Andy remained on his laptop for a few more moments. A stressful sigh escaped his lips as he looked around in his computer chair, turning to take a good look at his room. You watched him nervously as he rolled over to the toy chest, opening it to stare at his toys in deep thought. The suspense was killing you as he took a few moments more, but you quickly wished it would've stayed that way.

The boy pulled out a garbage bag and began to place all of your friends into it. When he got down to just Woody and Buzz, he stared at them with deep contemplation before ultimately placing the Space Ranger in the trash bag and placing the cowboy in his college box. He was about to tie the garbage bag, but his eyes landed on you just as he turned around.

Slowly approaching you, he gently took you into his grasp and eyed you. He noticed your two chipped cheeks and the fair amount of dust covering you. Glancing at the handmade platform he gave you so long ago, his brows furrowed as he made a tough decision. You began to have a hard time keeping your cool, almost letting your frightened face seep through as he continued to look at you. Eventually, he made up his mind.

He quickly dusted you off with his hand, then placed you in the garbage bag.

Eventually, Andy set the bag down and walked away to help Molly. But when his mother found it, she took it outside and placed it on the curb. "I can't breathe!" Jessie was gasping for air. "We're on the curb!"

"Oh, I knew it would come to this!" Potato Head groaned.

"Pull, everyone! Pull!" Buzz quickly demanded, trying to create a rip in the garbage bag.

"It won't rip!" You sighed, on the verge of tears had toys actually been capable of having them. "Forget it! I've seen it so many times before. We're done!"

"There's gotta be a way out!" Buzz said, giving you a firm look of determination.

"Oh, Andy doesn't want us. What's the point?" Potato Head snapped.

"Point. Point. Point!" Buzz repeated until his idea completely formed. You followed his gaze over to the tip of Rex's tail, which was putting stress on the garbage bag as his tail was starting to really push at it.

Everyone scrambled to Rex, trying with all their might to force his tail through the dense bag. "I can hear the garbage truck! It's getting closer." Rex cried out. Eventually, the bag broke. However, since the garbage man was right there, you all had to hurry out of sight just before he approached. You all hid in the empty recycle bin.

From there, you all stealthily made your way into the open garage. "Andy threw us out." Slinky frowned as Buzz lifted the recycle bin off of everyone.

"Like we were garbage." Hamm added, just as disheartened.

"He called us junk...." You whispered, lowering your head. "How could he?"

"I should have seen this coming." Jessie sobbed angrily. "It's Emily all over again."

"Sarge was right." Hamm groaned.

Potato Head's mouth curled into a snarl. "Yeah, and Woody was wrong!"

"Wait a minute. Wait, hold on." Buzz shook his head in disapproval. "This is no time to be hysterical."

"It's the perfect time to be hysterical." You cried out to the Space Ranger. "It's happening all over again! I'm going to be back to the boxes in no time!"

"Should we be hysterical?" Rex really began to panic once he saw that you were finally losing your cool just like every other toy.

"Maybe! But not right now!" Buzz answered.
