LoriDavenport

Loir walked to the back of the bus and sat in front of Luke, she kept on looking over her shoulders at him. Cooter sat with Bo and Dixie sat with Daisy. Lori saved a seat all to herself so her friedn Mylinda could sit with her. Shed hope luke would sit with her. Next stop was Mylinda, come to find out Mylinda was sick that day so Lori had to sit by herself, Cooter kept bugging her,"Lori loves l......" "Cooter, leave her alone!!!" Luke said as he turned to face him, Lori turned to Luke, "Thanks." Luke.........

Loraine smirked cocking her gun,"Wanna take this outside then Frank, Jesse yer stayin out of it, this is tween me and Frank." Loraine kept her eye on them, she knew she was dead in an instant, but she didnt care.

Lori groaned and and threw the covers off,"Im up! im up!!" Lori trudged into the bathroom to shower, the water was cold! "COOTER!!!!! YOU USED ALL THE HOT WATER!!!!" Cooter jolted up from the breakfast table and ran for his room, as Lori came out wrapped in a towel,"Ill beat yer brains in boy!!!" Luther walked through the house and grabbed Lori by the arm,"Hurry up young lady, these two are ready, you aint!!" Lori nodded going in to put on a little white skirt, with a pink tank top, wearing a levi jacket over it. She walked out her hair pulled back and curled. She smacked Cooter as he walked by. Grabbing a muffin for she left, she kissed luther on the cheek and ran out after the bus.

Loraine's eyes turned solid black ,"Go ahead, Frankie!!! kill me!! have all these witnesses around ya, thought you were smarter than that?!!" "Parently, yer big bright idea to drown Joe didnt work fellers, Hank saved him, and you didnt have the chance to see me break the news to poor ole hanl bout ya'll, tsk,tsk, no ya'll had to run off and leave poor ole joe t' die!!! twirnt expecting me and hank though was ya?"

Loraine pulled up to the post and jumped off trigger walking in, she pulled her gun out and walked into Franks room,"Alright Frank!!!! you've crossed the line dang you!!!! i told you keep it up!!!!!!!" Loraine looked to Jesse who stood up with his gun pointed to her as well.

Lori shook her head,"Luke it cant be that gosh dang simple!!" She set her beer down and rubbed her head,"Luke....hes gonna wanna know anyways, and we're gonna have to bring it up sometime or another." "APPARENTLY you dont remember highschool, too much do you?" Lori spoke Lori said,"No, I wasn't after Robin was, I was beofre, WAYYY beofre!" Luke winced at her tone,"Im sorry!! geesh!!!" Luke looked to her,"Go ahead then and tell me, considerin im lost!!" Lori punched his arm,"You dummy!!" I remember, unlike yuo, like it was yesterday............ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Wke up Lori!!!" Dixie said trying to wake up her cousin beofre she was late for the bus. Lori rolled over and smacked Dixie, groaning, Dixie..................

Loraine quickyl got on her horse and looked to Hank,"No, I never did set out to use you ya want to believe it though, go ahead! But Hank I really do love you and ill go to my grave loving you!!" with that Loraine looked to him one last time and shook he rhead blinking the tears away from her eyes,with a loud "YA" she was off towards the hotel to settle something with Frank.

Loraine shook her head as she knew she had to admit the truth,"Hank, i aint been to truthful to ya, Frank and Jesse, its the James brothers' and they roped me into helping them out t' rob the bank, as Joe has already found out, joe wasn't lying to Hank, he was telling you the truth, the only thing is, is I fell head-over-heels for you and I ran from the James boys, now they're out to kill me and ya'll, I backed out of their plans sos I wouldnt hurt ya'll, specially you Hank. Loriane looked down as she felt her life flash beofre her eyes in a heartbeat.

Loraine looked to Hank and sighed,"Its me Hank, Joes got his reasons to wanna run from us." Loraine looked down it was time now to let him know the truth as bad as she hated to.

Lori smiled as she liatened to Dixie and Luke sing, she knew what Dixie was doing and it didnt bother her any. She watched as she left and wondered why. Lori got up and walked to the table were Luke and the others sat.Everyone looked to her and smiled,"Great job Lori." She nodded sipping on her beer, first beer she drank since Jesse Lukas' birth. Cooter looked to Beth and them and nodded, as it was getting late fer him as well. Everyone got up as well and left. cept fer luke who looked to her and smiled."You did a great job." Lori smiled and said,"Yea you wasnt bad yerself." Luke looked to her and down at his hands. "Listen, uh..... I was wondering Lor, are we actually going to tell them bout our highschool romance?" Loro nodded,"Yea, itll help them understand why me an you love each other and arent IN love with each other." Luke nodded,"Ok, were do we began?" Lori looked to him and...........

Loraine walked over to Trigger's saddle bad an dpulled out the blanket she had in there. She walked over to Hank and handed him the blanket to wrap around Joe to warm him up. She then back away againa s she didnt want Joe to see her.

Loraine smiled and sighed seeing that joe was alright, what she wasnt going to like was this next part, Joe noticing her there,Joe'd probably been to the hotel and found the..... ohh no. Thats why Frank and Jesse tried to kill him. Loraine got up backing away from the edge were the two dukes were.

Lori began to sing the couples favorite song. When she looked to them and smiled she could see how inlove they were with each other. She looked to her band who she gave them a 'hold on' look. The couple looked to her and asked her to yet again play another song," Well didn't ya'll go to the show?" Lori asked smiling to them. they shook their heads no and she sighed. she gave her band the beat to the song,"Red Hot Love." She thought on it a while and looked to Dixie, she walked over,"Would it bother ya any to let Luke here sing with me, mamas dont yer babies grwo up to be cowboys?" Dixie shrugged as she didnt care. Lori looked to Luke and asked him,"Come on!! come sing with me!!" Luke at first thought on it, her band had and extra guitar and handed it to him, she gave him and the band a beat and she announced,"Howdy ya'll, I needed some help with this song, as my good buddies waylon and willie aint here with me, i decided to get my old friend Luke Duke, help me out. Lori looked to Luke who began to sing"Mamas dont let yer babies grow up to be cowboys" Luke smiled to her as their voices harmonized perfectly together. When the song was done Dixie rolled her eyes to Luke and Lori, she looked to everyone ,"Hes havin fun aitn he???!" Everyone looked to her and their eyes got big. ~~~~~~~ Little Luke looked up to Uncle Jesse,"SIr, why isnt my mom and dad toghether?"

Loraine watched as Hank arose from the top pulling Joe above as he swam to the edge Loraine ran over to help him out of the water. Loraine looked around for Jesse and Frank.

Loraine rode on a little ways beofre convincing herself that Joe wasn't down this way, she rode on to the pond and stopped to let trigger get a drink beofre returning back to the crossroads. When she stopped she could see bubbles arising to the surface, she knew it had only mean tone thing, Frank and Jesse brung him trying to drown him. Loraine screamed out as loud as she could,"HANK!!!!HANK!!!!!HANK!!!!! HES HERE HANK!!!!!HES DROWING!!!HANK!!!!!!!!" Loraine could only hope that Hank would hear her.

Loraine nodded to him,"You too." and took off threw the brambles. She couldnt see or hear nothing down her way, she wondered if Hank found him. Jesse climbed on his horse and followed Frank heading back out to the hotel. come rain, sleet,snow, or hail, they WERE going to rob that bank.

Loraine nodded and climbed on trigger and with a "ya" Trigger accelerated and caught up beside of Hank, Loraine saw one of the crossroads,"You go ne way Hank and Ill go another, itll be easier, if we dotn have no luck, we'll meet back here." Jesse pulled Joe off and drug him down to the lake, with Frank's help they picked him up and lsung him in. Jesse laughed and looked to Frank,"We beeter head off, for that no good Loraine finds out and gets on our tails!!"

Loraine climbed off of trigger,"was Joe at home when I came by??" Loraine thought on it, maybe Joe had left to go find out what Hank saw in her, she swallowed,"Hank, Joe's in trouble,I....I know he is."

Lori looked to Little Luke,"Yea, I want you t' get a taste of uncle jesse's finest." Uncle Jesse smiled and took their hands walking them to his pickup. Lori looked to her band,"Can ya'll get it?" they nodded and started cleaning up. Luke looked to Lori and smiled,"You were great, you havent sung Strawbeery Wine fer...." Lori looked to Dixie who was turning orange,"Yea I...uh I know its been awhile." She quickyl marched to her car and easily climbed in sighing and exhaling,"Phewww, that was a close one." ~~~~~~~~~ Everyone was at the Boar's Nest when acouple walked over to Lori as Luke and them walked in, they asked her to sing her ong,"Up on a Hill." She smiled as Luke and Dixie walked over,"Yea Lor, why don;t ya sing it again fer us all." Luke asked Lori looked to Dixie and asked her,"Dix, is it alright with you." Dixie snorted,"I iant he one singing now am I?" Lori shook her head and stood turned towards the couple begining to sing.

Loraine swuinted her eyes as she could make out two black horses and a buggy, with no driver. "Hank, thats yer Uncle's cart, and his horses!! no ones driving it though." Loraine looked to Trigger and climbed on him taking off after the runaway cart. Jesse saw the pond upahead and looked to Frank,"There it is Brother!!"

Loraine blushed a little,"So Ive been told I look like it, but I sure don't act like it at times." Loraine jumped up at the sound of roaring hooves and wheels of a cart,"Hank, honey someone's coming I think."

Loraine gigled a little,"Ohh I wouldn't say im such a fine lady, thatd be stretching it a little far....." Jesse took off with Frank following behind, they saw Joe's horses and his buggy run past them on a nearby dirt road, speeding off.

Jesse smirked throwing Joe over his shoulder carryin him out to their horses, he looked to Joes horses and untied them smacking them on the rear end,letting them takin off in the other direction. Jesse slung Joe on the back of his horse climbing on. they took off towards the near by pond or lake. Loraine smiled and told Hank,"You sure do know how t' charm a lady darlin, more of a gentleman than ive ever seen."

Jesse walked around Frank grabbing the ropes from a nearby chair, He tied them around Joe's hands and bounded his feet together as well, putting a gag around his mouth as well. "Were we gonna take him to Frank?" Loraine smiled as he kissed her again this time she wqasn't pulling away from him.
