*Hey guys, last chapter for this one. Thank you so much for all the support and love on this story. It means so much!*
Jessie lowered the letter, her eyes filled with light.
"He's okay." She sighed.
"Well of course he is. Potato Head mocked. He's living the retired life. Must be nice." The Mrs hit him.
"He's also living out his new purpose, spud head. Slinky said. Finding toys good homes."
"It suits him. Buzz said. Plus, he's got Bo, who I know will take care of him." Jessie smiled at that.
"I'm glad you found these, Slink. Trixie said. It was nice to hear from him, both through the notes and the letter."
"I agree. Though I do miss our cowboy." Prickle Pants said.
"We'll see him again, one day." Buttercup said.
"Hey, Bonnie's home!" The pea pods cried.
"Alright everyone, back to your places!" Jessie cried. They got into positions as Bonnie ran into her room. She played with her toys until she went to sleep. Jessie moved from her new spot beside Bonnie and went to the window. She sat on the edge, looking out at the stars. A hand touched her shoulder and she smiled as Buzz sat beside her.
"Are you okay, sheriff?" He said, making her laugh a little.
"I don't think I'm ever going to get used to people calling me that."
"That makes two of us." They sat for a minute and then Jessie spoke again.
"I'm okay. Actually, I'm relieved. All this time, we've wondered what was going through his head with everything changing, and now that we know, it just gives me a sense of relief." Buzz nodded. "Though I wish he told some of this to us while he was still around."
"So do I, but like he said, he is terrible at letting out his feelings, so I he found another way to tell us. I figure he also didn't want to bother us with all his troubles when he was trying so hard to take care of everyone else. I mean, he did that even when we were still with Andy."
"Some things never change, I guess." She paused and took his hand, lying her head on his shoulder. "We'll see him again one day, right?"
"Oh I know we will. One day." Buzz said. They moved onto another topic and stayed on the window for a few hours before turning back inside and going to sleep. A few hundred miles away, in a little park in South Bend, Indiana, Woody was lying against the banner of the carousel looking up at the night sky. He sighs deeply.
"Something on your mind, cowboy?" Woody looked up and saw Bo looking down at him. He smiled.
"Maybe. Want to take a guess what it is?" He said. She jumped over and lay beside him.
"You miss the others, don't you?"
"I do, a little. Really, I was wondering if they found all the notes I left for them, or if they got that letter I gave to Sarge."
"I'm sure they found them and read all of them, including the letter. Are you happy I suggested it?"
"Yes, I am. They need to know that I'm okay, but more importantly, why I left the notes. It felt like the right thing to do, and the closure we all needed."
"I wouldn't say closure just yet. You'll see them again some day."
"I hope so."
"You will. I'll make sure of it. One day, when we have the chance to go back, we'll visit. Till then, we'll make sure every lost toy we come across gets put with the right owner. You and me, cowboy." He held her close and kissed her forehead.
"You and me, Bo. Now and forever." She smiled and curled up to him. They looked up at the night sky. Woody heard Bo's soft breathing and saw that she was asleep. He turned his eyes up at the stars again. One day, we'll see each other again, one day. He thought before curling up against Bo and fell asleep.
*And that's all there is, there isn't anymore...for now at least. I still have my other two storiesI'm working on. If there is any requests you guys have, PM me. Otherwise, till next time!*
