Woody and Jessie watched sadly from the sofa as Dena left the apartment. The three day weekend was over and their owners were taking her home.

"It was fun while it lasted," Jessie murmured as she pulled the rubber band out of her hair.

"Yeah," Woody said with a sigh. "What are you doing?"

Jessie had jumped off the sofa and was now looking under it. Her hair hung loose around her face and her shoulders, giving her an impish look.

"I'm looking for my hair ribbon," She told him. "I know it landed on the floor somewhere."

"I have it," Woody said, jumping down to join her. He took his hat off and showed her the hair ribbon, which was neatly rolled up inside.

Jessie gave him a confused look as she took her hair ribbon back.

"I figured you wouldn't want to lose it. So, when no one was looking, I put it under my hat."

"Thanks," Jessie muttered, smiling as she re-braided her hair. "That was sweet of you."

"Don't you think you should wait for Emily to came back to braid it for you?"

"She won't notice and, if she does, she'll think Dena did it."

"Yeah, but…"

"Woody, I'm not going to have a rat's nest on my head, for who knows how long," Jessie told him firmly.

Woody didn't argue with her, but he had to admit that he was glad she was re-braiding her hair; she just didn't look like herself without it.

Later, when their owners came home, they put the dolls back on the bookshelf. As Jessie had said, Emily didn't notice her hair.

"I'm beat," Woody's owner admitted, flopping down on the sofa.

"Me too," Said Emily, joining him. "I never knew taking care of kid could be so tiring. I'm not ready to be a mother yet."

"Good, because I'm not ready to a father either."

It was heart breaking for Woody and Jessie to hear their owners talking wanting to wait a while before having children. Later that night when their owners were asleep, Woody turned to Jessie and said: "I can't believe they want to wait to have kids."

"I know. It's not fair. How long do you think they'll wait?"

"Who knows? I don't want to think about it."

"Maybe they'll change their minds?"

More months went by and soon it was Halloween. With their owners at a Halloween party, Woody and Jessie, once again, were alone in the apartment.

"Ready to watch a scary movie?" Jessie asked, turning on the TV.

"Yep, what are we watching?" Woody asked, joining her on the coffee table.

"It's called 'The Watcher in the Woods.' It's a Disney movie!" Jessie told him brightly.

"How scary can it be if it's a cartoon?"

"It's not a cartoon! It's live action! Here, I'll read you what it says in the TV guide. 'When an American family rents a house from Mrs. Aylwood, a series of unexplainable phenomena grab hold of sisters Jan and Ellie. Together with Mrs. Aylwood, they will unravel the mystery. Experience the suspense and witness the terrifyingly powerful presence that is THE WATCHER IN THE WOODS!' And not only that, but it's rated PG, so it has to be scary." Jessie told him.

"You have a point there," Woody said as the movie started. "Say Jess," Woody began.

"Hmm?"

"If the movie gets really scary, you're not going to jump into my arms are you?" He teased.

"No, are you?"

"What? Jump in my own arms?"

Jessie playfully smacked him in response.

For their credit, neither Woody nor Jessie jumped into each other's arms; but there were times during the movie when they would grab each other's arms. Neither toy said anything to the other about it though, knowing that they both had been a little scared.

Thanksgiving came around and so did Christmas; once again, Woody and Jessie were watching TV while their owners were away at a party. This time, they were watching Walt Disney's 'Babes in Toyland'. The two were enjoying the movie very much. The two romantic leads in the movie were in the workshop making toys when the character of Mary picked up a doll and began to sing.

'Smiling eyes golden hair/

Made with such a love and care/

She just a toy/

What a thrill it will be when she's found beneath the tree/ By some little girl Christmases morning/

And her true life will start when she taken to heart with childhood joy/

And you never believe all the love she'll receive/

Though just a toy.'

Then the character of Tom began to sing.

'I'd love to see beneath my Christmases tree/

One special doll meant for me/

Smiling eyes, skinned hair/

'Yarn hair,' Woody mentally corrected.

'You'll need such love and care/

You're just a toy/

You were planned and designed/

With one person in mind/

To hold you and keep you forever/

And you'll live for the love and the happiness of this lonely boy/

And each night he will say in a whimsical way/

You're just a toy.

Once the song ended, Woody realized that he had been thinking of Jessie during Tom's part of the song. It was at that moment that he suddenly became aware of the fact that Jessie was a girl. Oh, he had always known she was a girl. She had even pointed that out to him. He remembered the day he had thought about kissing her. But that had been her fault since she had been so close to him that it was only natural for him to think like that.

Only natural; it was just the two of them there and a romantic song was being sung. Maybe that was why he was thinking about her during the song? He turned his head and looked at her. She was lying on her stomach, with her knees bent and propping herself up on her elbows. She was a cowgirl doll; he was a cowboy doll; she liked western movies; he liked western movies; she was a favorite toy and he was a favorite toy. In a way it was as if Jessie had been made for just him.

But he knew he shouldn't be thinking about her in that way because it was only the two of them. What if he was only beginning to feel that certain way about Jessie because she was just there? Would he be feeling this way if Jessie had been some other kind of doll? And what if Jessie didn't feel the same way he was starting to feel about her and he told her it would be awkward for both of them. He decided he wasn't going to say anything to her about how he was starting to feel or act on it.
