Chapter 7: Sid
Suddenly, they heard a dog barking from the window. "Yes!" A child's voice yelled, cackling into the room. Slinky scurried under the bed in fear. "Uh oh." Woody said, getting up. "Don't tell me that's-" Hermione started to guess. "It's Sid!" Slinky revealed. Everyone started gasping and shaking in fear. Even the Troikas hopped back into each other in fear. "I thought he was at Summer Camp." Rex said. "They must've kicked him out early this year." Hamm guessed. Woody climbed up to Andy's desk. "Oh no. Not Sid!" Rex said as he followed.
"Incoming!" The voice yelled as Woody, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Rex, Bo, Potato Head, Ginny, Neville, Luna, Sly, Carmelita, Tom, Kaz, Peyton and Sarah looked out the window. Andy's ghoulish next-door neighbor, Sid Phillips, was throwing rocks at something. "Who is it this time?" Potato Head asked. "Yeah, who's Sid's victim for today?" Peyton asked. "I can't tell." Woody answered, not getting a good sight. "Hey, where's Lenny?" "Right here, Woody." Lenny said, waddling up to the group. "Oh no. I can't bear to watch another one of these again." Rex said as Woody picked up Lenny. "I know. None of us can, Rex." Tom said. Woody used Lenny's eyesight to focus on Sid's tortured-toy-of-the-day. A small toy army soldier with a firecracker taped on him. "Oh no. It's a Combat Carl." Woody revealed.
"What's going on?" Buzz asked, walking up. "Nothing that concerns you 'spacemen.' Just us toys." Woody said rudely. "I better take a look anyway." Buzz said, taking Lenny to look, eyeing the soldier. "Why is that soldier strapped to an explosive device?!" He asked. "That's why. Sid." Woody said, turning Buzz's head. But Buzz had Lenny focused on Sid's pet bull terrier, Scud. "Ooh, sure is a hairy fella." Buzz commented. "No, no! That's Scud, you idiot. That is Sid." Woody said, raising their sight on the cackling boy with the skull t-shirt. "You mean that happy child?" Buzz asked. "That ain't no 'happy' child." Potato Head said. "Yeah. Sid is the farthest thing from happy." Carmelita added. "He tortures toys just for fun!" Rex explained.
Just then, Sid threw a cinderblock near the soldier, nearly crushing him. "Well then, we've got to do something!" Buzz said, putting Lenny down and hopping onto the windowsill. Bo gasped at what he was doing. "What're you doing?! Get down from there!" She said, hooking his arm with her crook. "I'm gonna teach that boy a lesson!" Buzz said. "Oh. Yeah. Sure, go ahead. Melt him with your scary laser." Woody sarcastically said, pushing Buzz's laser button. "Be careful with that! It's extremely dangerous!" Buzz said, pulling his arm away.
Suddenly, Lenny noticed Sid lighting the firecracker's fuse with a match. "He's lighting it! He's lighting it! HIT THE DIRT!" He shouted. Everyone took cover. "Look out!" Buzz yelled, jumping for cover as the firecracker exploded, sending the pieces of the soldier flying all over the place. "Yes! He's gone! He's history!" Sid called in success as everyone came back out. Sid and Scud came out from their cover, laughing and barking with joy. "I could've stopped him!" Buzz grumbled. Woody just scoffed. "Buzz, I would love to see you try. Course I'd love to see you as a crater." He said with a small amount of sarcasm. "What a horrible, horrible boy." Hermione said. "The sooner we move, the better." Bo said.
