Well, pals. I hate to say it, but...*sob* we're almost getting to the final chapter! *SOB* Why must it be this way?


Ultimately, it was the Cowboy's idea to hide in that grocery bag. Deja Vu all over again, the same way Andy was lead to Bonnie to begin with. Yet again, that sly technique had brought them back where they came. The paper bag was open wide at the top so they could not move an inch because of the people moving and going about the recovery room. No words could describe the relief they felt of returning to this very room. Their greatest worry was their dear owner herself. The Toys had almost forgotten how long they were absent, but it seemed that Bonnie had just awakened for the first time. To their luck, there was a rip in the bag so they were able to witness their owner wake up from that odd ordeal that frightened them so. That had to be the worst experience they ever had with Bonnie; witnessing her being taken away like that. Woody almost thought that he and the family would never see her again. Yet, their fervent prayer was answered. Bonnie looked good as new, only she was a little groggy from that nap the nurse had her take. But other than that, she was safe. Jessie gasped when she took a peek at the reunion.

"Look! There she is..." she whispered in disbelief.

"What did I say, everyone? She's perfectly fine." Buzz sighed, relieved as well.

"Gaddily, bob howdy!" Slinky smiled as he looked on too.

Woody got a gander too, but he noticed how utterly unhappy Bonnie was as she came around finally. The toddler's disdain instantly became his disdain. But she was all right, which was enough to satisfy his worry.

I'm so glad you're okay, cowgirl. Woody thought compassionately, letting all his fear come out in a deep sigh. We're right here for you.

Dr. Whickens, among the nurses and staff, came in closer to take a look at his brave young patient after allowing her to come around.

"There you are, darling." he smiled warmly at Bonnie as she gave a small yawn while rubbing her eyes like they were bothering her. "How are you feeling?" he asked as he wrote something down on his clip board.

"I'm tired..." the girl said in a dry, hoarse tone which told everyone else that she was grouchy.

"Aw, yes. I know. But you'll feel much better in a little bit. You can take another nap if you want. How does your throat feel, kid?" the Doctor kindly asked.

"It hurts...a...a...a little."

"Aww. Don't you worry though. That'll go away real soon too."

Bonnie hinted a tiny smile at her chosen surgeon and laid back on her pillow, cuddling. Meanwhile, Dr. Whickens said something important to Mrs. Anderson as Aunt Patricia sat nearby that delivered old grocery bag with said toys contained in it.

"Well, I'd give her about two hours to recoop. She'll be set to go home around one o'clock."

"Oh, yes, of course, Doctor. Thank you so much."

"Naw, don't even mention that. I make sure every kid I get goes home happy." he smiled before walking out of the recovery room.

Soon enough, the room was all to Bonnie and her aunt and mother. As well as her toys. Bonnie had not fallen asleep yet, rather, she was scanning the room for something. "Mommy?" she croaked, tiredly.

"Yes, honey? I'm right here." Anderson comforted. "Look who's come to visit."

"Hey there, trooper." Patty sweetly greeted.

Bonnie smiled, but there was something she truly wanted. Something that helped her to sleep every night at home, but she was too woozy to comprehend almost. "Mommy?"

"Yes, Bonnie?"

"Can I...have...Woody...?" the girl wearily asked.

Both Anderson and Patty smiled to each other and Anderson reached into that bag and took out the Cowboy with hat and all. She gave him to Bonnie who took him into a hug as she rubbed her tired eyes again. Still, she was feeling slightly light and dizzy from what that shot gave her. Come to think of it, she hardly remembered what happened, except that dream she had. It felt so real. The rest of the toys in the bag looked on, seeing how happy Bonnie got when she held Woody again. The girl relaxed on her pillow, holding Woody like a teddy bear.

"Well, Bonnie." Patty began. "Since I knew you weren't feeling very good, I thought I could get you a couple presents." she said as she brought a separate bag with a box inside.

Woody certainly wasn't moving, but he almost wanted to come alive when Patty took out a truly familiar penguin, giving it to Bonnie, squeezing it to squeak out. Wheezy? I can't believe it! It's you! How did-? Woody was amazed!

Bonnie gave the little penguin a squeeze, making it give a long squeak.

"It's Wheezy!" Jessie gaped as did the rest in the bag. Jack the Rabbit was in the room with them, but he was still on the floor beside the chair and Anderson picked him up.

"Blast! Where on earth did he come from? I thought we'd never see him again."

"So did I!" Slinky included.

"He looks as good as new! Yee-haw!" Jessie smiled.

Bonnie loved the squeaky toy, but she felt too exhausted and she was really thirsty from her dry, sore throat. Patty saw that and she considered to save the final gift for later, perhaps when they get home, she would give the porcelain when Bonnie felt at her best.

"I'll save the doll for tonight." she secretly whispered to Anderson. "Good idea." she agreed.

Bonnie yawned and rested on her pillow, hugging both Wheezy and Woody in each arm. Both women left Bonnie for moment to have a word which granted a moment for Wheezy to see Woody after such a long, long time.

"Woody?" the penguin squeaked. "Is that-?"

"Is it really you?" Woody whispered. "I thought you were yard-saled."

"I guess I was, but...now I'm here. I sat on the bottom shelf all these years."

"I'm so glad you're back with us, Wheezy."

Suddenly, Bonnie shifted and the two fell silent. There was another matter though. There was one last delicate gift left in that bag, neatly wrapped and kept inside a cardboard box.


Oh! *shakes with excitement* Just you wait for the last chapter! It's gonna rock your socks!
