ran the day care Molly used to go to.
For simplicities sake Andy's mom had both of her children take one toy. Molly took her brand new Barbie doll while Andy brought along Woody.
This left a few toys a bit sad and one lamp fixture in particular was feeling a bit lonely.
Until that is the quiet peace of the household was broken along with the back window.
Two fairly young men in ski masks scampered in. One wore a black t-shirt with a classic pirates skull and bone symbol on it. The other wore a purple turtle neck.
The boy in purple scoffed at his friend. "What the hell man? What are you filming this for?"
"Just incase..." His fellow saboteur replied shakily.
The first boy muttered something obscene under his breath. "Think we can lift that tv?"
Camera boy nodded vigorously and they began loading the tv through the window.
Upstairs in Andy's room hysteria was setting in.
Buzz tried in vain to calm or at least quiet the crowd. Standing on top of Andy's nightstand he hollered, "Do not panic! I repeat do not panic!"
Rex stopped a moment to look at him incredulously. "How can we not panic! We're all about to be stolen!"
"No ones getting stolen! Listen to me!" Buzz pleaded.
"Easy for you to say astronut! You're not full of cash!" Hamm retorted.
Jessie slid down the string attached to the blinds. With her vantage point over the back yard having given her a literal window into the happenstance. She made her way to Buzz's side on the nightstand. She whistled loudly.
"Now y'all listen and y'all listen good. We got a couple bandits downstairs stealing from our home. Are we gonna panic and let it happen or are we gonna fight those varmints!?"
"Fight them?" Mr. Potato head asked incredulously. "Does that yarn go all the way into your head?!"
Quick to latch onto the possibility of a war the General of the army men pushed open the lid to their container. "Awaiting orders for dealing with inseargeants, ma'am!"
Jessie smiled an idea seeming to come to mind.
Purple shirt once again rolled his eyes at his partner in crime.
Skull and cross and bones had suddenly stiffened. "No I'm serious I heard a whistle from upstairs!"
"Sure you did. Now why don't you go check it out? I'll keep looking for valuables down here."
"Are you kidding me?"
"What are you? Some kind of wuss? Go upstairs and don't come back until you have something we can sell!"
With that purple shirt turned his back on skull and bones in search of items of desire.
Holding his phone in front of him Skull and bones cautiously made his way upstairs. The first room he neared was a pink bubble gum. He was too frightened to enter however. Doll after doll was strewn about.
Stuffed toys of all kinds lined the bed. Slowly he backed away. There was nothing in there but girlish toys. Surly It'd be fine to skip this room.
The next room also looked like a childs room, but was empty of toys save for three army men. One looking through goggles aimed straight at him. He gulped and aimed his phones camera at them.
Something moved on the other side of the room and he quickly twisted his body to see and film it. Nothing was there and we he turned back to look at the soldiers they were gone.
Where's Buster? Will the thieves be caught? What will happen to Bo and how will Woody and the Davis's react to the robbery?
