*I'm sorry I've been keeping you all in suspense. Short and quick chapter today. I'll have maybe two more to add to this story and then I'll be done. Enjoy!*

Woody watched them all rush out of the room and out the cat flap on the door, beginning their search. He felt proud of what Callie had said in his defense, but was even more proud that despite the way he had treated them, all of them were outside looking for him.

"They love you, Woody. All of them. Wheezy told him. You may have your flights or arguments, but they will always love you." Woody smiled. "You really do have a wonderful life, partner. And it's only going to get better from here."

"Can I ask one thing, before I go?" Woody asked. Wheezy nodded. "Are you just a figment of my imagination or..." Wheezy chuckled.

"Well in a way yes. I left this world two years ago. A dog got a hold of me and popped me with it's teeth." Woody gasped and his face fell. "Oh no, it's okay. I lived a good life in a children's hospital. I was played with everyday and loved by kids who got treated for conditions big and small. So I wouldn't say I'm a figment, but more like a guardian angel."

"Thank you, Wheezy." They hugged and then Wheezy looked at him.

"Are you ready to go back?" Woody nodded. "Alright then. I'm sorry about this though." He slapped him on the back of the head and the sheriff fell back into his body in the snow. Meanwhile, the toys got into the backyard and spread out, looking everywhere they could think of.

"We're never going to find him, there is too much snow!" Buttercup shouted.

"He has to be here somewhere." Buzz called out.

"What if we don't find him?" Callie said, worried.

"We will, Callie. We'll spend all night looking if we have to." Jessie said. They continued looking for another hour. Potato Head trudged through the snow over to a tree to lean against for a few seconds when he tripped over something. After spitting out a mouthful of snow, he went to see what had tripped him and to his surprise saw the buckle of Woody's belt. The spud began digging and after a few minutes, he pulled the sheriff out of the deep snow.

"Son of a building block. Hey! I found him. He's over here!" Potato Head yelled.

"Over there! Go to the Potato!" Pricklepants said.

"You found him?" Slinky asked.

"Way to go, spud head!" Hamm cried. Callie, Buzz and Jessie ran ahead, but Callie got there first and kneel beside Potato Head. The spud placed Woody in her arms. Callie cradled his head, letting it hit softly against her arm.

"He's so cold." Callie said softly.

"Look at his legs. Jessie said. He's been out here so long that the wetness of the snow and the freezing temperature froze them together."

"So are his hands. Dolly said. Completely frozen."

"Someone's got to run back to the room and get the bed ready. Buzz said. Find any blanket you can find, and a few small towels. Anything to thaw him out."

"I'll go back on Bullseye." Jessie said.

"Dolly and I will come with you." Buttercup said.

"I'll come too." Potato Head said.

"Go and hurry." Callie said, holding him tight. They all trudged back through the snow back into Bonnie's room. Buzz got down beside Callie.

"Cal, let me carry him back." Callie hesitated, grief-stricken. "It's okay, Callie. I have him." Callie sighed deeply and then slowly placed her boyfriend into Buzz's arms. Buzz looked at his best friend and looked back at Callie before turning back and going back to the window. Callie didn't want to move. Slinky nudged her and helped her back up, and the two walked slowly through the snow and into the Bonnie's window.

*Aw, Wheezy was his guardian angel all along! Now it's time for the waiting game. I have three other stories I've working on, including a reboot story, so I am sorry if I don't post for a while.*
