Chapter 20: Return of the LGMs.
They walked into a large classroom that was light green and full children. Fun posters and finger painting pictures hung from the walls.
"Oh good, you're here." Bo said coming over with a little girl in her arms.
" It's about time. I've been getting non stop questions of when the cupcakes would arrive. And that was just from the other staff members."
"Cupcakes?" asked the shy little girl clinging to her neck.
"Thats right sweetie pie! We brought yummy cupcakes for Andy Day."
The little girl smiled at Jessie, then sheepishly hid her face in Bo's golden curls.
"Okay everybody, everyone gather up on the play rug." Bo Announced.
The children ran excitedly to the play rug and sat down.
"Now Jessie and Buzz have brought cupcakes for everyone, for the Andy Town Day celebration, Can we all say thank you for picking them up?"
" Thank you." The whole class chimed in.
"Very good!"
She turned to Jessie. "Do you think you could grab the plates?"
"Yep per- rooney, I'm on it."
" Buzz, would you mind holding Bonnie for a second? I'm going to help pass out the cupcakes. She's a little shy At first, but she'll warm up to you." Bo glanced at the other children on the play rug. "l normally would set her down with the other children, But she just has a hard time making friends."
Buzz held Bonnie awkwardly, he was never around many children, but was happy to take her. He did love children.
The little girl in his arms stared up at him, she had large brown eyes and short curly hair. She was a cute little thing.
" So you have a hard time making friends?" He asked her.
Bonnie nodded quietly.
"Me too." He whispered in confidence.
"Im Buzz Lightyear of Star Command." He held his hand out for her to shake.
She smiled up at him.
"Bonnie." She shook his hand, her small one being swallowed by his larger one.
"You have a Funny name. She said giggling.
"You think so?"
She nodded, making her small curls bob up and down.
"It sounds like you are a Bee. Buzz- Buzz-" She made little motions with her hands to replicate a Bees wings. "Do you make Honey?"
"No. My job is a Elettie Intergalactic Space Ranger."
Bonnie looked at him confused. "What's that?"
"Lets just say I'm a Special astronaut. I fight bad guys and make sure people are safe."
"So you're like a cop! My dads a cop."
"Sorta, would you like to hear some stories from my work?"
Bonnie nodded and laid her head against his shoulder settling in to listen.
While Buzz started to bond with Bonnie in the corner, Jessie started handing out cupcakes with Bo.
" Hey, I was worried about you yesterday. Woody said you didn't come home until two."
"Yeah we were fine. I actually got to ride with him and his jetpack to Area 51. I even got to meet another extraterrestrial!"
" See, I try not to worry about you, but then you say things like that."
"He didn't look like Buzz though," Continued Jessie. "He looked like the stereotype you see in the movies. He was small, grayish and had large black bulb like eyes."
"Well yeah, I can't imagine anyone looking like Buzz, I mean look at his face. Hes so handsome, he could be a greek god."
No argument there, she thought.
They both looked back to Buzz.
He was now entertaining a group of children, as they sat there in awe, silently eating there cupcakes. Listening to the stories of his last space adventure.
Another child jumped up on his lap and Buzz didn't even seem to notice.
"Wow they're being so quiet." Bo observed.
They heard the box in front of them fall, and both returned their attention back to the cupcakes.
Three little kids, that looked to be triplets, were gobbling frosting and crumbs up off the floor.
"The Cupcakes!" Bo said in dismay.
"We at least everyone got one."
"The kids did. But none of the staff."
"Um, Bo, whose kids are these? I don't recognize them from you class."
Bo looked at them closely.
"Well they're not mine. In fact I don't recognize them at all."
The three boys had blonde hair, bright green eyes and were covered in
Blue frosting.
"Excuse me fellas? Where's your momma?"
They all turned to look at Jessie, and in unison said. "We dont have any parents."
"Ok...Where did you little guys come from?" All three heads once again turned in unison and smiled at Bo.
"We come- "
"- from planet A113- "
"- also known as Venus."
They said completing the same sentence separately.
"Come again?" Jessie asked.
"The staaarrrssss..." They all pointed upward.
It was then Jessie noticed, their pale childs skin flicker green, and saw another third eye appear in between their foreheads.
Jessie grabbed his sister-in-laws arms.
"Bo, they're aliens! Just like Buzz."
"You think so? What do we do with them?" Bo asked.
"I don't know! ... We could ask Buzz. Let him deal with it."
At the mention of Buzzs name their heads snapped to attention.
"BUZZLIGHTYEARRRRR." They said smiling to each other.
"Do you know him? Are you his friends?" Jessie asked.
"Go get Buzz." Bo suggested.
Jessie nodded and went over to the play rug to retrieve him.
"-And then right as I entered the cavern of teeth-"
"Buzz could I see you for a minute?"
Buzz looked up surprised. As if he had forgotten he wasn't reliving a past adventure.
He got up from the play rug and gently set the children clinging to him back down on the ground.
"Jessie what's the matter?"
Jessie looked down at the children as if to say 'not in front of them.'
She motioned with her finger for Buzz to follow her.
After they were out of hearing distance from the children. Jessie turn to Buzz and said "There are other aliens here."
" What!? Where?! My indicator should have gone off Alerting me to the presence of another extraterrestrial."
"Well it didn't go off, and they're here. Plus they ate all of Bos cupcakes."
Buzz pulled out his Compact indicator and looked at it. "I don't see anything on my radar." Buzz said frustrated.
Bo rushed over to Jessie and Buzz.
"Jessie they're gone! I don't know what happened. I just turned my back for one second and they disappeared!"
" What did they look like, sound like? Any mannerisms at all that you can describe to me so I can figure out what they are." Buzz asked her intensely.
"They just looked like harmless little boys."
"No wait a minute, I remember seeing something like an image over an image. It kind of flickered and then I saw green and three eyes..."
"Oh," Buzz smiled, visibly relaxing. " I know what they are. They're LGM's also known as Little Green Men. Native to the planet Venus. They're quite harmless really and quite productive. Sometimes, they can morph into something that they're not, for example, like a human child. But if you saw the image flicker then that means they don't have complete strength over their abilities. They're not completely fully grown. They themselves must be kids."
" So what do we do? Is it okay for them to just be wandering around like that?" Jessie placed her hands on her hips.
"Technically there's nothing we can do. LGMs just do what they want to do."
"If they are kids does that mean they're going to be okay? I mean shouldn't they be supervised?" Bo asked full of worry.
"LGMs Are quite capable of taking care of themselves. There kind does not believe in parenting. They simply have their children and then the children learn how to take care of themselves."
"So the parents just abandon their kids! That's horrible!" Bo said instinctively and placed a hand over her tummy.
"It's their way of life." Buzz said shrugging.
Before Jessie could ask another question a little boy came up to Buzz, pulled on his shirt and said "Will you finish your story?"
Bo placed a gentle hand on the kid's shoulder. "Actually Sid, it's time for you guys to have recess."
"Alright recess!" He did a fist pump in the air and ran to gather up the toys he was going to take outside. Stealing a doll right out of hands of another little girl, he laughed, as she started to cry.
"Sid! That wasn't very nice. Give Molly back her doll." Bo scolded.
"But There are any other dolls To play with!"
Sid Complained.
"You can play with me and my Doll." Came a quiet voice from the corner.
All three adults and Sid, looked towards the voice hiding behind Buzzs leg. There stood Little Bonnie holding a frowning clown in her hands. "I named him Chuckles, and we live in a circus together. I was going to be a lion tamer but I have no lion…" Her voice trailed off uncertainly.
"I can be a lion! ROARRRRR!" Sid said clawing the air and snapping his teeth.
"The slide can be our tent!"
"Yeah!"
The two children now very excited to play their game ran past the adults and outside to the play ground.
"I never thought I'd see the day where Bonnie would willingly go and play with another kid." Bo said amazed.
She turned to look at Buzz. "You must have had left a good impression on her."
" Oh no, ma'am I don't think that's-"
"It must have been your stories with all your adventures. Maybe it made her want to have adventures too."
She looked out the window to see the two children playing underneath the slide. "Buzz I don't care what you are, but I'm glad you came to my classroom today."
Before Buzz could answer her, another teacher walked back into the classroom from outside. "Bo Could you come help me pushing the kids on the swings? I only have two arms you know." The other teacher said playfully.
"Oh, yes of course!"
She turned back to Jessie and Buzz. "Thank you for bringing my cupcakes. I will see you guys at supper." She gave Jessie a kiss on the cheek for helping her and then walked out the door with the other teacher.
Looking back through the window Buzz saw Bonnie waving goodbye to him and then ran off with her new friend Sid.
Buzz waved back and watched her go. He turned to find Jessie staring strangely at him.
"What?"
" Nothing." She said smiling. "let's head back to the Potatoes house."
"Are you sure it's alright to let the LGM's wander around Earth like that?"
" Oh yes they're quite harmless. They probably won't cause too much trouble."
For the second time that day they were pulling up to the Potatos storefront. This time as they climbed out of the truck, both Mr and Mrs. Potato were outside setting up the garden tools. The shelfs above the rakes holding medal buckets full of flowers suddenly snapped and the whole thing came crashing down.
"Oh dear!" Cried Mrs. Potato stepping back so nothing would fall on her.
Mr. Potato sighed. "Yeah, I knew that shelf was about to give away soon. I'm going to have to stop by the hardware store and pick us up some more wood."
He turned to leave but then saw Jessie and Buzz standing there. He flashed a quick smile at Jessie before his eyes landed on Buzz. Mr. Potato frowned and looked back at his wife. "On Second thought I might just stay here."
"Don't be silly Francis you need the shelf fixed by tomorrow. Now go pick up the wood that you need and I'll stay here and entertain Jessie and her friend."
Mr. Potato Head sniffed his disapproval but said nothing.
"I'll be right back." He said looking directly at Buzz and started walking across the street to the hardware store.
"Im sorry about my husband, Buzz. He can be a real spud head sometimes."
said sympathetically as she watched her husband walk away.
"Anyway, Jessie come inside, I have something for you!" She sang happily.
Mrs. Potato led them inside and to the back of the store. Going behind the counter she reached down and picked up a big flat white box and placed it in Jessie's outstretched hands.
"What is it?"
"Open and see!"
Jessie obediently opened the package, And pulled back the white Stuffing paper.
Inside was a bright red ruffled tango dress with sequin sparkles.
She took the thin delicate fabric in her hands and held it up to the light. It shimmered with small black and deep purple beads that trailed across the neckline, down the side and across the torso.
Mrs potato clapped her hands together wistfully. "Don't you just love it dear, I ordered it out of a professional catalog when your home made one ripped last year."
Jessie looked at her and smiled weakly. "Thank you so much Mrs. Potato...but I don't think I'll be dancing in the Festival this year."
Mrs. Potato gasped "Why ever not!? You're the best one in town! Everyone always looks forward to seeing you perform."
Jessie couldn't explain it. She just wasn't feeling the drive to dance anymore. In fact this wasn't the first time she had noticed something wrong with her. Ever since her kidnapping and near death experience, the things use to enjoy seemed tedious now. For example she use to love the smell of the flowers out side of the barn, but now she grew irritated whenever the breeze would blow the sent her way. Or when the radio in the living room would start to make white noise, she normally would just listen to it until the music returned. Now she would get super frustrated and shut it off. Getting bouts of fear in small spaces and in the dark was starting to making her worry. She never use to behave that way. Even when she was little, she was never afraid of the dark. Maybe she should contact Dr. Dolly
"Oh dear Jessie, are you feeling alright? You look oddly pale. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to bring up you dancing in the Festival so soon after...your ordeal."
Jessie swallowed. "Yes I'm fine. I just don't think it will happen this year."
Mrs. Potato looked on a bit worried. Jessie had always loved dancing in the Festival. When her last blue tango dress had ripped last year, Jessie had been down for a week.
"Well as you know Jessie, I'm on the Festivals organizational committee... If you change your mind about the dancing just let me know."
Buzz studied Jessie's face, as she studied the fabric in her hands. He suddenly realized how little he knew about this girl. Jessie was a dancer? He thought she was a farmer. Of course dancing could just be a hobby of hers.
He found he wanted to know more about her.
She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and put the dress back in the white box. "Thank you Mrs Potato I'll consider it."
" Well whatever you decide." She said that she led them back to the front of the store.
"Mrs. Potato," Buzz said finally speaking up. "What exactly happens at this festival of yours?"
"Oh lots of things! Theres food and games and movies and Contests! And at the end there is a firework show!"
While Mrs. Potato informed Buzz on what went on during The Andy Day Festival.
Mr. Potato was walking back towards his store, grumbling to himself, wood protruding from underneath his arms.
"Stupid teen at the hardware store didn't even know 4x6, from his left arm. What an idiot!"
Mr. Potato was nearing the store. Speaking of idiots, Mr. potato looked up to see his Wife, Jessie and Buzz standing on the front porch of the store talking. There was something strange about that Buzz Lightyear character. Mr Potato felt in his gut. He didn't want Jessie anywhere near that freak.
Mr. Potato didn't think that he was from Spain. Jesse had to be lying for him, but why?
It was during these thoughts that Mr. Potato noticed three young children standing in the middle of the street.
" Hey you young kids! Get out of the road!"
But they didn't seem to be paying any attention to him.
"I said get out of the road!"
Mr. Potatoes heard the screeching of tires and looked up to see a Pizza Planet truck racing down the street towards them.
Mr. potatos heart leapt into his throat.
The driver was banging on the wheel to the beat of a tune with headphones in his ears and took no notice of the three little children in the middle of the road.
Dropping his wood he dived into the street knocking the three children out of the way of the speeding vehicle.
The driver, seeing Mr. Potato leap in front of his truck, caused him to panic and swerve right into a lamp post.
Mr. Potato sat up on the sidewalk and shook his head. Ooh, he was going to feel the jump tomorrow. Suddenly he heard his wife scream as the destroyed lamp post fell towards the storefront coming right at them.
Lucky Buzz acted fast and shoved Both Jessie and his wife out of the way, before the lamp post landed on himself.
"Buzz!" They both cried as he lay motionless underneath glass.
Mr. Potato was fearful for him, until he heard a slight groan come from Jessie's friends lips.
He sighed with relief and turned to the three bewildered brats he had just saved.
"You three are in serious trouble." He said angrily.
