Luke hid a smile on his face. "I'm probably gonna be sorry I asked but, what in the world are ya talkin' bout Bo?"

"Let's just say....that that thing you and Uncle Jesse didn't want me to know about when I was a kid that you were already doing...I got graphic vocal lessons about..."

Bo replied with a smirk.

Jesse coughed uneasily taking a drink of his cocoa.

"Well...ya had to learn from someone...might as well learn from the best," he added with a smirk well knowing what he was starting.

Bo nodded, sipping his cocoa before saying back.

"Yeah course...I learned the basics from you and improved them which is why I;ve had more girls..."

Luke laughed out loud as Daisy snorted, snippetly replying, "Air's not only getting cold it's also getting really really thick."

Bo shrugged

"Sorry you can't handle the truth cousin..."

"Truth t' who, cousin?" asked Luke playfully.

Jesse sighed and shook his head

"Alright boys that's enough for tonight thank ya.."

Bo sighed and nodded

"Yes sir.."

Luke sighed. "Yes sir...sorry Bo," he added.

Daisy snickered.

Bo looked to Daisy as she kept giggling.

"What's the matter with you?"

Daisy shook her head, tears in her eyes now. "I don't know."

Luke rolled his eyes. "Womenfolk."

Bo frowned a little, glancing to Luke before looking back to Daisy.

"Yes you do what's going on?"

Daisy shook her head. "No...it's nothing....it's nothing..."

"Oh come on, you can't be sitting there crying with laughter and not tell us Daisy..."

Bo said back

Daisy wiped her eyes. "You two...you just...you talk so big...but...you act...like...like..."

"Like what?" asked Luke indignantly.

"Like kids!" said Daisy losing herself in giggles all over again.

Bo frowned and watched Daisy a moment before looking to Jesse in confusion, to which Jesse shook his head with a small smile.

"She's right boys but Daisy just you calm down, its not that funny..."

Daisy nodded, sniffing a little and wiping at her eyes with her handkerchief.

Luke frowned too, but didn't say anything more turning his attention to Bo as thunder shook the house.

As the thunder boomed through the farmhouse, Bo near jumped out of his skin, swallowing as he looked out the window and saw that the sky had gotten darker with the heavy clouds if that were even possible.

"Just a li'l bit of thunder Bo...s'ok," said Luke softly, one hand going to his shoulder protectively.

Bo nodded a little, turning back around and snuggling down into his blankets more, hating that he was such a coward over this natural phenomenom. He couldn't help it...ever since that one night hsi fear of storms had developed and had never gone away.

****Flashback****

It had begun like any other night on the Duke Farm- only it was unlike any other night. The wind was howling, promising a dilly of a storm and Luke and Bo were in the barn, helping their uncle make the dwelling water-tight and secure.

Nine year old Luke was busy pounding more nails into the wood, at the same time glancing over to his six year old cousin Bo who, as always, was anxiously helpful, bu of little help. He was so cute and sweet though that neither he nor Jesse had the heart to tell him to go inside.

Bo was sat happily on the floor with his own plastic tools, pretending to help by banging on the wood Luke had already banged some nails into. In reality he wasn't doing anything to help the work being done, but in his own little mind he was making sure what luke had done was secure so Luke didn;t get in trouble if it wasn't. His little tongue was poking out the side of his mouth as he concentrated on the task at hand, not bothered by the storm or the noises it was making.

Jesse looked over at his two boys, each so focused on the job at hand. "Luke...I'm just gonna go in and check on Daisy....you finish up out here and bring Bo inside..."

"Yes sir," said Luke pounding more nails in as his uncle left.

Bo didn't hear what his Uncle had said, too absorbed in the task he was doing. Once he finished one spot, he crawled along a little further and started on another spot without saying a word.

Luke finished the spot he was working on, frowning as the wind took the door swinging it open.

"Stay back Bo!" he yelled rushing out into the storm.
