Author Note: Holy cow guys! I'm so sorry it took me so long to put up a new piece. I don't even have a good excuse. I mean I'm still all Toy Story obsessed and it's not like I have much of a life. I guess I just didn't have any really great strong ideas to play with and the few I did have weren't coming out right. Anyway, here's a new one enjoy (and I should have a whole new story started sometime this week so look out for that ^_^)
Title: Girl Talk
Characters: Mostly Bo & Jessie (some Buzz and Woody)
Summary: Jessie and Bo get a chance to catch up and Woody's an idiot :P
Notes: I'm not sure entirely where this came from. I kind of saw it as an epilogue for my other story "Never Get Over Losing You" but I like that piece as it stands and I didn't want to add anything to it so I thought I'd post this w/ the one shots. Be aware that if you haven't read said other story you should (and not just as a shameless plug) but b/c it really is a precursor to this. Basically I see Jessie and Bo as epic best friends (like Woody & Buzz) and for some reason I dove into my made up back story for Bo while she was gone and there's some Woody being a jerk and some fluff and idk.
"Ow! Be careful back there," Jessie hollered as her hair was yanked just wrong.
"Well if you hadn't gotten it so tangled I wouldn't have to pull hard," Bo said, trying her best to get a small plastic Barbie comb through Jessie's locks. It was proving more difficult than first though. The comb was intended for much thinner stringier hair and kept getting caught in the yarn. "And since when are you tender-headed?"
Jessie glowered though Bo couldn't see her face. "Since you decided to rip my hair out of my head." She tried to turn to face the shepherdess but her head was immediately pushed back so she faced forward. "Plus, it's not my fault Bonnie decided to let it down and then have me fight bandits."
Bo laughed softly and gave the brush one more try before giving up. She opted instead to use her fingers, separating the knotted up strands manually. Jessie leaned back a bit wrapping her arms around her knees and admiring Bo's tenacity. For a doll with only one in tact hand she was doing a much better job than Jessie could have done herself. It had been a very long time since Bo and Jessie had been able to hang out like this. Being the only two "girl" toys in Andy's room they had become fast friends upon the cowgirl's arrival and had been known to create plenty of harmless mischief for the other toys. "I missed doing this," Bo said, as if she had read her mind.
Jessie nodded as best she could, "Me too. Were there many other toys in your last home?"
"Not really," Bo said, quickly putting Jessie's fears of bringing up the other houses at rest, "The first one was a nursery so there were some baby toys, mostly plush and not much for conversation. The other girl was a bit older but she wasn't quite to the right age for anything more complicated than a See 'N Say."
"That sounds pretty lonely," Jessie said, hugging her knees tighter to her chest. She heard Bo let out a small sigh.
"It was, honestly, but it wasn't terrible. It was quiet and nice. The first mother talked to me all the time before the baby was born about all the plans for her new little girl. When they came home from the hospital with a baby boy instead though, I didn't quite fit the décor anymore. Luckily, she had another friend with a young daughter so that's where I went next. I barely had time to miss the first place."
"And the second girl-"
"Amy"
"Right, Amy, she's the one who- who dropped you?"
"Unfortunately yes," Bo said pulling her hands away from Jessie's hair. Jessie turned her head and saw the doll staring across the bedroom lost in her own thoughts. "She was so upset when it happened. Her mother tried her hardest to fix me but my hand was unsalvageable. I got to stick around a while longer but come the garage sale I was out on the table."
Jessie frowned. She wanted to apologize to Bo for everything she had had to go through but thought it silly. Instead she pulled her friend into a hug and with a smile said, "Well at least you're back here with us where you belong."
When Jessie pulled away she found Bo smiling as well. "And I couldn't be happier for that."
All of a sudden the girls heard someone clear their throat. They peered down over the edge of the bed to see Woody staring up at them expectantly.
"What're you guys doing up there?" He asked. His arms were crossed over his chest and he tapped his foot lightly.
Bo looked at Jessie and smiled before looking back down at the cowboy, "Just girl talk."
"Well that can't be right," he said, dropping his hands.
"Why not?"
A wicked smile crossed Woody's face. "It makes sense for you Bo, but Jessie…" he trailed off.
Jessie glared down at him. "You sayin' I'm not girl enough?"
"If the boot fits," Woody said. The fire that suddenly filled Jessie's eyes turned his satisfied smile into a look of pure dread. Before he knew it he was running for his life. Jessie jumped down off the bed, leaving her hat with Bo, and racing after the cowboy. Her red hair, still free of its braid, trailed behind her as she took off around the corner. She leapt into the air with a primal yell tackling Woody and wrestling him to the ground. Woody yelped out in surprise and Jessie grabbed his arm pinning it behind his back.
"Take it back!" she cried, sure she looked fairly insane at the moment.
Woody grunted and tried to squirm away. "No," he managed to squeak out.
"TAKE IT BACK!" Jessie screamed pulling harder on his arm and digging her knee into his back.
"Okay, OKAY!" Woody yelled. "You're a girl!"
"That's what I though." Jessie said releasing his arm and getting back up to her feet. She looked around to see a few of the other toys watching the fight with wide eyes. Dolly and Mrs. Potato Head looked worried while Hamm, Mr. Potato Head and Buttercup were taking bets on who would win. Jessie gave them all a curt nod and then strode off to the other side of the room where she hurried back up onto the bed.
She found a pointed look waiting for her when she arrived and shrunk under Bo's stare. "How badly did you just hurt him? Do I need to go get the sewing kit again?"
Jessie waved her hand nonchalantly, "Nah, he's a tough guy, he can handle it."
"I should go check on him," Bo said worriedly and made her way down off the bed toward her injured beau.
Jessie chuckled lightly, running a hand through her once again knotted hair and letting her feet kick off the side of the bed. It was getting to be more and more like old times everyday and she loved every second of it.
"So…" a voice from behind her said, "What'd he do this time?"
Turning around, Jessie looked up to see Buzz standing behind her. His arms were crossed over his chest and an amused look was on his face.
Jessie bit her lip and wrung her hands as the space toy sat down beside her, "He- well he said I wasn't girly enough to be part of girl talk with Bo and so I- I might have beat him up until he took it back." She finished with an innocent smile that wouldn't fool anyone.
Buzz smirked and put his arm around her and kissed her on the forehead. "That's my girl."
