This is a break while I write my other story. I thought of this while I was reading Romeo and Juliet in school. This is the actual dialogue but more modernised situation.
ENJOY RETARDED RABBLINGS!!

"I want to kill Ecklie for this."
"Catherine, if I hear you threaten to kill him one more time, I may actually be tempered to kill you." That shut her up.
"What I want to know is how Grissom and Sara get out of this?"
"Grissom apparently used his supervisory powers and Sara already saw it with her boyfriend."
"Sara has a boyfriend?" Several people hushed them as the theatre began to dim and a spot appeared to reveal a man.
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, 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.
Two men appeared, talking loudly to each other. Both wore modern clothes, while a group on the stage played basketball.
SAMPSON GREGORY SAMPSON GREGORY SAMPSON GREGORY SAMPSON
Gregory, o' my
word, we'll not carry coals.
No, for then we
should be colliers.
I mean, an we be in
choler, we'll draw.
Ay, while you live, draw
your neck out o' the collar.
I strike
quickly, being moved.
But thou art not
quickly moved to strike.
A dog of the house
of Montague moves me.
The scene drabbled on forever with a fight over a basketball somewhere in between.
It wasn't until Benvolio mentioned it that they realised someone else had entered the stage. Some one scarily familiar.
BENVOLIO ROMEO BENVOLIO ROMEO BENVOLIO
Good-morrow,
cousin.
Is the day so young?
But
new struck nine.
Ay me! sad hours seem
long.
Was that my father that went hence so fast?
It
was. What sadness lengthens Romeo's hours?
ROMEO! Gil Grissom was playing ROMEO!! Everyone watched as he drabbled on about his love for some girl.

The minutes passed as Grissom resighted his lines to the audience and other characters upon the stage. "I wonder who plays Juliet." Warrick whispered into Greg's ear. "Don't know but the second Act is nearly over so we'll find out soon." He stared at him, completely confused. "I was forced to read it in school. I needed an extra subject so I chose drama. Luckily, the girl who played Juliet was my girlfriend at the time." All Warrick could was smirk as the scene changed. LADY CAPULETNurse, where's my daughter? call her forth to me.
Nurse
Now,
by my maidenhead, at twelve year old,
I bade her come. What, lamb!
what, ladybird!
God forbid! Where's this girl? What, Juliet!
'Juliet' walked on for the first time. Everyone's jaws dropped and Catherine looked she was about to have a heart attack. There was no way in hell that Sara Sidle was in this, let alone playing Juliet!
JULIET
How now! who
calls?
Nurse
Your mother.
JULIET
Madam,
I am here.
What is your will?
LADY CAPULET
This is
the matter:--Nurse, give leave awhile,
We must talk in
secret:--nurse, come back again;
I have remember'd me, thou's hear
our counsel.
Thou know'st my daughter's of a pretty
age.
Nurse
Faith, I can tell her age unto an
hour.
LADY CAPULET
She's not fourteen.
"Dude, a thought just occurred to me." Greg whispered.
"What?"
"If Grissom is Romeo and Sara is Juliet, that means Grissom has to kiss Sara." Warrick's head turned back to Sara.
"This I have got to see."

By the time the party scene was about to start, the nightshift knew what Grissom and Sara were in for. Catherine couldn't keep the smile from her face if she wanted to.
ROMEO
To JULIET If I
profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine
is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth
that rough touch with a tender kiss.
JULIET
Good
pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion
shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do
touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
ROMEO
Have
not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
JULIET
Ay,
pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
ROMEO
O,
then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant
thou, lest faith turn to despair.
JULIET
Saints do
not move, though grant for prayers' sake.
ROMEO
Then
move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by
yours, my sin is purged.
Grissom rased Sara's hand to his lips and placed a gentle kiss on
the back of it. JULIET ROMEO
Then have my lips the
sin that they have took.
Sin from thy lips? O
trespass sweetly urged!
Give me my sin again.
This kiss, however, was placed nowhere near her hand. In fact, he
still held it in his as he dipped his head, placing his lips softly
on hers, in what looked like a well-rehearsed manner. Warrick had one
arm around Catherine's shoulder to stop her from jumping in her
seat, the other covering her voice to muffle any noise that made it's
way out. JULIET Nurse
You kiss by the
book.
Madam, your mother craves a word with
you.

Catherine was nearly thrown out twice after witnessing what they thought was Grissom and Sara's first kiss. Act II began as Catherine eagerly awaited their next scene together. Grissom was 'hidden' as Sara appeared on the balcony in a pair of flannel pyjamas.
(The scene is really long so we'll just skip a bit. At some point Grissom has climbed the 'tree' near the balcony. They share a kiss somewhere in this scene and they got married)

(this, ladies and gentlemen, is the fight. I know, a skipped a lot, but if the read the play, you should know what happened. If not, LOOK IT UP!)
a group were playing basket ball while delivering their lines. The other group and
Grissom entered before a fight broke out between Mercutio and Tybalt
ROMEO
Draw, Benvolio; beat
down their weapons.
Gentlemen, for shame, forbear this
outrage!
Tybalt, Mercutio, the prince expressly hath
Forbidden
bandying in Verona streets:
Romeo grabs Mercutio and stands between the two men.
Hold, Tybalt! good Mercutio!
TYBALT under ROMEO's arm stabs MERCUTIO, and flies with his followers. Romeo easers Mercutio to the ground.
(They exchange words. Mercutio dies in Romeo's arms.)
ROMEO
Alive, in triumph! and
Mercutio slain!
Away to heaven, respective lenity,
And
fire-eyed fury be my conduct now!
Re-enter TYBALT
Now,
Tybalt, take the villain back again,
That late thou gavest me; for
Mercutio's soul
Is but a little way above our heads,
Staying
for thine to keep him company:
Either thou, or I, or both, must go
with him.
TYBALT
Thou, wretched boy, that didst
consort him here,
Shalt with him hence.
ROMEO
This
shall determine that.
(Romeo runs at Tybalt and pushes the blade into his stomach. He falls. Romeo drops the knife and stares at his hand in shock and fear.)
BENVOLIO
Romeo, away, be
gone!
The citizens are up, and Tybalt slain.
Stand not amazed:
the prince will doom thee death,
If thou art taken: hence, be
gone, away!
ROMEO
O, I am fortune's
fool!
BENVOLIO
Why dost thou stay?
Grissom runs off stage
(This is where I skip again. Grissom and Sara are now in 'her' room. Grissom is staring at the night sky, which is the audience with Sara's arms wrapped around his waist from behind. She is wrapped in a night gown, he is nothing but a pair of grey boxers. (The mental images that is giving me right now))
JULIET
Wilt thou be gone? it
is not yet near day:
It was the nightingale, and not the
lark,
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear;
Nightly she
sings on yon pomegranate-tree:
Believe me, love, it was the
nightingale.
ROMEO
It was the lark, the herald of the
morn,
No nightingale: look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace
the severing clouds in yonder east:
Night's candles are burnt out,
and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.
I must
be gone and live, or stay and die.
JULIET
Yon light
is not day-light, I know it, I:
It is some meteor that the sun
exhales,
To be to thee this night a torch-bearer,
And light
thee on thy way to Mantua:
Therefore stay yet; thou need'st not to
be gone.
ROMEO
Let me be ta'en, let me be put to
death;
I am content, so thou wilt have it so.
I'll say yon grey
is not the morning's eye,
'Tis but the pale reflex of Cynthia's
brow;
Nor that is not the lark, whose notes do beat
The vaulty
heaven so high above our heads:
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.
JULIET
It is, it
is: hie hence, be gone, away!
It is the lark that sings so out of
tune,
Straining harsh discords and unpleasing sharps.
Some say
the lark makes sweet division;
This doth not so, for she divideth
us:
Some say the lark and loathed toad change eyes,
O, now I
would they had changed voices too!
Since arm from arm that voice
doth us affray,
Hunting thee hence with hunt's-up to the day,
O,
now be gone; more light and light it grows.
ROMEO
More
light and light; more dark and dark our woes!
Enter Nurse, to the chamber as Romeo pulls on his jeans.
Nurse
Madam!
JULIET
Nurse?
Nurse
Your
lady mother is coming to your chamber:
The day is broke; be wary,
look about.
She leaves. Romeo pulls on his shirt
JULIET
Then, window, let day
in, and let life out.
ROMEO
Farewell, farewell! one
kiss, and I'll descend.
They kiss for a few seconds, then Romeo climbs down. They exchange words before Romeo runs off stage.
(Skipping again. I'll just you where to. Juliet is 'dead'. Her body is in the tomb thing and Romeo is about to commit suicide.)
The doors of breath, seal with a
righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death!
Come,
bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide!
Thou desperate pilot, now
at once run on
The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark!
Here's
to my love!
Drinks
O true apothecary!
Thy drugs are
quick. Thus with a kiss
He kisses her lips quickly
I die.
Romeo dies
Juliet wakes up and finds Romeo dead.
JULIET
What's here? a cup, closed in my true
love's hand?
Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end:
O
churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop
To help me after? I
will kiss thy lips;
Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,
To
make die with a restorative.
Kisses him
Thy lips are warm.
First Watchman
Within
Lead, boy: which way?
JULIET
Yea, noise? then I'll be
brief. O happy dagger!
Snatching ROMEO's dagger
This is thy sheath;
Stabs herself
there rust, and let me die.
Falls on ROMEO's body, and dies
(everyone finds the lovers bodies and make trusses etc etc etc)
PRINCE
A glooming peace this
morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his
head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some
shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of
more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
The lights faded and the audience burst into applause. When they rose again, the entire cast was stood across the stage and bowing, Grissom and Sara in the middle. However, only Catherine noticed how their hands were held. Unlike everyone else, their fingers were knotted tightly together. She was about to say something to the others when he director came on to do his closing speech.
"On behalf of the cast and crew, we would like to thank you for attending this evening. Before we go, I have one quick announcement. Two of our cast members are currently involved in their own relationship without the fighting or tragedy." He waited for the laughter to die before he continued. "It is our understanding that, as of last night, our very Gil Grissom proposed to Sara Sidle." The audience burst into applause, Grissom went red and the team was left to pick their jaws up from the floor.
"And of course she said yes."
Even though they were annoyed for not being informed sooner, the team were happy for them.

The ending really sucks but I didn't want to drabble any more. Their happy so I am certain you can be too.
PONCHO SHALL RULE THE WORLD!!
