Bo looked around. He was still tired and couldn't see everyone in his room. He tried to sit up.
"You gotta help Sarah! She crashed the General!"
"Whoa, Bo, It's OK, Just relax just relax, cousin. " Said Luke as he gently pushed Bo back onto the bed.
Bo relaxed and Shut his eyes again.
Sarah's face was one of puzzlement. She had not been driving the General Lee when they had crashed, Bo was. She crutched towards Bo.
"I'm right here. I'm fine, Bo." She said, clasping his hand and squeezing it.
Bo sighed a sigh of relief as he took sight of her.
"Man, Little cousin, you had me frightened. You went up that jump perfectly, and you sailed right through that air. I couldn't believe you turned into the fence n' flipped. I'm sorry I couldn't help ya."
Sarah was still puzzled. Every time Bo and her had been driving, she hadn't crashed.
"Bo," Sarah spoke, "I wasn't driving the General Lee when we got in an accident by the river shortcut, you were."
In sudden thought, Bo understood what had happened.
He had slumped over and they had gone strait into the river, Sarah screaming as the two submerged with water. She had undone his seat belt and pulled him free. Bo owed his life to Sarah.
"Sorry," he said as he laughed. "Near death experience."
His family smiled.
"Lets not tell im' the truth bout' that." Whispered Jesse to Daisy, which made her eyes water. She dabbed them with a tissue.
Sarah looked up at Luke, who was smiling, but was surprised when he saw her face go from joyful to depressed.
"What's the matter, little cousin?" asked Luke.
"The race. The over land race." Was her reply.
"What about it?" asked Bo.
"Neither of us will be able to race. My cast doesn't come off for three more weeks. That would give us 1 week before the starting line. I won't be ready by then."
Sarah turned around.
"Bo, your not gonna be out for a long while, and the General, I don't think…"
"Now don't you dukes be worryin' bout that." Interrupted Cooter. " I've been workin' on the General Lee ever since he got pulled out. The General will be ready."
"That solves the car problem," began Bo, " But who'll drive?"
"Ahem…" gestured Luke.
"Luke?" they all said in unison.
" Are you sure?" asked Bo. " You've always rode passenger."
"I've driven the General Lee plenty a times." Was Luke's reply.
"When?" asked Daisy, with an unsure look on her face.
"Plenty of times." Luke shot back. "Look I'm your only option."
"I guess he's right." Said Sarah. "Unless Cooter wanted to drive."
"Nah. I don't go for the racin'."
"Luke it is." Said Uncle Jesse as he finalized it.
Bo sighed. Luke was not the best racer. He was way too scared to do any of the jumps, and he was way too honest to take one of the shortcuts. Luke was just too nice.
