10: A few days later

The sky was turning orange as the sun peeked over the lake. The water was a shimmering black that stared to turn blue as the first light hit the still surface.

On the dock, Woody blinked. He was curled up underneath the patchwork blanket. Andy and his family wouldn't be up for a couple hours.

Beside him under the blanket, Bo's eyes were closed and her breathing was slow and even. She was smiling in her sleep.

Woody kissed her cheek, then closed his eyes to catch a few more Z's…

The camping trip was over. As the family loaded up the van, the toys sat in the bedroom, near Andy's bed as they played cards.

"So, are you guys leaving soon too?" Woody asked Barb, who was sitting next to Punjab.

"No, we're staying for three more days," She answered, taking a card. It was a four of clubs and she set it on the discard pile.

Jessie cheered and grabbed the four. In front of her, there were three rows of three. Two of the cards in the last row were fours. Underneath them was an eight of diamonds. Quickly, Jessie scrapped the eight and replaced it with the four. She grabbed the three cards and put them in the discard pile along with the eight. "Yee-haw! I just cleared twenty points!"

"Yeah, but you still have to clear that King!" Hamm pointed out.

"Rats."

Downstairs, Mom's voice could be heard. "Andy! Molly! We're going! Grab your stuff!"

Woody stood. "Looks like we're about ready to leave."

"Yep," Barb stood. "It was great seeing you again, Woody."

"You too." Woody stuck out his hand for a shake, but instead, Barbara grabbed him and gave him a hug.

Looking over her shoulder, he saw Bo and Punjab. They were smiling at the two old friends. Woody patted her back, then went to Bo, who stood on her toes and kissed his cheek. Barbara smiled and cuddled under Punjab's arm.

There was a sniff. They turned to look at Jessie, who was still sitting on the floor next to Buzz. "You guys are so cute!" She sniffled. "It makes me want to, I dunno, hug something!" She looked at Buzz. "You'll do!" She tackled him to the ground.

Footfall pounded up the stairs. It was time to go home.

Andy put his toy bag in the car. He turned and exchanged scraps of paper with Elsie. "Ok, make sure your Mom calls my Mom," he said. "And we can get together for Labor Day!"

"Great!" She looked at Maxie, who was putting a pillow on the seat of the van. "Of course, Maxie will have to be with us!"

Maxie grinned. She jumped out of the van and hugged Elsie.

"Thanks again, Elsie." She whispered.

"You're welcome."

Half an hour later, the van was well on its way. Music played from the radio.

Maxie's eyes were closed and she was resting her head on Andy's shoulder. He looked embarrassed. "Uh, Mom…"

Mom looked in the rearview mirror and smiled. "Shh! Let her sleep!"

Maxie opened an eye, then quickly closed it and stifled a smile. No way was she going to let them know she wasn't really asleep…

The bag under them was completely zipped up. Inside, Woody had his arm around Bo's waist as she rested against him. It had been a fun vacation, mostly, but it was good to be going home.
