I'm sorry this fan fic is so long. But I warned you in the beginning, and if you've made it this far there's no turning back. I really wanted to use this fic not only to explore the dynamics of Buzz and Jessie's relationship, but to explore my own writing. Collage Has started but I refuse to put the story on hiatus so I'm going to try and wrap this puppy up in the next few chapters. Hopefully.

So please continue with me on mine and their journey.

Timepond out!

Chapter 35 :

"You guys theres a space craft here!" Rex came bounding into Trixies nest full of excitement his heavy steps shaking the ground.

"Oh goodie." Jessie muttered under her breath, I finally get to see the gorgeous woman whom Buzz has had history with in person. Whoopie.

"Now remember," Buzz said to the room, "No one say anything about our circumstances, this is very important I don't want them knowing anything about this mission. Or exactly who you are. You can give them your name, just don't say your significance."

He looked pointedly at Jessie and she nodded in understanding and turned herself away.

After Buzzs transmission with Princess Quimbbly Jessie had hardly spoken to Buzz. He had tried talking to her but she had ignored him or gave him minimal answers. She knew she was being childish but she couldnt help it. Her emotions were all screwed up. She had wanted to apologize about her earlier behavior, but when she had found out about the Princess...

She tried to convince herself that maybe the Princess wouldn't be that bad, and maybe she just openly flirted with every one, and maybe she wasn't such a bad person...

Well she was about to find out.

Trixie once again, with the assistance of Jessie, helped Buzz out of her nest with the ropes tied to her horns and placed him in the clearing where the space craft looked like it be landing.

Jessie was untying the ropes from Trixies horns when Buzz placed a hand on her arm. "Please be nice to her, she is risking a lot in helping us."

Jessie's jaw dropped. Of course she would be nice.

Shes only helping you. Jessie wanted to snap back, but instead closed her mouth and said nothing. She shook Buzz off and walked to Rex's side. Buzz looked like he wanted to say more, but instead closed his mouth.

"Oh look! Here they come!" Rex said to her.

Jessie looked up to see a medium sized space craft lined with blue and purple hover down gracefully into the clearing.

After a few seconds a door lowered from the bottom like a moat bridge.
A small number of troops in the same colors as the ship came out in uniformed lines, holding their guns aloft and checking out the new environment for any signs of a threat.

After they deemed it clear the head troop made a signal and a flurry of pink and purple skirts shot from the craft.

"Oh Buzzy!" The Princess shrieked as she ran to Buzz's side.

Both Rex and Jessie jumped, as her cry of exuberance sent a flock of birds flying from the near by canopy.

Buzz also seemed shocked to see her.
"Princess Quimbbly what are you doing here?"

"To come get you silly." She said in a bubbly tone.

Buzz frowned. "You could have just sent your troops, its very dangerous in the Gutter." He said in a strict no nonsense tone.

"But i wanted to see you." She said happily. "Oh Buzz you look horrible! Just absolutely horrid. Dont worry i have emergency medical staff here and I have my own personal physicians waiting for you at my home. Every one is sworn to secrecy under penalty of death, that your rescue is to be kept quiet."

Buzz nodded. "That is most appreciated your highness."

Princess Quimbbly tillted her head and smiled seductivly.
"You know the primitive survival look, looks good on you." She said dragging a single finger down Buzz's bare chest to his abs.

Jessie was just about to clear her throat when Trixie intrrupted.

"I dont know, he kind of smells to me."

Princess Quimbbly nor her troops must have noticed Trixie standing there for she let out a screech that made Jessie wince.

Immediately her troops where on the move, encircling her in a protective cocoon.

Rex backed up confused at all the commotion and nervously looked to Jessie for answers. "Why is she screaming?"

It was then that the troops spoted Rex and raised there guns.

Jessie lept in front of Rex holding her hands out franticly "STOP! They're friends! They're friends!"

After a tense moment and Buzz to back her up the Troops relaxed a fraction."Oh," the Princess said tring to compose herself. "You're friends with these creatures?" She asked shakely. "Well I'm afraid I don't have room for them on my transport."

"Thats fine your majesty!" Rex said enutheasicly, misreading the situation entirely. He leaned closer to the ground to speak to her.

Princess Quimbbly wimpered a little, but said nothing.

"We are planning on staying here." Trixie stated flatty, unammused by their reception. Coming up from behind princess Quimbbly's troops she went to to stand by Jessie.
The troops stood their ground but raised there wepons in warning as Trixie moved, much to the triceratops's annoyance.

"Relax! Im walking away arent I?"

Trixie frowned angrily at the guns and snorted. She turned to Jessie. "Well we best say our good byes, before one of us gets shot."

Trixie and Rex both came close and nuzzled Jessie good bye, while princess Quimbbly took that opportuinly to sneak back over to Buzz.

"Thats your companion? She very strange looking isn't she? Does my medical staff have to look at those things on her face?" She whistpered.

Jessie peeked over her shoulder under the premise of still saying good by to her friends.

If it where even possible Buzzs frown deeped as if he was some how offended.

"Those are her freckles. They're a part of her body."

"I see."

Jessie could feel everyones eyes on her back as she turned and walked forward, pretending she hadn't heard anything and intoduced her self as she got closer.

"Name's Jessie. Jeasie Pride." Jessie said politely giving a little bow.

The princess turned and smiled at Jessie and although it was a beautiful smile, it didn't feel real. That smile was faker than a Halloween mask. Her big violet eyes framed with lashes seemed to stare right through her. "I'm Princess Quimbbly. Heir to the Azltecs from planet Vein. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Thank ya for comin for us. It means alot." She gave a small smile hoping she sounded sincere, but it quickly disappeared when she heard a quiet comment come from behind her from one of the troops.

"She talks kind of funny."

Buzz must have heard it too, for he quickly turned in that direction and glared. "Princess I believe its time to leave. We risk to much if we stay."

"Quite right! You need medical attention, and cleaning up. You and your companion both." She quick clapped her hands and Buzz was suddenly surrounded by men carrying a stretcher.

Buzz's face contorted with pain but he made no sound as they moved him to the stretcher then to the space ship.

Jessie too, got surrounded by troops asking her questions about her health and how she was feeling, and if she needed any immediate medical attention.

With all the bustle, Jessie only had time to give Rex and Trixie a quick wave good bye, before she was herded onto the craft.

Buzz was taken to one side closely followed by the princess and Jessie was taken to the other. She watched in silence as they scrambled around to help Buzz. He would be fine. After all he was Buzz Lightyear.

Jessie looked out the window to see black emptiness rush by, leaving the prehistoric planet behind. She once again began to feel the claustrophobia sneak in as the lights of the crafts lights dimmed with a flicker when they seemed to hit a bumpy patch of turbulence.

You're fine. She told her self as sweat begin to conjugate on her forehead. Your fine. Don't make a scene, they need to focus on healing Buzz.

She gripped the seat she was in with white knuckles.

Thankfully, by Buzz's suggestion or one of the troops keen observance someone had noticed her distress and gave her a shot that seemed to relax her and she quickly drifted off to sleep.

Buzz woke up I a large silk bed, peacefully adrift on some pain meds.

With his mouth feeling like it was full of cotten Buzz turned his head to see if he could find something to drink but instead he found Jessie asleep in a chair next to him.

Her skin glowed clean from the incoming light of his large open windows. She had been scrubbed down and given new clothes. Slumped over on her arms, her thin legs peeked out from a green silken jumper that many of the women preferred to wear on this planet.

She was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen.

After his much needed medical attention Buzz had been put to sleep so that the physicians could reset his bones. He noticed a glass of water on the table to the other side of him. He reached out and groaned as he felt his muscles stretch uncomfortably.

Jessie freckled hand was there in an instant. "Here" was all she said handing him the glass water. His groan must have woken her.

"Thank you." He rasped as he greatfully took a gulp from the glass of water.

"How are you feeling?" She asked scratching her arm awkwardly.

How was he feeling? He did a quick survey of his body and realized he wasn't in to much pain due to the medication.

"I feel fine." he told her.

"Oh." She was now rubbing her arm where she had scratched previously. "Good."

She stood there in silence not looking him in the eye.

"It looks like the Princess is taking good care of you."

Jessie's head snapped up. " Um, about that-"

"How long have I been asleep?"

"A few days."

Buzz now noticed the dark circles under her eyes and how tired she looked.

He glanced at her chair, which he now saw had a small blanket on it, then back to her.

"Have you been sleeping here?"

Before Jessie could answer the doors to Buzzs room swung open.

Princess Quimbbly, and her entourage, flooded the room. " Oh Buzzy! You're awake!"

Buzz cleared his throat. "Yes and I'm feeling fine thanks to your doctors."

"Oh how absolutely perfect! Does that mean you'll be feeling up to attending a dinner party tonight?" She grabbed Buzzs hands and gently squeezed.

Buzz looked around at the expecting eyes of her entourage. No one ever refused this princess.

"If I'm feeling well I will be there." He said looking back to the princess.

"Oh how marvelous! I will go check on the preparations then."

Just as quickly has she had arrived, she was gone. Along with her entourage.

Buzz looked around at his empty room and realized Jesse had gone too.
