The Toy Story AU Meme

Congratulations. You are a toy. No ifs ands or buts about it. You're the action figure version of yourself, you're the stuffed animal version of yourself, you're Magical Girl Barbie, you're some kind of plasticky toy version of yourself that you get in Happy Meals, no matter what you are, you are a toy. You have always been a toy and you will always be a toy. Have fun being made of stuffing and having no junk.

In the comments, describe what kind of toy you are, how long you've been with Andy/whoever your owner is (cause let's be real, Andy ain't gonna own no ponies). Scenarios that you can choose from include...

one: birthday party
Person A is a toy already owned by the owner. Person B is new in town, fresh out of the plastic, ready to be played with.

two: the plot of toy story 1
Person A knows full and well he's a toy. Person B actually thinks that he's Captain America, Sailor Moon, Goku, etc. etc. Have fun trying to convince him, Person A.

three: daycare
AAAAAAH CHILDREN. How are y'all going to survive this?

four: off to college
Look, we've all seen Toy Story 3, do I really need to put something here?

five: wildcard

Birthday party! It always seems like time between celebrations and new toys goes so quickly. All of his fellow toys are freaking out and as far as he can tell, it's largely excitement. Will they get anything new? Will they get their missing teammate?

...not that Steve is entirely sure why they want anything called the Hulk smashing around. Andy had seemed excited about it. He's not so sure. Steve sits and watches everyone run around before he stands. He drops off the stack of books he's sitting on--Animorphs he thinks it reads--and onto the bed where he stalks over to the edge.

"Everybody needs to calm down!" he calls out. No one listens. Steve sighs and glances behind him when there's clanking.

"I'll give them a quick buzz, Cap. They'll settle down."

Red and gold armor steps forward--Andy's early birthday present--and Steve tries to stop him, "Tony--" A quick hop and he sees the armor light up, then the other toy crashes to the ground in a heap. "--You can't fly," he finishes. He shakes his head, someone keeps forgetting that he is, in fact, a toy.

It does get everyone's attention though, so there's that. "Look, everyone needs to settle down. New toys show up all the time. It'll be good for all of us to have some new people around. Lets just try and keep everything friendly and welcoming, alright? Otherwise we might have a repeat of--"

He stops, tilting his head and yep, those are footsteps, "Andy! Everyone back to places! Someone help Tony up."

There's a mad rush and Steve isn't sure how they manage it, but he scrambles back up to stand on the nightstand, and they're all in place when the door opens.

"Andy, hurry up and put your presents away! We're going to cut the cake soon!"

Andy's mom, calling to him up the stairs. The sound carries through the open door as Andy shuffles inside with an armful of presents. Some clothes, of course. A book or two, the sort that Andy would like to read. But the crux of it all, in the brand-new box, is the pretty blonde action doll. Rachel, of the Animorphs, the box proudly proclaims, able to morph into a terrifying grizzly bear. The grizzly bear costume is clearly visible behind Rachel, posed in her morphing suit. Andy dumps most of the stuff on his bed, but he sets Rachel's box upright on his desk before he hurries back out the door, closing it behind him.

"Coming, Mom!"

As soon as the door closes with a quiet click, Rachel springs to life. She peers out past the plastic window, rapping on it a few times before she gives it an experimental push. It comes loose easily enough, and Rachel hops out with surprising grace given the limited range of motion on those ball joints. "Hellooo? Awful quiet out here."

Everyone stays carefully tucked away while Andy is in the room though Steve's eyes are tiny enough he won't notice them moving as the child sorts through his toys. Sorts being used loosely of course. He doesn't really expect the kid to do anything near putting them away when there's cake to be had.

As soon as he's gone, Steve stretches--why couldn't he leave him in a more comfortable position?--and watches her. No one else comes out. He just barely refrains from rolling his eyes.

"Sorry!" he calls toward the desk. "They've been afraid of new toys since Andy went through his dinosaur phase!"

Rachel actually laughs at that, dusting herself off as she gets out of the box. "Afraid? Of me?" She looks around at the rest of the toys -- nobody's really dared to move except for Steve. "I guess I do kick some serious butt."

Still, the one toy who had the guts to actually talk to her has her attention. She walks across the desk, arms crossed, looking over Steve carefully. "So, what, are you the leader, then?"

"Most new toys," he throws up a hand in a shrug--what can you do? "They're getting better about it. There's a couple I'm surprised aren't out here already."

Now he's wondering if Tony had damaged himself in the fall because girl toys usually perked him right up.

"I guess you could say that," he agrees with a nod. "I try to keep things organized. Seems to be helping. I've been around here for awhile."
