Enjoy!
Cindy was fast asleep with Jessie and Bullseye in her arms. It had been a long time since either of them felt this kind of love. So, they dared not stir until it was time to go. Sarah was on the nightstand, glancing around for any suspicious activity. She had to keep her friend safe, but how? Suddenly, Sandy and Chelsea were climbing up the bed, looking to the cowgirl and her horse.
"Are you ready?" Chelsea whispered.
"You betcha."
Jessie and Bullseye climbed out of the little girl's arms and followed the two dolls. On the floor, two dinosaurs were waiting for their friends. One was the tiny dino Miss Churchill had rescued, but the other was a giant T-Rex. Sarah eyed the crew, watching as they made their way out of the room. She knew it was time to head out. She stood up and, with a quick costume change, became Miss Pompei once more.
"Now it's time to save a citizen," she whispered.
She hopped down from the table and quickly walked to the door. Sarah looked out into the hall. Making sure the coast was clear, Sarah looked around to see where the crew was going. She spotted Chelsea looking around outside of a door before going into the room. Sarah smirked and adjusted her cape before she followed her. She peered into the room, the moonlight being the only guidance she had. The playroom had a lot of hiding spots, so, when no one was looking, the doll ran towards a nearby Barbie car and hid in the driver's seat. Sarah watched as the four of Cindy's toys stood by Jessie and Bullseye. They looked excited for their initiation, unaware of what was to come. But the hero felt as though she knew what was going to occur. Chelsea stepped forward and gave a warm smile to the new toys.
"Today," she said," I'm pleased to welcome two new toys into our home. It's not everyday we get new toys into the house. Toys that are so...vintage, yet so refined and just a joy to have around! Jessie, Bullseye, will you please step forward?"
The two toys obliged, with Sarah watching intensely. Something didn't feel right...but perhaps this really was just an initiation. As the hero gave in to her doubts, she noticed a figure walking behind the dolls. Sarah kept a close eye as the two smiled down at the crew.
"I am pleased to welcome you to the Phillip's household," Chelsea said," but now, I pass this in the hands of another toy. Peter?"
Sarah stared as Jessie and Bullseye reeled back. Stinky Pete approached the two with a smile. The smile that the superhero highly detested. She put her hands on the steering wheel, wondering why they were growing upset. Bullseye growled at the man, but Jessie pulled her horse back, though she was growing just as angry as he was.
"Prospector," she grumbled.
"Oh? Did you not expect to see me, Jessie? I missed the both of you so much."
Sarah could tell that this bunch didn't get along. And she would have to act fast.
"Did you really never think you would see me again?" Pete asked as he took a step forward," Did you think that, after all these years, my face wouldn't come up again? Well well well-how mistaken you were."
"You were a monster!" Jessie spat out as she stepped back with the horse," You were going to make sure that we never got played with!"
"I was the monster?" he shouted, scaring the two," I went through countless years of torment and being covered in stickers and hair dye. I don't even have hair! I went through all of that trouble just to end up here. In a home where I could feel safe. Where I could sit up there and wait. I was hoping that I would see you again. Or Bullseye. Or Woody."
"Woody?" Sarah questioned to herself.
"Why?" Jessie asked firmly.
As Pete stepped forward and the two toys walked back, Chelsea and Sandy kicked a shoebox behind them. The two fell in and struggled as the dinosaurs tried to shut the box. As they tried to shut it and tape it, Sarah became panicked. Her hero instincts had to kick in and fast!
"What do I do? What do I do? What-?"
The horn of the car honked, and her position was revealed. The other toys looked at her, with the two in the box freezing as the box was taped. Sarah smirked as she started the engine and raced towards the group. Everyone ducked and the box was tossed to the other side of the room. The car stopped at the foot of the box as Sarah jumped out. She pulled the tape off and Jessie and Bullseye sprung up. While Jessie was recovering from a quick panic attack, the three jumped into the car and drove out into the hall.
"They weren't trying to help us at all...I'm sorry Sarah."
"It's okay," the hero said as they drove down the stairs," But we need to escape!"
The car stopped at the door in the living room. Sarah pondered as to what they could do. She looked up, seeing the window and the stormy night outside and got an idea. She hopped up from the sofa to the ledge, where she tried her best to open the latch. Jessie and Bullseye climbed up, unlocking the window and desperately trying to push it up. Hearing small thumping on the steps, the group squeezed under what little was open and slipped into the bushes. The three huddled close, seeing that the wind and the rain was picking up heavily. Sarah made a plan once she saw a line of trucks coming their way.
"Here's what we do," she said," Those trucks are going somewhere far away from here. Pete won't be able to see us in the rain. If we act now, we can hop on one of those trucks and get the heck away from here."
"And away from everything?" Jessie paused, then nodded," Let's do this."
Pete climbed up to the window just as the three rode towards the trucks. He felt pure anger as he started to slide out of the window. Chelsea and Sandy went to follow, but he refused to let them do so.
"You have to stay with Cindy," he said," and I have to get my revenge."
With that, he fled the scene, watching the other toys in the rain. Knowing he wouldn't catch up, Pete ran towards the last truck as they stopped. He grabbed his ax and dug onto the front, staying close as the wind picked up and the rain beat down against his plastic. Meanwhile, in the middle of the line of trucks, the three climbed onto the back of one of the trucks, staying safe and sound for the time being.
