Chapter Two
Thanks for the Reviews
Bo opened the door to "Chill Out" ice cream shop and headed inside. "Daisy this is so great. I never thought that ya'd make it to the Big Times and here we are."
"Well thanks for your support Bo." She said sarcastically.
"Oh not like that. I always had faith in ya, but you've always been a little shy and I kept tellin ya that to get noticed, you gotta do somethin that people will notice."
"I know it's just that I was afraid they would've rejected me an' my songs."
"Well Daisy, you're here now and Bo and me couldn't be more proud." Luke chimed in as he read the menu. Then he got a confused look on his face that could have made a turtle get confused.
"Jeez Luke, there must be some wheels turnin in yer head right about now."
"Have ya'll ever even heard of this ice cream?" They all looked up and saw an endless amount of ice cream choices. Some flavors they couldn't even say right.
"Next." They all scooted up to counter and gave the girl a horrified look. "Ah, and you three must not be from around here. Not a problem, I'll get it for you." She hollered somethin to the back about choco and cream and a long stick beam. "There you go they should be ready in no time." She smiled at them all and let out her high pitched 'next.'
"So Daisy did ya have any songs in mind fer yer first album?"
"Well the one I sang today is defiantly in. It was the first one I ever wrote and I just get this feelin that it's a winner."
"Well I know fer a fact that if ya sing as pertty as ya did today, ya'll aint got nothin ta worry 'bout." Just as he finished his sentence the young girl brought out the ice cream. All it was was banana split.
"Why don't ya'll just put banana split up there?" Daisy asked not seeing why they would do that.
"Because down here, that's what we call a banana split." The young girl winked at Bo and sent them on their way."
"Well she's kinda rude in a nice way." Luke said as they found a table to sit at.
"What?" Daisy asked as Bo pulled out her seat for her.
"Well she was kinda nice at first, then she got snippy at you, then she was nice again. Probably had a long day."
"I think she's kinda cute." Bo said smiling.
"Bo we're out for Daisy right now. Hold in your hormones til we get back to the hotel." Luke scolded. He knew that Bo was being completely harmless but right now it was all for Daisy.
"So fellas, since none of my girlfriends are here you are gonna have to do." She paused for a moment to think about how she was gonna word it. "Tim asked me out tonight and I was wonderin if ya'll thought I looked any prettier in one dress than another." She got it all out in one sentence and automatically felt a little better.
"Daisy, ya hardly even know the guy." Bo blurted in before Luke could stop him. "Ya shouldn't just run out with a guy from a big city on the second day ya know him. What if he's dangerous?" Bo said, horrified that his baby cousin was going to be out in the big city with a stranger."
"Now hold on a minute Bo, I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself. I don't need you and Luke hoverin over me. I'm gonna go whether ya'll like it or not so could ya just try ta make the best of it?"
"Slow down a bit Daisy. Bo didn't mean any harm in what he's sayin, it's just that we hardly know the guy and maybe if Bo and me talked to him a little, it would settle our nerves lil' bit."
"No way. You boys aint gonna ruin my night. I should've never even brought up the whole thing and I should've just left tonight." Daisy stood up abruptly and hauled herself out the door and sat down on a bench.
"Ah Luke, it was nothin personal to her, I just don't think a lil country girl like her should be goin out with a big star like Tim. I just don't trust him."
"She knows that Bo, and that's probably why she got mad. You and me never trust the guys she dates because by the end of the relationship she's either kidnapped, tied up or involved with somethin that could cost her, her life."
They both looked out at Daisy who was know standing and heading off to a bookstore across the street. Suddenly out of the corner of his eye, Bo saw something that gave him a quiver in his liver, there was a red light which gave Daisy the right away but one car looked like it wasn't gonna stop, and he was right it continued it's sixty mile an hour pace straight for Daisy. "Luke, Daisy gonna be hit!" Bo yelled as he jumped out of his seat. Luke was hot on his heels as they made it out the door. "Daisy, get out of the road!" Luke yelled as he and Bo dashed for her. She stopped and turned around to see Bo and Luke ten feet away from her and a car to her left that wasn't going to stop. All of the sudden she couldn't move, her body felt like a thousand pounds of dead weight. She closed her eyes and held her breath as she waited for impact.
(Scene Freezes) What a time for Daisy to Pose
Something plowed into her chest as another thing grabbed her arms and pushed her out of the way. She opened her eyes to see Bo and Luke latching onto her on the sidewalk and looking at the car that continued to drive away down the road and take a left. "You all right Daisy?" Bo all but hollered at her as he began push and prod at her.
"Ya, I'm fine. I do have to say that was perfect timein fellas or ya'll would be playin 'True Blue Hearts' at my funeral." She said in one big sigh.
Of course her stupid cousins would be there to push her out of the way. But that's okay, I'm not finished with you miss Daisy Duke. I am gonna get you and I will be the one singing at your burial. You wait and see, soon enough I'll be rid of you.
The driver pulled off towards the recording building, no one anymore wise that that car had almost killed Daisy Duke.
"Now you're sure you're alright Daisy?" Bo asked as they climbed in the General.
"Yes Bo I'm fine, the car never touched me. I should be askin you fellas if you two are alright."
"Ah Daisy you know Bo and me, we're to stubborn to get hurt." Luke said as he pulled out of the parking lot and headed back to the recording building.
When they arrived Tim and some person they had never seen before were laughing together and signing some papers. As Daisy and the boys got out Tim sent the person on their way and walked up to them. "So I hope you Boys and Daisy had a nice time celebrating." Tim said as he leaned down and gave Daisy a kiss on the cheek.
"For awhile, until someone purposely tried to hit Daisy with a car. It was a good thin Bo and me were there or she would be knockin on some pearly gates right bout now."
Tim looked horrified. "Someone tried to hurt you? Did you see the person who was driving the car?"
"No except we got a license plate number. It was NBZ195. Bo and me figured that you might have resources round here to look that up on."
"Of course we do, come with me." He took Daisy ahead with him and tried to take her mind off the situation with all of paperwork, but that didn't do anything for Bo and Luke. "Did you get a look at the person who was talkin to Tim?" Luke asked as they headed inside the building.
"No but she sure did look familiar." Bo said as he began to think where he saw her.
"That was Gloria Stevens. One of countries most popular singers of all time, but just a month ago something happened to her vocal cords and now she has been permanently excused from her singing career. I think that if anyone should be jealous of Daisy, it's her. I think you and me are gonna have to keep a close eye on Gloria incase she gets any funny ideas." Luke said as they headed inside the Daisy's recording room.
