Luke put his hands on his hips and glared a little after Cooter as he edged the wrecker forwards, shaking his head as he returned to Bo and forced his gaze onto him again, intending to get this stamped out before it started properly.

Cooter slowly stopped the wrecker at the front of Rebecca's car and climbed out. Tipping his hat and smiling to her he checked out the damages by running his hand over the dent and the scratched paint. He whsitled once more and walked to the back of his truck having had backed up to the front of her car, he hooked the tow chain in under her front bumper and latched the chain to it. He smiled to her.

"I'd be much obliged to loan you a ride into town ma'am.."

Rebecca cut her gaze from Bo's eyes to Cooter's.

"Uhhh sure...that'll be great..thanks.."

Cooter nodded and smiled at her opening the passenger side door for her. She nodded and smiled at Cooter still holding a love-struck gaze on Bo.

Bo however couldn't look back at Rebecca as Luke was giving him a lecture that he wasn't really listening to.

Rebecca sighed heavily as she turned her attention forward looking out the front windsheild. Cooter thought it best he not speak his peace to her, whereas it could case him his job if he said the wrong thing.

Bo sighed as Luke fianlly stepped away, seeing he was getting no where with the young blonde and slid into the General Lee again, following Cooter.

Half way to town, Luke decided to try to talk some sense into Bo again before they reached the garage. "Bo, you have heard about the futures of the men who have dated or even tried to date Rebecca. Now, Cousin, I love ya and don't want to see nothing bad happen to ya. More so, as the man riding next to you, you know me, the one who's got your back and who's back you have, remember me over here who's likely to be in just as much trouble just because I'm setting in this seat. Bo you got to walk on this one."

Bo shook his head a little, listening to what Luke was saying but not being able to just agree with it.

"Luke I know what's happened with those other guys...but this is different...Judge Druton knows us...he's a friend of the family...if I went and asked him before I ask Rebecca maybe he'll respect me more and allow it...I can't walk away from it Luke, I can't."

Luke heard what Bo was saying, with any other girl or any other father he may have a point. Luke had to admit to himself that Bo may even have a point with Judge Druton, but Luke had seen and heard too much over the years. Judge Druton had always been very hard on young men who wished to date younger girls when their parents disapproved. He had been even harder on the young men you tried to date his own daughter once she started attracking them like flies to honey. Luke sighed loudly, "Bo before you head out to talk to Judge Druton you may want to talk to Jesse first." He knew Bo wasn't going to listen about not seeing Rebecca, but if Jesse could talk to the Judge at least maybe it would prevent them from going to prison over this.

Bo nodded a little.

"Was plannin' on it anyhow, you don't gotta tell me..."

Cooter pulled up at the garage and opened miss Rebecca's door for her. As se stepped out slowly she glanced over at the courthouse and sighed low and heavy.

Cooter watched her as he unhooked her car from the back of his tow truck, thinking Bo was in hot water with this young philly. Cooter got to work on fixing the dent and repainting the scratches.

Rebecca, on the other hand, thought more of Bo and what exactly she was going to tell him to let him down easy, because of her father..

Bo slid out the car as they pulled to a stop, smiling to Rebecca as he sat on the hood of the General.

Rebecca couldn't help it and gave a gently smile to him in return. She blushed a rosey red and kicked at the ground.

Cooter saw the exchanges the two young love birds was giving to one another, he sighed and shook his head looking heavenward.

Bo bit his lip a little as he watched her blush, too used to that reaction to be much bothered by it...though he had to admit he was surprised he wasn't blushing. He knew he wasn't because his cheeks seems to heat up when he did. There weren't many girls that could make him feel like he did around Rebecca...there was something different about her and yet he didn't know what it was...maybe it was the thrill of chasing something that he knew in reality he shouldn't really be chasing after..

As Cooter finished with the last scratch he looked at miss Rebecca and smiled.

"If I may have your attention for amoment ma'am....your car is ready..."

Rebecca broke her glance from Bo and nodded to Cooter.

"Thanks.."

She softly spoke as she climbed in the driver's side, still watching Bo.

"Bye Bo...."

She smiled, not even paying attention to Luke, not really caring.

Bo just waved a little in response, for once not having the words to say anything back....none that he thought were good enough to say goodbye with anyway.

Luke shook his head and sighed as his and Cooters eyes met. Luke said only loud enough for Cooter to hear, "You are seeing this right?" then Luke added, "I don't thonk I'm gonna be able to prevent what ever trouble he's about to get in and I'm less sure I can get him and likely ME out of it."

Bo didn't hear Luke's words, his gaze following Rebecca as she drove out of Cooter's garage and drove away. He sighed softly and shook his head a little, not removing his gaze from the last spot he had seen her disappear from.

Luke walked into the kitchen of the Duke farm and saw his Uncle standing there cooking supper. Bo hadn't came in yet so Luke said, “Uncle Jesse you know me and Bo don't tell on each other and I'm not gonna start now. But, I do think you need to have a talk with him. Nothing has happened yet, but I see signs of serious trouble coming his way and if it does, I'll likely end up taking the ride myself.†Luke cut his conversation short hearing Bo coming their way.

Bo whistled as he came in from the barn, a love struck look on his face and nothing but thoughts of Rebecca running through his head. He even didn't try and chase the chickens as he walked into the farmhouse.

(!!!! HAd a great idea!!! Wanna see if Roger will join in as Uncle Jesse?!)

Jesse *welcoming Bo while pretending that Luke had not just said anything*

"Bo, after ya git washed up, I'd appreciated it if ya'd set up some plates and silverware"

Bo however didn't seem to be aware that anyone had even spoken, He had a faraway look in his eyes and was humming to himself.

Jesse *glaring at Bo while setting a pan of mashed potatoes on a hotplate in the middle of the table* Bo!!

Bo jumped a mile when he heard the yell of his name, looking over and seeing a very angry Jesse glaring his way. Swallowing he bit his lip before aswering

"Sorry...Uh...Hi and...did you say something?"

*too hungry to be in the mood for wit or discipline, Jesse simply repeated his command*

*sighs and nods with a 'Yes Sir', going to wash up then coming back and setting the table as ordered*
