Love ya, Sally. <3 --
The moment it was safe for Jessie to unfreeze, she scrambled to her feet and nearly tripped out of Bonnie's luggage. She hated the dark, always would - and even if she knew in her heart that Bonnie would be taking her out soon ... so soon, in fact, it'd only be a safe trip away. Not for years or generations, as her previous owners had.
She still hated the dark.
It was summer vacation, and Bonnie's family was going on a trip to Disneyland for a few weeks, where Bonnie would continue to stay with her cousins for the better part of the summer. Dolly had informed them of this, that one toy would be chosen - Bonnie's parents disliked the idea of carting around dozens of toys all summer. They were always bound to get lost, and every toy would agree that it's better to avoid leaving the safety of the room.
This year, Jessie was chosen - a recent favorite, but a loving friend to Bonnie. Jessie was excited at the prospect - Woody had told her stories of the years he and Andy would go to Cowboy Camp. Schmoes, and campfire songs and stories. It always seemed like fun, even if she was not specifically going to a camp. For years, Jessie would dream of spending quality time like that with Emily.
But now she was in the dark, and she was terrified. No, that's wrong- she had been terrified for a while now. She had consulted Woody .. who insisted the entire thing would be perfectly fine. Nothing could go wrong.
Jessie thought back to that moment, sitting on the window ledge the night before, and discussing these things with her dear friend Woody. The one moment his whole expression changed, was as she muttered the name, 'Bo'.
"How did you feel about having to leave Bo?"
Woody was still, and his eyes filled with sadness. Jessie immediately regretted bringing it up, but she knew - she knew he of all people would understand. Woody leaned in closely, "I'm a cowboy. We always have to ride into the sunset, and Bo expected that. But she always knew I was coming back," he paused, "I .. never expected that she'd be the one to be gone ... when I returned."

Jessie sighed, thinking about that moment, which brought further fears into her heart than she cared to admit. She plopped onto the floor, hugged her knees to her forehead and began to inhale deeply.
"Hey," a soft voice whispered from above. She looked past her hat and her soggy tears to see her space ranger. He extended his hand down, and she looked at it for a thoughtful moment before taking it and allowing herself to be lifted. She instantly sprung into his embrace, and he held her tightly.
"I'm so scared, Buzz," she muffled into his suit.
He held her tightly, "Bonnie will take care of you," but Jessie shook her head discouragingly.
"What if I'm lost? Or something happens to you? What if .. what if ...," she pulled herself further into his arms.
Buzz was never the best with words, he always felt bashful in front of Jessie - even when they finally started dating. He was always thoughtful about his words, but constantly felt like he was flubbing them up. Right now he knew he had to say the right thing, but as usual - words were failing this space ranger.
Jessie continued to mumble, "Maybe if I hide under the bed, just deep enough, Bonnie will have to take another toy. Maybe she'll change her mind in the morning and want to take Dolly instead. It's still possible .. I'd bet my hat on it that I could figure a way out of this! No girl is going to keep me away from .."
"Jessie," he softly responded, knowing it was enough to keep her quiet, "Remember .. remember Emily?"
Her eyes narrowed, this wasn't about girls, this was about their relationship.
He held up his hand, "I know, I know - stay with me. You would have given anything up .. to see Emily again. To spend time with her. You need to do this - you never really had the ability to spend time with Andy, not as much as Woody and I did. And his sister always focused on Barbie. This - may be our big chance. To spend some quality time with Bonnie. To make some memories for her. Because .. next year .. maybe she'll be interested in another toy, or maybe she'll be addicted to the internet."
Jessie's eyes grew pained, she knew Buzz was right, but she hated that he was suggesting that she needed to be away from him.
Her eyes narrowed this time, "Can't ya'll get it in your head, I'm afraid of being away from you?!"
"Now Jessie .." "All my life, my owners enjoy me - then trash me. They leave me. Every generation. And in all the lives I've been with, I've NEVER met another toy I wanted to spend the rest of my existence with. And here I am, over the SASPARILLA MOON in LOVE with a SPACE RANGER, of all things. Here I am - and he's trying to split us-"
Her rant was cut off by a deep kiss, one that caused anger, before she melted into his plastic arms. She tugged his neck with a bit of frustration, as though to make a point - while still managing to pull him deeper.
Buzz pulled back, and they simply stood there - trying to read each others faces.
"I know - I know you're scared. Believe me, I don't want to be away from you, anymore than you want to be away from me. But we are going to be fine. I'm not going to disappear, you're not going to get lost. When you get back - you can tell me all about your adventures. And while we are apart ... we'll have adventures here too. And we'll have so much fun, we won't even notice. We might feel lonely once in a while .. but you can look up into the sky - and remember that I'm flying around, looking out for you. I promise. Space Ranger's honor."
For the first time in a while, Jessie smiled in response, she pulled him in for another kiss before whispering, "You just want me to bring you back a souvenir."

D'aww, this is really sweet. <3
I hope the OP loves this because it's lovely and sweet and beautiful and touching and I adore: "All my life, my owners enjoy me - then trash me. They leave me. Every generation.

AND THEN HE SHUTS HER UP BY KISSING HER. YES.
