Chapter 6: Feeling Replaced
[Strange Things by Randy Newman]
Andy was having a fun playtime jumping on his bed with Woody in his hand. He then shook Woody in front of his drawn picture. Andy then put Woody down in front of one of the boxes. Then he brought down Buzz, raised his arm, fired his laser at Woody and slapped him down like he was shot.
Andy then ran into his closet and came out dressed like a Space Ranger. "Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!" He said, heading out the door. Woody came to life and experienced the changes happening.
New Buzz Lightyear posters were placed on the walls. New pictures of Buzz were drawn and placed on the wall too. Woody looked down on the bed to see that even the bedsheets were changed too.
Meanwhile, Buzz was helping Rex with his roar. Rex gave off a weak roar, then Buzz had Rex stand up straight. Rex then gave a bigger roar that blew Potato Head's pieces. Rex shook Buzz's hand, thanking him.
Woody noticed Etch walking by. Woody stopped him, noticing that Etch has drawn Buzz. Woody glared at Buzz, who was combing Troll's hair. Woody then picked up Etch and shook him, erasing the draw.
Rock, Snake, Kaz, Peyton, Troll and Rex were lifting weights made from pieces of a Playskool Tinkertoy Construction Set, while Buzz was jogging on Robot's wheel feet like a treadmill, and Mr. Spell was tracking his speed. Potato Head attempted to lift a big weight himself, but his arms popped off, making him fall on his back.
Woody pulled out the checkers board and started looking for Slinky, hoping to play a game. He noticed Slinky's butt walking behind the bed. He peaked around the corner to see Slinky, Robot, Tangath and Intress helping Buzz hoist his spaceship onto some building blocks. Woody got so mad, he kicked the board, sending the pieces flying. One of them bounced off the drawer and into his mouth.
A while later, Buzz was tickling Slinky's chin on the bed. In the process, Slinky's happy-wagging tail was smacking Woody's face. Woody smacked Slinky's butt off the bed. And as the butt was slink attached, Slinky's front part followed.
That evening, Andy was putting his toys back in the chest. When he got to Woody and Buzz, he was a little indecisive, until he made up his mind. He went to bed with Buzz and put Woody in the chest. Woody peaked up from the chest as the other toys slept. Woody sadly closed the lid.
The next morning, Woody peaked through a crack in the chest. Once he saw that the coast was clear, he threw the lid open. "Finally!" He said, gasping for air. He then felt that his hat was gone. "Hey, who's got my hat?" He asked. Just then, Shark popped up, wearing Woody's hat. "Look! I'm Woody! Howdy, howdy, howdy." He said. Woody laughed sarcastically. "Give me that!" He said, snatching his hat back. He hopped out of the chest and put his hat back on, just as Harry walked over. "Rough night, Woody?" Harry asked. "Very." Woody answered. They both looked over to Buzz talking to Rex, Slinky, Seamus and Dean. "Say there, Wizard Boys, Lizard and Stretchy Dog, let me show you something. It looks as though I've been accepted into your culture. Your chief, Andy, inscribed his name on me." Buzz said, showing Andy's name on his boot. "Wow! With permanent ink too." Rex said impressed. Woody then started to shake with anger. "Well, I must get back to repairing my ship." Buzz said, walking back to his ship.
Woody lifted his right foot to glance at Andy's name. "Feeling dejected?" Harry asked. "Don't let it get to you, Woody." Bo said, walking up with Ron and Hermione. "Uh, let what? I don't- what do you mean? Who?" Woody asked, trying to act fine. "Woody, we know you're jealous." Ron said. "I know that Andy's excited about Buzz, but you know he'll always have a special place for you." Bo assured. "Yeah. Like the attic." Potato Head joked, walking by. "Alright. That's it!" Woody snapped, marching over to Buzz. "Oh, I smell trouble." Ron said. "This is not gonna end well." Hermione said. "I know." Harry said as they followed.
Buzz laid down on a skateboard and rolled under his ship. "Union directional bonding strip." Buzz requested. "Mr. Lightyear wants more tape." Robot said. Snake ripped a strip of from the roll Rock was holding. Woody walked up and pulled Buzz out from under his ship. "Listen, Light Snack, you stay away from Andy. He's mine. And no one is taking him away from me." Woody warned. "What are you talking about?" Buzz asked, not understanding Woody. "Where's that bonding strip?" Buzz asked, rolling back under, but Woody pulled him back out. "And another thing, stop with this spaceman thing! It's getting on my nerves!" Woody said. "Are you saying you want to launch a complaint with Star Command?" Buzz asked, now getting annoyed with Woody. "Oh-ho. Okay. So, you wanna do it the hard way, huh?" Woody asked, looking to start a fight. Harry, Ron and Hermione were now getting worried. "Don't even think about it, cowboy." Buzz said, getting off the skateboard. "Oh yeah, tough guy?!" Woody shouted, hitting the button on Buzz's helmet, flipping it open. Buzz gasped and started to choke, thinking that the air was poisonous. Woody felt unamused, as did Harry, Ron and Hermione. Buzz continued to choke, until he started panting for air. He then started sniffing the air. "The air isn't toxic?" He whispered.
Buzz then stood up. "How dare you open a spaceman's helmet on an uncharted planet! My eyeballs could've been sucked from their sockets!" He said, flipping his helmet back on. "You actually think you're the Buzz Lightyear?" Woody asked. "Wait. He was being serious?" Ron asked. "Oh, this is too rich." Hermione snorted. "Oh, all this time I thought it was an act." Woody admitted, chuckling. "Hey guys, look! It's the 'real' Buzz Lightyear!" He called to the others while Buzz glared. "You're mocking me, aren't you?" Buzz asked. "Oh no. No, no, no, no, no." Woody lied until- "BUZZ LOOK, AN ALIEN!" He cried, pointing up. "Where?!" Buzz asked, looking behind him. Woody just laughed, knowing that Buzz fell for his joke. Harry, Ron and Hermione laughed along. Buzz just glared as the 4 fell to the floor, still laughing.
