Chapter Three – Take It Off
The song used in this chapter is 'Take It Off' by The Donnas. All copyright is theirs, yada yada. : - )
Rochelle slipped down off the desk, chuckling to herself. That Buzz Lightyear, he had been as stuttery as she didn't know what. Cute, really, she thought, as she picked out an area at the bottom of the desk to use for her performance. She had only been out of her box around a hour, with the help of Woody and his horse, Buttercup. No, wait, Bullseye, she thought, Buttercup was the unicorn, wasn't he?
She shook her head to herself and pulled out the mic from her belt, blowing into it, "Testing testing," she called, her voice amplified. "Can everyone hear me?" Several of the toys turned in interest and she grinned. "It appears so," she added. "Now, how about a little song to get us all in the mood?"
She flicked her thumbs up to Buzz, who was sitting casually on the stereo above her, watching all the goings on. At her signal the space toy hit the play button with his foot, and a rock beat filled the room.
More of the toys glanced around at the music, and Rochelle sighed happily, this was her favourite part. She flicked back her hair, shaking her hips to the beat, and started to sing.
I'm on my second drink, but I've had a few before,
I'm tryin' hard to think, and I think that I want you on the floor
Uh huh, yeah on the floor!
Go on and take it off, you gotta shake it off baby, for me
C'mon and break me off, cause I get what I want and I like what I see
By this point most of the toys that had looked around were starting to group around her, awestruck by the song. Amongst them, Mrs Potatohead was wiggling back and forth in pure delight. Rochelle continued, pointing at Buzz, who blushed on her next line,
Need your love 1,2,3, stop starin' at my D cup
Don't waste time, just give it to me
C'mon baby, just feel me up, c'mon, just give it up
She turned back to the main crowd with the chorus line;
Go on and take it off, y ou gotta shake it off baby, for me
C'mon and break me off, cause I get what I want and I like what I see
She paused in the song's instrumental, to dance and bop along to the beat, continuing to shake her hips and give the watching toys a good show.
Forget the application, you're the right guy for the task
Let me take you on vacation, just do it, you don't have to ask!
She jumped about in the air, getting ready to close the song and finish it offto the best of her vocal ability.
Go on and take it off, you gotta shake it off baby, for me
C'mon and break me off, cause I get what I want and I like what I see
Take it off, take it off baby, for me
Take it off! take it off baby, for me...
As the song ended, Rochelle punched the air triumphantly, and the toys cheered her, some of them even applauding her as they gathered around.
Buzz hit the stop button on the stereo with his other foot as he applauded too, and glanced down, noticing one toy missing. He looked across to the shelves above the desk and sighed, seeing the flash of red behind the books still.
Jessie.
