Buzz paced around the room, hands behind his back.
He was trying to find something that everyone could do. Hamm noticed this, so he frowned.
"Are you thinking heavily Buzz?" Hamm asked.
Buzz jumped slightly in surprise. He sighed in relief when he saw that it was only Hamm.
"Yeah...I'm trying to think of what to do," Buzz began. "Andy's gone out for dinner tonight and won't be back for a few hours. And I need to keep everyone else entertained.
Hamm considered the possibilities for a while. His eyes were drawn to a small rugby ball, no bigger than the size of a human hand, and his eyes widened when he got an idea.
It would be good to try the game actually. The others would recognize part of the game, but wouldn't recognize the name.
"How about we play tag-rugby?" Hamm suggested.
Buzz seemed flabbergasted.
"Huh?" Buzz muttered. He had no idea what that was
"It's an English game. Rugby is the slightly modified, English version of Football. But Tag Rugby is similar to Rugby but, instead of tackling people, you tag them and they'd have to give your team the ball."
Buzz's eyes widened. He had no idea how the game would turn out, but there wasn't any harm in trying, was there?
"Okay...well I guess that makes sense," Buzz considered for a second. "Oh well, there's no harm in trying, is there?"
"No, of course there wouldn't be,"
"OK then," Buzz began. "I'll go gather the others up."
"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention...it's only for boys."
"But what about the others?" Buzz asked, slightly confused.
"The only girls here now are Mrs Potato-head and Jessie, Buzz," Hamm began. "And Mrs Potato-head will probably be looking after the three aliens."
"What about Jessie?"
Hamm smirked.
"Don't worry, Buzz...she'll find something else to enertain herself with," Hamm told Buzz, before winking.
Buzz's eyebrows rose in confusement, oblivious as to what Hamm was on about.
Buzz shrugged the thoughts away, as he went to gather all the boys.
"Buzz!" Jessie yelled. "Can I play too?"
Buzz rolled his eyes, he had just finished gathering all of the boys up and they were now all gathered around Hamm in the center of the room.
"No," Hamm told her. "It's for boy's only."
Jessie frowned, pouted and sat down in a huff.
"That's just stupid," Jessie commented. "Why can't I play?"
"Because the last time we checked," Woody began. "You weren't a boy. You were a girl."
"Oh, and you're not?" Jessie spat mockingly.
Woody's face fell, but he shrugged her words off.
"Feel free to sit and watch us manly toys play Tag-Rugby if you want," Hamm said.
"Manly?" Jessie asked, before giving a snorted chuckle.
The boy's ignored her and began to get on with their game.
Rex, Woody and Hamm were on one team, whilst Buzz, Slinky and Mr Potato-head were on the other. Bullseye was the referee.
Buzz's team started with the ball and Buzz threw it to Slinky, who barely managed to catch it in his mouth.
The bedposts acted as crossing lines.
Slinky began to run forward, but Hamm was able to tag him.
Slinky sighed and let out a disappointed moan.
Jessie's eyes widened in curiosity.
"Ha, I tagged you," Hamm pointed out. "Now you have to give me the ball."
Slinky handed it to him.
"You call that manly?" Jessie remarked, before giving a slight chuckle. "That ain't manly."
"And how would you know what manly is?" Woody asked. "You're not in a position to comment on it."
Jessie frowned and huffed.
Hamm picked up the ball with his mouth and the game continued. Hamm swung his head to the side to pass it to Woody. But Woody flung his arms wildly in the air, let out a small squeal of surprise and ducked, in fear of the ball hitting his head.
Jessie giggled.
"Yeah Woody, you are very manly," Jessie remarked, folding her arms across her chest. "Since sqealing like a girl is now considered a manly tradition."
"Hey," Woody began to defend. "I wasn't squealing like a girl. It was manly grunt."
"I wonder where Barbie put your hair gel and your blush?" Jessie muttered.
Woody shot her a death glare. And he continued to do so until Mr Potato-head punched the air.
"Yes!" Potato-head began. "We scored."
"Thanks a lot Woody," Hamm began sarcastically. "Pay attention next time."
The match continued and Jessie sighed out of boredom.
It was getting extremely repetitive. It kept going one way, or the other. Hardly anyone scored.
Woody now had the ball, since he had surprisingly caught it, for the first time in the match. He attempted to throw it over to Hamm, but Buzz caught it in mid-air. Buzz ran across the line.
"Yes!" Buzz cheered. "3:1. How do you call that for manly."
Jessie snorted a chuckle.
"You call that manly?" Jessie asked. "I'm a girl. Even I know that ain't manly.
"It is.." Buzz began whilst raising his eyebrows. "Why? What do you call manly?"
He later regretted asking her that.
A smirk formed on her lips.
It was time to play.
"You'll see..." Jessie said, standing on her feet.
Buzz swallowed a gulp.
"Jessie...? What are you doing?"
"Oh you'll see," Jessie said, before smirking again.
"What are you doing?" Buzz asked again.
"I'm just gonna show you how to be manly,"
The smirk grew larger.
Jessie then bent down slightly, before charging into Buzz.
He was sent sprawling onto the floor, causing him to let go of the ball.
Jessie snatched the ball up and began to run forward.
"Hey!" Hamm protested. "You're not supposed to be playing!"
Mr Potato-head tried to stop her by getting in her way, but Jessie just charged through, and all of his pieces fell apart.
"Just great," His mouth remarked.
She giggled maniacally, before she leapt the last foot.
She landed on her stomach and she slammed the ball down.
"Touch down!" She yelled and she cheered.
"Hey that's unfair!" Woody pointed out.
"Uh...Jessie, this is Tag-Rugby, not Football," Buzz told her and she frowned.
"Well, actually..." Hamm began and everyone else sighed. His know-it-all side was kicking in. "She could get away with it if this was Rugby. But this isn't Rugby and she's not even allowed to play, because she's a girl."
"And Woody isn't?" Jessie asked and Woody shot her a death glare. She folded her arms across her chest. "Talk about sexist."
"This is a game for manly people only," Hamm said.
"Yeah...and?"
"Well...you're not manly." Hamm pointed out.
Jessie frowned, before smiling.
"Actually, you said you were playing a manly game. And Tag-Rugby isn'y manly. And I helped make it a manly game by charging in. So there!"
Before anyone else could say anything, she stormed away in a huff.
All the while Buzz was thinking.
Wow, she sure is feisty.
A/N Lol, trust Buzz to think something like that! Thanks again to Jade Zimmer, you have really helped me with this Fanfic and I'm extremely grateful for that.
Feel free to send a review or a suggestion if you want.
