It’s not common knowledge, but Calamity Jane had a daughter. No one knows who baby-daddy was, perhaps not even Jane — but that’s beside the point. Jane named her daughter Chloe and by the time she started grade school, Chloe had earned the moniker, Chaotic Chloe. She was a wild child but came by it honestly. Chloe was clone of her mom — on steroids.

In the third grade Chloe hogtied the class bully with her jump rope on the playground. When the principal, Mr. Skinnard tried to break it up, she hogtied him, too. Of course, the poor man was livid once he was untied but couldn’t think of an apt punishment for Chloe, much to his chagrin. He’d never admit it, but Mr. Skinnard was a little afraid of her.

And so it went through middle school and high school. However, at the senior prom, Chloe met her match in Wicked Willy Hickock, who of course was Wild Bill’s son. They’d seen each other around school but had no classes together. Well! When their eyes met it was all over. They fell for each other hard. By the end of the prom, Willy and Chloe were off in a corner by themselves, arm wrestling.

Principal Skinnard looked on from afar, shaking his head. He silently thanked God that those two crazy kids would be graduating in a month.
