*Alright guys, here it is! The sequel to 'My Little Rose'! This one is set after TS3 with the gang living with Bonnie and her toys. Like I said, I am tweaking some of the chapters, but here is the first one just to get it started. Do not read unless you have read 'My little rose' first! Enjoy!*

Woody was close, so close to catching up to the car. He ran as fast as he could, the rain pelting his body like cold daggers. He looked up and saw Bo pounding her hands on the glass, her face terrified.

"Woody!" She yelled.

"Hang on, Bo!" He yelled back. He ran and jumped onto the bumper, trying to hang on, but the car hit another pothole and Woody fell off. Hitting the pavement, he rolled into a puddle of water. He hissed in pain and looked up just as the car went off a ramp and onto the highway. "No! Bo Peep!"

Woody's eyes snapped open as he woke up from his nap. Five years had passed since he lost his beloved wife. He and his toy family had gone through a lot since then: they were donated to a daycare called Sunnyside where they were tortured by a bear named Lotso; they were almost burned to death in a furnace, reunited with Andy, and then donated again to a little girl named Bonnie Anderson after Andy went away to college. They have been living with Bonnie for two years now and have all fit in well with her toys. Though he was happy to be with another kid and have new additions to the family, the cowboy missed his wife most of all. He hoped that wherever she was, she was happy, but he wished that she was back with him and their adoptive daughter, Rosetta. He looked down on the floor and saw her playing with Slinky. Though she still resembled a small ten year old girl, she had matured mentally over the years. Whenever he looked at her, he thought of his wife, for the two were so similar. Rosetta saw her dad looking at her, smiled, and started walking towards the window.

"Good morning dad." She said, climbing onto the windowsill.

"Good morning sweetheart." Woody said, kissing her forehead.

"Jessie was looking for you earlier. Should I tell her you're awake now?"

"No, no. That's okay, I'll find her later. Actually, I have something for you, Happy Birthday, sweetheart." He handed her a small box. She took it, lifted the top and gasped.

"It's mom's necklace. She said quietly. You gave her this on your wedding day. I don't understand. Why are you giving this to me?" Woody took it from her smiling.

"The night before the yard sale, she gave it back to me and told me, when the time was right, to pass it over to you. He said, placing it around her neck. She said, 'Tell her to wear it and to think of me, so that she knows that I'm always with her.'"

"She knew she was going to be sold, didn't she?"

"She did, yes. I knew it too, but I didn't want to believe it. Honestly I didn't think there would be a day where I had to say goodbye to her." Woody pulled his knees to his chest. Rosetta sat up, eyeing her father.

"You had the dream again, didn't you dad? Where you're chasing the car?"

"I get so close, but the rain makes it hard to keep up. When I get onto the bumper, I feel excited, but the car hits a pothole and I hit the pavement again. Every time I think about that day, I hate myself a little more, because I failed to protect her." Rose stood up and hugged her father from behind.

"You didn't fail her, daddy. You did all that you could to get her back. I know it, Buzz and the others know it, and mom knows it. We all know how much you love this family, dad. Heck, we saw it when we were trapped at Sunnyside two years ago. Remember what you always told me? Family is…"

"Forever, that's right." Woody grabbed his daughter's hands. "We'll see mom again, little one. Someday, I just know it." He tightened his grip on her hand and Rosetta leaned on his shoulder.

"You know what we need, daddy? We need to dance it out. And I got the perfect song." She ran to the radio and a song called "Better when I'm dancing" came on. The little girl started jumping and dancing around on the floor. "Dance with me, daddy." She said, waving at him. Woody smiled and shook his head, and then jumped down beside his daughter and started to dance.

Show the world you got that fire, feel the rhythm getting louder, show the world what you can do, prove to them you got the moves, I don't know about you, but I feel better when I'm dancing, yeah yeah, better when I'm dancing. We can do this together; bet you feel better when you're dancing, yeah yeah.

Woody and Rosetta laughed and danced until the song ended. Woody bent down beside her and placed a hand on her cheek.

"Thank you sweetheart, I needed that." He said.

"It was worth it; I got to see you smile again. I love you, dad."

"I love you too, Rose."

"Hey Woody, I need to talk to you." Jessie called.

"Be there in a minute, Jess. Come on honey; let's go see what she wants." Woody said and the two walked off hand in hand. Little did they know that outside in the bushes, someone was watching them. They chuckled softly and ran off into the night.

*Okay! There's the first chapter! It's short, but heartwarming. Don't worry, it will get better!*
