Sam Watson: Thanks for the comment! Don't worry, there will be a dramatic part later, but not as bad as what we saw in the movie. That still tears me apart! Here's chapter three

The gang spent the night in metal bins located on the storage shelf. None of them got any sleep. Bullseye nuzzled up against Jessie and the cowgirl petted his head.

"I know, boy. I miss Woody too." She said.

"I want to know where Lotso took him." Slinky said. Just then, the door slammed open and in came Lotso and the other toys.

"We're about to find out." Hamm said.

"Good morning, maggots! Are you ready for another fun filled play time? The kids will be here in two hours." Lotso said.

"Where's Woody!?" Jessie shouted.

"Oh yeah, almost forgot about him. Big baby, bring in the sheriff, please." Big baby came out carrying a semi-conscious Woody and threw him into the middle of the room. They all laughed and left the room. Jessie was the first out of her basket and rushed over to her brother.

"Woody." She checked him over and made sure he was breathing. Thankfully he was. He groaned and tried to get up. Buzz offered a hand and helped him.

"What happened to you, Woody?" Slinky asked.

"And why are you covered in sand?" Hamm asked.

"Lotso locked me in the sandbox all night. It was, so, so cold." Woody said, coughing.

"I'll kill him!" Jessie said.

"Easy, Jess." Buzz said.

"No! Enough is enough! We can't let him do this to him anymore, or to us. We need to put an end to this, now."

"She's right, which is why we are busting out of here, tonight." Woody said, dusting himself off.

"What?" They all gasped.

"Are you out of your mind?!" Potato Head said.

"Lotso said there was only one way out and that's in the trash!" Hamm said.

"Are we going to end up in the trash?" Rex cried.

"No! Listen to me! Woody shouted. I had a lot of time to think and I know we can make it. If we can just get outside to the alley, we can wait by the trash bins for the garbage truck and hitch a ride back to Andy's."

"Woody, it sounds like a huge risk." Jessie said.

"It is, but we can do it if we stick together." Buzz said.

"One last thing: in order for us to do this, I am going to create a distraction." His family gasped again. Jessie got in his face.

"No you're not, because if you do, you are truly out of your mind. Your arm is hanging by a thread, you almost got choked to death yesterday, and you spent the night in a cold sandbox. There is no way that you are..."

"I am the reason you are here!" She was taken back at that. "I left you. I swore to keep us all together and keep us with Andy for as long as possible, but I couldn't prevent the one thing we've all been dreading from happening. He's going to go to college, take me with him and dump me on a shelf, forget me and will probably toss me out. Then I'll never see you guys again and you'll be unprotected which is another thing I swore would never happen! I planned long and hard and yet, I failed. I have failed all of you as a leader and as a friend." Jessie looked at him and then at Buzz.

"Woody, what did Lotso say to you before he brought you to the caterpillar room?" Buzz asked. The cowboy turned away from him, arms crossed.

"It doesn't matter."

"Did he tell you that Andy is going to forget about you? You know that will never happen, partner." They heard yelling outside.

"The kids have arrived." Rex cried. The toys sighed. Buzz shook the cowboy's shoulder in reassuring way. Woody smiled back weakly before they fell into toy mode, not looking forward to the long day ahead.

Sorry for it being so short! Posting chapter four later!
