Hi guys! So I'm posting chapter three tonight, but I won't be able to post anything for this or any of my stories till probably late Saturday. I'll be away from my computer till then for a wedding. I hate to leave you guys hanging till then, but trust me, it will be worth it!*
It took a minute for Woody's eyes to adjust to the bright glow of the lamp as Benson finished stitching his back. Looking in the mirror across the way, he saw the long stitch, but sighed when he saw no familiar loop of his pull string. Next to him, Gabby Gabby was testing out his voice box, now equipped with voice disc.
"Hi there! I'm Gabby Gabby!" The voice box said. Gabby squealed with glee. "Oh it works! Thank you, Woody! Thank you so much!" She gave the cowboy a hug just as Bo and Buzz came over with Forky.
"Woody, why did you do that?" Bo asked. Woody looked over at Gabby, who was dancing in a circle.
"Because, for the last year, I've been exactly where she is." Woody said sadly.
"Woody..." Buzz began to say.
"Don't start, Buzz. It's no use trying to ignore it. Bonnie hasn't played with me in over a year. She, she's forgotten about me. I thought that when Andy passed us over to her, it would be the same as it was with him, but it's not." Woody turned back to her. "I thought that if I tried to help her that, that she would see me. I mean, I was made to help a child, but, I didn't realize it would be this hard. I just, lately I've been feeling, I've just been feeling so..."
"Lost. Bo said. You've been feeling lost. Oh Woody." She ran to him and threw his arms around his neck, hugging him. "Why didn't you say something earlier?"
"I was so focused on getting back Forky that it didn't seem important. I, I just wanted to do right by Andy and be there for Bonnie. That's why I'm still clinging to him. He trusted me to take care of her, but she, she just doesn't want me. I, I don't know what to do, Bo." Suddenly Forky cried out excitedly.
"Oh, look! It's happening!" Forky squealed. They heard the chime of the bell as Harmony came into the shop. She was looking around at the toys when she heard a girls voice.
"Hi there! I'm Gabby Gabby!" Harmony turned and saw Gabby Gabby sitting by the play table. The girl picked her up and stared at her. Then she shrugged her shoulders and tossed her into a wooden bin.
"Oh snap." Ducky said.
"That's just cold." Bunny said.
"What happened? Forky said. I thought she was supposed to be her toy." Woody walked towards the bin and climbed up over the edge.
"Gabby?" He asked. He looked down at the sad doll, who was turned away from him.
"You can have your voice box back if you want to. Gabby said, sadly. I don't need it anymore." Woody sighed and climbed into the box next to her.
"Gabby, I'm sorry about Harmony. So she wasn't the right kid for you, but we'll find you the perfect kid."
"Go away, Woody."
"Listen Gabby, a smart, wonderful toy once told me there are plenty of kids out there. Sometimes change can be good. You just have to open your eyes and seek it out." Bo smiled and walked over to the bin.
"He's right, Gabs. Don't waste your life on a shelf like I did. Go out and find your own happiness." She said.
"In fact, I know my little girl Bonnie would love to adopt you."
"Really? I would like that very much!"
"But she's all the way over in the RV park! How are we going to get to her in time?" Buzz asked. Woody thought for a minute.
"Buzz, your the fastest. Take Forky and get back to the RV. Met us back at the carousel. Go, go!" Buzz grabbed Forky and ran out of the shop. The cowboy turned to Bo and the others. "Come on guys, let's go. We need to move fast." They rushed out the back and onto the roof.
*OMG I want to see this movie again!*
