Chapter 7: Quickie Kiss
"Guess what guys! Mom says I can take two of you to Sunnyside for the day," Bonnie announced gleefully. She jumped into her bedroom, after just finishing her sugary breakfast. She lined up all her toys on her bed and scanned her eyes up and down the line before deciding on Woody and Buzz. She placed the cowboy and space ranger by her backpack.
"Bonnie, have you brushed your teeth?" Marie called.
"No," Bonnie chimed. She skipped out the room and towards the bathroom.
Jessie felt the uncertainty in her stomach. She didn't want Buzz to go back to Sunnyside. None of the toys knew what had happened to the day care after they escaped from it. Had Lotso made his way back? Were Big Baby, Twitch, Sparks, Chunk and Stretch working for him? What was worse though, was the thought if Woody and Buzz never returned.
Jessie shuddered. She reached for her braid and followed the rest of the toys down off the bed, onto the wicker basket and onto the floor. They all headed over to Woody and Buzz, the two of them were standing by Bonnie's backpack.
"Make sure you boys, be careful at Sunnyside," said Dolly.
"We will. I doubt Lotso made his way back and hopefully Barbie and Ken will still be there," said Woody, comfortingly.
"Still if that bear is there, loosen his stitches!" growled Slinky. His coils shook with anger. All of Andy's toys looked angry, Hamm was wearing a frown and even Rex had a livid glint in his eyes.
"Yeah after he kept us locked in crates and put me in the box!" shouted Mr Potato Head.
"Crates? The box?" Buzz asked. He didn't remember any of that. All he could recollect was the awful playtime with the toddlers and then waking up in the garbage truck. Woody shared a glance with Jessie and knew she was worrying that Buzz would find out about him being put in demo mode.
Up the hallway they heard Bonnie starting to leave the bathroom. The toys quickly said there goodbyes to Woody and Buzz before returning to the bed. Jessie, however, remained standing in front of Buzz.
"Jess, get back up on the bed," said Buzz. He hurried over to her and noticed how worried she looked. "What's the matter?" he asked, gently. He frowned, confused at why she would be upset. Jessie stared at the floor boarding so Buzz put a hand under Jessie's chin and raised her head so he could look up at her in the eyes.
"Please be careful at Sunnyside and watch your back," Jessie warned.
'What on Earth happened at Sunnyside that I missed, that's got them all so worried?' Buzz thought. As Bonnie's approaching footsteps got louder, Jessie didn't wait for a reply and scrambled towards Bonnie's bed. Buzz decided to follow her. He jumped onto the wicker basket just as Jessie turned around and was ready to freeze.
"What are you doin Buzz!" hissed Jessie. She watched him hurry over the quilt and he quickly tried to kiss her lips but ended up kissing the tip of her turned up nose. Jessie blinked startled but her eyes softened and she watched Buzz turn around.
"Don't worry, I'll be home before you know it," he quickly said, over his shoulder while running to the edge of the bed. He pushed the red button on his suit, his wings popped out and he soared down to the backpack. He landed on his feet and brought his wings back in and fell inanimate by Woody's side as Bonnie entered the room.
"Come on Buzz and Woody, lets go," cheered Bonnie, skipping towards the two toys. She put them in her backpack and the two of them jumbled about as Bonnie continued to skip down the hallway, out the open front door and into the car. Marie turned on the radio, which gave some cover for Buzz so he could speak to Woody.
"Woody, what happened to me at Sunnyside?" Buzz asked. He looked at Woody with seriousness held in his blue eyes.
"Nothing, honestly Buzz. It was nothing. You just hit your head pretty hard. That's what Jessie told me anyway when I returned," Woody lied. He was good at lying but he hated to do it. Woody knew the truth would only upset Buzz. He had been demo Buzz, bad Buzz to all his friends. Forgotten about them completely and sided with Lotso and his goons. Of course it hadn't been his fault, but all the toys knew Buzz wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he did know the truth.
Buzz continued to wear a frown. Why wasn't anyone giving him straight answers?
The car soon pulled up in the staff parking lot at Sunnyside. Bonnie jumped down out from the passenger seat and held her mothers hand as they walked into the day care. Marie led Bonnie to the cloak room where all the children hung there coats and bags on pegs. Before putting her bag on the red peg, Bonnie pulled out Buzz and Woody to take into the Butterfly room.
"Be good, I'm only at the reception desk if you need me," said Marie. She kissed her daughter's forehead and watched as Bonnie pushed open the door of the Butterfly room.
Already inside the colourful decorated room were a number of children and two supervising adults. Bonnie rushed over to her friend Mary Gibbs who was playing with Ken. Bonnie took Woody and Buzz on an adventure of some mysterious planet and Mary joined her by introducing Ken as the fashionable superstar who helps them out.
"Come on children, time for a break," said one of the supervising women, after an hour of playing. Bonnie dropped Buzz and Woody next to Ken and all the children rushed outside to the play area. When the door shut all the toys in the room came to life.
"FAROUT! How did you guys end up coming back here?" Ken exclaimed, standing up. Before either Woody or Buzz could answer, Ken started speaking again.
"Barbie has been worried sick. She hasn't got out of her tracksuit for days. She, well all of us, thought you weren't going to make it out of the dump alive. But now you're here. You are you right and not two different toys?" Ken asked.
"No it's us Ken," said Woody. Ken grinned and ran over to the Dream House. Buzz and Woody exchanged glances.
"Barbie! You won't believe who's here," Ken yelled, happily.
"Who?" Barbie asked, her voice coming out from inside the house. Barbie's head poked out from one of the windows and she spotted Buzz and Woody. They waved at her and her mouth dropped.
"You're alive! I'll be down in a sec," said Barbie. She closed the window doors and Ken walked back over to Woody and Buzz. Around them all the toys started to move and head over to their friends and started to play. Woody could see there was much happiness in the room, compared to when Lotso welcomed them all.
"She's just getting changed," explained Ken. Buzz and Woody nodded their heads.
"So Lotso, is he here?" Woody asked. Ken shook his head.
"He hasn't come back. What happened to him at the dump?" Ken asked.
"We're not sure, but we'll talk about that later," said Woody. Ken nodded his head and Barbie came down the lift at the side of the Dream House. She was wearing her turquoise unitard, striped leg warmers and had her pink scarf wrapped around her hair, her pink belt and her pink high heeled shoes on. Once she reached Buzz and Woody she gave them a hug each, tightly squeezing them around their necks.
"Is everyone else okay? Jessie? Rex? The Potato Heads? Slink-,"
"Yeah Barbie everyone is fine. We all live at Bonnie Anderson's house now, she's our new owner," said Buzz. Barbie let go of his neck and walked backwards to stand next to Ken.
"Bonnie? Oh she's the daughter of the receptionist isn't she? She's a sweet girl. But guys, what happened at the dump? We thought you had been lost forever. Come into the Dream House and we'll talk," Barbie suggested. Woody and Buzz followed Ken and Barbie into Ken's Dream House and struggled to get through the door while Barbie and Ken had no trouble at all.
The four toys sat around a small plastic table. Woody's hat brushed the ceiling so he took it off and kept it in his hands. Barbie and Ken questioned Woody and Buzz about everything that had happened after the dumpster truck toppled the toys inside. Woody spoke first as Buzz couldn't remember anything until he had been woken up by Jessie kissing the side of his face.
"He didn't push the button!" Barbie cried outraged, when Buzz finished telling her about Lotso betraying them once again. Ken glared and pounded his first into his hand, menacingly.
"If that bear ever comes here again I swear I'll...do something," Ken threatened. Woody finished telling the story of how the aliens saved them, returning back to Andy's house and finally being donated to Bonnie.
"So what's been happening at Sunnyside now that Lotso isn't in charge?" Woody asked, once Ken had finished wiping the nonexistent tears from his eyes.
"Well, Ken and I are in charge now," said Barbie. Woody and Buzz raised their eyebrows.
"Yep, we're making this place cool and groovy!" Ken put in, placing his hands on his waist.
"All the toys have agreed to alternate days in the Caterpillar room and we always have extra toys in the room in hiding to take over if someone has had enough," explained Barbie.
"Wow, that's really good. Those toddlers were a nightmare," said Buzz. Barbie smiled at him and a realisation came into her mind.
"Ken, honey, why don't you get the guys and I'll show Buzz and Woody around to see what we've done," Barbie said. She gave Ken a piercing glance and quickly nodded her head in Buzz's direction. Ken followed her gaze and the realisation Barbie had, burst forth in his mind as well.
"Of course my sweetheart, make sure you show them the plans for welcoming future donated toys," said Ken. He walked to the door before hurrying back to Barbie.
"Noses," he murmured. Barbie smiled and the two of them brushed their noses against each others. Woody looked around the room, avoiding his eyes from the scene and Buzz frowned at the two plastic toys. What are they doing? He thought. Ken soon moved away and walked out the Dream House. Barbie blushed when she spotted Woody and Buzz staring at her.
"It's our cute way of giving each other a kiss and telling one another that we love each other," Barbie said, with a giggle. Now Buzz understood. Barbie led Buzz and Woody outside of the Dream House and showed them the plans. While Buzz was engrossed in the plans and Barbie was giving him all the details, Woody scanned the room and spotted Chatter Telephone by the big chair.
"Hey you fixed him up," said Woody, gladly. Barbie looked up and saw Woody was looking at the aged telephone toy.
"Yeah, go over there. I'm sure he'll want to speak to you," said Barbie. Woody smiled and did just that. The cowboys back was turned as he spoke to the telephone so he never noticed Ken retuning back from the Caterpillar room with Big Baby, Stretch, Sparks, Chunk and Twitch following him. They all wore a guilty expression on their faces.
"Erm Buzz?" Ken coughed. Buzz turned around and saw the group of them standing behind him. "The guys and I want to say sorry for what we did to you while we were in Lotso's command," said Ken. A line of the word 'sorry' came from the five other toys.
"What are you apologising for?" Buzz asked. The six toys looked back and forth at one another.
"You mean you don't remember?" Ken asked shocked.
"Remember what?" asked Buzz. This was making him nervous now. What had they done to him?
"Wooo, we got off the hook," cheered Stretch. Barbie frowned.
"No you didn't Stretch," she said, firmly. Barbie turned to gaze at Buzz with a softer look. "You really don't remember what happened?" she asked. Buzz shook his head, feeling vulnerable. Something bad must have happened and he didn't know what. It scared him.
"Barbie," said Buzz. "Can you tell me what happened?"
"Of course I can Buzz. Let's walk and talk," said Barbie. Buzz walked next to Barbie as she led him pass the toilets and into the Caterpillar room.
"Well after the rough playtime you guys had in here. You decided to go see Lotso about being transferred into the Butterfly room, where I was with Ken. I didn't know about this until I saw the guys being forced in cages and Ken told me once I questioned him about it. Anyway, you got out of the room and found Stretch, Twitch, Chunk and Ken in the vending machine," said Barbie. They slowly walked around the room. Parts of it were coming back to Buzz now at Barbie's every word, he remembered the vending machine and climbing inside it, watching the four toys placing bets and...
"And you bumped into Big Baby. The guys tied you to a chair and Lotso gave the order to...,"
"Switch me to demo mode," Buzz finished. He remembered the Bookworm getting the manual for a Buzz Lightyear Action Figure, he remembered Sparks unscrewing the bolts on his back and them accessing the switch. Anger towards Lotso built up inside Buzz. But Buzz then realised why he had a memory blank. He hadn't been his normal self, he had been Demo Buzz.
He grabbed Barbie's shoulders and turned her to face him.
"What did I do?" he asked, begging for an answer, even though he didn't want to hear it.
"Lotso convinced you that Sunnyside was Star Command and that all of us were working for Zurg," Barbie answered quietly. Buzz brought his hands to his face and took in a deep breath.
"You then put all the guys in the boxes, over there by the window. I came into the room then and was placed in a cage as well. I didn't like what Ken was doing. They put Mr Potato Head in the sandbox outside for the entire night and you were left to patrol and keep guard of us," said Barbie. Buzz lowered his hands.
"Did I say anything to Jessie?" he asked, fretfully.
"You called her a temptress," Barbie said. Buzz let out a groan. Barbie filled him in when Woody came back and they planned their escape and how to switch Buzz back to normal. Barbie stopped walking near a unit full of trays of pens, pencils, crayons, glitter, glue and felt. She reached underneath and pulled out the Buzz Lightyear Action Figure Manual that they hadn't returned to the Bookworm yet. She handed it to Buzz and they sat on the floor, Buzz flipped through the pages of the manual.
"So Rex and Hamm tackled you to the floor and we opened up your back. The switch didn't work so Hamm read out what we had to do. Rex put his finger in the small hole on your back and he left it in there for to long because you started to speak Spanish," said Barbie.
Buzz looked at her as if she was joking.
"I did what?" he asked, taken aback.
"You spoke Spanish and acted it. The manual was in Spanish for the instructions on how to switch the Spanish off so we had to leave you like it," said Barbie. Buzz flipped through the pages and found the Spanish words, his eyes widened when he realised he could read and understand it.
"It says you had to push the button in again for another five seconds," said Buzz. Barbie's eyes widened and she leaned over to read the manual.
"You can still read Spanish? Can you speak it to? I bet Jessie would love that," giggled Barbie. Buzz pulled a face.
"Why would Jessie like it?"
"Oh because she was so smitten when you protected her, gave her the look as if she was an angel and you did a Spanish dance type thing in front of her. It was so funny how you behaved," said Barbie, grinning.
Mr Potato Head's words from yesterday rang in Buzz's memory. 'And Jessie gets some Spanish action!' Is that all she wanted from him, Spanish Buzz and not the real him? Had that been why she was worried about him coming to Sunnyside. So he didn't have to find out the truth that all she wanted out of him was a romantic Spaniard.
"Are you alright?" Barbie asked, noticing that Buzz had been silent for some time.
"I'm fine," he lied, letting out a deep sigh.
What will happen in the next chapter, hmmm?
No preview of the kiss, it's what a cliffhanger is for! Muhahahaha.
