Okay everyone, I know I promised in a few days I would have this chapter up but I kept getting distracted...
Which probably wasn't a good thing, but here it is the third chapter to College Bound.
Anyway, this chapter is wrote in Adam & Joe's POV only.
Hopefully I'm not lying, if I am I'll give you my riffle and you can shoot me! -I would hope ya'll wouldn't-

Anyways...Adam has something he would like to say, don't ask...

Adam: Okay well...Chy does not own Bonanza, or me, or Joe, or Hoss, or Pa, or anyone else besides my poor little sister Beth *Looks sad*, Josh Acers, and any other OC'S...She only owns the rest of us in her mind...

Me: yeah...so with that on to the story! :) Hehe you can tell I get bored.

Adam: yes we can...

Me: :P

Disclaimer: Read the first thing Adam said... ^ follow the arrow :)

Joe's POV

I road ahead of my brother and sister not speaking to either of them, I just wanted to get home do my chorus then go off and play. Maybe Pa would let me go fishing, I would take Hoss and Beth with me.

"Little Joe," I looked back to Adam annoyed, he's repeated my name several times now and all the while I've ignored him. I really didn't want to hear what he had to say. "Little buddy, whats wrong with you?"

"Nothing Adam." He raised his eyebrow but I ignored is questioning gaze.

"I know your lying." Getting off Diamond I took her inside to her stall brushing her out. "Joe." Adam appeared beside me. "Talk to me."

"I don't wanna, now can you leave me alone."

"What did I do to you?" I ignored him again wanting nothing more then him to let me be. "Please Joe."

"What did you do? Everything!" I yelled facing him. "I hate you!" The look of shock on his face was priceless, I turned from him hiding my own shock. Why did I tell him that? I don't hate him, I just don't want him to go I wasn't going to tell him that though.

"Joe...you don't really." I glared at him. He sighed. "Perhaps its a good thing I'm going to college then, I don't have to put up with you anymore." I looked at him but kept my face straight I wasn't about to show pain or sadness that he really doesn't want to be around me anymore. He turned his back walking off putting Sport away he strode inside with Beth and Hoss who was making Beth laugh. Turning my back on them I went back in brushing down Diamond and re-brushing Angel for something to do even though Beth's already done it. Sneaking Diamond a sugar cube I went inside to do my homework.

"Hey Short Shanks."

"Heya Hoss!" I smiled up at my bigger brother.

"Golly Joe, I'm sorry for forgettin the two of ya."

"Its alright Hoss." I smiled up at him, his hand came down clapping me on the back then I ran off before he said anything else. I grabbed my homework and walked into Beth's room to see if she would help me, but when I walk in her and Adam are both at her desk looking at a sheet of math. I thought about whether or not I would go on and ask or just leave and do it myself. I choose the seconded option, turning to leave I went downstairs.

"Hop Sing, can you help me with this?" I ask walking into the kitchen. The little oriental man was waiting on a roast to be done but he agreed to help. Until now I didn't even know Hop Sing knew all this stuff.

"Thank you Hop Sing." Leaving the kitchen when I was done I went and put the homework away, then thought of something else to do. I went of outside and into the barn, I climbed up into the loft and got an idea. Waiting patiently by the side I waited for someone to walk in, when I heard footsteps I waited till the person got insight.

Gathering up a armful of hay I dropped it over the side and onto the persons head.

"Hey!" Giggling quietly to myself I looked over to see who it was, I met Adams eyes they were hard and cold as he glared up at me. "Joe. Get. Down. Here. Now." He said slowly and quietly. I slowly climbed down the ladder and glared up at my brother. "Joseph why are you throwing hay?" I shrugged and he sighed.

"Nothing better to do."

"Well why don't you finish your homework?"

"I already have."

"Then go help Hop Sing in the kitchen."

"Can I just go fishing?" I asked giving him a sweet voice. He shook his head. "Why Not!" I yelled at him.

"Because Joe me and Hoss are to busy to go with you. Now go on and play or go help Hop Sing, but don't throw anymore hay." Sending him another glare I marched off into the house, I didn't have time to argue with him. If him and Hoss were busy I could go fishing and be back before supper and they wouldn't know it, so that was exactly what I was going to do.

Adams POV

Out of the frying pan and into the fire. That's how it seemed anyways, it seemed that no matter what I did Joe wasn't going to listen to me or explain whats wrong to me. He knocked me out of my frying pan this time though, with the 'I hate you' and being mad at me for something I haven't figured out yet. I might be the smartest Cartwright but Joe might have out smarted me on this one, and whatever he's planning or thinking I might not figure out before I leave to college. I'm hoping I do though I'm not keen to leaving on bad term with my youngest sibling. Which I'm worried about leaving to begin with, Pa's already got white hair, but its going to get whiter and start falling out with Joe, and then with Joe always being able to drag Hoss, and Beth into mischief. Pa want have any hair left by the time I get home.

Sighing and looking at the house my brother just disappeared into I walked over saddling Sport before ridding out to the south pasture, Pa had just sent a hen moments before I walked into the barn and got covered in hay that some cattle got lose and he wanted help rounding them up.

This was going to be a long day.

Joe POV

Grabbing my rod and a can of worms me, Beth and Hoss had dug up yesterday I went to the barn and saddled Diamond with a bit of difficulty because the saddle weighed a ton but I got it on no less. I started down the road towards the creek, maybe a few friends will be down there fishing as well.

Once I got there I was in luck, David Laveran, Josh Arnolds, and Dylan Moons was there all with a rod. Spotting me David ran over.
"Joe, what are you doing here?" He asked grinning.

"Oh just fishing." I answered following him over to the others and tossing my line into the water I settled down next to the others.

We sat here and goofed off a few of us pulling in some fish.

"Joe, did you promise your Pa you would bring home some fish?" Josh asked eyeing the fish laying beside me.

"No."

"Oh." Was all he said as he pulled his own fish in.

When it started getting late, I had six fish. I handed them to Dylan to take home since he had only caught one. He thanked me and I road on home hoping no one missed me or Diamond. Arriving I put Diamond up and brushed her out again before petting her side. Beth came in after that and looked at me.

"Hey Lissy Beth." I greeted smiling at my one year older sister. She smiled and waved while pulling two apples from behind her back. She tossed me one which I caught. I watched her give hers to Angel. I smiled and did the same feeding Diamond the apple which she enjoyed making juice run down my hand, I wiped it on my britches.

"Where you been Little Joe?" Beth asked while petting Angels neck.

"Oh just out walking around." I said acting older then I was. She shook her head. "What you been up to little sister?" She raised an eyebrow at me.

"Joe, your six, I'm seven. I do believe I'm older than you. So I would be big sister." She said smiling.

I sighed and mumbled fine. She giggled and Hoss came in looking at the two of us.

"say you two wanna go play a game while we wait for Pa and Adam to get back?"

"Yeah!" Me and Beth shouted, Hoss declared Hide and Seek he counted and me and Beth ran off hiding.

Adams POV

I was going to be sore tomorrow, Sport knocked me off when a snake struck at him. I pet the old feller as I put him the barn and walked out side. Hoss was hollering for Little Joe and Beth.

"Dag burnit, where did them two go." He mumbled to himself as alarm took over me, I ran to him.

"Hoss where's little Joe and Beth?" I asked he looked at me and shrugged.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out." He started. I started to panic Hoss didn't know where I younger siblings were.

"You can't find them anywhere?" I asked. He shook his head.

"Nope, I've searched under Pa's desk, under beds in the barn the kitchen. But thoughs two rascals seemed to have disappeared." He looked around frowning but he didn't seem worried.

"How long have you been looking?"

"About say fifteen minuets, the two only went to hide for the fifth time already." Hide? Fifth time? I looked at Hoss confused. "Their to good at this game." Hoss mumbled. Then it dawned on me, Hoss was playing hide and seek with the two youngest, and the both of them were really good hiders.

"I'll help you look Hoss, so we can get cleaned up for supper." I said walking into the house to search.

"I glanced under the couch not seeing anyone. After searching a bit more I checked the rooms up stairs. I opened Joe's door but neither were in there. They weren't in Hoss, Beth's or Pa's rooms either. I went to my room and checked. It was empty as well.

"Any luck Hoss?" I asked walking back outside. He shook his head and moved on looking for them. I went and re-checked the barn. Climbing into the hay loft I dug around in the hay and notice some move in-front of me I went over and plunged my hands down in it and pulled up a surprised Beth. I laughed and tossed her into air listening to her giggle. "Found one Hoss!" I yelled as Hoss came walking in. He looked up at Beth and chuckled as I put her down. Now all that was left was Joe.

Beth went and sat on the porch waiting while me and Hoss continued searching. We both walked towards the bunk room, and glanced around going inside we glanced around them something leaped on Hoss back giggling.

Hoss pulled Joe from his back.

"There ya are Short Shanks." He said putting the boy on the ground, I smiled watching the two.

"Come on you two, time for supper." I said while Joe looked at me for a seconded and Hoss walked quickly out the door Joe followed suit and I brought up the rear. We got back to the porch and Beth was gone, I also noticed Pa's horse in the barn so she probably went inside with him.

"Alright you two go get washed up." I watched them walk off and I went up to my room to change before supper.
