Bo laughs and pokes Luke in the stomach. "Yeah cause ol' Luke here's wastin' away..." Bo grinned at B.L. "Yeah I am chripier....I drove General Lee.." Daisy laughed and tapped B.L "That's 5 bucks you owe me. I told you it was Bo that sent Rosco down that embankment!"

Bo scowled playfully at Luke with a pout, rubbing the back of his head as the girls came over. "Hey girls..." Daisy smiled and wrapped her arms round Bo's shoulders, careful of his back "Hey Bo, I have to say your lookin' miles better sugar!"

Daisy laughed as she pulled into the farmyard. "Yeah they sure do....doesn't Bo look so much better?! Wonder what the heck Luke did to him!" Bo grinned at Luke, laughing slightly and leaning back against the picnic table, starting to feel the sting and pain of the welt on his back again as well as the exhaustion of the day but he was determined to stay awake. He was too happy to go to sleep now and suffer another nightmare.

Bo grinned and reached up to ruffle Luke's hair, something he knew he hated simply because Bo was tall enough to do that....Luke could never figure out how Bo had managed to get so tall. "I know....I gotta help Uncle Jesse control ya somehow!" He too looked to the road and waved as Daisy sped round the corner, B.L riding shotgun

Bo grinned up at the roof. "S'alright cousin....bout time you got yer tail whipped anyhow." He laughed slightly and clamboured out the General, sliding gently to the floor and gingerly making his way across to the closest thing that would support him, the picnic table.

Bo grinned and pointed up to Luke "Yeah his fault....he was teasin' me with 'em..."

Bo sat up straighter and leaned out the window, folded his arms and placed his chin on them, giving him the best puppy dog eyed look he could. "I'm sorry Uncle Jesse....it was just too hard to resist....the keys were just jingling my name...."

Bo looks over from inside the General, smiling and laughing. "Sorry Uncle Jesse....its just habit is all!"

Bo pulled quickly into the farm driveway, grinning wildly and letting out a small grin as he pushed the Dixie horn and scared some of the chickens. He could never resist doing that, never. He turned the engine and slumped in the driver's seat, sighing contentedly, handing the keys back to Luke. "Take 'em off me 'afore I go again..."

Cooter laughed as he got the CB call and looked at the clock. "5 minutes boys, thats gotta be a new record!" Bo laughed and headed for home.

Bo grinned and shook his head. "Oh no cuz....I got a much better idea." He yanked on the wheel and spun the General round 180 degrees again, gunning the engine forward, getting closer and closer to Rosco until Rosco finally swerved off down the embankment. He stopped at the edge and looked down laughing as Rosco stepped unharmed out of his wrecked police cruiser.

Bo grinned and nodded, skidding expertly round the corners as if he's never even left the General's driver's seat, always keeping the speed at 50.

Cooter laughed and stepped away from the General, patting its roof and whooping. Bo grinned and threw the General into reverse, spinning him 180 degrees to face the correct way they needed to go, burning out the back wheels as he took off down the road and across the back roads instinctivly to the farm.

Cooter whoops with joy as Bo gestures for the keys and pats him on the back, returning the hand shake with Luke. "Will do buddy roe....how soon can I expect the call from Rosco to come pick him up?" Bo grinned as Cooter whooped and he (Bo) caught the keys, looking at the for a moment before sliding deftly into the driver's seat, catching the pat on the back Cooter gave him. He put the keys in the ignition and revved up the engine, feeling the adrenaline and rush of driving surge through him as he waited for Luke to slide in.

Cooter stood back and watched with bated breath. This would be one of the tests....to see if Bo was really back with them....the Bo they knew and loved.. Bo looked over at Luke as he dangled the keys to the General, the smile slipping from his face, biting gently on his bottom lip as he looked at them glinting in the sun. He looked from the keys to his cousin's confident face and the smile slowly crept back....he held up his hand for Luke to toss the keys to him.

Eventually Bo manages to get back under control, chuckling every so often, leaning against the General as he realizes he's now slid to the ground right next to Luke. He looked around and saw many of the citizens of Hazzard just looking over, smiling, not at all bemused by the scene...they were too used to something weird going on with the Duke Boys to care. Cooter eventually got back to his feet, offering a hand to both Bo and Luke. "Ain't you better be gettin' back to Jesse? He's gonna be wonderin' where ya are..." Bo took his hand and Cooter helped him stand up.

By this time Cooter was laughing too. Not at Luke, but because Bo's laughter was indeed so contagious. It had been missoing from everyone's lives for so long, and just to hear those first few chuckles escape his throat was like music to his own ears. He had missed the old Bo and Luke and now he was starting to get them back. "Sorry Buddyroe...." Bo just continued laughing, every so often pointing at him as he looked up, trying to say something, but would only collapse back into hysterical laughter. He always loved getting the one up on Luke, because his face as he realised that his younger cousin had outsmarted him was hilarious. It was a mix of complete surprise and humiliation and it tickled him every time. Eventually however he had to calm down as his chest finally decided it was time to give way and he fell down into a coughing/choking fit, still slightly laughing but now they came out more wheezy than anything else.

Cooter laughed and held up his hands. "I know you think I ain't got the good sense the lord promised a turkey Luke but I know when there's a fight between y'all just to stay with the winner...which means you may want to watch out fer...." But it came too late as Bo slipped his foot behind Luke's and gave him a fair shove, sending him falling backwards straight on his butt. Bo doubled up laughing, leaning against the General Lee.

Bo laughed and grinned at Cooter. "You think that's Luke talk fer 'Bo I quit, you's better than me, please just lemme go?' Cooter laughed at the look on Luke's face and nodded "Sounds like it ta me..."

Bo laughed and playfully grabbed his cousin's finger and twisted so that Luke's arm ended up wrenched gently behind his back. "And I swear I ain't gonna let him anywhere near the driving seat once I can get in it again so you have more buisness than usual." Cooter laughed and had to sit in the open passenger side of the car he had been working on. "Yeah I guess that'd work." Bo nodded still laughing. "Yeah...Luke's a little too tidy when gettin' rid o'Rosco and Enos."

Cooter laughed. "You better do or I's gonna be out of this garage quicker than Boss Hogg can eat lunch." Bo laughed and put his hand over the heart "As soon as I can drive again I swear I'll wreck Rosco's car three times over." Daisy smiled over at B.L, getting ready to close up the bar by doing the last rounds. She could tell her friend had had fun and that she hadn't faired too badly from the tips either.

Cooter grinned at the boys, leaning against the car he had been working on. "Well how do ya think buisness is? You's two are the only ones I know that can wreck enough cars in one day to put a mechanic to work for a week." Daisy sighed and leant on the bar, not tires being used to all this work, but glad that B.L seemed to be enjoying herself. She loved working here, loved seeing all the folks of HAzzard and nearly always was the information gatherer for Bo and Luke's plans from here.

Cooter apologetically released Bo from the bear hug. Boi just grinned and, while quickly recovering his breath, slapped Cooter gently on the back, showing no hard feelings. Cooter grinned and nodded at Luke's question "Well o'course ya didn't think I'd let them just go ta anyone else now did ya? They're right out back, i'll go grab 'em fer ya." With that he hurried to the back, searching around in the numerous boxes he had aqquired.

Bo slid happily out the General and called out to the mechanic too. EVentually his head popped out from underneath a car hood in the garage. "That you buddyroe's?" He moved out from under the bonnet and grinned widly letting out a whoop of joy as he saw both the boys looking as good as ever. Bo couldnt help but laugh a little and embrace his enthusiastic friend, gently slapping him as his arms squashed his still healing chest a little. "HEy cooter, lemme go....can't breathe when ya do that..."

Bo barley even recognized that they were in General Lee as Luke powered up the engine. Leaving the hut without his hands bound, without the feel of warm blood trickling down the side of his face, without the horrible sick feeling running through him really hit him hard. He really wasn't a prisoner anymore, the two guys who had held him really weren't anywhere near him. As Luke sent the General over the jump again, Bo felt all his worries, all his cares, all his fears soar away with the General except they didnt come back down with him. He grinned wildly as he felt the weight life of his shoulders and never return.
