Wow. Really? I made you wait this long? This chapter's been DONE for MONTHES, and I made you wait this long for it? Seriously, guys, I'm sorry. Super, super sorry. *hides under a rock in shame*
Anyway, let's get on to some long overdue reviewer response!
purpledragon6: Aw, thanks! I'm glad you loved it, and hope you love this chapter, too! :)
DrWhoLover815: Well, it's certainly more of an adventure. AN adventure that is turning my hair prematurely grey, but an adventure nonetheless. XD Glad you like it so much, and your wait is over!
Katakana Kong: Heh. Japanese jokes. But on to your actual review XD I'm happy you liked it. No problem-you guys are taking the time to review my story, the least I can do is take the time to thank and talk to you. ^_^ Well, I finally (FINALLY) got the time to post them now. YEAH BUZZ AND JESSIE ARE SHO KYOOTE THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A PARTEH. *high-fivez*
KDESE Rugby Gir: Glad you think it's cute, but I can't really take credit for that-those two are adorable all on their own. :)
iheartbuzz: Thanks! Again, I can't take credit for that, but it's nice to hear I'm doing the characters justice in that regard. Your looking forward is soon to be replaced with…uh…looking…at a computer screen! Yeah, there we go.
Well, let's get this super-late chapter started already, eh?
Enjoy!
Bonnie was led back into the room by her mother. The girl wore loose-fitting, soft pajamas that wouldn't irritate the sunburn.
"Now you just lay down," Bonnie's mom softly ordered as the girl climbed into bed. "I'll bring your dinner up here."
"Thank you, Mommy," Bonnie sniffed.
With a caring smile, her mother left the room.
As soon as the door closed, Bonnie zoomed out of bed, scooped up Jessie, and enveloped her in the biggest hug she could give her in her condition. "Jessie, I'm so so sorry! I didn't mean to throw you down like that, really I didn't! Can you ever forgive me?"
Jessie was overjoyed to hear this, and silently thanked Buzz.
"How can I make it up to you?"
Suddenly, a lightbulb went on in the little girl's head.
"AH ha ha ha ha!" The witch cackled. "With the fancy science stuff Evil Dr. Porkchop did to my wand, I can burn you all to a crisp, like I did to your friend over there!"
She pointed at Bonnie, who made a show of how much pain she was in.
"NO! Who can save us?" All of the toys were tied up, facing their imminent doom.
All except one, that is.
"I guess it's up to me!" Jessie drawled as she appeared on the scene.
"Hooray! It's Jessie!" The other toys cheered.
"Hmph! Cheer while you can!" With that, the witch activated her wand, and the toys made various sounds of pain.
"Oh no, you don't, you mean ol' witch!" She ran over to the purple-haired witch.
"HIII-YAH!"
Jessie kicked the wand out of the witch's hands and into the mouth of a hungry T-Rex.
"No! My plan is ruined!" The witch lamented.
"Mine too!" The doctor whined.
"You can make all the plans ya want...behind bars!"
With that, Jessie dropped the two criminals into the jail basket.
"Are you alright, Bonnie?" Jessie asked, as concerned as Bonnie's mother.
"I'm okay. Let's untie everybody." Bonnie smiled.
"Good idea, partner!"
Soon, everyone was free, albeit a little sunburned.
"Hooray for Jessie!" All the toys cheered.
"How do we get rid of this awful sunburn?" Trixie asked.
"Well, my mommy says it'll go away by itself after a while. But if you use this stuff called al-oe, it'll help it stop hurting a little."
"Thanks, Bonnie!" The toys thanked her.
"You saved the day, Jessie!" Buzz congratulated her with a big kiss on the lips.
"Aw, shucks, Mister Space Ranger-"
"Bonnie?"
The girl jumped up and turned sheepishly to her mother, who was carrying a tray with a big bowl of macaroni and cheese, along with some ice cream.
"I thought I told you to stay in bed."
"But Mommy, I was mean to Jessie and had to make up with her!" Bonnie explained.
Her mother chuckled. "I'm sure she forgives you. Now come eat your dinner."
After she ate, Bonnie grabbed all her toys, placing Jessie closest to her. Despite her insistence that she was not tired, Bonnie fell asleep almost immediately.
Woody was the first to react, turning to Jessie with a smirk. " 'Aw shucks'?" He stifled a laugh.
Jessie glared at him. "Shut up, it wasn't me sayin' it!"
"I didn't know you knew karate, Jessie!" Rex sounded impressed.
"It wasn't her doing it," Woody countered before she could respond.
"You are so lucky Bonnie's arm is in the way, cause-"
Bonnie shifted, and all the toys froze in fear.
But she just moved to her other side, freeing Jessie from her arm.
Jessie looked up at Woody with a dangerous look in her eye.
"I'm not scared of you," Woody scoffed.
Jessie got up and started moving towards him.
With a yelp, Woody jumped down and hid under the bed, causing the other toys to laugh.
Except for one.
Jessie noticed this and walked towards the spaceman. "Somethin' wrong, Buzz?"
He twiddled his fingers. "Well, uh...yes-I mean no...well, not...I mean, it's-"
'Stutteing again? Confound it all!'
It was then Buzz noticed the whole room staring at him.
"Jessie, could...could I talk to you...alone...for a minute?"
Jessie's stomach tied up in knots-she was almost positive she knew what this was about. "Of course, Buzz." Despite her best efforts, her voice shook a little.
With that, the two walked out of the bedroom door.
As soon as they left, Hamm turned to the crowd.
"Takin' all bets! No sum too great or small! Come on, take your bets here!"
Alright! Yeah, that was a chapter! And stuff happened! Yeah.
Eh hem. Anyway, either one or two chapters after this-I'm still writing the next chapter. THE BIG CONFESSION. Lotsa pressure. Stay tuned!
