Under the bare cherry tree, Andy flew Buzz above his head. "Pow!" He pushed the button for his laser. "'Take that, King Reptilian of Planet Tyrannosaurs 3!'"
Maxie was holding Rex. "I thought it was Planet Raptor 3."
"I like Tyrannosaurs better," said Andy. "He is a T-Rex after all."
"Good point." She placed Woody and Jessie on Bullseye. "'Quick Buzz! We've got to save the Princess before she's devoured by the other Dino-liens!'"
Andy put Buzz behind them and started to sing. "Duh dum da da duh dum dum da da DUH DA dum dum dum!"
"So your Mom's going out?" asked Maxie.
"No," he answered, making the horse gallop toward the tree. Bo was standing there, patiently waiting to be rescued. "She couldn't find a babysitter so she's just not going to go her boss's retirement party."
"Well, why don't you and Molly come over to my house?" she suggested. "We're having vegetarian tacos."
"Vegetarian tacos?" Andy asked, then he smiled in understanding. "Fauna," they said together.
Maxie stood up. "Let's go in and call her before it starts pouring."
"Ok." Andy grabbed the toys. All except one.
Woody watched Bo grow farther and farther away as his owner carried him toward the house. No, go back! It's going to rain!
Andy shut the screen door. Don't leave her out there! Woody's heart sank in despair as the clouds broke. Oh of all the days for it to storm!

Woody watched from the couch where he'd been placed with the other toys. Andy hung up the phone and gave Maxie thumbs up. "She's going to drop off Molly from daycare at your house and then go to the party!"
Maxie jumped up from the couch. "Awesome Possum!" She cheered. "Let's go! But we better run fast!"
The two friends grabbed their coats and headed out to the hallway. "Does your Mom have cocoa?" The toys heard Andy ask.
As soon as the door slammed, Woody jumped up and hopped off the couch. He sped to the screen door. Thanks to the storm Andy had had problems getting through to the office and it'd been almost half an hour since the rain started.
As Woody pulled open the unlocked door, Buzz was on his heels. "Woody, you can't go out in the rain!"
"I can't leave her there, Buzz!"
"But your voice box! It might get damaged! At least get a towel or a blanket to cover yourself!"
Woody ignored him. Holding onto his hat, he darted out the door and into the storm.
