All of Bonnie's toys were asleep in bed with their owner. Then Woody woke up. He jumped off the bed and walked over to the door where Bonnie's bag was hanging. He climbed up on the chair and looked at the label. "'1225 Sycamore Street'," he read.
"Woody?"
Woody turned around to see Bonnie's toys were off the bed and looking at him.
"What are you doing?" asked Pricklepants.
"I need to get out of here," said Woody.
"Get out?" cried Trixie.
"But you just got here," said Dolly.
"Besides, didn't you have fun today?" asked Buttercup.
"Of course I did," said Woody. "More fun than I've had in years."
"Wasn't Bonnie's delicious cooking the best you've ever had?" asked Pricklepants.
"Oh, yeah," said Woody. "Pretending to like pretend food is a piece of cake. And tasteless!"
"And isn't this room the cutest ever?" asked Trixie.
"Apart from Bonnie's body odour, yes," replied Woody. "But the point is that I belong to someone else." He showed the writing under his boot.
"Who the hell is 'Yid-nah'?" asked Buttercup.
"I believe it's pronounced 'Yid-nay'," said Pricklepants.
"Wait, I think it says 'Yid-nook'."
"No, it's 'Yid-dick'."
"'Yid-mock'!" snapped Buttercup.
"'Yid-arm'!" Pricklepants snapped back.
"'Yid-bastard'!" shouted Buttercup. Then he laughed. "Get it? Yid bastard, because that's what you are!"
"Guys, there's a girl asleep in bed so watch your languages!" shouted Dolly.
"Well, I'm not the one who swore," protested Prickle pants.
"Besides, the writing under Woody's boot says 'Andy'," she went on.
Woody jumped down from the chair. "He's my owner and he's leaving for college. I need to get home."
"Where's home?" asked one of the peas.
"234 Elm Street," replied Woody.
"Why are you going to back home if he's going to college?" asked Pricklepants.
"Did it ever occur to your diva brain that Andy wants me to go to college with him?" snapped Woody. Then he turned to the rest of the toys. "Now, do you guys have a map?"
"Trixie?" said Dolly.
"What? I don't have a map," said Trixie.
"No, I meant, fire up the computer and download Google Maps," said Dolly.
"Oh, right," said Trixie.
Minutes later, the toys were in the Andersons' office room and the computer was on. Google Maps was on.
"Okay," said Woody, as he started typing. "Two, three, four Elm – "
Then a message on the screen appeared. It said, 'Hey, have you checked out these new dinosaur toy models? Oh, my god, they are so hot!'
"Who's Velocistar237?" asked Woody.
"Oh, that's just a toy from down the street," said Trixie. She nudged Woody out of the way and started typing. "Let me take care of that."
"Is she hot?" asked Woody.
"She's a saber-toothed tiger toy," replied Trixie.
"Ah," said Woody, feeling embarrassed.
"Have a thing for saber-teeth, do you?" teased Pricklepants.
Bonnie's toys laughed at him.
"Ha, ha," said Woody. "Not like you would have known."
"Well, Trixie does like to keep herself private," said Dolly.
"And we have to respect it," said Buttercup.
"Unlike mine," moaned Pricklepants. "You guys ask me stupid questions and torment me like paparazzi!"
"Okay," said Trixie after she finished typing. "All yours again."
"All right," said Woody, as he resumed his typing. "Street. Now, click 'Directions'."
Trixie clicked the button and the directions were downloading.
"Please don't be far," said Woody, closing his eyes. "Please don't be far. Please don't be far. Please don't be far. Please don't be far. Please don't be far. Please don't – "
"Woody, the directions were uploaded twenty seconds ago," said Buttercup.
Woody opened his eyes and saw how Buttercup was right. "It's around the corner?" he gasped as he read the screen. "It's just around the corner!"
Woody laughed and danced as he jumped off the chair. The toys followed him to the kitchen.
"Thanks a lot for your help, you guys," said Woody, as he opened the cat flap on the kitchen door. "If you guys make it to Sunnyside, tell my friends Woody made it, okay?"
"You came from Sunnyside Daycare?" asked Dolly.
"How did you escape?" asked Trixie.
"Well, I had to sneak out of the window of the boys' bathroom," explained Woody. "It wasn't half smelly, but it was the only – W-h-h-h-a-a-a-a-t-t-t-t?" He dropped the cat flap. "How do you mean, escape?"
"Sunnyside Daycare is a place of ruin and despair run by an evil strawberry-scent teddy bear," said Pricklepants.
"Lotso?" cried Woody.
"The guy may seem sweet and cute on the outside," said Buttercup, "but underneath all his fluff, he is a complete bastard. In fact, he might be the Hitler, Stalin or Darth Vader in the history of the toys."
"But how do you know this?" asked Woody.
Pricklepants turned left. "Chuckles. He'll tell you."
Woody turned left and saw an old, fat, bald clown toy on the kitchen windowsill. "That miserable guy on the windowsill?"
"Thanks for the sympathy," said Chuckles. "But, yeah, I knew Lotso. He was a good toy, a great friend and very attractive. Me and him, we had the same owner, Daisy."
As Chuckles explained, Lotso was a Christmas present to both their owner, Daisy. She loved Chuckles and Big Baby, but Lotso was special.
Then one day Daisy and her parents went for a picnic in the countryside. After the picnic, Daisy's parents took a sleeping Daisy back to the car and drove off, leaving Lotso, Chuckles and Big Baby behind. She never came back.
Many days later…
"It's been five days," said Lotso. "If they're not coming back, we might as well make our way back home ourselves."
"But do you even know the way home?" asked Chuckles.
"I remember Daisy holding me near her window in the car," Lotso told him. "So I memorized the route. Now, follow me."
"Okay," said Big Baby. "But if I fall into quicksand, I'll sue you for every plastic cent Daisy gave you."
Lotso didn't reply. He just led Chuckles and Big Baby through the field.
After a long walk through countless fields, the toys had reached Daisy's house.
"I've just been wandering," said Big Baby.
Lotso and Chuckles turned around to face him.
"Do you think, while we were lost, Daisy might have replaced us?" he asked.
Lotso and Chuckles thought about it.
"Well, it's unlikely," said Lotso.
"But not impossible," said Chuckles. "That's good thinking, Big Baby. We don't want to do get our hopes too high."
"Oh, I think we'll be all right," said Lotso. "Now, come on."
The toys reached Daisy's window. Big Baby lifted Lotso and Chuckles. They saw Daisy in bed. They were very happy to see her again until she lowered her book down. Lotso and Chuckles were horrified as they saw another Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear with Daisy.
Big Baby lowered Lotso and Chuckles down. Lotso walked ahead and took a deep breath. Then he frowned.
"She replaced us," he said. "Come on."
"Wow, wait a minute," said Chuckles. "I didn't see another me or Big – "
"She replaced all of us, didn't she?" Lotso snapped, as he glared at the clown toy.
Big Baby thought about what Chuckles said. "Maybe I could find out who's telling the truth."
He tried to climb up to the window, but Lotso pulled him down.
"She don't love you no more!" Lotso yelled, as he tore Big Baby's name tag off and threw it away. "Now, come on!"
Big Baby cried as Lotso dragged him away. A horrified Chuckles had no choice but to follow him.
One rainy night, Lotso, Chuckles and Big Baby were on the outside of a Pizza Planet truck. It hit a big hole in the road and the toys fell off. There in front of them was the building of Sunnyside Daycare.
Lotso got up and stormed towards the building.
"Do you think we should follow him?" Big Baby asked Chuckles.
"I don't know what else to do," Chuckles sighed.
They followed the nasty pink teddy bear.
"And so Lotso became dictator of Sunnyside Daycare and he wasn't my friend anymore," concluded Chuckles. "I sure do miss his furry body. Hmm."
"But how did he make himself dictator of Sunnyside?" asked Woody.
"The leader before him was a King Joffrey doll," explained Chuckles. "Lotso ripped that boy king to bits. Then everyone bowed to him and didn't feel like disobeying him."
"So how did you get out?" Woody asked.
"I got broke and Bonnie found me and took pity on me," replied Chuckles. "Lucky me, eh? Unlike other toys."
"Unlike my friends!" cried Woody. "The ones who I left behind!"
"You can't go back now," said Buttercup.
"Returning now would be suicide," said Pricklepants.
"What about your Andy?" asked Dolly.
"Isn't he leaving for college?" asked Trixie.
Woody was just silent. He was trying to make his mind up.
"Do you want some milk and cookies while you think?" asked Totoro.
"Not helping, Totoro!" snapped Woody. He just couldn't decide what to do.
"Well, if you are going back to Sunnyside," said Chuckles who still didn't turn around, "you'll need this."
The miserable clown threw something to Woody who caught it. It was a name tag and had 'Daisy' on it.
