*Howdy all! New story for you! This one is with your favorite family, the Prides! Enjoy!*
It was a usual quiet April afternoon in Bonnie's room. Mom and dad were at work, Bonnie was at daycare, and her toys were up and about doing whatever they wanted. Hamm, Buttercup, Mr. Potato Head and Dolly were playing Gin Rummy, Mr. Prickle pants was reciting Shakespeare for the aliens, peas-in-a-pod and Mrs. Potato Head, Trixie and Rex were playing Mortal combat, Jessie, Buzz, Bo, and Woody were playing Candy land, and Slinky and Bullseye were taking a nap in the sun. Rosetta was reading a book by the window. Suddenly she felt something light touch her cheek."Hello my Owen." Rosetta said, smiling.
"Good morning, my darling Rose. How are you on this fine day?" Owen said, sitting beside her.
"Better now that you are here." They leaned in and kissed. He then pulled out a bouquet of daisies.
"Happy anniversary, my Rose. Two years ago today, we met here on this very windowsill."
"And yet, it seems like only yesterday. You've stolen my heart, Owen."
"Oh? Is that so? Well prepare to have it stolen again. Hit it, Trixie!" The dinosaur hit a button on the laptop and music started playing. He jumped down onto the floor and started singing.
You like the good boys
So I'm not invited to the plans you make
When you're with your friends
But you know bad boys
You can't deny it
They can always show you where the fun begins
Call me criminal
I won't deny you make me want it all,
Everything you are
So lock it up
Go on and try it
No matter what you do
I'm gonna steal your heart
He continued to dance as the others gathered around, clapping and cheering. He went into the chorus once more.
Call me criminal
I won't deny you make me want it all,
Everything you are
So lock it up
Go on and try it
No matter what you do
I'm gonna steal your heart
He slid in front of Rosetta, who had climbed down to watch. Out of breath, he smiled at her.
"Rose, baby, you have stolen my heart the moment I met you, and I want to be the one to steal your heart every day for the rest of our lives. Rosetta Grace Pride, will you marry me?" He was on one knee now and holding a small box wide open. Inside was a silver ring with a tiny blue stone in the center.
"Oh my god, Yes! Yes, yes, yes!" Rosetta cried, jumping into his arms. They kissed and the room exploded with cheers. Off to the side, Buzz, Jessie, Bo and Woody stood together, smiling at the happy engaged couple.
"Aw, he finally proposed to her!" Jessie said.
"I was wondering when that was going to happen." Buzz said. "Did Owen ask your permission?"
"He did. Woody said proudly. He actually came to both Bo and I and asked us."
"Such a gentleman." Bo said, hugging Woody. They looked over at the couple again. Woody looked at his daughter's face, so full of happiness. He was happy that they were finally getting married. Later that night, after Bonnie and her parents left to go to dinner, they threw a party to celebrate their engagement. There was music playing and everyone congratulated the happy couple. Woody came into the room and started walking over to his daughter when he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Someone grabbed his shoulder.
"Hey Sheriff, how you doing? I bet all this excitement about your daughter getting married is a bit overwhelming." He asked.
"I'm actually fine with it. Owen is good for her and he makes her happy. Woody said. I am not worried at...OW!" He grabbed his chest again and started to fall when Buzz caught his arm.
"Whoa, hey. What was that?"
"Ah, sorry. I've been having this pain in my chest and I'm not sure why."
"When did it start?"
"Last night, but it wasn't this bad. It feels like something is lying on top of me, almost like I can't breathe."
"Maybe you should talk to Dolly."
"No. I don't want to worry anyone, especially...Rose! Hey, there she is." Buzz turned just as Rosetta came over. She was wearing a navy blue floral print tank dress with black shoes.
"Daddy. She said, hugging him. Did you know about Owen's proposal?"
"I knew he was going to ask you, I just didn't except it to be so enthusiastic. I liked the song choice though."
"Thank you, Woody. Owen said. I wanted something that truly spoke about how I feel about Rosetta. Oh, we were wondering about something."
"We wanted to know if you would sing at the wedding during our first dance." Rosetta said.
"You, you want me to sing? Are you kidding, of course I will. Sweetheart, I'd be honored to."
"Yay! I knew you would say yes. I asked Jessie to sing too, but that will be when I walk down the aisle. Mom already sent a message to Barbie, she's going to be making my dress! Isn't that exciting?"
"Barbie does know a thing or two about fashion. You're going to look beautiful, baby girl." Rose kissed his cheek and then went to dance with Owen. Woody winced and grabbed his chest again. "You see? You see how happy she is right now? I can't worry her when she just got engaged."
"Buddy, you can't even take a breath without having pain. Talk to Dolly tomorrow, please, just to see what this is." Woody nodded and they went to enjoy the rest of the party.
