"Ow! Whose stepping on my hoof?!" Buttercup yelled in the darkness of the closet, he was met with Slinky's short reply of.
"Sorry. I sometimes have trouble with my hind."
"Why are we in the closet?" Mrs. Potato head questioned as she desperately felt around for her husband. Her hand met with something round and she was met with fits of familiar child like giggles.
"Ah! Someone's on my tail!" Rex exclaimed.
"Sorry!" Hamm apologized loudly.
"Hamm! Are you on my tail?!" Trixie asked.
"Oh my, I do apologize." Pricklepants interjected
"Everyone quiet! we need to talk about something important!" They heard Jessie say, the cowgirl kicked on a flashlight nearly blinding everyone. Mrs. Potato head looked down at the three peas in a pod and apologized before meeting with her husband. Everyone quickly made enough room for each other. Jessie stood in the center of everyone a large smile on her face.
"Hey, if this is important then how come Woody isn't here?" Slinky asked, everyone nodded with agreement.
"Because this is about her! And we can't have her, Buzz, or Cap knowing."
"Oh no..." Mr. Potato head instantly slapped his face with his hand and just shook his head. "Jessie, please tell us you aren't playing matchmaker again?" He asked sounding almost despite.
"Again?" Dolly questioned, her hands on her hips.
"She tried to hook Woody up with one of Molly's Ken's...It didn't end to well seeing how that Ken had a Barbie of his own, woo boy, the moment that Barbie saw him with Woody. Lets just say there was a lot of hair pulling and name calling." Hamm explained with a headshake.
"I could of sworn that that Ken liked Woody." Jessie bit back to the piggybank.
"All he did was ask Woody if she could get Buster out of Molly's room." Mr. Potato head told her and Mrs. Potato head whispered to Dolly,
"Buzz had to separate Barbie and Woody. Woody wasn't even fighting back, she was just trying to get her hair out of Barbie's grip."
"Ok! I messed up!" Jessie scoffed.
"Wait, this isn't the Barbie at Sunnyside is it?" Trixie asked and everyone shook their heads to this.
"No, this was some swimsuit model Barbie. She got sold at a yard sell."
"Ok! Enough on the Barbie! I'm being serious here!" Jessie yelled stomping her foot to get everyone attention. Pointing her fingers up in thought, she continued in a softer tone, "Unlike Ken, I can tell you for a fact that Cap likes Woody. Like for real has a crush on her."
"That's what you said about the Ken doll..." Mr. Potato head whispered rubbing his mustache.
"I'm serious! Buzz told me! Cap walked up to him twice and asked if there was anyone was with Woody, AND, he asked for advice!" She excitedly exclaimed.
"Asking advice from Buzz? Whew boy, How do you think that went? First you to need to find a way to fly because that's how I got her to kiss me. Then you need to constantly go on and off with the relationship." Hamm teased, he laughed but then went quiet when Jessie glared at him.
"As I was saying. Cap clearly likes her. So, I propose this, with Christmas coming up just around the corner, Bonnie is going to be going the next state to her grandparents, she can't bring any of us because of something about her cousins uhhh...Setting her toy's on fire last year... Why don't we make a faux party? You know have some music just a nice little get together."
Several toys nodded the idea of a nice little party did sound fun.
"Ok...Then how do we get Cap and Woody together? I mean if Cap is too shy to speak to her about it directly, and Woody is probably obvious about the whole thing..." Mrs. Potato head started and Jessie smiled,
"That's the best part. Nobody dances with Woody at all. Over time, Cap will see it and eventually step in, then, when we play a nice slow song, Cap will finally say how he feels and boom. Woody won't be so lonely anymore!"
"Oh that does sound romantic..." Trixie's voice fluttered as she thought about it, several toys nodded the idea actually sounding like a good plan.
"Everyone on board? Yes? Good! Now to plan. Pricklepants, I need you to find the most lovey dovey music online!" Jessie pointed to the hedgehog, who nodded in return. She then went to Trixie,
"You and Rex are in charge of decorations! Make it Christmassy, but...nice and romantic at the same time." They both looked at each other and happily stomped their paws in glee,
"Mr. and Mrs. Potato head, I don't really have anything for you guys now, but during the party, if you guys could possible be the uhh...ones to discourage any stray toys from dancing with Woody at the party that'd be perfect."
"Wait? If all of us our here, except for Buzz, then who's gonna want to dance with Woody, That's not cap I mean?" Mr. Potato head questioned and Jessie nervously twirled her braid.
"Well...Uh...I might of over heard Bonnie's mom saying that some of Bonnie's cousins, that aren't the fire starters, are staying here before the road trip and coming back, so they might bring their own toys and leave them here for the time being."
"Oh, joy..." Mr. Potato head groaned.
Everyone had a job to do, if it wasn't immediate it was for the upcoming party, it honestly sounded like a swell idea, however Slinky still had a question, almost an hour later when the meeting finally ended, Slinky walked up to Jessie.
"Why aren't we telling Buzz? I mean, if he see's Woody just sitting all lonely while everyone else dances you know he'll-" Slinky started but Jessie cut him off.
"Don't worry, I'm going to tell him." She reassured him with a pat on the head. When he walked away with a satisfied nod, she secretly added,
"...The day of the party, can't have him telling Woody before hand."
Ok, so yeah I'm kinda ending it here because I want to split this up into to maybe three parts. It'd be something like, this chapter, the party, and the aftermath. Also I know its nowhere near Christmas. I just needed a holiday where cousins were going to come over and what not and bring other toys, that's why I didn't chose the more obvious choice of valentines day.
