Disclaimer: I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed, faved or put this story on alert, it means a lot to me. Unfortunately, I do not own Toy Story. A third of the way there! Not stopping now! I would like to thank Jade Zimmer, again, for giving me the inspiration for this idea.
It was approaching to the dead of mid-night outside and Woody was sat up against the window, staring out.
He regretted ever having an argument with Jessie and it was only now, that he realized how much of a jerk he had really been.
If he hadn't started up that argument, Dolly and Buzz wouldn't have felt the need to step in and get the two of them to make up.
He felt like slapping himself, but if he did that, he'd really be slapping Jessie.
How could he have been so stupid?
Why was he always such a jerk.
Jessie going through the washing machine was an accident, but he had still blamed her and acted like a jerk. He had been horrible to her and offended her, by calling her fears a childish habit. He knew that he'd probably act the same way if he had ever spent the best part of two and a half decades in a dark box.
His vision was suddenly blurred with tears. It might just be that Jessie's sensitive side was kicking in, or maybe it was because he had hust gone through a very hard and confusing day.
He was feeling uneasy now as it became darker in the room and his breath sped up. Must just be her fears radiating on him.
Woody frowned and stared helplessly out of the window.
But he then heard a neigh come from behind him. Expecting it to be Bullseye, he turned and was faced with an empty space.
He sighed and returned his gaze to the window.
He heard a neigh again, he looked behind him. He must be imagining it.
He wasn't.
Bullseye was stood behind him.
"Hey," Woody muttered half-heartedly.
Bullseye nudged Woody in the shoulder, causing him to turn his head.
He then saw himself, which was obviously Jessie.
"Hey howdy hey," Jessie muttered.
Woody's face fell. He must have caused her so much pain. He felt like a compete jerk.
He, however, forced a smile to his lips.
"Hey, I see you've gotten pretty good being me already." Woody told.
"Yeah," Jessie began to mutter, she knelt next to him. "About that..."
She had no idea what to say, so she closed her mouth.
They both remained silent for quite some time, when Jessie saw something glisten in his eyes.
Your eyes, she had to remind herself.
"Woody," She began, frowning in curiosity. "Are you all right?"
He shook his head.
"No, I'm sorry Jess," He told her anxiously. "All of this is my fault. I didn't mean to yell at you and I didn't mean anything I said either-"
Jessie smiled.
"You were right Woody," She interrupted. "Being leader is hard. I never got one free moment to myself. And especially Hamm and Mr Potato-head, when are they not arguing?"
She gave a small chuckle.
"I'm really sorry Jess, this is all my fault. I was being a stupid jerk. I've been in your body for like a few hours and I already feel how uneasy you feel when it comes to the dark and small spaces.
She gave a nervous smile and Woody smiled softly back.
"This ain't your fault Woody, I was the one that almost gave our secret up when I fell in the washing machine. I meant nothing I said. It's my fault, not yours."
He shook his head.
"It wasn't your fault, it was an accident. But I still yelled at you and said things that I shouldn't ever say."
"Why don't we just say it was no-one's fault?" Jessie asked. "It was inevitable. And besides, if we want to find someone to blame, we could blame Buzz and Dolly. They were the ones that did this to us. Buzz already owes me big time anyway. Now we have a right to pay them both back, and I can still continue to torment Buzz."
Woody smiled.
"But...things will still never be the same again...will they?" Woody asked. "I know that you and Buzz are...sort of an item. But things won't stay the same between the two of you, if you look like me. It'd sorta look like incest."
"Yeah," Jessie muttered. "Since you two do act like brother's."
"Brother in law you mean?" Woody asked and he smirked.
She nodded.
Jessie then surprised him by tackling Woody into an embrace.
It felt kind of weird to Woody, since it sort of felt like he was hugging himself, which he technically was, but he eventually wrapped his arms around her.
"I am really sorry about all of this Woody," She told him. "I never meant any of this to happen...this will ruin our lives."
"That makes two of us," Woody muttered.
"I love you," She whispered.
His eyes widened for a brief moment, but he then realized she didn't mean it in the way he originally thought.
She loved him like a brother.
"I love you too," He muttered.
They had no idea why, at that moment, but they suddenly felt a warm spark fly between them. They then saw a golden glow pass between them.
Noticing this, Bullseye felt concerned for his friends. He had no idea what was happening, so he went to fetch Buzz.
Woody and Jessie slightly broke apart from each other, they stared in awe at the golden glow.
After a few seconds, the light died, and the uneasiness they felt had, suddenly disappeared.
They looked into each others eyes, and gasped.
Woody was the first to smile.
He was looking at Jessie, from his own eyes.
"We're back!" He yelled.
A booming smile flew across her lips and she tackled him into another hug.
"I can't believe it," Jessie told him.
"Promise me that we won't fight like that again."
"We won't," He assured.
In the corner of their vision, they saw Buzz approaching.
Jessie smiled, until she realized she was supposed to be angry at the Space Ranger.
When Buzz nothing her death gaze, he stopped dead in his tracks, standing in the center of the room, whilst Woody and Jessie were on the windowsill.
He was definitely used to that gaze, he knew what it meant.
If looks could kill, he suddenly thought.
He then realized that Woody was glaring at him as well.
He had no idea which one was the real Jessie. Both the gazes were as strong as her's usually is when she's angry. There was just one difference: Their gazes were much, much scarier.
"You and Dolly are in for it Buzzykin's," She spat. "Big time."
She's definitely back.
With as much dignity as he could, he ran away like a sissy.
A/N Hahaha, you're in for it Buzz. I now need to come up with a payback Jessie and Woody could use on Dolly and Buzz! Maybe they could force the two of them to sit through a really boring Western. Actually, maybe not. It may be better if they payed them back sneakily.
Last update for this plot line, unless I change my mind. Thanks again to Jade Zimmer! You are the best. (As anyone else is when they send a suggestion.)
Sorry, I'm just feeling really hyper and happy. My maths exam that I've been preparing for months for is finally over. I had to do it a year early:( And I got moved up to top set in English! Woo hoo! I'm happy today:)
Feel free to send a review or a suggestion if you want.
