It was a while before they emerged from the box and Woody's face was covered in kisses again. It took even longer for them to reach the floor, being made of porcelain Bo had a lot of trouble being agile. When they did finally manage to get to the floor, using a rope ladder made of rubber bands, their plight really started. How were they ever going to get home again? Trixie wasn't there to help them with the computer and Woody wasn't even sure where they were. He beginning to think that maybe he should have made a more substantial plan that just we have to find Bo. Maybe something along the lines of we have to find Bo and then bring her home safely. Oh well, there was no time to worry about that now, they had a kid to get back to.
Woody was nothing if he wasn't resourceful, so by searching Maxine's bag for her Driver's License he was able to find out where they were and then by searching the phonebook for Sunnyside Day Care they found out where they had to go. Soon enough they had a map drawn up.
It wasn't all that far. Only eight blocks. They could make it on foot.
When they finally managed to get outside, which involved a pair of scissors, a bookmark and a desk lamp, they set out for Sunnyside Day Care. After a lot of pushing and shoving and hiding and creeping Woody checked his map. They had almost made it halfway down the first block and it was getting dark. This was going to take a lot longer than he had expected.
Three days of tiptoeing through bushes and three nights of running along sidewalks later and they saw the rainbow on the doors of Sunnyside Day Care. And now that the security was no longer as tight as Alcatraz they were easily able to get inside.
Once there it was simply a matter of getting cleaned up in the Barbie Dream House and waiting for Bonny to take them home.
The next day Bonny arrived and she wasn't her usually cheerful self. She was still upset over losing her cowboy. After she hung her bag on the peg she shuffled away to play with the purple octopus she liked so much. Once she was out of site Woody and Bo unzipped the backpack and climbed in underneath her sandwich. Then they were safely carried home.
When they got home again the greeting they received was warmer than a soldier returning from battle. The other toys had almost given up hope that Woody would ever return and they certainly didn't think they would ever see Bo again.
The only problem that then remained was getting Bonny to find them somewhere unsuspicious. But that was easy too, they merely wrapped themselves up in her Easter hat and the next day when Bonny's mother told her to put it away for the fifth time and as she picked it up why who was to fall out but her favourite cowboy and who else was nestled inside the tissue paper? A porcelain Bo Peep doll.
Bonny's face was priceless.
