BoJamesDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 (For me, B.L Davenport and/or DaisyMaeDuke to do)"Why is it that whenever he looked at me with those big blue baby eyes of his and gives me that stupid kicked puppy dog look, all my resolve melts away and I find myself going along with whatever he wants...""Hey you, I heard that. And it's because I have more charm than you..."*snorts* "More charm...you have about as much charm as a rattlesnake does...""Well I would say I've had more time to perfect my technique than you, but then I remember your the elder one of us...""Bo, if you don't shut yer trap i'm gonna shut it for ya..."*sing song voice* "Love to see you try when your all tied up...""Look, just get over here somehow an' see if you can reach my pocket knife...""Alright..." *pause* "An' while y'all are there laughin' at our banter an' wonderin' what the heck is goin' on, why don't ya take a look an' see how we got into this prediciment in the first place...""You mean how you got us into this prediciment in the first place...""Luke, do you want me to untie you or not..." Friends, we'll just leave them there to argue it out, and i'll tell you what's been happenin' to those Good ol' Duke boys in Hazzard County this time... ---------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 It had started off as a normal day for the Dukes, so far as normal goes in Hazzard. The boys had woke up, done chores and ate breakfast as usual, and then, having no other must-dos for the day decided that it was the perfect day to go fishing...Luke baited the hook skillfully, with precision. He had stuck his finger so many times before that he had learned to put the struggling worm on quickly, having casted his line before Bo had even managed to get the worm halfway on his hook. Luke couldn't help smiling. When they were younger, he and Bo would have contests to see who could be baited and have their hook cast into the water the quickest. Luke always won, not only because he was more nimble with his fingers, but because Bo was too tender-hearted, dreading to put the worm on the hook and watch it struggle. That and the fact that he usually stuck his finger trying to be quicker than his cousin had been his downfalls...and from the looks of things, he hadn't gotten any better as the years passed."Bo, I'm gonna be eatin my catfish by the time you get that worm on there..."

BoJamesDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Bo stopped what he was doing and case a scowl over at his older cousin. This was just one of the parts he hated about fishing, having to bait the hook. Not only because he felt sorry for the blasted wriggling things that not only got to be speared on a hook but also drowned then gobbled by a fish, but he also managed to spear himself a couple of times too.The only thing really he enjoyed about fishing was that it gave him the chance to be with Luke otherwise he wouldn't bother with it at all. He didn't actually like to bash the poor fish round the head to kill it or particularly like dragging the animal from its watery home...whatever did it do to deserve that anyway?As he scowled at Luke, he said rather grumpily."Look, you want it done quickly and properly then do it yerself. I'll take my time thank ya." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Luke smirked a little. He was debating about asking Bo if he wanted his "Big Bwover" to do it for him as he would so often ask when he was knee-high to a grasshopper, but changed his mind when he felt a tug on the line. Quickly he let out more line knowing if he jerked right away he most likely would come up with an empty hook."They's really bitin' t'day...must be goin' t' rain..." he whispered.A thought suddenly occurred to him. "You fixed those shingles on the roof...right?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Bo threw his rod down in frustration, partly at being speared again for the 5th time, and glared at Luke again."Yes of course I fixed the dang shingles. I dang near fell off the roof fixin' them, but I guess you don't remember that cause you were too busy laughin' at the fact I fell off in the first place!"

DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Luke sighed. "Bo, for the thousandth time, I wasn't laughin' at you... I was laughin' over somethin' Daisy had told me. If you recall, I was the one who come runnin' t' see if ya broke yer neck or if only yer pride was hurt...but seems you don't remember that."

BoJamesDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 "You only came runnin' once I didn't get back up again straight away an' you saw Uncle Jesse headin' over."Bo said, looking away and out over the lake, jaw set and now completly ignoring his pole.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 "Bo that ain't so....you act like..." he swallowed forgetting all about his fish. "You act like I didn't even care," he added trying to hide the hurt in his voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Bo sighed, looking down at the floor as he said."Yeah well...sometimes its hard not to think in some situations you'd rather be shot of me than have me gettin' you into trouble all the time."

DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Luke turned to face him in disbelief. "How could you think that?!" To say he was started by the soft reply was an understatement. He was downright shocked. "Answer me!" He demanded when Bo said nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Bo's bottom lip quivered a little, signifying that this was not something that had just only recently been playing on his mind...it had obviously been lingering there for a while."S'just....something someone pointed out to me the other day..."

DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 "Who?!" demanded Luke his blue eyes cold as ice, dropping his pole as his fists clenched unconsciously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Bo shrugged"Teresa Paylin...who you's been datin' for a few months...tol' me maybe I should keep myself outta trouble to stop you grumblin' about how much trouble I get ya into every date ya go on..."

DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Luke growled under his breath. Had it been a man he would be walking around with several teeth missing by this time tomorrow. "Bo, that ain't true...you know that ain't true brother...don't you?" he asked lifting Bo's chin so that he faced him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Bo swallows before moving his head out of Luke's grip."I used to think it weren't true...till I overheard ya...several times..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Luke frowned. "Bo...I didn't mean it like that..." he said softly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Bo sighed and looked down."Sure sounded like ya meant it Luke..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 "Bo you know I don't mean half the things I say. It's true I was complainin' about it, but...I was mad...mad 'cuz of that ticket I had t' pay for...people say things they shouldn't when they're mad Bo...I'm sorry."

BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Bo nodded a little...but he knew that for Luke to say those things, there had to be some degree of truth behind them....those arn't feelings that would just come out of the blue because Luke was angry...

DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 "Bo...you gotta believe me..." he began getting really worried. Bo wasn't talking much and when Bo was quiet, it was a sure sign that there was a fly in the slaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Bo saw Luke's pole wobble again and pointed out quietly."Yer fish is gettin' away." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 He frowned and lifted up the pole cutting off the line with his knife, letting the fish go. "You're a lot more important to me than that fish, Bo." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Bo sighed and continued to look at the floor, not knowing what to say or really what to believe anymore. He had always thought himself a bother if he was perfectly honest with himself and many times when he was younger he had been genuinly surprised that Luke had put up with him...he guessed he was only just now finding out exactly how much of a bother he was to his older cousin..
