Sam & Melissa A Charming Love Story
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the, Charmed characters as they belong to Aaron Spelling productions or Sam, Dean, John & Mary Winchester. & I don't own the story Romeo & Juliet as that belongs to the bard himself William Shakespeare but I do own Melissa Hale who'll be called Halliwell in this story.
Authors Note: This's set in an alternate universe to my, Charmed series now. The story is basically Romeo & Juliet with the Charmed & Supernatural characters playing the Shakespearean roles instead. The stories based on the 1996 movie version of the film wherein Leo's not a white lighter as he wasn't born in 1924 but in 1960. The Charmed Ones are not sisters & they were subsequently born in 1965, 1968, 1970. Also instead of Melissa been from the future she was born the same year Sam Winchester was so in the year 1996 they'll both be 16 years old.
Extra Notes: The story will be the same as the original Romeo & Juliet story but maybe a little different in the fact scene where Sam comforts Melissa after killing Andy Trudeau that scene will be extended a little & the ending maybe tragic like it was in the story or it mayn't. I'll decide that when I come to it. Piper & Leo will live there at 1329 Prescott Street what'll be a mansion with their only daughter Melissa who'll be called Halliwell there & her cousin Andy who'll stay also. In San Francisco town John & Mary Winchester who isn't dead in this story will live there with their only son Sam Winchester & his cousin Dean. Their house will be a mansion to. The stories rated M for violence & sexual nature.

San Francisco HighwayAfternoon
A ribbon of freeway, stretching into a blue & pink late afternoon sky is seen. A huge dark sedan, windows tinted gold, powers directly for us. A heavy, low sling pickup truck travels toward the sedan. In the sky the cars are seeing closing in on each other like thunderous, jousting opponents, the cars pass in a deafening cacophony of noise. In the pickup truck Bobby Singer yells at the disappearing sedan.
Bobby: One of those Halliwell dogs will move me to anger.
He & the front seat faced passenger, Ash explode with laughter. The light ash haired driver, Dean Winchester keeps his eyes on the road.
Gas Station
Time lapse the truck is in the busy driveway of a large gas station, being filled with gas. The surrounding walls are painted with murals of blue sky & palm trees. Inside the truck Bobby & Ash are boasting outrageously. The driver's seats empty.
Ash: One of those Halliwell dogs will move me so much I'll stand & fight. I'll walk next to the wall & make any Halliwell servant step off & walk into the gutter.
Bobby I'll show myself a tyrant: when I've fought with the men I'll be civil with the women, I'll blow of their heads.
Ash mocks outraged.
Ash: The women's heads?
Bobby leers lecherously at a minibus full of Catholic schoolgirls next to them.
Bobby: Yes the heads of the Halliwell women or anyone women out there. Take in what sense you can make of it Ash.
Ash: That I'll try to do.
The song which has been playing on their sound system is turned up whilst Bobby & Ash gyrate crudely at the schoolgirls.
Bobby/Ash: I am a pretty piece of flesh! I am a pretty piece of flesh! Me, they shall feel while I am able to stand; I am a pretty piece of flesh!
The head catholic teacher returns to the minibus from inside the store. The minibus pulls away revealing a tough looking older man Karl Brody leaning against the huge dark sedan. Bobby: suddenly starts gyrating.
Bobby: Oh, oh here comes one of the Halliwell men.
Karl stares coldly towards the Winchester men. His sidekick Dex Lawson takes notice of them also. Bobby's eyes are locked on the two Halliwell's men. With fake bravado he pulls back his chest to reveal a handgun. He nudges Ash.
Ash: Don't worry mate I'll back you up.
Karl unfolds his arms in front of them revealing an even more ferocious holstered gun. Ash tries to quell his rising panic. He nervously unbuttons his shirt to clear his sidearm.
Bobby Let's make sure we don't get arrested let them start the fight.
Suddenly out of nowhere a loud bangs heard. Bobby & Ash jump. Whipping round we see it was the gas attendant slamming the hood down. Bobby & Ash are mortally embarrassed. Karl with a snort of contempt turns round toward the car. Bobby, furious tries to save face.
Bobby: Take it how dare they! I'll give them the finger! If they don't so anything about that, they're yellow worms!
Ash quickly bites his thumb towards Karl's back as he gets into the sedan. Karl's eyes flick to the rear view mirror. He sees Ash biting his thumb. Suddenly a blood curdling screech of tires is heard as the sedan, rubber burning, reverses full speed toward Bobby & Ash. The Halliwell's car shudders to a halt, inches away from the truck, blocking its path. A scurry of limbs scrabbles across the seats & reaches for the door handles. Karl hauls Ash out from the truck. Bobby leaps out, Ash covers him. Karl slams Ash against the side of the vehicle, then, goading him to go for his gun, screams.
Karl: Are you giving us the finger?
Ash's shaking hand hovers, ready to draw.
Ash: Yes I am giving the finger, sir.
Attendants & customers around them run for cover. A packet of bullets hits the counter inside the store. A hand with a cat ring picks them up. Tilting down a shiny, pair of black decorated boots with cat-shaped spurs, are seen. A little boy with a toy gun runs past. He stares through the glass doors towards the commotion outside. The little boy's mother has not heard the disturbance through the thick glass of the store's windows. Outside Karl, in a hysterical rage shrieks.
Karl: Are you giving us the finger sir?
Ash sweating murmurs to Bobby.
Ash: If I say yes will the law back us up?
Bobby: No.
Ash still sweating answers.
Ash: No sir I am not giving you the finger but I am giving the finger.
Bobby: gives a ridiculous inquiry.
Bobby: Are you trying to pick a fight sir?
Karl smiles dangerously.
Karl: A fight? No of course not.
Ash looks on him with unconvincing bravado.
Ash: Well, if you are, I'm ready. My boss is important as yours.
Karl asks him a lethal question.
Karl: He's sure no better.
Ash feels trapped.
Ash: So you say.
The sound of a toilet is heard flushing. Coming outside from the restroom is Dean Winchester Sam Winchesters cousin. Bobby whispers manically.
Bobby: Just trying to say he's better. Here comes one of his relatives.
Ash screams.
Ash: Yes, my boss is better.
Karl shrieks at that comment.
Karl: You lie.
Ash: If you're real men, draw your guns. Bobby remember how tough you were goanna be.
Eyes on Dean terror-stricken he sees four the boys reaching for their guns. Dean gets his gun out outstretches, it & screams.
Dean: Back off you fools! Put your guns away, you don't know what you're doing.
Camera focusing on his gun it reads gun 9mm series S. Dean screams again in desperation.
Dean: I said put away your guns.
The whole scene's frozen with the 5 people standing weapons outstretched. Behind them an unmistakable sound of a match is heard striking. A pair of black cat-spurred, boots come into picture. Craning up we see a pair of dark cold eyes & feline smile of the wearer of the boots Andrew Trudeau standing there. He lights his cigarette clenched between his teeth whilst he's holding his outstretched gun in the other hand.
Andy: Fighting with these, low-class scum? Turn around & die Dean Winchester.
Dean: I'm just trying to break up the fight. Either put away your gun or use it to help me separate these guys.
Andy smiles mockingly.
Andy: Your gun's out & you're talking about stopping the fight? I hate wusses like I hate hell, & you, & all the rest of the Winchesters. Here I come, you coward.
Andy squeezes the rigger on his gun. Suddenly we hear firing from Andy's blind side. Andy redirects his weapon, cracking off a single shot at the surprise attacker. The shot comes from the 5 year old boy in the store. The bullet shatters the glass of the store. The boy's hysterical mother screams as she throws herself in front of the child. Andy withdraws a 2nd gun out. Dean brings his gun around on Andy. Andy fires, blowing Dean's gun out his hand. Bobby fires at Andy. Andy's, combat rolls off. Ash fires at Karl whilst simultaneously kicking over the truck. The truck squeals away from the gas pump. The gas hose bursts, spewing gas everywhere. Ash fires at Andy still from the moving truck. The windows of the car Andy uses for cover blow out. He springs to his feet from the combat roll, simultaneously mounting his long-distance sight. Karl & Dex's sedan screeches of after the truck. Andy ignoring the gunfire slowly draws the high-powered sight to eye level, & launches a shot that rips through Bobby's arm. Bobby falls to his seat, screaming in pain. The truck races away, with the Halliwell's sedan pursing them. Dean still at the gas station picks up his gun; at runs onto the roadway. Cars squeal to a stop. He fires at Andy over a halted car. Taking evasive action, Andy hits the ground. Dean turns & runs up the road. Andy throws his spent cigarette on the ground & runs off in pursuit of Dean. The discarded cigarette ignites near the leaking petrol. Dean runs full tilt through the cars. The flame travels fast past the cars. Andy runs full tilt against the cars also. The flame whooshing towards the gas soaked station as people & staff run in all directions. An almighty explosion happens when the flames hits the store. They travel up the painted walls of blue skies & palm trees as they are consumed in flames.
San Francisco Town
The Camera cranes up past the burning walls & smoke to discover in the distance towering over the city is an enormous statute of Jesus Christ flanked by 2 towers. 1 is neon-crowned Halliwell, the other, Winchester. On the horizon a squadron of choppers fly above toward us. From inside an armed chopper to another flying past it reads Halliwell mansion. From behind the towers the words Halliwell & Winchester in reverse crown the frame. Jesus looks away from us. In the distance, fires are burning all over town &, on the horizon, the faint outline of a beach. The choppers thunder through the frame. Time lapse later in the evening Andy screams demonically, whilst his gun's outstretched. Dean screams demonically to. His guns outstretched also. A standoff occurs over the hood of a car. The middle aged occupant screams manically. Thundering close above Andy & Dean an armed gunship appears. A command booms down from the chopper's public address system from the town's mayor Roy Le Grange.
Roy: You rebels, disturbers of the peace! If you don't drop your guns to the ground you will be tortured.
Back at the standoff nothing happens. The SFPD patrol cars, swerve to a halt. Cops leap out, rifles aimed. Another cop car slides on in. The steer eyes of Roy look on again. He repeats his command.
Roy: If you don't drop your guns to the ground you will be tortured.
Dean quickly looks to the guns pointed behind them & above; Andy does the same & considers. Dean's rage subsides. Like a surreal bullet, the boys mirror each other precisely; they slowly back away &, with perfect synchronicity, turn to the chopper & raise their guns into the air. As we do, the camera pulls up revealing more devastation that's been caused. Riot police, subduing looters, cars burning, shop windows smashed. Andy & Dean's guns fall to the ground.
Mayor's Office
Mayor Le Grange's sitting in his seat his facial features grim. He looks at the Halliwell & Winchester families & speaks.
Roy: Three times recently there've been street fights caused by something old Halliwell & old Winchester. The respectable old men of the town have had to put down their old men's things & pick up weapons, with their tired old hands, because of your miserable hate. If you cause anymore fights in the streets, you will die.
The faces of Leonardo Halliwell & Jonathan Winchester look on at Roy solemnly. In the back police officers have Andy & Dean handcuffed. The Halliwell's & Winchester's lawyers are standing at the side.
San Francisco Town Next Day
A majestic sunrise is seen inside of John's limousine which skulls through deserted streets. 1 bodyguard's car drives ahead another follows behind. John & Mary Winchester his wife ride uncomfortably in silence along with their nephew Dean. Mary speaks out at them in anger.
Mary: Where's Sam have you seen him today? I'm sure glad he wasn't in this fight.
Dean snorts out derisively & stares out the window. Embarrassed, Dean tries to be of assistance.
Dean: Madam an hour before sunrise on the beach in the west side of town I saw your son walking early.
John speaks with contempt.
John: Lot's of morning's he's seen with tears in his eyes & sighing like an old steam engine.
Mary struggles to contain her emotions.
Mary: & as soon as the sun starts to come up he sneaks home to his bedroom, locks himself in & pulls down the shades so it's dark as night in his room.
John barks into the limo's intercom.
John: Westward from this city side.
The limo & bodyguard's cars u-turn, & head west.
The Beach
An ornate arch of what was once a splendid cinema's seen. At the top of the arch the word's 'Sycamore Grove' are clearly visible. The cinema has been demolished but for its proscenium, through which we can see the grubby shore of San Francisco beach, housing a collection of sex clubs & strip bars, populated with prostitutes, drag queens, clients & street people. A young handsome brown haired boy called Sam Winchester is sitting alone in the corner of the proscenium looking out over the ocean. He's smoking. The limousine & bodyguards are parked on a corner street at a distance from the golden arch. John, Mary & Dean sit watching the silhouette of Sam.
John: He may've some deep emotional trouble, unless someone can give him some good advice.
From the limo: Sam, noticing he's been watched, rises & makes his way from the demolished cinema, through the wire fence into the parking lot of the adjacent pool hall. The Winchesters limo follows at a discreet distance, turning the corner & heads directly for Sam. Seeing this, Sam turns in the opposite direction & heads off down to the beach.
Dean: If you don't mind, go on home I'll try to find out what's wrong.
Dean clambers out of the limo. John shows an encouraging smile.
John: Come on dear let's go home.
The limo & bodyguard's cars pull away. Dean heads towards Sam down on the beach.
Dean: Good morning cousin.
Sam turns, sore, red, unfriendly eyes squint back at Dean.
Sam: Is it still morning?
Dean: It's barely 9.00.
Sam rises & walks through the beach shacks. Dean follows.
Sam: Oh, man when you're bummed out time really drags.
He stops as if taking in Dean for the first time.
Sam: Was that my father that took off in a hurry?
Dean: Yep. What's got you so down?
Sam: I don't have what would make me happy.
Dean: I bet you're in love!
Sam: Out.
Dean: Of love?
Sam: She's out of love with me, but I'm in love with her.
Dean: Love seems so fine, but it can sure bring you down!
Sam: Love's supposed to be blind, but it had no trouble finding me! Where are we having lunch? Oh, man, was there a fight here?
He's halted by the sight of last night's disturbance displayed on a small TV screen in an outdoor bar. Dean starts to reply but Sam cuts in.
Sam: Don't tell me, I know all about it. Hate causes this, but it's like what love does to me.
He begins to stride away from Dean, raging.
Sam: It's like fighting with the one you love, or loving the one you hate. It's something made from nothing. It's light & heavy at the same time. It's serious & foolish. It's perfectly shaped, but a real mess. It's a lead feather, shining smoke, cold fire, sick health. It's being asleep & awake at the same time.
He screams at a huge bouncer who lounges in the doorway of one of the on-beach sex bars.
Sam: I feel love, but I don't love this feeling.
The bouncer's hand moves to his gun. Dean pulls Sam back quickly, holding his own hands in the air, away from his own gun. Sam laughs at the bouncer.
Sam: Are you laughing at me?
Dean: No, dude, it's more like crying for you.
Sam: About what, compadre?
Dean: You because you're so bummed.
Sam: Later cuz.
Dean: Wait! Let me go with you. If you go by yourself, I'll be insulted.
Sam: Who cares? I'm not really here anyway I'm not really Sam.
Dean: Alright, spit it out whom is she?
Sam: Here's the sad truth, cuz I'm in love with a woman.
Dean: Well! Duhh! I figured that much out!
Sam: You figured right. She's really pretty.
Dean: Well, if she's a fair target, cuz, she'll be easy to hit.
Sam: Well, if that's your best shot, you just missed.
He takes up a stick & writes the word "Jessica" & a heart with an arrow piercing it, in the sand. Dean reacts with amazement.
Sam: I don't think she'll ever fall in love. She doesn't want anything to do with love affairs. She's not impressed by words of love, or flirting, or even expensive presents. She's very beautiful, but it looks like she's determined to be a virgin all her life.
Dean: Has she sworn to remain a virgin?
Sam: Yes & what a waste.
Dean: Listen man, forget about that chick.
Sam: Yeah, right! Show me how!
Dean: Look around, dude check out other chicks.
Sam: Give it up, cuz: you can't make me forget about her.
Sam laughs dismissively as he enters the pool hall.
Dean: Yes I can & I'll take you up on that challenge & I'll win.
Dean follows Sam up into the club. On the newsstand next to the pool hall a time magazine shows the picture of a square faced jawed youngster with a caption underneath him reading "Daniel Gordon bachelor of the year. Excellent breeding, sums of love & wealth, absolute power & a good name"
