eventually Bo's breathing settled back down to normal as he breathed in the medicated air and listened to Luke's calming voice. He wished now more than ever that he wasn't being such a baby about his situation, seeing the worry in his families eyes and the panic hidden in their voices. And the doctors had said to him that this might be permanant too...how could he live with that and the fact that he might very well be going crazy?! He pulled away from the inhaler gradually and sat back, closing his eyes. His heart still felt like it was racing at a million miles an hour but at least he could breathe easy again with only a slight wheeze and a cough.

Bo swallowed, sitting with Cooter on the porch. He slowly scrubbed a hand down his face, shaking a little with anger and he supposed a little fear, trying to calm hismself down which proved to be unsuccesful. "Cooter I can't be around Luke! Knowing him he's probably down at the jail house to free her and let her roam wherever she wants....she nearly got me killed Cooter! I still have health problems because of it, I still have NIGHTMARES because of it and Luke knows it! I may be being selfish in the way i'm thinking but he's letting a murderer back into his life! Into everyone's lives....that....in my view right now that makes him as bad as her, he's her acomplise! I don't wanna be around him, and Uncle Jesse'll take his side too. If he wants to date her again then fine but i'm not going to be a part of his life anymore. He has a choice to make....I've already got a guarenteed place on the NASCAR circuit, all I ever needed was a reason to go and Boss' permission which you know he'll give me in a heartbeat....guess now i've got the reason all that's left to do is go see Boss. I just need a place to stay until its sorted out....I am NOT staying in a place where I don't feel safe...and as long as Cassie has Luke under her thumb I don't feel safe." He finished, looking out over the land, his face red from the rant and breathing hard in anger and despair. If the tables were reversed and it was Bo doing this, Luke would be the first one to jump in and convince him it was wrong. He was such a hypocrite and Bo was sick of it.

Bo swallowed as he walked inside and paused as he looked around, leaning on the counter as he got to thinking about everything, clenching his jaw as his scar throbbed with a phantom pain and memories sprung up. Shaking his head he turned and stormed back out the door, turning to Cooter. "Cooter can I move in here?"

Bo had no choice but to let Jesse and Luke move him to the couch, too focused on trying to slow his heart and breathing down to care about much else. He didn't know what was happening but it felt like a panic attack gone completly off the chart. Daisy ran from the room and retreived the 5 different inhalers Bo had, not knowing which one Jesse wanted, bringing them all hurridly back.

Bo nodded, trying to catch his breath, not thinking anything was wrong with him, just his lungs playing up again where they were damaged. Daisy swallowed gently and looked to Luke first and then Jesse, something looked wrong and while Bo wouldn't admit it, he looked ill.

Daisy watched despairingly, she hated to see her baby cousin like this and hated the guy that had done this to him in the first place even more. She didn't understand how a friend could do such a thing to another friend...but then she supposed when a friend wasn't a friend anymore it didn't matter. She thought that maybe that was what was wrong with Bo more than anything. The reasoning behind his jumpiness could be that he simply didn't trust his friends anymore, that he suspected anyone and everyone now to attack him from behind. Ot at least his sub concious was, if you asked Bo if that was what was going on, he would probably deny it even though a nagging feeling in the back of his head would have told him that was it. She softly rubbed his back and ran her fingers through his mess of bouncy blonde hair, soothing him through actions while Luke and Jesse tried to through words. But Bo found that no matter how hard he tried, it was like someone had turned the rate of his heart up to maximum and it wasn't about to slow down anytime soon. He swallowed and coughed harshly, leaning forward and holding his chest with one hand.

Bo nodded, heading inside. "I'll just go nap for a little while thanks Cooter...thanks very much..." He was so thankful that Cooter wasn't asking anymore questions. He really couldn't answer them right now.

Bo looked disbelievingly to his older cousin, shaking his head "What scrambling away and breathing so hard they're barely breathing at all?! Luke...please....I know that reactions not normal..."

Jesse sighed as he watched Luke go, praying for his family and their saftey and hapiness. Bo swallowed "Can I just be left alone please Cooter...I'm tired...."

Bo nodded, his head hung and his eyes still closed. Daisy swallowed and came in from the kitchen, kneeling beside him. "Bo I'm so sorry..." "No! No don;'t be sorry! You dropped a board....I should be apologising to you! NO one reacts like that...no one..." Bo practically yelled.

lol many people think that. No, Catherine never had anything with the two gorgeous Duke boys. John once said somewhere that one of the most FAQ's he gets is did he sleep with Daisy. He said the answer was definitly no.

Okay, some of these quotes are Bo as well but Bo has loads in his favourite quotes thing and I didnt think it was fair lol. But I think some of these are just such a good example of how Bo and Luke play off each other :-) Enjoy...there are quite a few for your entertainment :-S ------ The Hazzard Connection.... Luke: If you don’t slow down yer gonna get another speeding ticket. Bo: Ah Luke your just jealous ‘cause that nice new waitress down at the Boar’s Nest took a cotton to me and not you. Luke: Jealous, I ain’t Jealous! Her legs are too skinny. Bo: Luke, her legs are not too skinny! Luke: Maybe it’s just in comparison ‘cause you got shoulder’s like a line backer. Bo: It ain’t funny….That is not funny. ****** (Bo and Luke are driving in separate Junkers, yelling out the windows at each other.) Luke: She got skinny legs and crooked feet! Bo: Then the moon’s made out of cream cheese buddy! (Bangs into Luke) Bo: You’re just jealous because she’s four inches taller and that threatens your masculinity. Luke: Well if you’d take off them platform cowboy boots she’d be eating off the top of your head too! ******** Bo: Ah Enos, what are friends for huh? Luke: Which reminds me Enos…ain’t you and Rosco been paying us Dukes a little more than our share of attention lately? Enos: I’m sorry Luke, that’s police business, my lips are sealed. Bo: You know Enos, we kinda thought you’d say that. Luke: Still in all it don’t seem right to me a fellow should think something bad about his friends and not tell them about it. Enos: Well gosh Luke I’m sorry, I just can’t tell you. Bo: Well Enos I sure wouldn’t want it on my conscience that I wouldn’t let a buddy of mine defend himself against – Luke: Ohmigosh! Bo: What? Luke: The brakes! Bo: The Brakes?! Enos: Do something Luke! Luke: I am I’m praying! Enos: I can’t do it! I can’t meet my maker with it on my conscience! Bo: With what on your conscience Enos? Enos: Sheriffs investigating Augie Detweiller. Thinks he’s a smuggler. Luke: Smuggler? Augie Detweiller?! Enos: Sheriff don’t know what he’s smuggling, only that Cooter and you Dukes is in on it and maybe Jesse and Daisy too! Bo: Well if that ain’t enough to slow a fella down… (Luke slows down) ******* Luke: You got that right…Unless we beat Rosco to the punch and find out what Detweiller is smuggling before he does! Its simple!....Wonder why I didn’t think of it before…. ******** Bo: Well…I count four of them in the crew, that’s two a piece…but seeing as you’re my buddy you can have one of mine… Luke: You’re generous to a fault. ******** Bo: Well whatever we’re looking for ain’t in here. Luke: O’course it ain’t! Bo: Nah it ain’t… ********* Luke: But we’re gonna need some help Uncle Jesse. We got a couple of guys madder than hornets behind us lookin’ to sink there stingers into some embarrassing places. (With this one, what makes it so comical is the way he says embarassing...makes me giggle every time.) ********* These are from various epsiodes that I cant remember where they come from lol ******* Luke: There’s your smugglers Rosco, you better grab them. I’m gonna go after Bo and the evidence I’ll be right back. ********* Luke: If brains was dynamite Rosco couldn’t blow his nose. ********* (At a warehouse. There is a guard in front of the door. Luke starts walking towards the door.) Guard: (seeing Luke) Hey you! Luke: Howdy. Guard: What are you doing? Luke: Well actually I’m looking for someone. (Bo jumps down off the roof and on top of the guard) Oh and here he is now! Bo: (gets the guard off the floor) Luke: This here’s my cousin Bo. Bo: (knocks the guy out cold.) ********** Bo: That sure was a funny place to put a barn. Luke: You try a fool stunt like that again and I’ll find an even funnier place to put one! ********** Bo: Ha ha. He sure is good. Luke: Well you can tell him that. He's gonna catch us any minute the way you're pokin along. Bo: Well I was gonna let you take that bow and hit his tires but I'm afraid you' miss and hit ours. Luke: I sure wish there were some girls around here. Maybe you'd show off and drive faster! ********** Bo: Looks like we lost Rosco Luke: Cousin we never lose him, we just misplace him. ********** Luke: You ARE aware this road goes to Dry Creek? Bo: I AM aware this road goes to Dry Creek. Luke: You are aware there's no way to get OVER Dry Creek? Bo: [stepping down on the gas, grinning] I am aware there is ONE WAY to get over Dry Creek! Luke: Oh, Lordy! We're gonna die! ********** Bo: Luke, I told you not to go this way. Luke: How was I supposed to know the bridge was out?! Bo: By that big, white sign that says ‘Bridge Out!’ ********** Jesse: "When You (Bo) was hungry, or wanted something, you used to scream like... like a baby!" Bo: "Wait a minute! I was never--" Luke: "Some things never change, do they?" *********** Luke: Take that shortcut over there.*points* Bo: That’s not a shortcut. Luke: It will be once you take it! Bo: You got a point. *********** Bo: they're shootin at us! Luke: course they are, what'd you expect em to do? Throw darts? *********** Bo: It’s just a bugs bunny doll, who would shoot at a bugs bunny doll? Luke: Elmer Fudd. *********** Bo- "Ya got any idea what's wrong with it?" Luke- "Only that the problem's religious in nature." Bo- "Religious?" Luke- "Yeah, you'd better pray I can fix it." *********** Bo: Enos, you been taking Rosco pills? Luke: What he means is, are you gonna give us a ticket fer somethin’ we didn’t do? ************ Luke: Hey Bo, do you wanna drive….*looks and sees Bo is asleep.* I guess not. ************ Luke: If everything is coming your way, chances are you’re in the wrong lane. ************ Bo: You figured out if it's us he's chasin’? Luke: Yep got it all figured out. See anybody in front of us? Bo: No Luke: Then it's us! ************

Okay this one had been aforemention, when Jesse is yelling at Luke in Carnival of Thrills, but I am sad and know the whole scene lol. So i thought I'd share it with you all because it is fantastic and Jesse is just so funny. Balladeer: No sooner than Uncle Jesse and Daisy got Luke sprung out of Iron City, they sprung another surprise on him. Luke: What’s the matter Daisy; you forgot the way back to the farm? Jesse: We ain’t goin’ to the farm. Daisy: We’re headed to the fairgrounds to try and talk some sense into Bo’s head. Luke: That’ll be the day. Jesse: Now Luke, Bo may be acting a little stupid these days but he ain’t the first man to be smitten by a woman. Luke: Uncle Jesse, it’s a waste of time. Anybody who’s fool enough to let a girl like that come between him and his family…he don’t even deserve to be called a Duke. Jesse: Daisy, stop the car. Daisy: What? Jesse: Turn her off! I said turn her off! Daisy: Ok. *stops and Jesse gets out.* Jesse: Get out! Luke: What for? Jesse: Just get out here! Couple of things you and me have got to settle. *Luke gets out* Jesse: Now then. If there’s one thing I taught you boys I thought it was there’s two sides to every argument. Luke: All right, well this time Bo’s on the wrong side! Jesse: Oh he is is he? Well his excuse is he’s in love what’s yours? Luke: Well I don’t take kindly to being punched in the face for speaking my mind! Jesse: Oh! So your pride’s been hurt?! And you gotta strike out and hit something? Well all right, hit me! Luke: Uncle Jesse, you know I can’t! Jesse: Why not? I’d rather see you hit me than go through the pain of watchin’ you two hit each other! Now listen to me. Us Dukes ain’t got much when it comes to worldly goods but we got something more important. We got love and respect for each other that binds us together like glue! Us Dukes is one. So just put them up! Just go ahead, put ‘em up! *Luke starts to laugh* ‘Cause I’ll tell you what, I ain’t about to stand aside and see my family torn apart by a couple of hotheads that think they got no more sense than a chicken raiding a foxes den! It ain’t funny! Luke: *Laughing* All right Uncle Jesse, you win! I was hotheaded, I was a Jackass! I can see the only thing we got is family and boy what a family! All we gotta do is convince Bo that the family’s the important thing! Come on, hop in. Let’s go. Jesse; Get in there! Luke: All right, All right I’m going. *Gets back in the Jeep* Start her up Daisy. Come on Uncle Jesse; get in for Pete’s sake. Jesse: You know…it is kinda funny.

Bo pondered Luke's move for a moment before moving a piece of his, settling in to the game more as it progressed, letting his guard down more without realising it as his focus shifted from being scared at every little movement to winning the game. However that swiftly changed when Daisy accidentally dropped the wooden chopping board and the thud of wood on floor echoed through the fam house. Bo instantly jumped and scrambled backwards, looking around startled and closing his eyes in embarrasment when he saw what it was.

Bo looked over and nodded after thinking about it for a minute, going to fetch the checker board.

Bo nodded, resting back against the headboard briefly before standing up and stretching lightly.

Bo nodded, thankful that Jesse hadn't questioned or commented on his jumpiness, smiling a little bit. "It smells great already..."

Bo jumped sharply as the door opened, once more cursing his new jumpy nature. "Yeah Uncle Jesse.....just....everything's the same as usual...well what's usual around here now anyway."

Daisy smiled and nodded, titling her head back a little. "Bo was whimpering and tossin' in his sleep...I was about ta go to him but Luke walked in and went to him instead....I ain't heard nothin' from them since so I assume they're still in their room..."

Jesse sighed as he stood by and listened to the conversation, looking to Luke as he asked permission to use the truck. He nodded gently, but put a hand on his shoulder to stop him rushing off. "Luke...if yer going to Bo, or you run into Bo somewhere, don't push him...he'll come back when he's good and ready...you know that...if yer going to Cassie....just....all I ask is you keep yer guard up son..." Bo nodded at Cooter's question, standing next to the mechanic and asking wearily. "Cooter can I stay here? I don't wanna go back to the farm right now an' listen to how Luke wants to go back with Cassie...Ic an't guarentee I wont do something i'll regret later if I do..."

Bo smiled a little and hugged his older cousin back, feeling the old sense of security and saftey in his hug with a sigh. Sometimes he didn;t know what he would do without his family and it was times like this he was glad that they were such a close unit.

Bo nodded a litlte but still didn't look up, not knowing what the family had in store to help him but knowing that they would help as they had promised and whether he wanted them to or not.

Bo snorted softly, shaking his head "Oh yeah sure...with a bottle of sleeping pills maybe..." He shook his head, wishing that he didn't have to go through all of this...wishing that the guy wasn't behind bars so he could put him through all of this pain and suffering he had inflicted. Now usually Bo was not that sort f person, but this was already wearing his patience down so bad that he really didn't care.

Sick of people trying to contact him and not wanting to talk to anyone, Bo reached down and turned he CB off as he drove, arriving at Cooter's in no time and sliding out the car, seeing the mechanic on his porch. He headed over carefully. "Hey Cooter...."

Bo closed his eyes and rubbed them again before looking to Luke. "Yeah....just....wish I could actually have a decent sleep sometime soon..."
