Two months passed and Daisy went to meet L.D. at the swamp for a picnic. They ate their lunch then L.D. took something out of his bag.
"Daisy Mae." L.D. got down onto one knee and continued. "Will you marry me?" Daisy's smile got bigger as she saw the ring.
"Yes. Yes, I will." He placed the ring on her finger, then stood up and kissed her on the lips.
"I got so much to plan!"
"Now, Daisy. Can't we have a simple wedding?" Daisy's smile disappeared when he said that. When he saw the disappointment he relented. "If it will make you happy, plan away." The smile returned to her face.
"I got to order the cake and make the dresses." She kissed L.D. on the lips before she ran back to her Jeep.
"Daisy, shouldn't we set a date?"
"Next Saturday?" L.D. smiled.
"If that's what you want, next Saturday it is." He waved as she drove away. "That was easier than I thought." He knew that Daisy co-owned the Boar's Nest so if he married her, he'd get half of her assests if they got divorced. What he didn't know was, when she left him she went straight to Miss LuLu and sold her share of the Boar's Nest back to her. Miss LuLu would manage the business for Rosco and help out as a waitress. After that, Daisy went to the bank and put all the money into Jesse's account; so L.D. couldn't touch it if they got divorced.
After she got done at the bank, Daisy raced home and told everyone the news.
"Now Daisy, you only known him for 2 months. Why are you rushing into this?"
"Because I love him, Jesse."
"You don't know him, girl. How do you know he's not using you for your money?"
"What?" Daisy turned and glared at Bo. "Beauregard! You take that back, right now!" Daisy knew that Bo didn't like his full name used, so she called him that just to get a rise out of him. She was surprised when it didn't work.
"No. I don't think so honey." Bo replied with a slight grin on his face. Before either one of them could lose their temper, Luke stepped in.
"Daisy, could you hear us out? You don't know much about him..." Daisy interupted him. "No, you listen to me! I'm marrying him with or without your blessing!" She turned on her heels and stormed off. Bo looked at Luke and shrugged his shoulders and went upstairs. Luke was surprised that Bo didn't chase after her. So he went upstairs to see what Bo was up to.
"What's up?" He asked Bo as Bo unbuckled his belt.
"Nothing, Luke. I'm sick of chasing after her. She thinks she loves him, I think he's using her. Well, let's just find out who's right shall we?" Bo untucked his shirt, took it off and threw it onto his bed. He stood there with his shirt off and belt and pants undone and was about to walk away from Luke.
"Bo?" Luke took Bo by the arm and held him back. "Come on, don't be like this. It's not like you."
"She's a big girl now, Lukas. Hell, she's the oldest, isn't she?"
"Just because she's the oldest, doesn't make her the wisest."
"Maybe so. But sometimes you got to fall down in order to pick yourself up."
"Bo, you tellin' me you're not going to try to stop her?"
"That's right. No use in trying. I just hope I'm wrong about him." Luke starred at him in disbelief.
"You are, Beauregard." They turned and looked at Daisy. "Just give him a chance, you'll see you're wrong about him." Bo looked at Luke then Daisy.
"I got to wash up and go on patrol. Can I go now?" Bo looked down at Luke's hand that was still holding his arm. Luke nodded and let go of Bo's arm and watched Bo walk out of the room.
"I'll talk to him. We'll give L.D. a chance, you won't get grief from us no more." Daisy gave Luke a hug.
"You'll see, he's a good man." She smiled and turned around and went to her room.
Luke waited in their room for Bo to come out of the bathroom. Bo walked back into their room, put his deputy's shirt on and clipped his gun and badge onto his belt. Because they just got off of probation last week, they both could now carry guns.
"Can I go on patrol with you?" Bo gave him a confused look before he smiled and put on his cowboy hat.
"Sure, why not?" Luke grabbed his jacket and followed Bo to their truck. Because the county's budget was low, Bo and Luke offered to use their truck. They added red and blue flashing lights to the front of the truck in the grill near the headlights, with a sirin as well. Bo started up the truck and pulled out of the yard.
"Breaker one-nine calling Sheriff Rosco. Come back."
"This is Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane comin' back at ya."
"This is Bo Duke, I'm headed in. I got Lukas here with me."
"That's affirmative. But I can only pay for one of ya."
"That's fine Rosco. Luke's just along for the ride."
"Where you at?"
"Just past Sheep's Hollow. I'll be there shortly."
"See ya later. I'm gone."
"10-4, I'm out." They drove down Old Mill road and Bo decided to take a detour.
"Where you going?"
"You'll see." Bo gave Luke a sly grin as he stopped the truck by the old Indian caves. He shut off the engine and they made their way out of the truck. Bo walked for several minutes with Luke following.
"Where are we going?" Bo didn't answer but he stopped and pointed. Luke looked over to where Bo was pointing. He smilled at what he saw.
"Mr Johnson said if we can round them up, they're ours." Out in a clearing there were 2 wild horses running free.
"He's worried that they will get hurt, most likely get hit by a car or truck."
"How old are they?"
"Not too sure." Luke put his arm around Bo's waist.
"Got any idea on how to round them up?"
"Nope." Luke shook his head at Bo's answer.
"You're unbelievable, Beauregard." Bo grinned then put his hand onto Luke's head and messed up his hair.
"I know I am, Lukas."
"Come on, Rosco's waiting on us."
Word got around quickly in Hazzard about Daisy getting married. A lot of people were surprised that it wasn't to Enos. When Enos found out that Daisy was going to marry L.D., he got mad and decided to make a call.
"Yes, sir. I would like to come back." He paused as he listened to the man on the other line.
"Yes. I can be there in a couple days." Enos picked up a piece of paper and wrote out his resignation letter; seeing he could only type 8 words a minute. When Rosco went inside the sheriff's office, Enos walked up to Rosco. Without saying a word he handed him the letter, gun and then his badge. Rosco looked at the items and started to read the letter as Enos quickly left. He ran out the door trying to stop Enos from leaving.
"Enos! Hold up now!" Rosco ran down the sidewalk after Enos, who was driving away. "Enos! Enos!" Rosco was going to follow him and try to convince him to stay, but he realized that his patrol car was in for repairs. Not known to Rosco but Enos would be gone for two years.
"Hey, Rosco!" Daisy called out to him as he stood on the sidewalk, looking in the direction where Enos drove off.
"What you looking at?" Rosco turned and looked at her.
"Enos, he quit. He's gone." He turned around and made his way back inside the station. When Daisy followed him inside, he asked. "Is there something that you needed?"
"Yes, a marriage license."
"Marriage license? Who's getting married?"
"I am."
"To Enos?"
"No silly, L.D."
"Who's L.D.?"
"The man I have been seeing for the last 2 months."
"Two months? Don't you think you're rushing things a bit?"
"Now don't you start with me!"
"Daisy, I ain't startin' nothin' with you. Just asking a question." Rosco was looking in the file cabinet as he talked.
"Here it is." He pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Daisy.
"You fill it out and I'll sign it." Daisy filled out the form and Rosco looked it over and signed it.
By the time Bo and Luke got to town, word got out that Daisy was getting married. Bo and Luke pulled up to the Police Station and was greeted by Miss Jenny who owned the bakery.
"Hi, boys. I just heard the great news!" Bo looked at Luke confused.
"What news?"
"That Daisy's getting married, silly."
"She just told us not 20 minutes ago. How in the world did you find out?"
"Bo, honey. Half the town already knows." Bo closed his eyes and put his head back against the head rest of the truck.
"Shoot, that means Enos now knows." Bo opened the door and got out. They both made their way to the Police Station and saw Dasiy walking out with a piece of paper in her hand. Bo looked at Luke.
"How did she beat us here?"
"Well Bo, we did make a pit stop."
"Yeah, I guess we did."
