Why had he not thought about this before? Jedidiah was angry at himself. He had not thought of what the consequences of him helping Octavius get together with Jane would be. He walked around the Western diorama he was confused. It had been only a week and Octavius and Jane were head over heals for each other.

Though Jed was some what happy for them, he noticed the lack of attention the Roman general was giving the empire. Chaos was entering the lives of the Roman exhibit. Especially for the army they did not know what to do. Usually Octavius gave them something to do, but he was not there.

Mary a redheaded cook came up behind a thinking Jedidiah. "Mr. Smith are you alright? You look upset 'bout somethin'," she asked. Jedidiah was spooked.

Catching his breath, "My Lord woman! Don't you know it ain't good to scare a man when he is thinkin'?!"

Laughing at this the cook laughed she had always got entertainment from scaring him. "Sorry, I just wanted to see what was bothering you. Now what is it that has you thinking so hard all of a sudden?"

"Nothing, nothing is bothering me," he lied.

Mary gave him a stern look, "So, you have been pacing, thinking hard, and mumbling to yourself…for nothing?" She asked crossing her stubby arms across her chest.

Nothing could get past Old Mary; he gave her a small smile and sighed. "I'm just kind of concerned about Octavius, the Roman Empire, and Miss Jane Austen."

"How so," she asked.

"You know how Octavius got tall and got together with Jane?"

"Yup," Mary answered, listening attentively.

"Well the Roman Empire over there…it ain't donin' so good. The army is doing nothing because Octavius is not there tellin' them what to do. So, they are causing chaos!" He began to explain. "Now you know I would not get involved, but Octavius…I'm worried for him of getting into trouble with the empire."

Jed took a breather for a moment. Mary thought this all through and saw where he was coming from. She did hear about the problems the empire was having.

The cowboy looked at Mary and began again. "Then there is Octavius and Jane and the problem that might occur soon."

Mary was confused about this, "What do you mean? They seem fine," she sighed in joy before continuing. "They do sure seem to be the perfect couple in my eyes."

"Women," Jedidiah sighed in annoyance. "They won't seem perfectly happy when Jane finds out the true height of Octavius. As well how he has been lyin' to her this whole time!"

"Oh dear," Mary said she never thought about that. "That is true, but…Jane dose not seem to be the one to judge too much on looks. Though I do see where she would get upset about bein' lied to."

The cowboy sighed taking his hat off looking to his feet. "I feel some how, responsible for all this."

Mary patted him on the back, "Don't feel that way. It is not your fault."

"You are right, but I can't change how I feel," he stated putting his hat back on. "I just hope what I believe will happen is wrong…For Octavius sake and for Jane's."

"Well maybe you should talk to Octavius," Mary threw out.

Glaring at her, "Well there's a fresh new idea!" he said sarcastically.

"Already tried?"

He shook his head, "Yes, but he is either too busy with Jane, or too…happy, or he can't here me from how tall he is!"

"Maybe you should just try again; you never know you might get him to pay attention."

Jed had to agree that was all he could really do right now. "You are right…well thank you Mary I kind of needed to get that off my chest."

"Any time honey," Mary said walking away. "Good luck!"

The cowboy walked over to where a fire was going and sat on a stump. All he predicted that was going to happen he really wanted to stop from happening. Octavius did not deserve that kind of disappointment; beside never did he see the Roman general this happy.
