"Okay...i'll go get her, check on Bo and then get something to eat...do you want anything?" She asked, trying to seem like everything was as normal as possible...like really he was just here to see Bo.

"Sure thing sugar..." Daisy reassured gently, recognizing that he did in face need some time with Sara.

"I won't be disappointed...cause I know whatever the outcome you've tried your hardest...that's all me or Bo ask...is that you try..." She replied, seeing his gaze go to the door. "You want me to get Sara for you? I'll go get some dinner or something if you need t'talk with her..."

*yawn* What? Oh yeah, what she said *sleep*

\"I believe you can Luke...and Bo believes you can...cause your stronger than you think you are...\" She said gently, running a hand through his dark curls softly...it was something their Auntie used to do and something that, while Luke would never admit it, would always help to soothe him when he was upset or frightened when they were little.

\"But what you feel and what\'s actually true are two different things Luke...I know that you blame yourself for what happened t\'Uncle Jesse...but there was nothing you could have done...not even the doctors who are trained to deal with this stuff could help him...it was just his time to go...his body couldn\'t continue on anymore...even if you hadn\'t froze up like you did, it wouldn\'t have changed anything. You cannot stop aging...you can\'t stop weakening of body parts...no body can. Its life, something that happens to all of us...You haven\'t failed Luke, you\'ve just fallen at a large hurdle...you just have to, along with Sara, learn now to pick yourself back up..\" Daisy reasoned softly back.

Daisy smiled softly up at him, unable to believe that Luke couldn't see it. "Luke...you've always lead us...always. You've always kept us safe, always guided us down the right path right alongside Jesse...I know that it seems like its gonna be harder to do it without him there...but you still got all his teachings...nothing's really changed...and we're here when you need help...your not alone. Bo's always willing t'help ya, that's why he put you here...so you can get better. You are more capable than you believe you are of looking after yourself....looking after us...you survived 4 years in Nam without Jesse there t'hold yer hand and guide ya...you made your own way...and you made your own way back...that's the biggest test life can throw at ya in regards to leadership and looking after yerself...and you passed with flying colours Luke..."

Daisy looked up at him, putting a hand on his cheek. "Overwhelming? Cause suddenly now Jesse's gone, you've got no one to turn to and you have to lead everyone else?"

"Yeah...it is...we may not have Uncle Jesse anymore...but we still have each other...we still have the lives that Uncle Jesse helped us to start to continue on with like he would have wanted. It hurts the he can't guide us along our paths anymore...but if you think about it...really for so long, we've been growing more and more to wander the path ourselves and make our own mistakes...Jesse's been there to tell us what we did wrong but we knew that really...all we did was confirm what we knew with him..." Daisy explained softly, trying to reason out why it would be okay. "He knew we'd be alright...once we got past our grief...otherwise he would have hung on for longer..."

"S'okay Luke..." She said softly back, closing her eyes a little as she rested against him. It was nice to spend some time with him...he had been so distant recently..

Daisy softly rested her head on his shoulder, sighing softly. "I just...want my brothers back..."

Sammy had also noticed the change in colour and sighed softly, glad that TJ had been able to diffuse the situation before another argument that Bo was in the center of broke out. Shaking her head a little, she glanced at Enos who was standing around awkwardly again, putting a hand on his shoulder and saying gently. "Enos why don't ya go sit with Luke in the lounge and chat while me and Daisy do dinner...I'm sure he'd love to hear bout the police work you do in LA...he's always been inta solving crimes and things but...i'm sure you already know that...it'd be a welcome distraction I think..." Bo's attention meanwhile was back on TJ, hugging his boy close with a small smile, knowing that once again he had been close to losing his temper. He had to admit, he was getting a bit tired of this now, but it wasn't something he could help...

"Your not trouble Luke...everyone handles things differently...you've handled such a lot in your life already...the breaking point had to come sometime...m'just glad it happened now so you can move on...finally get the help you've needed all along. I can already see a change in ya..." She said quietly.

lol I know, but that's the beauty of it!!! lol Only us Dukes fans would know and for people who wanted to know what it was about, they'd have to watch Dukes!! See its a cleever marketing plan to get Dukes back in popularity even more!!

Hey y'all and right again everyone! The episode is indeed Luke's Love Story and congrats to Daisy for getting on quick and answering the bonus question. So what's the scene? Amy and Luke are standing in the barn working on her car, both debating I think what a woman can and cant do in the racing industry...Amy offers to take Luke for a ride with her bit and of course, Luke comes back with that little one liner Funny! Julie...I dont understand what your post had to do with this thread...but if you would like to join in please wait till next round and at least find out what the thread is about before you post in it. Okay, Next Quote! Let's see if you remember this one... Luke: S'cuse me and my cousin here ma'am but we're conducting a survey on whether women prefer little boys with blonde hair or men with dark hair... Girl: I prefer men who are bald... Bo: Well that's alright, I got a razor in the car, i'll go get it! lol, so again where'd it come from and... BONUS QUESTION: What is the name of the girl?! 1st person to answer wins the bonus point. SCORES Jessi Duke = 0 Daisy Duke = 4 Roger Duke = 3 Lori Davenport = 3 BL Davenport = 3

Daisy eventually sat on the edge of the bed, not breaking the hug, enjoying feeling Luke's caring, big brotherly hug again.

"That's because Uncle Bo never learned..." Daisy reasoned back, while TJ meanwhile had turned his attention back to his father. Even though he was only young, he could tell that Luke's intended bantering was actually annoying and aggrivating Bo's temper further. Breaking away from Daisy, he quietly toddled over to Bo and tugged on his trouser leg. Bo looked down, forgetting what angry response he was going to give Luke back upon seeing TJ, picking him gently. "What's up little man?" TJ cuddled his dad softly, resting his head on his shoulder. "Wove Daddy..."

Daisy shook her head, rubbing his back softly. "I wont Luke...I wont.."

"It is not a Bo-ism!" Bo cried indignantly, shaking his head. "You whine and complain too when it suits ya!" Daisy giggled and shook her head, turning her attention back to Abi. "Because Abi, you have to learn to be patient..."

Sorry, I would but I cant add any more programmes to my laptop as its full up with stuff...mainly Dukes screen caps and the like lol - as it is. If someone else could spare the time to do it, i'm sure they will Best thing to do though would be to buy the proper box sets.

As Luke squeezed her hands a little tighter, she bit her lip softly...she could see the fright hidden in his blue eyes and knew what he was thinking...sometimes it was something she thought about too...which one of their family members would be next...but then she had always talked to Uncle Jesse about it and could run through the conversations they'd had together many a time to soothe her. Shaking her head a little she stood up and leaned over, hugging him tightly.

Daisy giggled a little while Bo poked him indignantly. "Excuse me, I ain't around here enough fer her t'learn things like that offa me!" Daisy ignored the two boys, turning her attention back to her neices and nephews. "If you two can behave through dinner i'll give ya yer surprises afterwards, okay?"

Looking up at him, she swallowed softly. "I suppose I could but...I dont know....the farm needs t'be taken care of and...Uncle Jesse's...funeral and everything still needs t'be arranged..."

Daisy had to fight back the urge to just cling to her older cousins hands. She didn't want to go home tonight though she knew she had no choice...she didn't want to leave the only people that were her family now.

If you have a multi region DVD player, I think that the box sets from America actually have Spanish subtitles...m'not sure though...I'll check my season 7 set and see if they have them on there.
