Notes : Takes place after Toy Story 3; Pretend Bonnie had already started kindergarten before the events of Toy Story 4
"Wait for it...." You mumbled aloud with a smirk on your face. With your ear placed against the door to Bonnie's bedroom, the rest of the child's toys waited eagerly to hear the news. Some toys really couldn't help themselves, such as Woody, Jessie, and Dolly, and they were pressed up against the door also.
"There's no way it's gonna happen." Potato Head rolled his eyes, crossing his arms in a huff. "We all know it never happens! The kids want it, it doesn't happen. They can't afford to miss something, it happens."
Jessie then shushed everyone, "Shh! I can hear the phone ringing!"
Silence filled the room. The entire house fell silent, actually. The soft voice of Bonnie's mother was barely audible as she spoke to the person on the other end of the phone. Seconds passed. Then, all of a sudden, a loud shriek was heard. "SNOW DAY!"
"SNOW DAY!" The majority of Bonnie's toys cheered, sounding just as excited as the little girl herself. Everyone jumped for joy and loud laughter broke out into the room. However, it was cut short when Bonnie came running up to her room. The toys scrambled back to their positions just before the girl burst through her door, running around as she gathered her snow clothes.
Once she was finished, she left the room. Of course, she didn't forget to say, "Bye, toys!" Eventually, the sound of the front door closing arose, followed by the sound of car doors, then a car engine that slowly faded away. "Come on, everyone!" Woody declared. "Time to have a snow day!"
You smiled, giddily humming to yourself as you skipped around the room. Making your way to the dollhouse, you put on your Mrs. Santa outfit that Bonnie had bought for you a few weeks prior, and you also wrapped a lovely scarf around your neck that the child had messily made herself. Don't tell anyone, but you also "borrowed" a pair snow boots and mittens from one of the dolls.
"Well, now don't you look prepared!" Woody smiled at you when you made your way over to him. You were surprised to see him wearing his Santa outfit over his sewn-on clothing. He would be fine with his cowboy boots, and he didn't bother with any scarves or mittens either.
"I could say the same about you." You returned his warm smile.
He tipped his cowboy hat to you then took your gloved hands into his. "Shall I accompany you outside, Mrs. Claus?"
Giggling at his joke, you played along and replied with, "Why, that would be lovely, Mr. Claus." You linked your arms with the Sheriff and allowed him to lead you outside into the cold yet beautiful world. The snow sparkled in the faint sunlight and tiny, puffy snowflakes gently fell to the ground all around you.
Most of Bonnie's toys were already in the midst of having a blast by the time you two got out there. The more rambunctious ones were having snowball fights, while some of the more laid back ones were making tiny snowmen or snow angels. Bullseye, being the majestic creature he is, was running around and face-diving into snow mounds. Buzz and Jessie were dancing together in the snow, and Rex and Trixie were playing....well, dinosaurs.
"It's so beautiful out today." You hummed with a laugh as Bullseye leaped into another pile of snow, sending a flurry of fluff flying everywhere. "The snow is just breathtaking."
"Speaking of 'beautiful' and 'breathtaking,'" Woody began, turning to you with a warm smile as he took your hands into his once more, "I have something very beautiful to show the breathtaking girl standing in front of me."
You could've swore you felt a warm sensation come bursting to your cheeks. "Oh, Woody. You shouldn't joke about that."
Woody looked you straight in the eyes with a serious expression. "I'm not joking, (Y/N). Now come on!" He pulled you away from all of your friends as they continued to play on the front lawn, taking you around to the backyard. When he started to cross over the fence, you grew worried.
"Where are we going?" You asked. "I don't think we should leave Bonnie's house."
"Don't worry. It's not far, I swear." The cowboy turned to you with a cheeky grin. "Besides, it'll all be worth it anyway!" He swung you up and over the fence, then proceeded to walk into the vast field of snow with you by his side. Minutes later, he covered your eyes from behind and led you further out into the snow.
Playfully whining, you begged, "Can I look yet?"
He simply laughed. "This is the fourth time you've asked! Luckily for you, we're actually here this time." When Woody removed his hands from your eyes, you saw a very, very small pond that had been well frozen over. Icicles hung from the small, growing tree hanging over the ice, sparkling in the sunlight.
"Oh my god!" You gasped at the stunning, shimmering sight before you. Bringing your gloved hands up to your mouth in awe, you slowly began to step forward towards the ice. First admiring the icicles that glimmered like stars, sending reflections dancing around, you then admired your reflection in the frozen pond. "Woody, this is beautiful!"
When you turned around to face him, you were unaware of how Woody's world had turned to slow motion. The way your hair had evenly flowed when you twirled around to face him, the way your eyes glimmered from the reflections of the icicles, the way the snowflakes stuck to your hair and the tips of your eyelashes.... Everything about you was always so perfect and serene, but that moment easily had to be the one to top them all.
Snapping back to his senses just before you could notice his lovestruck stare, Woody cleared his throat, adjusted his hat, and approached you. "Would you care for a dance, miss?" He tipped his hat to you formally.
Giggling, you beamed at him with a furious nod. "Yes! I'd love that very much, Woody." You let the cowboy pull you out onto the thick layer of ice covering the tiny pond. He wrapped his arms securely around your waist, and you tightly gripped his shoulders. The two of you slowly began to slide back and forth on the ice. Then, once you two got going, he began to spin and twirl you around. It was literally like a winter wonderland.
After minutes of dancing and skating around the ice, Woody finished by making an attempt to dip you. However, it was only an attempt. As he finished doing so, his feet slipped from beneath him, causing him to fall forward. Luckily, you hadn't been too high off the ground so the cowboy didn't cause any damage when he landed on top of you.
"Woody?" You spoke nervously, looking up at him as he straddled you.
His eyes widened. "Uh, er.... S-Sorry, partner! I didn't mean...." He trailed off the second he finally made eye contact with you. He first got lost in your eyes, but as he gradually broke his gaze away, he then started to become completely entranced by your lips. He didn't notice you doing the exact same thing, mimicking his actions.
Letting out a very faint sight as you tried to gather some courage, you managed to whisper out, "Cowboy, is there something you need to tell me?"
Woody hesitated. "Actually, y-yes. There is." He gulped, awkwardly tugging at the collar of his Santa suit as he continued to keep you pinned to the ice. "Partner? Er, (Y/N)?"
"Yes?" You replied, trying to hide your anxious anticipation as you fluttered your eyelashes.
You could've swore you saw the paint of Woody's rosy cheeks grow darker at your actions. He laughed in an extremely nervous manner as he struggled to force his words out. "So, we've been though quite a lip together-BIT! I meant bit!" A small giggle escaped your lips when he removed his gaze from your lips upon catching his mistake. "A-And I was wondering.... Would a fair maiden like yourself want to ride into the sunset with this cowboy?"
A huge, warm smile easily broke out onto your face. "Of course, Sheriff." You whispered, wrapping your arms around his neck gently.
Woody smiled lovingly at your response before leaning down to kiss your lips.
~~~~~~~~
"Uh, Woody?" Buzz asked once everyone got back into Bonnie's bedroom to both dry off and warm up.
"Yeah?" The cowboy provided the Space Ranger with his airy, aloof response.
"Is there a reason why you have lipstick prints all over your face?"
Woody halted in his tracks, eyes widening out of embarrassment. He then began to chuckle nervously, averting his gaze as his eyes darted everywhere else around the room. "Uh.... No?"
You snuck up on the Sheriff, putting a fake frown on your face as you hugged him from behind. Resting your chin on his shoulder as you teasingly stroked his chin with your index finger, you whined, "Woody, why don't you tell Buzz the truth? Are you ashamed of me?"
"W-What? No! No, no, no, no!" Woody rambled frantically, trying to calm you down. You internally smirked, seeing that he clearly fell for your facade.
"Are you sure?" You continued your little act, now beginning to kiss Woody's cheek repeatedly.
"I get it, I get it." Buzz chuckled, raising his hands in a dismissive manner. "I'll leave you both to whatever....this is."
The cowboy groaned as his best friend walked away from the awkward situation. You, on the other hand, began to laugh at your new boyfriend's discomfort. "See? It wasn't that bad, cowboy." Still laughing, you placed a long kiss on Woody's lips as he turned his head towards you.
He returned it immediately, but when you pulled away, he quickly wrapped his arms around your waist and spun you around. "I'm really not fond of your little games, missy!" He fake glared when he se you back on your feet, refusing to let you escape his arms.
"Yeah?" You smirked challengingly. "And what are you gonna do about it, Sheriff? Throw me in jail for my crimes?"
Now it was Woody's turn to smirk, causing yours to disappear. "Actually, yes."
"....I can NOT believe that Woody locked me in the toy chest!"
