xD All righty then, I lied. This isn't the last chapter, but I have a hunch that you're gonna love this one! ;)
Mrs. Anderson paused from the conversation to check on her daughter only to find her snug in slumber; this time, no shot was required.
"Oh, look. She's out like a light."
"Two hours, did he say she had to stay?"
"Unfortunately, but she's going to be really thrilled with that new doll."
"She has to be careful with it, though. The doll's over twenty years old."
"Nah. Bonnie's as gentle as a butterfly with her toys. Let me take a look at it again."
As Bonnie slept, Woody could see the two women perfectly as that box was taken out of the paper shopping bag. They were out of ear shot, also they had their backs to the bed so Woody and Wheezy became lively wondering what on earth was inside that small rectangle of a box. Although Wheezy knew fully who was inside there.
"Hey, Woody. Um...well," the penguin gave a small chuckle. "I kinda bumped into someone when I was bought this morning. I was a tad surprised too, since I thought I was never gonna see her again."
"See who again? What?" Woody was more than befuddled.
Wheezy chuckled again, but he only pointed a flipper at the two women who opened the box. What Bonnie's mother took out had him freeze in complete awe. There she was, held gently in Anderson's hands as she was being looked over. She looked the same, nothing about her appearance was altered. Bo still had her herding staff and her western dress and bonnet glittered in the building's light. The only thing that was missing was her trio of sheep that she had always had over the years with Andy. Woody's face glowed with immense joy of seeing her again and he was ecstatic that she wasn't broken or tweeked in any way. Bo was glowing in the light and she looked the same way as she did when she was sold. Speechless, he was, but he couldn't help but to sound out her name.
"Bo..."
During this moment, the friends in the grocery bag were struck with surprise. Joyious surprise, to be exact.
"Oh, my western boots," Jessie gasped. "Is that who I think it is?"
"I can't believe it! It's Bo Peep!" Buzz swallowed, happy as well.
"But, she was sold." Slinky added.
"To the correct person, it looks like." Buzz laughed. "Look who's back, everyone."
Now that was a moment to celebrate the return of two good, close friends, sadly, it wasn't because of the human presence in this hospital. Truthfully, they had a happiness that was far too strong to contain. Woody, on the other part, was speechless, almost disbelieving that it was truly her. Of course, there could be other dolls just like her, the same as the Barbie chain. But, he could not get that cynical now; he and the others just got back to Bonnie in one peace. Just then, the two ladies turned toward them and everybody froze and went silent.
"How can we deny it? Bonnie will love her." Anderson winked at her sister.
Gingerly, Bo Peep was lightly placed back into the cardboard and bubble wrap. Although still like he appeared to them, Woody was exhilerated through and through with happiness that she was all right after all those years. Bo...it's really you. I had always knew that you were in the right hands... He had thought that he lost her for good. To their happiness, Bonnie was going to be taken back home as soon as she felt better after her endeavor and now they would have the rest of their beloved family back together again. Out of all they had been through a month ago, it was nothing compared to this. But, finally, Bo was perfectly safe. Woody had accepted that Bo was never to return, but, no, he was proved wrong. Bonnie was always deeply respectful to her toys so Bo would fit perfectly in the girl's favorites; she would probably have Bo play the love interest for the hero, just like how Andy depicted when he was a boy. Woody's moment was cut short when both mother and aunt sat right next to Bonnie as she slept.
The wait was annoying and aggrivating, but the time came for Bonnie to be taken home for her two week recovery. Mrs. Anderson took Bonnie's bag and had Jack and Bo in the paper one and put them both in the back. Sadly, the poor girl was in no play mood, since she napped during the the drive so far. Finally! It was awful to wait that long, but they prevailed successfully. The family had a chance to speak with Bo. During the drive, Woody unzipped the backpack and saw that the paper bag was right next to them.
"She's in there. I'll be back in a sec, guys." Woody said as he silently slipped out of the school bag.
"Go and do it." Jessie nudged him as he got out.
"She'll be so glad to see you, cowboy." Buzz encouraged.
There was so much excitement, but there was too much silence for comfort. Woody climbed up and over into Bo's bag and he landed beside that small box in which she was kept. Being as silent as he could be, he lifted the top open and saw a face that he missed for so long. Her shiny face broke into a smile when she saw him.
"Woody!" she gasped, getting up and trapping the cowboy in the tightest hug she could manage.
"Oh, Bo...I really was worried about you." he whispered to her.
"I thought I was never going to see you again."
"I thought the same. I'm so happy that you're okay."
The car hit a speed bump. Bo almost fell, but he caught her in a way that it looked like they had just finished a waltz and they both began to laugh. "Whoops..." he chuckled, setting her back into the box.
"You're just the same as I remember, Woody. My, how I missed you." with that, she hugged him again. "Are we going back to Andy?" she said, lastly. She saw Woody's face fall, depressed.
"No, Bo. I'm afraid that, um, we have a new owner now."
"No."
"But, ah, we do belong to someone who does take good care of us. I know she'll take good care of you too."
Still, Bo was sad at the fact that Andy had moved on. "Do you know where Andy is now?"
"He went to college. He wanted to take me with him, but...things got complicated."
"What about everyone else? Buzz, Jessie...are they?"
Woody smiled at her. "It's okay, everyone's still together. Now we all are, now that you and Wheezy are here."
"That's so good to know. So good to know."
The conversation could have drawled on longer if it weren't for the car to stop. They were home with everybody accounted for.
All right! *does a triple flip*
