Enjoy!
Forky looked all around. Ever since they made it to the carnival, the two have been trying to find the three and, hopefully, the others that they left behind. Forky was talking about Woody all the way to the mysterious place. The walk reminded him of his time with the cowboy after the spork jumped out of the moving RV. When he saw the carnival, he had all hope.
"Do you think Jessie, Bullseye and Sarah are here?" Karen asked as she looked up at the people, the two bouncing behind a garbage can.
"Don't know," Forky glanced around," But if they are, they have to be-ooo! Cotton Candy."
As the two went bouncing near the machine, the toy crew was giving toys away. After their fifth toy, Bo noticed how quiet they had been. When she looked around here, she froze, scaring the cowboy who immediately asked what was wrong.
"Where's Duke and Jessie?"
"Huh," the cowboy looked around," I thought I saw them at-oh no."
Sarah and Giggle glanced to each other in fear. Their friends were missing and they had yet to notice? Bo assigned her sheep, Bunny, Ducky and Giggle to throw the toys while the three were on the run. They opened the door and hopped down the stairs. They ran, avoiding people as they jumped around. They were worried for their friends and what kind of danger they could be in. As the group ran, Woody heard a tiny voice call his name. The cowboy turned and Forky jumped right into his arms. Woody smiled as he saw his old friend.
"Forky! Karen!" Sarah gasped," You guys made it here!"
"We just followed the tire tracks," Forky looked at Woody," Have you lost weight?"
"Why are you guys running?" Karen questioned.
"Jessie's been taken," Sarah said, earning a gasp," And we need to find her and their friend Duke."
"We'll help!" Forky got out of Woody's arms.
The crew continued their journey, Sarah finding Jessie's hat and Duke's motorcycle. Those were the two things the toys would never be seen without. The doll looked to Bo, both having an idea as to what happened. Woody knelt down on the ground where the items were found. Tiny pawprints. He picked up some of the dirt and sniffed it, the others confused. His eyes went wide, then a scowl came to his face.
"Strawberry," he grumbled, stood up and looked to the others," Come on!"
The group followed the tracks, Bo holding Jessie's hat and Sarah riding the motorcycle (though she was clearly having trouble). The noise grew louder and louder, and the crew stopped as they went under a toy game. Woody realized what Lotso had done. This was a game for messy toddlers and grabby kids. Bo and Woody looked to each other, cringing at all the times they went to this game.
"We just have to find Jessie and Duke and we can get out of here," Woody said," Are you guys with me?"
Everyone nodded and they went into the game. Luckily, the operator was outside of the game, bored with his job. When they got in, they saw a few toys next to Lotso. He looked over to Woody and gave an evil smile. The other toys had Jessie and Duke held down, ready to be given away as prizes.
"Hello Woody," Lotso grumbled, walking towards him," Haven't seen you in forever."
"Let them go, Lotso," Woody grumbled.
"Oh, now that wouldn't be fair. We've got kids waiting for prizes and we can't give them nothin'. We have to do what's best for the children. Isn't that right, everyone?"
While they were talking, Bo inched her way towards the motorcycle. She climbed on the back with only Sarah noticing. She bent down to the hero.
"When I raise my hook," she whispered," Drive straight."
"Oh...okay?" Sarah said.
Once Bo raised her hook, the doll drove. Lotso watched as Bo swept the hook under his feet, causing the bear to fall. The other little toys screamed in fear as Jessie jumped and grabbed the end of the hook. They went to go back around to save Duke, but, in a flash, he was thrown up on the counter, at the hands of a little boy. Sarah gasped, her immediate action to drive out of the game. The others followed, with Lotso and the other unclaimed prizes wondering if they should go. With their decision, they slowly filed out.
"Can you see him?" Bo asked as they drove, trying not to be seen.
"Not at all," Sarah said as they went back to their game.
Immediately, Bullseye perked up and ran to Jessie. The cowgirl threw her hat back on and hugged her horse companion. They were so thrilled to be reunited once more! The others drifted away from their prizes and ran to the group.
"What happened?" Giggle asked as all of the toys made their return," You found Jessie! Where's Duke?"
"He's been taken," Bo said, earning a gasp from everyone as she hopped off of the bike.
"Ah, this is bad, real bad!" Bunny said, with his friend in total agreement.
"What are we gonna do?" Jessie asked.
Sarah pondered for a second. She looked back at the cape she wore, remembering how much it meant to be a hero. How she knew her duty was to never give up. She got in front of her friends, standing on top of the motorcycle.
"As a hero," she said," our duty has been to never give up. To never leave a member behind, and to never let our friends down. Which is why I say we go looking for Duke."
"But the carnival's leaving tomorrow," Giggle mentioned," How are you guys gonna find him if you leave?"
"Don't worry," Bo reassured," We'll be back in time."
With that, her, Woody, Jessie and Sarah (along with Duke's motorcycle) were off in the skunk. Bo was keeping a close eye out for their companion. They spotted the little boy that was carrying him and drove further. Unfortunately, he and his family were leaving, going up to their parked truck and getting ready to leave. They wasted no time in ditching the skunk mobile and followed suit. They hitched onto the truck and climbed into the bed, not knowing what followed them.
