Upon returning to Bonnie's bedroom in the late afternoon, Woody expected her to open her doll house and place her new toy pieces inside. Which is why he was surprised when she dropped him, along with the small furniture, on the bed.

Grabbing some old Christmas wrapping paper and safety scissors, Bonnie plopped herself on the floor out of view. For a few minutes all the Cowboy could hear was snip snipping as she cut something out. Then he was being hoisted up again.

Bonnie had opened one of the cabinets under her shelf. Now she stuck the new doll furniture inside, arranging and rearranging it until she liked what she saw. "This is your new home!" She placed Woody inside on the little red and brown couch. There was an LED light pasted nearby and she pressed it on and off. "Tada!"

As she disappeared for a moment, Woody took the opportunity to quickly look around. He could see she had taped paper stars and hearts cut from the Christmas wrap to the other side of the cabinet. There was a toy stove next to the sofa arm and a bed was pushed against the far wall.

Bonnie ducked back down, placing Bo inside and Bullseye, Buttercup, and Bo's sheep outside the cabinet door. "This is your ranch on the alone prairie!" She grabbed Trixie. "But you gotta watch out for the Dragon!" She waved her over the animal toys. "She eats horses and sheep! Rarrr!"

Making Bo hop, she cried in a high voice, "'No Woody, stop the Dragon or I won't be able to spin my sheep's wool into cotton candy!'"

From somewhere in the house a doorbell rang. "Bonnie, dinner's here."

She jumped up in delight, closing the cabinet as she did. "Yay, Mom ordered gyros!" Racing out of the room, she called over her shoulder, "See you after dinner, Toys!"

The cabinet was almost completely pitch black save for tiny cracks of light filtering in from the outside. Woody couldn't even see his own hand in front of his face. Suddenly the LED light clicked on. "Oh! Thanks, Bo!"

"Well I do know how to get around in the dark." She took a seat by him on the sofa and looked around. "Isn't this cute?"

He smiled and sat back. "Charming."

"It's almost like a little cabin. Look at that adorable old fashioned stove."

"They call that a Franklin stove if I remember rightly."

Slyly, she reached up and ran her fingers up and down his collar. "I like the bed too." He couldn't help but grin awkwardly. "I just wish the night light was a little brighter. I could bring a book in here and read."

"All you have to do is open the cabinet door."

Bo frowned. Touching her eyes delicately she said, "Well, it wouldn't completely help…"

Woody knit his brow in concern. Bo had gotten her eyesight back, it was true, but it hadn't been an entirely flawless transition. It had taken her awhile to get used to seeing again, and even then…"I'll read to you if you have trouble."

Bo smiled and patted his cheek. "You are the sweetest husband I could ask for." With a sigh, she leaned against him. "Just a little nearsightedness, that's all."

As he slung his arm around her, he once again looked around the cabinet. "Think Bonnie will make this permanent?"

"Mmm, wouldn't that be nice? Our own place."

"You don't mind the size, do you?"

"What?" She looked up at him. "Why would I?"

"Oh well, Buzz and Jessie have a big old doll house with lots of rooms. A one roomed cabinet doesn't exactly…"

Suddenly her arms wrapped around his neck and she pulled him down on top of her. "Silly," she said. "You're here, aren't you?"

"Yeah…"

"And I'm here."

"Uh huh…"

"So," she said. "Feels like home to me."

Woody gazed down at her adoringly, caressing her white porcelain cheek. "All the way back where you come from?"

"Where I belong." She placed a hand on his belt buckle…

There was a loud rapping on the cabinet door, causing Woody to jump off of Bo. "What…Who…"

"Housewarming!"

"Housewarming?" He shot a confused look at Bo, who shrugged. Standing up, he made his way to the door and pushed it open. "Buzz? Jessie?"

Jessie was grinning as she and Buzz stood outside the cabinet. "Congratulations on your new place!" she said. "I brought you a gift!"

"Oh! Jessie, that's so nice but you shouldn't…" He stopped short as Jessie held up Snowball, who had a shiny Christmas bow stuck to his furry white top.

"It's a critter!"

"Merry Housewarming-mas," said Snowball.

Woody folded his arms. "Jessie, I am not accepting Snowball as a gift."

"C'mon, every home should have a critter!" Without waiting she handed Snowball over and made her way inside, Buzz following behind her. Woody sighed and started to close the door…

Jessie spun around as the hinges creaked. Her bottle green eyes widened. "Uh, could you leave it open? I don't…I mean…"

The Cowboy cringed. "Oh, sorry Jessie. Yeah, yeah I'll keep it open."

"Great!" Standing in front of the bed, she hugged herself and fell backwards onto the thin mattress. "Mmm, mmm! Cozy!" Buzz sat down next to her as she sat up, grabbing her legs and folding them under her.

"I guess we'll have to come here sometime for coffee," said Buzz.

As Snowball crawled up on the sofa next to Bo, she said, "We don't have cups but we do have a stove. Maybe one night I can make us a nice soufflé."

"Then we'll bring the coffee cups and the plates!" Jessie said brightly.

Woody took his spot on the opposite side of Snowball. "So what do you guys do in your home?"

Buzz turned red and Jessie began to laugh. "Besides that!" Woody snapped.

Giggling, Jessie wiped her eye. "We play hide and seek sometimes."

"Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen in here."

Bo linked her arm through Woody's. Resting her head on his shoulder she murmured, "Sometimes it's just nice to be together, even if you're doing nothing at all."

Jessie placed her hand on her heart. "Awww, if you two just ain't the…"

There was a snore and everyone looked at the couch. Snowball had fallen asleep. Jessie began to laugh. Buzz and Bo joined in and soon Woody was guffawing as well.

The clock read 10:01. Bonnie was snuggled under her comforter, and judging by the smile on her face, Woody guessed she was having one heck of a good dream. Sitting up, he patted her shoulder lightly. "See you in the morning, Bon." Jumping off the bed, he made his way to the cabinet across the room.

As the Cowboy reached up to touch the brass knob, the door suddenly opened. "Welcome home, Sheriff Woody. I've already turned down the bed."

Woody grinned as Bo's crook latched around his neck and pulled him inside, the cabinet door swinging shut behind them.
