Jesse sighed and ran a hand down his beard before looking outside. "Well...it ain't dark yet...and I know Bo wanted to keep away from ya a bit...he's probably gone for a walk...."

Jesse frowned more, stepping out the stall and closing the gate behind him, putting his hands on his hips. "You think he's missing?"

Jesse looked up from where he was brushing Maudine the Mule, frowning. "Well yeah...we had a talk out there in the yard before I came in here...last I saw he was still standin' in the yard..."

Lavinia smiled gently as Luke did, ruffling his hair softly and nodding as he left to get his younger cousin, starting to lay out the table.

Lavinia looked over from where she was cooking at the stove, smiling to Luke with a nod. "Yeah almost..." It wasn't obvious she was sick...but everyone in the house knew she was.

Eventually has to stop, having asthma meant he couldn't run for very long. He took a quick puff of his inhaler and waited before carrying on walking, just looking around as he walked.

Bo continued to run, not knowing where he was going, just wanting to get away for a while. To be honest he was a little annoyed that he always got told off when he teased Luke but Luke never got told off when he teased Bo.

Bo scowled a little, watching Jessie walk away before deciding on another course of action. He turned tail and ran out the farmyard and down the road.

Bo frowned, looking to him. "No..."

Bo sighed, wondering if he should protest again that he wasn't teasing but knew it probably wouldn't do much good so he didn't say that, instead only mumbling. "Still don't give him the right to try an' drown me..."

"But I wasn't teasin'!" Bo protested, even though he knew full well that he was. "You always said I should tell the truth so I was! You said we shouldn't keep secrets from anyone in the family unless it was birthday surprises or somethin' so I wasn't!"

"No...I just walked out the room sayin 'Luke love Jenni' and he chased after me..." Bo's bottom lip wobbled a little. Even at 11 years old he still had the skills to pull that off..

"Him and Jenni...he's been scribblin' in his notebook that he loves her..." Bo answered.

"Because I was tellin' the truth...." Bo answered innocently

Bo looked up at him with big blue eyes that were a little fear filled...purposefully of course... "Cause he's mad..."

Bo peaked out from behind Uncle Jesse, continuing to whimper gently. "He's gonna get me when I go in..."

Bo faked a whimper, it actually sounding very realistic...only Bo knew it wasn't real. "Uncle Jesse don't let him drown me!" He cried out, clinging to his Uncle's clothes as he still evaded Luke's hands.

Bo huddled into Jesse, dodging around Jesse in order to stay out of Luke's grip. "He's gonna drown me Uncle Jesse!"

Bo raced out to his Uncle, hiding behind him. "Help Uncle Jesse help!"

Bo rolled his eyes, hoping off the bed, waiting at the door to make sure Luke was a safe distance away before scampering out shouting. "Luke loves Jenni! Luke loves Jenni!"

"Sleep?! Luke it's only 5 in the afternoon! We ain't even had dinner yet!" Bo exclaimed, hoping Luke was kidding.

Bo shrugged "Don't thank me...just find me a new water bomb victim.." He said with an evil grin.

Bo nodded "And if ya fail...at least she knows ya tried to help..."

"Well...why not get into school early tomorrow...speak to some o'her gym friends an' find out what it is she can't do...ask her to meet ya after school..find out how to do that move an' teach her yerself..." Bo said as though it was the simplest thing in the world to think up.

Bo smirked. "Not this time...though it would be fun water bombin' the coach..."
