Hey, everyone! So, this is another re-upload of a story I took down due to the mirrored sites thing; I thought it was time to put it back up for your enjoyment. It's a super short little one-shot that I had a blast writing. :D

I don't own Bonanza. No money is being made from this work.


Guess

by Knowing Grace

"Hey, Little Joe, where are ya goin'?" Hoss asked, stepping into my room as I stuffed another shirt into my saddlebags.

"Guess."

He looked at me, scratching his head as he pondered. "Okay, lemme think. Uh...Carson City?"

"No, Guess," I replied.

"Genoa?"

"No."

"Placerville?"

"No!"

"Stockton?"

Tossing a bar of soap onto my bed, I threw my hands up in frustration. "No, Hoss! I already told you; I'm going to Guess!" My big brother stared at me, confusion on his face, and I sighed. "Look, the town's named Guess—don't ask me what fool decided to call it that!"

He finally nodded, understanding.

Adam appeared in the doorway, arms crossed casually over his chest. "Where are you going, Joe?"

Hoss and I looked at each other and replied in tandem, "Guess."

"Genoa?"

I groaned. "Not again!"
