Thanks all for the comments and reviews and support, you guys have made me wanna write loads more fics! Working on a new video too, bit different but we'll see!

Hope you like this chapter, thought it came out better than I expected! :)

Warning: Cliffhanger!

"And then I saw this one thing that said 'Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway' mom I want to be a cowboy like John Wayne when I grow up!" Andy said as they entered the complex room they were staying in.

Andy put Woody and his bag down on the floor and he and his mom went straight back out for dinner. Woody was relieved to just NOT be doing anything this particular evening, they'd been non stop since they got here five days ago.

"Man if I wouldn't know better I'd swear Hamm had just fallen on my head." Woody rubbed the back of his neck the cracked it a little before standing up and walking across the large room. Pulling himself up on to the couch he laid back and got comfy in the cushions.

This whole trip had been an emotional rollercoaster for Woody; he'd spent every second enjoying Andy's company, all the while thinking back to what he and Buzz were talking about the night before he left on the conservatory roof.

"Please god, don't let Andy grow up." Woody whispered, knowing it was all in vain. Andy was becoming more and more a young man now and no amount of playtime would cure the urge to go out to college and grow and learn, human kids were immensely loving creatures, but they had one heck of an effect on his heart strings and he didn't mean his pull ring.

Woody tried not to think about it too much, instead he thought back to Buzz, their love and how much he missed him. "I wonder what he's up to." Woody asked aloud, wishing he could pick up the telephone and ring them, like he would even know the number and they'd even think it was him.

He laughed slightly at the thought of Buzz daring Mr. Potatohead to jump out of the window with a parachute, he could just imagine the weird things they were getting up to, stuff that probably would annoy the heck out of Woody, but they found absolutely hilarious.

Sighing he cuddled up to the pillow, wishing Buzz was there instead, he didn't think he'd have had time to miss Buzz, but all the while when he did things with Andy, he wished Buzz and the others, particularly Jessie would have been there to see it. He still needed to bring home a few souvenirs if he could sneak them into Andy's backpack before the end of tomorrow.

"Guess I should get some shut eye before Andy gets back." He said out loud, wishing there was a reply.

"I hope Buzz is alright." Jessie pondered as she never left the windowsill, she was watching for the woman anxiously and hoping that the pair would return with Buzz in tow, but they never did. The toys had figured she'd come to feed, water and walk Buster, so far they weren't doing a very good job.

Other people were coming to look after him and it seemed they'd be doing it again tonight if the little boy's comments would be anything to go by. It was late and the toys were anxious. "What time is it?" Jessie called down and Rex answered.

"11:45pm."

"He's not coming." Jessie said dejectedly, Bo touched her shoulder.

"Try not to worry; Woody will be home tomorrow he'll sort it out."

"I could have followed them on the night and probably found Buzz by now if you'd let me go!" Jessie said angrily, shoving Bo's hand away.

"I'm sorry Jessie."

"Its okay, Bo, I'm not angry at you, I'm angry at me for not following my instinct. You were right, I wouldn't have caught up with them, I just wonder why Buzz isn't home yet, if Buzz was trying to escape then he'd get away eventually, maybe Buzz likes this new boy more than Andy?"

"Never!" Bo shushed her and took her a little further away from the toys.

"You shouldn't say that in front of them…They might start getting paranoid."

"But Bo, Woody won't know where to look either, he wasn't even here. Where do we start?"

"I don't know Jessie, but I've known Woody a long time and I know he loves Buzz and wont give up looking for him until he finds a way of getting him back to Andy's room."

"Well when Woody does come back I'll make sure I tell him that you're coming with us."

"Me? Where?"

"To find Buzz, your just as much a part of this mess as anyone else, you should live up to what you speak for once in a while!"

"But…"

"No butts, it's about time you thought of someone other than yourself Bo." Jessie moved away from her and back to the window, still no sign of the little boy and his mom.

Bo followed Jessie with her eyes, incredibly nervous and twitchy, how would she fair out there in the big wide open world? She was terrified at just thought, she couldn't face any kind of reality that didn't have four walls and a safe haven.

Walking over to the edge of the desk she clambered down slowly and walked the floor to the other side and then back again, then back again, then back again…

"For crying out loud!" Hamm said over the edge of Andy's bed.

"If it's not Buzz Lightyear it Bo Peep. And your shoes are even more annoying!"

"Pardon?"

"Stop pacing would ya!" Hamm said annoyed and stopped leaning over the edge.

Bo sighed and sat down, leaning against the bed post. Maybe if she'd just kept her mouth shut, Jessie would have gone on some heroic journey and failed to save Buzz and would be wallowing in self pity, not having enough time to think about why Bo should join the rescue effort.

If she knew Woody though, he'd never ever let her go on a rescue mission, he never had before and she never volunteered, it was way out of her depths and he knew it, he'd never let go…Or would he?

Ever since Buzz had been gone, the next in line to throne had been shone in her direction; she was the next more suitable leader rather than Jessie who hadn't been here that long. She was finding it hard to even do half the stuff that Woody had asked Buzz to do before he left, even though everything looked dark and gloomy at the moment, she wanted everything to be tidy and clean for Woody's return in the afternoon of tomorrow.

Woody was going to be so mad…

"Mom, mom can we get dinner at pizza planet!" Andy asked as they excitedly went past the building on their way home. His mom thought about it for a minute, Woody was praying she'd say yes, he really wanted some alone time with Buzz and the other toys.

"Okay, we'll go, but were not staying long Andy, mom's tired and Molly's needs her afternoon kip too."

"Thanks mom!" Andy said excitedly. They arrived at their house promptly 10 minutes later and Andy took his things upstairs, Woody included, Andy set him down on the desk and ran out of the room, down the stairs and out the front door with Molly and his mother.

When the coast was clear, Woody let out a sigh and jumped off the desk, looking around.

"Hey everyone I'm back!" They began to gather round.

"What did you bring us?" Rex asked. "Oh…" Rex hushed himself as the group remained silent around him. Woody instantly knew something was wrong and when he couldn't find Buzz in the crowd his heart began pounding.

"Where's Buzz, Jessie?" His eyes fixed on her like razor blades.

"Well…We don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know? Where the heck is Buzz?"

"You see…There was this boy."

"Jessie…" Woody almost lost his cool.

"He came in out of nowhere with his mom, Woody and he toy-napped Buzz. He wasn't mean; he was going to bring him back yesterday but…"

"But?" Woody said staring at her incredulously.

"But he never came, some man did and we don't know where Buzz is…" Jessie's face became solemn. "I'm sorry Woody."

Woody looked around the toys, unable to believe they stood by and watched Buzz being taken away. "Didn't any of you try and stop him?"

"I did." Jessie perked up, looking to Bo silently and then back to Woody, Woody had a feeling Bo had something to do with this.

"Go on…" Woody said looking in Bo's direction. She lowered her head, looking at the ground the whole time she spoke.

"Bullseye and Buster were behind the door, there was no way to get to them quick enough to get to the lady and the boy who'd walked off down the street and around the corner. It didn't make sense for Jessie to go on foot; she'd never have caught up with them. So I told her to wait for you and maybe the boy would bring him back Saturday."

"But he didn't…"

"No Woody I'm sorry…" Bo shied away and Woody sighed looking around at all the toys. "Cant leave you guys alone for five minutes." He half smiled; they were just amazed he wasn't seriously ticked off.

"Let's wait till Andy comes back, he might give us a clue about who this lady and boy might be when he can't find Buzz."

"And what if he doesn't Woody? How we gonna find Buzz?" Slinky asked.

"I'll find him." Woody stated, there was no way Woody would ever give up on looking for Buzz.

As the afternoon passed and evening broke, Woody had been going over every last detail of the event with every toy in the room, where they were, what they saw, did they recognise him? Even though he wanted Buzz to be home more than anything, he also knew that he couldn't jeopardise the toys safety.

"Bo and I are coming with ya to find Buzz." Jessie said as she and a trailing Bo came into the group consisting of Mr. Potatohead, Rex and Hamm. Woody looked to Jessie then Bo, who looked like she was being lead to the big toy dumpster.

"Its probably best if you don't." Woody stood up straight and walked to them.

"Thank you." Bo whispered to the ceiling.

"Woody are you calling me a gurly girl?" Jessie got uptight, Bo whished she'd be done with it and leave it well alone.

"Jessie you know I wouldn't dream it. I just don't see the need when the guys and I can handle it. We need someone here to keep Andy busy whilst we're away and I know the rootinst tootinist cowgirl in the west is perfect for the job!"

"You bring him back in one piece ya hear?" Jessie smirked, hands on hips. "You take Bullseye too."

"You'll be sure of it." Woody laughed and Jessie began to walk away. Bo smiled happily and began to follow.

"Not you Bo, you're coming with us."

Bo froze.

"What?" She said slowly as she turned around. Woody was deadly serious.

"You helped create this mess and you can help clean it up."

"I did no such thing!"

"If Jessie had gone after Buzz that night, I have every faith in her that she would have caught him and got him back by now!"

"How was I supposed to…?"

"It's part of being a team Bo, a family. You should have seen Jessie jump off that airplane, that takes courage, I know she'd have brought him back and you should have too. Being third in command isn't just sitting back and watching me and Buzz doing the job."

Bo fell silent and nodded, she did take the job for granted, watching how easily Buzz and Woody made it seem she thought she didn't have much work to do, but when it came down to it, he was right in every sense, she just didn't have the guts.

"I'll come Woody." She looked up to him slowly.

"Good. Be ready to go when I give the word, which could be any time after Andy's in bed. Stay close to me and the guys and don't wander off." She nodded walking away. Woody felt like he was being a little harsh on Bo, she probably didn't really need to come but he wanted her to see first hand the mess that this was.

Woody and Buzz and the others had been in this situation before. But Bo had only ever watched from the sidelines, in some way if Woody could get her out there and doing the rescuing instead of the watching he hoped she'd learn a valuable lesson about courage and bravery in every situation, also about how close the group of toys actually were and the risks they would take to prove that.

Andy came home not long after Woody's chat with Bo, Woody heard him coming happily up the stairs, knowing he'd be heartbroken when he couldn't find Buzz that was the worst part of it all.

"Andy, get ready for bed please!" Mom called up the stairs as he came bounding into his room, Woody was exactly where he'd left him.

"Ready for some more adventures with Woody and Buzz Lightyear!" Woody was placed on top of Bullseye and moved around the room, making believe by Andy that he was riding the wind.

"Just time for one little quest before bed!" Andy laughed happily, getting all the toys in order. But when it came to Buzz, Andy couldn't find him.

"Mom where's Buzz?" Andy shouted, his mom came up the stairs and into his room.

"I don't know sweetie, where did you leave him?"

"Right here." He pointed to the box. "We were playing before we left and I left him right there." Andy wondered incredibly how his favourite toy next to Woody had gone.

"Maybe you left him downstairs?"

"No mom I had him right here, I left him right here I know it." Andy's mom shook her head.

"We'll find it in the morning sweetheart time to get ready for bed."

"But mom…"

"Come on…" She ushered him out the door slowly.

The toys in the meantime never moved, Andy would only be a minute or two and any more disturbances could make Andy question things, it was too risky.

Andy came back in with his mom, slowly in his Buzz Lightyear pyjamas. He climbed into bed and she tucked him in. "Try not to worry sweetheart, he'll be…"

"Mom?" Andy whispered as he cuddled up to Woody.

"Hey maybe Josh took him?"

"Oh no, not Josh." Andy sighed. "I'll never get him back."

"We'll go round and see them first thing in the morning; he's bound to have Buzz."

"But mom he's mean to me and his dad scares me."

"Josh and Rick?"

"Yeah, Josh doesn't let me play and Rick gives me funny looks."

"But Josh is such a sweet kid."

"Not to me."

"Well I'll be there the whole time." His mom said hushing him, trying not to press the issue of 'Rick' further, he was a very weird man. "Now its time for bed. I'll see you in the morning."

"But mom what about Buzz? Cant we go now?"

"Andy…" Mom said softly and turned off the light. "Sweet dreams."

Andy sighed and rolled onto his back, Woody would have more to do than he expected, for now he had to wait for Andy to drop off...

It'd been about two hours and it was extremely late at night, reaching almost two in the morning. Andy was tossing and turning and Woody knew he was loosing time, but Andy still hadn't dropped off to sleep.

He looked at the other toys on the ground, trying not to move too much. Just as he thought sleep had taken over Andy, Andy suddenly sat up and rubbed his eyes. Taking Woody in his hands he cuddled him to his chest and looked to him.

"I gotta find Buzz." Andy, dazed and sleepy spoke. As he got out of bed and crept around the room, Andy began to dress and Woody panicked.

What the heck was he doing? No! Andy couldn't go out in the middle of the night! What would happen to him! Where was he going? Woody desperately wanted to break the vow of silence but knew he didn't dare, it would ruin everything he and Andy shared.

In moments he was dressed and silently picked up his backpack. "Come on guys."

Andy bravely pushed Hamm, Bo and Mr. Potatohead into his backpack and zipped it up a little. Picking up Woody he gripped him gently around the waist and began to climb out of the window.

"We'll go find Buzz and get him back before mom wakes up." Andy whispered. His feet almost slipping on the wet roof. It had rained a little and his feet were sliding, Woody was shouting at him mentally to stop, but Andy carried on.

This was bad, very, very bad.
