*Two more chapters!*

Dolly ran to the window with Buttercup, Trixie, and Prickle Pants.

"What the heck?" Trixie said. Two go carts were racing up the sidewalk with Buzz, Jessie, Owen, and Jack in one, and Rex, Hamm, Slinky and Potato Head in the other.

"There she is, mates. Homeward ho!" Jack yelled.

"Whoo! Go Buzz, we're almost there!" Jessie cried.

"What in the world are they doing?" Buttercup asked.

"Who cares? It's getting them home faster! Get the jump rope!" Dolly said. Soon the two carts drove onto the grass outside Bonnie's room. Pricklepants lowered the jump rope down to Buzz, who climbed up.

"You're cutting it really close, you know? Please tell me you've got it."

"We've got it!" Slinky said, coming into the room, the flower held between his teeth.

"Yes! I'll get started with the seeds. Go to Woody. He needs you." Buzz, Jessie and Owen nodded and jumped over onto the bed.

"Owen!" Rosetta sighed, hugging him. He held her tight. Bo rushed into Jessie's open arms.

"Thank goodness your back. She said. We were beginning to worry."

"It took longer than we thought, but we got it. Jessie said, beaming. How is he?"

"Not good. He's fading fast." Buzz looked at his friend and kneeled beside him.

"Hey sheriff, we're back." He said softly. Woody stirred and just barley opened his eyes.

"Bu, Buzz. You, you ma, made it." The cowboy whispered.

"I told you I would, buddy. Just hang on a little bit longer."

"I, I do, don't think, I can. It's getting hard, harder to st, stay awake." He took a breath, struggling. "I, I want to, thank you, for being the best friend I, I've ever had."

"When did he start saying his goodbyes?" Owen whispered to Rosetta.

"About an hour ago." She whispered back. Buzz placed a hand on Woody's shoulder.

"You are too, cowboy. No goodbyes yet, you hear me? Not yet."

"O, okay, ah!" All of a sudden, he began to gasp, but no words were coming out.

"What's happening?" Bo asked.

"I think he lost his voice." Hamm said.

"Dolly!" Buzz called. She sprang onto the bed with a tiny bowl in her hands.

"It's okay, it was bound to happen eventually. She said. He can still hear, right?' Woody nodded. "Good, okay when I tell you to, open your mouth. Blink once if you understand." He blinked. "Okay, ready? Open up." The cowboy opened his mouth and Dolly poured in the little amount of ground up seeds in. "Alright, close and swallow once." He did as he was told and almost instantly, his head fell to the side and he passed out.

"Dad?" Rose asked.

"Woody? Buzz said, shaking him. Dolly what happened?"

"It's okay! Remember what I said. Once the dust is administered, it will put him into a comatose state."

"Well how long will it take to work?" Rex asked.

"If it works." Potato Head whispered to Hamm.

"I'm not sure. Dolly said. It may take hours, or it may take days. In the meantime, we'll make him comfortable. We'll have to hide him from Bonnie cause she'll be back tomorrow. I'll monitor him, the rest of you, get some sleep." Buzz and Jack helped move Woody to makeshift bed in the corner of the closet and then Jack and Owen took their leave. Soon, the family found spots around the room and fell asleep for the night.

*Shorter than the others, but the last two will be longer! Till then, partners!*
