DISCLAIMER

Sorry it's been so long. I've been busy, I've been watching the 1st season of Smallville, and this took me forever to get finished. I'm still not completely satisfied, DOH belongs to Warner Bros. I only own Carly and Melinda. I just realized that I've been spelling Rosco's name wrong. Sorry. Reference to the first movie.

The next day, Melinda stepped out of the Hazzard Motel. Her head was much clear now. It was obvious that Bo was just involved with a fling with that stupid cop. He'd be there for her. Just then, she spotted him. Unfortunately, he was with that stupid cop again. Come on, Bo. Don't be so stupid, Melinda thought to herself. She saw the cop saw something and Bo threw his head back and laughed. A pang of furious jealousy ran through her. Bo should be laughing at her jokes. Meanwhile, Daisy was at the court house, talking and laughing with Enos. Just then, Rosco and Cletus walked in.

"Daisy, what are you doing here?" Rosco asked. Then realizing how he had sounded, "Uh---that is---"

"Oh, Rosco. That's okay. I knew what you meant," Daisy interrupted. "And I just came to visit with Enos," she continued, staring at him somewhat shyly. Why am I feeling so funny around him? It's just Enos, Daisy thought to herself.

"Well, that's a switch. Usually, Enos is callin' on you," Cletus stated.

"Oh, Cletus. Just hush," Rosco scolded. His deputy was right of course, but there was no reason to rag on the guy.

"Actually ya'll, I did partially come here for official business," Daisy admitted, as she tried to clear her thoughts.

"What are you talking about, official business? What official business would a Duke have with Hazzard County Police?" Rosco asked.

"Somethin' that could put your name over the top for a small town," Daisy replied.

"Really?" Rosco asked, his interest piqued. Daisy quickly explained what was going on and that even though she had faith that Bo's girlfriend could handle the situation, she'd feel better better if they had some backup...even theirs.

"Well, possum on a gum bush. Of course we'll help, Daisy," Enos answered.

"Yeah. Absolutely," Cletus agreed.

"Now, hold on a minute. I'm the sheriff around here. I'm the one who decides if we help or not," Rosco reminded them.

"Oh, Rosco," Daisy said in disappointment.

"Oh, don't get your shorts in a bunch, Daisy. I'll help ya...even if you are a Duke," Rosco assured.

"Oh! Thank you Rosco! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Daisy exclaimed, wrapping her arms around the sheriff. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek. Then, they left the court house and headed for town with Daisy and Enos arm-in-arm. Back in town, Melinda continued to follow Bo and Carly. As she did so, she could barely contain her anger. How could Bo just gallavant around like this? Didn't he have any manners? Didn't he have any compassion? As Daisy walked with Enos, she glanced worriedly at her cousin and his girlfriend. Were they all right?

"Relax, Daisy. They'll be okay. Rosco and Cletus are following them too," Enos assured.

"I know, I know. But I can't help but worry," Daisy replied.

"Listen Daisy, I know this a bad time and all, but I can't wait any longer," Enos stated.

"If you're tryin' to propose Enos, yes. Yes, I think I'm finally ready," Daisy responded.

"Ha ha. Great," Enos said. He pulled out a ring and slipped it on her finger.

"Oh, Enos. Is this---" Daisy began to ask.

"Yes. This is the same ring from the last time I asked you," Enos interrupted.

"Oh, Enos," Daisy sighed. She wrapped her arms around him. Oh, wow. I can't believe it. I'm gonna be Mrs. Enos Strate, she happily thought. She and Enos kissed. Meanwhile, Melinda followed Bo and Carly. Where are they going? Melinda wondered after they had traipsed around for several minutes. To her surprise and dismay, they walked into a jewelry store. Bo took the woman over to the counter. He said something to the cashier, who pulled a small box out from underneath the counter. For a moment, the officer stared in confusion. Then, she opened it.

"Oh," Melinda heard her gasp. Then, she turned to him and kissed him forcefully. Melinda's eyes widened when she realized what it was. She was gonna lose him.

"NOOOOO!" Melinda shrieked. I won't lose him! I won't! she thought to herself. She rushed into the jewelry store and grabbed Carly.

"You witch! He's mine!" she shrieked. She dragged Carly into the streets.

"How could you! You think you're so great?" Melinda asked, punching Carly in the stomach. The female officer wheezed as she tried to catch her breath.

"Freeze! Just freeze!" a voice shouted. Melinda turned around just in time to see Rosco and Cletus arrive in their patrol cars. Behind them were Jesse's pickup truck and Vance's car. Daisy and Enos hurried up to them as Coy came out.

"You're not Bo! Who the heck are you?" Melinda shrieked.

"Bo! Bo, tell them! Tell them this is all a mistake! Baby, I love you!" Melinda cried. She tried to lunge at him, pushing through everybody as Bo fearfully backed away. Before they could stop her, Melinda swung an arm. Her fist hit Bo's jaw and he staggered back from the impact.

"Freeze it. You're under arrest," Rosco stated, pointing a gun at her.

"For what?" Melinda demanded.

"For assaulting a police officer and my boyfriend," Carly answered.

"Not to mention breakin' outta jail," Bo added.

"A smokey? Bo fell for a smokey?" Rosco asked in surprise. Then, "Well, never mind that. Cletus, cuff her and stuff her." Cletus did as he was told.

"Come on," he said, leading her to his patrol car. They drove away as Carly approached her boyfriend.

"Bo, are you all right?" Carly asked.

"I'm fine, Darlin'. You know I can take a punch," Bo reminded.

"Yeah. You can take a punch," Carly said fondly as she mockingly raised a fist. They kissed.

"A smokey? You got involved with a smokey, 'cuz?" Coy asked.

"Are you nuts, or did you just start ingestin' your own shine again?" Vance questioned.

"Well, I ain't nuts, and ain't made a lick o' shine since around '79," Bo answered, his Southern accent deepening. Just then, the cashier came out, holding the box.

"Mr. Duke, do you still want this?" the man asked as he walked up to them.

"Yes, Sir. I do," Bo replied.

"Good luck," the cashier said, and then walked back into the store.

"Bo, you mean you're---" Carly began to ask.

"Yeah, Darlin'. I am," Bo confirmed. "I want ya for my wife," he continued.

"Oh, Bo. Yes. Yes, of course," Carly breathed.

"Great. We have a double weddin'," Daisy declared.

"Wait a minute. You mean, you and Enos---" Luke began to ask.

"Yeah. He just proposed," Daisy answered.

"Well, congratulations...both of you," Luke stated.

"Wait a minute. How are we gonna tell everyone?" Carly wondered.

"Ah, shoot. Don't worry 'bout that, honey. We'll just have the weddin' after the race. It'll save on invitations and a Hazzard gal can get ready in no time," Daisy answered.

"Well, I'm not from Hazzard," Carly reminded.

"Ah, shoot, honey. I'll help ya," Daisy assured. Then, "Come on, ya'll. Let's go get ready." With that, everyone left.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Yes, I know it was actually Coy with Carly, but Melinda thought it was Bo, which is why said Bo instead of Coy.
