Hey hey! New story coming at ya! This is post TS4, one year later. Enjoy and review please!

Jessie stared at the badge on her chest. Exactly one year ago, Woody had passed it down to her and then left to go with Bo. Since then, she has taken over as the leader of Bonnie's room, following in her brother's footsteps. Now Bonnie was about to start first grade at the end of the month, which meant new friends, a new teacher, and quite possibly new toys. They got through kindergarten fine, but first grade was different. Bonnie would be gone all day. Would she be able to handle that and deal with the others, including new toys? She got up from the bed and moved over to the window. Buzz saw her from the bookshelf and went to join her.

"Hey sheriff, are you alright?" He asked, sitting beside her. Jessie laughed a little.

"It's so weird hearing you call me that. She said. I'm not quite used to it yet."

"You'll get there. What's on your mind, Jess?"

"I was just thinking how Bonnie is starting school soon. First grade, can you believe it?"

"I know, she's growing up fast."

"Yeah, and that means changes are coming. Big changes! I mean Bonnie's going to meet new friends, get into some shiny new toys, and possibly grow out of her old ones. How am I supposed to help our friends if that happens, Buzz?"

"You'll find a way, Jess, you always do. Woody wouldn't have given you his badge if he didn't believe that you were just as good of a leader as he was."

"But Woody always knew what to do, and what to say! I really miss him sometimes." Buzz smiled and wrapped an arm around her. "Do you think he's okay, Buzz?"

"Oh he's fine, Bo's with him."

"Do you think he misses us?" Buzz looked up at the night sky.

"Yes,Yes I do."

Woody lay in the grass with his arms crossed behind his head. Him and the lost toy crew had just arrived in the town of Sandusky a few days ago and took refuge at Ceder Point Amusement park. They had helped a few lost toys find their owners again, and helped a few find new owners and soon they would be heading back out to another town. In the last year, they have been to so many different towns and Woody loved all of it. He knew how big the world was, but to be able to go out and see the different areas was truly a wonderful experience. What was even better was that he got to share it with his new friends Ducky, Bunny, Giggle McDimples, and Duke Caboom. And then there was Bo. He was so happy to be with her again, working together to find other lost toys good he was happy with his new purpose, he often thought of his friends back at Bonnie's. He hoped all of them were being played with and being taken care of, and he hoped they were listening to Jessie. He missed them all terribly.

"Penny for your thoughts, cowboy?" Looking up, he saw the beautiful face of his girlfriend looking down at him.

"Good evening, little lady." Woody said. He sat up and allowed her to sit beside him.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm okay. Just thinking." She nudged him to continue. "I was thinking about the others. Buzz and Jess and everyone."

"You miss them, don't you?" He nodded. "Yeah, it took me awhile too. It gets easier with time, though those who really matter never seem to leave you." He took her hand.

"You were always with me, even when you weren't."

"As were you with me. Jessie, Buzz and all our friends will be with you too, sweetie. I'm actually glad you brought them up. The carnival is moving to the Tri-county area on it's next stop. We can go to Bonnie's and see them." Woody sat up.

"Really? You mean it?'

"Well why not? I haven't seen the area in years, and you can finally introduce me to Bonnie's toys. I didn't really get to meet them last year. So what do you say, cowboy?"

"Yes, I would love that! Thank you, Bo!"

"Anything to see you smile, cowboy."

"Wait a minute, we're going to meet more of your friends, cowboy? Hot dog! I'm in!" Giggle said, laughing,

"Yeah, let's go!" Bunny shouted.

"To Bonnie's house...and beyond!" Bo said, laughing.
