A Tragically Beautiful Tale (pt 2)

The next day Pedro and Rita decided to get married. They got into Pedro’s yellow station wagon and drove to the outskirts of Mexico City, where they found a cute little white stone chapel, complete with a priest, ready to marry them. Pedro and Rita were so happy to get married that they rushed to the alter and told the priest to start the ceremony. At the alter, the priest, who was named Pablo, saw that Rita was a dancer (she still had her dancing shoes on) and realized that his life-long dream was to become a dancer. He, being an evil witch’s son, cast a spell on Rita, to make her forget her love for Pedro, and to fall in love with Pablo. Rita, unable to fight the evil magic of the spell, fell in love with Pablo, and left poor Pedro heartbroken. Pablo, with Rita in tow made a dastardly escape through the window of the chapel, and up a cliff. Pedro, now lonely, couldn’t return to Mexico city, since everything there reminded him of his lsot love, Rita.
