Hello! Yea, i'm new here, so please be a little nice. If you are i'll give you a virtual cookie ^-^
No flames please! Light critisism would be nice, though.
Sorry if some bad grammar crept its way into my story.
Alright enough stalling. ON WITH THE STORY!
Two households, both alike in dignity
In fair Jump City where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
Chapter 1
Joseph Wilson and Wally West, friends of the Logan family, casually walked out of the pizza place. They strolled down the sidewalk, talking dirt about the Roth Family.
Down the street however, another group of teenagers were coming from the opposite direction towards them. Wally recognized the group instantly- Nicole, Toni, and Harold, friends of the Roth family. Wally smirked at Joseph and whispered as they passed by the group, "Fuck off." Toni stopped in her tracks and stomped towards Wally, fire raging through her eyes.
"What did you say to us?" She yelled, thrusting her finger at his face.
"What on earth are you talking about?" Wally dramatically gasped while putting his hand over his chest.
"You know what I mean! Did you just tell us to fuck off?" Toni yelled even louder this time. Some citizens walking by heard Toni's outburst and formed a circle around the group of teenagers as they verbally fought even more.
"I, an innocent friend to your rival family, would never say such a thing." Wally nudged his elbow to Joseph as he bit his tongue to keep from laughing.
"I know your lying!" Toni screamed as she threw a punch at Wally, but missed. Wally then proceeded to tackle Toni to the ground. Nicole saw Toni fall to the ground with wide eyes. Her blue eyes sparked a flame as she punched Joseph in the face who stumbled backwards, in which Harold proceeded to tackle him to the ground.
The citizens watching this brawl started joining in by groups, punching and fighting other citizens that joined in too.
From the background, a teen with spiked jet black hair, black sunglasses, who wore a red t-shirt and dark denim jeans ran up to the brawl. He put up his hands and shouted, "STOP IT! THE MAYOR SAID NO MORE BRAWLS!"
"What's the matter, Grayson? You gonna run away like a pussy like always?" answered a harsh voice. Cartwheeling up from behind the fighting group came a pale girl about the same age as him with pink hair that was put up in a ponytail and emerald cat eyes, a cold smile worn on her face.
"Not now, Jenna. I'm not here to fight anyone, especially you." said Richard, putting his hands in front of him as he faced Jenna. Jenna scowled at Richard as he turned his back on her.
"Too bad, Dick." She hissed and proceeded to kick him in the stomach as he turned to face her again, dropping him to the ground. The two instantly began their own brawl. The others started fighting again as more citizens started to join in the big array of fighters too. Hearing of this, Trigon Roth, his wife Arella Roth, Steve Aliases and his wife Jessica Aliases ran up to the scene. Trigon and Steve glared daggers through each others eyes, getting into fighting position.
"Arella, give me my Swiss knife." Trigon said to his wife.
"No, you are not getting into this fight!" Arella yelled at her husband, gripping his shoulder.
"Jessica, hand me my dagger." Steve told his wife.
"Steve, you are not getting into any more brawls!"Jessica said to her husband as she tugged on his forearm.
"ENOUGH!" a familiar voice yelled. It was the Jump City Mayor. Richard and Jenna stopped and slowly walked closer to him. Joseph and Wally stood up next to Toni, Nicole, and Harold, rubbing their shoulders and heads as they faced the mayor. Slowly, the citizens halted their brawls and everyone turned to see the mayor, red-faced and a scowl that sent a shiver down everybody's spines.
"This is the 6th brawl this month!" he yelled. "I am getting more and more citizens in hospitals and even more complaints! So I suggest you stop the brawls, or you shall face the penalty of death!"
Everyone went wide eyed. The mayor turned to Trigon and Steve. "Trigon, come with me. Steve, meet me in my office at noon." The mayor and Trigon proceeded to walk off the streets. Steve walked up to Richard, who was still rubbing his sores.
"What happened just now?" questioned Steve sternly.
"The family's friends got into a brawl on the sidewalk. I tried to break it up, but Jenna came up and taunted me to fight her, then she tackled me." Richard stated and growled the last part.
"But where's-"
"Garfield?" Richard guessed. Steve nodded quickly. "I haven't seen him all day."
Steve ran a hand through his hair, clearly troubled as to figuring out where his son would be. Richard glanced above Steve's shoulders. A little way back was the Jump City Park where Garfield sat under a shaded tree, his green eyes sticking out from the background.
"Oh, never mind. I see him under that tree over there. Don't worry; I'll talk to him for you!" Richard quickly stated and ran off towards Garfield leaving Steve baffled.
"Hey Gar, Good Morning!" Richard yelled at Garfield as he ran toward him. The blonde haired, emerald-eyed boy looked up at Richard, obviously depressed, then looked back down.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Richard asked.
Garfield just stayed silent while looking at the ground.
"Oh, girl problems. I get it." Richard helped Garfield stand up and put his arm around his friend as he helped them both walk slowly down the sidewalk while Garfield slowly struggled to keep up with Richards quick pace. "So who is it?"
"I'm not telling you." Garfield answered back sharply. Garfield stopped, which forced Richards arm to fall off of his shoulders. Richard noticed and turned towards his depressed friend.
"Oh, come on! I'll swear not to tell anyone!" Garfield kept his lips closed, so Richard started guessing name of girls that they both knew. Then Richard asked the obvious question.
"Karen?"
"Nope."
"Cheshire?"
"No…!"
"Melvin!"
"God no! She acts like she's 10! Now stop bombarding me with girls names and leave me alone!"
Richard sighed in defeat, but kept beating Garfield with more questions.
"Is she at least hot?"
Garfield sighed. "The hottest."
"What is she like?"
"Awful. She won't give me the time of day. She always rejects me no matter how many flowers I give her or how many poems I write about her or even how many of my famous jokes I tell her." Garfield stated. Richard snickered when Garfield mentioned his jokes and Garfield gave him a death glare. Richard slightly coughed and paused for a second.
"What's her name?" Richard pestered on. Garfield sighed impatiently.
"Fine! It's Tara Markov." Garfield answered shamefully.
"Tara?" Richard said, obviously surprised. "That snobby, rich little backstabber? Come on, Garfield, you can do so much better than her! She's been with, like, every guy in Jump City!"
"Not. Helping." Garfield forced out through his gritted teeth.
Richard held his hands up in defense and exclaimed, "Sorry! Well, I'll help you out then. I'll take you to the Roth's costume party tonight. That will get your mind off of her with all the girls that will be there."
Garfield's eyes went wide at the sound of the Roth name. He had known that his family and the Roth family had been in a feud for years! "But it's a Roth party! We'll get kicked out for sure! Plus I'm not even going to look at a girl other than Tara."
"Dude, don't worry! Garth said he would get us in somehow. Plus it's a COSTUME party. No one will recognize us!"
Garfield thought about it for a while. He then answered with a sad but defeated sigh.
"Fine. But I'm only going to go to show you that there is no girl other than Tara I will love." Richard smirked and pulled out his cell phone.
"All right then! I'll tell Garth our plan about the party." and he ran off, leaving a sulking Garfield to walk back to his house.
...Well?
Was it good? I really hope it was.
It would mean the world to me if I could get a couple of reviews :)
If i do, i'll continue with the story.
