AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello, and welcome to my new story. This is just heart-breaking short story. While I was watching TV with my brother, he said, "Juliet and the Cheating Romeo" and an idea of the plotline came to my head. Hope you love it. If yes or no, tell me so, right down below.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Austin & Ally, no matter how much I wish for it to be true.
Austin and Ally have been happily dating for two full months already. There were the cute lovey-dubby couple in the halls of Marino High School. He was high school's Mr. Popular and world-wide internet sensation Austin Moon. She was nerdy, quiet, talented song-writer Ally Dawson. Most fairy tales end with a "lived happily ever after" type of sort. But alas, I'm afraid to pronounce that this type of tale is one that's quiet tragic, with a twist in an old classic.
Our classic Romeo and Juliet story, is one that's been told, so many times of old. But a modern day Juliet will suddenly take the stage. And a modern Romeo to break all our hearts. Let's begin our story, of the two loving sweethearts.
Don't worry, my horrible rhyming will stop here... maybe.
Austin and Ally were walking down the halls of Marino High School on another regular Monday morning.
"Hey, Austin! What's up, man?!" Dallas called. And he and Austin gave each other a bro hug. She never understood that with guys.
"Sup man?" he nodded to Dallas.
"Busy this afternoon?" Dallas asked casually.
"Why?" he asked.
"Oh, the guys are going donw to the field and play some football," Elliott replied.
"Nah, I'm hanging with my girl today." Austin wrapped his arms around Ally and they shared one sweet kiss.
"Whatever Moon," Dallas retorted.
"But I will have her someday!" Elliott teased.
Austin just laughed as well as Ally. These jokes came daily so they were used to it by now. It didn't really matter since they were just jokes.
They were walking past the school news bulletin board. It was a giant mess with tons of flyers for many clubs and team sports.
"Ohhh! Austin look!" Ally pointed to one flyer that she noticed among the others.
He turned his attention to the board. "Huh? What is it?"
"There! It's a flyer for auditions for the annual school play."
"Why?" he groaned.
"Oh, come on! It'll be fun." She pouted. "Please Austin. For me?"
He groaned again. Ever since Ally has lost her stage fright she had been keen to try out everything. Singing, not really dancing, and performing in front of people as much as she can. "What play are they showing this year?"
Ally examined the paper and replied, "Um, its Romeo and Juliet."
"Romeo and Juliet?! As in Romeo and Juliet?!" Austin exclaimed.
Ally smirked. Though he was Mr. Popular and loved horror movies he ad a soft spot for romance movies. "Yes. That very play." She looked at him hopefully as his eyes light up. "So are we going to try out for the lead roles?"
"Hell yeah!" Austin exclaimed. Ally laughed as they went to sign up for an audition.
At the Audition
"And for the role of Romeo we have Austin Moon and Ethan Carter. Austin please come forth on stage," the director Mr. Hirsch called. He was the music coordinator so he was part of play production.
"Hi! I'm Austin." Austin walked up on stage and planted himself center stage.
"Yes, yes." Ms. Watson looked up. She was the drama teacher. "So today could you just please read Romeo's lines while I read Juliet's lines. Just as a practice play."
"Sure." He pulled out his copy of the script and nodded signaling he was ready.
"Act 2, Scene 2. The classic balcony scene. So Juliet appears and you say..."
Austin gathered himself and set off with his lines. *"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. It is my lady, O, it is my love! See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand! o, that I were a glove upon that hand, That I might touch that cheek!"
"Ay me!" Ms. Watson said as Juliet.
"O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art As glorious to this night."
"O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet."
"Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?" Austin shouted, fully in merged with the character.
"That's fine." Ms. Watson raised her hand. "That'll be enough. Thank you Mr. Moon." As Austin walked off the stage she took a couple notes and looked up at Ethan who was now on stage.
A minute later it was time for the lead female roles to audition.
"Good luck Ally," Austin supported as she was called on stage.
"Thanks," she whispered back.
"Ahh, yes. Ms. Dawson. I'll portray Romeo and you be Juilet," Ms. Watson instructed. Ally nodded. "Okay Act 3, Scene 5. Romeo and Juliet are together and about to bid good-bye." She nodded for Ally to begin saying her lines.
"Wilt thou be gone? it is not near day: Believe me, love, it was the nightingale," Ally began.
"It was the lark, the herald of the morn, Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east: Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day. I must be gone and live, or stay and die," Ms. Watson said posing as Romeo.
"Yon light is not day-light, I know it. Therefore stay yet: thou need'st not to be gone." Ally was fully immersed as Juliet as she also loved this play.
"Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death: I am content, so thou wilt have it so. I have more care to stay than will to go: Come, death, and welcome! Juliet wills it so. How is't, my soul? let's talk; it is not day."
"It is, it is; hie hence, be gone, away! It is the lark that sings so out of tune, this doth not so, for she divideth us: O, now be gone: more light and light it grows," Ally said.
"Thank you Ms. Dawson. That'll be enough," Ms. Watson interrupted. "Cassidy Peeples please come forth!" she called after Ally had gone.
"You were great!" Austin complimented. "We'll totally get the lead roles."
Ally smiled. "Thanks Austin. So now a three day wait for the cast listings to be listed."
"Don't worry. We'll get it."
Three days later, Austin, Ally and all the others whom tried out gathered around the bulletin board as Ms. Watson had just left after posting the cast. Austin pushed himself to the front of the crowd and looked at the listing. He scanned for his name. "Yes!" he shouted. "Ally! I got the part!" he called to her as she was still forcing her way up front.
"Really?! That's great," came a muffled reply. "Did I?"
Austin turned back around, searching the list for Ally's name. Then he read it. Juliet was to be played by Cassidy. Cassidy was the queen of Marino High, as there was no king. Just her. Even though Austin was a popular she was the top and had been crushing on Austin since forever. And now since Austin was dating Ally, Cassidy hated Ally's guts and vice versa.
"Finally!" Ally exclaimed after a long struggle. "Let's see..." Her hand trailed the list for her name. She didn't find it. "No! There's got to be some mistake!"
"Oh... Ally. But there isn't," came a silky yet creepy voice behind them.
They turned around to face the devil herself, Cassidy.
"I'll see you on-stage, Austy," she flirted. Austin stood there in awkward silence as Ally glared as hell toward Cassidy. "Can't wait for the kiss..." She smirked and walked away.
This day wasn't going to get any better.
*There are actual lines from Shakespeare's original works. It's actually longer than this but I shortened it so you get the point.
A/N: I'm planning on making this a three-shot. What y'all think?
