Chapter Two
Over the next week, Jessie grappled with her mind over two things that increasingly bothered her. The first, was her relationship with Buzz. She liked him, and she knew she did, but something was wrong and she just couldn't help but feel it had something to do with Woody. He had saved her all those nights ago from going to Japan, and yes, they were good pals, but she had a nagging feeling that she wanted something more from him. On top of that, it was near impossible for Jessie to be around Bo anymore. It just didn't sit right with her at all. Now, the second thing that had been bothering Jessie for the past week. That voice. Someone or something had called out to her. Even the voice itself, why was it so familiar, and distant at the very same time? As these thoughts battled to gain control over Jessie's mind once again, she was jolted by the sudden surprise of being dropped to the floor.
Looking over slowly, she caught a glimpse of Molly, who had been playing dress-up with Jessie and Barbie, as she ran out of Andy's room and into the hall. Standing up, Jessie dusted off her cow-print chaps and began to re-braid her red hair for when Andy came home later that day.
"Are you alright Jes?" She heard Barbie ask as she too straightened herself out. Jessie finished the first-braid and held the end of it while she began to search for the yellow ribbons she used to hold it in place.
"Yea, I'm fine Barbie. Just been thinkin' is all." Jessie responded as she tried to shake her mind off of those thoughts. Finding one of her ribbons, she tied off the end of her braid and began to form the second one on the other side.
"Here, let me." Barbie said as she walked over and took the strands of dark burgundy hair from her. "Now, Jessie. You know we both know that something's been up. Now spill before I put a pink dress on the floor next to you. Molly wouldn't resist."
"Cute Bar, but I know if I told you, you'd think I was crazy as a slack-jawed mule in the middle of a corn field."
"Aw, I'm sure it's not that bad. Besides, whatever secret you've got can't compare to what Buzz told me." Barbie said, finishing up the braid and tying the ends of it in a bow of yellow ribbon. Turning around to face her, Jessie ushered Barbie to their secret place under the bed that only they, and Woody, knew about. It was the perfect place for telling secrets.
Once they were safely inside and knew that no one could hear them or see them, did Jessie dare ask what Buzz had told Barbie.
"Well, I probably shouldn't..." Barbie hesitated, "But then again, you're going to find out anyways I guess..."
"C'mon Bar! Spill it!" Jessie laughed as she pushed Barbie's shoulder jokingly.
"Alright, alright!" She laughed. "Buzz wants to ask you to marry him! Isn't that great Jess!" As Barbie began going on about how Buzz was planning to ask her, Jessie felt as though her world were suddenly falling to pieces around her, and as those thoughts were forming, a voice rang out through her mind and began to echo, fading slowly and silently.
'Jessie... Jessie...'
