Note-I knew that someday someone would do a Scrubs/Shakespeare crossover. So here's my interpretation of Romeo and Juliet…Scrubs style! This is just the intro, the story will be up soon. Btw, if you can think of a character for the Janitor, your contribution would be much obliged. Thanks! Below is a basic character list, with some surprise cameos later. Enjoy, folks!
Romeo-JD
Juliet-Elliot
Murcutio-Turk
Tybalt-Dr Cox
Benvolio-Carla
"What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet…"
"Oh yeah?" I muttered, thrusting more popcorn into my mouth. "I bet if it was called Stinkplant no one would go near enough to tell!" I laughed at my own joke, and Elliot whacked me on the head with her cushion.
"Hey! What was that for?" I said.
"Shut up!" said Elliot, motioning to Clare Danes on the screen. "I love this film! It's the greatest love story ever told!"
"Jeez, I don't even know why I agreed to watch this with you!"
"Because I threatened to throw Steven in the garbage if you didn't?"
"Oh yeah…"
"You're so uncultured" Elliot continued. "Shakespeare is a genius!"
"Geek…and I bet your only watching it because of Leonardo DiCaprio!"
"I am not!" Elliot sniffed, and I could see the first sign of tears prickle at the corners of her eyes. I sighed.
"You girls, you're all the same! Show you a soppy film and you melt! Hmm…"
"JD!" came a shriek in my ear, and I jumped. "Don't daydream, this is the good bit!" I was silent for a bit whilst I watched.
"All I can see is Leo and Clare snogging in a swimming pool!"
"JD, you have no soul! This is Baz Luhrman's greatest work! It's beautiful!"
"It's sappy!"
"Fine…" Elliot sulked. "If you don't want to watch it, go to bed!"
I sighed, and squirmed on the sofa.
"Shakespeare didn't even write it…" I muttered.
"JD!" Elliot yelled.
"Ok, ok, I'm just messing with you!" I grinned. Elliot wriggled, and laid her legs over my lap. She took a sip of hot chocolate, and the foam stained around her mouth. I ate some more popcorn. Everything was relaxed. And I slowly zoned out of reality and into my own fantasy world…
