When you got to the top of the RV, you saw Woody sulking over to Buzz. He bore a blank expression of disheartened conflict. He refused to meet Buzz's gaze as he stood before him weakly. "Buzz, I.... I...." He fumbled over his words, trying to figure out just about anything.

"She'll be okay." Buzz's voice was soft as he nodded reassuringly. Woody let out a rough sigh as he slowly looked up at his friend with a hurt expression, and you felt your heart clench when you heard Buzz specify, "Bonnie will be okay."

The cowboy's expression widened in shock. "....You sure?"

Buzz sent the Sheriff a bittersweet smile as he said, "Hey. Listen to your inner voice."

A small smile of gracious thanks began to appear on Woody's face. You watched as his smile grew bigger as he turned around to face Bo, which she took a second to process as her eyes slightly widened in realization. The cowboy made no further hesitation upon seeing her reaction, and the two began to run towards each other across the awning.

The moment Bo leaped towards Woody was when something snapped within you. As he swiftly caught her in her arms, spinning her around repeatedly as they tightly clung to one another, you finally figured it out. Reality came crashing down around you, piercing right through your aching heart, and the blow was almost too unbearable. This was heartbreak.

Again, you noticed how his actions were so much different for Bo. Much more passionate, loving, and special. It was never like that all those times that he brought you into his arms and spun you around. It never held as much delicacy and true love as what you saw now, and that simply beat your heart further down.

Not just that, but you finally figured out why this adventure seemed so short. It had been all about Woody and Bo. Most of the adventure was to be shared between them and only them. You simply weren't a part of the bigger picture anymore. You wondered why the story had been moving so fast, and that was exactly why. It wasn't supposed to revolve around you and Woody anymore. You just didn't matter.

When Woody finally set her down, the two stared deeply into each other's eyes. Their faces were only inches apart, their lips slightly parted as they stared at each other with nothing less than immense, burning love. You couldn't take it anymore, and you could've swore you heard a small crack within you as you turned away from the scene before you. As the other toys finally started to climb out of the hatch, you heard Hamm call, "Bo?"

"Is it really her?" Rex asked quietly.

Slinky barked happily. "I'll be danged, it's Bo!"

"Jessie." Bo smiled warmly as they toys began to walk closer to the happy couple, with the cowgirl being at the front of the group.

"Bo!" The cowgirl whispered happily as the two shared a gentle hug. Finally turning around, you saw Jessie take a step back as Woody took a moment to himself, his eyes slowly tracing over all of his longtime friends. It was so sad and painful to watch, knowing very well that this was the last time he would see them and this was the last time they would see him.

Lastly, he looked back to Jessie. He carefully removed his Sheriff badge from his vest, looking at it one last time before pinning it onto the cowgirl's shirt. She sent him a sad gaze of confusion, which Woody reassured with a small smile and the subtlest of nods. You heard a small sob escape Jessie's lips as she quickly lifted him into the air, spinning him around widely as she clung to him in a tight hug. The others joined in as well, as a large group hug was formed with Woody right in the center. Although it lasted a short moment, the hug seemed like it lasted so much longer as you watched it from afar.
