A/N: Since my previous fan-fic story didn't do justice, I have decided to write the PJO style of Romeo and Juliet after watching the 1996 adaption of Romeo + Juliet. I'll be modeling this story after the 1996 film but I'll be having my own surprises and whatnot. If some names are not familiar to you, it's because I made up some of the characters even though they are not apart of the PJO series. I apologize. READ&REVIEW or else no update.
Chapter One: The Warring Families
The Jackson's. The Chase's. They are arch rivals, lifelong enemies. The two warring families reside in the city of Verona where their families have their own motor vehicle assembly companies. Jackson Motors and Chase Vehicles. Sally and Poseidon Jackson are the young parents of young and charming 16 year old Percy. Frederick and Athena Chase are the middle-aged parents to beautiful and intelligent 16 year old Annabeth. The families have been warring for the last 25 years over a can of spilt cola and a few missing pieces of cheese from a party platter at a game of charades back in the early 1980's. These two teenagers are star crossed lovers after their first glance and kiss... and this... begins the entaling adventure of Romeo and Juliet... actually, Percy + Annabeth.
On a warm, bright and sunny Tuesday afternoon in the city of Verona, Percy's cousin Piper and his best friend Grover took a trip to the grocery store where they are needed by Percy to pick up a few items for tonight's dinner at the Jackson manor with the family. While pulling up into the parking lot, there, they run into three of the men from the Chase family, Annabeth's brother Malcolm and her cousins, Jason and Mario. Grover was quite disgusted when he laid eyes on them.
"Look at this unrequited filth!" Grover yelled
Malcolm quickly spun his head around and saw Piper and Grover. "Look! It's them.."
"SLAIN THEM!" Mario screamed in anger
Piper overheard Mario and pulled out his pistol with the words 'DAGGER' on the side with the Jackson family crest on the bottom on the handle.
"Draw your swords!" Piper yelled as the others drew out their weapons in unison
"We shall slain blood with unclean hands" Grover bellowed loudly
"With our duty lies, we shall draw blood from the enemy!" Piper yelled
"Not if we do first!" Jason taunted back loudly with a smirk
"With those words spoken, let there be war and no peace at heart!" Mario howled with anger as the others began shooting each other.
Jason let out the first bullet beginning the shootout. Grover and the rest of the people hid behind whatever they could as they aimed and were having a shooting match towards each other. The five of them were warring it out trying to slaughter each other outside the grocery store and in the koud, bustling streets of Verona.
Meanwhile at the Chase manor, a frantic and worried Athena and their live in maid who they commonly referred to as 'Jenny' were looking for Annabeth all over the house trying to get her prepared for a costume party that was being thrown at their home tonight.
"ANNABETH! ANNABETH!" Athena yelled
"Where is she?" Jenny asked
Meanwhile in the bathroom, Annabeth was in the bathroom dunking her head in the little sink filled with lukewarm water pretending to scuba dive attempting to look for loose change her father would occasionally drop in there. When she heard her mother's frantic voice, she immediately pulled her head out of the water and ran out of the bathroom with her satin red robe on her.
"Mother! Jenny!" Annabeth exclaimed peacefully
"Get dressed darling! There is a party tonight" Athena announced
"A party? This is so soon!" Annabeth exclaimed in panic
"Go get dressed. We have four hours until our guests arrive" Jenny instructed as Annabeth ran upstairs to prepare for tonight's events.
"With our duty lies, we shall draw blood from the enemy!" Piper yelled
"With those words spoken, let there be war and no peace at heart!" Mario howled with anger as the others continued shooting each other.
Meanwhile back at the grocery store parking lot, The same five men were having the shootout with their weapons which were named 'Swords' on their guns shooting each other over a Jackson boy (A/N: Take a guess? This was better left un-shown) biting their thumb at a Chase boy. Malcolm threw his 'Sword' down on the ground as did Grover.
"Let us make peace" Grover suggested
"Peace? Peace? I hate that word. I hate hell. I hate Jackson blood" Malcolm responded coldly
Percy must have gotten word over the shootout and drove over with his 'Sword' as well and drove right to the store straight away parking his car next to Grover's.
"HOLD IT!" Percy yelled as he jumped out of his car in concern and rushed towards Grover and Piper with his gun hidden in his shirt
Malcolm drew his gun at Percy's head and challenged him. "Draw your sword"
Percy pulled out his weapon and aimed it at Malcolm. "Do you challenge thy enemy?"
"I shall challenge thy enemy and slain unclean blood" Malcolm responded
Percy scowled and pulled the trigger sparking the continuation of the shootout. Before the opposing party could fight back, the Verona City Police Department arrived at the scene with helicopters watching an aerial view of the scene. Captain Prince was speaking through a megaphone ordering a stop to the battle.
"HALT! DROP THY WEAPONS AND SURRENDER!" Prince Captain yelled
Both parties dropped their weapons to the ground and raised their arms in surrender ending the shootout. The two parties were arrested by the police and were taken to the police station.
A/N: Was this okay? I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I tried to use some of the Shakespearean speak but I apologize if it didn't come out the right away. I'll try again the next chapter. I need your feedback in order to continue on. READ&REVIEW or else no update.
