Author's Note: IMPORTANT! This is a new experiment of mine, and this time you will have to follow the instructions as they are given. There had been a lot of readers claiming that they loves my experiments, and it made me wonder if maybe I could take it one step further, I did, and here is the result. This is a pretty big experiment, and I really hope y'all will like it. In spite of being several chapters, this is a one-shot.

Each Time A Different Turn
Turn A
"Alright y'all, at this point, all ya need ta do is read and enjoy, and I'll get back to ya later with the rest."
The two boys kept arguing all the way out into the kitchen; went without a break to the barn to fetch the milk and the eggs, and kept it up all the way back to the kitchen table. He wasn't sure what they argued about, and to be honest he doubted they even knew either. It had started out about how indecent it was of old men to be so incredible jovial and generally in a good mood so early in the day. Yet as they returned, it was anyone's guess if they even knew what it was about. Jesse put the plates on the table, and then they were suddenly to busy eating to keep it up.
"I hope the two of ya got some good shut eye." Jesse grinned as he had said grace and watched them dig into the food. Bo looked up with an almost worried expression on his face as if he was wondering what was going on.
"Anything special today?" Luke asked, once more proving that he was the one who did the bigger share of the thinking in the pair. He wanted to know what was going on before he worried about it. It most likely was a good thing when you thought about it.
"Yeah, one reason, y'all supposed ta go over ta ol' Dick Brown an' fix that roof on his there barn fer him."
"Aw, that's gonna be taking the whole day." Bo's expression of half panic hadn't changed as he found out what was going to happen.
"Might even be the whole day tomorrow as well." Luke put in.
"Oh no it ain't, I'm gonna need ya here tomorrow so the tow of ya had better be finished by tonight." He grinned at them. "Shouldn't be a problem fer two strong lads now."
"Well, fixing the roof ain't the hard part." Luke stated. "But making that lazy cousin o' mine do his share o' the work is hard."
"Hey." Bo looked up at him with an annoyed expression. "I do my share."
"Yeah, once I make you do ya share." Luke stated firmly.
"Ya don't need ta make me do nothing, I do my share o' the job same as ya do." Bo objected, and Jesse knew he was getting more annoyed than amused since he had momentarily forgotten about his scrambled eggs. It took a lot to make Bo ignore his meal, and a friendly teasing was not enough. It was a good thing that Luke knew it too.
"Well, I reckon there'll be work ta go around plenty today." He grinned. "Uncle Jesse, do ya think ya could pack us a lunch. Seems to me we's gonna be working hard."
"Sure, I can fix ya up a snack ta bring along." There was no need to say that he had been planning to do that from the start. He knew how much those boys could put away with if they were working hard. The least he could do before sending them out to do a full day job was making sure that they were fed properly.
He watched them as they finished eating, taking seconds to last them on the way while he put together a basket for them. He knew that ol' farmer Dick Brown would make sure that they a good sturdy lunch, but he also knew that Bo would be start looking for something to eat after the first hour of hard work. The basket would keep them going.
He grinned as Bo jumped up and pretty much ran over the hood to be the first one on the drivers side, never-mind the fact that Luke was busy putting the basket into the back seat and wasn't really giving him any competition. If Bo stopped to see whether or not there was anyone to compete with before he tried to beat the competition, he would be doing most things a lot slower, and then it just wouldn't be Bo.
He could tell that the argument continued as Luke got into the car, he knew it would continue all the way until they were up on that there barn roof, and they would not stop it then.
As they made it back to the farm with the beautiful trade mark sunset behind them Luke was driving because Bo couldn't stop yawning long enough for Luke to feel safe with him behind the wheel. The fact that he hadn't objected to riding shotgun kind of let Luke knew that he really was worn out tired. It was only the knowledge that he had a nice soft bed at home that kept him awake until they got back, and the only reason Bo was able to keep awake was that Luke refused to let him sleep while he had to drive.
So the argument was mostly an exchange of murmurs, random insults and the occasional snores as they pulled up at the house. Both of them dragging themselves inside and undressing more or less before dropping out on their beds. Even half asleep Luke was amazed that Bo made it to his own bed, he wouldn't have put it past him to just drop out on the closest one.
"Goodnight Bo." He mumbled as he dropped his shirt on the floor and noted that Bo still had his on, on the other hand he was snoring happily enough, and it just meant that he wouldn't have to take it on in the morning. Not to mention the fact that Luke was really too tiered to care.
He loved Bo, a whole lot and there wasn't much he wouldn't do for him. Still right now getting up at this moment just to make Bo take his shirt off was one of them.
Jesse knowing that both boys was home after the work, having woken up partially as he heard the door open and close was left to musing about the kids he had and the life he led as he drifted back to sleep again.
"Here's the tricky part, or actually it's kinda easy, all ya's gotta do now is go back and read the first chapter one more time, and once ya've done that, then ya read either 3 or 4, that's up to ya, I ain't gonna tell ya which one this time around. Now, if this is the second one that ya read, and ya's already been following the end instruction once, then all ya's got ta do is go and read the only one that ya haven't already read, but be sure ta go back and read the first chapter one more time before ya do it. If ya's on ya finishing turn I'd recommend that ya'd be going back for the first chapter one more time, but I ain't gonna force ya to. I couldn't and I've been telling ya what ta do enough fer now. I just hope that y'all liked it"
