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!
"Everyone, gather up!" Woody yelled from the middle of Andy's room.
Hamm sighed from his position on the desk.
"What now Woody?" Hamm asked.
"You know what," Woody told him sternly. "Andy's planning on taking us out on holiday. He's planning on letting his cousin play with us when he gets to his grandparents."
"But Woody, that's not for weeks," Jessie stated from beside Woody.
One by one, the toys then all gathered around the Sheriff.
"No Jess, we found out about the vacation weeks ago," Woody told her.
"It's time already?" Buzz asked.
"Yeah," Woody answered and nearly all of the toys gasped in surpirse. "But the reason I wanted all of you here is because we need to arrange travelling."
A few complaints were heard in the crowd.
"Oh I hate finding moving buddy's," Rex complained. "No one ever picks me."
"Yeah," Slinnk agreed. "Why can't we just leave it."
Woody folded his arms across his chest.
"I'm sorry guys, but we have to do this," Woody informed. "No toy gets left behind."
"You didn't act that way when it came to Bo," Mr Potato-head said sarcastically.
Woody's eyes widened and he swallowed a gulp in regret.
Why didn't he help her? Why did he let her part from him?
His eyes glistened for a brief moment, before he shook his head, now wasn't the time.
"Right everyone, you have to find a travelling buddy, prompt!" Woody ordered.
There were a few panics from the crowd, as they found their travelling buddy.
Mr and Mrs Potato-head instantly picked each other. Two of the three aliens, with Woody's permission, went together. Slinky and Buzz went together, Buzz wanted to go with Jessie, but his nervousness got the better of him. Hamm, reluctantly, went with the last alien and Woody went with Rex.
Jessie looked over to Bullseye, who was know more than a few centimeters away from her, before stepping towards him and stroking his mane.
"I guess it's just you and I," She told the horse with a smirk.
He gave a neigh of approval.
"Right everyone," Woody continued. "These will be your travelling buddy's. You each have a job, and that's to ensure that the other one doesn't wonder off, fall out of the car, fall down the toilet..." At that moment, he specifically stared at one of the green aliens. "I also want you to ensure that the other isn't lost on the way. And, I can't stress this enough, make sure that they don't do anything stupid, okay? Okay, okay."
"Eh...Woody, I think you're over exaggerating the situation here," Buzz admitted.
"I am not exaggerating," Woody snapped.
Buzz backed away.
"Geez Woody," Jessie told him. "No need to get hasty."
"I am not hasty," Woody stated, acting like a three-year-old being deprived of sugar.
"Mood swing," Jessie mouthed to the rest of the toys, causing them to burst out laughing.
Woody had not seen her mouth those words, so he was left wondering what they found so funny.
"Hey, what are you all laughing about?" Woody asked.
Nothing was muttered from them, apart from a few giggles.
He bit his lip, to keep himself from bursting with anger and frustration.
But he forced those thoughts from his mind a ignored a few of the toys snickers.
"All right everyone, now that we all have our travelling buddy's, I want you to make sure that you have everything you need," Woody ordered. "Andy will be back from school in a few hours, and after that he'll pack his stuff to leave tonight. So I'll make this clear, if you don't have everything you need by the time Andy comes home, then you won't have a chance to get it before we leave."
A few more complaints were heard, before the crowd broke apart, to gather their items.
"And whatever you do," Woody yelled as they left. "Make sure you don't lose your buddy now. I don't want anyone left behind."
Jessie and Bullseye strode around the room.
The cow girl was checking thinks of her mental checklist.
"Hat," She muttered to herself, placing a hand on top of her hat. "Boots. Hat...Boots. Well I've got everything Bullseye."
She didn't notice Woody walking up to her.
"Hey Jess, are you sure you'll be all right looking after Bullseye?"
"Of course I will," Jessie answered, slightly shocked that Woody would even ask that. "Why?"
Woody shifted from foot to foot sightly.
The truth was, he didn't exactly trust her with Bullseye.
"Well it's just that..." He paused and Jessie took the hint.
"You think I won't be able to keep an eye on him do you?" Jessie asked, folding her arms across her chest. "You think I'm too irresponsible."
"Hey..." Woody detested. "I didn't say that at all."
"But you were thinking it weren't you?" She asked.
He said nothing. Her eyes furrowed in anger.
"I can look after Bullseye," Jessie told him.
Bullseye had no idea what to do, so he instead cowered behind Jessie.
"I know Bullseye like the back of my hand," She stated.
"I know him just as well," Woody argued. "In fact, I probably know him better than you do."
"No you don't. You didn't spend the best part of half a decade trapped in a box with only him."
Woody was about to say something, but he cut himself off. She was right.
"Well just be careful at least,"
"Just be careful at least," She mimicked in a mocking tone.
Woody tried his best to ignore this, he turned swiftly, before walking away.
"Come on Bullseye," Jessie told the horse and they continued to stride around the room.
Jessie kept her eyes locked on the floor, counting the steps she took, in her head, to pass the time.
But after a while, she began to notice something different.
Out of curiosity, she looked around.
Her eyes widened, when she saw that Bullseye was not beside her.
She turned in a circle, scanning the area for a trace of Bullseye.
He was no where to be seen.
She was about to call for Woody, when she remembered that she was wanting to prove herself to him.
Yeah...that wasn't turning out so well.
He'd kill her if he found out. She'd never be able to live it down.
She had to force a sense of worry out of her mind, as she searched for Bullseye.
It took a lot longer than she thought it would.
A/N Uh oh, what has Bullseye gotten up to. You'll find out in the next chapter.
