*Chapter three is up. I am keeping this one short, so there is only one more chapter after this one. Then I'm going to post a Woody's past fic. Enjoy!*
November 1994
A month passed and Bo fit right in with the guys. During playtime, Andy made her the damsel in distress that was snatched either by Hamm, aka Evil doctor pork-chop or Potato Head, aka, one eyed Bart. Woody was her rescuer every time. The cowboy and the shepherdess spent so much time together that Hamm and Potato Head actually started taking bets on when they were going to get together.
"It's going to happen next week. I can feel it!" Hamm said.
"No way, I say till the end of the month. Woody is oblivious!" Potato Head said.
"I can't believe you two are actually taking bets. Slinky said. You two are supposed to be his friends!"
"We are his friends; we're just having a bit of fun. Okay, twenty bucks says he'll ask her out by the end of the month."
"Deal, but it's going to be next week. The cowboy is crazy about her!"
"I'll agree with you on that, Hamm, which is why I'm betting on in the next few hours, I'm rising you both ten bucks, and you two have to be extremely nice to Woody for an entire week."
"What?" They both shouted.
"I'm rooting for both of them, and I believe he is going to ask her tonight. Mark my words, it will happen." That night, Woody and Bo sat on the couch while the family was out and watched one of his favorite movies, Forrest Gump. They sat close to each other, her head lying on his shoulder, hands almost touching. At the end, Bo sighed.
"That was a wonderful movie. Thank you for showing it to me, Woody." She said.
"You are very welcome, Bo. I'm glad you liked it."
"Are you kidding? I loved it. It was so beautifully done, though it was sad when he lost both his mother and Jenny."
"Yes, it is sad losing someone you love or care about." Bo looked sadly at him; she knew he was talking about Andy's dad.
"I'm sorry about Andy's father. You must miss him terribly."
"Thank you. I do miss him. I wish I had been given the chance to say goodbye. He was my second kid after Andy's grandfather. I've been passed down three generations now of Davis boys, each one just as special on the last."
"If they were anything like Andy, they were amazing kids."
"Oh you have no idea. Both of them were so creative in their play times, just as Andy is now. His grandfather was the one that gave me my hat, you know. When I was made, they didn't have enough hats for all the dolls. His grandfather found one for me one day and I've had it ever since."
"Andy's mom was the same way. She was so creative and full of imagination. I was with her for ten years and then put away in her mom's attic until she had her own little girl." She sighed. "It's sweet, the way you talk about your owners."
"You're sweet." As soon as he said it, he regretted it. Smooth Woody, real smooth. But she smiled.
"Thank you, Woody. That's kind of you to say." They turned away from each other, and then suddenly turned back.
"Can I say something crazy?" They said together.
"Oh, please, you first." Woody said.
"Okay, this is going to sound crazy because I've only been here a month, but I can't ignore my feelings. I like you, a lot and I wondered if, maybe you feel the same way?" Woody looked at her and sighed happily.
"Can I be honest? I'm not really good with expressing my feelings, but when I'm with you, I'm happier than I've ever been. You're fun to talk to, fun to be around and you're so full of life. I'd be a fool if I said I wasn't into you as well, Bo. Forgive me if I'm being too proper, but I was wondering if you would like to go steady with me?" Bo smiled and took his hand.
"Of course I would, sheriff." Woody sat up and kissed her softly on the cheek.
"HA-HA, SUCKERS! I WIN THE BET!" Slinky yelled from the top of the stairs. Bo and Woody turned to look at him standing beside Hamm and Potato Head.
"What bet, Slinky?" Bo asked.
"These two had a bet about when you two would get together, and I won! For the record, I was rooting for you two. I'm so happy you're together! Oh and now you have to be nice to him for a whole week!" Slinky laughed again and the three of them went back into the bedroom. Woody groaned.
"Oh I am going to kill those two." He said, rubbing his forehead. Bo laughed.
"Eh, let them have their fun. How about another movie, cowboy? My pick this time. I saw that Andy's mom had a copy of 'Casablanca'."
"You like 'Casablanca'?" She nodded. "Okay, I really like you now! 'Here's looking at you, kid.'" Bo laughed and put the tape in. They sat beside each other, closer than before, Woody's arm wrapped around her waist and hands clasped together. By the end of the movie, they were sound asleep, holding each other.
