A/N: Woohoo! I've finally updated! It took me a long time, but I finally updated! Yes! (calming down) Okay... Now that my moment of excitement has ended, let's get going. Starting with...
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!
(nor am I responsible for what the actors will do...(hehe) X))
Anyway, on with the show!
Setting: Verona. A very public place.
(Gregory and Sampson are hanging out near the fountain in the center of Verona. Enter Abraham and his fellow Montague soldiers. Gregory looks up and sees Abraham)
Gregory: (to Sampson) Hey look! There's a bunch of Montagues!
Sampson: Let's flip them off, even though we're pointlessly risking our lives!
Gregory: Okay!
(As Abraham walks past Gregory, he "bites his thumb" at him.)
Abraham: (aggressively) Did you just flip me off?
Sampson: (sarcastically) No, I'm just telling you that you look pretty. Of course, I'm flipping you off!
Abraham: (pulling out his sword) After this, you'll be so messed up, all you Capulets will feel it!
Sampson: (drawing his sword) Bring it on!
(Fight immediately breaks out. Benvolio enters, sword drawn.)
Benvolio: Stop it! You're all crazy!
Tybalt: (enters, sword drawn, lunges at Benvolio) Have at thee, coward!
(Benvolio is immediately aggravated by this comment and fights back)
(Enter Capulet, Montague, and their wives)
Capulet: (sword drawn) Montague!
Montague: (sword drawn) Capulet!
Lady Capulet: WAIT! (everyone onstage stops)
(The Director, who is sitting in the audience watching, speaks)
Director: What is it this time, Lady Capulet?
Lady Capulet: I just think it's not fair that Lady Montague and I don't get to fight each other!
Lady Montague: Yeah, we pretty much just watch our husbands try to kill each other.
Director: This story takes place in the Renaissance! Women weren't worth much during these times!
All the women onstage: HEY!
Director: (realizing he offended some people) I didn't mean it like that! What I meant was that women were mostly keeping an eye on the house and caring for their husbands, not handling weapons and fighting people!
Stage Combat Girl #1: And yet us girls get to fight male Montagues and Juliet gets to hold a dagger during the whole play? (Other women murmur in agreement)
Director: (after a moment of thinking it over) Mmmm…. Alright, you two can fight each other. Just keep it clean, okay? (as they're about to have at it) But I don't have any other extra weapons.
Lady Montague: That's okay. We had something better in mind.
Lady Capulet: (jumping at Lady Montague) DIE!
(Fighting immediately restarts as the Ladies start fist-fighting. After a few moments, the Prince comes onstage with his soldiers)
Prince: Really? I thought we had gotten over this by now. (stops for a second) And are Lady Capulet and Montague fighting?
Director: Don't ask….
Prince: Alright, that's it! (draws his sword and knocks the swords of Capulet and Montague out of their hands. Everyone stops fighting.) If I witness another fight between you two again, you'll die!
Capulet & Montague: Pft! Whatever….
(Everyone leaves except for Montague, Lady Montague and Benvolio)
Lady Montague: Where's Romeo?
Benvolio: Out and about, crying over some girl he met last week. I swear he's gone emo!
Lady Montague: Why do you say that?
Montague: Well, that does explain why he's been covering up his windows with black sheets lately.
Lady Montague: And how he hardly eats at dinner anymore!
Montague: That's anorexic, dear.
Lady Montague: Oh, yeah, right.
(Enter Romeo)
Benovlio: Huh, there he is now.
Montague: (to Lady Montague) Let's give them some time alone.
(Montague and Lady Montague exit)
Benvolio: (to Romeo) Hey, Coz!
Romeo: I'm too depressed to talk. Goodbye.
(Romeo is about to exit, but Benvolio grabs him by the arm to stop him)
Benvolio: Who is it this time?
Romeo: Someone I love who doesn't love me. She's decided to remain chaste.
Benvolio: Doesn't that mean-?
Romeo: YES.
Benvolio: Then forget about her!
Romeo: That's impossible!
Benvolio: Nah, it's easy! Just check out other girls.
Romeo: Then teach me to forget!
Benvolio: (rhetorically) How do you teach someone to forget? You just forget!
Romeo: (crazily) JUST TEACH ME!
Benvolio: (slightly terrified) Okay! (to himself) Well one of us will die doing so….
Benvolio is right. One of them will ;D
Anyway, if you have ideas, send them as a review! I love getting ideas for stories! Next scene is with Peter asking for help with the invite list. Whatever shall I do (hinthint)
Hope you enjoyed!
