Andy ran upstairs holding the box he had found Woody, Buzz and Jessie in.

"Andy! Just put that box in your new room, out of the mover's way and then come back down here to watch Molly for me!"

"Okay mom!"

Once Andy had left his new room, the trio stood up in the box and looked around.

"I'm going to miss the cloud wallpaper," Woody commented.

"I am too," Jessie agreed. "But once the furniture is moved in, it'll feel more like home."

"Woody, Jessie," Buzz began briefly. "I'd like to apologize for my behavior when we first met. I must have come off as a real jerk."

"I wouldn't say that," Jessie murmured.

"I would," Woody told them.

"Woody!"

"What?"

Jessie rolled her eye before saying: "You both kind of acted like jerks."

"I did not!" Woody shot.

"Yes you did!" Buzz told him. "You pushed me out of the window!"

"It was an accident!"

"Yeah right!" Buzz muttered.

"Hey!" Jessie yelled. "Come on, I thought you guys were friends now. Why don't you both let bygones be bygones?"

"Well, I will if he will," Woody and Buzz both answered.

"Good," Jessie muttered. "Now, let's start over. Howdy, I'm Jessie. Welcome to Andy's new room," She greeted, holding out her hand to Buzz for him to shake.

Buzz looked down at her hand as though he had been afraid to shake it.

"Go ahead," Woody told him. "I'm not going to bite your head off."

"I'm Buzz," He said, shaking Jessie's hand.

"You're turn now," Jessie told Woody.

"Howdy, I'm Woody," He said, shaking Buzz's hand.

"Buzz."

Andy's and Molly's other toys, as well as Bo Peep, were almost sick with worry over Woody, Buzz and Jessie. They didn't know what had happened to them. They all (but Bo) felt tremendously guilty about thinking the worst of Woody.

Slinky was taking it the worst out of them all; he felt as though he had let them down.

"If only…if only," He kept on murmuring over and over again. It was getting on Mr. Potato Head's nerves, but he said nothing as he dealt with his own guilt. Bo sat quietly, hugging her sheep. She was worried about all three of them; but she was worried about Woody the most. She was still in love with him, even though she knew he loved Jessie.

'Oh Woody. Wherever you are, I hope you and Jessie are together and aren't going through what I am,' she mentally wished, hugging her sheep tighter.

Rocky kept on slamming his fist against the palm of his other hand; hating himself. Woody's cries echoed in his head as he remembered picking him up and throwing him out of the van.

Andy's room was all set up. All that was now missing was his other toys. They all nearly broke character when they saw Woody, Jessie and Buzz sitting on Andy's pillow.

Andy spent the rest of the day setting his toys up.

"Aw man!" He droned, holding Slinky. "He's busted! I hope mom can fix him."

When Andy had finished with setting up all his toys, his mother told him they were going out to dinner. Andy decided that it would be best if he left his toys home this time. Once he and his family had left the new house, Andy's toys cried the names of the apparent survivors in joy. When Bo and Molly's toys heard that they were back, they raced to Andy's new room.

Bo had never felt so relieved as she saw that Woody was back and all right. Nevertheless, it was bitter-sweet for her when she saw that he had his arm around Jessie. 'I've got to get over him!' She told herself.

"Slinky, are you all right?" Jessie asked him, kneeling down next to the Slinky Dog and giving him a hug.

"Yeah, I'm fine," He murmured, scratching the floor with his paw.

"Does it hurt?" Woody asked.

"Not really. Look; I'm sorry," He told them.

"About what?" Asked Buzz.

"About letting you all down!"

"Letting us down? What are you talking about Slink?" Woody asked.

"You know what I'm talking about! Because of me, you three almost didn't make it back to Andy!"

"Oh no, Slink, that's not true!" Woody quickly told his friend.

"You did the best you could do Slinky Dog," Buzz told him. "And that's all anyone can ask of you."

"Buzz is right Slink," Woody began. "You did your best. I'm just sorry you're broken."

"Besides," Jessie added. "All that matters is that we're all back together again."

"I guess you're right," Slinky began to murmur. "Do you think Andy's mom will be able to fix me?"

"I know she can," Jessie told him.

"So how did you guys get back to Andy anyway?" Rex asked.

"You're never going to believe what happened!" Woody told them.

So they told them about what happened, leaving out a few details. Whilst Buzz was becoming reacquainted with the other toys, Jessie took Woody aside.

"Now. About that apology you were giving me before we were interrupted."

"I still have to apologize?" Woody asked in a whining voice. "Wasn't saying 'sorry' earlier enough?"

"Yes, you still do," Jessie told him, poking him in the chest. "Make me forgive you."

Woody sighed inwardly. 'Anything to make her happy,' he thought.

"Jessie, I'm sorry. I know you don't like small, dark spaces and I should have thought about that before we went into the crane game. And, when you were having trouble, I should've asked you if you wanted to climb out and hide in Molly's baby bag; and it was wrong to push you, especially in that area of your anatomy. And I will never, ever, under any circumstances, ever, ever do that again because I both love and respect you very, very much. So please, please forgive me," Woody told her sincerely.

"Of course I do," Jessie answered, hugging him.

"Hey Woody! Jessie! Can you two come here for a minute?" Rex called.

"Come on, let's see what Rex wants," Jessie told the Sheriff.

"Right," Said Woody as they were walking towards Rex. Woody had been left partially shocked when Jessie decided to sprint on up ahead after giving Woody a smack on his backside.

"Now we're even!" She called over her shoulder to a stunned Woody as she raced on ahead.

'I guess I deserved that,' he thought to himself, shaking his head.

"Okay Rex. What'd you want to see us about?" Jessie asked him.

"What was it like to fly?"

Woody and Jessie looked at one another, both silently scanning through the others features in order to find the words to say next.

"Words can't describe it," Woody told him.

"Woody's right. It was just so…so…"

"Cool? Amazing?" Suggested Rex.

"Yeah, something like that. Right Jess?"

"Yeah, something like that…"

A little while later, Woody went to check on Molly's toys to see how they were doing in Molly's new room so far.

"I'm really glad you were able to make it back to Andy," Bo told him.

"I'm glad too," Woody told her honestly. He couldn't help but notice the sad look within her eyes. He had a feeling that it was due to the fact that he was with Jessie and not her. He felt bad that he been causing her pain, but he couldn't help loving Jessie. "Thanks for being a good friend and for believing in me," He murmured meaningfully.

"Well, I know you'd never do anything like that," Bo told him. All she wanted to do was throw her arms around his body and kiss him; but she didn't. She knew she'd only be making a fool of herself as well as hurting Jessie. Why did unrequited love have to be so hard?

"You know," Woody began thoughtfully. "Now that Molly has her own room, her toys are going to need a leader."

"What?" Bo asked, clearly surprised. "But Woody. You and Jessie are the leaders!"

"In Andy's room. Bo. Molly's toys are going to need a leader and I think you can do it."

"Me?"

"You've got a good head on your shoulders. Think about it and talk to Molly's other toys to see how they feel about it."

"All-all right," Bo stammered, a little stunned. Her? The leader of Molly's toys?

"I'm going to head back to Andy's room now. Remember Bo: think about it."

"I will."

Buzz had been trying to build up enough courage to talk to Jessie. He had been watching her fussing over Slinky, making sure that he really was okay, and trying to make him comfy. Once Slinky had assured her that everything was fine, Jessie went on her way, knowing that the Slinky Dog needed some rest. So, Buzz decided that this was his chance to talk to her alone. He ran over to her.

"Um," He began to murmur, not quite being able to find the appropriate words to form a reasonable sentence.

"Hey howdy hey Buzz," She greeted cheerfully.

"I just wanted to say that I think you're a courageous young woman with a pretty yarn full of hair…er…I mean hair full of yarn!" He quickly corrected, feeling flabbergasted.

"Well, aren't you just the sweetest space toy I've ever met!" Jessie cooed, giving him a quick hug before going over to the hot wheels play set and doing a loop de-loop.

'Wow!' Buzz thought, watching her as his wings popped out.

Woody had seen the exchange between Jessie and Buzz and he had forced himself to not lose his cool. He caught Jessie in his arms and spun her around. She wrapped her arms around his neck and laughed happily.

"Care to go on a little walk with me?" He asked her.

"Love to," She replied lovingly, taking his hand in her own.

"So," Woody began to murmur. "I couldn't help but notice you were hugging Buzz."

"Oh Woody. Don't tell me you're getting jealous again?"

"I just wanted to know why you were hugging him," Woody said, pouting.

"I just can't resist that pout of yours," Jessie told him.

"Really?" Woody asked happily, liking the fact the Jessie found something about him she couldn't resist. "I mean 'really'…?" He questioned, trying to pout again.

"Okay my pouting boyfriend," Jessie began with a giggle. "I gave him a hug because he gave me two compliments," She stated, holding up two fingers.

"And just what did he compliment you on?"

"He said that I was a courageous woman with pretty hair," Jessie told him, fluffing her hair.

"Well, I could have told you that."

"But you didn't," Jessie said, about to poke him in the chest when Woody gently grabbed her hand and brought her index finger to his lips, kissing it gently

"So I said he was sweetest space toy I've ever met and hugged him."

"And what do I get if I give you two compliments?" Woody asked.

"Oh, I'd say a hug and a kiss," Jessie began, mocking thoughtfully.

"On the lips?" Woody asked brightly.

"If you want."

"I want," He told her, leaning in for a kiss.

"I want my two compliments," Jessie stated, putting her finger to Woody's lips, which he promptly kissed again.

"Let's see compliments, compliments?" Woody began to murmur, as though it was hard to even think of some. Jessie shot him a love filled glare. "You have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. I could spend all day just getting lost in your eyes."

"Really?" Jessie asked, gushing a little.

Woody nodded. "And you're more than just a courageous woman; you're an incredible person and I am so lucky to have you in my life."

"Come on. Let's go behind Andy's desk and I'll give you that hug and those kisses I promised you."

"Kisses?"

"Kisses. Oh, and just so you know, you are the sweetest toy I ever did meet," Jessie said, leading him to Andy's desk.

Woody smiled as Jessie went behind the desk. So she gave Buzz a hug and said he was the sweetest space toy she'd ever met; but in the end it was him not Buzz who she was with. Life was good: they were back with Andy; they weren't in danger of being destroyed and the other toys didn't hate him anymore. Jessie, not knowing of Woody's inner musing growth, was annoyed that he didn't follow her, so she grabbed his bandana and yanked him to her before fiercely kissing him on the lips.

'Oh yes,' Woody thought, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her back. 'Life is good.'

A/N And another chapter done! I really think it is with in Jessie's character to give Woody a little smack on the butt. I hope I got Buzz's line about Jessie's hair right. I know that exchange was supposed to happen in Toy Story 2, but I moved it up don't kill me. So Buzz doesn't know that Woody and Jessie are together yet and he's not going to find out for a while. I kind think Buzz is a little naive to the toy facts of life and I'm not bashing him I just plan on having him inadvertently interrupting their alone time not realizing what their doing. Hopefully when I write it you'll all think it's funny. A/N
