It doesn't get much better than this.

Summary: Bo is six years old and life just doesn't get much better than that. A collection of stories from the childhood of Bo and Luke featuring the sentence, It doesn't get much better than this.

Disclaimer: I don't own either The Dukes of Hazzard or Calvin and Hobbes, if I where enough of a genius to invent either of these things, I wouldn't be writing stories which use other people's characters and ideas, now would I? And just so you know, no I'm not making any money out of this, and I don't intend to start doing it either.

Author's note: these are stories from the childhood of Bo and Luke which are loosely based on the wonderful Calvin and Hobbes cartoons by Bill Watterson from the Calvin and Hobbes album 'It doesn't get much better than this'. Starring Bo as the six year old Calvin, and Luke taking on the parts of either Hobbes the tiger or one of Calvin's parents.

My first language is actually not English so be kind to any mistakes I might have made. Don't hesitate to correct them, I live to learn.

Garry the Goat

Six year old Bo was lying in bed, Uncle Jesse had already tucked him in, but he specifically asked for Luke, who got to stay up a little longer because he was older.

"Alright kiddo, I'm here." Luke sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Will you read me a bedtime story Luke? Please?" Bo begged.

Luke sighed, he had been in the middle of an interesting book himself, but he gave in.

"Alright, which one will it be?" Luke asked as he strolled over to the shelf that held Bo's books, he shot one look at it and quickly spun around to face Bo.

"Anything but..."

"Garry the Goat and the adventure in the forest!" Bo exclaimed.

Luke groaned, that was exactly the book Bo wasn't supposed to pick.

"Wouldn't you rather read the story of the little polar bear? Or..." Luke was cut of.

"No I want Garry the Goat!"

Luke sighed. "Bo I've read that story to ya every night you asked me to read to ya for the past weeks, and uncle Jesse read it to ya several times too, if'n I'm not mistaken he read it to ya this afternoon after lunch." Luke tried to reason.

"Garry the Goat Luke, read me Garry the Goat!" Little Bo insisted.

Luke didn't give up easily though. "But you already know how it ends, heck even I can dream that story."

"Luke! Garry the Goat!"

Luke shook his head and groaned. "Fine."

As he pulled the book of the shelf and settled himself next to Bo, a mischievous smile crept onto his face. And Luke started to read...

"The end. Goodnight Bo, sleep tight." Luke kissed Bo on the top of his head and turned of the light.

When he left the room Bo stared wide eyed into the darkness, softly he whispered to himself: "Boy, that story was a lot different then I remembered it..." There was a short silence. "...I hope the forest critters find Garry's head." Bo whimpered and crawled a little deeper under the covers.

The next evening.

Luke sat on the porch enjoying the last rays of sunlight of a beautiful summer day.

The door squeaked as it opened and uncle Jesse joined his oldest nephew on the porch. "Luke, Bo didn't ask for ya tonight, and he hasn't asked for Garry the Goat all day either, you know why?"

Luke suppressed smile and shrugged. "Maybe he finally got enough of that story." It wasn't entirely a lie, after the version Luke had made up the night before, Bo was sure to have enough of it for a while.

Uncle Jesse shrugged too. "Well I suppose Garry the Goat was just a phase, I'm sure happy it's over though." Uncle Jesse chuckled and went back inside.

Luke chuckled too and stretched out on the porch swing. "It doesn't get much better than this."
