This is just the prolouge. There'll be more to come, I hope you like it :)

Thousands of stars littered the cloudless night sky as the moon took it's place, shining a cold radient light on the barnyard. Otis was sitting on his soft hay bed, quietly staring out his window. He remembered the night little Ben was born, tonight was exactly the same ,except, the stars weren't danceing.

Why would they, thought Otis, closing his eyes and sighing.

A knock at his door caused the bovine to jump. He quickly got up and answered it, trying to drop his negitive mood.

"Hey O."

"Hey Pip," Replied Otis, faking a smile, "Whats up?"

"Well accualy, I was about to ask you the same thing."

Otis looked confused, so Pip scurried up a wooden post and jumped onto his shoulder.

"Dude, the farmers been out for like two hours!"

"And?"

"And normaly you'd be out there partying like an animal."

Otis hadn't really noticed it before but now the loud music was quite clear. The bull sat back down on his bed, "Pip I told you before, I'm not feeling too smooth tonight..."

"Man, you've been saying that for the last two weeks. Otis you're clearly not okay."

"I'm fine, I just want to be alone at the moment."

Pip just gave a sad shrug and left. He knew why Otis was acting how he was, and the mouse didn't want to prod his friend any more.

It had been two weeks since his family was taken away and Otis just couldn't seem to get over it, but then, who could blame him? He had begun to love life with Daisy being to him the sweetest, most beautiful girl he'd ever met. Then there was Ben, his little buddy and, basicly, son. Otis winced, trying his hardest to hold back tears as he remembered that terrible day...

Flashback

Otis was sitting in the pond, lounging around with his friends. Then, out of the blue Duke came bounding up to them, barking his head off.

"Otis!"

"Chill out Duke, whats the matter?"

The dog pointed towards the barn and gestured for him to follow, "Daisy... they're taking... they're taking away Daisy and Ben!"

Otis froze, "What? Why would they be taking away Daisy and Ben?"

Duke shruged, "I don't know, just c'mon!"

He led the others away from the pond and around the back of the barn, signaling for them to keep quiet. Otis stuck his head out from the corner and gasped, the farmer was picking up little Ben and putting him in a big white trailer. The bovine shook his head in disbelief and charged out on all fours, but it was too late. The farmer had jumped into the truck and started the engine, slowly starting to roll down the driveway leaving a light cloud of dust in his trail. Otis sped up and ran along side the trailer, "Daisy!"

"Otis!" The she cow stuck her snout through a gap, "Otis, I don't want to go!"

As much as he tried, Otis started to get tired and fall behind. They were on the road now and the farmer began to speed up, getting a little futher away.

"Daisy I love you!"

All of a sudden he tripped, falling face first into the dirt. Slowly lifting his head Otis watched, his heart in pieces, as the truck drove over a small hill then into the distance, taking with it his whole life...

Present Time

Otis shook his head, closed his eyes and laid down, pulling his blankets up to his chin. The loud music didn't bother him at all and he soon felt his eyelids grow heavy. Before long the bovine had driffted into a deep sleep, leaving behind his sorrows.

Pip was sitting at the bar, observing his surroundings. It was a typical night barn: hunderds of coloured lights lining the room, lots of farm residents sitting at the tables ,the Barn Boys up on the stage doing their thing. The atmosphere was exciting though Pip couldn't help but feel a little sad, he new he'd be having alot more fun if Otis were around. The mouse just sighed, "I hope he's back to normal soon."
