Rosetta sat on the window ledge, looking out at the yard for any sign of her father or Owen. They had been gone for awhile and she was beginning to worry. She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see Buzz standing behind her.
"Hey Rosie Posie." He said as he sat down beside her. Rosetta laughed at her uncle's nickname for her.
"Hey uncle Buzz." She said.
"Are you alright, sweetie?"
"Dad and Owen have been gone for awhile. I hope dad isn't being too hard on him." Buzz chuckled.
"If I know your father, and I do, he's just making sure Owen is good enough for you. Your father loves you very much, Rosie, he just wants what's best for you."
"I know he does." She sighed and then turned to face him. "You like Owen, don't you Uncle?"
"Of course I do. I think he's a fine young man for you. But just like your father, I worry about you as well. I just want to make sure you're happy, sweetheart."
"I am happy. In fact, I think I may be falling in love with him. But how will I know for sure?"
"Oh you'll know, trust me. When it happens, it will feel like the most wonderful feeling in the world. You may feel dizzy at first, nauseous even, but then you'll feel light as a feather."
"Does Aunt Jessie make you feel that way?"
"Yes, yes she does. Every single day." Rose smiled and hugged him. "Come on, let's go see what she's up to." Buzz went back into the room and Rosetta turned to follow him, but looked back at the walkway. Jack was walking towards the house, but it looked like he was struggling. Immediately she knew something was wrong. Squinting, she gasped when she saw her father leaning on the pirate, wincing in pain.
"Dad? Daddy!" She yelled. "Uncle Buzz, come quick!" Buzz came back to the window just as the little girl had slid down the drainpipe.
"Rose? Rose, get back..." Buzz looked to where she was running and gasped when he saw his best friend limping. "Woody!" The space ranger jumped out the window after the little girl.
"There you are, sheriff. Home sweet home." Jack said, helping him lean up against the fence.
"Dad." Jack turned and saw Rosetta running towards them.
"Little lass, hold on..." He said, trying to stop her, but she whizzed past him and hugged onto her father. Woody held her close. When she pulled away, she looked in terror at the small slashes along his body. His arm was hanging by a thread and his left foot was slashed open. Soon Buzz was at her side, gasping when he saw how beat up the sheriff was.
"Woody. Talk to me, what happened to you?" The cowboy moved from his daughter's grasp and stood up straight, but he held his chest and was breathing really fast.
"Owen...betrayed... me. Pete...he...he's back. He, a, attacked. " Woody said. He swayed and fell to the ground, passing out from exhaustion.
"Woody!" Jack and Buzz screamed.
"No." Rosetta sighed, one hand covering her mouth. Buzz went over and carefully slid his hands under the folds of Woody's back and picked him up.
"I got you, cowboy, just hold on." He then rushed across the yard back to the bedroom window. Rosetta turned to Jack.
"Jack, it can't be true. Tell me it's not true!" She said, gripping his arm. The pirate captain wrapped an arm around her.
"Come along, lassie. Jack said. I'll explain everything." Taking her hand, the two toys walked back to the bedroom.
