BoJamesDuke

Soooo....maybe that's insinuating that they didn't all come to the farm at the same time...Bo might have arrived at the farm first for all we know....oh god this is all so confuddling....all I know is Luke is the oldest, Daisy middle, Bo youngest for certain....we need to write to Gy and get him to tell us properly lol

Bo sighed softly and nodded, closing his eyes as Daisy gently rubbed his back and kept one hand held in one of Bo's trembling ones.

To say someone's a tyke just means they were young when they arrived. As I understand it, from what Gy Waldron's been saying and stuff, this is what I get... The Duke cousins parents died in the same car accident...how that works I dont know, dramatic liscencing (it would help if I could spell that word lol) I guess. Luke is the oldest of the cousins, Daisy next and then Bo. Bo was only a baby when he arrived at the farm, Daisy is supposed to be two years older than him, and then Luke two years older than Daisy. This then makes him four years older than Bo. So therefore, if Bo is a baby, Daisy could have been 2 when she arrived and Luke 4. I have kinda always thought of it that way, what do other people think?

Bo swallowed and looked back to Daisy who nodded reassuringly too, giving him a gentle squeeze. Slowly, Bo nodded back and settled into Luke and Daisy's arms again, closing his eyes as he whispered. "Will you help me...help me be able to...to go outside again...."

Jesse sighed softly and pulled up at the farm, stopping the truck and looking out over it before turning back to Luke, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Luke...no one can make this decision for ya...its yours alone...all we can do is try an' point ya in the right direction. Now I ain't sayin' I trust Cassie a whole lot either, an' I can see why Bo would be upset....but at the end of the day son, this is about making you happy....what you want, not what Bo wants. What you have to ask yourself is, you may feel you love her, but most importantly can you truly trust her to remain as loyal to you as you will to her...trust her not to tear the family apart again, hurt them and you all over again....I'll support whatever decision you make Luke an' if you want to go after Cassie, i'll help Bo through it too...but its your life Luke, and if you feel Cassie truly has to be a part of that....then so be it."

Bo looked to Luke, listening and seeing the truth and determination in his older cousins eyes, seeing a protection there that he needed badly. Swallowing, he nodded as tears came to his eyes and he whimpered out. I'm so scared....

Bo stopped as Luke pressed his finger to his lips, looking to him frightened and confused. As he listened, he knew that Luke was making perfect sense, the doc's had told him this might happen too...but still it was scary enough that it was acutally happening to throw him all outta line. "I...they....they'll lock me away if I don't get better won't they....put me in the loony bin..."

Bo closed his eyes, shaking his head and letting Luke hold him, needing to feel the security of both him and Daisy. "That was a month or so ago....I should be over this by now...I should be....it wasn't even that bad! I just got hit by him is all...I shouldn't even be so badly traumatised....I'm not traumatised! And why didn't this happen in the hospital! Shouldn't it have happened directly after the thing actually happened..." He knew he was blabbering, making no sense whatsoever, but he needed to have this out loud reasoning with himself and needed Luke and Daisy to reassure him and hear it as well.

Bo sighed and whispered a thanks and short apology as she hugged him from behind, watching as she left before scrubbing a hand down his face, shaking his head. "Am I goin' crazy....am I really goin' crazy..."

Bo cuddled against his older brother and sisiter when Daisy joined them, putting the hot drink on the table, slowly claming as the shine took effect and his body ceased shaking and his mind became blissfully peaceful.

Bo drank the shine Luke slowly gave him, resisiting the urge to swallow the whole glass down in one go and going to get some more.

Bo shuddered in Luke's hold, shaking his head as he stared at the floor of the room "I know,...I know that..I dont understand this...I dont understand..." Daisy swallowed and started to make Bo a hot drink, finding the shine underneath the kitchen sink and pouring Bo a small glass, handing it to Luke.

Daisy looked up as the pair stumbled through the doorway, smiling but it soon fading as she saw the state Bo was in. Swallowing she cried out for Luke as Bo slid to his knees beside B.L.

Bo swallowed and nodded, glad she was keeping him close though he wouldn't admit it as she walked him home, jerking at noises around him sometimes, so very relieved when the farm came into sight.

Bo swallowed and shook his head, looking around. "I dont know what the heck it is B....I just...every little noise...this never got to me before! Why is it hittin' me so hard now?" Bo looked to her frightened, knowing that these kind of reprecutions sent people straight to the head doctors.

Bo looked to her, knowing she could see the change in him and sighing, nodding slowly as he got shakily to his feet, jerking sharply as he heard more noises and closing his eyes.

Jesse nodded gently as he listened and drove, thinking things over. "I take it this is also why Bo isn't with you...." He said softly, knowing that seeing her again would probably have shaken up Bo as much as it had Luke and the fact that Luke was probably talking like this around him had probably made him worse. Always having been the more emotional of the two cousins, Bo had probably gone to be alone and calm down....or so he hoped anyway.

mmmm possibly....you know I'd love to ask them some of these questions. It'd be so cool to find out the proper answers...

:-) Yup agree, although being trained for four years never to show emotion would have an effect on your home life, i've had a grandad in the military and my Uncle and you can tell that they have been because they rarely ever give hugs or show emotion at all.

Actually on that point, when Jesse finds out Bo never arrived, Luke doesn't seem that worried really. He leans against the door and laughs a little and is always smiling as he 'rushes' out to get into General Lee with Daisy. I thought that was interesting....

No, its great. That's what I love most about Dukes, its the fact you see how the characters really do grow up with each other and how their relationships grow closer which is something you really dont see a lot of in today's programmes. The only other programme i've seen for that is Friends.

Also maybe to see how Tom looked as Bo as well. Just because he read in doesn't mean that he was ever really considered for the role of Bo. I heard on some commentary that as soon as they saw Tom they wanted him for Luke....I can see why, with that rugged, kind of responsible older sibling thing going on whereas Bo has a more cheeky grin. Excellent casting I have to say, if only they could have gotten that in the poor 2005 movie.

Could be, or it could just be Luke's character. As an actor, it is your job to act like you like them, but what you have to see is that Luke was never really a very huggy person towards any members of his family particularly. It's nearly always Bo with his arm round Luke not the other way around. Lots of people have written in fan fics that thats because of Luke's time in the Marine's and stuff, its open to interpretation. :-) But that's my take on it anyway....

Anyone still reading the story? C'mon we wanna know what ya think and also, anyone wanna give us a challenge for our next Round Robin?

Hey, I'll join, I blag Bo!!! lol
