A couple weeks ago in the John Schneider gallery thread, Teresa gave me some inspiration with a certain picture she posted. That picture looked to me like a Young Jonathan and Martha Kent. With that inspiration, we've been working hard on this crossover fic. I'm happy to announce that the first chapter is ready to be posted. Be aware that the first few chapters will mostly be Dukes of Hazzardish, but I promise the Smallville will come later. Now without further ado, the picture that inspired this and then the first chapter. Posted Image Well howdy stranger and welcome to Hazzard County. For those of you who ain’t familiar with Hazzard, know that Strange things generally happen here. This tale is no different. It might just be a little stranger than most. This strange story is a love story, and it all begins on a Saturday afternoon at ole Hazzard Pond with a young man by the name of Bo and a little lady named Mindy Sue. “That was some mighty fine cookin’ Mindy Sue darlin’. The best fried chicken I ever had.” “Course it was Bo, I made it ‘specially for you.” “Just the way I love it. Just like I love you.” The young blonde, Bo wrapped his well toned arms around the auburn haired fair skinned Mindy Sue from behind and hugged her close. The embrace lasted for a few wonderful moments. Many thoughts went through Bo’s mind, the past year of courtship with the beautiful woman in his arms. He thought of all the time they’ve spent together and how she had sort of been adopted as one of the Duke family. He smiled at what he had planned for the evening and glanced down at his pocket where there was a square shaped box. Bo could feel the love between the two of them like nothing else he had ever felt before in his girl chasing times. Bo intended to make it official that night. She was to become a Duke. Ever since he met Mindy Sue, Bo never felt inclined to see any other girl and never planned to anymore. He squeezed her just a little harder at that thought. Bo’s eyes twinkled and then a wild and mischievous grin grew on his face as a new thought came to his mind. “Hey Mindy Sue, wanna go for a dip?” She turned her head so that her gaze met with Bo’s twinkling baby blue eyes. She tried so hard to suppress the smile that was forming under her skin. Her face muscles were trying so hard, but her mind wouldn’t let them betray what she was actually feeling or thinking, especially to Bo. She wanted to tease him a little first. “It depends. What type of dip you were suggesting?” “Well, I can think of four different types of dippin’. How ‘bout we do the one right now, and I’ll show ya the other three later?” “And what ‘one’ would that be Bo?” she asked innocently, but knowing perfectly well what ‘one’ he was suggesting. He winked at her and said “Let’s go swimming.” and then gave her a kiss on the top of her head. She finally let herself smile. More than that, she let herself laugh and gave that very sweet blonde a hug and a peck on the cheek. “Alright, lets go for ‘a dip.’” “Yeehaw!” So a very happy couple spent the afternoon in Hazzard pond splashing around and having a good time. There was a lot of horseplay and a lot of affection that went on during that time. Over all it was a great couple hours that made both Mindy Sue and Bo very happy. None of them would have given that time up for the world. He held her in another loving, and very wet embrace. “I love ya Bo Duke” “I love ya too, my beautiful Mindy Sue.” After their fingers were sufficiently pruned, they decided that they would leave the pond and go for a drive. They held hands as they walked towards the car. Bo led Mindy Sue to the General Lee, a bright orange Dodge charger with a confederate flag on the roof, and a giant 01 painted on the door. “Your chariot awaits m’lady.” He bowed down low and held his hand out. She took his hand and then Bo expertly picked her up and slid her in through the open window. He then slid over the hood and slipped into the driver’s seat through the window as well. “Where we gonna go Chauffeur?” “I dunno. Just thought it’d be nice to go for a drive. I think it’d be relaxin’” “Sounds good ta me Bo.” The powerful engine of the General Lee roared to life and sped off. Bo took the General on all the more scenic roads in Hazzard. He took Mindy Sue to the mountains, and too the caves. He even took her out into a meadow that was the most beautiful in the tri-county area. They spent the time chatting about their life and enjoying each other’s company. Among other things, one topic they talked about a lot was how they were excited about how they were both waiting for a letter in the mail. They both applied to get into Metropolis University and hoped that they would both be accepted. They wanted to go there together and were planning the time they’d spend out there in Kansas with each other. They ate a nice supper in that large and beautiful meadow from a hidden basket that Bo had in the back seat. He had worked hard all that morning to prepare Mindy Sue’s favorite meal all by himself. Well he did have a little help from Daisy, but he wasn’t about to admit that to anyone. That morning he told Luke, Daisy, and Uncle Jesse what he was going to do that evening, and they were all for it. They would meet him at the Boars Nest after suppertime for a very special night. So after their nice dinner Bo and Mindy Sue got back in the General and headed back for town. They were just a couple minutes from Hazzard creek when something out of the ordinary happened. “Bo, take me for a jump.” “What?” “Take me for a jump. I’ve seen you jump the General hundreds of times with Luke, but you’ve never taken me. Jump the creek with me Bo.” “If you say so darlin’, I was wantin’ ta do this with you today, I just didn’t know how ta ask ya. I’ve been thinking ‘bout it fer the past five minutes.” “You could’ve just asked, I’ve been wanting to ask for the past five minutes. Isn’t that silly of both of us? Well let’s get goin’ Bo. The day ain’t getting’ any younger.” “Have I told you how much I love you today Mindy Sue?” “Yes, but frequent reminders are always a nice.” “I love you. Now hang on we’re about ta jump.” Mindy Sue reached over and held Bo’s hand as he gunned the engine and hit the bump just before the creek. Mindy’s grasp tightened on Bo’s hand as the General began its ascent. She reached over with her other hand and pressed the horn sending the first twelve notes of “Dixie” flying in the air as they were over the creek bed. She shouted together with Bo a triumphant “YEEEEEEHAW!!!!!!!!” As the General Lee made contact with the far side of the creek with a thunk. “Wow! That was amazing Bo. Now I know why you love doing that so much, what a thrill.” Bo chuckled and wrapped an arm around Mindy Sue’s shoulder and continued to drive. “Yeah.” The rest of the drive towards town was done in contented silence. Bo kept on glancing over to her and squeezing her hand. He also kept thinking about what he was going to do in just a few short minutes. He grinned and then broke the silence. “Hey Mindy Sue, lets go jukin’.” Now for those of you who are culturally deprived, jukin’ is a social gathering where people come together to drink, have fun, and dance. The place for that in Hazzard is in none other than the “Boars Nest.” “I’d love to go jukin’ tonight Bo. We’ve had so much fun today already, I’m ready for more. Oh is Daisy, Luke and Uncle Jesse gonna be there?” “Yes they are darlin’, I told them we’d be there after suppertime.” “Is something goin’ on that I don’t know about Bo Duke?” “Well, yes. Lets just say, I’m about ta show ya the other three types of dippin’ that I know.” At that moment Bo stopped the General. They had made it to the Boars Nest parking lot. He slid out of his window and went around to the passenger side. He reached in and wrapped his arms around her, Mindy Sue reached her arms around his neck and held on. He pulled her out with both of them clinging to the other. He held her in his arms even after pulling her out all the way. She kissed him on the cheek. “To the Boars Nest?” He kissed her on the head and then her cheek then said with a smile, “To the Boars Nest.” and carried her through the front door. |

Thanks you guys, here is the next chapter ----------------- As soon as the front door closed, the sounds of the bar could be heard. There was music, laughter, amid the usual evening chatter. Bo gently set Mindy Sue down with a kiss and brought his hand down to hers. He laced his fingers with hers and brought her hand to his lips and kissed it. “I love ya Mindy Sue, thanks for bein’ so wonderful.” They walked hand in hand towards a table but were interrupted when Daisy came running by and gave Mindy Sue a big bear hug. “Oh Mindy Sue, how was your day sugar?” “It was wonderful Daisy, absolutely wonderful. We had lots of fun, isn’t that right Bo?” “That’s right. We had a great time today.” “That’s great ta hear, you two. Now let’s get y’all a table. Daisy led Bo and Mindy Sue to a table on the side of the room The tables around them were empty all except one which had Uncle Jesse sitting at it. On the table they sat at was an empty vase that was only filled with water. Daisy winked at Bo when the two were seated, at which point he then excused himself to take a trip to the men’s room. As soon as he entered the restroom, Bo saw his dark haired sapphire blue eyed cousin Luke holding a large bouquet of red tulips looking right at him. “I was wonderin’ when you’d show up cousin, I’ve been waiting back here for near a half hour. I thought you may have gotten lost on your way back, or forgot about what’s happenin’ tonight.” “Cute Luke, real cute.” Luke chuckled, passed over the bouquet and gave his little cousin a hug. He then pulled back from the embrace but left his hand on Bo’s shoulder. “All jokin’ aside, I’m real proud of you cousin. I never thought this day would ever come. You and I have been so close for so long. You are more than just a cousin to me. You are my brother and I love ya. Bo, I’m glad you finally found the perfect lady for you. Break a leg out there brother.” He then lightly punched Bo in the shoulder “Now go and get her.” Bo looked at his cousin with a tear in his eye. “I love ya too.” Not knowing what else to say he said, “Thanks Luke.” and turned and left the men’s room bringing the bouquet out with him. Luke followed right behind Bo. Bo didn’t go strait to Mindy Sue’s table but took a detour to Uncle Jesse’s. Luke sat down with their Uncle and Bo stood at Jesse’s side. Jesse met eyes with his youngest nephew and then smiled. “Well now, look who it is.” “Hi Uncle Jesse.” “My little Bo. Look atcha. I never thought I’d live to see this day. You finally found that someone for ya ta settle down with. A little word of advice from this old coot afore you go and get her. Once you have her, always cherish her. It don’t matter what you have on the outside in worldly possessions, the only important thing is your love for each other. Everything else will work out one way or another. I hope of all things I taught ya, that this one will stick. Bo, now it looks as though she’s waiting fer someone. Better go and get her ‘fore she walks away. But first git over here and give your Uncle a hug” “Yes sir.” Bo smiled at Jesse and gave him a nice long hug. After they pull apart, Jesse reached to the table and turned back to Bo holding a plate of strawberries and two dishes, one filled with liquid chocolate and the other filled with whipped cream. “Oh and Bo, you might want these.” He said handing the plate over to the tall blonde with a wink. “Thanks Uncle Jesse.” With one last smile he turned away from his Uncle and older cousin and walked over to the table where Mindy Sue and Daisy have been talking and stood just behind Mindy. By the smiles and giggles coming from the two ladies, Bo knew that they had been talking about the afternoon he and Mindy spent together. He rolled his eyes and grinned. He also caught Daisy’s attention. She smiled and winked back at him and quickly made and excuse and left the table. She made her way back over to Uncle Jesse’s table. Bo glanced over at his family who were all watching him with smiles and encouraging looks on their faces. He smiled one more time at them and then leaned over and softly placed a kiss on Mindy Sue’s neck to get her attention because his hands were full. “Hey there darlin’.” Bo brought the bouquet of flowers down to the view of Mindy Sue. She gasps in surprise. “Tulips. You got me tulips. Red ones at that. They’re my favorite. You are so sweet Bo. Oh and look there’s a vase we can put them in.” Bo stepped around the table and sat in the chair that was facing Mindy Sue. He held the plate behind his back. She pulled the tulips out of the plastic covering and arranged them nicely in the vase. “Will you look at that? You’re right. I woulda never guessed.” “Oh stop kidding me. I know you planned that.” Bo chuckled, “Yeah. I know you know I planned it. And you know what else I planned?” “What else did you plan?” “Mindy Sue, are you ready for ‘dip’ number two?” Bo asked as he brought the plate from behind his back. The dishes holding the cream and chocolate glistened as they came into the light as Bo set them on the table. “Oh Bo you are too good to me, you got me two of my most favorite things all in one night. You didn’t have to.” He kissed her gently. “I wanted to.” Mindy Sue and Bo spent a few minutes there at the table feeding one another. Bo picked up a strawberry and dipped it in the chocolate and delicately placed it in Mindy Sue’s mouth making sure nothing dripped on her. She picked up another strawberry and dipped it in the whipped cream and then the chocolate. On the way to Bo’s mouth a little bit of chocolate dripped and landed on his pants. They both laughed as Bo cleaned up that little mess. From the other side of the room Uncle Jesse, Luke, and Daisy all laughed and smiled as well. When most of the strawberries were gone Bo stood up and pulled out Mindy Sue’s chair for her and then offered his hand. “Come my lady, let’s dance.” Taking his hand she said, “Of course my dear prince.” and let herself be led to the dance floor by the jukebox. The two of them danced several fast songs that were playing. At the end of one song Bo dipped her low and then back up with a twirl. “Dip number three.” He said with a wink. Bo then pulled out a quarter. He raised her hand up to his lips and kissed it. “Wait here for just a minute darlin’, I have a special song I’d like ya ta hear” and went to the Jukebox. He flipped the pages of song choices until he found just the one he was looking for and then plopped the quarter into the machine. While the switches and dials moved, Bo swiftly went back to his lady and took her hands placing one on his shoulder and leaving the other in his own. Bo placed his other hand on her waist just as the first few notes of the John Denver song began to play. As the lyrics began, he slowly but gracefully began to move his feet and lead Mindy Sue in a dance. You fill up my senses Like a night in the forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again Bo made eye contact with Mindy Sue and gently kissed her and then began to sing in his very beautiful baritone voice while he continued to dance, gazing into her eyes. Come let me love you Let me give my life to you Let me drown in your laughter Let me die in your arms Let me lay down beside you Let me always be with you Come let me love you Come love me again Tears filled Bo’s eyes. He looked intently in her eyes and sang past the lump in his throat. Let me give my life to you Come let me love you Come love me again You fill up my senses Like a night in the forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again As the song finished, a hushed silence filled the Boars Nest. All had stopped their conversations and were watching the couple in the center of the room. Bo took both of Mindy Sue’s hands in his and spoke from the heart gazing into her eyes. “Mindy Sue, you are my light and my life. I love you with all of my being. You complete me. I don’t know who or where I’d be if I hadn’t met you. You are the love of my life, and I couldn’t go on if I never asked you this one little question.” Bo reached down to his pocket and pulled out a little black box. He flipped open the box as he went down on one knee and held it up. The diamond on the band twinkled as it hit the light. “Melinda Sue Taylor, Will you marry me?” Ya know, I reckon that’s the fourth dip he was talkin’ about. |

Alright, here is the next chapter. There are a couple Smallville reference regarding names. Enjoy
:D --------------------------------------------- “Melinda Sue Taylor, will you marry me?” As Bo descended to his knee, Mindy Sue inwardly thought to herself ‘It’s about time Bo Duke. I’ve wanted you to do this from the moment I met you.’ She gazed down into his baby blue eyes that twinkled at her, and then smiled her warm smile. She launched herself forward into his arms that he had just opened at her smile, and gave him a colossal hug. “Yes Bo, with all my heart I will marry you.” With that said he stood up and held her close. Bo plucked the ring from its little box, took her left hand and slid the delicate band on her finger. He placed his hand on the back of Mindy Sue’s head, entwining his fingers into her auburn hair. They then both leaned in together and gave the tenderest and most love filled kiss either of them had ever shared. The applause and cheers that had erupted from those in the Boars Nest were unheard by them. They were totally encompassed by the feelings of unconditional love. They were lost in their love for each other through that tender kiss. The people in the Boars Nest had quieted and started back into their own conversations (which were now centered on the engagement of Bo and Mindy Sue) before they ended their kiss. When they finally pulled out of their reverie, Bo lifted his fiancé’s hand to his lips and kissed every finger. She giggled and said. “I love you Bo Duke. I can’t wait for the day when I become Mindy Sue Duke.” “I love you Mindy Sue, in my eyes you already are a Duke. You are my Duke.” They held hands as they walked off of the dance floor and over to Uncle Jesse’s table. Luke, Daisy and Uncle Jesse all stood up at the couple’s approach. Daisy pitched herself forward and hugged both Bo and Mindy Sue. “Oh Bo, oh Mindy Sue, this is so exciting. You get to me my cousin too isn’t that wonderful. Welcome to the family Sugar.” “It’s incredible Daisy. I feel like you’re my cousin already, and thank you.” “Hey, Bo.” “Yeah, Luke?” “Congratulations cousin. I am really proud of you and what you’ve done tonight. That was real well done.” “Aww, thanks Luke.” Jesse watched happily as Daisy welcomed Mindy Sue into the family and as Luke congratulated his cousin. Jesse cleared his throat and made himself known because he wanted to say something to the both of them as well. “Bo. Mindy Sue.” Both Bo and Mindy Sue turned towards Uncle Jesse. Bo’s hand rested on Mindy Sue’s far shoulder. “Yes Uncle Jesse.” “You don’t know how proud I am of the both o’ ya today. I’ve not felt this much joy since before my beloved Martha passed away. You remind me a lot of my Martha, Mindy Sue. I love ya like you was my own daughter.” Jesse turned his eyes toward Bo and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Your father, my brother, Jonathan would be proud of ya Bo. He’d be proud of the man you’ve become. I love you Bo. I love you like you was my own son. You and Mindy Sue, have my love and my blessing wherever you two may go. Bo and gave his uncle a hug and wiped away a tear. “Thank you Jesse.” After a minute, he pulled away and asked, “What do you mean ‘wherever we may go’ Uncle Jesse?” “Well Bo, I found these two certain letters this afternoon, that two certain people have been waiting fer for a while. These two certain letters have a certain stamp of a certain school that these two certain people applied for, and judgin’ from the thickness of them letters, I’m pretty certain they ain’t rejectin’ those two certain people. Uncle Jesse reached from beneath his chair and pulled out two thick envelopes that have the Metropolis University logo on them and gave them to the two very happy, recently betrothed couple. The tall blonde Duke said “They came?! Thanks Uncle Jesse” and then proceeded to open his letter and read the first bit aloud. “‘Dear Mister Bo Duke. The applications and admissions office have carefully reviewed you’re your transcript and application. We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Metropolis University.’ Uncle Jesse I made it!” Mindy Sue looked up from the letter she had opened as well. “I made it too.” “We both made it!” Bo leaned over and left a kiss on Mindy Sue’s cheek. “We did it darlin’.” Daisy ran forward and gave the both of them a big hug. “Congratulations to the both of ya for both getting engaged and also getting inta school. I’m so proud of y’all, this is cause for a celebration.” Uncle Jesse laughed proudly “Yes it is Daisy. Alright, we’ll have a party. ” “YEEHAW!” So the Duke family all got up and went back to the Duke farm and planned for a big party the next day. When all the planning was done, Bo escorted Mindy Sue home. At the door they spent just another minute together, Bo held Mindy Sue in his arms. “Bo, tonight was amazing. Thank you for making my perfect dream proposal a reality. Everything feels so right, right now. I never want this to change.” “It’ll never have to. I’ll always be here for you. I’ll always be with you. We’ll be together forever as husband and wife.” “I like the sound of that. Well I better get in for the night. I love you Bo.” “I love you too Mindy Sue.” Bo held her tight, left on her lips a soft sweet kiss. “Have a good night’s rest sweetheart.” And then let her go. She then squeezed his hand and then walked through the front door and shut it with a “Goodnight Bo, I love you,” a smile, and a blown kiss. The next morning bright and early, Bo and Luke got all the chores done so that the rest of the day would be open for preparing for that evening. Daisy made calls to the family’s friends and got to some cooking and baking for the party. Bo and Mindy Sue helped clean up and decorate the house. Luke helped Uncle Jesse with the farm which let Bo and Mindy Sue have a little time to their own in the afternoon before the party got started. The young couple went for a walk on the Duke farm’s back forty where they sat in the shade of a tree and talked and relaxed. They talked about where they wanted to get married and when. They agreed that they would get married back in Hazzard after their first year at MetU so that they would have the time to be able to prepare properly for it, after all the semester did start in only a few weeks. They also decided that they would drive up there rather than take an airplane. Bo decided he would let Luke keep the General Lee while they were gone. They’d take a different car. When Bo heard the first few notes of “Dixie” coming from the General, he knew Luke was saying they should get back to the house. People were arriving. So Mindy Sue and Bo walked back holding hands chatting about nothing in particular. When they reached the house, Bo opened the door and came face to face with Cooter Davenport. Crazy Cooter was the town mechanic, he also happened to be one of Bo’s closest friends. “Hey there Cooter.” Cooter who was wearing a clean shirt for once slapped Bo on the back and pulled him into a hug. “This is finally happenin’. I just cain’t believe it. Congratulations buddyro.” “Thanks Cooter.” Bo, Mindy Sue, and Cooter went inside and visited. The couple visited with Mindy Sue’s parents, and the few other guests who were inside as well. Many more people came streaming into the Duke residence. Childhood friends like deputy Enos Strait, friends from their high schools, friends from the NASCAR circuit, and other friends all came to congratulate Mindy Sue and Bo. By the end of the afternoon, at least half of Hazzard County (many who had heard about it through the gossip grapevine) had come to wish well to the happy couple in their engagement and their acceptance into such a good school. Even the crooked sheriff, Rosco P. Coltrane, who liked to chase the Dukes for no good reason, made an appearance. “Well hello there Rosco.” “Well hello yourself Bo. You’re lucky I ain’t gonna nail ya for disturbin’ the peace.” “Whadaya mean ‘disturbin’ the peace?” Rosco. I haven’t done anythin’.” “Hush Bo I didn’t come here to argue. I came here to uhmm… well I just came here to wish you two luck.” “Well thank you Rosco, that’s really sweet of you.” “No problem Mindy Sue. Well uh, Boss Hogg has somethin’ for me to do… uhh somewhere else so… good luck. I’m gone.” “Bye Rosco, thanks for stoppin’ by.” The party went on until the evening. At the very end when most of the people had filtered out, Uncle Jesse went out to the barn and came out with a jug of his famous moonshine whisky for the family and their closest friends. He poured out glasses, handed them out and then raised his own glass for a toast. The rest of the glasses soon followed his into the air. “To the two lovebirds, my nephew Bo and soon to be niece Mindy Sue. May you continue to love each other as much as we love ya and even more. ‘Til we can all come back here next year and celebrate your wedding and a year of fancy learnin.’” All in attendance agreed and toasted to their health. Several toasts, shouts of approval, and a few yeehaw’s later, Bo and Mindy Sue managed to sneak out to the swing so they could spend a few minutes to themselves. They settled down together and cuddled with their arms wrapped around each other. “I love you Mindy Sue. I don’t think I could handle this next adventure into schoolin’ by myself, but I definitely know I will be able to handle it for sure because you’ll be there with me.” “I love you Bo. We’ll tackle this adventure together as a family.” “Yeah. As family.” When the guests all left, they found Bo and Mindy Sue asleep on the swing with Mindy Sue’s head safely snuggled into Bo’s chest, and Bo’s head lightly leaning against hers. His arms wrapped around her in a loving protective embrace. Uncle Jesse came out a bit later and found them in that same position. He took a moment to admire how good they looked together. He noticed the slight smile on both their lips as they slept, and smiled remembering those times he did the same thing with his late wife Martha. Jesse wiped a tear from his eye and retrieved a blanket from inside the house. He brought it out and covered the two of them carefully with it and gently placed a kiss on each of their heads. He whispered, “I love you two. Goodnight kids.” And then went back inside leaving Bo and Mindy Sue holding each other in blissful slumber swinging in the breeze. Ain’t that just a perfect way to end such a beautiful day? |

Allright, here's the next chapter. I hope you all enjoy it
:D ---------------------------- The next three weeks went by in a flash. Bo and Mindy Sue spent much of those three weeks packing and getting ready to be away from home. Neither had been away from Hazzard for a very long period of time before, so they weren’t quite sure what to expect or what to pack. Only a few days remained before Bo and Mindy Sue’s journey to Kansas, when Bo bought a car off of Cooter for him and Mindy Sue to drive up to Metropolis together in. Bo spent a lot of extra time working on the farm during those few weeks because he felt a little guilty about leaving all the work to Jesse and Luke. Uncle Jesse argued with him for the millionth time on, Bo’s last day in Hazzard while out in the field. “Bo, stop feelin’ guilty. You don’t know how proud I am of ya getting’ inta college, not just any college, but a real good one. You don’t need to worry about the farm, Luke an’ I have got it all taken care of this season. Bo, you just need ta get out there in Kansas, try hard, do yer best, then come back so ya can get married here at home good and proper.” “I know that Uncle Jesse, I still just can’t help but feel guilty about leavin’ you and Luke just before harvest season.” “Bo, how many times do I have ta tell ya? We’ll be fine. You need ta stop frettin’ about the harvest and start spending yer time on Mindy Sue, and on school, and the weddin’.” Bo smiled a goofy love struck grin at the though of his fiancé and marriage in the same sentence. “Yeah, I guess you’re right. I wouldn’t be a Duke if I didn’t take good care of my beautiful girl now that I got her.” “That’s right Bo. You done good. You found a girl that’d make all the Dukes proud, and got inta school which would make ‘em even prouder. Now Bo, I want ya ta drop that hoe and get inside and take care o’ Mindy Sue, and not worry any more about this here farm anymore.” “But-” “No buts, now git!” “Bu-” “Git!” “Yes sir.” Bo finally relented and did what his uncle said. He put away his hoe and went inside. After graciously accepting a glass of lemonade offered by Daisy and chugging the entire thing plus a second glass, Bo washed his face and spent a nice afternoon with Mindy Sue and Daisy putting the finishing touches on their packing and stuffing their suitcases in the car. Later in the afternoon, Luke and Jesse joined the three back at the house after they finished with the farm work. Uncle Jesse made his famous crawdad bisque for supper, and then they all spent the evening in the family room talking, and playing games upon games of checkers. They played and chatted deep into the night mainly because they enjoyed each other’s company and didn’t want it to end. They knew that it was their last evening together so they made it last. Finally after that last game of checkers of many, Bo yawned and checked the time. He saw that it was really late, so he stood up and kissed Mindy Sue’s hand. “’s late, I better take you home Mindy Sue. We got a big day tomorrow and we probably should get some rest ‘cause we have an early start.” “Alright Bo. Goodnight everyone, I’ll see ya’ll in the mornin’.” The rest of the Dukes all wished her a goodnight and then Bo took her out to the car and drove Mindy Sue back home. Once she was delivered, Bo came back and then went to bed himself. Bo was bushed, but couldn’t sleep. For the longest time he just laid in his bed just thinking about his life in Hazzard. Bo thought of when he was younger and missed Luke when he went off to the War in the marines. He thought of that fateful day when him and Luke got caught running moonshine and had to serve probation. He remembered the day, not six months ago, when that same probation was lifted. What a great day that was. Uncle Jesse brought out a jug of his last batch of shine for a get together with the Duke family and Cooter. Bo then thought of the day he first set eyes on Mindy Sue. She had been a quiet introvert on the other side of Hazzard who didn’t get out much. They accidentally bumped into each other while in the post office. He saw the size of her package and asked if he could help her. Bo carried her enormous package home for her and they hit their relationship off from there. A smile danced across his as so many fond memories of Hazzard drifted through his head. A last thought of his proposal and Mindy Sue’s acceptance flitted across his mind before Bo finally drifted into his last sound slumber in Hazzard that he’d have for a long time. The rooster crowed which woke the Duke family from their rest. The day had finally come. Bo and Mindy Sue were leaving that day so that they’d get to campus in time for the start of classes. That morning Daisy whipped up a huge breakfast with all of Bo’s favorites. Mindy Sue came over to the Duke’s after saying goodbye to her own family and shared that nice meal with her soon to be family. After breakfast there was some last minute packing and getting stuff into the car. Finally all was set and ready to go and all the Dukes went out to the front of the house and to the car. “So yer all packed and ready ta go? Did ya forget anything?” “Yes we are Uncle Jesse. An’ I don’t think I forgot anythin’.” “You forgot one thing Bo.” “What did I forget Daisy?” “You forgot ta give us a hug goodbye.” Bo immediately went up and gave his cousin a big hug and a kiss on the head. “How could I have forgotten that? I’m gonna miss ya Daisy.” “Me too Sugar.” Daisy gave Mindy Sue a great big hug. “Don’t forget ta call when ya get there honey, and make sure ya call so we can get some weddin’ arrangements goin’.” She giggled back to Daisy, “Don’t worry, I won’t.” Both Bo and Mindy Sue went and hugged Uncle Jesse. “Be careful out there Bo, and drive safe.” “Don’t worry, I will Uncle Jesse.” Finally Bo went over to Luke who was standing near the General Lee and gave him a guy hug, smacking him hard on the back. “Take care of the General when I’m away cousin.” “You bet I will. I’m gonna follow ya in ‘im ‘til we reach the state line. Yer on yer own after that.” “Alright! Thanks Luke.” So Bo and Mindy Sue got in their car and Luke got in the General and then they were off with a “Yeehaw!” Luke pressed the horn letting “Dixie” play as they left the Duke farm in a cloud of dust. Jesse whispered after the cloud had settled, “Good luck.” And then went back inside with his arm around Daisy. Mindy Sue and Bo smiled as they passed all the places in Hazzard they remembered having fun in. They laughed when they passed a certain spot where a particular incident of pestering Rosco and getting away with it had happened. Speaking of Rosco, flashy lights and a siren could be heard coming from behind the two cars. Bo picked up the CB radio and spoke to both Mindy Sue and Luke. “Hey, it looks like we got company.” “It’s Rosco.” Luke replied. “Yeah no kiddin’. Who do ya think tipped him off that we were leavin’ t’day?. I’d bet he wants ta nail us for one last thing before we’re gone.” “That’d be my guess too. I don’t know how he did it, but let’s not let ‘im catch us. We’re near the state line anyways, it’d drive him nuts once we cross it and he can’t do anythin’. Both Mindy Sue and Bo laughed, “Yeah you’re right.” Bo pressed his foot on the accelerator just a little bit harder. The General Lee’s powerful engine could be heard speeding up as well. They sped past a sharp turn and Bo put his car on two wheels. When they landed on all fours again, Sheriff Rosco’s giggle could be heard over the CB. “This is Rosco P. Coltrane. Bo Duke I got ya! Pull over right now.” “Rosco, we haven’t done anything, Why are ya chasin us?” “I’m chase ya cause I can Bo Duke, and I’ll get ya fer crossin’ the state line.” “We ain’t on probation anymore, we can cross the line any time we want. Oh and Rosco, Mindy Sue and I are goin’ ta school so ya ain’t gonna see us for a while, so take a good look at our tail lights. Ya ain’t gonna see those again any time soon, I know you’re gonna miss seein’ those.” “I’ll get ya fer speedin’ then!” He yelled into the CB with another unique giggle. Just then Bo sped past the state line and Luke sent the notes of “Dixie” into the air again before screeching to a stop. “Bye Bye Rosco.” The blonde called into his CB. Rosco stopped his police cruiser at the state line. He shook his fist at the retreating car. “Oh…. You… you get outta here Bo Duke! ‘n’ good riddance.” Luke laughed “Good luck cousin, I’ll see ya when ya get back. Glancing over his shoulder he smiled back at his cousin and at Hazzard “See ya soon Luke.” And then drove off into the distance with Mindy Sue in hand, leaving a cloud of dust in their wake. Little did Bo know that that “soon” would be a lot longer than he thought. |

Thanks Carrie and you too Life'Magic. I finally have the next chapter done. I hope you and everyone else enjoy it. --------------------------- Bo and Mindy Sue took their time driving all that day. They had decided that they would take the trip in two legs. They’d drive until evening and stop somewhere in Arkansas for the night. So that is precisely what they did. Bo would drive for a couple of hours and then Mindy Sue would take a turn. That went on all day so that neither of them would get too tired. The drive took long, but they made it so that it wasn’t so hard. Mindy Sue and Bo didn’t rush, and really enjoyed themselves and the scenery during their drive. They stopped several times at scenic spots where they saw many of the beautiful sights of nature in the central part of the U.S. of A. At those scenic spots, Bo never ceased to also take the moment to show just how much he loved his fiancé, and Mindy Sue would do the same for Bo. They shared many a hug, kiss, nuzzle, and cuddle. That evening after about eight hours of driving, Bo and Mindy Sue stopped at a cheap motel in Little Rock, Arkansas for the night. They had fun talking and swimming for hours in the motel pool. Mindy Sue hopped out of the pool and faced Bo who was currently in the pool near her. She smiled sweetly but there was a mischievous glint to her eye “Hey Bo.” “Yeah Mindy Sue?” Mindy Sue landed a huge splash from a cannonball right in Bo’s face. “You’re wet, and I love ya.” She said with a laugh and a wet kiss to the soggy blonde Duke boy. Bo joined in the laugh and embraced his fair skinned red haired fiancé. “I love ya too. There isn’t anything in the world that could take me away from you.” A little later after more splashing and playing in the pool, the couple made it to the hot tub. While soaking in the warm water and bubbles, they recalled some of their happy memories in Hazzard. They each then told each other how exited they were to create new happy memories in Metropolis and wherever else they might go in the future. That night they slept together snuggled in each other’s arms. Bo heard the soft sound of Mindy Sue’s breathing and knew that she was sound asleep. He gave her yet another gentle kiss and then whispered “I’ll never find anyone I love more than you. You’re the only one for me.” Before he fell asleep. Bo and Mindy Sue slept in late, well later than they did back at the farm, the next morning. Eventually the couple got up and had a bit of the complimentary breakfast before heading out for the rest of the drive around 9:00. With them driving steady and quickly, Bo and Mindy Sue made lots of progress. They made it across the rest of Arkansas and into Kansas quickly. At the rate they were going, they would be able to get to Metropolis by around seven that night. It was already about four o clock when they neared a small town. They passed the “Welcome” sign. “Smallville? What sort of name is that?” “Apparently, it’s one for a small town Mindy Sue. I kind of like that name. It seems good for this part of the country. There is good land here from what I can see, and it feels a little like home.” “Yeah I guess so. I would just hope they don’t have a Boss Hogg or Sheriff Rosco here. I’m sure these people have a much simpler without them. ” They both chuckled and looked around as they passed Smallville on the highway. Soon after Bo and Mindy Sue drove by, they started to see signs for the city of Metropolis. Another hour passed on the drive when they passed another sign. Bo leaned over from the wheel and left a kiss on her head, and then left another on her neck. “Only another hour Mindy Sue, we’re almost there darlin’.” “It’s been a wonderful drive, especially when you’ve been at the whee- Watch out Bo!” The moment Bo gave Mindy Sue a kiss, a deer darted across the road. At Mindy Sue’s yell Bo quickly put both hands to the wheel, faced the obstacle, and with lightning speed reflexes swerved to the side. With that swerve though there was only one problem that the Duke boy didn’t see. There was a hidden ditch in which the right tires hit. From the moment the tires fell into the ditch, the car tipped and rolled over completely, the roof crunched in, and then the momentum of the spin made the car smash into a tree on the driver’s side. The sudden stop made both the occupants of the car whiplash banging their heads on the front wheel and dashboard, and whip back with them hitting badly on their headrests. That don’t look too good, what a horrendous crash Bo ain’t lookin’ too good. Both Mindy Sue and Bo got knocked out from hitting their heads. Bo was splayed across the steering wheel and Mindy Sue slumped in her seat. Both had blood trickling down the side of their faces and head. A few minutes after the crash, Mindy Sue stirred and opened her eyes. Several emotions filled her eyes as she became conscious, pain, then confusion, and then sickness. She opened her side door and ran out into the bushes where she promptly lost her lunch. With all the contents of her stomach gone she collapsed to the ground and passed out hidden behind the bushes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A lean and muscular man was on his way back to Smallville. He had suntanned cheeks and sun bleached blonde locks atop his head. This man’s name was Hyrum Kent. Hyrum was a farmer, and he was returning from a trip to Metropolis with a part for his broken down tractor. After getting the part for his tractor, Mr. Kent took it easy as he drove home. Hyrum always enjoyed the two hour drive between Metropolis and Smallville. Hardly anyone was ever on the roads, which made it always a peaceful drive. He took a deep breath in of the fresh country air and looked off to the side of the road. Suddenly things didn’t look quite so peaceful anymore. Hyrum saw skid marks on the road and then some scuffed up bushes. Hyrum had an uneasy feeling in his stomach that someone might be hurt, so he stopped his car and got out to investigate. He grabbed a first aid kit and his pocket knife from his car and followed the crushed sagebrush. It didn’t take Hyrum long for him to find a badly dented broken looking car smashed into a tree. It also didn’t take long for him to realize that someone was behind the steering wheel. Hyrum quickly made it to the car and opened the passenger side door because the tree blocked the driver side. Bo was still unconscious with his head against the steering wheel. Hyrum saw the blood trickling from Bo’s head. That worried him. “Son, can you hear me? Are you awake, can you answer me?” With no answer coming from the young man other than a small moan, Hyrum immediately decided to get him out of there. He got into the empty front seat and gently began the arduous task of pulling the unconscious Bo out of the badly crumpled driver’s seat. Hyrum with gentle hands soon had Bo out of the tangled mess that was once a car and lying on the ground beside it. After running back to his truck, Hyrum came back with a bottle of water and an old rag. Hyrum wet the rag and dribbled a few drops into Bo’s mouth. He then took the damp rag and began cleaning up the numerous injuries on the young man’s head and face. He held the boy’s head off the ground and then noticed a nasty wound on the back of his head. Mr. Kent winced as he saw the damage “Oh that must have hurt.” And then began to clean the injury. At the sound of someone’s voice, Bo began to stir. Hyrum immediately noticed the young man’s movement and decided to take action. “Son, can you hear me? Everything’s going to be okay. Son, can you tell me your name?” Bo’s eyes slowly opened and he took in his surroundings. He was very confused; he didn’t know where he was, or why he was on the ground and why he wasn’t dead. Bo didn’t know why he thought he should be dead, but he did. Or wait, was he dead? Bo was so perplexed, he wasn’t sure who the guy was that had his head in his lap, he wasn’t even sure what his own name was. Bo finally looked up into the kind eyes of the blonde man above him. He saw something in them that reminded him of someone…but who? “D…Daddy?” Bo quietly asked. Hyrum didn’t have time to answer before Bo’s eyes quickly shut as a shot of pain coursed through his body from the exertion of speaking. Bo’s face contorted with pain and then his body went limp as he blacked out again. Hyrum Kent looked down at the young blonde and decided to take him home for some help. Smallville was closest to where they were anyways, and he knew that his wife Katie would know how to take care of the boy’s injuries. “Son, I’m not sure who you are, but I’m taking you home so that you’ll get better.” Hyrum gently placed Bo’s head down and then went back to his truck. He drove his truck as close as he could to the injured young man. Hyrum then gently picked up the unconscious Bo and got him into the car without too much trouble or injuring him further. “Now, to get you home.” Hyrum said as he got the truck, beginning a slow journey back to his farmhouse in Smallville. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mindy Sue awoke as she heard the sound of an engine come to life and drift away. She sat up looked around at her surroundings and vaguely remembered running from… somewhere over to the left, and from the smell coming from the bush she was next to, remembered tossing her cookies. Other than that, she wasn’t sure of anything except for pain in the back of her head. ‘Where did I come from… wait what’s my name and why am I out in the woods with a huge bump on the back of my head? ’ She thought. Mindy Sue decided that she would go back the way she thought she came, to the left and see what she could find. It was the best place to start trying to figure out why she couldn’t remember anything. Mindy Sue slowly got to her feet and held on to a nearby tree as a wave of dizziness hit her. She placed her other hand on the back of her head. When she pulled it away she saw blood. “Oh dear, that’s not good.” Mindy Sue pulled a piece of cloth out of her pocket and placed it on the back of her head to stop the bleeding and clean it up. She then gradually made her way back through the bushes. It didn’t take her long to find the crumpled up car around a tree. She gasped when she saw that she had come from in there. She couldn’t believe that she got off as good as she did when she thought she was the driver. ‘Wait, was I driving? Was there anyone else in there?’ She couldn’t remember. “Nobody is there now… I must have been alone.” Mindy Sue took another good look at the wreck, and still couldn’t remember where she was coming from or where she was going. She finally decided that she should get back to the road and walk to get some help so that’s exactly what she did, at least she did until she passed out again by the side of the road. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Clark was returning from a business trip from a little town called Smallville. He was a lawyer, and the trip he was returning from had him take care of a little problem with a corn factory. Luckily he got finished early and got to head home before nightfall. When Jim was about an hour away from his home town of Metropolis, he spotted skid marks but didn’t think anything of it. There were always skid marks on the roads back in the city. Only a minute later he saw something abnormal on the side of the road. There was a young lady on the ground. Mr. Clark screeched to a stop and got out to see what happened to her and if she was alright. He approached her. “Miss, are you alright? When she didn’t answer, Jim looked and saw that she was breathing and then felt for her pulse. He was very glad when he found one. “Good, you have a strong pulse.” Jim looked over her for injuries and spotted some scrapes, and then he saw the injury on the back of her head. Oh you’ve got a nasty bump on the head.” Mr. Clark decided that he couldn’t leave her out here so he would take her back home with him. Her injuries didn’t look too bad and he knew that his wife would nurse her back to complete health. “Miss, I’m going to take you home. My wife will help you get better.” Minutes later, Jim’s car had an extra passenger in it and they were quickly on their way back to his home in the city. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About an hour later, two men each brought a hurt individual back to their wives. Their wives’ maternal instincts instantly kicked in and they each took the injured in as their own. Both women took it as their direct responsibility to get the young ones on their feet back to perfect health. They bandaged their wounds, and got them into bed and prepared themselves for when their wounded friends would wake up. Now don’t ya just love neighborly people? I wonder just what’s gonna happen when Bo an’ Mindy Sue wake up. We’ll just have ta wait an’ see. Stick ‘round y’all. |

Thanks Carrie. Now here's the next chapter, enjoy ----------------------------------- The light of the early morning crept into the bedroom window of the yellow farmhouse. The sounds of the farm waking up never disturbed the young man in the bed sleeping. It was the fantastic smells breakfast filtering into the room that brought the blonde boy from his dreamless slumber. The young blonde’s nose twitched as he smelled bacon, eggs, and pancakes, and perhaps sausage in the air. His mind slowly came into consciousness when his stomach growled on its own accord. “Oh stomach, be quiet, I’m trying to sleep.” Despite his efforts at trying to sleep some more, the delicious smells just wouldn’t let his stomach be, so he peeked open his baby blue eyes. When the blonde’s eyes focused, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling. He took a look around the room and didn’t recognize anything. He didn’t know this room, and he didn’t know the farm he saw when he looked out the window. “Where am I?” He took another look around the room and spotted a yellow and a blue shirt folded on the chair beside the desk. They didn’t look familiar either, and yet he thought that they must be his. The young blonde slowly got out of the bed and pulled on the blue shirt after taking it from the chair. The back of his head ached as the fabric touched it. He winced and placed his hand over the offending pain. He could feel a soft bandage over it. “I must have gotten hurt, someone must have helped me.” At the thought that he may have been hurt, he suddenly could feel pain all over his body. He looked and saw a mirror by the dresser and looked at his reflection. His face was scraped up, and had a big bruise on his forehead, not to mention his shoulder ached. “Ouch…” The young man put his other shirt on and decided that he better go and feed his stomach, it would not keep quiet and those glorious smells weren’t helping any. He cautiously opened his door and made his way down the stairs. As he got to the landing, he could see the kitchen. There was a well built blonde man sitting at the table drinking orange juice, and eating a plate of eggs and bacon. He could tell that that man was a farmer, he had that certain tan that only people who work out in the field every day have. He was talking with a lovely looking brunette he assumed would be his wife. She had blue eyes and a beautiful smile that he could see. He noticed that they were talking about a young man, and assumed it was about himself. The young blonde walked into the kitchen and cleared his throat. The brunette turned and saw her injured charge. “Speaking of him, you’re awake!” She immediately went over to him and started looking over his injuries. “How are you feeling? I couldn’t tell if you had broken anything. I didn’t think so, so I bandaged you and put you to bed. Oh, silly me, you must be starving. Come here have a seat and have some breakfast. I made pancakes, bacon, and eggs. I hope you don’t mind them.” “Whoa, slow down sweetheart, let the man think.” The young blonde smiled as he was shooed into a chair at the table that had a plate with a huge stack of pancakes on it. “No, it’s alright. I don’t think I’ve broken anything…” His stomach made a loud gurgling noise. “…especially not my stomach.” The older blonde at the table laughed. “I think he’s going to be okay. Go on son, eat up. Katie’s pancakes are amazing.” “Thank you” He immediately poured some maple syrup on the stack, said a silent grace and then gobbled down. After a little while, he looked over at the farmer who was looking at him. He detected a slight uncomfortable silence and gave a little smile. “They’re good.” “I know they are. son, they’re the best in the state. So, I bet you’re wondering who we are just as much as we are wondering who you are. My name is Hyrum Kent, and this is my wife Katie.” “It’s good ta meet you folks Mr. and Mrs. Kent. I’m…. Uh... My name is… You know what? I can’t remember my name. In fact, I can’t remember anything other than waking up upstairs this morning.” Katie said “Oh dear. Well honey, you did take a nasty bump to the head in that car wreck.” “Car wreck? Would you mind telling me about what happened and how I got here?” “Well son, it was me who found you. I was driving home from Metropolis and I saw some skid marks on the road about an hour away from here. I got out of my truck and took a look. I found you unconscious at the wheel of a car that was wrapped around a tree. I couldn’t just leave you there. When I pulled you out, you came too for about a minute. You called me…” “Daddy…” “Yeah. ‘Daddy.’ I don’t know if that is true or not, but you remind me so much of the son we lost so long ago. His name was Jonathan.” “Jonathan… You know that name does sound sort of familiar. I think I’ve heard it before.” “Jonathan, could it be you?” Katie had him stand up, and then placed a hand on the side of his head and looked into his baby blue eyes. She could see the innocence and confusion in his eyes. He saw into her eyes the longing of a mother who misses her child. He saw kindness, love, and compassion. Katie saw in the young man the exact same twinkle and deepness in his eyes that her husband had. She knew of no other family that had that same quality. That little detail made up her mind. It had to be him. “My son. It is you!” Katie burst into tears and tackled the young man. “You came back to us Jonathan. You’re home.” He said through being squished in the humungous bear hug, “Uhh, I guess so. I… I’m home… Mom.” Hyrum stood up and came over to Jonathan and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Jonathan. Welcome home my son.” --------------------------------- The light of the early morning sun filtered into the room where a read head could be seen peeking out from under the blankets on the bed. The sounds of cars and honking horns pierced the room, and the young lady in the bed stirred. She opened her eyes and saw that she was in a bedroom of which was a part of a nice house, and that the house was in a big city. The young lady got out of bed and held her head. She had a nasty headache and a pain in the back of her head. She recalled waking up, feeling pain, seeing a wrecked car, and then walking down a highway, but nothing else. “Someone must have helped me.” She looked around and then put on the blouse she saw on the chair next to the bed. She definitely knew that someone had to have helped her, so she decided to go and thank her rescuer. The auburn haired young woman opened the bedroom door and cautiously went down the stairs hoping to find her hosts. She found the kitchen, and with it she found two people. There was a dark haired man in a suit and tie who had a briefcase at his heels sitting at the kitchen table. He was reading a copy of the Daily Planet and drinking a cup of coffee. On the other side of the kitchen was a woman. She was tall with sandy blonde hair and green eyes. The woman was making some eggs, but looked as though she was deep in thought. The young lady smiled and then walked into the kitchen. Instantly two sets of eyes came onto her. The woman at the stove turned off the heat and then spoke. “You’re awake. That’s good to hear. How are you feeling this morning?” “I have a headache, and I’m sore all over, but I think I’m alright.” “Why don’t you have a seat and have some breakfast, I just made some eggs.” “That sounds nice, thank you.” She took a seat next to the man who had returned to reading his paper. He turned the page and then folded it and looked strait at her. “I bet you’re wondering how you got here, and who I am.” “Yeah, that did go through my mind.” “My name is Jim Clark, and that beautiful woman getting you your eggs is my wife Anne. I’m a lawyer, and I was on my way home from a business meeting when I found you at the side of the road unconscious. Do you remember what happened before I found you?” “She shook her head slowly, “I remember waking up in the bushes, and then finding a car smashed into a tree. I think I was in the car, maybe driving the car when it crashed. I couldn’t do anything other than get to the road and start walking and hope to find some help. I must have passed out and then you found me.” Anne came over and placed a plate of scrambled eggs in front of the young lady. “You can’t remember anything else? Can you remember what your name is?” She shook her head. “I’m sorry, I can’t. I don’t remember anything else.” Our young lady picked up her fork and started eating some of the eggs. She looked around the kitchen and back at the two kind people sitting next to her. Anne made eye contact with Jim and they both nodded. A silent agreement had been made. Jim spoke both their minds. “Well sweetheart, you’re welcome to stay with us for as long as you like.” “Thank you Mr. Clark, Mrs. Clark.” Anne Clark smiled, “Well we can’t have you staying here as a Jane Do, we need to call you something. I was wondering if you like the name Martha.” “Martha Clark…. I like the name. I think I’ve heard the name Martha before and I like it.” “Well then Martha it is. Welcome to the family Martha.” “Thank you.” ------------------------------------ That same morning 1,000 miles away in a town called Hazzard, Jesse Duke woke to his big toe throbbing. Whenever his big toe acted up, trouble was a brewin.’ Little did he know that that twinge in his toe would stay there for a really long time. Jesse was worried because Bo and Mindy Sue never called to say they got into Metropolis safely. His toe told him that something had happened. He just didn’t know what, and wouldn’t know what happened for many more years. He just hoped that they were alright, and kept on hoping to hear from them each and every time the sun rose. |

Aww, this is such a good story! I love the Kents, although I'm a bit confused as to how they lost their son! At first I thought he must be dead, but then later they welcomed Bo as him ... so what happened? :scratchhead: I can't wait for the next part. :D |

Thanks you two. Carrie, I'm working on the next chapter at the moment, and I'll explain in it what happened. At first I wasn't going to but when you pointed out that bit of Jonathan lost was confusing, I decided I would. The chapter should be up in a day or two. |

Okay then, I have the newest chapter. I hope you all enjoy -------------------- A week passed and Jonathan healed from his injuries. He really became part of the Kent family. He was happy with the Kents, but he was a little annoyed that he couldn’t remember anything from before the accident. He didn’t let it bother him though. He kept himself busy so he wouldn’t think on it that much. He spent most of his time getting to know his mom and dad and learning how to work on his dad’s farm. Along with learning the farm, Jonathan also started learning about the Kent family. Hyrum and Katie filled him in on their family tree. He was the son of Hyrum Kent, and Katie Duke. At the name Duke, Jonathan thought a minute that it sounded familiar but then tossed it off thinking he probably only remembered it unconsciously about the name from when he was a child. Jonathan laughed when he heard that she had seven brothers and two sisters. “That’s a lot of family Mom” Katie agreed and added that she wasn’t necessarily close to many of them anymore but that she loved them all. During that first week with the Kents, Jonathan asked about what happened when he was young and how they had lost him. Hyrum explained that when he was a toddler, they went out on a camping trip with him. Katie remembered that he loved chasing butterflies and remembered little Jonathan chasing one while out in the country. Katie went on to say that she had taken her eyes off of him for only a minute but that was enough for him to get lost. They couldn’t find him. Hyrum finished by saying that they looked so hard and that they even had the police and friends and neighbors search everywhere. “We never were able to find you son, it broke out hearts. After a year, they…” Hyrum forced the lump in his throat to go away and wiped a tear. “They had you presumed dead.” Katie wiped away her own tears and gave her husband a tissue. “We never gave up hope. I just knew that you were alive. We knew that one day you’d come back to us.” “Well I’m home now, and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon.” “Good.” What Hyrum and Katie didn’t know about the day Jonathan went missing was that Katie’s brother Jonathan Duke was in that same area looking for his own son Bo who had also gotten lost. Jonathan found little Jonathan and thought it was Bo, (Those two little cousins looked as though they could be identical twins) and took him home. Soon thereafter Jonathan Duke and his wife Mary were in a car accident and died. Who everyone thought was Bo went to one of Jonathan and Katie’s many brothers, Jesse Duke who became his guardian. Unbeknownst to any of them, the real Bo Duke was found by some nice people and adopted into a loving family, and Hyrum and Katie were left alone to mourn for their lost son. Jonathan’s curiosity was quenched at all that information. Once in a while he went back and pondered on his past, but mostly he looked forward to the future with his family. Hyrum was incredibly excited that he had his son back and immediately taught him all about Smallville, the nearby area, and the Kent farm. He showed Jonathan all about the farm and how to care for it. After only a week, Jonathan was a pro at keeping up the farm. It came naturally. Hyrum thought that wherever Jonathan had been, whoever they were, were good people, and that they were most likely farmers. His son was a natural. One day months later, Hyrum saw Jonathan with his golden hair shining in the sun plowing the fields on the old tractor. There was a big smile on Jonathan’s face and a twinkle in his eye. Hyrum could tell in his heart that Jonathan loved the farm and would keep it up after he passed away. Jonathan truly was his son and he loved him. “That’s my boy.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weeks went by after Jim Clark had brought Martha home. Martha’s physical wounds all healed, but she still couldn’t remember her name or where she was from, but that didn’t seem to bug her. She liked the name Martha and was perfectly happy living with Jim and Anne Clark, and they likewise liked having Martha as a daughter. Martha enjoyed living in the city. It was exciting and lots of things happened. Martha in fact took taking a liking to following Anne around all day. Anne loved it and began to bring her to the Metropolis high class functions. She always introduced Martha to all those people as her daughter. Martha was thrilled that the Clarks thought of her that way. She immediately began calling them mom and dad. Hey Mom?” “Yes honey?” “Thank you for taking me in. I hope I’m being a good daughter to you and Dad.” “Of course you are sweetheart. We’re proud of you and we love you. We wouldn’t have even dreamed of throwing you out. You are much too special, and way too adorable.” Martha smiled and blushed. She loved hearing words of affirmation from others. She found comfort in it. She knew that wherever she came from that the people did the same thing, and she loved it. She just wished she could remember who it was who said those things to her and who she did the same thing back to before the accident. Martha loved her new dad. He loved her as well. He became very protective of her like she was his own daughter. Anything that went on in Martha’s life, Jim had to know. Martha hadn’t seen any young men since being under his roof, but Jim vowed that when the time came, he would not let his daughter date, let alone marry any sort of riffraff. When Martha first came into the home, Jim immediately noticed that she was really intelligent and positively bright. Like any dad who wants to keep the family business, he began to drop hints that he would like her to think about studying law and becoming a lawyer like him. She had the wit and strength of will, he thought she’d be perfect as one. The hinting started only a few short months after Martha first came to live with them. Martha sort of smiled whenever she caught the hints, which was often, and let her dad continue to drop them. She didn’t want to upset him, but she also didn’t want to become a lawyer. She didn’t know why but she just didn’t feel right about being part of the law system. “So, Martha, have you thought any more on what I’ve mentioned a few times?” “Yes Dad, I’m still thinking about it. You know what? I think I do want to go to school and do some learning. I’ll be able to really figure out what I really wanna do when I’m there.” “Alright then. Well honey, did you want to go to MetU?” Something in Martha remembered that she was on her way to that University at the time of the accident. She understood that feeling when it said that she had to go. “Yes Dad, I need to go to MetU.” “Well then lets get my little girl into Metropolis University” he said with a smile. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Months went by without a word from either Bo or Mindy Sue, and back in Hazzard County, everyone felt their missing presence. Luke especially. He missed his younger cousin dearly and didn’t know why Bo hadn’t called them. Luke could tell that something went wrong. Luke and Bo shared an almost psychic connection since they were kids growing up. They could always tell when the other was in danger and sometimes sense the other’s feelings. When Bo was traveling to Metropolis, Luke felt Bo in love and happiness but then in pain, and in confusion, and then nothing. Luke was confused. He couldn’t feel the link between them anymore. It was gone. Or it was gone most of the time. He feared the worse happened to Bo and prayed daily for his safety as did the rest of the Duke clan. The one good piece of news that came to the Duke farm during their time of sadness in not knowing where Bo was, was that another cousin that they thought was dead had been found. Jesse had gotten a call from his sister Katie. “Hey Luke, Daisy, you kids remember my mentioning your Aunt Katie once right? Well Katie and her husband lost a child many years ago, but he’s been found. Your cousin Jonathan is alive.” “Well that’s great Uncle Jesse.” “It is great. You’re right Daisy. Family is important and it’s good to hear happy news. I just wish that we could find other good news about that other cousin of ours though.” The Duke patriarch sighed, “I know Luke… I know. We all miss Bo, and Mindy Sue, we just need to trust that the Good Lord is protectin’ them.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One morning at the breakfast table, Jonathan looked a little preoccupied. He had hardly touched his food. Katie could tell that something was on his mind. “Jonathan, penny for your thoughts?” “Oh mom, I got this feeling that someone is worried about me, and also… that I need to be somewhere.” “Well. Your dad and I always worry about you and for your safety. That takes care of that first thing. Now where does this feeling say that you need to go?” “Mom, I think I need to go to college. I… I uh need to go to Metropolis University.” Katie thought for a minute. She figured that one day this would happen. Her little boy needed to go out and try to remember what happened before the accident. She trusted Jonathan. If he had a feeling like he needed to be somewhere, he should be there. She looked over to Hyrum and he nodded in approval because he was thinking the same thing. “Well Jonathan, if you need to go to MetU, well then we’ll get you into MetU.” “Yeehaw!” Bo smiled, got up and gave his mom and dad big kisses and then ran outside to get the chores done. Hyrum and Katie were a little startled at Jonathan’s reaction. They both sort of chuckled. Hyrum said “yeehaw?” Katie smiled and answered “That sounds like something my brother might teach his son. They live in the south.” They both sort of shrugged. “Well come on Hyrum lets get our son into school.” |
