The other toys were scattered all over the room; they didn't have the patience just to sit and wait. However this made the introduction easier for Miss Dashwood and more pleasant for Miss Bennet.

Miss Dashwood led her first to Woody and Bo. Miss Bennet was quite taken; Bo answered precisely her picture of a highly sophisticated and fine lady. She was happy also to notice that she could chat easily and smiled a lot; Miss Bennet didn't feel a stranger at all. And Woody! She remembered his face from the cellar and gravely expressed her gratitude. Woody laughed that it was nothing but Miss Bennet claimed on the contrary; and a couple of minutes went by with discussing about the rescue trip.

Then it was Miss Dashwood's time to lead her to Buzz and Jessie who were already waiting for them in front of the beside table. Miss Dashwood recognized Buzz's suit immediately and smiled wide at him; she thanked him for what he had done for her and squeezed his hand. However the suit still went above her understanding; but she had plenty of time to get used to it. Then she greeted Jessie. Trousers on a woman! Heavens! Miss Bennett had never met a cowgirl before. She shook hands with her and felt that she was rather harsh mannered; but her open and cheerful air fascinated her. This was indeed a girl who knew how to have fun! Miss Dashwood took her to meet others.

"Now you will meet Matt and Katie. Oh, there's Matt!"

Miss Bennet's eyes widened as she saw this man. She had not accustomed to see men in so…tight clothes. In short, she had never seen a man's body so clearly before. Heavens, heavens! At first she didn't even know where to look at. But as she heard Matt throwing a couple of easy-going jokes and salute her with whole pertinence, she rose her face and gave him a smile. But oh! Right when she had the courage to start speaking to him, she saw his girl Katie. She quit her sentence and just stared at her. Katie was in a very good mood:

"Howdy missy B…Howzit goin'?"

Miss Bennet tried to answer something appropriate but didn't know if she succeeded. Didn't that short woman just sound like a man? Triple heavens! And oh! She had bare ankles! Miss Bennet was quite shocked. She herself couldn't even imagine of revealing her own ankles. She observed this weird model of a woman in silence and listened her chatting with Miss Dashwood. That harsh usage of language! Actually, Katie had something very interesting to tell about miranovical neutron-quasars. Miss Bennet was driven to the conversation without noticing it. Afterwards, she thought, Katie seemed quite wise to her, and she thought her the smartest girl in the room. However, her muscles scared a bit, still.

During the following hour she met nearly all the toys in the room. The Potatoes, Rex, Hamm, Slinky, Wheezy, Mr. Mikey, RC Car –and of course a wide range of Sam's toys, including Mira Nova. That blue-tanned alien, thought Miss Bennet, was the most horrible sight, and she also thought her wholly tasteless. Who would ever wear a space suit and pink lipstick together? Horrible, horrible… Miss Bennett looked concerned at Miss Dashwood:

"Dear, you have introduced me to very many delightful persons, but…haven't you forgotten somebody?"

"You must mean Warp and Zurg."

"I do. At least I must see them to say how thankful I am."

"Don't worry, you will meet them. I just decided that they are the last ones you'll see."
"How come?"

"Well…It is a kind of a special introduction. You see... Zurg is my dearest friend here, and Warp… Em… I just think you won't have the time to get to know others anymore after seeing him."

"What do you mean?"

"You shall find it out by yourself in a couple of minutes. Now come on, we will meet them there, in front of that chest of drawers."

Zurg was already there, waiting for them. He looked at the two girls and smiled; his heart just melted when he saw Miss Dashwood's exuberant happiness. Miss Bennet's first impression of him was that he was quite majestic; and when Zurg soon after welcomed her by kissing her hand, she thought him with extreme respect and warmness. Miss Dashwood had indeed chosen a good man as a best friend! Miss Bennet whispered to her that she was quite taken by his politeness, where Miss Dashwood felt incomprehensible pride of him.

"But where is Warp? Miss Bennet here is very eager to meet him!"

"Really?" Zurg asked smilingly. Miss Bennet went scarlet:

"No, I am not! I mean… I want to show him my gratitude and shake hands with him. He saved my life."

Zurg and Miss Dashwood looked amused at each other. Miss Bennet didn't understand at all.

"What?"

Miss Dashwood giggled:

"Well… You may find it a little difficult to shake hands with him… At least at first."

"What do you mean?"

But they didn't have to explain. Right then Warp appeared in front of Miss Bennet, his huge right metal hand whipping in the air for salutation.

"Well, well, well… Me li'l swan is back! Now give Unca Warp a biiiig hug…"

Warp tried to embrace her but Miss Bennet took some steps backwards, hands in front of her just ready to stop him. She was stiff of fright and couldn't say a word. That sly and wide grin! And those piercing, greedy eyes! He was acting like some… some robber! Like a real scumbag! And that blue face! That was definitely something she couldn't bear! Was he somehow related to that… what was her name… Mirry Sofa? Impossible! This could not be the same gentle man she had known in the cellar! But she forced herself to recognize the too-familiar rough voice and that unforgettable usage of language. He was the same man. Heavens! And how could she ever have missed the fact that he was that tall –and strong! She got only one sensible sentence out of her mouth:

"Oh, dear…!"

This was merely meant to describe her horrified feelings; but Warp took it quite in another way.

"Me sweet tiny dandelion, I knew ya liked me, too!" Then he wined his left fist around her neck and pressed his nose against hers. "Whee, arentya a charmin' tootsie!"

Miss Dashwood and Zurg followed the happenings with hilarious minds. Warp launched some barbaric compliments of Miss Bennet's pretty looks and put his best to get her in his toils. Miss Bennet instead looked extremely frightened and tried to escape Warp's scythe-like fingers that continuously tried to capture her waist. She got rid of his claw, screamed and ran away to the wardrobe; which Warp understood quite wrong and went after her, some "real luv" in his mind. Miss Dashwood and Zurg were left alone to laugh. Warp didn't seem to give up; and Miss Bennet didn't seem to calm down; so what else could have followed but a cat-and-dog –race that continued over the whole night. Miss Dashwood gave Zurg a gentle smile:

"Now isn't it already the time to party?"

"Sure it is. Come on!"
