It was 3 pm and Bonnie hadn't found Buzz. 'He was right hear on my bed last night.' she thought. She looked under the bed, in the closet, behind her dresser and even in her parent's bedroom. There was no sign of him. The other toys had become worried. It was just like 15 years ago, except Woody was not to be blamed this time. The toys aided Bonnie in her search for the beloved space cadet.

Woody's mood only worsened. 'Now Buzz is gone. Who next? Jesse? Bullseye? Slinky?' he shook the negative thoughts from his head and looked up at the ceiling. There was only one thing on his little toy mind now.

'Bo…'

~…~

The night sky was filled with stars and a giant white orb. Andy was playing some kind of rescue mission with Woody and Buzz saving Jesse and Bo from Mr. Dr. Pork Chop and One Eyed Bart. Andy threw Woody's hat at the Force-field dog who was keeping Bo and Jessie hostage. But, this time, their wasn't a happy ending. The hat was thrown a little too far to the left and snagged Bo's staff, pulling her off the window sill, into the driveway before any toy could save her.

Andy gasped and left the room. As soon as the door slammed shut, Woody jumped and screamed,

"BO!"

He, and the others, looked out the window, to find, to their dismay, shards of porcelain scattered around a pink dress. Her cane, still attached to the porcelain hand, was near what the toys decided was her head. Woody saw Andy and his mom come out into the driveway. She scolded him for not being careful with his toys and swept her up into a trash bag and they came back inside. Buzz hollered for the toys to get back in their places, but Woody didn't hear him. He continued to look in disbelief at Bo's dismembered body.

Andy was coming up the steps and Buzz grabbed Woody.

"Woody! We have to get back in our places! Now!"

Woody dropped and made that same smiling face as he always did when he became a lifeless toy. But this time, his smile was a little off. It was like he wasn't there anymore.

Andy walked back in with a frown on his face and looked at his toys. If one could break so easily, who's to say the others couldn't? He looked at Woody and Buzz and sighed. If they break so easily, then why should I play with them. They'll just break…

~…~

Just then Woody heard a thud at the window. He looked out the glass and saw Slinky, standing in the yard, throwing stones at the window. Woody turned to the others,

"Guys! It's Slinky! Help me get the window open!"

The others crowded around Woody and grabbed hold of the window, lifting it up.

"Woody! Come here! You're going to want to see this!" Slinky hollered.

Woody looked uncertainly at the others before braving up and jumping onto the roof and sliding down the water spout. He looked worriedly at Slinky and turned his head to the Buzz toy lying near the bushes. He rushed over and grabbed him, shaking him.

"Buzz! Buzz! Wake up! Wake up Buzz!"

Buzz opened an eye and closed it again. He sat up and looked around for his legs which he couldn't find. Jesse rushed beside him and knelt down.

"…Buzz?…" she managed to say whisper.

She was followed by the other toys who all stood around the limp Space Ranger. Jesse laid on top of him began to sob, although no tears were shed. Woody looked at the others, desperately looking for some kind of reassurance, but he got none. All he could do was sit with his mouth wide open as Jessie cried over her love. Woody stood up and removed his hat and held it in his shaky fingers. The others worked to pry Jessie from what was left off the toy.

This day had started off well, but turned into mass hysteria. It was apparent now, that there was someone stalking them. Waiting for its next victim. The question was, who would be next? Slinky walked over to Woody and handed him a note.

"Slink… what's this?"

"I found it with him… it's addressed to you…"

The others took their eyes off their fallen friend and looked to Woody. He grabbed the note with shaky fingers and read aloud.

"Dear Woody. I want to see you again. I hope you remember me. I hope you remember all the fun we had all those years ago. I want you to come by my place for a visit. 1278 CherryWood Drive. If you don't come, I will pick another of your friends to have fun with. Signed, Mr. Top Hat."

Woody gasped as he read the final words.

"Mr. Top Hat?" the Potatoes asked.

Woody's past had come back to haunt him before, but not like this.

"Mr. Top Hat… is my brother…"

The other toys gasped and leaned closer, as if they knew he was going to tell a story.

"He WAS my brother. See, before I was Andy's toy, I was with a kid named Evan. His dad worked at the toy company that manufactured me, and he got Mr. Top Hat and I for free. There were several other toys they made. Mr. Top Hat is a doll with a pull string too. He wears a black tuxedo and a cape along with a handle-bar mustache and a big top hat. Evan loved us. We were brothers to him. He would make up games where we would have to save the world before the evil Dr. Insane blew it up.

"Evan didn't have any friends. His abusive parents made sure of that. Top Hat and I were the only friends he had. We were the world to him, we were his escape from reality, his little vacation." Woody looked to his feet and sighed, obviously taken back by what was transpiring.

"But nothing ever lasts. I was young and stupid. I didn't want an owner at the time. I decided to leave and be apart of something bigger. Top Hat, Action Frank, a military toy, and Black Beard, a pirate toy, tried to get me to stay. I refused and left. I soon learned the outside world was no place for a toy. I was nearly broken in half by a truck and was almost drowned.

"I returned to Evan's house later that week. I peeked through his window and could see him crying and looking for me. I was just about to climb in when his dad slammed the door open. He kept yelling at him to stop, but… Evan… he didn't. His dad hit him."

The other toys gasped again. Jesse looked up at him with a horrified look. She had known toys with the same story.

"But it didn't stop there. He hit him again. And again. And again. Over and over. I looked away but I could still hear him screaming. It stopped and I looked back. He was gone. Mr. Top Hat saw me and ran after me. I ran into the road, trying to get away but he tackled me and held me down. He yelled at me, but I couldn't tell what he was saying. He was saying it was all my fault… and he was probably right. He hit me a few times.

"It was then that I heard the truck coming. It was a big 18 wheeler. I kicked him off me and he landed right in the way of one of its wheel. After the truck was gone, I walked over to him, or, what was left. He wasn't talking. His arms were ripped up and one leg was missing. His top hat was a foot away, with his head still attached to it. I left. I ran away again. I jumped onto the back of a van and stayed with it until it reached a house. Andy's house. He was just a baby then, but he loved me then too.

"I never forgot about Mr. Top Hat. And now, he's back. And he wants me."

"Woody…" Buzz spoke up.

Everyone turned to Buzz who was trying to stand.

"That was the guy who took me. Him and some robot toy. They… they held me down… they unscrewed my legs…"

Jessie put one finger over his lip and hushed him. They hugged and carried him inside. Bonnie got home late that night and was asleep. The other toys slept soundly, albeit a little uneasily, all but one. Woody climbed out of Bonnie's bed and tip-toed to the window, only to be stopped by Jesse. She was still horrified by the days events and he knew she was going to ask him to stay.

"Jess…" he started, but couldn't continue.

His little toy heart began to broke as her look worsened. She hid her face and slumped to the ground. Woody knelt down beside her and brushed her red lochs with his hand. There wasn't much to say. There wasn't anything to say really. Woody knew what was going to happen to him and he accepted it. The others would have to accept this cruel fate as well.

"Jess… I have to go now…" he said through a lump in his chest.

She looked up at him and grabbed his arm, pulling him down. They embraced each other in a long hug. Buzz watched from on top of the bed. His eyes narrowed and he realized;

'It's not hate that I feel for Woody. It's jealousy. I'm jealous of him. No matter what he does, the others look up to him and admire him. He is a hero to them. To Bonnie and Andy. To me…' he thought.\

Woody turned to Buzz and waved goodbye. Buzz gave a sign with his hands, indicating departure and saluted him. It was at this moment that he woke the other toys. The Potatoes gave their good byes. Rex and Slinky wrapped around him, delivering their last hugs and Hamm shook his hand.

"Good luck cowboy." Hamm said, "You're gonna need it."

Bonnie's toys were next to say good bye. Pricklepants and Trixie told him they'd miss him and Dolly gave a very peculiar hug. She wrapped her hands around him in a weird fashion, and she gripped him tight. They had spent a good deal of time together since he got there. They were great friends, but Woody didn't know how to react to this. She finally loosened up let go. They laughed and she said good bye.

Woody gave his final good bye to Bonnie. She lay quietly as he hugged her and kissed her cheek.

"Thanks kiddo." he told her as he jumped off the bed.

He slowly walked to the open window and looked back. All the toys looked were sad. There leader of 16 years was leaving. Maybe forever. Who knows? No one did. He stepped out of the window and worked his way to the ground. He continued to walk down the driveway as he looked back at the window. Dolly, Jessie and Buzz were seated, looking down at him. He swallowed hard and walked on.

The walk would be a long and hard one. With no one by his side this time, he felt incredibly lost…
