"Ok, everyone just calm down!" Woody said into the Mic. He was standing behind the Tinker Toys podium. No one was listening. Instead the panicked toys were talking and arguing among themselves. "Hello! I'm calling this staff meeting to order!" The Cowboy tried again. With a sigh, he handed the Mic to Buzz, who gave it a loud tap. A horrible squeal filled the air, making everyone cover their ears.
"Thanks," Woody said, taking back the microphone. "As all of you are aware, Andy has a case of head lice. I know, this is bad, but we just need to keep our cool. There will be some stuff ahead that not all of us will like. Things like washing, spraying, and yes," he looked at Rex. "Being put into bags." The crowd started to shout angrily. "It's just for a few days! Hey, don't get mad at me! I don't make these rules!"
"In the meantime," Buzz added. "We need to do a lice check among ourselves."
Hamm pushed his way to the front. "You can't be serious! All of us?"
"All of us!"
"That's not fair!" Said Potato Head. You should just be checking the toys that have places to hide lice! Like…like toys with hair!"
All eyes suddenly turned to Jessie, who was sitting with her arm around Bullseye. "What?"
"LET ME GO YA VARMITS!" Jessie screamed as the toys held her down. She tried to wriggle away but Buzz and the others held firm. Woody had taken her hat off and was combing through the red yarn with a Popsicle stick.
"Jessie, stop moving!" He ordered. "The sooner you quit fighting the sooner we can be done!"
"I don't have lice, now leggo!" She hollered. Breaking free, she pushed the others away and took off like a bolt of lightning.
Woody pointed. "Don't let her get away!" The others began to give chase. Buzz, being the fastest, caught her first.
"Jess, come on!" He said soothingly. "We're all going to be checked…"
Jessie glowered darkly. "Well you can just find someone else to get to first base with tonight, Partner." She said quietly.
Buzz paused then turned to the others. "You know, if Jessie said she doesn't have lice then she probably doesn't have lice!"
"Buzz!" Woody snapped. "Man, you're whipped!" He stomped to Jessie. "Hold still!" Jessie made a face but finally allowed him to inspect her head.
"Well?"
Woody pulled the stick away. "She's lousy."
Jessie slunk dejectedly to the floor. "Oh no!"
One by one each toy got into line and let Woody comb them over. He shook his head. "Sorry Rex. It looks like you've got them too…"
Rex shrieked. "GET THEM OFF! GET THEM OFF!" He toppled over.
Buzz walked over and sat down next to Jessie who had her knees pulled up to her face. "I can't believe I have lice," she muttered into them.
"Aw Jess, don't be blue." He put an arm around her and gave a squeeze. "Lice or not, you're still the best girl in Andy's room." She smiled and put her head on his shoulder. Buzz paused. "Lice aren't contagious are they?"
Jessie shoved him away. "Buzz Lightyear, for the love of…"
