Author's Note: I know that none of you said it, but since I had a feeling that you were a little bit disappointed in me not adding Toy Story in any of my stories, I've admitted defeat and decided to add that world into this Kingdom Hearts story, but only this once. Also, unlike most KH3 fanfics, this one is not set within the first film.
Bit of spoiler; this one is set in the second film.
I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy.
CH13: Toy-Napped!?
{Toy Mania}
Flash-Back: A few hours before...
"There's a Snake in my boot!"
This came from a voice recorder of a string-voice Cowboy Doll that was tossed onto one of the tables in a yard sale of a quiet neighborhood. The doll himself was plastic on head and hands, and his brown boots, while everything else was cotton inside and material. He was a traditional cowboy doll. How he got here...something that no one in this world knew.
The voice recorder within the toy was heard from behind a man in his early thirties, cubby and wearing a green shirt and black pants and shoes, having black hair and beard and wearing glasses, gazing around for something just to buy, and when he heard this voice, his eyes widened. Could he dare to hope?
He turned around and if his eyes had widened any higher, it'd be a world record. The man approached the doll and gasped in sheer disbelief and...greedy hope. Picking up the doll, the man examined it.
"Original hand-painted face. Natural-dyed, blanket-stitched vest!" The man caressed the doll, before noticing a small rip on the doll's right arm, but shrugged it off as something he can fix. "Oh, if only you had your hand-stitched..."
When he looked at the table again, he gasped in glee at the sight of the doll's brown cowboy hat, and immediately put it's back onto the toy, happily saying as though he found a treasure chest, "Polyvinyl hat! I found him! I found him, I found him!"
"Buster! Quiet down!" A woman's voice called out.
Uh oh. The owner of the house was here. The man, not wanting to look like a complete idiot and believing that the child owner of this toy no longer wanted the Cowboy doll, but not taking any chances, immediately covered the boy with an old shoe and a couple of other things that were being sold as the woman approached him, being a young mother of two.
This was being witnessed by the world's very unusual inhabits; Living and breathing Toys from their child owner's bedroom; A SpaceRanger Toy who was tolding a toy Binoculars that had eyes and legs, and with them was a female plastic toy that was based on Bo Peep, a slinky Dog toy, a Piggybank, a Potato Head Man toy, and a green T-Rex Toy.
And they were witnessing their Cowboy toy friend in dire trouble, and now their only hope was their owner's mother.
"Yeah, you can help take his paws off my pal." The Slinky Toy Dog grunted softly, cheering on the mother and praised her to save the Cowboy doll.
As the two couple in the yard talked, the mother finally noticed her child's toy and asked in surprise to the man, "Oh, now, h-how did this get down here?"
"Oh...a pro." The man chuckled. "I could eh, give you five dollars for it."
Too bad his hopes were dashed.
"I'm sorry. It's an old family toy." The mother apologized while taking the toy back and began to walk away, much the the man's sheer annoyance.
The Toys from the window then saw that the man wasn't backing off, but then again, the mother wasn't surrendering either.
"Wait! Uh, I'll give you 50 bucks for him." The man tried to bargain.
"Fifty bucks ain't bad." Mr. Potato Head admitted to the Piggybank who nodded in agreement. Fifty bucks for an old Cowboy doll is surprisingly a good price...not that they wanted their friend to be sold by this slimeball.
Fortunately for the toys, the mother placed the Cowboy doll into a metal small case and locked it up, and still refused the man's request to either sell the toy or even trade it for the man's watch.
"He's safe." The SpaceRanger Toy announced, and soon his friends around him either sighed in relief or cheered.
"Way to go, Andy's Mom!" The Piggybank cheered.
"Phew, that was close!" The T-Rex Toy sighed in relief.
"All right! She showed him!" The Slinky Dog cheered.
It seemed that the man, in irritation, finally gave up and began to walk away. However, much to the Toy's confusion and concern, the man suddenly bumped into a skateboard, and when he gazed down at it, a greedy sneering smile dawned on his face as an cruel idea came into mind. So, while the mother was busy going over to her young daughter who was no more than two years old, the man kicked the skateboard backwards where it rolled right behind the mother and then crashed into things, causing her to turn away and went off to see what was going on now.
This was the distraction the man needed, because he did not care if the boy would be missing his beloved cowboy doll, because he was a man to collect, and this doll was extremely vaulable. So as quickly as he did, he snuck back to the case and with a screw driver, broke into the case.
"Oh no." The SpaceRanger cried out, shocked as he saw what was happening. "He's stealing Woody!"
True to his horrified words, the man snatched the Cowboy doll named Woody and stuffed it in a carrybag before casually walking off as though nothing happened. But the living Toys knew better and they were horrified; A man was stealing a toy that was illegal.
The SpaceRanger Toy, unable to let this happen, quickly put down the Binoculars and immediately slid down the drain pipe and onto the grass outside, sneaking his way through, being athletic for a toy, making sure that he wasn't seen, while his other friends watched on and hoped for the best.
The SpaceRanger Toy then hurried over to the Car as the man had stuffed Woody in the bag into the Boot before driving off. The SpaceRanger Toy successfully jumped onto the back and tried to open it. He managed to unlock it, but unfortunately, the force of the bump of the car caused him to be flown back and land onto the road. All he could do was stare in horror as the boot of the car reclosed itself...but not before multiple feathers flew out and one floated in front of the SpaceRanger toy who stared at it, confusion and shock filling his expression even further.
There was...something strikingly familiar about these feathers...and he also caught a glimpse of the Numberplate of the car as well...he immediately knew, that both were connected...and it might be the key to the answer of why the greedy man had stolen Woody.
The other toys at the window were horrified that their friend, Woody...was stolen.
"Why would someone steal Woody?" Bo Beep asked, horrified.
Now...
Despite having sworn that they heard Myde sneeze while they were teleported down to the new world they discovered, and seemed to be quite normal, given circumstances, Sora and his friends, sensing dark and greedy activity, not to mention something else...very unsual, teleported in while using magic to blend into this world.
When they appeared through a portal, one by one, the group walked out, and were...quite shocked at what they were seeing. They were in what appeared to be a child's bed room, the owner close to be maybe six years of age which, thankfully wasn't here. The room was empty.
"Why is everything...enourmous?" Jack asked, hesitatedly.
"It's not...we're small." Ven groaned in dismay.
"And in different forms of toys." Lea commented, gazing at himself as he now looked a bit like really cool fire action figure.
The others, while their heads and body shapes were the same, realised that he was right; Sora looked a bit like an action figure himself, his arms were painted black and a bit like a video game warrior. Riku and Terra both looked like modern gladiators. Ven and Roxas found themselves looking like hawiian figurines but still had their clothes on. Kairi was dressed as a bit like a super heroine. Same with Aqua, Xion and Skuld. Mickey, Donald and Goofy all wore small hats and black suits save for their white gloves. Jack, while still in his pirate attire, looked a bit more fitted for a pirate child's costume. And needless to say...they were quite astonished.
"Whoa! How did this happen?" Sora exclaimed, gazing at him. Sure he'd turn into other forms before in other worlds; a vampire in Halloween Town, a Merman with a Dolpin's tail in Atlantica, a Digital form twice in Space Paranoids and the Grid, and a small Lion in Pride Lands. But never a toy in a world like this.
"What kind of crazy world is this?" Roxas added, glancing around.
"Just go along with it. We can't let anybody know that we're here." Donald told everyone firmly.
"Why not? None of us told anyone where we're from so far." Jack questioned, feeling very uncomfortable and decided that the sooner this world was saved from the Heartless and whatever trouble there was, the better they were back on the Gummiship and back to their true forms.
Donald placed a hand to his chest and said rather proudly, "It's to protect the World Order."
"I agree with that, but..." Aqua began, doubtful, "Who's to say that things are just really ordinary around here?"
"Hey, where's Myde?" Goofy suddenly asked, looking around as he suddenly realised that their Mullet-haired friend wasn't speaking, and now that he looked, he wasn't there at all.
As soon as he said this, the others looked around them and could've sworn that Myde was right with them. It became clear that the cause of Myde's sneeze...caused him to appear somewhere else in the world.
"Oh no! Myde's disappeared!" Mickey exclaimed, worriedly.
"Where could he be?" Skuld asked, concerned.
"I hope he's alright." Kairi said. As much as Myde was lazy...he wasn't such a bad guy once one got used to him.
Before anyone could do anything however, out of the darkness and materializing, were the familiar monsters, and some of them even taken up Toy forms as well. This caused everyone to quickly summon their weapons when they recongised the Heartless that appeared.
"Guess we'll have to take these guys out first." Riku grunted, annoyed.
"Just wish they would just go away and never come back." Jack groaned.
"You're telling me." Donald nodded in agreement.
The group immediately took action while careful not to ruin the room or worse, set the bed on fire. Sora leaped into the air before thrusting his Keyblade downward, smashing the normal Shadow Heartless into oblivion before dodge-rolling out of the way when a Heartless that looked like a toy Robot about his height shot out lasers at him. The sixteen year old responded by tossing his Keyblade expertly and finished it off before it had the chance to attack again.
Kairi and Xion both held hands and spun around and around while twirling with their Keyblades out which glowed in light and created a spinning wheel of light that whacked and knocked away the Heartless that tried to attack them only to be hit back and eventually destroyed. The two young women then let go of each other and continued to fight the Heartless solo.
Aqua back-flipped while avoiding the helmet Heartless before responding by catching it off-guard, finishing it off when she swiped it's chest with her Keyblade. She then held her Keyblade up in the air and spun around and around while being covered in elegant light which absorbed the Heartless above her while they were being destroyed by the power of light within her heart. As soon as they were gone, she finished her ability before moving on to fight the rest of the Heartless.
Lea used his Keyblade this time and having gotten used to doing this with just one hand, sliced one Heartless from head to foot before thrusting out a ball of fire at three more while being very careful not to burn anything else in the room. He then switched out from his Keyblade to his Chakrams and tossed them expertedly where the weapons flew around the room and took out other Heartless that didn't see this coming while catching the Chakrams when they returned to him.
Isa, Terra and Riku thrusted their weapons repeatedly around the larger belly Heartless that were also their current size and while there were three of the Belly Heartless, none the less, with the combination of wind, thrusts and light, the trio sucessfully finished them off while avoiding in hitting or destorying anything else in the room.
Ven, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Skuld and Roxas used the combination of somursaults, magic, back-flips, thrusts, slashes, Goofy-nado, and Keyblade Boomarang attacks on the ten Heartless they were fighting while using cure magic on themselves as well as everyone else when they were slightly caught off-guard themselves, but still managed to successfully taken out the Heartless.
Jack in the meantime used his swordsman ship with his Keyblade and even sliced on of the Robot-Toy-formed Heartless's head off before cringing as while the Heartless disappeared as a Heartless normally would when being destroyed, the thought of how easy it was to break things like this in this world would be enough to give him nightmares.
"Sorry, mate." Jack muttered, before panickly saved himself just in time when another Heartless tried to shot lasers at him only for the pirate to thrust his Keyblade at it's chest before it had the chance.
Eventually after three more minutes, things had finally calmed down and the worldly travellers sighed in relief before dismissing their weapons, only to slightly tense again when they heard an unfamiliar, slightly high-pitched voice say, sounding quite amazed, "Did you guys see what those guys just did!? It's like they're super heroes!"
"Nothing like in the video games or movies, that's for sure." Another unfamiliar voice admitted.
When Sora and his friends turned to their right to see who was talking, they were in for a major surprise as a group of...toys approached them, same height as their current heights...It was the SpaceRanger Toy, the Mr. Potato Head Toy, the Piggybank, the T-Rex Toy, Bo Peep Toy, and even a Mrs. Potato Head Toy and even moving toy cars.
It was both the T-Rex Toy(who spoke first) and the Mr. Potato Head Toy that had spoken.
"You all were very amazing in defeating those masked intruders." The SpaceRanger Toy said to Sora's group. "If you could do that with those...strangely magic things you materalized, you can't be real toys if you can do that."
"Toys!?" Sora's group exclaimed, shocked. So this world had living toys?
"That explains everything, I suppose." Riku thought. Now that he thought about it, considering their current forms, it made sense for this world to be another unsual one...especially since it had toys that come to life. How, though, was still a mystery.
"It's like what I used to be..." Xion whispered to Roxas, Lea and Isa who, while at least two of them had always treated her more of a human and their friend and never a toy, all three of them nodded in agreement, remembering the time when she was a replica of Sora's memories of Kairi.
Jack, finding this very unbelievable, just stared in open-mouthed shock, before leaning back and asked, with a dumbfounded look and uncertainty, "Is this a dream?"
"Uh, no." The T-Rex Toy answered.
"I thought not." Jack responded, before grumbling sarcastically, "Next, I'll be seeing a flying elephant."
"Wait. Are there really flying elephants? I never of that before." The T-Rex said, sounding even more amazed.
"Oh, for cryin' out loud. He's being sarcastic, you idiot." The Piggybank shook his head at the T-Rex Toy.
"I think introductions should be made first." The SpaceRanger Toy suggested, before clearing his throat and began, "I'm Buzz Lightyear. These are Bo Peep, Slinky, Rex, Hamm, Mr. and Mrs. PotatoHead, and Etch."
"Hey there. I'm Sora." Sora began, introducing himself and then introduced his group, "This is Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Roxas, Xion, Lea, Isa, Ven, Aqua, Terra, Skuld and Jack." as the group also said their hellos after this. He then asked, referring to Myde, "Um, you haven't seen another unfamiliar guy by any chance? Weird Mullet-hair-style?"
When the real Toys shook their heads which told them that they haven't, Sora sighed in disappointment.
"Right." Sora muttered. Looks like they were right back to square one.
"Sorry, pal. We haven't...because we're in a middle of a crisis ourselves." Slinky the Slinky Dog said.
"Gosh, what happened?" Mickey asked, quickly concerned.
"Well, for starters, our friend named Woody who is a Cowboy doll was stolen earlier today by someone at a Yard Sale." Buzz answered.
"A Cowboy doll stolen? Wasn't he sold or anythin'? I mean, why else was he at a Yard Sale?" Lea asked, confused.
"He wasn't being sold there." Mr. Potato Head began, "Woody crazily went there to rescue our friend Wheezy the toy Penguin when Andy's Mom wanted to sell him."
"I take that this Andy is your human owner." Aqua correctly theoried.
"You guessed right." Hamm said, "Andy's at a Cowboy camp right now, and, long story short, Woody was supposed to go like he does almost every year since Kinder Garden. But uh...he had a broken rip on his arm, so he had to be left behind."
"Ouch." Lea cringed in sympathy, before saying, "That still doesn't explain everything."
"Okay, let's try this again." Hamm sighed, "Anyway, when Wheezy was about to be sold, Woody rode on the household's dog Buster to sneak to the Yard Sale to rescue him. But he was accidently left behind and then some big fat guy came, wanting to buy him."
"But Mom wouldn't do that, because Woody is Andy's favorite toy. Then the big guy distracted her and then stole Woody while she wasn't looking!" Rex continued for Hamm, almost panicking.
"Why would anyone do such a thing?" Kairi gasped, shocked, as were her friends.
"That's awful." Mickey agreed, angered at the fact that a man would do something as cruel as stealing a child's favorite toy.
"That's just way too low. If I were normal size, I'd give that guy a piece of my mind." Lea grunted angrily.
"That's not very nice in stealing a child's values." Jack nodded in agreement, "Already bad enough for jewels and gold and even people to be stolen or kidnapped."
"Says the one who is a pirate who does that for a living." Isa muttered under his breath.
"And then those masked intruders appeared after that an hour ago, so we kinda had to back away as much as possible." Buzz concluded, "I have no idea who they are though."
"They're Heartless." Goofy answered.
"They're the bad guys." Donald added.
"Do they...normally appear out of nowhere like ghosts?" Slinky asked, seeing how Sora's group are familiar with the masked intruders.
"Yeah, unfortunately. They're just as dangerous as some normal people." Terra replied. "We're the only ones who can handle them." referring to himself and the rest of the worldly travellers.
"Well, that explains something about those creepy guys." Mr. Potato Head thought.
"And to think that they strangely appeared after Woody was stolen. I wonder why, though." Bo Beep thought, worriedly.
"It's more of the case of the greed in heart of the man who kidnapped your friend." Skuld replied, "While it's best for what we're about tell you to keep it a secret, Heartless lurk because of the darkness in everyone's hearts. It's most likely because of that man's greed is what brought the Heartless here in the first place."
Rex gasped in horror, before asking, "You mean those bad guys are with him!?"
"Um...it's kinda complicated, since we don't know what he looks like." Sora shrugged.
"Well, that's easy. We do." Hamm replied, before nodding at Etch who, while not talking, self-drew on it's pad, but due to the lack of memory of both of them, the picture of the man from earlier that was holding Woody had a ridiculously long beard that went down to his knees. "Composite sketch of the kidnapper, guys."
"He didn't have a beard like that." Bo Peep pointed out.
"Fine. Uh, Etch. Give him a shave." Hamm requested, and Etch did so, redoing the drawing and this time, exactly like the man the Toys saw earlier...but most of them were still not happy.
"The kidnapper was bigger than that." Slinky pointed out.
"Oh, picky, picky, picky."
"At least he does look like the kind of guy to be greedy in his own ways." Lea thought at the sketch, before adding, "Not to mention a serious need to go on a diet."
"Does anyone know where he went?" Ven asked.
"Well, let's see." Mr. Potato Head said, pointing to the direction where the bed was, "Now, the vehicle fled the scene in this direction."
This time, Hamm protested and pointed at the opposite direction, "Your eyes are in backwards. It went the other way."
"Hey, put a cork in it!" Mr. Potato Head yelled.
"I know! Why don't we call the FBI?" Rex suggested, before asking in confusion, "How do you spell FBI?" as he had walked away to find a piece of paper and wanted to write a letter, but accidently bumped into other toys who were trying to help by setting up a crime scene.
"Whoa, be careful!" Sora cried out.
"My crime scene!" Mr. Potato Head cried out, dismayed at the mess the T-Rex Toy was making.
"Hey, watch it you big palooka!" Donald yelled.
"Oh, why don't you watch where you're goin', "Godspilla"?" Hamm groaned in dismay at Rex's accident prone clumsiness.
"I didn't know there was a crime scene." Rex replied.
"Hey, where's Buzz?" Goofy asked, noticing that Space Ranger Toy just disappeared.
"Excuse me. Excuse me. A little quiet please." Buzz's voice spoke from behind the group, and when Sora's group and the other Toys of this world turned to see that Buzz had silently slipped past and was now at the front of the best, with a spelling toy helping him with something.
Curious and confused on what Buzz was doing, both groups ventured to where the other toy was, seeing that he was...well, they had no idea what he was actually doing.
"Buzz? Whatcha doin'?" Mickey asked, curiously.
"There was some sort of message encoded on that vehicle's ID tag." Buzz answered. "I've seen it before the man disappeared."
"ID tag?" Sora blinked, confused.
"Never heard of it." Jack muttered, equally puzzled.
"I think he means the number plate on that feller's car." Goofy said to the two of them.
"Aw, that's not gonna help. Number plates just have random letters and numbers." Donald groaned, exasperated.
"You're right." Mr. Potato Head rolled his eyes, "Let's leave Buzz to play with his toys." turning to leave as were the other toys while Sora and his group just stood there, wondering how they can help with this, especially given that no doubt the man who kidnapped Woody is the main cause of the Heartless appearing in this world.
However, what Mr. Potato Head said triggered the memory in Buzz's mind, "Toy. Toy. Toy! Hold on!" and typed onto the Spelling Toy, causing the other toys to turn back while the worldly travellers wondered what Buzz had in mind now.
Once the Space Ranger Toy was finished, the Spelling Toy buzzed electrical words that came up, "Al's Toy Barn."
"All's Toy Barn?" Everyone asked, puzzled.
Remembering the feather he brought back and suddenly realising now why both were familiar, Buzz commanded to Etch, "Etch, draw that man in a chicken suit."
"Wait, what?" Roxas slumped, even more dumbfounded.
Despite the confusion, Etch did so, redrawing the picture for the third time, and this time, drew the man in the said chicken suit holding Woody. When he did, the rest of the Toys gasped in shock, surprise and horror.
"It's the Chicken Man!" Rex exclaimed.
"That's our guy." Buzz nodded in agreement.
"I knew there was somethin' I didn't like about that chicken." Hamm muttered, eyes narrowing.
"Do you know him?" Sora asked, pointing at the picture of the guy dressed in the chicken costume that made him look totally ridiculous.
"He's the guy who does commercials of a toy store called Al's Toy Barn, wearing that Chicken Costume. We usually called him the Chicken Man...and everytime I saw him, that guy always looked suspicious and thought he was up to no good. Turns out I was right." Hamm explained.
"If he were a real chicken, he would be the most ridiculous chicken I've ever seen." Jack muttered, before asking, "Why would anyone make costumes out of animals?"
"Not used to all the whacky things, like us, are you?" Mr. Potato Head asked, reading along the lines of the sentence.
"You've no idea." The pirate replied.
"Okay, seriously. Does he just go randomly steal kids' toys around the neighborhood and then sell them at that store of his without anyone noticin'?" Lea asked, just as angry and confused as ever.
"I doubt it, but that's the best place where he can be found with Woody." Buzz responded.
"You said that he appears on commercials, right?" Mickey asked. When the Toys nodded to confirm it, an idea came to mind in the King's head as he then said, "Welp, since some TV commercials give out maps to locations of all kinds of stores, I betcha that's where we need to look at next."
"What do you mean, 'we'?" Mr. Potato Head asked.
"Well, we tend to help out others who are in trouble quite a lot lately, and toy or not, your friend's been kidnapped, and that's something my friends and I don't like." Sora replied.
"Not to mention that one of our friends is missing too. So, if it's alright, can we all help each other to find our friends?" Kairi added and requested.
The other Toys looked at each other, before nodding in agreement as Rex asked, "What do you think, Buzz?"
"Well, they do have a point." Buzz thought, before approaching Sora and said, "As you said, Woody's been kidnapped and your friend is missing. So, since you helped out already in how dangerous the Heartless are, we should work together." holding out his hand to Sora.
Sora smiled, and shook hands with the Space Ranger Toy, "Right."
Everyone either smiled or in Rex, Goofy and Donald's case, cheered.
"Okay. So, next up, finding the commercial to Al's Toy Barn and making a map." Buzz declared.
The worldly travellers and the Toys soon sprung into action in Operation Search and Rescue.
Meanwhile, in a office-like apartment...
When Myde had stepped out of the portal after sneezing, not only had he found himself on his own, but having shrunk down to size of a child's doll. To further his dismay, despite his head being the same, he was wearing a black cowboy hat, blue shirt and white vest, black jeans and navy- coloured boots and...he was hiding underneath a couch.
'Man. Where're the guys? And why in Kingdom Hearts am I in a form of a cowboy doll? And what's with this guy in the chicken costume with another cowboy doll in a glass case?' Myde grumbled in his mind while keeping silent.
Earlier when he stepped through the portal, the cowboy doll was already in the case, and just three minutes later, the guy appeared in the chicken costume, and was now talking on a mobile phone, and seemed to be talking about some commercial.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll be right there. And we're gonna do this commercial in one take. Do you hear me? Because I am in the middle of something really important!" The man in the Chicken suit, Al', said, before groaning and hung up.
He then smirked greedly at the cowboy doll, "You, my little cowboy friend, are gonna make me big buck-buck-bucks." laughing as he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
"Ugh. Finally. Thought he'd never leave." Myde groaned as he came out of his hiding from underneath the couch and glanced around of the simple room which had the couch, another couch, a shelf that had the cowboy doll in the case, and a single TV. The walls were coloured in dark gray. On the floor in the middle of the room were a couple of cardboard boxes. "Geez, he could've picked a better setting and colour."
"Psst!" An unfamiliar voice hissed.
"Huh? Wh-what was that?" Myde asked, looking around as he wondered where that noise was coming from.
"Hey, up here!" The voice spoke.
"W-where?" The young man glanced around until he looked up and saw...the Cowboy doll moving, and after a bit of struggle, pushed the glass door of the case open and then jumped and landed onto the floor. Myde couldn't believe what he was seeing.
The Cowboy doll was alive!
"Uh, howdy." The cowboy doll, named Woody, waved with his still movable left hand.
"AHH!" Myde screamed in fright, collasping onto his butt and crawled back a little, which caused Woody to scream in fright half a second later. "Y-Y-Y-You're-You're-!"
"Whoa, hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Did I frighten you? Didn't mean to." Woody quickly said, "Sorry about that. My name is Woody. So um...did Al' steal you too?"
"Steal?" Myde blinked, blankly while still shocked at the fact that this world had living and talking toys that had people personality. Then everything else in the question absorbed into his head and asked, "Wait, you mean that guy in the chicken costume didn't buy you or somethin' like that?"
"I wasn't even up for sale, so, no." Woody replied, shrugging, "I have no idea why I was stolen in the first place."
"What kind of dude would do somethin' like that?" Myde asked, slowly standing up. For a creepy living toy...Woody didn't seem that bad of a guy, at least. Plus, also remembering the World Order, even though this was a real crazy world, he knew he had to try and play along like a toy...which meant playing dead when normal people were around.
"Well, if I knew, I'd tell ya' already." Woody sighed.
"Oh, sorry." Myde shrugged, a little sheepishly, before remembering something and introduced himself, "Oh yeah, almost forgot. Hey'ya. I'm Myde."
"Myde? No offence, but that's an unusual name for a cowboy doll." Woody replied.
"So is Woody." Myde pointed out, before asking when he noticed the rip in the real toy's right arm and asked, "What happened to you?"
"Oh, uh...my owner accidently ripped me...and speaking of which, I gotta get home, fast before he comes back from Cowboy camp." Woody said, moving past Myde and tried to jump up and reach the door handle.
"Don't think that's gonna work. Maybe the window might help since I got friends I gotta find too. Couldn't do that while Mr. Chicken Guy was around." Myde replied, heading over to the window next to the shelf.
Woody followed the unknowingly young man in toy form, and the two of them stood at the window while trying to find a latch to open it. Too their horror, though, it would be suicidal if they attempted to jump, because as far as they could see, they were in an apartment block...which was 23 levels up.
"...Or maybe not the window." Myde squeaked, feeling his stomach drop at how high they were. "Talk about a drop!"
The Cowboy doll didn't respond. All he could think about was his owner, Andy. As much as it irked him with the fear of being dumped and no longer played, he continued to be stubborn and wanted to get home as much as possible. Not to mention that the other 'toy' next to him needed to get back to where he came from too.
Woody looked around and then found another exit; a vent that lead into the venilators and hopefully, an elevator he could catch a ride on. "Over there!" He said.
Myde turned to see what Woody was saying as the latter then jumped back onto the floor and tried to pull the grate open. Seeing that he needed help and that was their exit, the former Nobody jumped and tried to pull it open as well.
"Come on, you stupid vent!" Myde grunt as he and Woody pulled futilessly.
Suddenly, a loud 'POP!' caused the two stop struggling and freeze. Both Myde and Woody slowly turned around at the same time and found the box lids suddenly open and safety beans had scattered all over the place, as though something came out of the box.
"Huh?" Myde blinked.
"What?-WHOA!" Woody suddenly cried out when he found himself lifted in the air and he and Myde who stumbled back in surprise, found that it was a child-like toy brown horse with a saddle who happily ran around the room, giving Woody a crazy ride.
"AHH, AHH, AHH!" Woody screamed, before crying out to the unfamiliar horse, "Hey! Stop! Horsey, stop! Stop! Sit, boy! Stop it! Sit, I said! Whoa!"
When he said 'Whoa', that was enough to finally make the horse stop, but the force of it caused Woody to be slightly catapaulted onto the floor where he landed on his head, looking between his legs. To his and Myde's shock, an unfamiliar Cowgirl doll with a white shirt, black vest, cloth shuffles on her blue jeans, red yarn that was her hair, blue eyes and a red cowgirl hat, bend upside down to face him, and was grinning like crazy.
"YEE-HAAA!" She hollared, as though relieved and excited, which was scarying Woody. He wasn't the only one who was terrified right now.
The Cowgirl doll then pulled him into a hug, cuddling him and rubbing his head, saying excitedly, "It's you! It's you! It's you, it's you, it's you! It's really you!"
"What's me?" Woody asked.
"What's going on here?" Myde asked, wide-eyed at the crazy scene before him.
The Cowgirl then hugged Woody in a squeezing hug, saying, "Prospector said someday you'd come."
"Who?" Myde asked, slowly making his way to the two.
"Huh? Who're you?" The Cowgirl asked, finally noticing the new 'Cowboy' in the room.
"Uh, this is Myde. Just met him a few minutes ago too." Woody answered.
"Well, howdy, there, Myde! I'm Jessie!" Jessie, the Cowgirl doll, said happily, holding out a hand in greeting.
"Uh, heya." Myde replied, shaking hands with the crazy female toy. "I-I mean, Howdy."
"You're here, and new cowboy doll too! This is the best day of my life! Prospector will be twice as happy!" Jessie said with glee, before gasping as she remebered something and dropped Woody to the ground. "Sweet mother of Abraham Lincoln! The Prospector! He'll wanna meet ya's!"
She then whistled out to the horse, who then ran up to the box and jumped back in, and then seconds later, a small box, this time coloured in blue in a painting of the wild west, came flying out. The horse then jumped back out and pushed the box towards the trio while Woody was pulled up by Jessie and Myde approached.
"Say hello to the Prospector." Jessie introduced.
An awkward silence. All the box had was the outback background and a picture of some old stumpy guy in a red shirt, blue jean-like trousers, a slightly rigged black Cowboy hat, a gold tooth and a pickaxe.
"I-It's a box." Woody pointed out.
"With a picture of some guy on it." Myde added.
"He's mint in the box. Never been opened." Jessie explained, almost omniously.
Just then, another voice, seeming coming from within the box, spoke, "Turn me around, Bullseye, so I can see."
Bullseye, the toy horse, did so and within the box with a plastic clearing on the front, was a shorter toy cowboy that matched that of the picture of the guy on the back. When he saw both Woody and Myde, sheer relief and happiness filled his expression that looked like he was about to cry.
"Why, the prodigal son has returned, and a new cowboy has come to town." The cowboy doll, apparently the Prospector, said dearly.
"Ooh boy." Myde muttered, uncertainly.
"YEE-HAH!" Jessie cheered, nearly breaking Woody's eardrum and jumped up and down happily, hugging him again, repeating her earlier happiness, "It's you! It's you! You're here! It's you, it's you, it's you!"
Finally, Woody broke free from Jessie's overly enthusiastic hug before backing away with Myde, both boys having terrified looks while the other toys walked up towards them...well, Bullsye was pushing the box with the Prospector in it the same pace as everyone else.
"Okay, I'm officially freaked out now." Woody said.
"You're not the only one." Myde said.
"Oh, we've waited countless years for this day. It's good to see you, Woody." Prospector said, ignoring the freaked out expressions the younger men were feeling.
"Waiting countless years...for him?" Myde asked, pointing at Woody with a quirked eye-brow. What were these crazy bozos talking about?
"Listen, I don't know wh-hey, how do you know my name?" Woody asked, now confused on how the Prospector knew his name before he even introduced himself.
"Everyone knows your name, Woody." Jessie answered.
"Well, I didn't." Myde pointed out, "Not 'til we both met about ten minutes ago. Anyway, can somebody please explain to me what's goin' on?"
"Why neither of you know, do you?" Prospector said, realising that by the blank and confused looks of the two, neither Woody or this young new Cowboy named Myde had any idea. Well, Myde he can understand. Apparently the new 'toy' didn't know Woody's past. He then turned to the horse and muttered his name.
Bullseye, getting the hint, ran up to a lamp and pulled the light string which lit up the room which nearly blinded both Woody and Myde who both turned around to avoid the light. When they did, their eyes widened in shock and stunned disbelief. There were other toys and items on another shelf that neither of them had noticed until now...with pictures of Woody himself, along with Jessie, the Prospector and Bullseye on them...that included old plates and black and white photos, and toys that were not like the dolls. In English, that meant these toys were not alive.
There were so much of it that Woody backed away, stunned and thoroughly amazed before bumping into something that was wooden. When he turned around to see what it was, it was a human-sized cut-out cardboard picture of himself. Finally, noticing that he stepped on something, he looked to the floor and saw an old magazine with pictures of himself, Jessie, Bullseye and the Prospector...dating back to the 1950's.
"Holy cow..." Woody muttered, eyes wide, just as Myde approached and stood beside him, just as stunned.
"Whoa...I didn't know you were based on an old TV show." Myde muttered. Who would've thought that the guy next to him was based on a show in this world. While TV was rare in his life, in some worlds that he slacked off during his time in Organization XIII, he'd seen some tvs and always thought how cool it was to have one.
"Neither did I." Woody admitted.
While they were gazing at the magazine, they then heard an old country violin music turned on behind them, causing both Myde and Woody to turn around and saw that Bullseye had placed a video tape in a VHS and Jessie had turned on the TV with a remote, the two of them showing Woody the said old show which was in black in white, and given Myde's small memory of what he heard in the Gummiship onway to Kuzco-Topia, it was like the past of Mickey, Donald and Goofy in the Timeless River before Disney Castle was built.
"Cowboy Crunchies, the only cereal that's sugar-frosted and dipped in chocolate, proudly presents..." An announcer said as the title of the old show opened up from within a bar and the intro appeared, and it was clear to be a puppet-show.
"~Woody's Roundup, Come on, it's time to play. There's Jessie, the Yodelin' Cowgirl~"
"Lookit! Lookit! That's me!" Jessie chirped up when a puppet of herself appeared and then plastic puppets of cute critters of animals appeared when she yodelied.
"~Bullseye, he's Woody's horse~ He's a smart one!"
Next up, Bullseye appeared on the screen and tossed a horse-shoe at a horse-shoe game, successfully winning, much to the real Bullyeye's shyness.
"~Pete, the old prospector~"
"Has anyone seen my pickaxe?" The Prospector's puppet counterpart appeared, and from the looks of things, was the more dim-witted one, because not only the voices were different, but the one on the screen was unaware that his pickaxe was...on his butt.
"Ah ha, ah ha, ah ha ha ha!" Myde bursted out laughing when he saw this, while the real Prospector facepalmed himself in exasperation.
"~And the man himself, of course, It's time for Sheriff Woody~"
Finally, Woody's puppet counterpart walked from a bar before leaping onto Bullseye's back and rowdied while holding his hat in the air as the song and intro came to an end and the show began with the first episode.
"~He's the very best. He's the rootin'-est, tootin'-est cowboy in the wild, wild west. Woody's Roundup~"
"I think I'm gonna like this show." Myde admitted after calming down from laughter.
However, what both Myde and Woody would find out later would shock them both...and possibly cause some tensions. What also concerned Myde was that no Heartless appeared...at least not yet.
A/N: I wasn't originally going to add Toy Story, but I finally admitted defeat since it's been nagging me for a while now. Please do note that this is the only time I'm adding the Toy Story world in any of my stories. See you in the next chapter!
