She knew what she had to do. She had to find Buzz. She went to Stinky Pete.

"Howdy Jessie!" Stinky Pete said. "Where's Woody?"

"That doesn't matter Stinky! Where's Buzz?" she asked hurriedly.

"Why...he's still in the hotel. He hasn't come out for days now. I think it's because of you."

"So he didn't leave?"

"Oh no, he's still here. He's waiting for you." Stinky Pete responded.

"Thanks Stinky!" she yelled back as she ran towards the hotel.

"Where are you going?"

"To tell Buzz that I love him!" Jessie yelled. Stinky Pete smiled as Jessie ran off.

Jessie reached the hotel, and to her dismay, Buzz wasn't there. She searched everywhere for him. As she was about to give up, she saw Buzz atop one of the wooden platforms looking out over the water. She climbed up to the platform Buzz was on. Buzz was still staring out across the water, not realizing Jessie was behind him. Jessie stood next to Buzz and he turned in surprise. They stared at each other for a while. Jessie was the first to speak.

"Buzz. I'm sorry about this whole mess. I'm sorry to have caused you pain. I'm sorry." Buzz was silent as Jessie spoke, but he absorbed every word she said. Jessie continued, "You came into my life, and I never thought what happened would ever happen. I fell in love with you Buzz, but I was scared. I tried to run away from it, but I soon realized you can't run away from love. Buzz Lightyear, I love you." Buzz was stunned, and took a step back in surprise.

"You really mean this Jessie?" Jessie nodded in silence. Buzz looked into her green eyes and kissed her on the lips. It was a slow kiss at first, but then both became more passionate. Buzz stopped and Jessie thought she had done something wrong. Buzz put his head against Jessie's and whispered, "I love you." They continued to kiss as the bright sun shone down upon them.

Epilogue:

Mayor Hamm had begun setting up preparations for the following evening. It was going to be a big celebration, and for it to be a successful night, everyone's help was required. He called on Stinky Pete and Wheezy and assigned them to fetch the two toys. Stinky Pete and Wheezy knocked on the door, but there was no answer. They decided to search the one place they knew the two toys were bound to be.

They headed for the town's only waterfall and found Buzz and Jessie sitting atop a wooden platform which was extending above the water. Jessie sat in Buzz's lap, and they looked out over the horizon. Buzz played with Jessie's hair as she closed her eyes. Wheezy wanted to leave the two alone, but Stinky Pete reminded them of what they were there to do.

"Buzz? Jessie?" Stinky Pete called out.

No one answered at first, but then Jessie unwillingly asked, "Yes? Who is it?"

"It's Stinky Pete!"

"Can this wait until tomorrow Stinky? I just unclogged it today…"

"Oh it's not that at all! No! I don't even know what you're talking about!" Stinky Pete looked at Wheezy to see if he had understood. Wheezy stared at the sun and coughed, and Stinky Pete looked up at the two again.

"Can you please come down? Mayor Hamm needs to see you two immediately!" Stinky Pete said, trying to sound official.

"Alright, alright. C'mon Buzz…" Jessie said as she slowly got up. She grabbed Buzz's hand and they headed down to meet Stinky Pete and Wheezy. They lead the couple back towards town where Mayor Hamm was eagerly waiting for them. The mayor was a bit jealous when he saw the two holding hands, but this emotion was immediately trampled by happiness for the two.

"I hope you two are having a wonderful anniversary! The town wanted to throw a party for the two of you! We've never such a happy couple in this town before…unless if you count Wheezy and—"

"COUGH COUGH!" Stinky Pete suddenly had a cough attack. Mayor Hamm got the hint and turned to look back at Buzz and Jessie.

"Anyway, SURPRISE!" All of the toys jumped out from behind the buildings and rushed over to congratulate the two. Jessie eagerly talked to the toys while Buzz smiled and watched her.

After the shindig was over, Buzz took Jessie by the hand and led her to "their spot" above the waterfall. She sat in his lap and leaned her head on his chest. He cradled her in his arms, and he looked into her deep green eyes. They shone with excitement, and he temporarily lost his train of thought.

"Jessie, I love you, and I never want to let go of you."

"Buzz, you silly!" She giggled as he began to stroke her hair.

"No, no hear me out! I want to be with you for forever." Buzz looked into her eyes, and his look gave away the secret he had been trying so hard to keep from her. She covered her mouth in shock, and he whispered in her ear. She nodded, too shocked to speak, and she embraced him. She looked into his eyes and then kissed him. She pulled away and had finally composed herself.

"One year together was great! Why not forever?" She teased him playfully. He smiled back at her and took her hand in his. Plastic to plastic, they interlocked their fingers, signaling a new beginning.
