Epilogue

The road into Hazzard was a lonely road. Not many people drove through Hazzard who didn't live in Hazzard!

But soon enough the stillness was broken by two approaching vehicles.

One was a white pickup truck with an elderly man driving, and right beside the pickup was an orange Dodge Charger nicknamed the General Lee.

Bo Duke was driving the General, wearing a big smile on his face and Luke Duke sat in the passanger seat, wearing an equally big smile on his face.

"Come on cuz', let's see what the General can do. He is supposed ta be a racecar after all." Luke suggested.

Bo's grinned widened as he grabbed the CB mike and spoke into the mic.

"Lost Sheep ta Shepard, Lost Sheep ta Shepard, ya got yer ears on?" Bo asked.

While they were waiting for Uncle Jesse to respond, Bo mulled over their CB handles.

They were catchy and kind of cute in a way.

It was Luke who suggested the term 'Lost Sheep', since the Duke's were Christians, they wanted a Christian handle, so Luke picked a biblical story, about the Shepard and his Lost Sheep.

Uncle Jesse took to it immediatly and instantly took on the 'Shepard' CB handle.

Luke was Lost Sheep #1, and Bo was Lost Sheep #2.

"This is Shepard, go ahead Lost Sheep." Uncle Jesse replied over the CB channel.

"Uncle Jesse, me and Luke'll meet'cha home. We wanna see what the General can do." Bo said.

"Alright, but you boys be careful. I don't wanna have'ta scrap you two off the roadside with a spatula." Jesse replied.

Bo and Luke chuckled slightly as they imagined Jesse on the side of the road with a spatula in hand, scraping up a flattened Luke and Bo Duke.

"10-4, Uncle Jesse." Bo said, before he replaced the CB mic in it's cradle.

Calmly 13 year old Bo Duke placed his right hand on the gear shift and said, "Hang on cousin, this is where it get's intresting."

Luke tightened his grip on his seat as Bo took the General out of second gear and floored the accelerator.

The General shot forward as if shot from a gun, easily reaching up to speeds of 150 mph!

"YEEHAW!" Bo said, hardly containing his excitment at going so fast.

"Let's see how he handles the jumps." Luke suggested.

"I'm all over it, cousin." Bo said as he jerked the steering wheel all the way to the right and flew down Old Mill Road and headed towards the bridge, which was still out.

"Now Bo, yer gonna need ta take it fast." Luke said.

"I know, I know." Bo replied as the General edged closer to the makeshift ramp up ahead.

In no time the General hit the ramp and went sailing, flying directly over the pass and landing safely on the other end.

"That was so fun, I wanna do it again!" Bo said gleefully.

Luke, who glanced behind them noticed a police car pull into view, lights flashing and sirens blazing.

"Yeah, ya may get yer chance cuz'. There's Rosco behind us." Luke said.

Bo glanced in the side mirror and saw the police car.

"Not fer long, cuz." Bo replied as he gunned the General and shot forward again.

From behind them they heard Rosco order, "ALRIGHT YOU TWO IN THAT CAR, PULL IT OVER AND I MEAN NOW!"

"Sorry Rosco, we're a little busy at the moment!" Bo yelled out the window as he turned the car onto Route 3, which would take them through Hazzard's town square.

"Bo, ya do realize where this road lead's to, don'tcha?" Luke asked as Bo blazed over the train tracks and entered Hazzard.

"Yeah Luke, I realize this." Bo said as he fought the steering wheel to correct his overcorrection of their course.

The General whipped one way and then the other before coming to a halt inches from Enos Strait's police car!

"Slick cuz'." Luke said, high fiving Bo.

At that second, Rosco came tearing into town.

At seeing the orange car just sitting there, Rosco broke into a grin and said, "Kee Kee, I'm gona cuff em and stuff em. Oh, I love it, I love it."

However, Bo saw him coming, and when he was close enough, Bo edged the General around the car so that Rosco ran into the police car instead of the General!

"Oh, oh..that smarted." Rosco said as he looked over at his ruined car with dismay.

From inside the General, Luke and Bo watched Rosco climb out of his wrecked car without a single scratch.

"He looks ok. Come on, we gotta hurry if we wanna beat Uncle Jesse home." Luke said, tapping Bo on the shoulder.

Bo nodded and said, "Bye bye Rosco." Before he floored the pedal and shot away from the Police Station.

Five minutes later the Duke Boys roared to a stop outside of the farm, scattering the chickens that were in their path.

They laughed as they climbed out of their car and looked around the farm.

"Well, the place looks alright." Luke said.

"Well course it looks alright!" A voice said from behind them.

Luke and Bo turned to see Daisy standing there, arms crossed.

"With me doin' all the chores and everything, I should hope the place looks alright!" Daisy said.

Luke gulped, but Daisy suprised them when she broke into a huge grin and walked up to hug Bo.

Bo hugged her back gratefully.

"I'm so glad yer home, I missed you both so much!" Daisy said.

"An we missed you." Luke replied.

"Sure did." Bo agreed.

Daisy, noticing the General, walked all around it, admiring it.

"And you get yerselves a car." She said.

"Built it from scratch!" Luke boasted.

"Ya mean WE built it from scratch, don'tcha?" Bo asked.

Luke chuckled and nodded his head, just as Uncle Jesse arrived.

As he climbed out of the truck, Jesse said, "I jus' ran inta Rosco at the Police Station. He claims an orange car made him crash into his deputy's car. Now, you boys wouldn't know anything about that, would you?"

Bo and Luke looked at each other uncertantly for a second before they replied, "Uh..n..no sir."

Jesse then broke out into a laugh that startled everyone.

"You should have seen his face as his car was towed off. He looked like he had lost his best friend!" Jesse said.

Bo and Luke broke into grin's themselves at this news.

"Well, it's good ta be home." Jesse said, wrapping his arm around Daisy.

"Ya'll come inside an washup, Dinner's 'bout ready." Daisy said.

"How'd ya know we was comin'?" Luke asked.

"Mrs. Archer phoned and said ya was on yer way home." Daisy replied.

Bo smiled and said, "That Mrs. Archer, ain't she somethin?"

"Yeah, she sure is...now come on, I'm starvin!" Luke said.

Bo nodded his head and followed Luke and Daisy into the farmhouse.

Jesse just stood there for a second thinking.

He was glad that Bo had made the choice to come back to Hazzard.

He was also glad that the rift between Bo and Luke was healed and that they were friends.

He walked inside just as the sun set over the horizon.

The Duke's were home, and they become the close-knit family that everybody knew and loved.
