Andy: My dad and I had a talk later. He admitted that he had been awful about the whole doll thing. He said he trouble with believing in the mystical. He still didn’t believe the stories my mom told him about the evil fairy that killed her mother.
My parents agreed that Woody/Jessie should stay with us. Considering all the trouble I went through just to preserve our friendship it would be pretty messed up to just send her away. My mom helped her change up her look and enrolled her at my school and everything, but about that friendship, it took me a while to get used to the whole girl thing.
There were things I wanted to say to her, but didn’t know if I should. Truth is, I didn’t have much experience hanging out with girls…especially pretty girls.
We were seniors this year, and somehow Jessie knew everything. Seriously, she had to help me with my homework. It was a bit embarrassing, but I just wasn’t an academic.
But getting to the point, it was prom time. I had always planned on ditching the whole thing, but Jessie was sooo excited. She wouldn’t stop bugging me until I finally agreed to go with her.
I was super nervous to go out with Jessie. I mean this wasn’t a date or anything, but…you know…it was kind of a big deal. She looked amazing. I found myself staring…a lot.
Ugh! Prom wasn’t bad, it was awful! There were so many people there. I didn’t even know half of these people went to our school. I really did not like crowds. Taking pity on me, Jessie finally said we could bail out.
I had to admit I felt really bad for being such a downer, so I promised we could do something else. I drove her to the beach, and whipped out my favorite boom box to play some tunes. We danced the night away under the moonlight. It was actually kind of romantic in a way, but this absolutely was not a date…
You know, I had been thinking lately that getting to hang out with Jessie again had always consumed my thoughts while I worked at potion making. I guess now that I think about, technically that meant that She had always consumed my thoughts…
Note: I was going to show them inside of the prom, but I really didn't want to try to get all those people in there doing what I want them to do. I could use mods, but I'm trying to stay away from those at present. So, my apologies.
