Cap looked over at Woody, the cowgirl was chatting happily with Bonnie's two new Christmas presents, a mermaid Barbie, the poor doll soon to be stuck in the bathtub with Bonnie's other bath toys, but for now she sat on Bonnie's bed, hands in her lap, the other toy was a ballerina princess Barbie hybrid, he was pretty sure it was Cinderella, the two toys listened contently as Woody explained the rules to them. Both the Barbie's seem to hold a sort of elegance and grace to them as they listened to the cowgirl.
Slowly, Cap climbed up the bed, Woody turned and smiled at him.
"Girls, this is Captain America." Woody introduced him, Both Barbie's waved at him and he was quick to add,
"Please, just call me Cap. Or if you really, really want to, Steve."
Woody nudged him and gave him a flirty smile,
"Really now? You never told any of us to call you Steve."
"You never asked if you could. That is my actual name after all. Oh, shh, don't tell my enemies." He laughed, it was enough to cause all three of the girls to giggle, well, at least it didn't bomb.
"Well, I'm Cinderella...Please, just call me Cindy." The ballerina Barbie smiled at him.
"I'm just...Barbie..." The other one frowned as she gently twitched her non-detachable tail, she seemed rather upset at that. Woody patted the mermaid's shoulder.
"Bonnie will most likely change your name."
The mermaid perked up at Woody and clasped her hands together,
"Really?" She asked hopefully.
"Oh yes, just give it a little time."
After a while it seemed that Woody needed to do something as she walked away she smiled at Cap, that cute smile still on her face.
"See you around, Steve." She winked, if he could blush, he would be, he would be blushing hard. The moment she jumped from the bed, Cindy spoke with a child like giggle,
"Oh my, she likes you."
"What?! No, no, no..." Shaking his head, he put his hands up in defense. "We're friends."
"Friends? I don't think I've ever seen friends be so...Flirty with one another." Barbie told him as she gently played with the end of her tail.
"Flir...No...Heavens no." His tone gave it all away, both girls giggled once more.
Cap couldn't help but laugh at his own denial, he was sure that at this point, everyone except Woody, knew of his hopeless crush. Even Raquelle made a comment on it before she left for home with Bonnie's cousin,
"Well, I'm hoping when I see you again you'll be together with that cowgirl that you like so much."
So it was that obvious, but he was Captain America, he shouldn't be having this problem.
He had walked away from the two dolls, in less then a second Jessie had come up behind them and put her arms around both of them and smiled deviously,
"I think I'm going to need y'all's help..."
Cap was quick to notice the lack of talking amongst all the toy's. Looking around Bonnie's room, he frowned when he couldn't find anyone.
"Guys?" He asked as he slowly walked around the girl's room. Confused as nobody seemed to be around.
"Hello?" He called out again. Crossing his arms he tapped his foot, where the did everyone go to? Opening up the door to the darkened hallway, he cautiously walked about, he knew that Bonnie and her mother were currently out for the time being, so, just what were the other toys doing?
Narrowing his eyes, he noted a dim light coming from in the bathroom. Knowing that toys don't really need use for restrooms, he opened the door, the sweet smell of vanilla and lavender hit him first, he took note of two lit candles sitting by the tub and raised an eyebrow.
"Hello?...Uhhh..." Hearing Woody's voice from the door way, he turned and they both shared a confused look with one another. "Uh...Wha-HEY!" The door behind Woody suddenly shut, she wasted no time, banging on the door.
"Hey! Open this door! GUYS!" There was a silence, when her friends didn't respond, she settled on giving the door a good kick with her boot. Seeing her get frustrated, Cap couldn't help but laugh at her, she turned and gave him a bitter look.
"Was this your idea?" She asked and he just put his hands up,
"Heavens no."
She gave a slight huff at this and puffed out her cheeks, before she could dwell too long on anything, a slow song started to play through the vent and she just rolled her eyes.
"Unfinished business!" Jessie yelled from the otherside of the door, Woody just held her hands out in a confused matter before yelling back to her friend,
"Unfin-..Jessie what are you talking about?!"
Cap knew what Jessie wanted and he wasn't going to give it to her, not now. Sitting down next to one of the candles, he heard Woody give the door another kick before sitting across from Cap, she seemed to be a bit more weary of the candles as she sat.
"I guess we're going to be here for a while." Woody laughed as she crossed her legs.
"Yeah. I guess we are." She sighed and turned her head back towards the door, the slow song changed and was replaced by another slow dance song. He noted how Woody started humming along to the song. It sounded old.
"Huh?" She suddenly stood up and raised an eyebrow as lights started to shine from the upper vents, it was clearly Christmas lights from the party, the lights then started to actually move down from the vents just far enough to give the bathroom a lovely shine.
"Why are they doing this?" Woody asked with a headshake. Cap kept his mouth shut as he watched the lights slowly dance around them almost in time with the slow music, in all honesty it was an almost perfect moment to dance, if Woody wasn't so angry that is.
The slow music got louder and Woody shook her head with a sigh.
"They can't keep us locked in here forever, Bonnie will find us before that happens." Cap laughed as he leaned against the bathtub, still weary of the candle.
"Yeah, and then Bonnie will wonder how we got in here and she'll put two and two together and our biggest secret will revealed-" She huffed angrily, only to stop suddenly when Cap took a risk and hugged her. She didn't fight him so that was a good thing.
"Please, just calm down. That's not going to happen, sure, she'll be confused but I'm pretty sure she won't jump to the conclusion that we can come alive."
He then broke away in fear of stepping over her boundaries. She pursed her lips to the side before softening her gaze and sitting down next to a lit candle.
"Yeah, you're right...Sorry, Bo." She laughed before rubbing the back of her head.
"What?"
There was a silence as she suddenly put her hands to her mouth in shock as she realized just what she said.
"I am so sorry." She gasped with a headshake. Cap opened his mouth to ask but he stopped when he saw her forlorn face. The song changed once more, Cap actually knew this song mainly because he heard Jessie and Woody listen to it on the occasion. Slowly, Cap stood, he had to do this, he wanted to do this and he was Captain America, being brave was part of the job, he offered her his hand, she looked up at him slightly confused. It was now or never.
"Seeing how we'll be in here for a while...Can I have this dance?"
She gave him an odd look.
Cap could of sworn he heard Trixie in the vent whisper 'do it.'
There was a moment of silence between the two, the only sound now being the music, time seemed to slow to a crawl as he waited, he felt fear slowly crawl down his plastic as the idea of being rejected started to play through his mind.
Finally, she took his hand and stood up.
"Well...I do like this song." She smiled and he sighed with relief. Carefully placing one hand on her shoulder and another hand on her waist, she did the same to him and slowly they danced around the bathroom. Cap had to admit she was pretty nimble on her feet as they swayed. He was a little more clunky when it came to dancing, but at least he didn't step on her toes. He watched as she rested her head on his chest as they danced, so he knew he must be doing something right. Her hat moved up as the rim was pushed against his hard plastic chest.
He looked down at her and smiled as he rested his head on top of hers, the whole moment was amazing, and honestly Cap wished it would of lasted longer, but all of a sudden the music stopped and the lights were reeled back up.
"Bonnie's back, blow out the candles." They heard Dolly whisper through the vent to them. They separated quickly, they both blew out each candle and stuffed them under the sink for the time being. The sound of foot steps coming their away caused both of them to drop limp to the ground. Bonnie came rushing in only to pause and pick the two of them up.
"Huh?..." Was all she said before shrugging and placing them on the sink's counter. After she did what she needed to do, collected the two of them and placed them back in her room. Putting both of them on the bed, she smiled before turning her heel and walking back out of her room, probably to speak to her mom. With the door still open, no toys dared to move.
"Yay! Movie marathon!" They heard Bonnie yell from the other room.
"A dance and a movie. Sounds fun." Woody whispered to Cap quickly before going back to her natural state. Cap would of responded but Bonnie can rushing back in to collect all of her toys. When in her arms, Woody gave Cap a wink. Cap only had one nervous thought rush into his mind at the moment,
'I love her...'
Cap had force himself to calm down before he'd accidently start moving in Bonnie's arms. There was no way he could possible be in love with her, it was just a crush, he keep telling himself that, just a crush.
Right?
