You're an awesomely talented writer and you rock! MERRY X-MAS! Sorry I haven't updated in a while… inbox me and I'll tell you why!
(Juliet's P.O.V)
As I left Gnomeo's sweet embrace, I grabbed his arm and led him back over to the party. When we got there, a bunch of kid gnomes, from both gardens, came rushing up to Gnomeo and me. Before we could say anything, the boy gnomes pulled me away, as the girl gnomes did the same to Gnomeo. But they didn't pull us THAT far apart, just too where we could slightly hear each other. They all were shrieking and laughing and asking questions! It was too much! I finally decided to speak up when I couldn't hear anymore.
"Alrighty, now that's enough yelling! Now kids, if you all just want to know a couple of Questions and Answers, then just ask one at a time. And please, no yelling!" I said plainly. That was the biggest mistake Gnomeo and I've ever made! Because the next thing we knew, all the children came up to us, with their hands raised. I let Gnome pick first. Of course, he picked the loudest kid, Harold.
"Gnomeo? Juliet? How did you two meet?" he said while giving us these big puppy dog eyes.
I told him, even though the whole garden was listening." Well, you see, Harold. On the night of the race, I had seen a beautiful orchid, and apparently, Gnomeo and Benny wanted revenge on Tybalt. So, I had Nannette help me get ready so that when I went to go get the flower, in the middle of the night, nobody could notice me. When I left, I guess that's when Benny was able to get back to the blue garden and for Gnomeo to end up in the Old Lawrence place with me, but I didn't know it, yet."
Then Gnomeo spoke the rest." And when I fell, Juliet was on the wall separating the greenhouse, over there, and the ally. The next thing I knew was that I wasn't alone in the garden, but I was accompanied by a ninja gnome! I followed her to the greenhouse. She had an easier time getting to the top than me; all she had to do was pull on a branch, do a flip and she was there! Once I was up to the top, even thought she didn't notice me, she pulled down the part of her disguise that was covering her face, and I was able to get a better look at her. She started climbing to reach the orchid, as did I. we both reached for it, and that's how we met."
At that point, the whole party was just staring at us with mesmerized faces. Then Gnomeo spoke again." Are there any more questions?" there were another couple of questions. I was getting tired so I wanted them to be quick and easy. It was my turn to pick, so I picked Benny.
"So, when Gnomeo was sneaking off, like during the wisteria incident and when we were gonna spray the reds roses, he was with you?" he asked me, kind of surprised.
"Sorry to say, Benny, but yes. Gnomeo was with me, and I'm sorry about the wisteria….. I can't control was Tybalt thinks or does." I said while chuckling a bit.
"And, Benny, the only reason I ran when you wanted me to destroy the reds' roses, it was because Juliet saw me and ran away! I just didn't want her to think that I never loved her. OR that we were THAT evil!" Gnomeo said with an 'I'm sorry, mate' look on his face. Benny just smiled and nodded. "ok two more questions!" I shouted. This time, I picked on my friend, rose. She spoke very quietly.
"So... um. How did you find out you were…. Different colors?" she said as if she was scared to ask.
"Ahhh, now THAT'S something I remember!" I stated proud fully." You see, as Gnomeo said, when we did meet, I wanted the flower. But he grabbed it first. And then, I told him to give it back, but he wouldn't, and he started flirting or something. (I said while giving Gnomeo a playful smirk).At that point, we started playing Cat and Mouse with the orchid, and I ended up chasing Gnomeo onto a branch right above a pond. I snuck up behind him and grabbed the flower; but as I did he twirl me around and we got so close. We leaned in to kiss, but as we did the branch broke! We fell in the pond and our disguises failed us, and we saw each others real colors." I said while some of the other gnomes were laughing.
"Gnomeo, I want you to pick one more gnome so that you can go and sing." I said to him
"Alright. I pick…Tybalt." He said.
Tybalt stood up to where the entire garden could see him."Ok Gnomeo, since Juliet is like a sister to me, I just want to know if you still love her, even when you thought the worst." he said being very concerned.
I looked up at Gnomeo, and he looked at me and smiled." Tybalt. Listen to me when I say that I do love Juliet, more than Adam loved Eve, or Romeo loved Juliet!" he said chuckling at the similarities of our names." She's the reason I live! She saved me. I thought I was alone when I was almost smashed, but I knew that I had to get through and get back! I will always love her, and I will never stop!" he said proudly.
(Gnomeo's P.O.V)
Tybalt just nodded proudly. I looked at Juliet and she was blushing and smiling. I knew that she really wanted me to get up there and sing. Even though I suck! But I'll do it for her." now. Hand me a mic and get the music going!" I shouted. And everyone cheered and led us up to the pedestal. Why did they take Juliet, too? She didn't know this song, did she?
"Juliet? Why are you up here?" I said not mean but weirdly
"Gnomeo. If you payed more attention to the lyrics that the music, then you should know there's a girl that sings part of it to." she said matter of factly. And I smirked and handed her a mic, too.
(Gnomeo, Juliet)
Put your hands up, take it to the floor
You already give me the green light, baby
Put your glass up, pour a little more
You already give me the green light
Eski boy, Roll deep!
I was lookin' for the green light
Who's gonna take me home, yeah she might
The nights so young and I wanna have fun
So I'm gonna keep goin till the party's done
You know I love women, but which ones gonna control me?
'Cuz I wanna be your one and only
You know I love women, but which ones gonna control me
'Cuz I wanna be your one and only
I follow the green cross code, then I cross the road
I follow the signs then I fall on my nose
Seek out my princess, speak on the phone
Eventually I'm a cheat with a stone
No regular seats, I get the phone out
His and her match, we're goin' all out
Your crown and my crown, we're gonna ball out
Take my time, I won't stall out
Stop!
Take a look, left and right
Is it clear for me too go?
Let me know, is it me that you've been waitin' for...
Put your hands up (put your hands up), take it to the floor (take it to the floor)
You already give me the green light baby (I'm giving you the green light)
Put your glass up (put your glass up), pour a little more (pour a little more),
You already give me the green light (I'm givin' you the green light)
That time when I saw ya I thought, wow, so
Check out the skirt on that, now straight to the bar - tequila, lemon, salt
I give her the all clear, letting her know green light, letting her go,
Dropped her from a mile away, thought to myself, why not give it a go..?
I like what I see, face all lit up like a Christmas tree
It's amazing the way she goes, heaven knows what cloud she fell from
Skirts a bit high above the knee, but I know that twinkle in her eye's for me
I said just show me a signal - she flashed red, amber, green.
Stop!
Take a look, left and right
Is it clear for me too go?
Let me know, is it me that you've been waitin' for...
Put your hands up (put your hands up), take it to the floor (take it to the floor)
You already give me the green light baby (I'm giving you the green light)
Put your glass up (put your glass up), pour a little more (pour a little more),
You already give me the green light (I'm givin' you the green light)
Stop, pop, don't drop
Pour me a little (put your hands up)
Stop, pop, don't drop
Pour me a little (take it to the floor)
Stop, pop, don't drop
Pour me a little (put your glass up)
Don't wanna see red now, flash your green lights tonight
All it takes is a week, one smile and a drink
I say a couple words, and she might be a link
I like the fact that she aint wearin' a ring, and she ain't lookin' at him
We're the perfect match, what a good catch
She's 10 out of 10, I've gotta keep that
She's so far gone, the green lights on - I aint gonna turn back
It's a rap
Stop!
Take a look, left and right
Is it clear for me to go?
Let me know, is it me that you've been waitin' for…
Put your hands up, take it to the floor
You already give me the green light baby
Put your glass up (roll deep), pour a little more
You already give me the green light (I'm giving you the green light)
Put your hands up (put your hands up), take it to the floor (take it to the floor)
You already give me the green light baby (I'm giving you the green light)
Put your glass up (put your glass up), pour a little more (pour a little more),

Stop, pop, don't drop
Pour me a little (put your hands up)
Stop, pop, don't drop..
Don't wanna see red, now. Flash your green lights tonight
When the music ended, I felt like falling down to my knees because I was so tired. I could tell Juliet felt the same. She literally did fall to her knees! The whole garden gasped. And I went to make sure Juliet was ok.
"Juliet? Are you alright love?" I said while picking her beautiful head up.
"Yes, I'm alright. I'm just really tired. Do you think we can go home early?" Juliet said in a very seductive way. I almost shivered when she whispered that in my ear.
"Your wish….. Is my command." I whispered to her, making her giggle. I picked her up, bridal style and carried her down the pedestal.
Most of the gnomes were staring and asking if she was ok. Just told them Juliet was a bit tired, and she just needs some rest. I also had to tell mum and Lord Redbrick the same thing. They let us leave ad we went back to OUR garden. While I was carrying Juliet, something must've slipped thought her mind, cause when she shot her head up to look at me, with a worried look on her face.
"Gnomeo, exactly how did you get Tybalt and my dad to agree to let you marry me?" she said. I just thought for a moment, remembering that day.
(FLASH BACK!)
It was a sunny day in the garden, and I was helping mum with the new lilacs when Lord Redbrick walked in.
"I'm looking for Gnomeo." He said not roughly but in a tone of voice that no boyfriend of the fathers' daughter would like to hear. I told mum I'd be right back and to not worry. I put the plants down and headed for the gate where Lord Redbrick was. We walked out into the ally and I knew, then and there, I was as good as dead. Why? Because Tybalt was also out there, waiting for me as well. My heart skipped a beat. Lord Redbrick must've noticed, because all he said was, "don't worry, Gnomeo. We're not going to hurt you. We just want to have a little talk with you about you and Juliet." All I could do was nod and sit on a mushroom in the far corner of the ally. Tybalt sat on one side of me and Lord Redbrick on the other.
"UM… did I do something wrong?" I said while trying to get as far back in my seat as possible.
"No, Gnomeo. You did nothing wrong." Tybalt insured me. Why was he being so nice? I mean, the feud was over and such, but I knew something was up.
"Then are you going to tell me why I'm here?"
"Yes. Gnomeo. Do you really love my daughter? And if you do tell me how much." Lord Redbrick said. Was he kidding?
"Lord Redbrick, are you kidding me? How dare you ask a question like that! Of course I love Juliet. If I didn't then why would I risk everything for her? She's the only reason I try to find the goodness in the day! She kept me alive when I was dying! By hoping for the best! What I'm trying to say is that even if no one on this earth approves of us, I wouldn't care. I love her to much. AND…. If I had to tell Juliet I hated her or die, then I would die. Anything would be less painful then to tell her that." I said that to where my hat almost turned red! (A/N: I just had to put that in there!)
Lord Redbrick and Tybalt just sat there. Not getting mad or angry, just with a look of relief on his face! Okay, now I was sure I was getting punked.
"Lord Redbrick? I'm-"and that's all I got to say before Tybalt said something that really gave me a shock.
"Uncle Redbrick, can we just tell him now? Cause if he answers any more he's gonna have to write a book! Besides, I think he's made it very clear the he loves Juliet. Also, I think he's gonna turn into one of us if he gets any redder!" He said while chuckling a bit. Now let me get this strait… Tybalt is letting me say what I need to, and hasn't tried to murder me yet? 'God am I dreaming,' I thought to myself. Now Lord Redbrick just stood up and instead of hitting me…. he hugged me! And he motioned me to sit back down. So I did.
"Gnomeo, I said all of that just to make sure the you really, honestly, truly love her." He said.
"Well, of course I do. Why wouldn't anyone love Juliet? Everybody likes her. Even In my garden!" I stated.
He chuckled." I know that, now, Gnomeo. It's just that, a long time ago, Juliet met another gnome. He sort of looked like you, blond hair, blue eyes, and tall. He was visiting for a few days to meet with fawn about his brother, (A/N: I don't know if he REALLY has a brother.), and he ended up meeting Juliet. They dated for quite some time, but when they were deepening their relationship, he began to become abusive and violent and quite a pervert! When Juliet was stuck on her pedestal, he made sure she could see him and began to harass other girls. He was VERY abusive, that's why Tybalt and I are so over protective. He beat her, badly. The only thing I thought strange was that they never hugged or kissed or did any of that stuff. Then one night, one of their fights took a turn for the worst. She told him it was time for him to leave because she was done putting up with his crap. He reused and started beating her! She was screaming and crying and begging for him to stop, but he continued until he almost smashed her! There was blood everywhere and when he was done went to go hit on other girls! I just couldn't take it, so he found the worst, deepest, darkest spot under the patio. She barley made it out alive, but she did and beautifully at that. It was almost 3 years since it happened, then she met you. You showed her that she was more than just some item to have when you don't feel like doing anything else. You showed her how to love. How to be free and to have fun. Most important, you taught her that she matters."
I was just stunned. There were no words to express how badly I felt, other than the words heartbreak, sadness and pain. I've never heard a story like that, and it was more painful to hear because it was about MY Juliet. And the worst part of it was that on that night, I did hear someone screaming! Now I feel terrible.
"Lord Redbrick, you must know that that gnome didn't deserve the wonderful girl you have as your daughter. And she didn't deserve what he did to her! I would never do that to her, and if did I would probably kill myself before I could get a breath in! She's my world, and I tend to keep her safe at any cost. I love her and I always will."
"I know. Alrighty, now. Let's go get the tools." Both Lord Redbrick and Tybalt said before standing to their feet.
"Tools? Tools for what?" I asked
"The tools that'll make your wedding rings. Duh! You can't ask Juliet to marry you if you don't have a ring."Tybalt said.
"Wait, you're accepting Juliet and I?" I said with hope in my voice.
All they both said was," welcome to the family, Gnomeo." And we walked off.
(Flashback ends.)
"Don't worry Juliet; let's just say I've got a way with words."
All she did was smirk at my silliness. And I couldn't help but laugh. God I am tired. We got to the garden and entered the greenhouse. I sat Juliet down on the bed and, before I could do anything, she kissed me and pulled me on to the bed with her! We kissed for a while and Juliet some how managed to get on top of me. She smirked a playful/seductive/evil smile and pinned me down.
"Juliet, I thought you were tired?" I said playfully.
"Ohh I was, and still am. WAS, is because I was tired of everybody not leaving us alone. And I'm only tired now is because we're talking and not having any fun."
After that she kissed me again with more passion and force. And it all went down hill from there…
WOAH! I am exhausted! I stayed up until...12:30 am. Finishing this chapter! I'm gonna go to bed… REMEMBER! R&R PLEZZZZ! HAPPY BIRTHMAS!(Idk. My buddy Randall told me to put that there. HE'S AWESOMES!)P.S I'm gonna be writing some kung fu panda stories… any one got any ideas? I'll only do po/tigress! K?
