Toy Story fanfic

The beginning of a Toy Story fanfic that I posted to facebook:

“Hey there, welcome to Bonnie’s room!”

I jolted awake to a large face above my head and screamed. “Aaaaah!”

“Whoa, easy, didn’t mean to startle you. I just wanted to be the first to welcome a new toy.”
New toy? As my head stop spinning and my heart rate relaxed, I realized that I was looking at a very familiar cowboy…or cowboy doll to be exact. I stared, slack jawed at a larger than life Woody from the Toy Story movies. I had just seen the 3rd movie and the characters had been regulars in my imagination as of late. There was no way this was real. But I certainly felt awake.

“Hey Woody, that’s my job around here.” A little felt doll with purple pigtails and an orange dress plopped over the side of what I now realized was a giant girl’s bed.

“Oh, sorry, Dolly, old habit I guess. It’s what I did back at Andy’s.” said Woody.

“No prob, I understand.” She turned to me. “ The name’s Dolly, what’s yours?”

“Angela, “ I said in a daze. “But I’m not a toy…or at least I wasn’t when I went to bed last night!” Woody raised an eyebrow. I had a hunch he was remembering the way Buzz Lightyear the space toy once thought he was a real space ranger and not a toy.

“Can we come up now, Woody?” came a voice.

“Sure thing, gang!” In a second, I was surrounded by a cast of colorful characters and voices I knew quite well- Buzz Lightyear, Jessie the yodeling cowgirl (my personal favorite), Rex the timid T-Rex, Hamm the piggy bank, Mr. And Mrs. Potato head, Slinky dog, and 3 aliens from Pizza Planet plus new friends from the latest film Buttercup the unicorn and Mr. Pricklepants the hedgehog.
