*jerks awake at the sound of Jesse's voice, looking aorund and blinking sleepily*

"Who-wha', then who..."

Luke: *leans out the bedrrom door* " I bet it's that old cat been snoopin' 'round the henhouse again... *not sure if his uncle would buy it or not, but knowing it would at least buy time while he found a place to hide the incriminating feather* Bo get up...

*sighs and rubs his eyes, stretching lightly*

Jesse *squeezes past Luke to get into bedroom and looks lovingly at a blurry eyed Bo* well git up, yur not too old to git a birthday hug from yur old Uncle Jesse are ya?

Luke: *thankful Jesse didn't see the feather and stuffs it in his back pocket and watches while Jesse goes in for a hug knowing full well that Bo wouldn't refuse, smiling a little himself just watching them*

*smiles and shakes his head, hugging Jesse back*

Nah never too old fer that

*Jesse pats Bo on back twice then release from the strong hug*

Since it's yur birthday Bo, I can take care of things on the farm today. What are you boys planning on doin' ?

"Nah Uncle Jesse its alright, I dont mind doin' some chores....seein as I slept through the mornin' ones..."

Bo replied with a smile

Luke: *smirks* "Ain't like he ever really does 'em anyways... "*says playfully before hiding behind his uncle in case Bo ventured to throw something his way*

Jesse *smiles and notices Bo smelling* Come on Bo, Daisy's fixed yur eggs jist like ya like 'em. Enjoy 'em this mornin' because I ain't sure if we'll have any tomorrow the way dem chickens is acting up. I'm goin' out there and see if I can figure out what's wrong. *turns around and walks toward the the kitchen table toward the outside door*

*sighs and gets out of bed, grabbing his clothes and heading to the bathroom, stretching as he walked and also cuffing Luke upside the head as he walked past him*

Luke: *sighs in relief that Jesse didn't find the feather before cuffing Bo back* You just wait...seems t me you got some birthday swats comin an' I'm more than happy to volunteer fer the job!

Jesse *outside looking at half the chickens still going crazy and the other half that have settled down scratching the ground eating* (mumbles to self while scratching hatless head) Well at least things are getting back to normal out here. I have a feeling this ain't gonna be a normal day though.

*smirks and turns round, looking to Luke*

Oh yeah? I'd love t'see ya try an' reach past my knee caps shorty...

Luke: *raises an eyebrow*" I might be shorter, but I'd get the job done, that there's a promise."

"Uh huh, you'd take out my shins real good..."

Bo said with a chuckle before going to the bathroom, locking the door behind him.

Luke: *frowns, putting away the feather in a safe hiding place for later, taking out a small wrapped gift and hiding it in his pocket before going out tothe kitchen, pouring himself a cup of coffee.*

Jesse *walks back in kitchen* Well, I don't know what happened out there but they seem to be settlin' down a mite *looks at Luke wondering what's on his mind*

Luke: "Prolly nothin...ya know how them things can get.. ." *he added slightly hiding his guilty face in the mug he held*

Jesse *partly closing one eye and looking at Luke suspiciousely* I can tell Luke, you're hiding something. *tilts head back then leans to Luke and whispers* it's Bo's present ain't it?

Luke: *near chokes on his coffee having to cough hard ito his cup his eyes watering as he nodded at the last words* Yes sir *manages*

Jesse *leans back and smiles* (whispering) He's gonna love it Luke. Why Bo's gonna be flyin' so high when he gits that, he'll feel lighter than a feather.

L: *manages only to nod still coughing his eyes watering*

Jesse *whispering* so when ya gonna give it to him? *bathroom door opens*

Luke: "I ain't sure yet..." *he whispered back softly*
