    Another good one... not exactly country, but not bad, either!

    Artist: Green Day

    Album: Nimrod

    Title: Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)

    Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

    Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

    So make the best of this test, and don't ask why

    It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

    It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right

    I hope you had the time of your life

    So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind

    Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time

    Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial

    For what it´s worth, it was worth all the while

    It´s something unpredictable, but in the end is right

    I hope you had the time of your life.

    It´s something unpredictable, but in the end is right

    I hope you had the time of your life.

    It´s something unpredictable, but in the end is right

    The one referenced in your sig is one of them!

    THE DANCE by Garth Brooks

    Looking back on the memory of

    The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone

    For a moment all the world was right

    How could i have known that you'd ever say goodbye

    (chorus)

    And now i'm glad i didn't know

    The way it all would end the way it all would go

    Our lives are better left to chance i could have missed the pain

    But i'd of had to miss the dance

    Holding you i held everything

    For a moment wasn't i a king

    But if i'd only known how the king would fall

    Hey who's to say you know i might have changed it all

    *chorus*

    Yes my life is better left to chance

    I could have missed the pain but i'd of had to miss the dance.

    "Without me finding out what?" he asked, his cold stare fixed on Bo.

    "Daddy...I..." Beth tried to speak, but trailed off.

    "I can't even trust you to come home right after work. You lied to me about staying to lock up."

    "I didn't lie, Daddy. I was going to lock up, but..."

    "But you didn't. And you didn't come home. You disobeyed me."

    "Daddy, I can't... I'm not letting you take my baby away. Bo and me were wrong. But our baby... It's ours, and you can't take it away from us!"

    "Beth, get in the car. We'll talk about this later."

    "Daddy..." Beth hesitated. Bo was squeezing her hand. She turned to look at Uncle Jesse. The old man's eyes were somewhat sad as he nodded to her. She trusted Jesse, so she let his gestures direct her. "OK," she said. "But only if you promise me something."

    "I'm not going to promise you anything, now get in the car."

    "Then I won't go!" Beth said, defiantly wrapping her arms around Bo. "I love Bo, and our baby is not yours to punish us with. Bo and me can take care of our baby. We don't need you to give it away."

    "Elizabeth Anne Smith, if you don't get in that car, I will call the sheriff and have you taken in as a runaway."

    "Honey," Jesse said kindly, "Go with your daddy. He ain't gonna hurt you."

    Beth nodded, then pressed a kiss to Bo's lips before letting go of him. "I love you," she said, so noone but Bo could hear.

    "I love you, too, Sunshine. Don't worry. We'll think of something."

    Beth was in tears as she followed her daddy out to his car. He told her that they'd get hers in the morning, since she'd switched with Daisy in case her father drove by the Boar's Nest. She figured it wouldn't do her any good anyway, since she'd probably have to give him her keys.

    ~**~**~**~**~

    Bo lay in his bed wide awake, two hours later. He kept wishing that he was with Beth, or that Beth was safe in the Duke house.

    Luke had been asleep a while, but he was awakened by the sounds of Bo tossing and turning. He groggily asked, "You OK, Bo?"

    Bo shook his head. "Not really. I'm worried. I don't trust Beth's daddy. He'd give our baby up without thinking about it. That baby's his grandchild, Luke. And he don't want it because it's got a 'hayseed' for a daddy. Hot da--. It ain't like I'm a bad person. I'm honest. And I love Beth and the baby. Ain't that enough?"

    "Bo... It should be enough. But in this world, it's hard to ever do enough to make other people happy. Just listen to your gut, Bo."

    "Thanks, Luke. 'Night."

    "'Night," Luke replied.

    Luke went back to sleep pretty quickly, but Bo lay awake for a long time.

    Back at the garage, Jake, Bo, Jr., Cooter, and LB were wondering where everyone else was. Bo, Jr., ever the impatient one, being his daddy's son, looked at his watch seventeen times in two minutes. "Where are they?" he asked.

    Jake smiled. "They'll be here. Just look on the bright side. At least Uncle Bo and Luke ain't runnin' moonshine. Then there might not be a party."

    "I know...but..."

    Bo, Jr. was interrupted by LB's laugh. "What?" he said, looking at the older man.

    "The only reason Bo and Luke ain't runnin' shine, is cause Bo already delivered it here," LB said with a grin.

    "Hot da--!" Bo, Jr. exclaimed his father's favorite phrase. "If my mama knew that my daddy ran moonshine in her car..."

    "Which is why we ain't gonna say nothin' to her," interrupted Bo's voice, as he walked in the door.

    Bo, Jr. jumped, but immediately calmed down when he realized it was his dad. "Daddy, you scared the s--- outta me."

    "Let your mama hear ya talk like that and she'll BEAT the s--- out of you," Bo replied.

    Luke laughed at the exchange between father and son. "Well, the thing about it is, the women ain't here. So let's just have a good time. Did Enos ever come along?"

    "He ain't here yet," Jake said, as BJ walked in. Luke introduced his son to BJ, and everyone got acquainted. Then Cooter came in. After they all talked awhile, they started getting out beers, and milk for Enos. The shine was still hidden away under a table in a box.

    As the men talked, Jeb, Coy, and Vance showed up in Vance's Mustang. They all stood around a little while. BJ smiled at Luke. "Luke, I'd forgotten alot of things about Hazzard, but one thing I didn't forget was that cousin of yours. She's goin' to let me escort her to the wedding."

    Bo groaned softly as he looked up to see Enos, who had walked in just quick enough to hear what BJ had said.

    Meanwhile, back at the farm...

    "Well, ah, tell him I was just givin' her a present...Or somethin'. Hot da--, Luke, you're better at comin' up with stuff than I am."

    Luke shook his head. "Maybe Cooter won't catch it if I shuck and jive him. Cooter is kinda... well..."

    "He ain't dumb, Luke," Jesse said. "Crazy, yes, but not dumb. I don't think shuckin' and jivin' him'll be as easy as you'd think it was."

    Luke walked away from Jesse over to Cooter, hoping that his friend would have something else on his mind.

    Bo now turned to Jesse. "Uncle Jesse, you said her daddy wouldn't do nothin' to hurt her... But I don't know. I know that he don't like me. And since that baby's a part of me, I don't reckon he'll want the baby around any more than he wants me around."

    "Well, we'll just have to do somethin' about that. First off all, gettin' you two married is gonna be the most important thing, so that girl's daddy can't do nothin' about it. So the sooner you can talk to her mama, the better."

    "Uncle Jesse," Bo said. "Beth's daddy lied to me. Just flat lied. When I asked him if I could marry her, he said he didn't care. He said he wouldn't keep me from doin' my duty to her. I know I wasn't right in getting Beth pregnant. But I'll be d---ed if I let him take her and that baby away from me."

    ~**~**~**~**~

    Meanwhile, Cooter had cornered Luke. "Hey, buddy-ro," Cooter

    said. "What's goin' on with Bo and Beth?"

    "Nothin'," Luke lied. "They had themselves one h--- of a fight, and Bo bought her a little present to make it up to her."

    Cooter stared Luke down. "Alright now, Luke. I might be crazy, but I AIN'T dumb. A diamond on a girl's left ring finger ain't no 'I'm sorry' present. Now give it to me straight."

    Luke shook his head. "Da--it, Cooter. You're really on your game today." Luke couldn't help smiling, figuring that the only reason Cooter knew so much about this stuff was the fact that his girlfriend, Kathy, had been hinting strongly that she wanted a ring. But Luke knew Cooter, and he knew he wasn't anywhere near ready to settle down. "Alright, Cooter," Luke said. "Maybe I AM fudgin' just a little bit. But you'll have to get this one straight from Bo. It ain't my business."

    Cooter grinned, "I'll talk to Bo later. But Luke... ain't them two a little young to..."

    Luke interrupted, "Like I said, Cooter, this is Bo's business, not mine. Whatever you get'll have to come from him."

    Daisy smiled as she climbed out of the car to let BJ have the driver's seat. "Take care of him, now," she said. "Bo and Luke love him. He's family."

    BJ smiled, then called for Bear, who joined him in the General's front seat. He leaned out the window to kiss Daisy on the lips, then pulled out of the driveway.

    She walked back into the house, where Beth and Dixie were trying to get all the wedding decorations together so that they could decorate the church while the guys were gone.

    ~**~**~**~**~

    Bo arrived back at the Boar's Nest a while later with the load he'd picked up. Thankfully, he hadn't been stopped, and Beth's Camaro had not been impounded. He took the boxes of shine into the garage. "I couldn't take all of it. I hope that there'll be a few more bachelor parties before it's all said and done."

    "I got a good feelin' there will be," Luke said with a grin. "You know Jeb and Debbie..."

    "Yeah, I know," Bo said, grinning from ear to ear.

    "And... Oh, he--!" Luke exclaimed.

    "Oh, h--- what?"

    "Speakin' of cousins and marriage and... Oh, Lord."

    "Oh Lord what?"

    "Do you realized we've got BJ McKay, Enos Strate, and Daisy all together at once? That's like throwin' two lovesick hound dogs at the pertiest she-pup around."

    "Well, don't that just throw your hat in the creek," Bo said.

    "Oh, man. Poor Enos!"

    "Yep. Poor Enos is right. We just better go make sure Enos don't do anything stupid. We gotta go back to the house anyway before we get this thing together. We'll call BJ on the CB and tell him we're headed back, so just to wait for us at the farm."

    The boys headed out to Beth's Camaro and hightailed it back to the Duke farm.

    Cue Dixie
