Hello, everyone! I would like to thank my reviewers - hpmoofrog, ardent aspen, and my guest reviewer! It is so encouraging to hear from you guys, and its good to know what is and what is not working well for my readers. Keep it coming, please! This is another shorter chapter, sorry about that. I will try to make the next one longer! :)

Woody wouldn't be visiting today – Bo had seen Bonnie pack him away. Was she relieved or disappointed? She wasn't sure – she wasn't sure of much of anything these days, least of all her feelings. Did he really still love her? It truly seemed so, but should he? Bo was afraid that one day he would realize he loved the idea of her and see her for what she really was – a worthless piece of junk. She knew that he deserved someone better than she; eventually he would figure that out as well. So it was best not to get her hopes up. Hope hurt much worse when it shattered than an arm did.

A rustle from behind interrupted her thoughts; someone was climbing the bookshelf. Bo turned away from the window. "Woody?" Had Bonnie left him behind after all?

A blur of red yarn streaked towards her as something vaulted over the top. "It really is you!" Jessie hooted, rushing to embrace Bo. The hug managed to be exuberant and careful all at the same time. Jessie held her at arm's length for a moment as if checking to make sure she wasn't mistaken before pulling Bo close again, rocking from side to side. "Gee, I was beginning to think Woody's been makin' you up! I'm so glad he wasn't!" Releasing her hold Jessie performed a quick line dance, kicking her heels in the air and ending with a "Yee-Haw!"

"Ya gotta tell me everything!" Jessie demanded. Bo was too stunned to speak.

"What family were you adopted by?" prodded Jessie

"The Sylvestries" The words flew from Bo's mouth without thought.

"Ooh that's a fun name! What were they like?" And suddenly Bo found herself telling Jessie all about her life the past several years. The little girl she had been purchased for and the baby sister that followed soon after. The other toys of the nursery that she never got to meet. Her homesickness for Andy's room.

It was easy to talk with Jessie. The cowgirl never batted an eye at Bo's scars. It was like she couldn't see them. Bo could almost believe that she wasn't broken. Almost.

"…and then after – after I fell Mrs. Sylvestrie donated me to a daycare center and Mrs. Anderson brought me home for Bonnie."

"Well, I'll be!" Jessie shook her head in amazement. "What are the chances of you making it into the same room as us?"

"Who else made it here with you? Woody, and I think I've heard Buzz and Rex…"

Jessie nodded "Slinky, Hamm, Bullseye, the Potato Heads, and the LGMs are here too."

"Did you all end up in a yardsale?"

"What? Ya mean Woody hasn't told ya?" And with that, Jessie launched into the tale of their journey from Andy's room to Sunnyside, back to Andy's room, and their subsequent arrival in Bonnie's.

"Wow" Bo was dazed by all this new information. "You guys have been through quite a bit, haven't you?"

"Jessie, we need you down here!" called Buzz from below. Jessie winked at Bo.

"That's my cue to quit pesterin' ya. I reckon I've about talked your ear off by now, huh? But I've just missed our girl talks sooo much! Especially when it comes to Buzz" Jessie rolled her eyes. "I don't need advice on how to snag him anymore, thank goodness, but how the heck am I gonna get that man to kiss me? I swear he just can't take a hint, and Bonnie certainly is not helping. Next time you're gonna hafta tell me…" Jessie looked up suddenly "I can come back and visit you again sometime? You're not mad at me?"

Bo smiled tentatively. "I think…I'd like that. I've missed this, too."

"Jessie!"

"I'm coming, Buzz!" Jessie threw her arms around Bo once more. This time Bo returned the embrace. "I'll be seeing ya, Bo" Jessie promised, disappearing beneath the rim of the bookshelf.
