Weeks turned into months and the unknown toy who had first spotted the sheriff and his family continued to watch him, waiting for the first moment to strike. One Sunday afternoon, he watched from a tree as the Sheriff was talking with who the toy figured was his wife.

"Just you wait, Woody, I'm going to get you when you least expect it. No doubt about that." The toy said. He moved his binoculars to the left and saw Woody's daughter sitting outside with a male doll. Looking closer, the toy gasped.

"Owen?" Then he smiled. "Well this just got slightly more interesting." The toy crawled down the tree and into the bushes.

Much to Woody's displeasure, Owen and Rosetta began to spend a lot of time together. Bonnie, Mark and Isabella had become friends, so they would spend time at each other's houses constantly. They also attended the same day camp. One day, while Bonnie was at camp, Owen was in the garden with Rosetta, serenading her.

What makes you different (alright) makes you beautiful (alright)
What's there inside you (alright) shines through to me
In your eyes I see, all the love I'll ever need
You're all I need, oh girl
What makes you different, makes you beautiful to me
Owen finished singing and Rosetta applauded.

"Owen, that was simply wonderful. She said. You have an amazing voice."

"Why thank you, little darling. Owen said, sitting beside her. It brings me such joy that I can entertain such a beauty."

"Oh please, I'm not that beautiful."

"Are you kidding? Why you are the most beautiful girl I've ever met. I know it's only been a few weeks since we moved here, but I have loved getting to know you."

"So have I. You're very easy to talk to, Owen, kind of like my dad, though nowadays he and I are kind of distant."

"From what I've seen, I can tell that your father loves you very much."

"Oh he does, though sometimes he still treats me like a little girl. I mean, I am, but I don't act like it. I'm much more mature now then I was when he first adopted me. I just wish he could see that."

"He probably does, it just might take him a while for it to really sink in."

"I suppose you're right." He smiled and took her hand.

"Rose, I would like to go out with you and take you on a proper date if I may, but I want to ask your father first. I get the feeling he doesn't like me."

"Oh it's not you. My dad has a bit of a trust issue around new toys. Hey, I can be there when you ask him, make it a bit more comfortable. Come on, let's go ask him now." She took his hand and they started walking back into the house. In Bonnie's room, Woody was pacing back and forth on the bed fuming as Bo sat against the pillow, reading.

"How are you okay with this?" He yelled.

"Yell as much as you want, Woody but it's not going to change the fact that your daughter's in love." Bo said, not looking up from her book.

"She is too young to fall in love! God she doesn't even know what love is!"

"She's a smart girl, honey. She'll figure it out, but you need to let her do it her way. Owen doesn't seem like a bad guy. In fact, he's actually a really nice young man. He's kind, compassionate, easy on the eyes, not a bad singer, and he's only two years older than her. I think he'd be the perfect guy for Rose. Besides, I seem to recall two toys who were really young when they first fell in love." Woody turned to face her.

"Hey, you cannot compare our love story to this. Times were different then. We at least knew what love was about. Rose, she, she is way to young to even consider crushes and first loves and romance." He rubbed his forehead and sighed. "Ugh, I should have seen this coming. I mean, I did assume this would happen, but I didn't expect it to happen."

"What's the worst that can happen, honey? It's not like she's going to leave us."

"That's what scares me the most, Bo. I worry everyday something or someone is going to take her away from us again. I almost lost her at Rainbow Hill, I lost you once, I can't be that close to losing either of you again." Bo closed her book, walked over to her husband and took his hands in hers.

"Woody, that was two years ago. Bonnie is not getting rid of me or Rosetta anytime soon. We are not going anywhere, I promise you that. Oh honey, I'm just as scared to lose our daughter as you are, but she's a young lady. Don't you want her to experience all the good things that life can offer her? Things like making friends, exploring the unknown, falling in love and having a timeless, romantic relationship like her parents?' She ran a hand along his cheek. He sighed and placed his hand over hers.

"Yes, of course I do. I want all of that for her and so much more. God, why am I such an over-bearing parent?"

"I wouldn't say over-bearing. More like over-protective, but that's because you have a daughter who's just as stubborn if not level-headed as you are." He playfully nudged her.

"I love you." Woody said, kissing her. Just then, Owen and Rosetta climbed up onto the dresser.

"Hi mom, hi daddy." Rosetta said, kissing her mother and hugging her father.

"Hello sweetheart, Owen." Bo said.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Pride. Mr. Pride, may I have a word with you?" Owen asked.

"Sure, what can I do for you, Owen?"

"Well sir, I have been getting to know your daughter for the last two months now and I would like to ask your permission to go out with her."

"I appreciate you coming to me, Owen. That's very forward of you, but you should know that there are some things we need to discuss, such as what your exact intentions are with my daughter?"

"My intentions are simple, Mr. Pride. I like Rosetta, a lot. I would like to pursue a relationship with her. I know you have not known me for long, but know that I would never let any harm come to her. When I lived with my last owner, I was their leader. I made sure nothing bad happened to those toys, even when one toy tried to pin everyone against me. Now as Jack's second in command, I make it my soul purpose to make sure everyone listens to Jack and assure them that he's doing the right thing, kind of like Mr. Lightyear does for you." Both Rosetta and Bo smiled. Even Woody smiled a bit.

"Okay Owen, you can date Rosetta, but she does have a curfew, so if you go out, she needs to be home by nine thirty."

"Dad." Rosetta whined.

"Alright, fine. Ten o'clock, but not a minute later." He extended his hand and shook Owen's. Rosetta kissed her father on the cheek.

"Thank you, daddy."

"Yes, thank you, sir. I should be getting back to Mark's room. Till we meet again, my darling rose." He kissed her hand and exited out the window to walk back home. He was almost to Mark's window when someone grabbed him and pushed him against the side of the house. Looking up, Owen gasped at the face of the toy who grabbed him.

"Prospector Pete?"

*Sorry Impressionsguy! I couldn't have Wheezy be the villain! He's too cute!*
