Toy Story 4

I'm sure a certain fan of this story missed me. I am so, so, so, soooooo sorry I haven't updated this in a while, but this story is not dead! The show must go on! And go on, it shall, with this BRAND NEW CHAPTER! I'll try to finish it soon, guys, but the only updates I've made are on the memo pad on my phone because I was too lazy/didn't have time to write down my ideas for this story. Anyway, here you go! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing associated with Disney/Pixar's Toy Story.

Lotso and Prospector Pete eyed 1225 Sycamore and smiled. The plan that they had come up with that loser garbage man was full-proof! Lotso signaled to the prospector, who snuck over to the backyard and hid in the bushes with his pick-ax. As he did so, Sid rang the doorbell. Mrs. Anderson answered.

"Yes, can I help you?" she said.

"I certainly hope so, ma'am", said Sid, pulling out a pink sheet of paper. "Uh, according to our records, we haven't received your payment for this month's trash pick-up."

"Oh? That's odd, I always make sure I get that payment in on time."

As Sid continued to distract Bonnie's mom, Lotso slipped past them and headed into the kitchen. Phoebe was sleeping on the couch. As he crept past her, a low growl escaped from her throat. Lotso froze, but the puppy didn't stir. Breathing a silent sigh of relief, Lotso arrived beside the kitchen table.

"I don't know what you're up to, old friend, but stop right there."

Lotso looked up to see Chuckles, still in the kitchen window, looking droopier than ever.

"Chuckles? Is that you?"

Chuckles nodded.

"How'd you know I was here?"

"Lotso, you may be a rotten bear, but you still have that strawberry smell that Daisy loved so much. If she could see you now-"

"Don't you talk about Daisy!"

Phoebe growled again, louder this time. Lotso gasped and waited until she was silent again.

"What are you doing here, Lotso?" Chuckles said, turning around to face him.

"First", Lotso whispered, "I'm gonna get rid of that sheriff and his space ranger friend. Then, I'm gonna take back what's mine."

"And how do you plan on doing that?"

"Why, with your help, of course."

Chuckles gasped as Prospector Pete held his pick-ax to his throat. The toy had somehow climbed up onto the ledge while his back was turned.

"My apologies, old friend", said Lotso.

"What now, strawberries?" said Pete.

"I told you, don't call me that, Stinky Pete!" said Lotso.

Phoebe's eyes snapped open and she sat up straight, growling at the toys.

"Oh, you've done it now", said Pete.

"Hush up!" Lotso hissed. "Maybe, if we don't move, she won't see us."

The front door opened and Phoebe started barking wildly as Mrs. Anderson and Sid stepped inside.

"I'm so sorry about this, ma'am", said Sid. "This has never happened before."

"Well, let's just make sure we get it straight", said Mrs. Anderson. "I need my trash taken."

"Yes, of course."

Sid motioned to Lotso and Pete while her head was down. Prospector Pete held his pick-ax tighter to Chuckles' throat.

"One noise, and we'll see exactly what you're made of, clown."

The three of them snuck up the stairs while Phoebe was distracted by the company downstairs.

"I thought you were crazy before, Lotso", said Chuckles, "but this-"

"I said, QUIET!" said Pete, jabbing him with his elbow.

The toys made their way to Bonnie's room. The girl was away at a friend's house for the day. Lotso eased the door open just a bit and they went inside. Woody and Buzz were around Bonnie's backpack, reading the latest note from Ken and Barbie.

"Uh-oh", said Woody. "Guys, listen to this: "You are in danger. Lotso Huggin' Bear has teamed up with a big, smelly man with a pick-ax."

The toys gasped.

"Prospector Pete is back?!" said Rex.

"What are we gonna do?!" said Mrs. Potato Head.

"You're gonna do exactly what we say."

The toys wheeled around and gasped when they saw Prospector Pete and Lotso holding Chuckles hostage.

"Lotso?! Pete?!" said Woody.

"That's right, sheriff!" said Lotso.

"Miss me, losers?" said Pete.

"Chuckles!" said Trixie. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine", Chuckles said glumly. "Just disappointed."

"Oh, get over it!" Lotso said. "Here's the deal, sheriff: You and Space Man here are gonna walk outta here with us, and our friend is gonna deal with you."

"What friend?" said Buzz.

"That's for us to know, and you to find out", said Pete. "Now, get a move on!"

Chuckles winced as Pete pressed his pick-ax further into his windpipe.

"Alright, alright!" said Woody. "We'll go. Come on, Buzz, we'd better do what he says."

"Woody! Buzz! No!" Jessie yelled. "You can't!"

"We have to, Jessie", said Buzz, taking her hand. "We can't let an innocent toy get hurt."

Before she could protest, Buzz pulled away and went over to the evil toys. Prospector Pete shoved Chuckles to the ground and grabbed Woody.

"This is for everything you put me through", he hissed, and ripped Woody's arm. The toys gasped. Buzz immediately went to help his friend, but Lotso held him back, tapping his cane on the floor.

Sid smiled. All was going according to plan.

"Again, I do apologize for the mix-up, ma'am", he said. "Allow me to make it up to you. Is there some trash I could collect for you now?"

"Well, actually, there is a large bag by the door upstairs", said Mrs. Anderson.

"Yes, ma'am."

Sid went up the stairs two at a time. He smiled as he saw Woody and Buzz being brought out by Lotso and Pete.

"Nice work, gentlemen", he said quietly. "You know what to do now."

The two toys nodded and shoved Woody and Buzz into the trash bag on the floor. Sid looked inside Bonnie's room at the toys remaining, who cowered before him.

"Be lucky it wasn't you", he said, cackling as he shut the door. He tied the trash bag and put Lotso and Pete in his vest pockets. Phoebe growled as he came back down. She was smart enough to know something wasn't right.

"Scud could chew a hole in her any day", Sid thought.

"Thank you so much, ma'am, and again I'm very sorry."

"No problem at all", said Mrs. Anderson. "Have a nice day!"

Jessie and Bulls-eye climbed up to the window and watched as Sid removed Woody and Buzz from the trash bag and tossed them into the passenger seat of his car. Jessie gasped.

"We've gotta save them!"

Woody and Buzz remained motionless as Sid drove off.

"You can drop the act", he said. "I know you can talk, and I know you know who I am, don't you?"

"No, we don't actually", said Buzz.

"Oh, no?" said Sid. "Maybe this will refresh your memory!"

He pulled his vest back to reveal a skull T-shirt. Woody gasped.

"Sid?!"

As much as I hate being left with a cliffhanger, I just LOVE doing it to my readers! Mwahahahahahahahaha! Sorry. I'll be back with more soon, bye for now!
