Eventually, there was some struggling heard from the toy chest in Andy's room. Cathleen came up to it and soon flew up and opened it as Woody burst out, gasping for air.
"Finally!" Woody gasped, taking a couple breaths of fresh air, then discovered that his hat was missing. He then looked back into the toy box. "Hey! Who's got my hat?"
Then, a shark popped up wearing it. "Look at me, I'm Woody. Howdy, howdy, howdy!"
Woody laughed sarcastically. "Gimme that back!" he snapped, taking it back.
"Say there, Lizard and Stretchy Dog. Let me show you something," Buzz said to Rex and Slinky as he came with Booster, XR, and Mira. "It looks as though we've been accepted into your culture.
Woody looked over to see Buzz chatting with Rex and Slinky.
"Your Chief, Andy, inscribed his name on us." Buzz said, putting his foot out so that Slinky and Rex can see the sole of his boot.
Mira, Booster, and XR then joined in, showing Andy's name written in permanent marker on them.
"Nice ink!" XR remarked.
"A little sloppy, but it works for me." Mira added.
"Wow!" Rex and Slinky beamed.
"With permanent ink, too!" Rex smiled for Buzz.
"Well, we must go back to repairing the ship." Buzz said about him and his allies.
"Get on it, Tool Man." Cherry smirked to him, making an inside joke.
Lionel chuckled at that. "Otherwise you'll be the Last Man Standing!" he added.
"You two have a very interesting sense of humor." Buzz said to him as he soon walked off.
Woody looked at his foot; 'Andy' is written on it also, but in a much more childish scrawl, and is largely faded.
"Don't let it get to you, Woody." Bo advised.
"Uh, let what? I don't-Uh, whaddya mean? Who?" asked Woody, nonchalant.
"I know Andy's excited about Buzz, but you know, he'll always have a special place for you." she replied.
"Yeah, like the attic," Mr. Potato Head sneered as he walked past.
"Alright! That's it!" Woody snapped, then angrily marched across the room.
Across the room, Buzz's cardboard ship is still up on the ABC blocks. Buzz lies down on a skateboard and slides under the ship like a mechanic. Snake and Robot stand by waiting for instructions.
"Unidirectional bonding strip." Buzz requested, reaching his hand out from under the ship.
"Mr. Lightyear wants more tape!" The robot called, and the other toys passed it to him.
"I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind." Woody glared.
"I don't think so, Tim-Erm... Woody." Cherry replied.
"Whatever floats your boat, dude," Lionel replied. "Just don't let your mouth write checks that your actions can't cash."
Woody glanced at them and kept on going.
"This can only end so well..." Sabrina sighed.
Woody approached the skateboard, grabbed hold of Buzz's foot and rolled him out from under the ship. "Listen, Lightsnack, you stay away from Andy," he then glared to the Space Ranger. "He's mine, and no one is taking him away from me."
"What are you talking about?" Buzz asked, before turning to the robot. "WHERE IS THAT BONDING STRIP?!" He rolled himself back under, until Woody pulled him out again.
"And another thing," The cowboy doll then continued. "You and those friends of yours, stop with this spaceman thing. It's getting on my nerves."
"Are you saying you want to lodge a complaint with Star Command?" Buzz replied.
"Oh, okay, so you want to do it the hard way, huh?" Woody challenged.
Buzz stood up. "Don't even think about it, cowboy!" he snapped.
"Oh yeah, tough guy?!" Woody replied.
"Oh, boy." Patch sighed to himself.
Woody pushed Buzz in the chest, accidentally activating a button that makes the spaceman's helmet open. Buzz grabbed his neck, gasping for air, and he soon dropped to his knees, and began to writhe on the ground, holding his breath. Woody was a bit unsure how to react from that.
"BUZZ!" XR, Mira, and Booster panicked for their friend. They quickly ran over to help him.
"You can't die, Buzz! You just can't!" Booster begged.
"I... I... I..." Buzz struggled at first until he sniffed the air. "Wait... The air isn't toxic."
"It's not?" Mira asked, about to remove her own helmet.
"Mira, no, you have so much to live for!" XR cried out.
She removed her helmet. "He's right. We can breathe this air and not die." she replied.
XR and Booster looked to each other.
"How dare you open a spaceman's helmet on an uncharted planet!" Buzz soon glared as he rose up to Woody, pointind an accusing finger to Woody. "My eyeballs could've been sucked from their sockets!" He then closed his helmet as Woody began to snicker.
"You actually think you're THE "Buzz Lightyear?" Oh, all this time I thought it was an act!" he chuckled. "Hey guys! Look, it's the REAL Buzz Lightyear and friends!"
"Must be a toy complex thing." Sabrina commented.
"I would say so, yeah." Patch had to agree.
"You're mocking us, aren't you?" Buzz glared at Woody.
"Oh, no, no, no..." Woody replied before gasping and pointing. "Buzz, look! An alien!"
"Where?" Buzz asked, turning around as he fell for the trick.
Woody kneels over with laughter from that. They soon heard a dog barking, making them all look at Patch, but he shook his head to show that he didn't do it.
"It's coming from the window!" Lionel pointed out.
All of the toys soon went to look out the window.
"Yessss! Ah, ha, ha, ha..." A kid's voice laughed from outside.
"Uh-oh..." Woody frowned. Slinky hides under the bed.
"It's Sid!" Slinky cried out, going to hide under the bed.
"I thought he was at summer camp!" Rex said.
"They must have kicked him out early this year." Hamm guessed.
"Who or what is a Sid?" asked Booster and XR.
"Nothing that concerns you spacemen," Woody told them. "Just us TOYS."
A hyperactive ten-year-old boy, and his dog, can be roughly made out jumping around in their backyard.
A tiny figure stands isolated in the center of the yard.
The boy pummeled the figure with rocks while the dog strains at his leash, barking wildly.
"Who is it this time?" Mr. Potato Head asked.
Atticus took a look with his telescopic vision.
"I have that too, you know." Cathleen said to him.
"Then use it and stop complaining," Atticus replied. "Looks like a Combat Carl. I've heard of those. Make me think of GI Joe."
"Fun fact: it was actually supposed to be a GI Joe, but Hasbro didn't want them blowing up one of their toys." Lionel replied.
"That's probably why then." Atticus replied.
"Why is that soldier strapped to an explosive device?" asked Buzz.
"That's why... Sid." Woody explained as he turned Buzz toward him.
"Sure looks like a hairy fella." XR remarked.
"No, that's Scud, you idiot!" Woody snapped, turning to the kid. "THAT is Sid!"
The kid laughed darkly as he seemed to have a lot of fun.
"You mean that happy child?" Buzz asked.
"That ain't no happy child." Mr. Potato Head replied.
"He tortures toys; just for fun." Rex added.
"Well, then we've got to do something!" Buzz glared, coming to the window ledge.
"Yeah! There's one of him, four of us!" Mira replied. "We might be able to take him on!"
The other toys soon gasped in shock.
"What are you doing?!" Bo gasped to them. "Get down from there!"
"We're going to go teach that boy a lesson." Buzz glared.
"Yeah, sure. You go ahead. Melt him with your scary laser." Woody scoffed, pressing Buzz's laser button.
It let out a wimpy electronic beep, and Mira smacked his hand away.
"Knock it off, that thing's dangerous." she remarked.
While Woody and Buzz banter, Lenny witnessed Sid lighting the the fuse of the M80.
"HE'S LIGHTING IT!" he exclaimed. "HIT THE DIRT!"
The toys all dove for cover, as the explosion went off. Dirt clouds and toy shrapnel rain down along the side of Andy's house.
"Yes! He's gone! He's history!" Sid laughed.
Andy's toys peeked over the window sill. A large black scorch mark is all that remains where Combat Carl once stood. Sid jumps up and down victoriously while Scud resumes his barking.
"We could have stopped him." Booster huffed to the others with a pout.
"In hindsight, he DOES seem to have the height advantage on us." XR added.
"Guys, I would love to see you try," Woody said to the new group before gesturing to Sid's yard. "'Course I'd love to see you as a bunch of craters.
Sid cackled and danced around the crater.
"The sooner we move the better." Bo said to herself.
The other toys agreed as they dispersed from the window.
"I think this kid would get along with my cousin Amanda." Sabrina commented.
"Really now?" asked Lionel.
"Amanda Wiccan," Sabrina explained. "She's a little brat and usually uses her magic to make me and my friends miserable."
"We were invited to a Halloween party with the Spellman family one year," Atticus added from memory. "She demanded to play with us, but she was a spoiled brat, so she shrunk us and kept us in a jar, and later on, we had to babysit her because her mother Marigold bribed us with $100."
"Whoof..." Lionel remarked. "You all have my condolences."
"Thank you." Cherry replied.
Later on, at sunset, a "FOR SALE" real estate sign stands in the front yard. Another sign reading "SOLD" hangs from the bottom. Ms. Davis opened the door to Andy's room and steps in. The room is full of packing boxes, most of them half full.
Andy was playing with Woody and Buzz. "To infinity and beyond!"
"Oh, all this packing makes me hungry," Ms. Davis smiled playfully to her son. "What would you say to dinner at, uh, oh, Pizza Planet?"
"Pizza Planet?! Oh, cool!" Andy beamed as he threw he two toys on his desk with Buzz landing right on top of Woody.
"Alright... We GOTTA tag along for that," replied Lionel. "Pizza Planet kicks ass!"
"It really does..." Sabrina smiled. "Harvey, Chloe, and I used to go with Cherry, Atticus, and Mo in middle school all the time."
"How do we come along though?" Patch wondered.
"We hide in the car beforehand!" Lionel explained.
"Hmm... All right, well, we better get crackin'." Patch smirked.
"And I'm gonna hit the video games." Cathleen said.
"You're a toy." The others reminded her.
"I can just use my magic to change back to normal, duh." Cathleen rolled her eyes in deadpan.
"Uh, no," Lionel replied. "We HAVE to stay in toy form in this universe, because that's how everyone knows us here."
"Says who?" Cathleen asked.
"FOR PONY'S SAKE, CATHLEEN, JUST ONCE LISTEN TO OTHERS!" Cherry cried out before taking some deep breaths. "Come on, let's plan out if we're gonna make it to Andy's mom's car."
"Yeah," Atticus replied. "And NO DIVERTING FROM THE PLAN. It's not a request, it's an order."
"Can I bring some toys?" Andy's voice asked.
"You can bring ONE toy..." Ms. Davis's voice replied.
"Just one?" Andy's voice asked.
Lionel glanced over. "We best go to the car. Looks to me like Woody intends to make it seem like Buzz went missing so he can be the favorite again."
"That's kind of insane," Cathleen said. "Talk about paranoid."
"Well, Woody is jealous," replied Lionel. "And jealousy makes folks do some crazy things."
"It can sure be annoying." Cathleen replied.
"Oh, yeah?" Atticus said to her.
"Yes, you must be quite familiar with that." added Lionel.
Cathleen looked to them before pausing in thought.
