Bo laughed remembering that...they used to confuse not only the bullies in the playground with their secret language but also the teachers when they were making up excuses for lateness or for skipping school.

Bo raised an eyebrow as he saw Luke's expressions change a little but didn't really think anything of it. Since Jaime had been around that had happened more with Luke and he knew the reason why so sad nothing about it.

For a moment there was no reply as Jaime physically let out a sigh of relief. All she had heard from Daisy was that Luke was in hospital before she had cried out to him in her mind. Sometimes the special power of hers really came in handy...other times not so much. Eventually she did reply though. "Okay...me an' Aunt Daisy are comin'..."

Bo sighed and nodded, knowing how important Jaimie was to Luke. Suddenly, in Luke's head, Jaime's voice rang out clear and sounding a little upset. "Dad...Dad are you alright..."

Bo sighed and patted his hand a little. "She'll be here Luke..."

Joe shook his head and gently and slowly led Fly away back to the barn.

Bo shrugged. "Don't know...Daisy ain't brought her in yet..."

Joe shook his head. "It's a bit late for apologies now ain't it...I've checked over her hoof, she's gonna be alright but ya can't ride her for a couple o'days...let her foot heal....you should have checked it as soon as she started to limp...you usually do...and you would have done if it wasn't for her as well..." He spat out a little, indicating Lorainne who was out of ear shot, standing at the fence.

Bo smiled back and sighed softly, settling as best he could into the chair again.

Joe looked over as Hank called to him, seeing him hurrying over. He shook his head, a scowl on his face as he continued to soothe Fly softly. "No actually she's not..." He held up the large and pointed stone. "This was dug, sharp point up into Fly's hoof..."

Bo nodded with a smile "For once, good to be here..."

Bo shook his head. "Nu uh, you can't change your mind now.."

"Now now Lukas, your contradictin' youself...you already said I was cute.." Bo said with an almost gleeful tone of voice

Bo smirked "Awww...afraid i'll take her away?"

Bo laughed, grinning from ear to ear - not only pleased because Luke was alright but also he seemed to be far more relaxed than he had been earlier. He was more like his old self.

Jerimiah watched as they left, shaking his head with a smile as he watched them leave. Joe gently stroked Fly as she ate the sugar lumps. "Its ok...its over now..."

Joe quickly worked on the stone and soon had it out. "There we go girl...good girl..." He took a couple of sugar lumps out his pocket and fed them to her.

Bo smirked back at him. "Well after living with you, its pretty easy..."

Joe held fast, speaking soothingly. "I know...I know darlin'...its almost there..."

Bo shrugged with one shoulder, looking as innocent as he could. "Not my fault I'm so attractive an' all the girls who like me are so beautiful..."

Joe soon returned with the pick, taking the leg between his own legs and holding it there before gently working on getting the stone out.

Bo sniggered a little. "He's on to you Luke...how ever did he figure that out..."

Bo nodded in amazement. "Wow...no needles or nothin'...."

Joe nodded, gently putting her foot down. "Alright girl...you wait here an' i'll get this out..." He quickly headed out the pasture and to the barn, getting the pick.

Bo chuckled. "C'mon then...what did she do.."
