Jessie unrolled the powder blue foam mat onto the floor. The peace sign decal in the center was starting to crack and fade. As she began to loosen up by stretching her elbows over her head, Buzz joined her. Quietly, he watched as she bent her torso from side to side.

"Are you going to do some yoga?" Instantly he wanted to kick himself. Of course she's doing yoga! She's got the yoga mat!

Seemly unperturbed by his gaffe, Jessie turned and gave him a bright smile. "Sure am! Wanna join me?"

"Me?"

"Yoga's great!" Jessie bent down to touch her boot tips. "Really unkinks the knots in yer stuffin'. Makes you feel good and relaxed." Popping back up, she grabbed his hand and pulled him onto the mat. "Come on, Buzz! Yoga with me!"

His cheeks turned pink. "I…I don't think I can."

"Sure ya can! We'll start slow with a few beginner poses and work yer way up!"

"No I mean," he said. "I don't think my body can. I wasn't built to be flexible."

"Oh." Reaching over her shoulder, Jessie began to awkwardly tug on her braid. "I guess I hadn't thought of that."

Blast, she looked so disappointed but he knew his stocky plastic frame wasn't meant to bend like a human's. It was different for Woody and Jessie. With no bones and soft joints, they could move any way they pleased. Jessie in particular had the swiftness and grace of a thoroughbred pony when she wasn't charging around like a maniac. Swiftness, grace, beautiful eyes…

Buzz shook himself out of his stupor. "I…uh…"

"What?"

"I…" he took a deep breath. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try a few beginner's poses."

"Ya mean it?" He nodded. "YEEHAW!" Jessie bellowed, slapping him on the shoulder. "Oh Buzz! I promise, you're gonna love yoga! It'll make you feel like a brand new toy!"

FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER:

Woody sat on the floor. Next to him, Buzz lay face down. "So let me get this straight. You did something to impress a girl knowing it was a bad idea, but you did it anyway and you got hurt."

Buzz grunted into the floor.

Woody chuckled. "Gee Buzz, I think you might be from this planet after all."

"Shut up."

Jessie appeared holding a cold pack. "I got ya some ice!" She took a seat. "I'm really sorry, Buzz! I should have listened to ya when you said you weren't built for yoga!"

"It's okay, Jessie."

"I just don't understand how you threw yer back out doing Tadasana. All ya had to do was put your hands on your hips!"

Woody burst out laughing. As Buzz groaned, he took the cold pack from Jessie and placed it on his friend's back. "Poor Buzz…"
