Twin A 07- Another story. Me an' my sister came up with this idea. Don't ask where it came from, 'cause rightly, I can't recall. shrugs
Disclaimer- I don't own the Dukes of Hazzard. If I did, I'd have Bo tied up in my basement.
Bo's 14, Daisy's 16, Luke's 18
01010101
It was a warm spring day in Hazzard County. It was May 16th, and the start of the exams at Hazzard Middle School. Bo sighed as he looked at the math problems on the piece of paper in front of him. He tapped his pencil annoyingly on the desk as he grabbed a fist full of his honey blonde hair. He looked at the students around him. He pouted as he saw that his friends were on opposite sides of the class room. He looked to his left and saw the class nerd. He had already turned his paper up-side down and had his hands folded neatly on the desk in front of him. Bo snorted at the boy. He looked at the clock and saw that he had only a few minutes left for the school day to be over. Sighing, he wrote down any number that came to his mind. As the bell rang, Bo grabbed his bag and walked over to his friends.
"Hey, that was the gayest thing I've ever takin'. What was they thinkin' givin' us that test?" Rob asked. Mat and Bo both shrugged.
"Hey, my folks are gonna be gone this weekend. I'm a throwin' a party. Ya'll comin'?" Mat asked.
"Count me in." Rob said with a big smile. "I'll see if I can git some Shine off my old man." Mat turned to Bo.
"Can't. I got's ta help on the farm. Ya know that. It's on'y me, my two cousins, an' my Uncle Jesse. I can't go partyin' on the weekends. I's gots a farm to help run." Bo said.
"Come on Bo. Yer Uncle's got two other people that could help him with that farm. Besides, yer cousin doesn't even help out. Both of 'em." Rob said.
"That ain't true. Luke an' Daisy help out just like I do." Bo said with a frown.
"Yer on'y lyin' to yerself. Yer cousin Daisy on'y does house chores. That ain't exactly helpin' an' yer cousin Luke mostly works on that hunk o' chunk ya'll got behind that barn." Mat said.
"Luke on'y works on that car when his chores are done. 'Sides, he lets me work on it with him. He says that when it's all done, we's gonna split it 50/50. An' house chores aren't exactly easy. 'Specially if ya live with a house full o' the opposite sex." Bo said. Mat and Rob both waved him off.
"Yer lost." Mat said. A white old pick up pulled up. Luke and Daisy sat in the truck.
"Hey Bo. How's school Sugar?" Daisy asked, as she got out. She hugged her younger cousin in a tight hug. Bo hugged his cousin back. He could see his friend's stare at Daisy from the corner of his eyes. He looked over at Luke. Luke ruffled up his hair a bit.
"Ya ain't answer yer cousin yet." He said with a smirk.
"Why would I have to answer that? It's the same thang as ever. On'y new thing is that we's took a math exam." Bo said with a shrug. He said bye to his friends and crawled into the truck so that he sat between his cousins.
"How'd the exam go?" Daisy asked.
"If I remember it from when I was in 8th grade, it was more 'an likely dumb an' had no point." Luke said as he pulled the truck out onto the road.
"Exactly." Bo said. Daisy hit Luke on the side of the head.
"Luke. Don't go encouragin' him." She said with a smile. Luke smiled as he stared at the road.
"Daisy Duke, don't ya hit the driver. I could just very well let ya walk the rest of the way home." He said, pointing a finger at her with mock seriousness
"Yes sir." She said with a laugh. The three cousins shared a hearty laugh. Ten minutes later found them at the farm. The three set to work doing their chores. By 4 o'clock, Bo and Luke had their shirts off and were leaning in the hood of an old '69 Dodge Charger. The old vehicle had rust every where. Uncle Jesse had asked what the purpose in buying the wreck was. Surely a thing like that couldn't go very far. Luke had thought other wise.
"This here car is gonna be the most known in all of Hazzard an' the surroundin' counties." He had said when he bought it.
"She looks ready to just fall ta pieces." Jesse said.
"Uncle Jesse, can't ya tell this here cars gonna be a he. It's radiatin' strength an' speed." Bo said, after taking a quick look around it. Uncle Jesse had shook his head at his two charges. Ever since they got that car, the two boys could be found fixing it up after chores were done. Sometimes Luke's friend Cooter would stop by and give a hand. Jesse liked Cooter for he treated Bo as if he was the same age instead of the near 5 year difference. Majority of Luke's friends were like that. Seeing how as Bo nearly went where ever his cousin did, Luke made sure his friends accepted Bo.
Uncle Jesse sat on the porch as he watched his two nephews work on the car. Even if they were only able to get 1 minute to work on the car, they took it. At around 5:30, Daisy called that dinner was ready. Uncle Jesse relayed the message to the boys. They hollered back that they would be done in a second. About 15 minutes later, Uncle Jesse demanded that they get their butts in at that second or he'd tan them. The boys quickly cleaned up the tools, slammed the hood and ran back to the house. After washing up, the boys sat down opposite from each other and folded their hands in front of them. After Jesse had said grace, the family started to eat.
"Now boys. I's got to go ta the Parkinson's place tonight. Their mare is expecting an' they don't know a thing 'bout midwivin'. Daisy's goin' ta sleep o'er her friend's house so they's can start a project. I want you boys ta make sure the evenin' chores are done. An' I want ya both in bed before two in the mornin'. That roofs a bit leaky an' I want ta fix it 'fore the rain comes tamarrow at noon. Am I under stood?" Uncle Jesse asked, looking at Luke than at Bo.
"Yes sir." They said.
"An' Bo, yer ta listen to yer cousin. If he tells ya ta do somethin' I want it done right when he says it. Under stood?" He asked, looking at Bo.
"Yes sir." Bo said, as he finished his food. The rest of the meal was used to discuss what the three had done in school today.
"Hey Uncle Jesse, it didn't come yet, right?" Bo asked his Uncle hopefully. Uncle Jesse looked at Bo, not having to ask what "it" was. He could feel the hopeful and anxious looks of Luke and Daisy.
"No we's got lucky. Peterson wasn't though. Adam's got the letter." Uncle Jesse said in a grave voice. There was a small sigh of relief then of sad glances at their food. There was a war in Vietnam, and the Government was drafting young men from all around the nation. It was a scary to be around the age of 18 at this point in time, for any moment, you could get the letter saying that you were chosen to serve your country. The Dukes feared that Luke would get that letter one day.
"Well, that explains why Adam wasn't in school today." Luke said quietly. He and Adam had been good friends since grade school.
At 6 o'clock, dinner was down and the dishes washed and put away. Uncle Jesse and Daisy left for their respected destinations. Bo and Luke sat down in the living room playing a game of checkers, both saying nothing more about Adam and the letter.
"Hey Luke, can I ask ya somethin'?" Bo asked as he took four of Luke's pieces.
"It seems ya a'ready did Cousin." Luke said with a smile. Bo frowned at Luke.
"That ain't what I meant." He said, muttering slightly. Luke laughed at his cousin's temper. Bo always had had a short fuse.
"Shoot ya fence pole." Luke said.
"Well for starters, I ain't no Fence pole. An' secondly, Mat's havin' this party at his place an'…" Bo stopped mid sentence when Luke cut him off.
"No." was the quick and short reply.
"Why not?" Bo asked, looking at his cousin.
"'Cause one, there ain't no parents at his place, two, there's gonna be alcohol, an' three, 'cause I said so." Luke said.
"Aww come on Luke. I swear I won't drink much. An' even if I do, it'll on'y be a little bit." Bo pleaded.
"I said no Bo." Luke said with a tone that said end of discussion.
"Please." Bo begged as he looked up at his cousin with his baby blue eyes. Luke looked at his cousin. He had a thoughtful expression on his face.
"I'll let ya go on one condition." He said slowly.
"What?" Bo asked, sitting on the edge of his seat.
"Ya go dressed up as a girl." Luke said. Bo's eyes nearly popped outta his head.
"Yer kiddin', right?" he asked with a small smile, hopin' against hope he had heard differently.
"Nope. Ya wear one o' Daisy's dresses, do yer hair an' put make up on." Luke said, sitting back and crossing his arms. Bo looked at his cousin as if he had the plague.
"I ain't doin' that." He said.
"Then no party." Luke said. Bo started to plead again.
"Please Luke. Anythin' but that." He begged.
"No. Take it or leave it." Luke said, shaking his head. Bo stared at his cousin with pain filled eyes.
"Luuuke." Bo whined.
"Boooo." Luke said in a mocking tone. Bo sighed.
"Can I put all that stuff on an' jus' take it off 'fore I go?" Bo asked. Luke shook his head.
"No Bo. You either go in the dress an' make up or ya don't go at all. Short an' simple." Luke said.
"Simple fer you. You won't be mocked fer the rest o' yer life." Bo said.
"Bo, I was yer age once. They won't mock ya fer the rest o' yer life. The rest o' Middle School maybe, but not yer life. By the time yer in High School, it won't matter none. So, ya goin' ta that party o' yers?" Luke asked. Bo sighed as he looked at his cousin.
30 minutes later, Bo walked out of Daisy's room with Luke right behind him, snickering slightly. Bo looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a pair of panty hoes, a red dress with blue flowers. He had straightened his hair, and used a curler to give him the bouncing curls. He was wearing light pink lipstick with light blue eye liner.
"Luke, are ya sure this make-up goes tagether? It don' look right." Bo whined.
"Do I look like a girl Bo? I on'y did what the girls in school do. I don't know how that stuff goes." Luke said. Bo sighed as he looked at Luke.
"I hate you right now." He said as he walked out to Daisy's car. Luke chuckled slightly as he grabbed a camera.
"Bo." He said. When Bo looked at him, Luke took a picture.
"LUKE!" Bo yelled, clearly angry at his cousin.
"Don't worry, I won't let no one but me an' you see that." Luke promised. Bo slammed the car shut as he closed the door. Luke got in and through a bag at Bo. Bo looked at the bag than looked at Luke. "That's fer ya ta change inta more comfortable clothin' after 10 minutes inta the party. Bo nodded as he smiled at his cousin.
When they got there, Bo walked up to the door with his bag in hand. Sighing, he rang the door bell and waited. Rob opened the door and his eyes nearly popped out.
"Holy….Mary! BO?" he asked. Bo smiled sheepishly. "What the heck happened ta ya?" he asked, opening the door.
"It was the on'y way I could git to the party. After 10 minutes though, I'm changin'." Bo said, showing Rob the bag. Rob nodded. Unfortunately for Bo, he never got time to take the dress off. Not even 2 seconds from when Rob left him, a few people found Bo and decided that he was either squirrelly or he had something going on for a good time. A few boys went into Mat's sister's room and came out dawned in their own get up of dresses.
"Oh my Lord! I just like, totally broke my nail!" Fred said as he held out his right hand.
"Like, did ya see that Mark Bentsen? He's like, so totally hot." Mike said with a giggle. Bo, Rob, and Mat stared at all the boys, who were all clad in dresses by now. Mat then turned to Bo in one of his mother's dresses.
"You started this." He said.
"No Luke did. He made me come in this." Bo said, staring at the drunken boys all around them. By midnight, everyone was starting to leave, with the dresses on. Bo quickly got in the car with Luke with Daisy's dress still on.
"I on'y said ya had ta wear it fer 10 minutes." Luke said.
"They's wouldn't let me take it off." Bo said. Luke saw the slightly frightened look in Bo's eyes.
"Bo? You okay?" he asked. Bo shook his head. Luke frowned as he pulled up to the farm. Bo quickly ran out and got out of everything before Luke had stepped in the door.
"Luke, if ya ever make me do tha' again, I'm a gonna tan yer hide myself." Bo said, glaring at his cousin. Luke laughed.
"Well, by what I saw, ain't no one gonna make fun o' ya. They's jus' might hang 'round ya more." He said with a smirk.
"That ain't funny Luke!" Bo said. Luke tried to stop laughing but he just ended up on the floor holding his sides. "Luke quit. I mean it now!" Bo yelled. When his cousin continued to laugh, Bo grabbed his pillow and walked up to Luke. "Laugh at this Cousin." He said as he walloped Luke with his pillow. Luke quit laughing as he shielded his head from the assault of the pillow.
"Two can play at that game Cousin." He said as he grabbed his pillow. The two were soon running around the house, laughing their heads off as they ducked and swiped at the pillows.

When Uncle Jesse came home the next morning at around 9 o'clock, he was surprised to see that the boys weren't up yet.
"Ding Dang it! I told 'em boys ta be up early." Uncle Jesse said as he got out of his pick up. He stopped half way up the steps when he saw that both the door and screen door where wide open. Not sure what was going on, or what to expect, Jesse cautiously made his way into the house.
Balladeer- I wonder wha' ole Jesse is thinkin' right now. 'Member, he don't know 'em boys had a pillow fight.
Jesse's eyes bulged out of his head at the sight of the farm house. The kitchen chairs were overturned and the table cloth was laying on the floor. Slowly, he made his way into the living. The couch was over turned and the cushions were scattered in the corners of the room. There were feathers all over the floor. Panicking slightly, Jesse made his way to the boys' room. His heart was pounding when he saw that the door was slightly ajar. Opening it the rest of the way, he released his breathe. The boys lay on the ground, feathers covering them. Luke was laying beside the wall with his right arm cushioning his head. His mouth was slightly ajar. Bo was snoring loudly as his head was resting against his cousin's feet. He was breathing on Luke's toes, causing the older boy to wiggle them and snicker in his sleep. Jesse smiled at the sight. He then frowned as he walked over to them.
"Boys wake up right now!" he said in a stern voice. Bo and Luke both woke up with a jump as they scrambled to stand up. Bo wiped some drool off of his chin and looked up at his uncle.
"Mornin' Uncle Jesse." He said between a yawn. Luke covered his mouth with his left hand as his right stretched out some.
"Mornin' in deed. Now, I'm not gonna ask why the house is a mess an' why you's two is covered in feathers. BUT, I now what ya two will be doin' 'fore ya get yer breakfast." He said. The boys nodded their heads and with an 'Yes sir.', both of them started to clean up. Jesse smiled at the two. He walked out into the kitchen. He cleaned up the small mess in there to prepare breakfast. By the time 9:55 rolled around, the house was cleaner than before. Jesse chuckled lightly as he set a big breakfast on the table, knowing that the boys, especially Bo, would be starving.
"Aright boys, breakfast is ready." He called. The boys came walking over laughing about something or another.
"Boy am I starvin'. This looks delicious Uncle Jesse." Bo said as he sat down.
"Jus' try an' leave some fer us." Luke said with a laugh. All three males sat down. Uncle Jesse said grace and they started to eat.
"We's gotta work on that roof after breakfast is done." Uncle Jesse said.
"Yes sir." The boys said.
"Bo, can ya go an' get the mail?" Jesse asked. Bo nodded his head. He stood up and walked outside to fetch the mail.
"I think it's safe ta say that ya boys had a great time las' night." Uncle Jesse said with a smile. Luke smirked as he remembered the look on Bo's face as he stood in the dress with the make-up on.
"Yeah, I guess ya can say that." Luke said. A few minutes later, Bo walked in with the mail.
"'Bout time ya came back. I ain't realize the mail box was moved down the ro-…….Bo wha's wrong?" Uncle Jesse asked. Bo stood in the door with tears in his eyes as his right hand clutched an envelope tightly.
"……….." Bo opened his mouth to speak, but all he was able to do was shake his head. Luke looked up to meet his cousin's gaze. Luke's eyes widened in disbelieve as he slowly stared at the letter in Bo's fist, already knowing what the letter was. Bo slowly walked over to Luke and slowly handed him the letter.
"It came." Bo sobbed.
