Please read and review!

Lotso's left eye twitched as he gazed at the porcelain doll smiling at him. Never had he seen a face so shiny and flawless!

"What's going on?"

Lotso turned to see Purry and the others approach closer. They stared at the new toy that was in the chest.

"Whoa..." Gumby muttered, his eyes never leaving the sight of Bo's gleaming face.

"Hi!" Ritz squeaked, giving her usual cheery smile as she waved a small paw at Bo. "Are you one of toys of Aunt Deb's future kids?"

"Well, that depends..." Bo chuckled as she reached her arms over the edge of the chest. "Maybe when their older, it might be a little safer..." She struggled as tried to hoist herself out.

And Lotso aided her right away. "I got you, ma'am," he said before he used his large, plush hands and carried her out. "There we go."

"Well, aren't you a bowl of sugar," Bo chuckled as she playfully tapped his nose. "And you smell like strawberries."

"And may I ask what your scent smells like, blondie?" Purry asked with a hard edge in her voice, wrinkling her whiskers as her blue eyes flashes at Bo in Lotso's arms.

"Oh, forgive me," Bo sighed, not noticing the hostility in Purry's voice. "Being sold from some old folks' store and placed in this dusty chest can really rid the good toy smell..."

The others toys jumped when they heard a cough...followed by bleating.

"Do I hear sheep?" Lotso asked Bo.

"Their mine," Bo told him. "Um...you can put me down now."

"Huh?" Lotso noticed she was still in his arms and immediately placed her down on her feet, chuckling nervously. He turned back toward the chest.

Four heads popped out. Three of them were sheep, and one was a rubber penguin.

"Hi," the penguin coughed due to the dust in the chest.

"Quick, someone get him out of there!" Bo exclaimed.

"I got you, tux," Lotso said before he reached in and picked up the penguin, then the sheep. "Boy, I sure hope none of that dust has messed up that there squeaker of yours."

"Oh, no, sir," the penguin said. "As the years go by, my squeak will never die!"

"Oh, Deb's kids are going to love you!" Ritz said. "Mr...?"

"Wheezy," the penguin squeaked.

"He sure is," Gumby whispered to Purry.

The stuffed cat gave Gumby a warning glare before she gave a smile to Wheezy. "Well, it's very nice meeting you toys..." She casted an uninterested glance at Bo. "Especially you, Bob..."

"Bo," the porcelain doll corrected, raising a painted eyebrow at her.

"Yeah, sure..." Purry muttered as she stood by Lotso, her tail swishing around. "So..." She began. "You guys have always been in the store, or what, have you guys had a previous life with someone?"

"Oh, yeah..." Wheezy sighed as he reflected back on his and Bo's memories. "Man, Andy was the best..."

Lotso's ears perked up as soon as the name came in. He looked at the penguin. "Andy?"

"A sweet boy," Bo added. "And he grew up into a good gentleman."

"I tell you, when he was younger, and we were all still together..." Wheezy added with a squeaky chuckle. "And would love to play lots of games...especially cowboy!"

Lotos felt a lump in his throat. "C-cowboy?"

"Well, he loved Western stuff..." Wheezy added. "All because of our good pal Woody."

Woody...

Lotso's eyes widened and he felt the lump in his throat nearly choke him. He and Purry exchanged a quick glance. Purry, being the only toy he had confided in since he had been reunited with Daisy and the other old toys, knew too well what Lotso was feeling right now.

"Now remember, Wheezy..." Bo told the penguin, sadness deep in her voice. "Woody had been more than a pal to me..." She sighed as she held her plastic cane close while her sheep came over to comfort her.

"Oh, and old boyfriend!" Purry exclaimed, smiling. She nudged Lotso, almost too roughly. "Hear that? She used to be in love!"

"I'm aware, Purry," Lotso told her, rubbing his arm. He gazed at Bo. "So...so much has changed, huh?" He would say anything to rid the guilt he had just gotten ridden of a while back.

"Andy's toys have all been sold separately..." Bo sighed. "Wheezy and I...we were sold together."

"Yeah, first we were some college girl's shelf decoration," Wheezy informed them. "For two years until she graduated. Then we were given at some swap meet and sold to a old man who gave us to his twelve-year-old niece. Then she grew up and sold us on Ebay..."

"Ah, Ebay..." Gumby chuckled. "Most popular online shopping site..."

"Soon, we were shipped to France to that trinket shop..." Bo added. "And next thing you know, we were bought by Deb and are now placed here until the future kids arrive."

"We've gone through so much together..." Wheezy sighed sadly. "You know, Woody saved me one time from being sold at a yard sale.

Again with the cowboy. Lotso felt his guilt would burst through his stuffing and spill unto the floor with all of his secrets...

"I made it out okay, but then some guy stole Woody..." Wheezy went on.

"Stole him?" Ritz squeaked in surprise. "How horrible!"

"And then some of the other toys, they created a search and rescue mission," the penguin went on, "which was made by our good friend, Buzz Lightyear."

The space ranger...

Lotso bit his lip. He glanced over to see Purry giving him a worried glance.

"I wanted to go," Bo said, "but Mrs. Potato Head said I would break..."

"Um, Mrs. Potato Head?" Lotso blurted out. He quickly regained some calmness in his voice. "Would that mean there was also a Mr. Potato Head?"

"Oh, yes..." Bo nodded. "It was during that mission that he accidentally got himself three LGMs..."

"Little Green Men?" Gumby chuckled. "They're cute and green, I admit. But no toy can be as green as G-Man!" He laughed.

"Easy, G," Purry told him with slight annoyance. She gave Bo a careful look. "And I'm guessing there were some other new toys as well?"

"Yeah, this cowgirl named Jessie along with her horse Bullseye and Barbie," Bo answered.

Oh, shoot me...Lotso thought remorsefully.

"We had been a great family for years..." Bo sighed as she bent down to stroked one of her sheep. "But then the time came..."

"Oh, you poor things!" Ritz exclaimed before she walked over and hugged Bo's huge skirts. "Don't you worry! Soon after Deb and Guido marry, we'll be your new family!"

Bo smiled down at the tiny clock mouse. Then she gazed at Lotso. "Mmm...I can't wait..." There was a slight sensuality to her voice.

Despite his growing guilt, Lotso felt his cheeks become as pink as his fur. Purry glanced from Bo to Lotso, her paws digging into the table as if she had real cat claws.

With the permission of her aunt and soon-to-be uncle, Ruby brought Bo and Wheezy and the sheep into her room and placed them with her toys. She grew excited when she had come back into her future cousins' room and had found them laying on the table with her toys, especially with Bo, whom she found very pretty. She included them in her playtime imagination...

"Home!" Nurse Purry shouted as she marched down the hall toward the bear. "Where have you been? We've got three patients with a tongue and elbow problem and you're standing here looking like a weirdo!"

When the bear didn't give her his usual sarcastic, witty reply, the stuffed cat grew suspicious. She looked at his face. His eyes seemed focused on something. Following his gaze, Purry raised her nose in disgust as she saw what exactly he was staring at.

"Oh..." She muttered, folding her arms. "The new girl..."

Across the hall, chatting with Nurse Ritz, dressed in an all-white poofy nurse outfit was the new nurse Bo.

"Never have I seen a face so flawless..." Dr. Lotso Home muttered. "Usually because I've mostly seen a lot of uglies or half-pretties..."

"She's more than a pretty face, Home," Purry said, hiding the growl in her voice. "She has brains." She casted another glance at Bo, who was busy running her hands over her porcelain blonde hair. "At least, I think she does..."

"Do brains even matter?" Lotso rolled his eyes.

"If you want to keep your job," Purry remarked.

After Bo said goodbye to Rtiz, she turned in her step...and her eyes met Lotso's.

The bear just stood there, motionless, his glasses nearly falling off his face. Then the doll smiled at him...

"Help me, I'm weak..." Lotso muttered.

"Oh, Home..." Purry muttered as she shook her head.

Ruby stopped right there as she let out a tired yawn. Dressed in her fish-covered pajamas, she dropped her toys and slowly waded toward the bed. Her parents were downstairs chatting with Deb and Guido, so she took her pick on which side she wanted to sleep on.

After a few moments and Ruby was breathing quietly, the toys slowly emerged from their frozen state, being as quiet as possible.

"Dr. Home, huh?" Bo said as she smiled at Lotso. "Quite an interesting character..."

"Well, Ruby has mentioned she wanted to become a doctor like her dad..." Lotso rambled, smiling nervously. "I'm just a slight encouragement..."

"Well, then..." Bo laughed as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "Let me say that you are like the toy that every child should have...because I can see that sparkling hope in your eyes, bear boy...you can help any child accomplish their dreams, especially if you're a toy."

Lotso rubbed the back of his neck, smiling wider at the porcelain doll's words. "Well, I mean...I think I might be the reason why Daisy became a lawyer..."

"You're cute," Bo chuckled, patting his nose.

Lotso felt weak in his stuffy legs as he smiled at Bo, not knowing what else to say.

"Heads up!"

Bo and Lotso barely had time to react when a tiny frisbee came their way and the sheep knocked Lotso over.

"My bad..." Purry called, though she hid her smirk.

"Oh, it's no problem..." Lotso said as he picked himself up.

Bo laughed. "You truly are something, Lotso..." She said.

Lotso chuckled, seeming a bit goofy. "Well, I got to say, uh...you, too."

Oh, someone shoot him...Purry thought as she gazed at him and Bo enviously.

Once the other toys slept, Lotso was still awake and he was pacing back and forth. Purry stood by, laying on he stomach as her tail swished around.

"It's probably a coincidence?" Purry asked, though she knew it wasn't.

"Coincidence?" Lotso told her. "Cowboy? Cowgirl? Space ranger? Purry, those are the toys!"

"You still feel bad, huh?" She asked.

"Every day of my life," Lotso said sadly.

"Hey, come..." The cat said as she got up and strolled toward him before placing a paw on his stomach for comfort. "You heard the penguin's story. The space dude and those toys in particular saved Woody...so maybe they all were saved from the incinerator somehow?"

"Boy, I really hope so..." Lotso muttered as he gazed back at Bo and Wheezy cuddled together and sleeping. "She said she loved him..."

Purry's ears perked up and her tail swished a bit faster. "And does this bother you in any way?" She asked, trying to hide the growing jealousy in her voice.

The bear casted her a confused look. "No, why do you ask?"

"Oh, uh, no reason..." Purry said nervously. "Just seen you been eyeing shepherd girl and all..."

"Yeah, she sure is beautiful, ain't she?" Lotso sighed, his eyes glancing back at the slumbering Bo.

"Oh, yeah..." Purry rolled her eyes. "Real pretty..."

"Hey, maybe Ruby might dress her up for the wedding," Lotso suggested excitedly. "Then that way you won't have to wear that dress you hate so much!"

Purry just stared at him. "Oh, yeah, that stupid dress..." She said quietly.

In truth, Purry had warmed up to the idea of wearing the ridiculous outfit. Because it would please Lotso. But now that Lotso had the desire for Bo to be in that dress instead-

"You think Bo might be a little too fat to wear it?" Purry asked suddenly. "I mean, I'm not really calling her fat but..." She laughed nervously. "Doubt with a big skirt like that you'd think she'd be really big on the hips..."

"I'm sure Ruby will do something..." Lotso sighed, smiling as he continued looking at Bo. "Man, she sure is lovely..."

"Yeah, she's a toy-sized Nicole Kidman..." Purry rolled her eyes. With that said, she wheeled around and strolled over to her toy cat carrier which Ruby had packed for the vacation as well. "Good night, Romeo..."

Lotso chuckled, unaware of the mean sarcasm in her New Jersey accent. He followed her and laid against her carrier while Purry had her door firmly shut.

He gave Bo one last glance before gazing back at Purry stretching before laying to sleep. "Yeah, good night, Purry..."
