So, you wanna hear about that little tramp Red-Riding Hood eh? Yeah, well a lot of stories have been going around about her, and I'm here the set the record straight.
Ya see, Red's mom, Lois, was in deep the local bosses for some high bills after a bad betting streak. She got in real bad with this Rumplestiltskin chap, a real
high-roller from Fairyland way. Anyways, he needles her into making some wagers on spinning competitions and her luck was out. So, Lois, knowing her sick old mother's got some goldage stashed away, sends her kid, Red, off alone to swipe it.
Now, Red, hmpf, she ain't no angel herself. She ain't so little either and she packs a heck of a punch. Her and Cinderella got into a scrape over some farm boy
near the palace. This was before ole Cindy got high and mighty, but Red took out a good bunch of that girl's hair and knocked out a few of her teeth.
Anyways, like I was saying, Red sets off to collect the loot from old granny and she meets up with this Wolf, this sleazy guy from the city who's out in the country
on the lam for some racketeering charges.
Wolf's giving her a line about coming back to the city with him, making a career in a chain of exotic boutiques he's lining up. He tells her he's out looking for investors to get the ball rolling.
Now Red's sly, but she's checking out this guy's fancy shoes, and clothes and jewelry. She's thinking this guy's all Bling! Bling! and she wants a piece of that,
right? So she tells Wolf about the stash at her grandma's house.
Now, Wolf is all checking out Red too, thinking this could be his ticket to the big time with a little booty on the side, ya know what I mean. And Red's givin' him all the signals. So Wolf's like, "Ok, you got any ideas?" And Red's all, "Yeah, I got one. But we got to do it right, so as them that's after Lois don't know it was me."
You see, Red's the one who came up with the whole grandma eating thing. Before, Red was just gonna wait till the old bat fell asleep and swipe the stash. But, see, now she's got this big bad Wolf who can just swoop in and gobble up the geezer. So, she's like, "You go in and take care of the old woman. The head out to the stone bridge. You see then, I come in all surprised like, scream at the blood, put the money in my basket and take off. I'll meet up with you, once the heat is off."
Wolf, who hasn't eaten all day, likes the plan, but he's crafty and cautious. He almost had a run-in with this woodsman near granny's place and doesn't want to
raise any alarms. "Old Woody," Red tells him, "please, boy, you think Red can't distract that coot long enough for you to take out the old witch." Yeah, and Wolf's
all like looking Red up and down and knows that woodsman ain't go no chance.
So it's a simple plan and it goes off without a hitch. Wolf swoops in, eats up granny, flannel nighty and all, Red comes out from behind the shed with Woody, goes
into the cottage, is all, like, oh no and help and stuff. Woody comes running, he goes and gets some of his buddies. They bag some local wolf out napping in the field, string him up, and Red's gone to meet her new pimp down by the bridge.
Meanwhile, Lois is doin' time at Rumple's place to work off her debts and is all sad and stuff, thinking Red got gobbled up by the Wolf too. Which isn't too far
off, if you know what I mean. Red goes and changes her name to Lady Scarlet and her and Wolf open up that go-go joint Deep Mining down on Dwarf Pass. I hear that's where Snow White got her start.
Heh, Snow White, now if you want a story, I could tell ya a thing or two about little Miss Not-Snow-White and her seven sugar daddies.
