A/N I would like to thank everyone that has reviewed, sent a suggestion, added this story to alert, added to favourites or has even taken time to read it. What would I do without y'all? A/N

Buzz frowned as he gaped down at the cube (of which was absolutely huge from a toy's perspective) within his arms, with each hand holding a separate corner as he furrowed his eyebrows in deep thought.

Weren't Space Rangers supposed to be intelligent, with a completely flawless navigation? Shouldn't they be able to memorise procedures such as this like the back of their hands?
Well, he certainly couldn't.

Oh yes, Buzz Lightyear was currently deeply within a fierce battle with the 'Rubik's Cube'.

"Come on, come on, come on." Buzz urged towards the brightly coloured cube (that was seemingly so much of a rainbow that it strained his eyes slightly) as he racked his mind for any possible move he could perform next; just one possible move that would lead him to solving one single row. Was that asking too much?

Apparently, he actually was asking for too much because, when he had two pieces matched against each other, he'd somehow divide them apart whilst looking for a third to complete the row and one of the pieces (the colour didn't particularily matter, but Buzz favoured the green) would miraculously end up on the completely opposite side of the cube. And boy did this frustrate the Space Ranger beyond an extent he had once thought of as unimaginable!

During these moments, the sensations Buzz felt ranged vastly like a Kaliedoscope of subtle, blurry colours that just refused to make themselves noticed during the brim of twilight; one moment he felt completely defeated - one feeling that a Space Ranger 'never' wanted to encounter (especially after his enconter in the incinerator around eight months or so back. Even this very thought made Buzz want to shiver all over as the chills darted down his metaphorical spine: Otherwise known at the battery compartment); and the next he was as determined as ever. He had to overcome the Rubik's cube! His mortal - immortal really - enemy!

If he didn't win this battle now, then he'll never beat it. And, if this was the case, it'd only tear at his mind to an extent where he'd rather find a hammer and beat the cube to Smithereens in order to achieve a brief moment of pure relief from the absolute frustration. At one moment or the other, he had actually almost found himself standing up from his position in order to do so. However, he quickly decided against this and overcame the o' so attempting urge to just smash the cube until he had beaten the hell out of it. And maybe this will allow the cube to fly off into heaven instead of going to a Rubik's Cube 'Hell' along with all the other 'evil' Rubik's cubes.

At his last thought, Buzz suddenly stopped in his tracks and lifted his head to longingly gaze out of the window from her hunkering position on Bonnie's desk. His eyes scanned the vast area of the sky for a few moments, as if scanning for another source of life whilst he remained deeply within his own mental hell-hole, and he couldn't help but let out a huge sigh of utter depression when his eyes came across a gliding pigeon.

It darted through the air as if it didn't have a care in the world, as though its life was no more than completely flawless.

'Of course it is!' Buzz mentally exclaimed out of what must have been pure and absolute frustration over the fact that he just couldn't solve the damn Rubik's Cube! 'They don't have a Rubik's Cube to solve...'

However, little did the Space Ranger understand that the birds had a better off chance at solving the Cube than the great, all mighty 'Buzz Lightyear' had. Of course they would have a far better of chance. Buzz was completely useless at this! In fact, he was most likely the worst player in the entire room.

After a few more useless attempts, Buzz slapped the cube down in frustration. Ugh! Why did it have to be so hard? Why couldn't it just be easy?

Seeming to notice Buzz's annoyance from the other side of the desk, where he had previously been watching an old western show of course, Woody instantly perched his head in the Space Ranger's direction, his broad smile seeming to widen when he caught the fulfilling glimpse of the Space Ranger in his frustration.

"That's not how you solve it!" Woody instantly pointed out in a sly remark as his plastic eyebrows arched in interest. This certainly would be interesting. "You're doing it all wrong. You have to match the sides to each centre piece before you continue."

What in the world...?

Snapping his head towards the toy Sheriff, Buzz folded his arms across his chest expectantly, as he sneered; currently acting very much like a five-year-old indeed.

"Okay then. If you're so 'smart' then how do you solve it?"

Woody's smirk widened as his eyes instantly brightened.

This was so going to be worth it.

"No! No! No!" Woody protested as he snatched the cube from Buzz's arms, seeming to struggle as he moved the rows individually. "The pieces have to cross the hall, wait for the elevator, cross it again, get in the elevator and take it up to the corner."

Buzz narrowed his eyes half-heartedly as the absolute confusion completely overwhelmed him. There was no way he could have even taken in any of that nonsense. It just didn't make any sense whatsoever!

"No, I'm not going to follow that."

However, Buzz was then struck with a plan.

Bonnie had two Rubik's cubes!

"Hey Woody!" Buzz urged as he interrupted Woody from his doze. "I did it!"

"Wha- What...?" Woody asked in a sleepy murmur as he yawned deeply.

For the Space Ranger's plan to work, Buzz had simply waited for the time where Woody would simply tire from watching Buzz's failed attempts to solve the cube and would eventually doze off into dreamland. And this was exactly what happened.

"Huh?" Woody asked in bafflement as he gazed at the cube within Buzz's arms. Buzz was actually right. It was complete! "How on Earth did you...?"

"Ah ha." Buzz urged as he tapped the end of his nose with one of his plastic fingers. "Spoilers. You'll have to figure out yourself Sheriff."

And with that said, Buzz was simply off within the fraction of a second.

However, Woody instantly knew that Buzz had cheated. And the Sheriff knew this because Buzz only ever quotes lines from TV shows when he's lying.

And Buzz totally ripped 'spoilers' from Doctor Who.

"Yeah. He cheated all right."

A/N Sorry, but I just couldn't help myself with the Doctor Who reference there :/

Buzz and Woody were most likely completely OOC in this chapter. So, sorry if they were!

Anyway, feel free to send a review or a suggestion if you want!
