Woody's Origin- Part 5: Dave's Delimma

Woody was the last piece of merchandise created for the dead show "Woody's Roundup". A former employee of the toy factory took him home and donated him to a local daycare.

Woody unintentionally took command of the daycare, much to the dismay of Dave. a new kid in the class, Andrew, grew to love Woody but came in crying one day after a mysterious incident.

turns out dave had a child of his own that moved away and it put Dave into a depressive funk. He helped Woody find the paperwork that would give Andrews new address.

Dave tricked Woody and snuck away in Andrew's bookbag before Woody could get to him. after a long search for Andrew, Woody was eventually found by Andrew's family at a local thrift store. Both Dave and Woody ended up in Andrew's playroom.

Part 5:

The anticipation and fear fell like a thick blanket across the town. A slight breeze would occasionally blow a tumbleweed down the street as well as push some of the curtains back just enough to see terrified eyes hiding behind them. The soft clomp of boots stepped in determined rhythm soon joined by the gentle, piercing chink of spurs.

On one end was a fur trapper. He was holding his rifle down to his side with the barrel pointed to the ground. The gentle breeze blew the tail of his coonskin cap over his left shoulder. His squinted eyes turned up towards his opponent.

A sigh of relief was betrayed from the saloon when the local sheriff walked from the other side. His hands rested at his sides. He was wearing a poncho that blew off to one shoulder revealing a golden badge and concealing the weapon that the hero brought.

“This is the end of the line for you bootstrap Jake!” shouted the sheriff.

The fur trapper cracked a grin across his face.

“You’d like to hope so, wouldn’t you sheriff. This town isn’t big enough for two of us”. Said the trapper.

The sheriff’s eyes widened.

“You were the one who poisoned the water hole. Aren’t you?”

“Guilty as charged cowboy!” the trapper grabbed his gun with both hands. In a more ready position. “Now let’s just get this over with”.

“I’m taking you in Bootstrap.”

The anticipation thickened. The world seemed to move slower as the clock tower struck 12. The trapper lifted his rifle and Woody produced a bullwhip from his side. A shot fired, but Woody expected this. The cowboy leaped to the side as the bullwhip came alive, striking the rifle out of the villain’s hands. The trapper clutched his hand and took a step back. A springing noise exploded suddenly and a rope pulled the bad guy into a hanging upside-down position.

“You’re going to jail.” Said the sheriff.

“I don’t think so sheriff!” the bandit reached into his jacket and pulled out a machete. He cut down the rope.

“Now Sheriff, I am going …

“Andrew! Time for dinner!”

Playtime was cut short by Mrs. Davis calling in from the other room.

“Coming mom” said Andrew and he dropped his toys and ran into the kitchen.

“Did you clean up your toys?” asked his mom. Andrew walked back into the room, placed Dave and the rest of his toys in a toy box. Woody was placed on the bed. Andrew walked back into the kitchen and closed the door behind him.

Woody got up from the bed and tiptoed slowly towards the toy box. He knocked three times and the box opened. The toys got out and started walking around.

It seems that toys place emphasis and merit on how well they
do in playtime. This is the reason Pricklepants believed Woody
must have been classically trained because of how when he
arrived in Bonnies imagination, all the problems got solved.

“Wow Woody that was some impressive work you did in catching the bad guy!” said one of the toys.

“Yeah, I was pretty scared that time. I wasn’t sure if you were going to make It.” responded another.

“Ok, ok, calm down. We all know Andrew wouldn’t let anything happen to me.” Said Woody. “That was probably one of my favorite playtimes, though”.

Dave chimed in from the back “yeah, well how about my performance? I did some cool things there, right?”

The toys continued to congratulate Woody on his job well done. Dave just slipped back into the toy box.

That night, Andrew came back in and got the game back together. He grabbed Woody and all the other toys in the toy box. He looked at the bottom to see Dave in the box. Andrew contemplated for a minute but ultimately decided to leave Dave. He didn’t need him this time around.

That night, Andrew went to bed and all the toys went to sleep. The coast was clear. Dave slowly creaked open the toy box and walked out the door.

The next morning, Andrew was finishing up some homework when he realized that he never did finish the fight between Woody and Bootstrap Jake. He stood up to leave.

“Andrew? Have you finished your homework?” called mom from the kitchen

“Not yet mom. I’ll do it later”.

“You’ll do it now”.

“But I have to finish the fight between Woody and Bootstrap!”

Woody heard that and hopped right into action.

“Alright, you know the drill guys. Is everyone here?”

Woody counted all the toys, but Dave was missing. All the toys started searching for him in vain. A couple minutes later and Andrew comes into the room. He grabs Woody, sets all the toys in their respective spots, and chooses Combat Carl to be bootstrap without a second thought.

That evening, while Andrew was having dinner, Woody and the toys continued their search. A sticky note was found behind the toy box.

“I know no one cares, but I felt like fi there were any questions that there should be some kind of answer. Don’t want to inconvenience anyone. I have left. I’m heading towards the river where I will jump in. goodbye”.

Woody and the toys were shocked. Dave was purposely breaking himself. No one knew how unwanted he felt.

GI Joe was a popular toy at the time this story takes place.

a way!

“Alright gang, we can’t let this happen. Does anyone know where the river is?” asked Woody.

“I have a map that I’ve been hiding under the bed!” said a Combat Carl. “I also have a jeep that will take you there”.

“Thanks, Carl”

“I can also provide my assistance in person”.

Woody contemplated the offer for a moment.

“I think it’s best if I go alone. This is a delicate situation.”

The other toys agreed and Woody hopped into the jeep. Woody put the car in neutral, quietly pushed it towards the front door, and drove out through the cracked door into the summer evening.

Will Woody get to Dave in time? Stay tuned for the answer!
