DISCLAIMER

Dukes of Hazzard belongs to Warner Bros. I only own Carly and Melinda. I'm putting Hazzard in Georgia, and I'm aware that the amount of time it takes Melinda to go from California to Georgia is unrealistic, but, oh well.

What no one knew, was that Melinda had driven nonstop through various states and was now in Georgia. The woman smirked. Soon, Bo would be hers again. Bo Duke, here I come, she thought. She could hardly wait. Bo was the cutest thing she had ever seen, and she wasn't going to let him get away again. Then, she saw it: the exit she was looking for.

"Hazzard, next exit," she grinned. Finally. I can't believe it. I'm gonna be able to see Bo again, she thought to herself. She changed lanes and drove through the exit. As she entered Hazzard, she looked around. Hmm. Kinda picturesque, she thought. She'd have to come back...someday, after Bo finally realized that they belonged together. She just had to make him see that. But how? She was so intent on her thoughts that she didn't even realize that the car's speed had increased until she heard the sirens behind her. She pulled over to the side of the road and cut the engine.

"Okay, lady. What's the big idea of rushin' through here like bees after honey?" Hazzard's sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane asked as exited his car and walking up to her.

"Sorry, Sheriff. It's my first time in Hazzard, and I guess I...just got a little excited," Melinda apologized with a slight giggle.

"Excuses, excuses," Roscoe dismissed. "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to give you a ticket," he continued.

"Oh, Sheriff. Do you really have to?" Melinda asked.

"I'm afraid so, lady. No one from or visitin' Hazzard pulls one over Roscoe P. Coltrane," Roscoe responded as he wrote out the ticket. Melinda fumed quietly as he handed her the paper. She didn't have time for this. She had to get to Bo! He was the only thing that mattered. With a sigh, she took the ticket.

"Thirty-five dollars?" she asked. Was this hick cop serious?

"Dang straight I am," Roscoe told her. With an annoyed sigh, she dug through her purse and pulled out various bills. She counted out the bills until she had thirty-five dollars and then handed them to the man.

"Well, glad to see you're willin' to pay up. Unlike most people," Roscoe said.

"Whatever. Can I go now?" Melinda asked.

"Yeah. Git," Roscoe told her. She took off. He sputtered when he realized she was going the same speed as before.

"Dang it!" he finally yelled. No respect. I just git no respect, he thought to himself. Everyday it was the same. Maybe it was time he retired. Yeah, retire. Then he could just relax and maybe find a nice gal to settle down with. But if he retired, that meant Cletus would become sheriff.

"That dipstick as sheriff? Not while Roscoe P. Coltrane is still alive," Roscoe said out loud. With that, he got back int ohis car and then took off. Meanwhile, Pauline, Cooter, Carly, and the Dukes had just entered town. They were trying to keep Bo's mind off his troubles and had figured a trip into town would do the trick.

"Listen Sugar, we ain't gonna let nothin' happen to ya," Daisy told Bo.

"Yeah, I know it, Daisy," he answered. He sighed. "It's just that...I---" As his voice trailed off, he stopped dead in his tracks.

"Bo, what is it?" Luke asked.

"It's her. She's here," Bo answered with fear in his voice.
