Unbreakable Love
Chapter 1: Delicate? No way!
Author's note: If you're too lazy to read the summary, this is Gnomeo and Juliet, through Juliet's perspective, with a little more romance, and if I get enough feedback, I will write it Gnomeo's perspective as well. I have waited long enough! NO ONE HAS WRITTEN A STORY FOR GNOMEO AND JULIET! So I decided to write one myself! Please tell me what you think!
Also, I'm not really confident with the dialogue, I really need to go see the movie for the third time.
Yes, I don't own Gnomeo and Juliet, or the story, as much as I want to.
My name's Juliet, I've a red gnome, the daughter of Lord Redbrick, the leader of the Red Garden, and I've been living here in London in Mr. Capulet's garden for as long as I can remember.
I have two problems, #1, my dad is the most overprotective Gnome in all of London, and #2, because I'm a girl, I clearly am weak and delicate as a flower. How can I be weak and delicate when I've never gotten in an accident, always avoided dogs, and always do my best to make sure that our Red Garden outshines that monstrous Blue Garden. I mean, what more can you ask for? I'm not delicate! If I was, I would've been shattered by now! For the past 7 years, I practiced Kung-Fu to protect myself from any harm. Only really Nanette treated me like a person. And still I am considered to be delicate? I just can't believe it! I wish that just once someone wouldn't treat me like an innocent, delicate, little girl. I'm almost a grown girl now, I can't believe since my mother's accident, my father makes a rule that I can neither leave the garden or even my pedestal near the pond of our garden.
His belief is that Lady Redbrick's death was based on a race between the neighboring Blue Garden and that during that race, the lawnmowers accidentally crashed both her and another gnome, tearing them to pieces. My father and the rest of the gnomes, and myself were heartbroken. I was only a young gnome back then. Since the accident, my father, never was the same. I realized that maybe he would never be the same. I hated the Blue Garden, I hated them for taking away my mother, and I hated them for anything else that they would do to us. But my father's hate was greater, and soon that hate spread from him to my cousin Tybalt, to my best friend Nanette, to everyone in the garden, including myself.
Since my mother died, his hatred of the Blue Garden was so strong, he made orders to everyone in the Red Garden to do whatever possible to sabotage the Blue Garden. Everyone in the Red Garden didn't know about the real reason that the Blues were enemies, and they really didn't care. They weren't there to see her get smashed, because back then it was just me, Dad, Mum, and Nanette. But a lot has happened since then, and today my fear of lawnmowers really died down after I saw some of the races between the smaller gnomes of the Red and Blue. They would some, we would win some, and if either side lost, revenge would be taken. At least they got to have some fun. Blue, the word made me sick.
Anyway, my story starts here, another day at my home, and the event that would change my life forever, in the most unexpected way.
We all heard the cars speed away, and the rooster crowed letting us know that the coast was clear and that we could move. Once I unfroze myself, I dropped my red rose, and I ran down the steps of my pedestal past Nanette, and was planning to climb up the tree to get a good look at the garden to see if there was anything I do to help humiliate that horrible Blue Garden. When I saw that everything was just waking up to embrace the new day, I turned and saw my dad arguing through the fence with what I guessed was the leader of the Blue Garden, Lady Blueberry.
"I am not illiterate! My parents were married!" my dad shouted and filled the hole where we could see the Blue Garden and started to walk away to what I guess was looking for me. If he could just of something else for just one minute, I might even do a cartwheel for him, and then get on with the rest of the day. Don't get me wrong, I loved my father with all my heart, but sometimes, he was just a little much. Today was going to be one of those days and to avoid getting yelled at, I climbed up the tree and pulled back the leaves to see the perfect thing to bring shame to that horrible Blue Garden. On the nearby greenhouse near the two gardens, on the roof, was a very rare and very valuable flower called a Cupid's Arrow Orchid.
I gasped in surprise when I saw it and smiled. "Wow!" I whispered. "A Cupid's Arrow Orchid!"
Just when I was thinking a way to get the flower, I heard my father call my name.
"Juliet!"
"Huh?"
I turned around but slipped on one of the apple and fell, and it with me, but I managed to grab onto one of the nearby branches, and I didn't get smashed. I couldn't say the same thing for the pot that the apple fell on and knocked it over. I did a small front flip and landed on some leaves, slid down them, while my father shielded his eyes, and was standing upright without a single scratch.
"Hi there, Dad!" I said excitedly. "You won't believe what I found..."
Dad groaned. "Ugh! You want to get smashed?"
I continued on as if I didn't hear him. "A flower that will put that Blue Garden to shame. Just across the alley.." And just as I was getting to the good part, he interrupted me once again. He grabbed my arm and dragged me back over to the pond where my pedestal and Nanette were.
"This feud business is none of your concern." What? How was it none of my concern? I was the daughter of the leader of the Red Garden, in case he had forgotten! He continued on with his talking about how I couldn't do anything to bring shame to the Blue Garden, while dragging me back to the pedestal. While he wasn't looking I rolled my eyes. "And as leader of this garden, it's up to me..."
It was my turn to interrupt now.
"Uh, I am a Red," I said annoyed. "After all." But as usual, he went on as if he hadn't heard me.
"Oh!" Dad sighed aloud. I looked to Nanette for help, but she was squirting water out of her mouth. "You're just as impulsivated as your mother was. Bless her to bits." He said lovely, remembering Mum, for a small moment and then went back to being the cold, strict father he was. "Now. Back where you belong." He gestured to the pedestal and started pushing me up the stairs, until I shoved his arm off of mine and started walking up the stairs. I groaned aloud.
"I can't just stay tucked away on this pedestal all my life," I pointed out, walking to the center of it, my hands turning into fists.
"Don't you see?" he said. I was about to say something to him about that, when he said something that made smoke come out of my head. "When will you realize you're delicate?"
I turned around angrily and shouted. "I AM NOT DELICATE!" and kicked my red rose at him and walked to the other side of my prison, not bothering to look where my rose had landed. I figured it out when I heard Nanette say:
"She definitely not delicate," she said, and I heard some water drip out of her mouth so I guessed that it might've landed in her mouth. I would probably apologize later, which I did, but at that point I was furious.
Basically the rest of the day, I listened to lawnmowers race for a little bit, I guess Tybalt won, but I heard someone fighting with him, I lost interest and was trying to figure out how exactly was I going to get that orchid. As much as I was mad at my father, I still wanted that orchid. It would put them to shame to their garden and that was enough. I knew my plan, I thought I was there for the orchid and that alone, but the universe had other plans for me.
That's it! I'm really happy that I finished it! This is merely because I want more Gnomeo and Juliet fanfictions because I believe that it was good!
And also, this idea wouldn't leave my head all night so I got typing and I must say I'm pretty happy with it! Please review and let me know your opinions! But no complaints about the dialogue, it's not mine ok? It's with the writers of the movie! And this is the movie from her perspective!
Please review! Until next time!
