James Duke

Bo was glad Luke was fine. Despite being shipped out in a couple of days, Luke's letter helped him feel better.

The next day, Bo woke up later then usual. After changing jeans and putting on a clean shirt and his boots, Bo headed out to start on his chores. Getting outside, he was surprised to find everything was done. Shrugging a little, he went back inside.

Looking at the clock on the stand between his and Luke's bed, Bo saw it was almost 9 pm. He'd already skipped dinner, his appitite being lost after he got the letter. Taking off his boots and shirt, he settled for sleeping in his jeans. He wouldn't be leaving for a couple of days, but Bo was dreading the day he did leave. Because of that, he had some trouble falling asleep. Eventually though, Bo lost the fight with sleep.

Bo knew he was in for a lot of hard work. He'd been drafted into the Air Force, which was one thing he didn't know anything about. He did know however, that he'd be flying a plane, and only hoped it wouldn't be to hard to learn.

In Hazzard.... Bo sighed as he started to pack his stuff up. He wasn't packing up everything, just a few change of clothes, some socks and a couple of pictures. Once everything was packed up in the duffel bag, Bo sat on his bed, sighing miserably.

This is RR is for me and Dukesrule2000 only. It was a bright sunny day in the small town of Hazzard, Georgia. Bo Duke and his uncle, Jesse Duke, were outside hard at work on planting crops in the fields. Hearing the familiar sound of a motorcycle coming up the drive, Bo looked up, seeing the little old mail lady, Miss Emma Tisdale, speeding down the drive. Putting the bag of seeds down, Bo jogged over to the mailbox to fetch the mail. He was looking forward to seeing if a letter from his older cousin, Luke, was there. Luke was overseas in Nam, having been drafted the year before. After taking the mail out and looking through it, Bo stopped when he saw a letter addressed to him. Seeing it was from the government, he frowned. Opening the envelope and read the letter inside. His eyes grew wide as he read, his good mood suddenly turning bad. Wondering what was taking Bo so long, Jesse went to find him. Spotting him by the mailbox, Jesse walked over. "Bo, is everything alright?" Jesse asked. Bo remained silent for a moment, then turned to face his uncle. Seing the scared look on his nephew's face, Jesse knew something was wrong and that it must have something to do with the letter Bo was holding. "Uncle Jesse...I..." Bo trailed off, unable to think of how to tell his uncle. Biting his lip, he handed Jesse the letter instead. Taking it, Jesse read it, frowning by the time he was done. Looking at his youngest charge, Jesse sighed sadly. "It'll be alright Bo..." He wanted to believe that as much as he wanted Bo to believe it, but at the moment, Jesse was sure he had lost both of his nephews, even though Bo hadn't left yet, and Luke was still alive, as far as he knew anyway.

Don't spit spitballs at me, I don't like it

*jumps and looks at Emy* Emy, that was gross

Seeing she was embarrassed, Nick chuckled and shook his head.

"That I did." Nick nodded. He then looked to Cooter and Lori and smiled at them.

Nick smiled and nodded. "He's grown up to be a fine young man. Even though he's not my real son, I'm still proud to call him my son. Your other nephew seems like a fine young man as well. Bo told us that Luke saved his life."

"Nick Stevenson. And this is my wife, Karen." Nick said, shaking Jesse's hand.

Nick smiled and nodded. "Sure."

"I see." Nick said, shaking his hand. "We'll let Bo decide what he's going to do when the time comes."

"Are you his real family then?" Nick asked, watching the two carefully.

"I see." Nick said, nodding. I guess that would explain why he had been sleeping on our porch." (sounds right to me lol)

James looked over at Bo, listening to the conversation.

"Thank us for what?" Nick asked, not knowing why she was thanking them.

Luke looked at them and stood up as well. He took a deep breath and started to walk towards them.

James glanced at him, then flipped through the book before sitting it down.

"Eh get over it. Its not like you gotta turn in a paper or anything. We just gotta read to save the world is all." James said, grabbing a book to read.

James nodded, knowing the reading part would be torture to Bo, since that was one thing he hated to do. James himself though, liked to read when he had the chance, so it wouldn't be a problem for him.

"Yes sir. We promised we'd call him once we got here." James replied, following Lee.

James snickered, knowing he'd be way ahead of Bo in their training. "Sorry bro, better luck next time."

James couldn't help but laugh at his brother. Even though they were identical, they were as different as a flea and a dog.
