It was a lovely, peaceful day and all of the toys were looking forward to a glorious day of relief and having fun, since Woody and Buzz had declared the okay that there didn't seem to be any immediate threats to their safety. Bonnie was at daycare, but immediately afterwords, she'd be traveling with her parents on a two-day business trip of her dad's. She was taking Dolly, Pricklepants, Mrs. Potato head, and Hamm her piggy bank with her. This meant that her other toys would have the house to themselves. Bonnie usually brought Woody with her on her special outings, which he relished in being with his sweet, adorable mistress. But this time, she left him at home. She did, however, promise to take him on the next one! That was okay though, he had many plans for their two-day spree.

It had been a week since since Sgt. Matthew and his band had first presented themselves to Woody, Buzz, and the gang. Though Bonnie's toys still didn't trust the Falcon, or Fal as Matthew called him, they kept a sharp eye on him if he showed up. But today they didn't have to worry about that because Matthew's owner was out for the day with his toys. Woody and Buzz informed the guys that as of tonight, since nothing chaotic had happened since they'd met, that they would be relieved from guard duty, to which they were all very grateful, especially Buttercup and Potato Head. So, all of Bonnie's toys spent the day relaxing. It was so good to mingle around without worrying about being spied on.

That afternoon, Bonnie packed her selected toys into her bag and saying a sweet good-bye to her others who would be staying home, rushed out the door when her parents said it was time to go. Woody and the others waved then jumped back into routine. Totoro was going to watch the 'kids' so that Potato Head wouldn't be completely swamped with that responsibility.

Whether night or day, the toys enjoyed playing Hide-and-Seek outside, where they could really be sneaky. That's what Rex, Peas-in-the-Pod, Mitsy, and Totoro were doing at this time in the late afternoon. Mitsy was 'it' and decided to investigate near the trash cans on the curb. A beckoning voice caught her ear as she came closer. "Psst! Your Highness? Over here!" It said, sounding muffled.

"Peas?" Mitsy questioned, stepping toward the voice with a curious face. "You're not supposed to tell me your hiding place!"

"Over here. Hee, hee, hee." Mitsy stepped closer to the shadows, intrigued when something grabbed her and covered her mouth! She was whisked away underneath a nearby car parked across the street. A hideous figure pinned her hard on her back on the gravel, sitting on top of her. What kind of toy this was, she couldn't make out except that he was disguised in black, plastic armor with a matching cape, plus, he seemed to only have one eye! It was a yellow, evil eye which sent shivers down her cotton spine. Mitsy struggled to try to push him away and twist his legs out from under him like Buzz had taught her in self-defense, but the thug pinned her arm down hard and she could barely move her legs. "You're coming with me, Princess," the toy ordered. "You make a sound, and I'll tape the first friend rushing after you to the road, right in the car wheels' path! You read me?"

Mitsy was horrified and frightened. She looked up pleadingly at the monster who had her down on the ground and still covered her mouth. "Don't!" She begged in a muffled voice, squirming underneath him.

"You come with me, and no funny business!" he ordered. Then he stood up, grabbing her and scurried away. She struggled against his grip and but he was stronger than her and he was preventing her from calling out for help. And she couldn't bite his hand because it was shielded in a plastic glove.
