Unbreakable Love
Chapter 3: Hello, Hello.
Author's note: MY HUGE thanks to everyone who read the last chapter!
We got to at least 6 reviews! YAY! And also that is my fee to starting a new chapter, alright? They make me type faster and you get your chapters faster! To anyone who was inspired by this story, please write Gnomeo and Juliet fanfics because we need more! This chapter is the first meeting of Gnomeo and Juliet! LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! (sighs) and my favorite scene!
Also, I'm not really confident with the dialogue, I really need to go see the movie for the third time. So if there are any mistakes, please bare with me, I wish I knew the whole thing by heart.
Another thing, right now, people for or not for switching the title is 1 against, and 2 for. I'll switch if I get to 5 or more votes.
Although I don't know the whole script, I know this whole thing almost by heart! It took me two hours to write so BE NICE!
Yes, I don't own Gnomeo and Juliet, or the story, as much as I want to. But I will be getting it when it comes out on DVD in May!
I'll never forget the first night I saw him.
I ran down the alley, making sure that there weren't any more dogs that may tear me in half like the last one did. I swear, between humans and dogs, I'm not really sure what's worse. Humans pick us up and throw us around like we're not even alive and probably will have no sorrow if we get smashed. Dogs on the other hand, treat us as if we're really chew toys! Ok, maybe someday, if a dog doesn't attempt to chew me into little pieces and spit them, I might educate them on the difference between soft chew toys and hard rock and glass things. It doesn't make any sense, people think dogs are so smart, and that gnomes are just little useless things that add nothing to life except looking good in a garden. I'll have them know that we are a lot smarter than dogs. You know why? Because we don't bark and we can actually talk, and tell the difference of what and what not to put in our mouths! It's maddening! Honestly, I don't know whose morals in life are crazier, my father's or the people living here. But no matter, humans can't be all that bad. I mean, Mr. Capulet gave all of us a home in his garden, and we've been safe all these years, and he never got a dog either so, we're protected.
As soon as I found the gap that I was sure would lead straight to the Greenhouse with the Cupid's Arrow Orchid on it. Before I left, I snuck back to the tree and calculated a route to the greenhouse and back without getting caught. All I had to do was be quick, get the flower, run back without being seen, and get back on my pedestal before 10 o'clock when my dad came in to check on me. This was the only way to get him to leave me alone, for at least three hours. And for anything to ruin the Blue Garden, I would take any risk. The eery moonlight guiding my way, I found some dead vines to climb the green house. Now, here, after I found them I fell and luckily landed on some dead leaves, because I didn't realize that they were dead, it was too dark in the spot I was at to see really anything. So now it was time for Plan B, and Plan B was climbing the old brick wall to get to the Greenhouse. I wasn' t a fan of climbing and I wanted to show off my story of how I got the Orchid by myself, but at this point, I kinda wanted to get home before another dog came, or if a Blue was out here. So I minded my surroundings, and found a stick that I could use. I pole-vaulted onto the stone cold brick wall, and now, I realized with enough light, that the Greenhouse was far away from where I was standing, and so I decided to run. I wasn't aware that someone was watching me.
I ran across the brick wall at light speed, (my version) and when I had gotten far enough, I wanted to show off a little and feel for a moment like I was free. So while running, I did a triple sumersault and landed with such skill and grace. That would win a Gold Medal at the Olympics if they would let Gnomes compete, or if they knew Gnomes could actually talk. Once I landed, I looked around to see if anyone was following me, but I dismissed that anyone would be out at this time of night, and I continued to run until I reached the Greenhouse, but there was a huge gap, and that wasn't a problem for Juliet because I am smart despite the Red Gnomes think otherwise. I noticed a branch that looked like it could pull back pretty far, so I pulled on it and it launched me to the roof. I brought my mask down to show my whole face because I really didn't think I needed to be invisible anymore since there was no one out here, and I started to climb to gain my prize. It was harder to climb than I thought! Reminds me of why I hate it so much. If I had paid attention, I would have noticed the sound of someone else's footsteps. And as I was about to grab my orchid, I felt someone else's hand grab it with my own at the exact same time. I felt some sort of feeling, something I had never felt before. I looked at the hand in confusion at first and then up to the owner, and time stopped.
And as I looked up at him, my eyes widened at the sight of him, I couldn't breathe nor think, my heart beated wildly, the whole world stopped, time itself stopped for both of us, as I stared at the Gnome in front of me.
He was without a doubt the most beautiful Gnome I had ever seen, I drunk in the sight of him. He was in good shape for a Gnome, usually they're pretty heavy, ask my cousin Tybalt, he's bigger than all of them. He had markings all over his face and hat which didn't surprise me because he probably lived here but he still had duck tape all over his torso, but even with them, he was still beautiful. He had a traditional white beard for male gnomes, a little of his golden hair was sticking out of the top of his hat and a scratch on the right side of his face that I for some reason, wanted to touch. It was amazing to me how beautiful he actually was in my eyes.
What stood out the most for me were his eyes, I never seen any like them, they were so blue, they were the color of the sea. They were so beautiful. And here I was supposed to be hating the color blue and with him I just couldn't bring myself to. When he looked at me with those eyes, I got lost in them, and they made me forget everything else but him. He seemed to be lost in my eyes as well, he seemed to be just in my world as I was in his. He smiled warmly, like I've seen people do, but his was completely different, and when he did, I smiled back at him. We both just continued to look at each other, taking in every detail, still holding the other's hand, and just looking at each other. I wouldn't have come back to reality unless I fell, which I did when the Greenhouse window I was standing on broke and I fell through, but luckily I managed to hang on to what was left of the window. I looked down, and then up at him, he was holding the Orchid, and gestured with his hand for me to take my free hand and put it in his to get up.
I took his hand, feeling how warm he was, even though it had gotten a little cold this evening, and as he pulled me up, I went into another world. What was wrong with me? I had forgotten about everything, except him. And as he pulled me up, he slipped backwards, and took me with him, I closed my eyes, thinking we were going to fall, which we didn't. Our arms were around each other, and I just realized how tightly I was holding him and he me. We looked at each other for a few moments, and I pushed him off, trying to think of something to say to him. I just wanted to tell him everything about me, and to thank him for saving my life, even though it probably wouldn't have been required if he hadn't grabbed the flower in the first place. THE ORCHID! That's why I had come here. I rubbed my arm and just starting saying things.
"Um..." I said, stuttering. I had never stuttered before around another Gnome, so why was he different? "You're probably wondering what I'm doing on the roof of your Greenhouse... well..." I lost my train of thought again. "It's just, that I thought, no one lived here."
Then to my surprise, he smiled, he said something back, just the same way I did, but he said it more clearly than I thought I did. "Uh, they don't. Oh, I mean I don't. This isn't... this isn't my garden." That voice, it was as soft and beautiful as velvet. I felt my heart race as he said his words, as I tried to figure out what to say next, without sounding as nervous as hell.
"Oh! Well that's good, because I just came to get that orchid." And I just happened to find you.
He held up the orchid a little bit more. "Oh! This?" He raised an eyebrow and had a facial expression that was so cute.
"Yes," I said clearly, but I came to realize, that my desire to have it now, was lower than the amount of how much I wanted him.
He smelled it, and put his right arm on his hip, and brought back a sly smile. "I don't know. I think I'm going to have to keep a hold of this one."
Not that I really cared, but I needed more time with him. So I decided to flirt. "WHAT? Well I saw it first, so why don't you just hand it over?" I said holding my hand out.
"Well, I GRABBED it first." No, we grabbed it at the same time. "Possession is nine tenths of the law." He laughed. "Well, if you want it, come and get it."
"Alright." I kicked the window below me and the Orchid went flying in the air. "Thanks."
But then I fell again, and the Orchid was right in his hands again, just like I had planned. He leaned on the window.
"Nice greenhouse, eh?" he said.
I smiled as I looked up at him. "Oh, yeah, you should see it from here."
He scoffed. "What? And miss this view?"
I smiled even more, and wanted to laugh, but I wanted to spend as much time with him as I could even though I didn't even understand why. So I pulled the window he was standing on and grabbed the Orchid while holding on to his boots. There was a nearby pole we could both walk on and there was a gap that he could jump on to get the Orchid back, so when I continued to walk on it, he did exactly what I wanted. He gave me this look that was priceless.
"Who's your gnomie?" he said playfully.
Although inside it was cute, the outside Juliet pretended that it sounded ridiculous.
"Who's your gnomie?" I asked annoyed.
Then at that point, the pole broke in two and he fell, and I got the Orchid back.
"Who's your Gnomie now?" I said tossing to him a nearby light that he could swing on.
I knew he grabbed it and was right above me because I heard him softly laughing. I smiled when he wasn't looking, and he took the flower away again using the lamp, and I used my fishing rod to pull the lamp back. It almost seemed to me like he wanted me to stay as much I wanted him to stay but he wasn't showing it either. I yanked his lamp back, and it broke and it came flying my way and I grabbed it back. I smiled slyly at him and then I saw the lamp coming at me at full speed and I let go and the Orchid went flying. Lucky for me I landed on some soft bags, I didn't know what they were for, and really I didn't care. I found that I didn't even care about the Orchid. I looked at him and he was laughing. The Orchid fell to the ground and we both ran towards it, but I slowed down a little for him to get it. Once he did, he looked at me, and swung it playfully to show off his prize. I rolled my eyes, and laughed, and raced after him. He ran to a branch along the water, he seemed a little discouraged when he didn't find me, but I was there, right behind him, holding on to the Orchid, trying to get it back again. We both tugged at it and then spun around in a circle.
We came a little closer to each other, my hands were supposed to be on the Orchid but instead they were on his, and he was clutching my hands in his. And he looked at me with those eyes again, and I lost track of the world once again. The Orchid and ruining the Blue Garden really didn't matter anymore. True, I did come for the Orchid, but it seems I got something even better. I knew that I was falling in love with him, and I didn't even know his name or anything about him. He looked at me lovingly with those eyes, and that loving smile of his that made my heart jump, and I forgot about everything else, and we were about to fill in the gap between us when once again, something brought us back to the present. This time, I heard the branch crack, and we both fell into the water. The Orchid landed on a nearby lily pad.
We both fell to the bottom of the pond, I couldn't see at first, because my disguise was gone. Was he alright? Had I lost him forever? But those thoughts were removed from my head when I saw that the markings and duck tape were completely gone, and now I knew why he had had them in the first place.
We looked at each other, and I then I saw his hat, and I looked at him completely, and I wondered how could I have been so stupid? I screamed, and I wanted to punish myself for almost kissing a Blue! AND A BLUE OF ALL PEOPLE! I couldn't believe I had fallen in love with a Blue! No, no, no, no, no. This couldn't be happening! I didn't feel any remorse for it! Something was wrong with me! What was I going to do? I swam up to the surface, thinking I was screaming.
"Oh, no! He's a blue! Not a blue!" I said, thinking my mind was now completely gone.
I swam away and started to run, knowing his garden's hatred of us, he probably would be running in the other direction but he didn't! He ran after me, and I continued to run for home. Home, 4 hours ago, the last place I wanted to be was now the only place I wanted to be. Away from him! This Blue who had tricked me into thinking that he wasn't a savage so he could kill me! I looked behind me and he was still there, and once I saw the hole, I was about to dash for the gate when I ran into someone. It was Tybalt, who seemed angry and surprised to see me. And with him as always was Fawn.
"Juliet!" he said. "You're not allowed off your pedestal, what are you doing out in the alley?"
I could feel the Blue Gnome was still there, Tybalt could never know what had happened.
"Well, I... I could ask you the same question Tybalt." That would catch him off guard, I hoped.
"We're looking for a Blue Gnome, he's an ugly little fella. Got a scratch right here." Tybalt pointed to the right side of his face.
"And his name's Gnomeo," Fawn finished.
Scratch on face? Blue Gnome? Gnomeo?
That matched the description of the Blue Gnome I had almost kissed. Tybalt was wrong about him being ugly, he was beautiful in every way possible, even with the scratch. I didn't care, I still loved him so much. Oh, no, what was I saying? I still couldn't believe it.
"You haven't seen him, have you?" Tybalt asked.
I wanted to tell on him, and I could feel him back there hoping that I wouldn't, but something held me back. What exactly it was, I didn't know. Was this what love could do to a person? Protect the person even though it's wrong and that it wouldn't ever last? I just couldn't give him up to Tybalt. I would never forgive myself. What Gnomeo had done to me in the last few minutes was amazing. I felt something with him, and I couldn't get the words out to Tybalt, instead I said:
"Ugh. No, he sounds awful. No, no. I haven't seen him."
"Well, lucky you. Come on, lets get inside." He grabbed my arm, and we slowly started to walk back to the gate. I looked back heartbroken at Gnomeo who still had that loving stare which I knew was probably fake. I heard him say my name very quietly but I heard it, and it was like honey on his lips. I tried to hold back my tears.
I didn't understand. I felt hatred for every Blue Gnome in the past, why couldn't I bring myself to hate him too?
I hated myself, and I hated more to admit it. My thoughts of loyalty and the Orchid and destroying the Blue Garden were all gone from my head.
I, the daughter of the leader of the Red Garden, had fallen in love with a Blue!
I told myself to feel regret, hate him, never think of a plan to see him ever again, but I couldn't.
What love does to a person, amazes me, but a Blue? To love someone so much, and find it with one person.
But why of all things, did it have to be with a Blue?
That's it! I'm really happy that this caught some reviewers! Sorry about this chapter, I really didn't remember the dialogue, but next chapter will be better because I remember the script! But I am happy you are reading this and hope you stay with this story until I publish the last word. Some of you may be that dedicated, maybe not, you're wonderful all the same! Love you all!
I was wondering, should I switch the title to Unbreakable Love? I'll let you guys decide!
And I think you know what happens next! Hint: EVEN MORE ROMANCE!
Please review! Until next time!
