Did you ditch your loyal fans, @Karin Schill? Or have you gone on vacation without letting us know? 
But actually JR promised Rebecca to stop at McDonalds on the way home (drive thru) so he didn't get out of eating their food after all! :rlol:
No but my best friend got married yesterday so I didn't have the time to update...
Honkytonkangel, thanks for the feedback. I am glad that you enjoyed the golf with grandma update. Cool about the McDonald's thing. You are the same age as my sister and we still eat at McDonalds quite often as well. Especially when we are out travelling as it's quick, cheap and you know what you get when you eat traditional western junk food!
Ms Southworth, thanks for all your comments as well.
I don't know if anyone's used the names Herbert and Hilda together in a Dallas fanfic before. It's not something I remember reading anyway.
You make a good point when you say that Rebecca's mom probably doesn't like eating at McDonalds!
Yeah kids are brutally honest, they tell it like it is whether you want to hear it or not! So gotta love that about kids.
Wow! I never thought about that this is one of the most read threads on soapchat before you pointed it out.
I guess it's because I still think of the JR/SE swoon thread as having 1 million views which it did before the server crash last fall. So compared to all those old threads that had the most views on this site, 30 000 views really isn't that much!
Anyway enough said and on to an update:
Sue Ellen, Lucy and Donna were sitting by the pool at Southfork. They were dressed in swimsuits as they were sunbathing. Donna said, “I still think it’s strange that JR took Margaret and Rebecca to the movies. It’s not like him.”
“Yeah I bet he’s up to something,” Lucy agreed.
“Why do you think that?” Sue Ellen asked, as she lowered her sun glasses.
“Oh come on Sue Ellen. You know what JR’s like,” Lucy said.
“I do,” Sue Ellen sighed. “And I must admit at first I thought he was up to something too. But now I’m not so sure. I mean what if he’s just trying to be nice?”
“Well maybe so,” Donna said. “But why would he do that?”
“To score points with me,” Sue Ellen said. “You’ll see he’s trying to persuade me to stay at Southfork.”
They laugh and Lucy said, “Sounds like JR.”
“But I thought you lived in England?” Donna asked.
“I do,” Sue Ellen nodded. “Even though the house is gonna be so empty without John Ross.”
“I can understand that but he really loves it here at the ranch,” Lucy said.
“He does, and to tell you the truth, so do I,” Sue Ellen confided in the other women.
“So is that why you haven’t returned to England yet?” Lucy asked.
“What do you mean?” Sue Ellen asked.
“Well you said you were only gonna be here for a month…” Lucy reminded Sue Ellen.
“I know but that was when I thought John Ross was gonna come back home with me. But since he isn’t, I figured I’d stay for another month,” Sue Ellen explained, as she fastened her sun glasses in her hair.
“That makes sense,” Donna replied.
“Yeah and besides I haven’t had the chance to go see my Mama yet either,” Sue Ellen explained. “She’s away on some cruise and won’t be back for another two weeks.”
“Sounds like Patricia,” Lucy rolled her eyes.
“So how does Don feel about that you’re staying longer?” Donna asked.
“Honestly, I don’t know. He’s away on some business trip and his damn secretary refuses to leave a forwarding number,” Sue Ellen said annoyed.
“So where does that leave you and Don?” Lucy pried. “Are you getting a divorce?”
“I don’t know, it’s sort of complicated,” Sue Ellen sighed.
“Isn’t it always?” Donna sighed too.
“All I know is that England doesn’t feel like home and being here, just makes me realize how much I’ve missed Texas,” Sue Ellen said.
“I know what you mean, I’m not sure I wanna go back to Washington either,” Donna said.
“But what about your husband?” Lucy asked.
“Oh Andrew and I are divorced,” Donna revealed and the other women looked surprised at that.
“Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realize,” Lucy said compassionately.
“It’s okay, it happened over a year ago and we’re still friendly,” Donna said.
“I don’t understand how you can be friendly with your ex’s,” Lucy said.
“Well it works for us,” Donna said.
“That’s good,” Sue Ellen said. “I’ve never managed to do that.”
“Well that’s because the Ewing men are different,” Donna said.
“Sure are,” Sue Ellen agreed. “They are so stubborn and get angry when they can’t have things their way.”
“Yeah and they are proud too. They just won’t admit when they need help,” Donna said.
“And whenever they’ve done something wrong they think they can buy their way out of it,” Sue Ellen added. “Like JR always used to send me flowers or give me gifts.”
“Well I guess you don’t have that problem with Don. I don’t exactly see him as Mr. Romance,” Lucy laughed, when Miss Ellie’s car pulled up in the driveway.
“Looks like they’re back,” Sue Ellen said in an attempt to change the subject.
“Yeah I wonder who won,” Lucy said, when John Ross and Chris ran up to them.
“So how was the golf?” Sue Ellen asked and looked at John Ross. But he just ignored her question.
Fortunately Chris answered instead. “Fine,” Christopher smiled, “especially John Ross’s water balls.”
“Oh like you were any better picking a hole in the lawn,” John Ross teased Chris.
“So what’s the result, who won?” Donna asked.
“Grandma won. She’s really great at golf,” Christopher said.
“So what was her score then?” Lucy asked.
“Oh 60 something, but we didn’t finish the round,” Chris said.
“Why not?” Lucy asked. Christopher and John Ross burst into laughter.
“What’s so funny?” Donna asked.
“He got a hole in foot,” John Ross laughed.
“Did you just say hole in foot?” Sue Ellen frowned.
“Sure did,” John Ross grinned. “You’ll see he hit a bald man in his foot with the golf ball and the geezer came over to us to give us a lesson so grandma had to defend him.”
“Oh right, like you were any better hitting your golf ball into that woman’s ass!”
“You did what?” Sue Ellen exclaimed and John Ross looked down.
“He hit the bald man’s wife with his ball and then grandma figured it was time for us to leave,” Chris laughed. “She looked ridiculous, so it was really fun.”
“Yeah I never thought golfing could be that much fun,” John Ross grinned.
“John Ross that’s not funny,” Sue Ellen said.
But John Ross didn’t care what she said. “I guess you just had to be there,” he gave her one of his shit eating grins, before Chris and John Ross walked into the house, still laughing about what happened.
Miss Ellie then walked up to them after parking the car. Lucy said, “Hi grandma, we’ve heard you’ve had a rough golf-round today!”
“Tell me about it,” Miss Ellie sighed, as she sat down in an empty chair next to the younger women.
“Miss Ellie, I’m so sorry about John Ross’ behavior today,” Sue Ellen apologized. “He really should know better.”
“Oh it’s quite alright, after raising three sons I’m quite used to it,” Miss Ellie said.
“Yeah but surely JR, Gary and Bobby must have behaved a lot better,” Sue Ellen said.
“Actually no, compared to their fathers at that age, John Ross and Chris are quite well behaved,” Miss Ellie said and Sue Ellen looked surprised.
“So what did they do then?” Lucy asked.
“You really wanna hear what they did?” Miss Ellie asked.
“Yes Miss Ellie we’d love to hear about it,” Donna said.
“Well I can’t tell you all the things they did since that would take all day,” Miss Ellie laughed. “But I in particularly remember the time when we went camping at St. Mary Lake up in Montana.” Miss Ellie smiled, “I had been bugging Jock to take us on a vacation for months and he finally relented, only that there really is no such thing as a vacation when you are travelling with three boys.”
“I can imagine,” Sue Ellen said.
“When was this grandma?” Lucy asked. “It was before I was born, right?”
“Yeah, it was and Ray hadn’t moved to us at Southfork yet either,” Miss Ellie paused for a moment before she went on. “I think JR must have been about 16…”
“Like John Ross is now,” Sue Ellen smiled knowingly.
“Oh yes,” Miss Ellie smiled. “So Gary must have been about ten and Bobby, the little sweetie was just about 6.”
“Okay so what did they do?” Donna asked.
“Well at first not a lot. But I’ll never forget the third day in the park. You’ll see we woke up at five that morning from a really weird sound,” Miss Ellie laughed. “Turns out it was a bear that had broken into our food bin.”
“You’re kidding!” Lucy exclaimed.
“No,” Miss Ellie shook her head.
“But how did it get there?” Donna asked.
“Bobby,” Miss Ellie laughed. “You know how he’s always so concerned about everyone, well the day before when Jock took him fishing he had seen a bear further away in the lake. Thinking the bear was hungry he had then left a trail of fishes for the bear to eat...”
“And the bear ate its way all the way to your food bin,” Donna put two and two together.
“Exactly,” Miss Ellie laughed and all the women joined in on the laughter.
“You must have been thrilled,” Sue Ellen laughed.
“Not exactly, all that remained was can food, so Jock and I went into town to shop some necessities,” Miss Ellie explained. “And we left JR in charge of babysitting his brothers…”
“Oh-uh,” Sue Ellen made a face.
“And Gary in charge of cooking some lunch,” Miss Ellie sighed.
“Oh no,” Lucy laughed, “Dad can’t cook.”
“Well you’ve got that right. Turns out that while we were away Gary had managed to start a small grass fire,” Miss Ellie replied.
“Oh no,” Lucy said.
“Oh yes,” Miss Ellie laughed. “It was a good thing that the park ranger reacted so fast or they could have gotten seriously hurt,” Miss Ellie added seriously. “When the fire department got there the fire was already out. But when we got back we were charged with a huge fine and asked to leave the park.”
Donna, Sue Ellen and Lucy laughed and Lucy said, “So that was the end of that vacation?”
“Well not quite, you’ll see when we returned, JR was missing.”
“Oh boy here we go,” Lucy said.
“Let me guess JR was probably out chasing girls,” Sue Ellen said sarcastically.
“Well you know JR,” Miss Ellie smiled. “Turns out he had managed to seduce the park ranger’s daughter.”
“I guess that must have made Jock proud,” Sue Ellen said.
“Well yeah he was, until after we got home and there was a letter waiting for us in the mail. The girls’ father was suing JR for seducing a minor,” Miss Ellie said. “Luckily JR was a minor too so the charges were dropped.”
“He sure got a way to get away with everything,” Lucy said.
“Yeah,” Miss Ellie nodded. “But I must say that was one hell of a vacation and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it!” Miss Ellie shook her head. “So well the next time we went on a vacation I made sure to leave the boys at home!” Miss Ellie finished her story and all the women laughed.
I hope Hilda and Herbert don't decide to sue the Ewings for what happened at the golf course with John Ross, Christopher, and Miss Ellie because poor Miss Ellie has been embarrassed enough for one day since she just wanted to spend a nice quiet day with her grandsons golfing. 
Thank you very much ... I'm very pleased! And I hope your friend had a beautiful wedding! 
However, if you insist, @Karin Schill, I might consider giving more feedback at a later date! :wink@
Happy 4th of July. It is fun reading about the Ewings celebrating the 4th of July since we never saw them celebrating the different holidays or their birthdays on the show ! 
Great pool scene with the majority of the Southfork ladies!No but my best friend got married yesterday so I didn't have the time to update...
Honkytonkangel, thanks for the feedback. I am glad that you enjoyed the golf with grandma update. Cool about the McDonald's thing.

I just loved everything about it! It had a huge amount of that unique "Dallas" feel to it, IMO! :wink@ Definitely a full score board from me! :10::10::10:
Nice scene with Mitch and Trevor!Thank you everyone for the feedback. I do appreciate all of your comments.
Alexia, I am glad that you loved the latest update.
Sanda, don't worry Hilda and Herbert may have threaten to sue them but they won't!
Honkytonkangel, I am glad that you loved the girltalk. Yeah you are right Lucy is happily married right now, Sue Ellen's marriage is in trouble and Donna is divorced so...
There will be some scenes with the couples you mentioned in this update...
But first here's the daily update and since you didn't get one last night I'll give you a double one tonight....
I hope that will please @Ms Southworth...
Monday at Dallas Memorial Hospital. Mitch and Trevor were sitting in the cafeteria having lunch. Mitch said, “Then he said that he would get back to me as soon as possible. However I should be expecting good news.”
“See I told you you’d get it!” Trevor smiled.
“Well it’s not official yet…”
“It will be. I’m gonna ask Goomer over at schedule to put us on the same shift!”
“That would be great,” Mitch smiled.
“So maybe we should get together tomorrow. Celebrate a little?”
“Let’s wait until I actually get the job,” Mitch said.
“Oh you will,” Trevor said reassuringly. “I bet you, you’re gonna get it!”
“You’re hopeless,” Mitch said and they laughed.
“Still about tomorrow, do you and Lucy have any 4th of July plans yet or do you wanna hang out?”
“Well we were supposed to hang out with my wife’s family.”
“Ouch,” Trevor made a face.
“But I’m sure Lucy wouldn’t mind spending time with you instead!”
“Great, see ya at lunch then?”
“You bet,” Mitch smiled.
Uneventful stuff going on, but I guess that "Dallas" had its share of those scenes as well! I'm hoping that things will "pick up speed" with Lucy and Mitchs' friends so that the fact that they're included in this fanfic will begin to make sense at some point!
Somehow, I find it a bit hard to believe that Lucas had never heard of cheerleading in any way, shape, shape or form! I think that you would have to have to live on the moon, and not "just" a helter somewhere! Keep going strong!
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!! The! scenes cracked me up at some point!Happy 4th of July to everyone in the USA.
Thank you also to everyone who's left feedback. It's always appreciated. :thank:
Presea, I think Sue Ellen is in her late 40's in this story. I'm sorry you find her annoying, but I think she's conflicted about JR since she still loves him even though she doesn't want to admit it even to herself since she knows he's bad for her!
Although Margaret is mature for her age she is still only 8 years old so if provoked I think she will get angry, as would most 8 year olds.
Pammy, I am glad that you've caught up. It will take a while longer for Jenna to arrive at Southfork but you will get a Bobby & Pam update tomorrow night.
Sanda, I am glad that you enjoy reading about the 4th of July celebrations in this story. Without ruining too much of the plot I can tell you that they will celebrate a lot of holidays in this story and also some big birthdays...
Okay so it's time for another update and tonight it's the last one from the 4th of July celebrations:
Later that evening at Southfork Ranch were Miss Ellie, Clayton, JR, Sue Ellen, John Ross, Christopher, Rebecca, Margaret, Donna and Ray standing outdoors by the pool, looking at a private firework display that their ranch hands were putting on for them. “Did you see that one?” Miss Ellie pointed towards the sky where a red, white and blue firework display just went off. “That was a really big one!”
“Pardon me grandma but it wasn’t that big,” Margaret objected.
“You don’t think so?” Ray asked.
“No the ones at the Capitol Hill are much bigger,” Margaret insisted.
“Well of course darling those are national fireworks. This is a private display and it’s really impressive Miss Ellie,” Donna smoothed over Margaret’s comments.
“They’re nice but I would have liked them more if Mommy and Daddy were here!” Rebecca whined.
“We know that sweetie, you’ve been saying that all day,” Clayton sighed before adding in a strict voice, “But the fact is that your parents aren’t here so just try to enjoy the show will you?”
“But I don’t like that Mommy and Daddy stayed away longer. They should have come home last week.”
“I know and I don’t like it either, but I guess they have a lot to do in Houston,” Christopher sighed.
“What are they doing in Houston anyway?” Rebecca asked.
“Your parents are on a business trip. Sometimes those take longer than expected,” JR explained.
“Well you should know,” Sue Ellen snorted.
JR gave her a look, “As should you darling!”
John Ross sighed, as he listened to their bickering for a while. But then he gave his mom his best shit eating grin and said, “Well I wonder how long Don’s gonna be on his business trip!”
JR smiled amused and Sue Ellen gave her son an annoyed glance, “Beats me, he’s been avoiding my calls.”
JR and John Ross smiled satisfied when they heard that and JR said, “You know darling, you’re too good for that tweed.”
“Can we just enjoy the fireworks?” Sue Ellen sighed and they turned their attention back towards the sky.
