The scene will be taken in Verona, Italy
Time period: I have yet to decide
This is act one scene one
Two houses hold both alike in dignity in fair Verona we lay our scene.
From ancient grudge to new mutiny, were 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
Whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows doth 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 naught could remove is now two hours traffic.
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.1
The morning sun had yet to reach the fair streets of Verona. The droopy clouds hung low cooling the air in the streets.
Two young men walked about enjoying each other's company. Few women dared to speak to these men for they were barbaric in their actions.
"Lithuania by my honest word, we will not endure insults today" Poland spoke in a dry voice. Lithuania smiled and nodded in agreement.
They ran this town and no one was going to stop them.
"Ha, indeed good Poland for then we would be sappers" the other spoke out in laughter. Smiling the two continued there walk.
"I mean "Poland spoke after a while" and if we happen to be of fury we'll draw" he boomed slicing through the air with his hand.
The two laughed a moment.
"Indeed, indeed "Lithuania laughed out "while you live, draw your neck out of collar".
Poland laughed slapping the other on the back. They headed further down the street whistling to useless tunes.
"You know Lithuania; I believe I will strike quickly being angered". Lithuania nodded his head thinking a bit.
"But you are quickly moved to strike" Lithuania added.
"Well! A guard of that house quickly makes me stand my ground "Poland spat at the ground in disgust.
"To be angered is to stir, and to be courageous is to stand ones ground.
There as if you are angered you run away" Lithuania added lightly.
Poland stared stopping to ponder on the thought.
"A guard of that house hold shall make me stand. I will the clearer side of the walk nearest of the wall
Shall it be man or maid of Germania's!" Poland said with a nod and a thrust of his hand in the air.
Laughing Lithuania nodded holding his sides gasping for air
"Yes, yes, that shows a weak man must go to the wall no?" Lithuania added after he caught his breath.
"Yes, Yes, and therefore women, being the weaker sex, are most easy to thrust to the wall. Therefore I will
Push Germania's men from the wall and force his maids to that same wall!" Poland yelled causing a few citizens to glare in his direction.
"This controversy is between our masters and us their loyal men." Lithuania added rubbing his chin thinking of the past years he has served with his master.
"Tis true my friend. I will show myself a tyrant: when I have fought with the men. I will be good-natured
With the maids- I will cut of their head!" Poland exclaimed using hand gestures as slicing his throat with his thumb.
Lithuania looked at him raising a brow slightly.
"Cut of their head? "Lithuania asked slightly confused. This guy was for real?
"Yes, the heads of the maids or of their maidens head. If you know what I mean." Poland gestured with the thrust of his hips.
Laughing they both stepped down the stair walk.
"Yes Poland my man, they will take it in a way of how there feeling it, no?" he laughed lightly at his comment.
"Hmm, they shall feel me indeed, that am while I'm still able to stand, and it is known that I am pretty well hung." Poland said proudly nodding His head and putting his hand on his hip.
"Well you are not a fish that is. If you hadn't, then you haven't been salted and dried" Lithuania laughed out
"Unleash thy tool! Here comes of the house of Germania's". Poland looked in the direction to see Egypt and another servant walking out casually.
Poland's eye filled with disgust. Damn those Germans he thought bitterly. Slowly he and Lithuania drew their swords ready to chop the German servants to pieces.
"My weapon is out, argue with them and I will back you up" Poland hissed quietly.
"How? Turn my back and run?" Lithuania exclaimed a little over a whisper.
"Do you not trust me?" Poland whispered loudly fury flowing through his veins.
"No, heavens no. do you think I'd be afraid of you?" Lithuania barked misinterpreting the question.
The two quickly moved closer to the servants.
"Lets us take the law into our hands. Let them begin" Poland said explaining his plan to Lithuania he reluctantly agreed.
"Yes, I will glare as I pass by, and let them take it as they wish" Lithuania said as bravely as he could still a bit weary.
"No, not good enough, they will take it. I will bite my thumb at them, which is a disgrace to them which they will have to accept" Poland said In a deep burly voice having a look enough to scare the devil himself smiling Poland walked up to the men his shoulders swaying like mobster. Slowly
He dipped in biting his thumb. Egypt growled feeling the disgrace set in.
"Do you bite your thumb at us sir?" Egypt asked trying to contain his anger.
"I did bite my thumb at you sir!" Poland said spitting at Egypt's feet.
"Did you really just bite your thumb at us sir?" Egypt asked again holding on to the last bit of restraint from slicing the man into pieces.
Poland leaned in to Lithuania saying "do you believe the law is on our side?" Lithuania looked a bit flustered and he quickly shook his head no.
"No" was all he managed to squeak out. Poland nodded and looked back to Egypt tapping his sword on the ground.
"No sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, I just simply bite my thumb" he finally answered waving his open hand around as if it was a greeting.
"Do you argue sir?" Lithuania finally answered his voice finally under control. Egypt look towards Lithuania's way making the man wish he could sink into the ground.
"Argue sir? No, sir?" Egypt answered in his mighty voice. Smiling Poland stepped closer just a foot smaller then Egypt
"But if you do indeed, I am the man for you. I serve just as good as a man as you" he said stomping his foot dramatically.
Egypt looked down at the man threw glaring eyes. This shrimp was about to get smashed into the ground with his fist!
"No better eh?" Egypt replied in a taunting voice puffing his chest out.
"Well, sir-" Poland began roughly.
Canada strode down the streets humming. It was nice weather they were having. A bit droopy but it was defiantly better than freezing rain they should
Be getting all week. Lithuanian spotted a figure walking to his left. Glancing over he saw his master's kinsman Canada! Yes he thought excitedly they might
Even have a chance now. Glancing back he looked at Poland who was still messing with Egypt.
Leaning in he spoke quietly into Poland's ear "say "better". Here comes one of my master's kinsmen".
Smiling Poland gathered up all his manliness and said "hah! Indeed better sir!"
Egypt was at his limit he has had enough!
"You lie!" he yelled throwing a cart full of cabbage over. The servant next to Egypt gasped dogging all the cabbage that was rolling down the street. Laughing Poland gripped his sword.
Lithuania remembers thy force." Poland yelled diving at the man.
Yelling in grunts and groans each man swished and clang their swords together. Looking up from his day dream Canada spotted the men fight.
What the hell? He thought running he attempted to pull the men apart. Gasping he ducked as Poland swung at Egypt. Eyes widening he pushed both away
Hoping it would last just a moment.
"Put away your swords you damn fool! You do not know what you are doing." he yelled as the men came clashing again. Next thing he knew
Romano came dashing in with fire in his eyes and smoke blowing out of his nose and ears.
"Why are these men drawn from these heartless heathens?
Turn Canada, turn upon your death" Romano yelled angrily. Oh great Canada thought. Another person to be added in this pointless battle.
Turning he dodged Lithuania who was running with his sword over his head screaming bloody murder. What the hell? He thought as he turned towards Romano.
"I'm here to keep peace. Put up your weapon. Or manage to leave these men with me" Canada tried to explain jumping back from Romano's deadly swing.
Growling he swung at Romano.
"What, drawn and you talk of peace? I hate that word as much as I hate hell, all Germans, and you. You are a coward!" Romano screamed. He viciously swung at Canada cutting a few pieces of the man's hair. Next to Canada's dismay citizens came running out enraged from all the clanging of metal and
Howls of pain.
"Clubs and partisans!" the citizens chanted "strike! Beat them all down! Down with the romans! down with the Germans! "Angrily they ran towards the fighting men. Angrily Rome and his wife Hungary ran in to see what the entire racket was. To their surprise it was like a mad town with lots of fighting.
"What the hell is going on out here? Go fetch my sword." Rome yelled to his wife enraged from the scene. What a mess indeed! "Why do you call for your sword?" Hungary said still trying to take in the sight.
"My sword I say! Damn Germania has finally come and surrounds his blade in spite of mine." Rome yelled angrily.
Next to Rome's surprise he spotted his enemy Germania and his wife running in.
"Damn you Rome! - do not hold against me; let me go "Germania yelled at his wife. He pushed and he shoved but her grip was overpower
"No! You will not step one foot near your enemy! "Liechtenstein ground out stomping her foot. This was really getting out of hand!
With this entire ruckus came the maddest of them all. Oh he has had! He was so done with the romans and germaniums always arguing over stupid stuff.
Stomping down the street his anger only increased when he saw all the people arguing oh this was really it! His father would turn over in his grave,
Bless the man, if he saw this. This wasn't civilized people! These people were barbarians, and it was entire Rome and Germania's fault!
"Rebellious men, enemies to peace, you who profane your weapon by standing them with neighbor's blood" Austria screamed out
"Will you not hear? What ho! You men, you beasts that quench the fire of your outrageous rage
With purple fountains issuing your veins?" Austria cried out not giving a man a chance to talk.
"On pain of torture, from those bloody hands
Throw your damn weapons to the ground and hear the sentence of your enraged prince!" he had to take a moment to breathe this was all overwhelming to him too.
"Three public brawls caused by a simple word,
By three off, rimes, and of Germania's' men,
Have trice disturbed the peace of these streets,
And made Verona's ancient citizens, casted by staffs and other appetences suited to wise old age, to wield old partisans, in hands
As old, malignant with peace, to part your cankered hate." he yelled out into the silent night! Finally he had gotten there attention.
"If you ever so disturb the peace in the streets again your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace." he said calming down a bit. His blood pressure had to be off the charts.
"For this time all the rest of you be gone with ye." he spoke out in a deafening tone.
"But you Rome, shall come with me, and you Germania, you shall see me this afternoon, to know our farther pleasure in this case." he snapped angrily
"Old common public, our common judgment place." he continued shortly after. "One more, on pain of death, all men depart". He said waving off the citizens.
Every man left at his own pace huffing and puffing of course Poland and Lithuania were long gone before the prince even fished. Egypt walked off feeling a bit
Less mad the other servant fallowing at his heels. Romano walked out with some men telling everyone how much he hated the Germania family.
Canada, Germania and Liechtenstein stayed sighing a bit each a little in thought.
"Who started this? Speak dear nephew, were you by when it began?" Germania asked slightly annoyed but his tone soft towards the boy.
Canada sighed he wasn't in the mood for much talking he was sweaty and sore from fighting Romano.
"There were the servants for your enemy, and yours, close fighting they were when I approached." Canada began
"I tried to part them. Then the next thing I know fiery Romano came with his sword prepared for battle.
Which, as he breathed defiance in my ears. He swung about his head and chopped at the winds
Though no one was hurt, he hissed his hate .while we were exchanging swings and blows,
There came more, and they fought one side and the other. Then as you know came the price, which stopped it all."
Canada explained moving his hands with every gesture he made.
Germania and his wife listened with open ears. Germania though was very upset with their situation.
"Oh dear, where is my Germany? Have you seen him today? Thank god he was not in this mess today." liechtenstien asked worried on her sons behalf
But relieved he wasn't hurt in all this mess. Canada looked to his aunt. He felt bad she was so tired from all the stress this hatred between the two families.
"Yes ma'am, I saw him an hour ago were he stood in the sun, set out in the east, a troubled look made me walk abroad,
Where, underneath the sycamore, that was set westward from the city side, did I see him walking so early? But he saw me
And ran off to the woods. I, measure his wish by my own, which then most sought where he does not want to be found.
Being one too many I worry myself, saying as in my mood not his, and gladly shunned who gladly ran from me." Canada answered honestly. He hated that he had
No good news for her she was a sweet lady as it was.
"He has been there many mornings, with tears of argument fresh as the morning dew,
adding to more and more deep sighs; but all to soon as the all-cheering sun should in the farthest east began to draw the
Shady curtains from goddess of dawns bed, and away she steals the home my sad son and keeps him private in his room
Were he keeps himself. He closes his windows, and locks the fair day out, and makes him an artificial night. Black and depressing
Must his mood stay unless good counsel may remove it?" Germania sighed off feeling a bit worried for his son. Looking down he studied his shoes and
Wiggled his toes frowning slightly. This worried Canada. This wasn't how his cousin usually was. Hell Germany was a happy and playful guy it always seemed.
"My Nobel uncle, do you know the cause of this mood?" Canada asked worried for his dear cousin.
"I have no clue nor can I figure it out" Germania answered looking at his nephew. Oh poor Germany he thought. This further worried Canada.
"Have you asked him what it is?" candy questioned further.
"Yes, me and several friends, but he will not take an inclination to a counselor, as to say- I do not know, but he keeps this secret to himself."
Germania stated" so far from discovering, as if the bud bit the little worm , where he can spread his sweet leaves to the air,
Or dedicate his beauty to the sun, could we find out where his sadness lies, we would be able to cure him". Canada pondered on the though when he saw Germany
Walking in like a dark cloud full of lightning and thunder.
"Speaking of Germany here he comes. So please step aside and I will find out what is the cause of his pain and sorrow." Canada said softly smiling a little
To his uncle.
"I would be most pleased if you stayed and found out the truth. Come, madam, let's be on our way." Germania announced and took his wife's hand
And walked down the street weary as ever. Canada walked to his cousin slowly observing his movements. This can't be good he thought Germany was like a slug walking down
A path. He could blow away if the wind picked up at this rate.
"Good morning dear cousin." Canada said in a cheery voice. Germanys cloud seemed to get darker when he looked at Canada. Great he thought a depressing
Log.
"Is it still so early?" Germany said slowly in his battery tone. Canada walked closer smiling a little less.
"Indeed it's only nine" Canada answered softly tilting his head when Germany's arms sagged even more. Oh brother this can't be good Canada though.
"Ah me. Sad hours seem so slow. Was that my father that went away so fast?" Germany asked not bothering to hide his sadness.
"Indeed. What is bringing you down Germany and making your hours so long?" Canada asked getting strait to the point. Enough was enough. He was about to
Become like Germany all sad and depressed.
"Not having that, which makes hours seem short?" Germany answered calmly.
"In love?" Canada asked hoping he was right.
"out-" Germany began then sighed off not bothering to finish.
"Of love?" Canada finally asked wanting his answer tired of waiting to hear it. This guy was freaking depressing.
"Out of his favor where I am in love" Germany answered a bit annoyed yet still consumed in depression. Sighing Germany ran his fingers threw his hair.
This sucked! Sucked! Sucked! Sucked! Sucked! He really loved that man! Loved him a lot!
"At last, that loves, so gentle in his view should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!" Canada boomed. Now he finally had his answer. Germania
Wouldn't have to worry anymore at least.
"Alas, that same love, whose view is muffled still, should without eyes see pathways to be ever he desires!" Germany yelled out.
"Where shall we eat?" he said hoping to get off topic
"ohm me!" he winced. Looking around he saw weapons everywhere along with broken carts and was that cabbages he saw all smashed up?
"What mess was here? Don't tell me I have heard it all. There's much to do with hate but more to do with love.
why then, oh brawling love, oh brawling hate, oh anything of nothing first create, must this chaos of sell-seeming form, feather of lead,
Bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, continually awake sleep, that is not what it is! This love I feel, there is no love in this." he cried out looking he saw Canada
With a very serious face.
"Do you not laugh?" Germany asked confused.
"No, cousin I would rather weep." Canada answered honestly.
"Good cousin at what?" Germany asked concerned for his cousin's behalf.
"At your good hearts oppression." Canada cried out upset at his cousin's sadness.
"Why, such love is transgression." Germany stated softly
"The sadness of mine lays heavy in my chest, which you made heavier with your own sadness on my account. This love that you have shown
Does add more sadness to much of my own." Germany sighed out "love is a smoke made with fumes of sighs; being of smoke, a fire shinning in lovers eyes;
Being vexed, a sea of nourished with lovers' tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall, and a preserving sweet." Germany sobbed out
"Goodbye dear cousin" he concluded. Canada sighed in sadness. His poor cousin.
"Wait a moment! I will join you and if you leave me you will do me wrong" Canada announced hurrying after Romeo who was walking away.
"Hemp, I have lost myself, I am not here. This is not Germany; he is somewhere else" Germany said with fling of his wrist still walking away from
Canada.
"Tell me in sadness, who are you in love with?" Canada yelled and put his hand on Germany's shoulder. Germany eyes filled with despair.
"What shall I groan and tell you?" Germany asked tears forming slightly. Canada felt bad but he really needed to know.
"Groan? Well, no, but seriously tell me who." Canada said barely above a whisper. His voice soft as a kitten.
": bid a sick man in sadness makes his will-a word ill urged to one that is who!
In sadness cousin, I do love a man." Germany yelled as tears flowed down his face like rain. Canada felt sorry for his dear cousin.
Slowly he wiped away the tears.
"I assumed so" Canada said final sighing a bit Germany looked at him this sucked even more!
"Indeed! And he's a handsome I love." Germany said threw his sniffles. Oh geese I'm like fucking water works over hear he groaned internally.
"Ah indeed, dear cousin, I see." Canada replied unsure what to say.
"Well in that part you miss. He will not be hit with cupid's arrow. He has huntress and golden chastity, and strong in armor of chastity
Well-armed. For loves weak children he lives unharmed. He will not stay the siege of loving terms, or the encounter of assailing eyes,
Nor open his lap to saint-seducing gold. Oh, he is rich in beauty, only poor that when he dies with beauty dies his store." Germany said tears flowing down again.
"Listen to me! Forget him" Canada proclaimed. Damn he wished he could do something! Well he would defiantly try.
"Oh teach me how to forget to even think!" Germany sobbed out loud.
"By giving liberty unto your eyes: look at other beauties" Canada said trying to help out. He felt like he was making things worse!
"That's the way. To call him, exquisite, in question more, these happy masks that kiss beautiful men's brows,
Being black, puts us in mind that they hide their beauty. He that is stricken blind cannot forget the precious treasure of his eyesight lost.
Show me a man that is past beautiful. What does his beauty serve but as a note where I may read who is past beautiful?
Goodbye you cannot teach me to forget." Germany said looking up to the sky then disappearing down the street leaving Canada to himself.
Oh how Canada wished he could help his friend.
"I'll give that instruction, or feel as if I have failed a friend" Canada whispered watching his cousin vanish in the darkness of the alley.
Well that was scene one (:
Very looooooooooooooon and tiring omg I'm so sore from sitting in one position...i feel like Germany is a bit over reacting.
