*Childhood girl: To answer your questions: 1) 'Hero' and 'Strength' are two different stories that don't intertwine with each other. One is The Pride family series, and the other is something completely different. Sorry for the confusion. 2) I will consider the Toy Story Toons, but do you want me to include Bo and Rosetta in them? Because I can do that. 3) I have actually had an extended epilogue of a 'A family reunited' already written so I will redo that chapter of when Bo and the rest of them got to Bonnie's. Thank you for your comments!*

"Did you say goodbye to Molly?" Mom asked.

"Mom, we've said goodbye at least a dozen times." Andy said. They enter the room and mom stops in the doorway. The room is empty. She holds her hands over her mouth, becoming overwhelmed with emotion. Andy placed his hands on her shoulders. "Hey. Mom, it's okay." From the college box, Woody watched as mother and son embraced.

"I wish I could be with you always." Mom said. Andy laughed.

"You will be, mom." Woody turned and glanced down at a photo of Andy, playing with him and the others. His boy's and mom's words echoed in his head and that's when it finally hit him. This isn't what I want. I can't go to college. I belong with the others, with my family. The cowboy thought. Suddenly, he half smiled, all the sadness and uncertainty he had been feeling for the last few weeks stripped away replaced by happiness and determination. He heard Andy and his mom go back into the hallway and bolted out of the box, only to slam into his daughter.

"Ow! Dad? What are you doing out here?" She asked.

"I was watching mom and Andy, listening to their conversation and I realized, Woody began to say. I have watched Andy grow up for seventeen years. I've done my job as his toy by being there for him. But my job as a leader to this family and being a father to you, that job isn't finished, not by a long shot. I want to be there too, Rose. Wherever my family is, I want to be there too." Rose squealed softly and hugged him.

"Oh my god, dad! Really? You're going to stay? Oh, I am so happy you told me, because I have a huge idea. She said. During the time that you and the others thought I was 'dead', I was actually at a little girl's house. Her name is Bonnie and she is amazing, dad. She is every bit as imaginative as Andy, her toys are so nice, and she took such good care of me while I was there." Woody looked at her, fitting the pieces together. "She would take care of us, dad. We would still be together and we would be played with. It's not far from here either. She's literally right around the corner."

"Well then, what are we waiting for? Give me the address." Rosetta smiles and grabs a sticky note pad and pen from the desk. She told him the address and slid back into the box.

"Young lady, explain yourself right..." Jessie began to scold, but stopped when she saw her brother. "Woody? What are you doing? You're supposed to be in the other box."

"Change of plans, auntie J. Dad's coming with us, but we have to hide him." Rosetta said.

"Why do we have to..." Buzz asked.

"We'll explain in a bit, Buzz." Just then they heard mom's voice and heard Andy's footsteps walk into the room.

"Come on, go get the rest of your stuff." Mom said. Andy laughed as he saw the note on top of the box. He opened it and saw all of his toys, including Rosetta.

"Hey! Mom, do you really think I should donate these?" He asked.

"It's up to you, hun. Do whatever you want to do." He picked up Rosetta.

"Hey Mol, your Rosetta doll is in here too."

"Oh you can take her. She belongs to a kid who will take care of her. Molly said. Plus, I think she would rather be with your toys instead of mine. Just a feeling."

"We're getting donated again?!" Rex cried out, panicked.

"This is your big plan, little miss? Do you not remember what happened last time we were donated? Potato Head snapped. Woody sprang up from the bottom of the box.

"Hey, back off Potato Head! He snapped back. Rosetta knows this little girl. She said she will take care of us, and I believe her. And if that isn't good enough for you, you are more than welcome to go up into the attic." Potato Head glared at Woody.

"She's a great kid, Mr. Potato Head. Rosetta said. I swear she is." Potato looked at her. "Cross my heart."

"Ugh, fine, but I'm not convinced until I see it for myself." Rosetta giggled and Woody hid again.

"Hold on, I still don't understand why you're hiding, Woody." Slinky said, confused.

"Andy thinks I'm in the other box, right?"

"Right, so by hiding, he'll have to pull all of us out of the box to find you, Hamm said, see you, and hand you off to this girl with the rest of us, having a sort of revelation."

"Yes, exactly!"

"Good thinking, Woody." Buzz said. Just then the box shifted and was being lifted and taken downstairs. Andy placed them in the front seat of his car and backed out of the driveway. He looked at the address on the post-it note and drove down and around the corner till he found it, a small yellow house with white fencing and a teal van parked in the driveway. He pulled up along the curb, took out the box, and stood in front of the gate. A small voice caught his attention and he saw a young girl playing with her toys.

"Don't go in there, the bakery is haunted!" The girl cried. Andy watched her play and chuckled to himself. Bonnie stood up and moved one of her toys, as if to make it fly. She turned and saw Andy. "Mom?" Her mom looked up and saw Andy.

"Andy? Wow, look at you! I hear you're off to college?" Bonnie's mom said. Andy smiled and let himself into the gate.

"Yeah, right now actually. But I wanted to stop by and drop off some toys of mine."

"Oh, did you hear that Bonnie?" The girl peeked out from behind her mom. Andy put the box down and got down to look at her.

"So you're Bonnie, huh? I'm Andy. Someone told me you're really good with toys. These are mine, but I'm going away now, so I need someone really special to play with them." He pulled the box over and began to take each toy out. This is Jessie - the roughest, toughest cowgirl in the whole West. She loves critters, but none more'n her best pal, Bullseye. Yee-haw! Here." He hands her to Bonnie, and continues with the rest of them. This is Rex - the meanest, most terrifying dinosaur who ever lived. Rawr! The Potato Heads, Mister and Missus. You gotta keep 'em together 'cause they're madly in love. Now Slinky here is as loyal as any dog you could want. But Hamm? He'll keep your money safe but he's also one of the most dastardly villains of all time, evil Dr. Pork Chop! These little dudes are from a strange, alien world, Pizza Planet! And finally, this is Buzz Lightyear, the coolest toy ever. Look, he can fly, and shoot lasers. He's sworn to protect the galaxy from the evil Emperor Zurg!" Bonnie laughed and took Buzz from Andy. She gathered all the toys together in front of her, hugging each one. Andy sighed. "Now you have to promise you'll take good care of these guys. They mean a lot to me." Bonnie stood up and looked in the bottom of the box.

"Hey, there's my pretty doll! And a cowboy two!" Bonnie said. Andy looked in the box and saw Woody and Rosetta. He pulled both out, but looked at Woody.

"Woody? What is he doing in here?" Andy asked.

"The doll is small, like a kid. Is the cowboy her dad?" Andy didn't know what to say at first, but then thought about what Molly had said and smiled.

"Yes, he is. This is Rosetta. Though she may look small, she is strong and mighty, always looking out for others, just like her father." He looked at Woody. "Sheriff Woody. Now he's been my pal as long as I can remember. He's brave, like a cowboy should be. And kind, and smart. But the thing that makes Woody special, is he'll never give up on you, ever. He'll be there for you, no matter what. Do you think you can take care of them for me?" Bonnie nodded and took both Woody and Rosetta, hugging them tight. Andy looked at all of his old toys and smiled. Suddenly he grabbed Hamm. "Oh no, Evil Dr. Pork Chop is attacking the haunted Bakery!"

"The ghosts are getting out!" Bonnie cried.

"Woody will stop them!" Andy yelled. The two grabbed a toy and played together for hours. Finally, as the sun was starting to fade, Andy bid Bonnie goodbye and got into his car. He looked back at the porch and saw all of his toys. The memories he had of them and being able to play with them one last time brought a big smile to his face. In Bonnie's arms were Buzz, Woody, and Rosetta. Andy sighed. "Thanks guys." Then he moved away from the curb. Bonnie's mom came out onto the porch.

"Look mommy, they're playing together." Bonnie said happily. Mom laughed and picked her up.

"Come on sweetie, lunchtime!" They laughed and went into the house. Andy's toys came alive and sat up, watching Andy's car drive off into the distance. They just had their last playtime with their kid and not that it wasn't wonderful, it felt bittersweet with it being the last one. It hit Woody the hardest, and he was glad that he couldn't cry because if he did, tears would be streaming down his face right about now. But he knew this was for the best. Andy needed to go to college and he needed to be with his family. He looked at the car once again and sighed.

"So long, partner." He said softly. Buzz shook his shoulder and Rosetta gripped his hand.

"Dad, let me introduce you to everyone. You're going to love them." Rosetta said. They all stood up as she went to each person, greeting one another as the clouds passed by.

*Sorry I've been distracted and haven't been posting. I'll have an epilogue up for this as soon as I can. I have other stories after this one that I'm planning including a follow up to 'The point of no return' where Buzz and the others go with their vow they made to Woody and Bo to join up together once Bonnie goes off to college. And childhood girl, I added in the epilogue redo for 'family reunited'. Till next time, be well and be safe!*
