    What is love? – Chapter 41


     

     

    What is love?

    Chapter 41

     

    Game day, January 4, 2005

     

    They had left their home in West Hollywood early to attend the National Championship college football game in the Rose Bowl.  Tina’s beloved USC Trojans were playing The University of Texas Longhorns.  Bette had never seen Tina so excited and was glad there was a seat belt law so that her wife was securely attached to the car.

     

    She was so wild that when they got out of the car, Bette was afraid she would float away like a helium balloon.  So Bette made certain she had hold of Tina as they walked toward the stadium.  She also resolved that Tina was not going to drink anything more that had caffeine in it.

     

    Bette had attended college games before with Tina, but had never seen anything like this at the Coliseum.  In addition to the usual insanity, there were fireworks, planes flying over and so much confetti that it looked like a Technicolor snow storm.

     

    “Bette, look at that!”  Tina said, grabbing her arm and pointing to the sky.

     

    “What the fuck?” said Bette as she saw someone descending toward the field in a parachute.

     

    “Oh, they do that for big games sometime.” Tina said.

     

    Bette had never been to the Rose Bowl and it was huge.  Tonight it was filled with red and orange.

     

    “What’s that color they’re wearing?” asked Bette.

     

    “Orange,” said Tina, without much interest.

     

    “That’s burnt orange, ma’m,” said the man sitting in front of Bette.

     

    “Pardon.”

     

    “Burnt orange.  It’s our color.”

     

    “Oh, thank you.”

    “You’re welcome, ma’m”.

     

    Bette watched the other pre-game ceremonies as Tina squirmed in excitement.  Bette located the Trojan on the horse, something that always fascinated her.  Then she spotted a huge, still animal, flanked by attendants in cowboy outfits.

     

    “Look at that T.  Is that a cow?”

     

    “I think it’s their mascot,” said an annoyed Tina.  She was a true fan who never liked to talk about the other team.

     

    “It’s a longhorn ma’m,” said the man sitting in front of Bette.  “A longhorn steer named Bevo.”

     

    “A longhornof course.” grinned Bette.  “Thank you, sir.”

    1. I’ve not comment on your story before but I love it :-) I, too, would have thought you a USC fan. I am NOT a college football fan, but my cousin plays B-Ball for the Lady Longhorns so I pull for all their teams. I have to admit, though, that I like that Reggie Bush for USC. Who wouldn’t right? You ahve to leave the sports in the stories :-)

    2. that was pretty funny. i thought you were a USC fan as well. i’m a virginia girl so i wasn’t that invested in the game, but i always have a soft spot for the underdog, so i was glad to see USC go down.

    3. The game was awesome. My family is split with some going to A&M and others going to Texas. It was nice to see Coach Brown win the BIG one. The FSU game was pretty good the night before also. I love sports, but my team The U of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors had a bad season this year. Hopefully, they will have a better season next year. The Wahines Volleyball team at least made it to Regionals before loosing. Go Horns!

    4. From all the USC games you wrote about, I surely thought you were a USC fan! I’m so wrong! Go Longhorns! I still can’t believe USC didn’t pull it out! Poor Tina….good thing Bette was there to hold her down. Nice…

    5. Pancha. Hook then Horns.. That was a good game. I couldn’t believe that Young did so well. I recorded for my som on DVD He had to go into work.He called in ever 15 min. to see who was ahead. The last time I lied 1minute to go and USC on the 20 yard line trying for a TD. Then had to tell him the truth. Left the DVD in Mailbox for him to pick up at 3 I thinks he said a dirty word. Love it when they sang Texas our Texas/ OK Virginia Teck won the Gator Bowl so had to happy camper One old hookie and a Texas nut. Thanks for wriing this chapter. Thanks.

    6. LOL! Way to write yourself into the story! (I’d have copped a feel, at the least. You know…go in for the hug and…whoops!) Congrats on the game. I’m a football agnostic, but it was an exciting one.

    7. “Tina,” she said, introducing herself. “Pancha,” said the other lady.OMG RFLMAO! That was perfect. I didn’t want USC to win but I’m not happy about Texas winning either. It was a good game.Oh and I love the all knowing man in front…I remember when he made his first appearence in the chapter where Tina and Bette go to a USC vs. UCLA basketball….ahhh classic”that’s because all the good players from california go to school out of state” : D

    8. pancha, you just crack me up with you sport stories LOL…i’m still laughing and it’s 1 am, i should be in bed…thanks for this fun, love it

    9. ROFL That was a nice pick-me-up to start the day. I saw the title and was like, “WTF isn’t that story finished?” I just woke up so it’s taking me a little while to process things. ;)

    10. HOOK’EM HORNS!The eyes of Texas are upon you!Great stuff, that game was like whoa. Is Tibette suppose to be sitting so close to the Texas side if they were going for USC??Did you see that pitch play in the second? Thats what Im talking about!

    11. Way to go…write yourself into the story. LOL. Really do enjoy your sports stories, they’re always fun to read. You just crack me up with your constant know-it-all guy up front. Thanks for the update.

    12. Pancha I love you! The only reason I would have been happy with USC winning would’ve have been that it makes Tina happy. But Bette will just have to take care of her.

    13. Well, I managed to sleep several hours and then woke up, wide awake, with visions of Natl Championships still in dancing in my head. JFreez – I saw the pitchout, but heck. Even if it had been called back, inVINCEable would have scored on the next play. Heismans are great, but a Natl Champ is better!

    14. Pancha, I really didn’t even have a dog in that fight, just playing the role of the loyal opposition! In fact, I never watch college ball. Glad your team won, although I’m sorry for Tina. …Hope you come back periodically and revisit “What Is Love?” it’s one of my favorite stories! …Go Big Red! (the bouncer).

    15. Hahaha, Pancha, you bad Texas cowgirl! You had such a big intrigue to write this chapter. How can you let Tina down like this? You have to make up to us by writing more chapters. I didn’t realise you said ‘football’ as ‘football’ not ‘soccer’ until I saw the word ‘touchdown’, hoho.

    16. Pancha, college football ain’t my thang and my poor Jets lost so many starting players I stopped watching early on, but I am happy for you and happy that you gave us this little add on to your tale. : )

    17. A Texan, huh? Football, eh? I’ve met your kind before. I don’t follow the game much myself, but that was pretty funny. You were nice to Tina at the stadium, but aren’t you rubbing it in just a little bit here?

    18. Dear Pancha,So last night as I was watching the game, I started laughing so hard thinking of your Tina and Bette sagas at the USC games and seeing your post today on THE GAME was even more delightful. Did you read our minds? It’s scary…I felt a little sad for Tina at the end of the game while saying to myself, hold on darling, she’s not REAL. So you see what a convincing portrayal you’ve given us! Thank you.

    19. Texas Fight, Texas Fight, Yeah Texas Fight! Hook’em Horns baby!!Longhorn-love has drawn this now completely hoarse TexasEx out of lurker mode. Lovely story Pancha – what a wonderful way to start our reign as #1.
