It honestly wasn't Bonnie's fault, she had no idea that someone would accidently take her backpack after daycare with Woody and Captain still inside. When the other person opened the backpack on their way home and realized it wasn't theirs, they did the sensible thing by just leaving it at the side of the road and going back to get their own stuff. Both Cap and Woody made sure the coast was clear before walking out of the bag.

"Well, great." Woody tsked angrily as she tapped her hat impatiently.

"What should we do? Should we just stay with Bonnie's bag?" Cap asked, almost as soon as he had asked, the sound of the thunder boomed above them, they both looked up to see some very dark clouds coming in.

"...Well...You can, but I can't." She mumbled looking up fearfully at the clouds closing in. She started walking down the street at a fast pace.

"W-Wait!" Cap quickly rushed up to her following the toy closely, he looked up at the sky before asking, "What if Bonnie comes by and finds her bag without us in it? Wouldn't it be easier if we just go back to Sunnyside?"

Woody stopped suddenly, he almost bumped into her but managed to stop just in time. She then shook her head.

"If we make it back in time, it'll look like she just forgot us at home, she didn't get a chance to play with us today."

"Sunnyside is closer!"

"Bonnie's is safer."

"In what sense? Aren't the leaders your friends?"

Woody tensed up and just crossed her arms before shaking her head again.

"I...I don't want to go back there. Ok? Like I said, you can, but I'm going to Bonnie's." With that the cowgirl continued to walk along the deserted rode.

"Bah..." Cap groaned and followed her, the idea of her getting run over made him shudder, plus he was sure Buzz would rip his head off if Cap left Woody alone with a storm coming.

The thunder rolled again and Cap noticed that Woody seemed to pick up the pace.

"So you can't get wet? I didn't know you needed batteries."

"Really? The pull string wasn't a hint?" Woody laughed.

"Well, Its just there's no Velcro on your back."

"Which is why I'm hurrying! If I get wet and my voice box gets ruined there's no replacement. I'm an old toy Cap." She explained as lightening flashed across the sky before the thunder followed shortly.

"Car!" Cap yelled as he noted the bright headlights in the distance, both dropped to the ground and waited for the car to pass before getting back up. They walked a few more feet before Woody paused and looked up at a nearby tree.

"Hey, Cap, can you gimmie a boost?" She asked, Cap nodded, expecting her to put her foot on his hand, he got a surprise when she suddenly jumped up into his back and stood on his shoulders.

"Uh...Woody-"

"I do this all the time with Buzz, just hold still." She cut him off as she wobbled a bit on his shoulder. Doing as he was told, Cap held his breath as she reached up and managed to get a hold of the first branch of the tree. He had to admit, even though she wasn't an action figure, she sure was limber, he watched as she used her legs to wrap around the branch before using her lack of a spine to swing her upper body around and stand up fully on top of the branch. She stood there for a few seconds, before tsking out.

"I gotta get higher." She said and Cap felt his plastic go cold with slight fear.

"Do you need me to get up there?" He offered.

"No. I can reach this branch."

She jumped and managed to grab a hold of the higher up branch, Cap watched her use her upper body strength to climb up, once again, she stood and stared out.

"Ok I think I see Bonnie's house, its really not far from her-whoa!" She suddenly let out a scream as she slipped from the tree, Cap was quick in bringing his arms out to catch the cowgirl before she hit the ground, it wasn't necessary as her pull string caught on the bottom branch. They both just looked at each other as she slowly retracted up by her pull string. and her voice box spoke.

There's a snake in my boot!

She merely sighed out at this as she dangled there from the branch. He watched with bewildered amusement as she ran her hand down her face and groaned out.

"Keep your arms out, please." She told Cap, he watched as she reached up and shimmied the plastic ring off of the branch, she then dropped like a sack of potatoes, Cap was quick to catch her. Now, he could of easily caught her in the bridal way, but wanting a rather perverted excuse to be just a bit closer to her, Cap managed to catch her vertically. His arms around her waist as he held her close.

"...Cap...You can put me down now." She awkwardly told him. Realizing he had been holding her a bit too long, he gently put her down on the ground. She wiped her jeans off and nodded.

"This way." Was all she said pointing towards the way home. Cap nodded and followed her, still, as they walked he looks at her and smiled, maybe now he could make his move.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have pretty hair?"

She turned and looked at him, her eyes slightly narrowed, he watched as she seemed to be reading him. She then pursed her lips to the side before adding a slight,

"Thanks."

"I'm serious. I mean, I don't see many toys with yarn hair."

"It's hard to take care of, plus after years it tends to...wear out and falloff or tear...or fray..." She sighed and shook her head, she put her hand to her hat then started to tap her fingers against the brim of her hat.

The thunder rolled again and Woody stared up at the dark sky.

"As long as we hustle we'll be fine." Cap told her as he gently hurried the cowgirl along. Woody let out a soft breath as they walked along the street, the sun now gone as the almost black clouds covered it, making it seem like night had fell prematurely.

"Car." Woody observed and dropped to the ground, Cap followed suit, the car whizzed on by without a second to spare, they both sprang back up and continued down the road.

"Ms. Woody, if I may ask, your leadership skills are rather impressive. How is it that?"

"You make it sound like a woman can't be a leader." Woody accused him playfully, instantly he took a startled step back before trying to cover up his mistake, waving his arms frantically about.

"Nonononnononono, please don't take it like that! Oh geez that sounds bad now that I say it out loud. I mean. You have quite a lot to do, keeping the toy's in line, rescuing toy's, making sure everyone feels welcome. It's all so much for one toy and yet you do it no problem." He tried to make his statement better. He got a smirk in response.

"It's not just me, it's Buzz as well, and if it's not him, it's Jessie. It's everyone's job in all honesty, I just really make sure everything is in order and that everyone gets along. There really is nothing to it."

Cap continued to walk with her, she gave him a sly look from under her hat. If he had blood he'd be blushing so hard, something about that look just made his knees weak. The thunder rolled loud above them and Cap hurried along, not wanting it to seem obvious that he's staring at her.

"The one thing that's been on my mind, I feel like I need to ask you if I really want to know...You and Buzz?" He asked and She snickered before shaking her head.

"Ah, the question that almost every new toy asks."

There was a silence between the two of them as she seemed to finding the right words to say. After a bit more silence, she finally spoke back up,

"Yes. There's no point in hiding it. We were a couple, like fifteen maybe sixteen years ago."

Cap whistled and she laughed,

"Yeah, it's been a while. It's a long, long story, way too long to really explain it. Lets just leave it at, Buzz and I realized we're better off as friends and only friends."

Cap nodded along as he listened to Woody, he then clapped his hands together and sighed.

"It's funny how things really work out. huh?"

She chuckled at him and crossed her arms as a harsh wind went by them. Cap stopped suddenly and looked back up at the sky before shaking his head.

"There's no way we're going to outrun this storm. We need to find shelter." He pointed out, Woody went quiet then rubbed her hands together nervously.

"Look, there's a bridge just up a head, we could sit under that." Cap suggested as they approached the bridge, Woody frowned and watched as Cap started for the side of the bridge.

"C'mon." He offered his hand to her and smiled, he noticed the rather confused look on her face before she slowly accepted and took it. Cap felt her soft plastic hand and had to admit it was rather nice to be holding her hand. Slowly they carefully scaled down the rocky slope down towards under the bridge. Once under the makeshift shelter of the bridge, they heard the thunder one final time before the rain completely poured down, the bridge keeping them dry for the most part.

"Smart thinking." Woody complimented, making Cap smile at her. They both sat down, that was when Cap noticed the odd red string that didn't match with any of her other stitching.

"What's this." He asked gently touching the stiches. She jumped slightly at that and held her arm.

"I told you. I'm old...My arm tore, had to have stitches in. It's hard being old, a lot of my stitches are wearing out. " She told him a little defensively. Gently, Cap scooted a little closer to her, she eyed him a bit before smirking just a bit before looking over at the downpour. Cap watched as she huddled a little closer to him, clearly wanting to avoid the water. They sat like that for a while, neither of them saying anything as they just patiently for the rain to stop. Cap watched as Woody got so bored she took off her hat and started to run her plastic fingers along the brim of it.

Eventually, after the rain died down, she put her hat back on her head and cautiously poked her head from under the bridge. Still raining, it wasn't down pouring but it was raining hard enough for her to worry about her voice box. Cap suddenly smacked himself in the head as an idea hit.

"I'm a dummy! Here." Taking the shield off his back he held it above the female as a makeshift umbrella.

"Oh, Cap you're brilliant!" She smiled at him and the two headed off, Cap chasing behind her his arm out shielding her from the rain. Avoiding puddles, they both ran at an impressive speed somehow keeping up with one another. They continued to run till the rain picked up to the point that Cap's shield couldn't shield her from the rain, luckily they both found a park chess table and hid under it just in the nick of time.

"...It must be hard, being made out of cotton and wool." Cap said out of nowhere, making the cowgirl look at him puzzled. He quickly started to elaborate, "I mean, you can't get wet for multiple reasons, your stitches get worn, just stuff like that." He explained and she chuckled.

"Maybe so. However, I know for a fact that being made of all plastic has it's downs. If you fall from a high enough height you'll shatter and lose parts."

"That's true."

"Lets face it, every toy has problems, there isn't a perfect toy out there, one day you'll be perfectly fine, then you wake up the next day and you're being thrown away because something on you broke and it'll be easier for them to get a new toy than fix you." She sighed, he took a deep breath and scooted a little closer to her, he put his shield down on the ground in front of them. She suddenly leaned her head against his neck, making him take in a deep breath. Cap smiled softly and looked at the rain, it was starting to die down again.

"Shall we?" He asked with a smile, he then pointed to the outside, she nodded and stood. He grabbed his shield and held it over her once again, she grinned and the two of them were off once again.

Thankfully, they made it to Bonnie's home before Bonnie and her mom got back. They had to use the window as the front door was locked. Luckily Buzz was already by the window and happily helped them inside. Woody happily explained to the others why they couldn't wait for Bonnie. Eventually, Bonnie did come home, her soaking wet bag in her hand, she had clearly been crying, her mood changed the moment she saw Cap and Woody on her bed.

"MOM! YOU WERE RIGHT! I DIDN'T BRING THEM!" She squealed, hugging both them close to her little chest. Woody came to life briefly and smiled at Cap before going back to her natural state. Bonnie put them down and raced out with her backpack in her hands, probably going to try and dry out her bag.

Cap sighed out happily and looked over at Woody, the cowgirl now talking with Dolly and Mr. Pricklepants. Cap smiled to himself. He wanted to be with Woody more than anyone, he was going to find a way. Looking over at Buzz, and pursed his lips a bit to the side,

He was going to find a way, even if it means asking someone Woody dated before for advice.
