"Cuz the coach yelled at her an' embarrassed her in front of her teammates...as if she don't already get yelled at enough..." said Luke angrily.

Luke shrugged . "Bo said I should learn the thing she's sposed t know an teach her...but somethin tells me it ain't just about some somersault..."

Luke sighed. "She felt bad...but she won't let me help!"

Luke flushed. "Nothin..."

Luke nodded and started to eat.

"Guess so, " he answered absently.

"He got mad at me and left," he answered quietly feeling horrible.

"Bo's missing," he answered quietly.

Luke sat at the table quietly, not saying anything.

Luke sighed. "If you say so..." He turned and headed inside not bothering to argue.

Luke nodded. "I'll go look for him." With that he set out walking.

Luke bit his lip and thought a moment. "Yeah...yeah I do."

"He ain't there now...I looked all over for him..." said Luke a hint of worry in his voice.

Luke looked around for Bo calling out his name but nt finding him. Finally he went to his Uncle. "Uncle Jesse you seen Bo?"

Luke gave her a kiss, not something he normally would do, but knowing she was sick he had gotten into the habit of showing her affection whenever he could. "I'll go get Bo..." Withhat he left the house.

Eventually Luke pulled himself out of bed and walked to the kitchen. "Dinner ready yet?"

Luke stared dreamily at his ceiling, wondering why Bo hadn't come in yet when he could smell that supper was near done.

Luke for once didn't do anything. His mind was too absorbed with Jenni to think about retaliation.

"Then I recon you take what he gives ya," he said with a smile before walking off.

Jesse looked at him. "I think you better apologise...don't you?"

Jesse looked at the youngster sternly. "I also said there's a time an' place fer teasin'...and I recon that this is not somethin Luke wants t' be teased about."

Jesse looked at him. "Uhu...well...Luke might be a bit sensitive about his love life...he's at that age...you best just eave him be youngin...you'll be where he is fore long...an' you wouldn't want anyone teasin you..."

"And you're teasin him bout it?" asked Jesse.

"About...?" asked Jesse raising an eyebrow.

Jesse looked at him asmile behind his beard. "An why is he mad?"
