2:
Buzz and Jessie sat in front of the TV watching a special. They were holding hands as they stared at the screen.
"Merry Christmas Billy! Ho ho ho!"
The little boy on the screen rubbed his eyes. "Oh boy! Santa Claus!"
"Wait a minute, I'm confused," said Buzz. "How does Casper know Billy's name? It's not like they've been introduced! He just came down the chimney!"
Behind them, Woody was struggling to carry the Christmas lights. They were in a messy jumble and the Cowboy kept tripping over the cord. "Hey guys, I could use some help!"
Buzz waved him off. "In a minute. Just wait until this short is over."
"But after that we've gotta watch Rudolph!" Jessie reminded him. "And then The Year without a Santa Claus! And then Santa Claus is Comin' to Town!" She shouted in a German accent, "BURGERMEISTER MEISTERBURGER!" Buzz grinned.
"C'mon! It's going to take me forever to unknot these!" Woody protested. "Can't you untangle them in front of the television?"
"Nah…" said Buzz and Jessie together, not taking their eyes off Casper.
Woody growled. "Ok that does it!" He dropped the lights and stepped on the remote power button.
"AHHH! A G-G-GHOST…" The screen went black.
"Hey!" Buzz and Jessie cried. They turned around.
"What's wrong with you? Turn it back on!"
Jessie shook her fist. "How you'd like a flat lip with a bow on it for Christmas?"
Woody had his hands jammed on his hips. "Look you two, I've been working my butt off for weeks trying to plan this party for you guys! You and everyone else! The least you could do is cut out a few paper angels or untangle the lights!"
Jessie stood up and gave him a couple punches on the shoulder. "Look Mr. Grinch, maybe you want to spend your Christmas workin', but we're tryin' to enjoy the season!"
Buzz pulled her back as Woody rubbed his arm. "Jessie…"
Jessie glared and pointed. "You know what you need? Three spirits to remind you what Christmas is all about!"
Woody crossed his arms as he scoffed. "Oh and I suppose I'm going to fall into a deep sleep and have a dream where three of my friends visit me as the Ghosts of Past, Present, and Future and then I'll wake up redeemed and all full of Christmas Spirit?"
Buzz frowned. "You know, a little Christmas Spirit wouldn't kill you."
"Well in the words of Ebenezer Scrooge," said Woody, bending down and picking up the lights. "Bah! Humbug! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to spend the next two hours undoing every little knot in this string. Thanks for nothing!"
Jessie stuck out her tongue and blew a raspberry as he stalked away. Buzz looked a little guilty. "You know, maybe we should've helped."
"Yeah…" Jessie said quietly. They were silent for a moment before Jessie looked up. "Rudolph?"
"Ok."
