Enjoy!
"Hold still," Bo warned," You two are acting like such big babies."
"Try getting sewn up again," Ducky scolded as he threw his head back," This is the worst day of my life!"
Bo rolled her eyes as she pulled the needle through. The two had never been separated and it was making them crazy. Giggle was doing her best to distract them, but the plush toys were total drama queens. They kept crying about how they would never be the same and they were forced to live a life of loneliness and pain.
"You're still my brother, Bunny," Ducky sobbed," I still love you!"
"Oh, will you two stop it?" Giggle hopped up.
"Have you ever been separated? No? Then YOU stop!"
As they let out a final cry, the two were finally attached. The crying and moaning stopped as Bunny picked up Ducky. They pulled each other into a hug and cried aloud. The two of them were so overjoyed as they thanked Bo for her help. As they went off to enjoy the end of their separation. Sarah was watching the moon outside of the door and feeling the tear in her cape. Jessie was looking up at her, with Duke driving over to the cowgirl.
"What's going on?" he asked," Is the hero okay?"
"She tore her cape and I think it's more than that that's upsetting her," Jessie said," I was going to give her time, but I'm going to talk to her."
"I'll talk to her," Duke decided.
He drove over to her, but he didn't startle her. They both looked up but they remained silent. He was going to let her be the first one to speak. Finally, she spoke up.
"The cape was Bonnie's favorite part about my toy," she admitted," When she first got me, she would rub her cheek against my cape and snuggle up to me at night. I loved every minute of time with her...I know she had to grow up and get rid of us, but I feel like it all happened so fast. I miss Bonnie…I've been asking myself what any of us did wrong..."
Duke looked down at his feet. What was he to say to her? What was he to do? He knew how it felt to be thrown but what comforted him may not have worked for her. Quickly he took off his own cape and handed it to her.
"It's just until your cape gets fixed," he said," I insist. And, you did nothing wrong, none of you did. That, unfortunately, is the life of a toy. I had a kid once."
"You did?"
"Oh, sure! His name was Rejean and he got me on Boxing Day. He was so excited to get me...but when he realized I couldn't jump like I could in the commercials...they're just commercials!"
"Oh...how did you deal with the rejection?"
"I didn't, at first. Sure, it took me some time to get over it, but I realized that I have worth. I have a reason to be here. I realized that I Can-ada!"
Sarah smiled at her idol's words. She felt as though she was being silly, but being away from her kid was harder than anything. Duke was helping the best way he knew how. And, if the hero was honest, she needed it.
"Thank you, Duke," she got up," Come on, we've had a long day."
As she walked back over to the crowd, Duke smiled over at her. He went to turn his motorcycle around when he heard a mysterious noise. He looked out the door and peered around, not seeing anything. However, the stuntman bravely drove out the door and onto the grass. Whatever was lurking around was not going to get a chance to come in. Jessie noticed the toy outside.
"What are you looking for?"
"I hear something," he said.
She looked back at the group, then quickly caught up to Duke. They looked around the area and couldn't see anything. Duke quietly rode in the grass and he saw a small fish toy looking him in the eye.
"There's a toy over there," Duke pointed.
"Are you lost?" Jessie asked, inching forward," It's okay. My friends and I can find you a new home. We-"
A bunch of toys surrounded him immediately. On his motorcycle, Duke tried to find a way out. Unfortunately, nothing would work. Lotso approached the two and hugged them from behind.
"Hello there," the bear said," Welcome to our little family."
When the little girl was asleep, Dolly in her arms, the crew hopped up, wide awake. Buzz knew that they had to get out before the sun rose. The dolls were up to, wondering where the toys were going.
"Why are you leaving?" Sandy asked.
"We have to get our friends back," Buzz explained," I'm sorry, ladies, but there's toys out there that we need to see again."
"Sorry we couldn't be anymore help!" Chelsea said.
Most of the toys were out the door, but the Aliens were asleep on the floor and Dolly was in the little girl's arms. The spaceman went over and asked her if she needed any help. The doll looked up at the sleeping girl, then back at the toys who were looking up at her. They knew that she was happier here. That traveling may have been too much on her and she just needed one owner. Buzz nodded at her.
"Good luck, you guys," she said softly," I'm never gonna forget what we did together."
The toys went down the stairs, through the window like they did before. What were they to do now? Where were they to go?
"Well," Trixie said," when I was researching this house, I found out that the carnival's in town."
"Woody!" Buzz exclaimed," He can help us find them."
"Hey!" Rex mentioned,"Look!"
Buzz looked in the street and jumped to see a yellow piece of yarn. Karen's hair. He knew the two had to be following the tire tracks. The crew ran forward and walked onward.
