Ok, so I'm fully aware of how freaking long it's taken for me to get this chapter out. But (i know this is a dumb excuse) i've been EXTREMELY bust as of late, and have barely had time to eat dinner let alone write anything. And to those of you who realized that chapter 2 was basically just a section of the movie, thanks for that, I was well aware already. It was meant to be put there to show what happened between chapters 1&3. so now here's chapter 3, which feels kind of short and rushed so i'm really sorry about that! But I'll try my hardest to get ch. 4 out as soon as i possibly can.
Chapter 3-Almost
Woody found himself talking to Trixie in Bonny's room. That was one wild ride…he thought to himself. After rescuing his friends from a daycare ran by an evil bear who smelled of strawberries, watching his best friend be reset to original factory settings and then talk only in Spanish, and almost being burned to a crisp and never seen again, he was glad to be somewhere safe. Getting to play with Andy one last time before he went to college was a dream come true for Woody. True, Andy was going to take Woody to college with him, but let Woody stay with his friends. Woody finished talking to the dinosaur and climbed up to sit on Bonnie's bed. After that wild adventure he'd just had, he needed some time to himself to just think. Just then, Woody heard some Spanish music coming from the direction of Bonny's stereo. He hopped down from the bed to investigate. Buzz had begun to do a strange…dance? Was it a dance? And then proceeded to involve Jessie in this strange episode, sweeping her off her feet.
"I…uh…I don't know what's come over me, uhhh…."
"Just, go with it, Buzz," replied Jessie to Buzz's stammering. The adorable couple then began to do a wonderful Spanish dance. All the toys cheered and clapped for them, and marveled at how cute the two of them were together.
Man, Buzz is so lucky, Woody thought to himself. He didn't envy Buzz because he had Jessie, no, he was very happy for the both of them, rather he felt jealous and alone, due to the fact that the two of them had something he didn't. It was even worse for Woody, however, because he knew what it felt like to have someone like that. How many times had he been whipped around by Bo's blue shepherdess crook and looked like a fool because of the way she made him blush? Too many to count. But not in a long, long time. Woody sighed and went back to sit on the bed. He heard Jessie and Buzz giggling and remembered when he had felt the same way they were feeling now. Oh, Bo, he thought. I wish you could see where we all are now…
Bo lay on the ground in the position she was always in when there were people around, as Lily ran out of the room to go out to dinner with her family. She slowly sat up and brushed herself off. She sighed, and the other toys looked at her with worry in their eyes. They all knew about Woody, and that what had happened during playtime today would make Bo feel extremely upset. A Legolas action figure that Lily had stolen from her brother walked towards Bo.
"Look, Miss Peep, I'm really sorry about what happened today…you know I didn't mean any of it, right?" Legolas tried to apologize.
"Yes, Mr. Greenleaf, I quite understand that none of it was your fault. Now, please, just go away…please," Bo responded. The last words she spoke rang out into the room with an air of hopelessness and desperation. Legolas knew better than to keep talking to her. Today, Bo had played the damsel in distress, rescued by Lily's brother's toy, Legolas. She hadn't been rescued since it was her beloved Sheriff doing the saving, and it hurt quite a lot to know that he wasn't the last to save her flock.
Miss Peep and her sheep climbed up on Lily's bed, and she sat with them. They were really the only ones whom she could talk to who would have the slightest idea of the way she was feeling. They remembered Woody, and they loved him almost as much as their shepherdess did.
Bo stroked each of their heads and whispered, "Do you ever think we'll see him again?"
She was answered by a slightly lighthearted sounding "Baaaaa!"
"Oh, I hope so too, little ones."
She and the sheep sat on the bed for a while just thinking to themselves. Some of the other female toys in the room debated going up there to talk to her, but they knew better than to try.
Just then, Lily came running back into the room, obviously excited about something. Bo and the sheep took their defensive toy positions.
"I'm going to play at my friend Bonnie's house! Some of you can come with me!"
Lily then stuck her head out the door.
"Jason! Can I borrow Legolas to take to Bonnie's house? Please?"
"Sure Lil', just be careful with him! And leave his bow and arrows here, I don't want you to loose them!"
"Aw, thanks Jase!"
Bonnie went back in her room, sticking Legolas in her bag to take to Bonnie's. She proceeded to grab Bo Peep when she heard her mother's voice behind her.
"Wait, no, sweetheart, that toy is very breakable, I'd hate to see you all upset if you hurt her at Bonnie's house!"
"Oh, alright mom," Lily said as she set Bo down on her bed.
Bo's new owner then left to go play with a friend, and Bo had no idea how close she just came to seeing the cowboy she loved with all her heart again.
Yeah, sorry that was so short! But it had to be there, unfortunately. Please Review! Thanks!
