"You earned each one, Cowlorado." Moo teased as he crossed his arms. "And don't forget, you're never too old for one either."



"Yeap." Dakota chuckled as Cowlorado's face went bright red.


"What!? Moo, you-you can't be serious!"

"Lucky for you, you haven't done anything to earn one, lately...ye." Moo smirked.

"Came close to it with that stunt you pulled with Five Card Cud though." Dakota raised an eyebrow as Cowlorado looked to the floor, wishing it would just suck him up at that moment.

"It's clear you would like to do it just for a laugh, so, why not get it over with?" Cowlarado snapped.

"Reign it in, Tenderfoot." Moo chuckled as he playfully ruffled Cowlorado's head. "We're just ribbin' you. We've all gotten our fair share of tannings."

"Yeah, I'm sorry, guys." Cowlarado said.

"Don't fret about it, Kid." Dakota gently patted the junior deputy on the back.

The next day, Cody was sent to the school house. He still remembered that Jake and Carly ran when Moo's window was smashed and was still mad about it. When he saw them, he glared at them.

"Hey guys." Cody snapped coldly at the two. "Thanks for leaving me behind."


"Sorry Cody..." Jake said sheepishly as Carly glared at him.


"I'm not! I told you not to play near the Marshal's office!" The little heifer crossed her arms. "But you went ahead and did it anyways!"

"And Jake threw the ball and Moo whopped me!" Cody said.
