Fairytale

Once upon a time, in a far off land called the Wild, Wild West, lived a young girl named Chaparra. Chaparra and her Girlfriend loved to go out dancing at the End of the Line. One night Chaparra’s Girlfriend met a young man named el Jefe. Chaparra’s Girlfriend tried to get rid of el Jefe because he was too young. But, alas, el Jefe would not leave, not peacefully, anyway.
Soon thereafter, el Jefe introduced Chaparra to an acquaintance of his, Joey. Joey was a few years older than el Jefe. Chaparra’s Girlfriend was envious of this. She thought, “How lucky Chaparra is to have an older man.” So Chaparra and her Girlfriend continued to go to the End of the Line and meet their men there-the Girlfriend’s young man and Chaparra’s older man.
This went on for a while until one night, after having free fish soup at The End of the Line (where sometimes the eye of the fish is staring at you), Chaparra and her girlfriend wanted to go dancing at another place, el Toro, also located in the Wild, Wild West, but a little further east and off of a different bus line.
El Toro, being located a little further east, was a little more civilized and they asked to see I.D.s before allowing the party to enter. The women were not requested to produce I.D.s, but the men were. The men didn’t care for that, but they couldn’t drink without showing their I.D.s.
Upon showing his I.D., the guard said to Joey, “You’re just a baby.” This statement worried Chaparra a little. But Joey played it off. However, Chaparra’s Girlfriend felt exposed now that the guard had seen the guy’s ages. She imagined the guard saying, “How nice of you boys to bring your grandmothers out.” But she quickly put that out of her mind.
It turns out that inside El Toro there were only five people: the four of them and Chaparra’s ex-boyfriend. Chaparra leaned across the table to her girlfriend and said, “I think Christ (the names have been changed to protect the innocent) is here.” Chaparra’s Girlfriend looked up and saw Christ walking towards their table. “Oh my god,” thought Chaparra’s Girlfriend, “There’s gonna be a showdown in the wild, wild west.” But, Chaparra’s ex-boyfriend, Christ, merely tipped his hat as he passed the table on the way to the men’s room. But he did have an angry walk.
After lots of great dancing the party left. Chaparra’s phone was ringing a lot that night. But, she ignored Christ.
One night Chaparra called her Girlfriend. Chaparra was breathing hard and talking in a whisper. She said, “ Oh my god! Joey came over and told me his back was sensitive because he just got a new tattoo. When he took off his shirt, he had his birth date tattooed across his back, 1983!” Poor Chaparra. But Chaparra’s Girlfriend was no longer envious of Chaparra and her “older” man. She told Chaparra, “If the police ever drive up and ask for I.D.s just tell them that the boys told us they were 41 and 42 and we believed them.” The End
