Summary: The Dukes are preparing for a Happy Halloween, but how happy will it be? Please Read and Review.

Balladeer: Welcome friends and neighbors to Hazzard County. It's one of those clean, crisp fall days just made for enjoyin'. Today's Halloween and pretty much the whole county's getting' ready for the costume party at the Boars Nest. At least that's what Daisy Duke is doin' on her sewin' machine. I wonder what she's goin' as?

"Hey Daisy! Uncle Jesse! We're back. Anyone home?"

"I'm in here Bo!"

"What're ya doin' girl?" Bo asks as he walks into the living room followed by his dark haired cousin Luke.

"I'm jus' finishin' up my costume for tonight."

"Whatcha goin' as? " Luke asks as he sits down on the couch beside Bo.

"Well look for yerselves." Daisy moves over in front of the boys and holds up her costume.

"A white robe?" Bo asks, his brow wrinkling in bewilderment.

"It ain't jus' a white robe Bo, I'm goin' as an angel. See these here wings I sewed on the back? I jus' gotta starch 'em up an' add a little wire."

"Not too bad Daisy. Let me see if I can rig ya up a halo of some sort ta go with it." Luke offers.

"Really? That'd be great! Thanks sugar!" She rushes over to Luke and gives him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Suck up." Bo mutters with a mock scowl before grinning at his two cousins.

"Hey! Yer jus' jealous cause I thought of it first." Luke teases.

"Just like usual." Bo smiles back.

"Oh you two. Knock it off." Daisy laughs. "So what are you two goin' as?" The boys look at each other and shrug their shoulders.

"We ain't rightly sure yet. Ya got any good ideas?" Bo replies.

"Hhmmmmm. Let me think about it for a minute." Daisy taps one long finger against her bottom lip in concentration. "How 'bout Nascar drivers?"

"Good idea, but we were kindly wantin' somethin' a little more creative." Bo rejects the idea.

"Um, okay what about gunslingers from the ol' west?"

"No way! Don't ferget our probation." Luke crushes the thought with a swift shake of his head.

"Yeah, not a good idea." Bo agrees. "We need somethin' unique." Luke nods in agreement.

"Unique huh?"

"Yeah."

"How 'bout the Frankenstein monster an' the mad scientist?"

"Uh-uh, no way am I coverin' up with an ugly mask. I gotta be able ta flirt with the girls without scarin' 'em." Bo objects.

"Well boys, I'm runnin' out of ideas." They were all silent for a few minutes, each lost in their own thoughts. Suddenly Luke snaps his fingers.

"I got me an idea. I think I'll go as the grim reaper. Do ya think ya could sew me up a black robe like yurn Daisy? One with a big hood that'll hang over my face an' sleeves that hang off my arms. Maybe it can be long enough to kindly drag behind me." Luke smiles up at Daisy as she nods her head.

"Sure, I can do that while ya make my halo." Luke and Daisy then look at Bo.

"Well shoot. Now we got us an angel an' death, what's that leave me?"

"Why not round it out. Ya could go as the devil." Luke suggests. Bo looks at him for a minute considering it.

"Weeellllllll… it ain't unique at all, but…" he narrows his eyes with deep thought, "yeah, awright. Can ya sew me somethin' up Daisy?"

"Sure Bo, we'll fix ya up some red pants an' a shirt, somethin' kinda shiny I'm thinkin'. That away it'll draw the attention of all them girls for ya."

"Yep, an' while I'm fixin' Daisy's halo you can fix up some type of horns an' tail. Oh an' don't ferget ta grab a pitchfork outta the barn." Luke adds.

"Hey awright! Sounds like we're all set." The kitchen door bangs shut as Bo agrees to the idea and Uncle Jesse walks into the room.

"All set fer what?" He asks as he sits down in his easy chair.

"We were jus' figurin' out our costumes for the party tonight." Bo answers, slapping Luke on the shoulder.

"What're you gonna be Uncle Jesse?" Daisy asks as she sits down on the arm of his chair and leans on his shoulder.

"Me? Well I come up with somethin' real good."

"What's that?" Bo questions.

"Well, I'm goin' as a farmer. An' the best thing about it is I don't even have ta change clothes." Everyone bursts out with laughter and Daisy gives her uncle a big hug.

"I always did say yer the smartest man in the county." She says around the laughter. Bo and Luke nod their heads in agreement.

"Ya got that right. Well, let's get ta work ya'll. We gotta get them costumes made up 'an the chores done or we'll never get there." Luke sighs as he gets up and heads for the door. "C'mon Bo."

Balladeer: Now ain't that nice? A family that works together an' plays together. I sure wish I could say things were gonna run smoothly, but as ya'll know… this is Hazzard County.
