She struggled momentarily as she was pulled under the bed and whirled around to face her adversary. "Buzz! What in tarnation…"

"Sorry," He said. "I didn't want the others to hear."

Jessie raised an eyebrow. "Kay."

Buzz frowned. "You'll have to be more aware of your surroundings than that if you're going to be Woody's second in command."

Jessie put her hands on her hips.

Buzz laughed. "I'm just kidding. You'll be great." He took a few steps toward her. "I have something for you."

"You do?" Her eyes were wide.

He held up a small candy cane that was left over from Christmas in front of her. Jessie stared at him blankly for a moment as she took it from him, then blushed when she inhaled and the peppermint scent rushed to her. "Thanks," she said with a smile. She held it to her nose one more time before placing it in her pocket and laughed. Buzz laughed too.

"So.. are you having fun at your party?"

He nodded. "Very much. Are you?"

Jessie shook her head, hoping that she was being believable. "I guess we should get back," she said, looking over her shoulder towards the party noise.

"Actually, I was hoping the two of us could play by ourselves for awhile," he said, moving closer to her.

Jessie turned to look at him, the butterflies in her stomach acting up already. "What did you have in mind?" She asked coyly.

Buzz hooked his fingers through her belt loops and tugged her forward, closing the distance between them.

"Oh," She said, her voice barely a whisper. "I suppose that's okay." She wrapped her arms loosely around his neck and leaned her head down to accept his kiss.

He kissed her once, very lightly, then pressed his mouth to hers for a more passionate kiss. She smiled against his lips when she breathed in his minty scent and she thought that she would take the real thing over a candy reminder any day. She returned the kiss eagerly, wrapping her arms more tightly around his neck.

"Sh-should we get back to the party?" She wondered aloud in between kisses. "I don't want to hog you all to myself," she said in a voice that meant just the opposite.

He shook his head. "It's fine," he whispered against her ear, and she shivered. "Mmmm.. ticklish?" He murmured.

"No! No, no! Buzz, no!" She squealed delightedly as he kissed right under her earlobe. She grabbed his face in her hands and smushed her mouth against his again.

Buzz didn't complain. His kisses grew more intense, and her knees started to feel a little weak. She was glad when he tightened his grip on her waist. Her heart pounded wildly against her chest, and she wondered if he could hear it over to the noise of the party going on outside across the floor. If he did, he didn't say so.

She leaned closer to his chest, and a button on her shirt pressed into a button on his spacesuit. His wings popped open loudly and they both blushed furiously. "Sorry," she mumbled, as she rushed to help him readjust.

"S'ok," he murmured, reaching for her again. He clutched at the back of her shirt and his fingers got tangled up in her pullstring. "Oops," he whispered, and she giggled.

She waited a few seconds for him to free himself before placing her hands on his shoulders and tugging him closer to her. "Better?" she asked.

He smiled, his arms encircling her waist again. "Much." Their lips met again and he eagerly kissed her over and over, wanting to permanently embed this moment into his memory.

Just when he thought they couldn't possibly get any closer, she pulled him forward as they kissed and he willingly followed. She let out a yelp as her back pressed against the floor.

"Sorry," He said, straightening himself up.

Jessie shook her head. "It's okay," she replied, tugging on his arms. "I was just surprised." She leaned her head up for another kiss.

He sighed, knowing that he would be unable to refuse her anything. "Maybe we shouldn't get too carried away," he said quietly.

"Why not?" Her big green eyes seemed liquid like as they widened, and her lips puckered slightly.

"I… don't know," he admitted, trying to remember why he shouldn't just kiss her until neither of them could breathe as he stared down at her.

She smiled in victory when he leaned down to kiss her again. She pressed her hands to the back of his head, determined to keep him as close to her as possible and for as long as possible. Her heart pounded even faster than before as she felt his body pressed up against hers, and this time she was sure he could hear it.

He ran his hands up and down her sides as he kissed her, his fingers tracing her seams. When he finally came up for air, Jessie laughed.

"What's so funny?" He wondered.

"Nothin. I was just thinking…. I like this game."

Buzz nodded. It was certainly better than any video game or board game that was being played.
