CARRYIN' ON LIKE THEY DID BEFORE
DISCLAIMER
Dukes of Hazzard belongs to Warner Bros. I only own the plot. Takes place in between the Hazzard Reunion and Dukes Go To Hollywood movies. Uncle Jesse's still alive, Daisy's finished school and has become a famous marine biologist, Luke's still firefightin' along side of his honey that we saw in the first scene of the first movie, and Bo's still racin' on the circuit, but these days, he's usin' the General. I'm an avid Duke fan, but this is my first fic. Unfortunately, I'm not gonna do a Balladeer. I just don't think I'll be able to Waylon Jennings and Don Williams justice.
CHAPTER ONE: WELCOME TO HAZZARD
The fire truck whizzed down the road.
"Hazzard County fifty miles!" the first man---the driver---shouted.
"Hey! You excited about seein' your family again?" the second man asked.
"Oh, boy. You bet," Luke Duke answered.
"And this time I'll actually be able to stay," his girlfriend Pauline Baker stated.
"Nothin' pleases me more, Darlin'," Luke declared. Just then, the driver noticed a motorcycle pulling up alongside them.
"Who's that?" a firefighter wondered.
"What's it say on the jacket?" Luke queried. The other man checked.
"'Duke'," he reported.
"Oh, that's Daisy. She's done with school but wears the jacket for sentimental reasons," came the answer.
"Hey, Luke!" Daisy Duke greeted.
"Howdy, Daisy!" Luke acknowledged with a wave.
"Man, I'd like to have a piece of that," one of the men said lustfully.
"Hey, watch it! That's my cousin you're talkin' about," Luke chided. "Besides, Daisy can skin ya alive," he continued.
"You serious?" the man asked.
"Dead serious. I remember the time me an' Bo accidentally ran her yeller car off a cliff and she was madder than heck. Chased us all through the backyard hittin' us with a frying pan," Luke confirmed. Then, "Made good time wearin' heels." Soon, they were in Hazzard and made their way out to the Duke Farm. Then, they stopped. Jesse Duke laughed and came out to greet them as Cooter B. Davenport tended to the barbecue.
"Luke, Daisy!" he greeted.
"Uncle Jesse!" Luke and Daisy chorused, dismounting their vehicles and running up to meet the man.
"How you doin', Uncle Jesse?" Luke asked.
"Fine, fine," Jesse answered. Then, "Uh, Luke?" Luke turned around just in time see Pauline jump from the truck.
"Oh, Pauline! I'm sorry, Darlin'," he apologized.
"It's okay. It's not often you're slack on your manners," Pauline responded.
"Lucas Dukas!" Cooter called.
"Cooter, only you," Luke laughed.
"Howdy, Ma'am," Jesse greeted.
"Hi, Mr. Duke. I'm Pauline Baker. Luke's girlfriend," Pauline introduced herself.
"Well, pleased to meet ya. And you can me 'Uncle Jesse'," Jesse responded. Then, looking up the road, "Where's Bo?"
"I don't know. I ain't seen him on the way up," Luke answered.
"Me neither, Uncle Jesse," Daisy added. Just then, they heard a car engine.
"Who's that?" a firefighter asked.
"Most likely Bo," Luke determined. Then, they heard sirens.
"Yep. Definitely Bo," Luke and Daisy laughed. They watched as an orange car with an '01' on the sides and a confederate flag on the top came into view with a police car on its tail.
"Well, that ain't a Hazzard car," Jesse commented.
"Well, then who---" Daisy's question fell away as the General Lee squealed to a stop as the police car did the same. They watched as Bo Duke angrily slid out of the window. Daisy and the others stared at each other, each unsure of what was going on. Cooter had even forgotten all about the barbecue he was supposed to be minding.
"Cri---mo---ny!" he bellowed.
"Hold it right there," a woman in a police uniform said, coming out of the car.
"Lady, what's the big idea followin' me?" Bo demanded.
"You're under arrest," she told him.
"Arrest? What for?" Bo questioned angrily.
"Speeding, resisting arrest, and a general bad attitude," she responded.
"Bad attitude?" Bo repeated.
"That's right," she confirmed. "So, what do you plan to do about it?" she asked.
"What do I plan to do about it? What do I plan to do about it?" Bo echoed. "I'll show you what I plan to do about it," he continued.
"Uh, Bo," Daisy interjected. She wasn't sure what was going on, but she was certain that assualting an officer wasn't going to help him any.
"Here's what I plan to about it," Bo stated. They watched as Bo grabbed the officer.
"Bo," Luke said nervously. He spun her around and kissed her, lowering the woman in a dip. Then he pulled her back up.
"Welcome to Hazzard, Darlin'," he told her.
