Ok second chapter…here I go…*breathes in deeply then begins to type*. Not sure how long this will be but im going to do my best :D

"Woody" Buzz whispered as he was trying to wake the sleeping sheriff. "Woody!" Buzz said a little louder when Woody wasn't moving. Woody slowly began to open his eyes, remembering that he was on his way to his new home. He smiled.

"Yes Buzz?" Woody questioned as he sat up and stretched, noticing that the road they were driving on was quite bumpy.

"I think were almost there" Buzz said excitedly, looking out the hole in the side of the box.

"We'd better be" Jessie mumbled as she stood up and straightened her hat. "We've been driving for hours."

Suddenly the truck came to a stop. Melody got out and began to walk to the rear door.

"She's coming" Buzz whispered as they all assumed toy form.

"Sorry for the long drive guys" Melody chuckled as she grabbed the box by its sides. Woody felt happy when she spoke to them, because to him it was like she was talking to them as if they were alive, and that made him feel very loved already. To Woody and Buzz's delight the hole was still open. Woody got up and looked through the hole. Woody let out a quiet whistle of amazement.

"Buzz you gotta see this" Woody said with a smile, as he motioned for his friend to come look as well. Buzz got up and walked over to Woody. His eyes widened when he looked through the hole.

"That's amazing" Buzz said, hypnotized by what he saw. Woody nodded in agreement. What they saw was a huge stretch of land with some horses grazing. The grass was beautiful as it softly blew in the breeze, along with the stunning pine trees that seemed to be everywhere.

The toys heard another car pull up and Melody stopped and turned. Woody's eyes widened.

"That's some house" Woody said with a smile as he was enjoying his new home already.

It was a two story house with many windows. It was a wood cabin with a brick chimney and dark green shingles that covered the roof.

"Hi guys" Melody said with a cheerful tone. Woody could hear car doors. Then he could hear people talking in the distance but he couldn't quite make out what they were saying.

"Ye I guess I got here right on time" Melody laughed

"Of course, we'll get right to your trail riding, just let me put this stuff in my room and ill be right down" Melody said, you could hear that her breathing changed and then they began to bounce as Melody ran to her house.

They watched as they went into the house and then they went up stairs. Woody and Buzz were trying to watch through the hole but they were bouncing too much. Finally they stopped bouncing and then they went into a room. Melody placed the box on her desk.

"Sorry guys I'll set you up later" Melody said while trying to catch her breath. The toys heard the door shut as she left the room. They instantly began to climb out of the box.

"Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaw" Jessie cried as she jumped onto the desk. She looked around in amazement. "Look at this place! It's huge!"

The toys looked around at the large room. The walls were light blue with clouds and pine trees painted everywhere. On one side there was a tall bookshelf filled with books, and a dresser and a large window with a seat. In the middle was a large bed and on the side of the bed was a hat rack with many cowgirl hats, and on the floor were many cowgirl boots.

Then on the other side there was a large wooden shade to change behind, and there was another large window, also with a seat, and next to the bedroom door was another door that was open that showed a large room filled with clothes and objects. Then there was the desk they were on. Woody noticed it was much bigger than Andy or Bonnie's desks.

The desk was right next to the back window. Woody began to crawl down the desk and onto the window seat. When he turned and looked out the window he was amazed once again. He had never seen anything like it. It was a beautiful lake with a dock and a boat tied to it. "holy cow" Woody said breathlessly as he put his hands on the glass. He heard a mixture of oohs and ahhhs as the other toys came to join him.

"I've never seen anything like it" Buzz said in a dazed voice as he walked up next to Woody.

"I know it's amazing" Woody said as he smiled, not taking his eyes away from the window. It was a nice change in view for Woody. He was thrilled to be looking out at this lake through a beautiful window inside an amazing room. Instead of that dusty attic with its small dusty window with a view of only the front yard.

"What is that?" Rex asked curiously. Everyone looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders…except for Woody.

"That" Woody said smiling "Is a lake". He hadn't seen a lake in years. Since the time when Andy's dad took him on a fishing trip with his dad.

"What's a lake?" Buzz asked as he looked at his friend.

"A lake is a large sink hole filled with water and fish" Woody said putting it plainly as possible. "See that boat" He pointing at the little blue and green boat tied to the dock. "You go out on that with these things called fishing poles and you use bait to catch the fish, then you can cook them and eat them." Woody finished, remembering that day at the lake when Andy's dad caught his first fish. Woody was in awe of how beautiful the sun looked over the lake.

"Well well well" Mr. Potatoe said in a joking tone. "I didn't know you were that smart Woody"

"ah ha ah ha" Woody laughed jokingly. He smiled at head and then looked to the other side of the room where the other large window was. "Let's go check out that other window" Woody said excitedly as he climbed down from the seat and made his way across the room. He climbed up the other window seat and looked out the window.

He saw horses and stables and a fence that stretched beyond his sight. "Real horses" He said softly " They're beautiful. Everyone else climbed up and once again Woody heard everyone's oohs and ahhs.

"Well look at this" Buzz said smiling at Woody "Looks like you got lucky cowboy, I believe we are now owned by a cowgirl".

Woody chuckled and thought of Melody with her sparkling green eyes and her cheerful laugh. He blinked himself out of his thoughts when he saw Melody and three others come out of the woods on horse back, with Melody leading the way. Woody had the same strange feeling when he looked at her. He had to admit she was beautiful but he felt…something else he couldn't quite place.

Buzz could see Woody watching Melody intensely. He waved his hand in front of Woody's face.

"yoohoo, earth to Woody" Buzz said with a laugh.

Woody blinked again and looked at Buzz. "What?" Woody asked with a nervous laugh as he began to blush. Buzz waited for the other toys to head back to the box.

"Listen Woody" Buzz said putting his arm over Woody's shoulders as they looked out the window and watched Melody and the others go into the stables. " I know you like her…it's obvious…I mean I haven't seen you look at anyone this way since…well…" Buzz trailed off.

"Since Bo" Woody finished. "It's alright now Buzz I'm over Bo leaving, it's been years" Woody chuckled.

"oh…good" Buzz said nervously. "Well anyway, I think you like her…I mean I was joking earlier…but…now I think you really do like her."

"Buzz come on" Woody laughed " I've just never seen a real cowgirl before". Woody wasn't going to tell Buzz about his feeling until he knew for sure what it was. And besides, the way he saw it was that it didn't matter how he felt…she was a human…and he was…well…cotton, fabric, and plastic.

"Alright" Buzz chuckled as he removed his arm from Woody. "I'll meet you back at the box."

"Ok be there in a sec…" Woody trailed off as he watched out the window for Melody to come out of the stables.

"Better be soon…Melody's probably gonna head up soon" Buzz replied

"Don't worry ill watch for her…and I'll give you guys a heads up" Woody said not pulling his eyes away from the window. Buzz turned and walked back to the box. Woody watched as Melody and the others came out of the stables. She shook hands with the two adults and then waved at the little boy. They left towards their car and Melody took off her hat and ran her fingers through her straight brown hair as the wind blew lightly.

Woody once again thought of her laugh that made him feel so happy, and he thought of her beautiful green eyes as well.

Woody noticed the sun had come down slightly since he last looked. Melody put her hands on her hips and inhaled deeply, then turned and walked towards the house.

"She's coming!" cried Woody as he ran over to the desk and began to climb. He could hear doors shutting just as he made it to the box. Everyone jumped in. A little while later they heard footsteps accompanied by a large thump. Soon the door opened and everyone was still…except for Woody and Buzz. They were looking through the hole. Melody came in breathing heavily as she brought in a small shelf. She picked it up and carried over to the side of her room and placed it by the window that was facing the lake.

"Okay guys time to come out" she said with a smile as she turned towards the box. Woody and Buzz froze. She opened the box and smiled. "I'm sorry I left you guys in the box for so long, I had to work" she sighed as she pulled the toys out one by one. "I made this shelf for you guys as soon as mom told me I could come pick you up" She said with a smile as she place each toy on the shelf. Once again Woody was the last toy in the box. She picked him up gently and smiled at him. She stroked his shirt with her fingers. "Still just as soft as I remember" She said with a chuckle, but there was something else behind her laugh, something hidden, and it almost sounded like…pain.

"I think you'll go here" She said softly as she placed him on the window seat. She smiled and then looked out the window, the sun was beginning to go down over the lake. She stretched and took off her hat and hung it on the hat rack by her bed. Then she took off her boots and neatly lined them up next to the others. She walked over to the front window and closed the curtain. Woody watched her silently, he couldn't imagine how someone as grown up as her could still want the old toys, and still want to treat them with such love. She began to unbutton her shirt. Woody began to blush immensely, even though she had a black tank top underneath. He looked away.

She walked into her closet and changed into her pajamas. Woody heard her messing around with stuff on her desk so he thought it would be safe to look. He looked over to see her in a laced purple tank top and long cotton pants with teal and purple stripes.

Woody watched as she grabbed a yellow journal and a pencil. She walked over to the window seat and sat across from him and looked out the window at the dark sky that was filled with bright stars. The look on her face changed to sadness. Woody had not seen this side of her. The pain in her eyes made him want to rush over and hug her, but he thought…what good would that do…I'm only a toy.

She began to write in her journal. Slowly she began to smile again, and then she even chuckled a bit. Woody liked to see her happy, because when he saw the sadness on her face it just broke his heart.

She wrote in her journal for a short while, eventually a tear slid down her cheek. Then she wiped away her tears and stretched. She sat her journal down on the seat and got up and walked over to her door and shut it, then turned off the lights. The only light now was the light of the moon shining through the window. She walked over and crawled into her bed.

"Goodnight everybody" She yawned. "Goodnight Woody" She said softly as she drifted off to sleep.

Woody waited a little bit and then he got up and looked out the window. He had never seen so many stars in his life, and they were so bright. Woody glanced over to her journal, then looked over at her. He walked slowly to the journal and opened it to the bookmarked page. He began to read the very neat handwriting.

"Today was a good day; I finally went and picked up my old toys. I was so excited to see them. Especially Woody, when I picked him up I felt the same joy I felt when I was a little girl playing with him, pretending I had my own ranch. And I know it's silly but I'm very fond of Woody, I think he would make a very good friend." That made Woody feel special, but he sighed, If only he could be her friend. "And look at me…I'm so lonely…" Woody figured this is what started the tears. "I love my toys and I love talking to them even though I know…I know they're not real…but to me they're just as alive as I am." Woody smiled. "Well I guess I'd better go to sleep. I have a busy day tomorrow. Lots of clients….Goodnight." Woody finished reading and closed the journal. Now he understood the pain in her eyes, she was lonely.

Woody sighed and rubbed the back of his neck as he looked over at Melody, asleep in her bed. He wished he could be there for her, he just wanted…to be near her. Woody sat back down in the spot where she left him and looked out the window once again at the shining stars. He smiled as he thought of Melody's beautiful green eyes, and her brown hair flowing in the wind. He continued to think of her as he slowly drifted off to sleep.
