Fluff warning ahead! ^_^

June 11th, 2010

"Alright, everyone! Please gather around!"

Jessie opened one eye as she heard the voice of Dolly call out to the other toys.

"Andy's toys! You guys too! This is a staff meeting!" yelled Woody.

Groaning a bit, the cowgirl sat up and adjusted her hat. Bullseye was snuggled up next to her and she nudged the tired horse with her boot.

"C'mon, Bullseye. Up and at 'em!" Jessie softly patted the horse on the nose as he woke up and licked her cheek. The two stood up and hopped off the bed and walked over to the assembling toys. Dolly and Woody stood at the front with Buzz standing behind Woody as usual.

Dolly took a few steps forward and started to address the crowd. "Alright you guys, first off, I just wanted to officially welcome all the new toys to Bonnie's room. We sincerely hope you guys like it here-"

As the doll was giving her welcome speech, Jessie zoned out. Her brain was still in a fog from the day before and all she wanted to do was ride Bullseye around the house to let off some stress. Her eyes wandered around Bonnie's brightly covered room and then they landed on a pair of cerulean eyes staring at her.

She smiled at the space ranger and everything else seemed to fade as they simply gazed at each other like they usually did during Woody's staff meetings. Never had she felt the way she did when Buzz looked at her, or felt as safe as when he held her in his strong arms like he did last night. After almost facing death in the incinerator, she now knew she wanted nothing more than to move ahead in her relationship with Buzz.

"Now Buzz, do you have anything to add? Buzz! Earth to Buzz!"

Woody was waving his hand in Buzz's face and the space ranger stuttered an apology as the rest of Andy's toys smirked and knew what Buzz's distraction was. Jessie merely giggled and shook her head amusingly.

"Okay, meeting adjourned!" Woody clapped his hands together and everyone dispersed into their own groups.

"Come on Bullseye, let's get outta here for a while," whispered Jessie to the horse. She jumped up onto his saddle and he galloped out of the room at full speed. They explored each room around the house and after a few hours (and knocking over a few picture frames), Jessie had Bullseye stop over by the area Rex and Trixie were playing a video game.

"Howdy, guys! What'cha doin'?"

"Jessie! You gotta see this!" Rex motioned for his cowgirl friend to come over. "Trixie can make my arms look bigger!"

The blue triceratops pushed a button on the keyboard and the arms on the picture of Rex on the game grew twice as big as normal.

"Well lookit' that, Rexy! Ya got some muscle on ya!" Jessie patted the dinosaur on the back.

For the rest of the morning, the toys relaxed amongst themselves while getting acquainted with the house and enjoyed an afternoon playtime when Bonnie came home from Sunnyside. The girl had almost the same imagination as Andy and promised a good home for her new toys. Andy's old toys were overjoyed at being played with and loved after a long time.

It was at night once again; Jessie was very restless. She scaled down the bed and headed out to the living room. She climbed up the couch and was surprised when she saw a green glow near the middle.

"Buzz! What are you doing here?"

"I can ask the same for you, cowgirl," smirked the space ranger and he motioned for her to sit by him. He put his arm around her shoulders as she plopped down next to him and they sat for a few minutes in a comfortable silence.

It was Jessie who curiously broke the quietness. "What's on your mind, space ranger?"

Buzz's eyes darted around the room and hesitated to respond. "Um, I-uh, I ju-nevermind…"

"Come on, Buzz. You can talk to me." Gently, Jessie took the space ranger's face in her hands and caressed his cheek. She looked him in the eye to let him know that she wanted him to talk to her; that she was there for him.

Slowly, the space ranger exhaled and took both of her hands in his. "Jessie, I want you to tell me what exactly happened after I left you guys to find Lotso. I need to know."

Inhaling sharply, Jessie's eyes grew wide and she slowly looked down at their hands; their fingers intertwined. She was trying to avoid the subject of Buzz's alter egos, yet she understood that he had a right to know.

Never letting go of his hands, she relayed the story of his demo mode; imprisoning everyone as Lotso ordered him around. The way he acted with them, with her; treating them as prisoners. She talked about their escape plan when Woody came back to them. Then she told him about his Spanish mode. How forward he was with her and how much he protected her; the way he danced around to woo her. When she thought she lost him when that TV fell on him…

Choking back a sob, Jessie stopped talking and looked away.

"Jessie…"

The cowgirl turned back to the space ranger as he lifted one of her hands up and kissed the back of it tenderly.

"I thought I lost ya, Buzz. So many times-" Jessie was cut off as Buzz drew her into a big hug and dug his face into the crook of her neck. Slightly surprised, she slipped her arms around him and laid her head on his shoulder. The two of them stayed in each other's embrace; Buzz soaking in what Jessie just told him.

"Jessie…I'm so sorry," breathed Buzz and lifted his face back up at her, looking at her tenderly.

"I never gave up on ya, Buzz. I never will," responded Jessie and slipped her arms around his neck.

Once again, the two toys felt that familiar pull as their faces came close to one another's, but this time, they wouldn't let anything interrupt them. Jessie felt Buzz's soft lips touch her own and she felt a surge of electricity run through her stuffing.

Her first kiss. Their first kiss.

As she felt Buzz start to pull away, she let out a soft moan of protest and captured his lips with her own; desire and need for the space ranger fired up within her heart.

Inexperienced they both were at this sort of thing; the two of them slowly let their small kisses turn into something more passionate. Jessie couldn't focus on anything but wanting to get as close to Buzz as she could. She felt his tongue trace her bottom lip and she slightly parted her mouth and accepted his invitation.

They kissed each other deeply as an overwhelming amount of passion, lust, and love for each other started to overtake the two as Jessie tightened her arms around his neck and guided him forward until her back was pressed against the cushion. As they parted to catch their breath, Buzz's lips started to trail small kisses down her neck and Jessie stared half-lidded up at the ceiling.

Trailing her hands up and down the back of the space ranger's head as he kissed her, she reminisced how she got to this point in her life and her mind trailed back to Emily, to Mama Bear, to Tammy and Ken, to GI Joe…

Remembering that time on the bed with Joe, her eyes widened and she shot up; knocking Buzz off kilter for a second.

"Jessie! Jess, what's wrong?" Buzz caught her face in his hands and she turned towards him. The worry and admiration in his eyes made her troubles go away. This wasn't Joe. This was Buzz, her Buzz.

And she loved him.

Slowly she reached forward and pulled Buzz back on top of her. "Nothing. I got a little overwhelmed is all." She locked her arms back around his neck and rested her forehead against his.

Lightly kissing her lips he whispered, "We don't have to do this if you're not ready."

"No. I want this, I'll always want you, Buzz," Jessie responded. She leaned her head up, kissing him deeply. They parted and Buzz continued to trail kisses down her neck as she leaned her head back and tugged her collar out of the way.

Jessie caressed the buttons on his chest as she felt him travel south. Everywhere he touched her tingled with pleasure and want for the space ranger. She felt him run his hands up and down her thighs underneath her chaps and she wrapped her legs around his.

Leaning down, Buzz kissed her and he gazed down lovingly at her. "I love you, Jessie."

Finally hearing those words from her sweet space toy, Jessie smiled brightly up at him.

"I love you too, Buzz," she responded, meaning every single word. Tears of joy pricked at the corners of her eyes as their bodies moved together throughout the night; ten years of wanting the other coming to light as the new couple savored the moment of finally being together.
