CHAPTER 5: MAKING GOOD FRIENDS WITH NEW TOYS

Knifey was running away faster as she saw that the sky was already dark at night.

"I have to get to Bonnie before it's too late! Woody and Bo are right, I belong with her. Now all I have to do is to escape the pirates," she whispered to herself.

As Knifey kept running, she bumped into Timothy, who purred. Knifey screamed and stepped back, but Timothy licked her slowly. Woody and Bo came and cried out,

"Knifey!"

"You found me," Knifey says as she realizes,

"But how?"

Woody and Bo explain about Timothy's past that happened with Ike until his abandonment. Knifey felt upset that Timothy was abandoned by his owner because of his new toy bought in the past. She then helped Woody and Bo cheer up Timothy, to make him be a happy toy dragon. Then, after that, Woody and Bo gestured Knifey to Jessie and her gang. They were all happy that Knifey was found.

"Knifey!" Forky cried and ran to her.

"Forky?" Knifey asks, but she was hugged by Forky.

"Knifey, thank goodness we found you!" Forky says,

"Bonnie has been thinking so much about you. She wanted to play with you a lot."

"You guys are right, I belong to Bonnie," Knifey says,

"So I have to get back to her before she comes back tomorrow, which is the last day of her vacation."

Everyone nodded, but she paused everyone,

"Wait, but you should see something."

Knifey revealed a pendant that was labeled To: Jane; From: Mom and Dad, making everyone feel upset.

Woody took the pendant, examined it, and asked,

"How did you find out about this?"

"Well," Knifey says,

"When I was kidnapped by the pirate dolls, one of them told me that their captain Kathleen had an owner. It was a little girl named Jane."


*~(Flashback)~*

At an 8th birthday, Jane unwrapped her present, revealing a pirate doll of Captain Kathleen. Jane was excited as she opened the box, gently took Kathleen out, and placed the pendant around her neck. Days went by as Jane played with Kathleen, having fun on her playtime.

"Jane got Kathleen on her birthday, and she loved her so much," Knifey says,

"Kathleen was special, despite being a pirate doll. She and Jane did everything together, more in love."

Jane took Kathleen to the park while riding in a car, and also played with her in the playground.

"One day, they all go to the park for a playtime," Knifey continues,

"And when hours pass by, Jane went back home, but never came back to Kathleen."

Jane came home, tired, driven in a car by her parents back home. Alive, Kathleen got up and stared, but looked at the pendant worn around her neck, and walked out to find her owner.

"But Kathleen shouldn't give up," Knifey continues on again,

"Then, when she made it back to Jane's house, Kathleen felt that hope was found."

Kathleen spotted Jane's house, she smiled. Then, the pirate doll ran quickly there, and climbed up on a window. But when she got there, Jane was not there.

"But by then, since Jane was never seen again, it was too late," Knifey says once again.

Kathleen felt tears streaming down, climbed down from Jane's house, looked at the pendant once again, tore it off from her neck, threw it, and ran away, as if Kathleen thought Jane never loved her.


*~(End of Flashback)~*

"So this is how it all happened," Knifey says.

"Oh," Bo says sadly,

"But Jane loved Kathleen so much. She just lost her."

"Yes," Knifey says,

"That is until she found the other abandoned pirate dolls and took over her gang and rigged the whole system."

Woody placed a hand on Knifey as he kneeled down and says,

"So that's how Kathleen became evil."

Knifey nodded and replied,

"That's what one of her pirate gang members told me until I escaped from them."

"That's—" Forky stammered,

"That was really dramatic.

The toys felt upset, not believing that Kathleen was abandoned by Jane.

"I think we should forget it," Woody says.

"What?!" Knifey insists,

"But, Woody, it's serious!"

"I don't know Kathleen," Woody replies.

"Woody!" Bo cuts off,

"Knifey is right. Kathleen may think she was never loved, but her owner just moved on, but NEVER forgot about her."

"Bo," Woody cuts off back,

"We haven't seen Kathleen and we never will!"

"Woody, enough!" Buzz shot back.

Woody turned in confusion.

"What, Buzz?" he asked,

"What does this have to do?"

"We may not know Kathleen, but we have to find out what she's about to be up to."

"Yeah, trust us on that, Woodster!" Hamm added,

"What's important now is that we stick together."

"Please," Rex agrees,

"Will you do this one favor for us or just blame yourself for this mistake?"

Woody was about to be angry, but he sighed sadly.

"You're right," the cowboy doll told everyone,

"I'm sorry. I just— I really don't know what was going on with Kathleen, whatsoever."

Bo smiled and placed a hand on Woody. Then, she reassured Timothy who growled a bit to Woody for disagreeing until he calmed down. Timothy took a deep breath and grinned a bit.

"Now we're all gonna go home to Bonnie and everything will turn out okay for her when she comes back from her vacation," Forky says to everyone with confidence.

The toys all nodded in unison.

"Well, the second day is over. Tomorrow we'll get back to Bonnie," Jessie told her gang after looking at the sky, which can be told that it was nighttime,

"Let's hit the sack in the playground."

The toys nodded, and got situated in the playground to sleep, since Bonnie will come back home tomorrow night. Meanwhile, in the bushes, the pirate dolls were ready to make their spying on the toys, which Kathleen told them should be Woody and Bo instead of Knifey.

"There they are," Brenton whispered to his pirate gang as he pointed at its direction.

"Get those toys."

Kathleen smiled evilly as she watched her gang go spying and did turn the the random person packing everything in the car. Kathleen then snickered with a smirk, as if she will have the chance to go to the display with her gang and the spied toys in a foreign country.


The next day…

The sun was shining at dusk. It shone on the playground where the toys were asleep.

Woody and Bo were cuddling each other in their sleep beside Timothy who was sound asleep with a gruff breath coming out of his nostrils. One of his dragon wings were covering the two like a blanket; Forky and Knifey were asleep next to them as well; Mr. Pricklepants, Buttercup, Trixie, and Dolly slept together on the other hand.

Slinky, Rex, and Hamm were all asleep as well; however, Slinky was snoring and muttering 'Golly Bob Howdy' each time one by one in his sleep while Rex was shuddering and even whimpering a bit in his sleep, as if he was having a nightmare. Hamm tiredly stirred, moaned in his sleep, and placed a hoof on Rex, calming him back to sleep. Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads slept with the green aliens in a cuddle. And finally, Buzz slept with Jessie and Bullseye, who were asleep as well. Bullseye slept deeply with rumbling snores between his whinnies coming out of his breath, and Jessie was cuddling her horse by the side, with his hoof laid around her neck.

Moments later, the rooster's crowing can be heard in the morning, causing the toys to wake up due to a fresh start. Then, they all have planned to go back to Bonnie after noticing the sky very dusky.

Bo motioned Woody for a medallion to give to Timothy, and Woody nodded.

"Buzz, can you do something?" Woody whispered,

"It's for Timothy."

"Of course," Buzz replies and helps Woody in making something for Timothy.

Once they finished its touch, they gave it to Bo.

Bo held the medallion that was split- a sheriff star on the right, but a rocket on the left, as a creation- and soothed Timothy,

"Lean, dear."

Timothy nodded, leaned his neck, and let Bo place a medallion around his neck. Timothy lifted his neck, looked at his medallion, and purred cutely.

"Aww!" the toys say in unison.

"Quite the charmer," Hamm says in awe.

"Golly Bob Howdy," Slinky says to Timothy,

"Welcome to the team!"

The other toys agreed and admired Timothy who felt awed at the same time.
