Ch.9- Dr. Dino

"I don't want to go!"cried Bonnie as Andy picked her up and carried her out the door.

"You can't make me!"she screamed.

"Sweetie,"Andy said calmly. "I love you like my own little sister. I don't want you to get sick, so I'm taking you to your pediatrican for a check-up."

"Oh good. I thought I was going to the doctor!"she said relieved.

"It's a doctor for children Bonnie,"he said still holding her gently but firmly.

"Well! I don't think I like him!"she said snapping and frowning at Andy.

"Rex went to the doctor once!"Andy said.

"Sorry to hear that,"she said holding the green dinosaur.

"It wasn't so bad!"Andy said chuckling taking Rex from her.

"Well what happened?"she asked.

"I think I'll tell you in the waiting room, so we can get going!"he told her.

"Ok."Bonnie sighed still holding onto Andy as he put her in her booster seat.

"We're here!"Andy said taking her by the hand.
"So many shots in this place,"Bonnie said truly frightened.

"Now Bonnie,"he said still holding her as he sat down. "I wouldn't take you anyplace I thought you would get hurt at, but it's up to the doctor whether you get a shot."

"Please tell me about Rex!"she said showing him she brought the Scrapbook.

"Ok it'll be fine,"said Andy. "Once a year all the toys went to Dr. Dino for a check-up. They were all ready except Rex who was scared she would give him a shot."
"Rex ,a shot's only medicine! It will hurt for a few seconds, but will ease up!"Woody said.

"I know,"Rex sighed. "BUT THOSE FEW SECONDS ARE TORTURE! TORTURE I TELL YOU!"

"Calm down,"Buzz ordered Rex.

"Ok,"said Rex.

"Hoo-wee!"Jessie said after her check-up. "She gives some stickers for such a little thing!" She smile as she stuck her sticker on her hat for all to see.

"I g-g-g-uess it's my turn,"Rex said nervously walking with the nurse. The nurse was very kind, and told him to step on a scale and measured his height. Rex forgot about being nervous shortly afterwards. In fact some of the doctors' things were pretty interesting. Dr. Dino wrapped his arm up and squeezed a little rubber thing to test his blood pressure. She gently tapped his legs, causing them to kick much to Rex's amusement. She shined a light into his eyes, nose, and mouth, but not his ears since he had none. Then carrying a needle he started to gulp, but Dr. Dino put out of her arms and told Rex to squeeze it as tight as he could.

"Alright I'm ready for the vaccination!"Rex said.
"It's done dear,"she said taking him off the stand. "Here's your reward!" she said handing him stickers with his favorite video game characters on them. "Thanks!"Rex said walking out. Most of the kids had crowded around to hear Andy's story better, and Andy was about to read them more stories , but much to their disappointment Bonnie was called in just then. Bonnie bravely held Andy's hand, as he placed her on the examination table.

"Hello Bonnie,"said the doctor. Bonnie nervously shook the doctor's hand, but remembered Andy was there and nothing would really hurt her. Bonnie almost enjoyed the check-up. The doctor tickled her tummy while he was examining her.

"Now it's time for your shot,"he said. "Squeeze Andy's hand tightly."he told her. Bonnie did as she was told.

"Don't let go please!"Bonnie said.

"It's done buddy,"Andy said taking her in his arms. Andy using a free finger pointed to the Finding Nemo and Little Mermaid stickers. He handed them to her.

"My favorites how did he know?"Bonnie asked. Andy winked as he carried a much happier Bonnie out the door.

"Excuse me young man,"a woman holding a little boy's hand said. The boy ran over to hug Andy's leg. "My son was terrified of the doctor, but your cute little story. It actually helped him not to be afraid. I appreciate it. You'll be a great father one day."she said. Bonnie patiently waited as each mother and father stopped Andy to chat with him. Some asked him to watch their children, others just asked how to think of more ways to comfort their kids.

"See Andy? I told you it was absolutely nothing to worry about,"Bonnie said. "You were so scared they would hurt me!"

"Yes I should have known what a brave young lady you are,"Andy said as he gently placed her in the car seat as they drove home.

"That will help me for my check-up!"Jessie said.

"What do you mean?"asked Bo Peep confused.

"At the doll hospital!"

Authors note-I DO know Bo Peep isn't in Toy Story 3, but I love her and want her in my stories.
