Sara gasped indignently, putting her hands on her hips. "It is not!" Bo chuckled, shaking his head. "S'alright Sara, I dont believe him."

Bo nodded, leaning against the wall and folding his arms with a smile on his face. "M'good, things are goin' as smooth as ever...and I can see what ya mean, you look like you done slept with a coat hanger in yer mouth..."

Bo grinned and opened the door, finding Sara and Luke as always sat side by side and having one of their more fun filled talks this time around. Sara had always made sure to balance heavy conversations with light hearted ones to keep him balanced and show him exactly what she was trying to prove. As bad as things could get, you can always find some kind of good side to it...as long as you took it on board and balanced out the argument, things never seemed as bad as they did initially. "Hey cuz, how you doin'?"

Totally agree with Daisy. It isnt fair for you to start calling him things like that, a character is a character believe in him all you want. Tom is a real person, with real feelings and problems just like the rest of us. Kay, he got caught with 1.2 grams...jeez that's not even enough to make a joint to be honest with you. Not talking from experience but I know how big 1.2 grams is. Granted this could just be leftovers, whatever. Its not like he's got caught supplying anything, actually taking the stuff...there could be some underlying story behind this that the media know nothing about. Who knows and quite frankly who cares? The media put this stuff out because it causes a stir amoung people, thats why stars get harrassed as much as they do. Because we the public lap it all up. I hope that someone close to Tom sees this and starts to put him back on the right road. He has a great broadway career, all he needs is help sorting out whatever issues he has.

Bo smiled and shook his head, amazed at how much one person had done to turn Luke's life around in such a short time. It had always seemed to him that what was in Luke's head could have filled 5 whole library's...maybe even more...but somehow Sara had gone through the lot and re filled everything so it was all back in order with any uneccassiry things being thrown out. There was such a change in his older cousin now, but even so, he was still the big brother Bo remembered. Knocking on the door, he asked. "Is it safe t'come in?"

*MANY WEEKS LATER* Bo: *walks through the corridors of the hospital, a spring back in his step as he whistled, walking down to Luke's room.*

Sara nodded gently, taking up her clipboard and pen again and writing some things down before putting it aside.. "So...what's the first thing we need to sort out..."

"If you feel like your at the point where you're ready to tell that to him..then we need to start working through what it is that stops you from shutting him up..." She suggested gently.

"Then don't be..." She said softly. "Tell that guy in yer head who keeps on bringing these flaws up to give it a rest. Shut him up Luke, and let yourself see the good that your doing...the good that can come from a situation..."

"You really are doing so well Luke...you've only been here a couple of days remember...your not gonna see improvement straight away because your improving in things you dont think matter..."

"Course you are...its just a stage of grief that you're stuck in right now...everyone gets through it eventually with the right help..." She reassured gently.

"Your doing really well...you just tend to keep getting stuck at points that are harder for you to overcome...you need to accept when you do something right and move on thinking about that..the fact it was right...the fact YOU did it...not anyone else..."

"Its ok Luke...but you know as well as I do that sitting her dwelling in these emotions for too long isn't gonna help now is it? We need t'get t'the root of this problem t'solve it...not stay stuck in the mud at one place...agreed?" She reasoned with him softly, showing him that while it was ok to feel that way, it was not ok to keep on dwelling in it for so long.

Sara kept rubbing his back gently, she would comfort him and be supportive but there were times when she knew he needed to be pushed a little forwards...when she needed to be firm and basically tell him to suck up but in nicer terms. She knew a lot of this was down to the fact that Luke was still hanging onto his Uncle, and that was something she needed to get him to let go of. "Now...we can't sit here all day like this can we...people'll get the wrong impression..." She said with a small smile.

"Now that isn't true at all...look what yer doing here...when we started you wouldn't have even attempted to shake my hand...and yet here you are activly seeking comfort...your talking to me...your crying without shame...Luke your taking massive steps forward but like I said because you have this huge mental block that only lets you see the negative of what you do, you cant see the progress and the good..."

Sara shook her head, smiling a little at the public affection Luke craved...before he wouldn't have dared even really touch her..apologizing if he accidentally did. This was a big move forward, "No...yer not. Its different today because Daisy's here...you feel a need to impress her, show her your moving on when inside your not as moved on as you try and make her believe and it upsets you..."

Sara sighed and sat next to him more on the bed, rubbing his back softly. "Hey now...where's all this coming from...we were doing so well yesterday..."

"He's doing ok....its mainly the exhaustion keeping him unconcious like we said before...we're monitoring him closely to make sure no complications due to his head injury arise..." She informed him gently.

Sara shook her head softly. "Your not hurting everyone....your hurting yourself by only seeing things in a negative light...all you can see is yourself failing because that's all you believe you do...and no can tell you otherwise..."

"Don't think you can do what?" Asks softly as she sits down on the edge of the bed near him.

Sara paused a moment in surprise...not having heard him talk that way before. Nodding a little she let her hair tumble back down past her shoulders. "Okay..."

All of you are correct Well done, so what's the scene? Well, the boys roll into Hazzard and see Thelma standing on the side walk. They proceed to argue in the car (I have the quotes for that too lol) before pulling up and thus the exchange begins. Congrats all of you and to BL who got the Bonus Point this round. Okay, next quote is.... Bo: Enos, you been taking Rosco pills?! Luke: He means are you gonna arrest us fer somethin' we didn't do? No bonus point this round, but where did this quote come from SCORES Jessi Duke = 0 Daisy Duke = 5 Roger Duke = 4 Lori Davenport = 4 BL Davenport = 5

As Daisy had said, it wasn't very long before Sara entered the room, putting up her hair from where she had let it down whilst on a break for ten minutes. Smiling to him as she did, she said softly. "Daisy said you wanted t'talk t'me?"

"Alright...m'sure Sara will be in in a minute..." Getting up, she laid a soft, tender kiss to her older cousins forehead before walking out the room.
