Trouble on the farm (part 3)
Summary: Nick gets into another fight
Chapter TextNick finished his lunch before saying," I should still have enough time to finish that last field."
Stu immediately shook his head and replied," You should rest. The field can wait for another day."
Nick shook his head before saying," We had an agreement. I would come back for lunch but would be allow to continue to work."
Stu realized Nick was a person who kept his word before replying," At least take the tractor, so you can save time."
Nick was going to argue but realized that the longer he argue with Stu the longer it would be before he got back to work and replied," Fine, I will take the tractor."
Stu smiled before saying," Thank you. I have to get supper started. The family should be back soon and it take time to make thing from scratch." and handing Nick a bag containing blueberry jam and bread.
Nick got on the tractor before looking at the tire iron and deciding to finish some unfinished business with a certain young lion.
Nick arrived at the second Corn Field and found that the three attackers had been removed. He looked around and notice tire tracks and he recognized them as the type used by law enforcement vehicles for off road criminal chasing.
Nick decided that at least Judy's family was safe before heading to the third Carrot field.

Stu smiled as he saw the pickups returning with his family. He could see his beloved Bonnie and a very angry daughter Judy get out of the pickup.
Stu walked over before asking," What is Judy angry about?"
Bonnie answered," Rex was at the farmer's market."
Stu asked," So what did Rex do this time?"
Bonnie answered," First, upon seeing her, he began to follow her around and continue to profess his love for her to everyone. Secondly he tried to steal a kiss from her. Third, she is upset because Nick did not join her at the farmer's market."
Stu replied," It is a good thing he did not go." Before telling her what happened on Carrot Field 2.
Judy seeing her mother run into the house walked over to her dad before asking," Where is Nick?"
Stu answered," Probably working Carrot Field 3. Since he had already finish Carrot field 4."
Judy palmed her faced before replying," He is suppose to be resting. I better go get him."
Stu placed a hand on her shoulder before saying," Petey was attacked on Carrot field 2 and I promise to let Nick continue to work if he took a lunch break with me. Beside I let him used the tractor, so he would be able to get their faster. Plus he will have to return it here. So you can yell at him when he returns."
Bonnie told her kids exactly what happen. Making sure to let them know it was a stranger and not Nick that attack Petey not aware several of Petey's brothers were making sure he was okay.
Judy smiled and thought that hearing what Nick had done was going to go a long way in getting her family to accept him.
Hearing the tractor Judy ran outside to meet him but was stopped by Stu.
Stu smiled before saying," Give him a few minutes to put the tractor away." Not seeing Mark, Peter and Anthony sneak out the door.

Nick pulled the tractor into the barn, Seeing the trucks had left a spot between them for him to park it.
Nick stopped the tractor and turned off the key before deciding to leave the key in it. No use to be accused of stealing the tractor key before jumping down.
Nick winced as he realized he had over did it but figure a nice soak and he should be ready for tomorrow. He just had to find out what Stu had for him to do.
Without warning the three brothers jumped on Nick, forcing him to the ground.
Nick rolled with the force and came to face his attackers before asking," Why are you attacking me?"
Mark answered," You attack Petey" before the three charged at Nick.
Nick noticed that they did not have any weapons and dodge their attack before replying," I never attack your brother."
Peter said," I can not believe we ever trusted you." As the three again charged Nick.
Nick dodge again before replying," If you don't believe me talk to your father."
Anthony said," So you can run and hide." before signaling his brothers to switch tactics.
Nick realized they were switching from a charging tactic to a slower attack. Before yelling," Stu, Bonnie, Judy. Come here before I hurt someone."
Mark realized Nick calling gave him a chance for a successful attack and hit Nick in the ribs.
Nick cringed at the pain from blow and lost patients with the three rabbits. HE went into a fighting stance.
Peter charge Nick, expecting Nick to dodge either toward Anthony or Mark.
Nick lower his body and caught Peter right in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him.
Anthony and Mark seeing Peter drop to the ground, immediately charged Nick.
Nick smiled, same old mistake. He used his longer reach to grabbed the brothers before lifting them up and body slamming them to the ground close to Peter.
Peter said," Go ahead, You won. Do what you want."
Nick growled," I. DID. NOT. HURT. YOUR. BROTHER." Before getting off the three rabbits as Judy, her parents, and the rest of Judy's family came to the area.
Bonnie asked," What is going on?"
Anthony brushing himself off before answering," We were trying to hurt Nick for hurting Petey."
Judy asked," Why would you think Nick hurt Petey."
Peter answered," Petey said a predator attacked him."
Stu angrily replied," It was a stranger, a lion that attacked Petey. He had two female prey with him, probably what caught your brother off guard. Nick saved his life and probably the lives of the rest of pick up crew."
Nick having calmed down turned to Stu and said," I am heading to the Viceroy place. I will see you, tomorrow."
Anthony, Peter, and Mark started toward Nick, at the stare from their mother and Judy.
Nick seeing them approached, said," Don't bother." and started to walk away.
Stu said," At least allow me to drive you to the Viceroy's place."
Nick glanced at Stu before replying," I need some time to cool down. I will be back to help with the harvest but I don't want to see or hear anything from them," and continue to walk away.
Judy said," Nick, Let me drive you."
Nick turned before replying," Sorry but I need time to think and a nice walk will do me some good." Glaring at Judy until she acknowledge with a nod to leave him be.
Once Nick was out of sight, Judy turned to her brothers before asking," Do you think I would invite someone who would hurt my family home?"
Anthony replied," But sis, we-
"Were not using your brains," interrupted Judy.
Stu put a hand on his daughter before saying," Calm yourself, Judy. They were not thinking. Because if they were they would know I would never allow anyone who hurt one of my children to be welcome here."
Bonnie said," Supper is getting cold. After we eat. Anthony, Peter and Mark will be doing the dishes by themselves for three days or else." Glaring at her three sons.
Anthony looked at Mark and Peter before replying," Yes, Mom."
Stu said," During supper, I will tell everyone what happened. Than we are all having pie and ice cream. Both Supper and dessert will be served by Mark, Peter and Anthony."
Peter whispered to Mark and Anthony," We messed up big time. When Nick comes back we will have to apologize."
Bonnie said," Boys, you need to start serving everyone. We are all hungry."
Mark, Peter and Anthony all sighed before going into the house to start their punishment.
