Megan looked happier in the days to come and her nightmares wore off in time. She had even gone to Mark's trial to testify against him and she looked calm as she said everything that he did. They had even invited two of the three girls that he had raped to the trial. The third was in a depression clinic and couldn't come, but the other two, like her, had found God.
Bo and Brian wondered if she could handle the trial, but she sat there calmly without shaking as she described Mark trying to get her drunk, cornering her and her brother and cousin in town, kidnapping her, drugging her, and then burying her alive.
After Brian testified the jury went back into a room to think about what to do with Mark. The verdict was unanimous. Mark was given 40 years in prison for assault, rape, giving alcohol to minors, endangerment, and attempted murder. Leaving the two other girls in the woods after he raped them and burying Megan alive constituted as attempted murder.
As soon as the judge read his sentence and closed the case, the Dukes hugged and Brian kissed Megan. It had been seven months since her ordeal and since she had gone back to school he hadn't seen her that much.
"It's over, Megan. It's over," Brian said, wrapping his arms around her and hugging her tightly.
"I know. I'm just so happy. I want to plan our wedding now," Megan said, resting her head against Brian's chest. She had dyed her hair brown and Brian was still trying to get used to it. He liked her golden hair and when she came back for her last vacation and he saw her new hair color, he wasn't sure if he liked this new look. Megan had told him that she had brown hair before and that she liked it for a new look as a singer.
"Are you sure?" Brian asked,
"I'm positive. I'm feeling much better than I was months ago. We said it would be a year or until I was ready. I feel ready," Megan said as they walked outside.

So, the next few months, was spent planning and getting things ready for Megan's Wedding. Daisy and her mom helped of course

with alot of the Wedding Preparation. Brian wanted both Bo and Luke to be his best men at the wedding since all three were

best friends. Megan wanted her wedding to be outdoors at a plantation and she wanted to come in a carriage being led by a horse

galloping into the yard. Megan also wanted her brother Bo to sing at the wedding since she had heard of his singing talent before.

During christmas, her and Bo would often sing christmas music together, followed by Luke and their father.

Megan wanted to be dressed like a princess on her wedding day. Because that was how she felt when she was with Brian. A princess

and he was the prince.

Megan sent out invitations that following Friday and was working on them when her mom and dad came in. Megan was happier and

healthier than she ever been once she found her real family and found Brian. School was going great and she was doing

excellant in her studies. No more nightmares about Mark ever happened.

Megan just wished that someone would discover her singing talent. Months flew by and still no record producer came up to her

want to sign her on. Megan suddenly knew what her and Brian would have to do. After they got married, Megan wanted them to

move to Nashville, Tennessee. More talented singers got discovered there while playing the Grand Ole opry and numerous

Clubs. Her chances of being discovered there was good. Megan discussed this with her family and Brian that night and said

she wanted to try to become a country music star. "Leann Rimes started out early", she pointed out.

Bo and the others didn't quite know what to say about that. Bo had hoped his sister and Brian would make their home in Hazzard. he didn't want them moving to Nashville.
"Megan, I was kind of hoping you'd stay after you married Brian here," Bo said, hoping his voice was calm.
"Bo, you know me and Brian were planning on moving so I can sing," Megan said, her blue eyes filled with reproach.
"I know. I was hoping you might change your mind. I'd like to see you every day instead of it being holidays. I miss you when you're gone," Bo said, feeling tears form behind his eyes. Megan stood and walked over to her brother and wrapped her arms around his shoulders as she kissed his curly blond hair.
"I miss you too, Bo, but you knew that I'd leave eventually," Megan said, running her fingers through his hair as she hugged.him.
"Bo, we wouldn't do anything to hurt you. Me and Megan just want to start new lives somewhere else. We'll be back, but we want something new. Something just for me and her," Brian said.
Bo couldn't argue with that. he had always wanted to leave Hazzard too. If he had a pretty wife to think about he might just do it

The next day, Megan invited her best friend Lori Leigh over to discuss and plan out the wedding. The two girls and Daisy sat around

the livingroom, planning everything. Her mom Mandy Duke was even in on it, offering ideas.

Luke, and Brian had to join the others outside. Bo and Uncle Jessie. The livingroom had women in it, talking about women

stuff.

Uncle Jessie looked up "What's the matter, Luke?" he asked.

Luke "Its the women. They have taken over the livingroom. It looks like one big sleepover in there".

"Too much talk about Wedding and Parties", Brian said shaking his head.

Uncle Jessie laughed "Well get used to it.Megan is getting married soon".

Brian perked up "Hey, Bo, Megan's friend Lori Leigh is here. She's a pretty redhead and from what I've heard, she's single and

she's so your type".
