When they drove up to the campsite, the dog greeted them as they got out of the truck.
"Hey fella." Luke said as he was petting the dog.
"Hey guys, you ok Bo?" Rosco asked. Bo just nodded his head because he was still in pain. Bo sat down in his chair as Luke got him some pain pills, then joined him by the campfire.
"He doesn't have any tags, you gonna keep him?" Ask Cletus. Luke looked at Bo who just shrugged.
"After everything Bo went through to get him, why not?"
"So what you gonna name him?" Rosco asked.
"Don't look at me. Bo's the one who found him." Bo shrugged his shoulders, than replied.
"How about Bear?" The dog barked his approval.
"I think he likes it Bo." Remarked Rosco. They were all talking about old times when Cooter and Daisy came back from getting some supplies. The trip was gonna be longer since Bo got hurt, they decided to leave the next day. They sat down and Daisy said to Bo, "That Gabriella sure took a liking to ya Bo."
Bo just smiled and said, "yeah." Cooter and Rosco tried not to laugh at Daisy's attempt to set up Bo with her. (They both knew Bo and Luke's secret.)
"Well ya know, long distance relationships don't work. Besides, we got enough work to do around the farm to worry about more than who I should date."
"Well, alittle work never stopped ya before." Remarked Daisy.
"Bo's right Daisy, just drop it." Replied Luke, who right about now was getting alittle annoyed with Daisy. She was always trying to set Bo up with any pretty filly that came into her sights.
"Alright, alright." Daisy held up her hands in surrender. "You win, can't blame a girl for tryin." Rosco couldn't help but laugh, and when he did Cooter joined in. They both knew Luke was possessive of Bo, and usually got jealous when Bo unknowinly flirted with girls.
"What's so darn funny?"
"Oh Daisy, honey. It's nothing." Replied Cooter, who almost fell out of his chair because he was laughing so hard. After several hours of talking and eating dinner, Cooter told Bo. "If ya need to sleep in my truck you're more than welcome ta."
"No, I'll be fine. Thanks."
"Well night ya'all." Replied Cooter. About a hour later they all said their goodnights, and everyone set out to get ready for bed. Luke looked over to Bo who fell asleep in his chair. Not wanting Bo to be sore come morning Luke gently woke him up.
"Hey Bo." Luke gently shook his shoulder.
"Huh?"
"Ya wanta sleep in the tent?" Bo pushed his hair out of his eyes and nodded. He held up his hand in a silent gesture for help. To which Luke obliged. They went into their tent with the dog following.
"Guess this means we keep him, huh?" Asked Luke.
"Guess so." Smiled Bo. When they got situated and Bear settled down, Luke looked over to Bo.
"I'm sorry about your nose. It still hurts?"
"Nah Luke, my knee pain took my mind off my nose pain." Bo laughed alittle.
"Come on Bo. How can ya kid around like that? I feel bad is all."
"Luke, I know you didn't do it on purpose, alright? As far as my knee goes, well that was just bad luck. Besides, we got a dog now."
"I love ya, Bo."
"Love ya too." They gave each other a small kiss, knowing full well that they both had to behave themselves. The next morning they all woke up mid morning. They only had six and a half hours left to drive. If nothing else happened they should make it just in time for whatever Jesse and the people had set up. Luke had found a pay phone and called Jesse to tell him what had happened, and they would be home tonight. Jesse told them they had to be in the town square by 7 pm.
The rest of the drive home was uneventful, although they had to stop several times because Bo got sick; the pain meds that he took for his knee caused him to become sick. They arrived about an hour before the entertainment started. Just in time for everyone to take a shower and change clothes. Everyone had fun, Toby Keith and Anita Blackwood were there and gave a great performance. As the night went on, people were slowly headed for their homes.
"Hey Daisy!" Luke got Daisy's attention, and told her. "Me and Bo are gonna head out. See ya later."
"Alright hon, I'm gonna stay with Enos for awhile longer. Don't wait up for me."
"Oh, we won't." Luke smiled and walked towards Bo, who was waiting by the General.
