*SOB* Why must it end? Truthfully, ending such a fun story is so sad...because, it'll be finished and...I shall no longer be working on it. Oh, boo...*sniff* Well, *sigh* let me introduce you to the epilogue of I'm Always There. ;)
A great, tremendous sound rumbled through out the canyon like an earthquake. The ground and the towering rock formations trembled from this power. All it happened to be was an entire herd of orange rogue bulls, stampeding across the wide scape out from the canyon and out in the wide, open spaces. Unfortunately, the stampede of animals were headed right toward the western town, Bullseye Ranch. The reason for this to happen? Oddly, it was thoroughly unknown.
Bullseye Ranch was where the law was set right and for any criminal to enter its bounderies? They answered to the Sheriff, face to face. Also, there was a close ally in range of this safe haven of a town. Jessie rounded the corner after lassoing a theif. Just as she was coiling her line up, that thundering sound caught her attention. Eyes widening at the sight of these giant huge beasts coming close, she broke into a run toward the main hall ahead of her.
"Bonnie?"
The playful girl's eyes went wide when she heard her mother's suspicious tone. In a haste, she dropped Jessie and went back to her messy bed, but, sadly, she was caught. Andserson gave a slow shake of her head at Bonnie's sheepish smile of trying to win her over. Bonnie pouted, knowing that she had lost this battle.
"Bonnie." Anderson sharpened. "You're supposed to stay in that bed." she said.
Bonnie's cheeks went bright red as her Mom scanned her room. Her toys were scattered all over the floor, including her new set of orange plastic bulls that she got as a gift the day before. This was the fourth time Anderson had caught the girl out of her bed, playing with her toys when she should be resting. Bo Peep was on the floor with the rest as well, only she was carefully stood up with Woody and both of the Potato Heads, of which Mr. Potato Head had an eye patch and so did the Mrs. Dolly was set ontop of the laundry basket, above the pile of orange buffalos. Basically, every toy she had were...everywhere.
"But, Mommy...I don't wanna be in bed anymore." Bonnie complained in a much better voice than the one suffered with for a week already.
"Two weeks, Bonnie. Dr. Whickens said you had to stay in bed for two weeks, naughty girl."
"But it's so boring, Mom!"
"No, no! Don't you use that tone with me, little lady. If I catch you sneaking out of that bed again, no ice cream tonight."
"Boo..." Bonnie pouted, plopping her blankets on herself and she just sat there, arms crossed.
With that, Anderson left and walked down the hall to the kitchen to cook dinner. What was the reason to stay in bed and do nothing all day? She felt perfect, actually. Her throat had not hurt for three days already and still she had to nap all day. So painfully boring! A kid's worst nightmare! Bonnie looked around her room at toys, trying to remember what she was doing. Smile mischieviously, she hopped down from her bed and quietly shut her door to continue her fun.
"Get on, Bullseye!" the cowboy beckoned as his steed began to hasten his gallop.
The dry land was shaking from the massive, dangerous buffallos that trampled everything in their path. Soon Jessie joined Woody mounted upon her white, wild unicorn and both she and Woody had their lassos held and ready to snag, but even two petty lines weren't enough to stop a entire herd of wild animals.
"There's too many of them, Jessie!" Woody told her.
"I know just what to do, Cowboy!" she grinned, mischieviously. "Giddy-up, Butter!"
The white stallion huffed and ran faster as Woody pulled Bullseye to head the opposite direction to circle around the herd. The hapless ranch, full of innocents could not do anything but to evacuate the peaceful town. The town beauty, Bo, assisted the children and the elderly out into the open, away from oncoming danger. Meanwhile, Woody and Jessie had their lines tied together and they ran fast to surround the wild herd to stop it. When Woody gave the signal.
"Now!" he yelled. He and Jessie both pressured their horses hard to yank the tied lines. As if in a single movement, the rope happened to snag the herd all around and they all tripped and fell at once. Just like a line of dominos, every orange animal fell over and upon one another in a mess. Soon enough, all the insanity haulted. All there was of the fallen herd was a pile of mooing buffalos lying down like a fallen domino line. Woody and Jessie got off their steeds and looked over the pile in relief.
"And that could've gotten a lot worse, huh?" Woody chuckled, putting his lasso away on his belt.
"I can't imagine how it would look."
"Bonnie!"
The girl panicked and ran back to her bed.
"What did I say?" her mother scorned.
"I didn't get up." Bonnie lied, feeling shrunk by her mother's anger.
"Nope, I saw you." Mrs. Anderson eyed her daughter very seriously.
Bonnie sighed, unhappy as her mother sat with her on the bed, picking up Woody and Jessie as she did so.
"Listen. If you take one nap for me today, I'll let you play all day tomorrow. How's that?"
"Okay. I guess." Bonnie shrugged, accepting the bribe. She got comfortable in her blankets and she found Woody, Jessie and Buzz snuggled with her. Her new Bo Peep doll stood elegantly next to her bed. Bonnie then recieved a kiss on the cheek and she found Woody in front of her.
"Come on, li'l lady. Just take one nap for your Mama." Anderson tried to pull off a western accent, but all it did was make Bonnie laugh. Soon the both of them were laughing.
"You're silly, Mommy! He doesn't sound like that." Bonnie giggled, taking Woody.
"Well, I tried."
They laughed again with the Toys as their witnesses. "Promise to stay in bed for one hour? I'll let you slide if you do one hour."
"Okay." Bonnie sighed again.
"Good girl." Anderson gave her a kiss before departing.
Bonnie didn't get up this time, and only relaxed on her pillow with her favorites all together, including her new gifts. The tiny penguin was at the foot of the bed and Bo Beep stood on the bed side table like she always did in the past. In a little while, the bored kid was sound asleep and soon the Toys about the room came to life. The little orange, plastic buffalos all hopped up and down excitedly as Totoro moved slowly by toward the bed. Buttercup and Bullseye stood up and the Potato Heads quietly walked up to the bed where the room faves were.
"It's a kids nightmare; to nap during the day." Buttercup enlightened.
"How many times have we seen that, pal?" Potato Head agreed.
"At least she feels better." Dolly added.
"Ditching naps seems to be a pretty healthy sign to me." Buzz said, getting up and hopping down to the floor.
"It's so relieving to be home again, I reckon. That hospital was way out of my liking."
Woody stood up and put his hat on as everybody quietly spoke among themselves. He got a moment to watch Bonnie sleep for second. It only had been a week since they got back from that horrible hospital, but everything was back to normal now with their dear owner all right. Also, there was something else that made the Anderson home even more heavenly.
"Woody." cooed a voice behind him.
He turned to Bo before he was caught by surprise by being hooked and yanked. Before he realized, he was right in front of Bo with his hat falling off.
"Oh! Uh...Hey there."
Bo smiled, predicting that he would say that. "I was right, you hadn't changed a bit."
"Well, yeah...it's only been five years-"
"I'm so proud of you for keeping everyone together."
"Andy actually..."
"With your help, of course." as she said that, she inched closer to the helpless cowboy and to his surprise and joy, they were both struck into a kiss.
"Awww," everyone chorused when they parted.
"Yow...whoa...is, uh, is it hot in here or is it just me?" Woody blushed, shy to look upon Bo's smiling, loving face.
"I know where we heard that before." Jessie winked and prodded Buzz with her elbow.
"Hey! Eh...huh?" Buzz acted as though he couldn't recall.
"Ha HAAH!" Dr. Porkchop cackled as he hovered his mighty ship as his great lazor ray picked up the helpless citizens of Bullseye Ranch; Bullseye, Totoro, Buttercup, Rex and Trixie, even Bo Peep was one them!
"Woody!" she cried. "Woody, help!"
"No!" Woody gasped when he saw her and the others being levitated upward into the evil pig's ship. Unfortunately, he, Jessie and Buzz were held captive by a massive herd of orange buffalos that were under control of the Pig.
"Buzz!" Woody cried to the Space Ranger. "Launch your wings quick!"
"Right ahead of you!" Buzz said in response and his wings opened all the way, smacking the mean buffalos away.
"Yes! You freed us, Buzz!" Jessie cheered.
"Hang on to me, you two!" Buzz ordered. He grabbed Jessie and Woody just before Buzz shot up quickly into the air.
With the two others in hand, Buzz flew high up toward that ugly, pig-shaped ship where the captives were held. The heroes soared up and over the mighty ship and they landed safely on top of it. Meanwhile, everyone was brought before the evil Pig. Seeing that had both the helpful steeds and the lady of interest, he was convinced that all this would turn into his favor. He laughed victoriously and turned to his evil cohorts, One Eyed Bart and Betty.
"Look what we got, guys. We'll have that Ranger and Cowboy all tied up after all!" Porkchop chuckled with pride.
"You leave them alone, you...you terrible pig!" Bo cursed the worst she could.
"Yell all ya want, lady. There's no hope for your friends now."
"You might want to rethink that, Bart!" spoke Woody.
Suddenly the titanium ceiling was shot out into tiny shards before Woody defiantly landed before the three villains.
"Sheriff?" Betty piped, disbelieving.
"How did you-?" Bart stuttered.
"There is something you need to know about me, partner. I have a lot of allies."
Next Jessie and the Space Ranger appeared from behind the smoke of debri.
"Oh yeah? Well, we'll show ya. Drop 'em!" Bart ordered Porkchop, who happily opened the enlarged conveyor belt doors that were directly underneath the heroes.
"Woody! The doors!" Bo yelped.
Right when the pig pressed the button, Woody hatched an idea.
"Buzz! The eject button!" he warned the Space Ranger, who shot at the big green light on the pig's chair.
When Buzz's lazor struck the button, the Doctor's chair was launched upwards, sending the fat pig high into the air and through the ceiling. Buzz eased his lazor away, prepared to shoot at any moment.
"Well, that takes care of that swine problem."
"You may have gotten rid of that stupid pig, pals, but we're still here!" Bart threatened. "Sick 'em, dog!"
Suddenly, the evil Bart's force-field dog came out of nowhere and surrounded the heroes and the captives all at once.
"Now you ain't goin' anywhere! The Witch will be dying to have you!"
"Bonnie!"
The girl dropped her toys and ran away again. She left everyone all together on the floor. Woody, Rex, Trixie, Buzz, Jessie and the Potato Heads were all in one pile and all of them were compelled to laugh.
"I might get used to this." Wheezy smirked in a tiny squeak.
"Just wait until she goes back to school again." Dolly laughed.
"Sunnyside would love to hear about this." Woody finished, smiling.
"That's going to be one heck of a long letter." Buzz said, beneath the pile.
The End xD
XOXO
