This just sort of happened one day at work...I try not to fight these things!! And it is set two years ago.
~~~~~~~~~
Jeffery Grant Duke was tall, dark and handsome. His deep blue eyes sparkled brightly as he watched the race with the warm sun in his face. His smile was kind and friendly. He watched the deep orange stock car pull into the lead. His mother sat to the left of him, her hands covering her face. Her long blonde hair blowing around her face in the gentle breeze. She peeked her green eyes out from between her fingers, wanting to watch the race, but she was still fearful for her husband out on the track. Jeff's two younger twin brothers sat on his right. He'd always thought they looked more like their uncle then their father. They had fair hair and features. They were whooping and cheering. "Go Dad!!" Jesse shouted. "Yeah number one!!" Kevin hollered holding up one finger. Their sister, Stephanie, sat to the left of them. She was waving a rebel flag in the air as she watched the race, admiring all the cars. She was a perfect female clone of their father, her features striking, yet still femine. Jeff liked to tease her, one day she'd break all the boys hearts. She would tease back by saying he'd already broken the hearts of every girl in Hazzard County, twice over!
A reflection of the sun glimmered off the roof of the General Lee as it blew through the finish line. "C'mon Momma!! Let's go congratulate them!!" Jesse pleaded, his eyes sparkling brightly like his father's did. Anna smiled back her son and replied, "I think that's a fine idea!" She stood up and followed Jeff out to the asle. Jeff stopped, putting a hand on each of his little brothers shoulders. He spun them around, his darl blue eyes staring into theirs. "Jesse, Kevin, you stay behind me and in front of mom at all times. Got it?" he asked them with a smile. They nodded there heads in unison.
Jeff lead the way down to the track, followed by his sister. Who was pulling on the back of his red button-up shirt, "Jeff!! Oooh Jeff look!! There's a Challenger!! And a 'Stang!!" He sometimes wondered if his sister should have been a brother the way she talked about cars, she knew everything about a car, from the Carberator, to the driveshaft, to how to check AND replace the timing belt. Following Stephanie was Kevin, who was being poked in the ribs by Jesse. Until their mother had seperated them, taking both by the hand. Jeff was seven years older than his sister, she was two years older than the twins. He was eighteen, but not yet a man, in his mother's words, he had alot to learn.
They walked out on to the track were their Father and Uncle were sitting on the hood of their orange stock car, The General Lee. The General was the fastest car south of the Mason-Dixon line. It was a MANY times restored 1969 Dodge Charger. It was painted Hemi-Orange, the only color in the garage when they got it. Painted on the roof was a battle flag of the Confederate States of America. It represnted the Duke family's rebelion against "The System". The numbers Zero One were painted in black on both doors. Aww the doors, which were welded shut, meaning the only way in and out was through the windows.
His father smiled when he saw his family approaching. His deep blue eyes shone brightly when he smiled. All his childern had been given the same friendly blue eyes. Anna released Jesse and Kevin's hands and jogged over to her husband. "Congrats fellas!" She called stopping in front of her husband, she put a hand on her hip and frowned a little then hugged him tightly. "Do you like frightening your wife Luke Duke?" He looked at her his eyes sparkling as he smiled down at her, He nodded and replied, "I love it, because she always hugs me just a little bit tighter afterwards!" He laughed hugging his wife tightly. Jeffery rolled his eyes, Steph giggled and the twins stuck their fingers in their mouths making gagging noises.
Jeff watched as Cooter Davenport, the best mechanic in the state and long time friend of the Dukes, snuck up behind his brothers. He had a greasy grin on his face as he wrapped an arm around each boy, picking them up of the ground. "Ahhh! What's going on?" cried Kevin. "Dang it old man! Put me down!" Jesse shouted. Anna shot Jesse a look and cried, "Jesse Lucas Duke! Watch youe mouth! And apoligize to Cooter this very instant!" "Aww...Mom..." He protested. "Jesse....." He father scolded, "Listen to youe mother!" Jesse looked down at the floor, still hanging from under Cooter's arm. "Sorry Cooter! Sorry Momma!"
