Bo shook his head with a slight humourless laugh. "The only reason I opened the jail cell was so I could give him a smack round the face which actually felt really good after so long." He admitted to his Uncle without looking at him, looking at his knuckles that were still quite sore instead as he carried on speaking. "I'll be civil an' i'll go back up there, but you need to come too with Daisy 'cause he's got some sort of a plan he wants to put into action apparently. An' also, if he mentions Cassie an' how much he loves her even once, i'm not stickin; around otherwise i'll just loose my temper."

As the thunder boomed through the farmhouse, Bo near jumped out of his skin, swallowing as he looked out the window and saw that the sky had gotten darker with the heavy clouds if that were even possible.

*laughs* Sorry Uncle Jesse, but ya know if I didn't say it then someone else would have. I just thought you'd have liked ta hear it from family rather than someone else. As for my tricycle, nah that wasn't the first thing I jumped an' i certainly weren't orange. The only reason I like the orange colour General Lee has is because it suits him, and that only happened cause it was the only colour paint in Cooter's garage. I used t'hate the colour orange. The first thing I ever jumped was the General Lee, hence mine an' Luke's surprised expression when I actually jumped over the creek on General Lee's first birthday. Me an' Luke jumped ourselves over small streams an' the like at times, but no nothing on wheels have I ever jumped before the General Lee. When my tricycle broke, Cooter's dad actually came round and tried to fix it for me but it was kinda damaged beyond repair as Maudine kinda trampled it when she got loose and went for a run around the farm. That upset me, but then I got a big boys bike so it weren't so bad.

Bo frowned and watched Daisy a moment before looking to Jesse in confusion, to which Jesse shook his head with a small smile. "She's right boys but Daisy just you calm down, its not that funny..."

"Oh come on, you can't be sitting there crying with laughter and not tell us Daisy..." Bo said back

Bo frowned a little, glancing to Luke before looking back to Daisy. "Yes you do what's going on?"

Bo looked to Daisy as she kept giggling. "What's the matter with you?"

Jesse sighed and shook his head "Alright boys that's enough for tonight thank ya.." Bo sighed and nodded "Yes sir.."

Bo shrugged "Sorry you can't handle the truth cousin..."

Bo nodded, sipping his cocoa before saying back. "Yeah course...I learned the basics from you and improved them which is why I;ve had more girls..."

"Let's just say....that that thing you and Uncle Jesse didn't want me to know about when I was a kid that you were already doing...I got graphic vocal lessons about..." Bo replied with a smirk.

Bo narrowed his eyes with a smirk "Don't get me started or i'll start on what I could hear playin out in the yard sometimes comin' from the barn..."

Bo smiled a little and sat back against the couch, sipping his cocoa before saying. "You gotta stop doin' that.."

Well it wasn't really nice...if I wanted a ride usually I'd have to do something for it...like his chores...

Aww dang I was enjoying my nap too...ah well.. Yer right, Luke's four years older. When Luke was drive, I was only young so actually I thought it was awsome that he could legally drive. As soon as he passed, he was showin' me how t'drive down empty back roads and then...if I begged real nice...Luke would drive me t'school an' pick up me an' my buddies from places to make me seem cooler...course...Luke got more girls cause of it but hey, really helped bump up my reputation for future years.

Bo frowned and looked to him "Huh? I didn't say or do anything..."

Bo nodded a little as he wrapped himself up in a blanket too, sitting inbetween Luke and Jesse, smiling up at Daisy as she handed him a hot chocolate. Daisy smiled and handed them round before settling in her own blanket softly. "There is a bit of a one yeah..."

Bo bit his lip as the hard reality of what Luke was saying hit him. He too had heard the rumours of what had happened to all the boys that Rebecca had dated...or had tried to date...and they weren't exactly happy or fun sounding neither...The problem was...he was already hooked and Luke knew it too from the look in Bo's eyes. Luke sighed and shook his head, patting Bo's shoulder before leaning into the General and calling for Cooter on the CB.

Bo glanced back and smiled a little at Luke before taking his boots off and putting them in his bedroom, coming back out and taking over the 'bed' making from Daisy on the living room floor in front of the fire. Daisy smiled a little as she heaed to the stove to stat making the hot cocoa. In a way she was glad that Bo was frightened of storms. It gave the whole family a rare chance where Rosco and Enos and Boss weren't chasing them, to sit down as a family and just talk with each other.

Bo shook his head as Jesse stopped talking, looking down at the floor as he tried to calm himself down enough to speak. There was just too many emotions going through Bo at the moment, many of which he had bottled up on the race track so that he didn't have to deal with them. Betrayal, Anger, Hurt, Grief, Sadness, Guilt...it was like an emotional storm raging out of control and in truth Bo was not only frightened of the situation that was escalating beyond any sort of control he had, but he was frightened of himself and the kind of person he was becoming. "I can't sympathize with him...maybe I could have done before today...but after hearing what I heard in that jail cell I can't." Bo finally looked back up at his Uncle, tears shining in his eyes once more as Grief took over. "When Luke came back from Nam...he made a promise to me....when we became blood brothers he swore that he would never let anything tear us apart again...that nothing would ever stand in his way of us being brothers for life....what part of saying he'll willingly let a guy who tried to murder me walk free for some girl he's infatuated with beyond reason is keeping that promise?" Bo swallowed hard, forcing back a sob that wanted to escape so badly he was trembling from the effort not to dissolve into them. "I know I's been in a similar situation with Diane...but Diane didn't do anything wrong...nothin'. It was all Carl tryin' to kill me...she did love me...the only thing she did was break my heart an' as soon as I realised that I apologized to Luke and worked to get his trust back....its been a year...and Luke ain't even tried." Looking away, Bo sighed as he regained his composure a little and muttered. "I'll be civil to him...that's the best I can do...he's got a lot to make up for before I even think about letting him call me cousin again...let alone brother...the only reason I ain't makin' him call me Beauregard an' not Bo is cause I hate the name..."

meh that's okay...we got so many still sites I dont remember which ones are where and what number they are...Luke knows which is why he tells me where t'go when I drive ;-P

Does it bother me Miz Tisdale can ride a wheelie longer then me?! Shucks no! She's been poppin' wheelies since I was a lil kid on a tricycle, so been doin' it so much longer than me. I can drive a ca better cause I been practisin' that more and she can pop a wheelie better cause she's been practisin' that more. S'a fair trade i'd say an' we can always teach each other a thing or two. I think its great she's got her own unique talent besides deliverin' the post an' chasin' after Uncle Jesse...which reminds me...Uncle Jesse when's the weddin' again? *says with a smirk*

Bo nodded gently, looking up as Jesse and Daisy came through with the blankets and pillows from all the rooms with a smile. Ever since he could remember, anytime there was a storm, the Duke family all gathered in the living room by the fire which Jesse would start in the fireplace, snuggled under blankets with warm mugs of Cocoa and talk way into the night.

"Great..." Bo muttered as he finished washing up his hands and headed into the lounge.

Shucks those last two are easy ones...but if any of ya call me by my full name I refuse to answer y'alls questions got it...mine's Beauregard James Duke. There I said it, and never again! As for the driver's liscences. We got caught running shine. Which means that in order for us to run shine we had to know how to drive and have a driving liscence with which to do it. Therefore, we went to Atlanta to get our driver's liscences when we was old enough to and that was way before we was on probation.
