Right, so this wasnt exactly rushed but... I'm not really sure. hmm... Anyways, I decided to have an early(?) update to compensate for last weeks really long one :D
Well, this is really short nnd pretty crappy... but I sort of dont know how I can lenthen it =_= :( I would probably write a backstage scene, but I'm planning on doing it on the chapter before the actual party... which would be in two chapters time... which means two boring chapters before the juicy bits... =A= gomenasai. TT~TT
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PANDORA HEARTS NOR ROMEO AND JULIET
~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~Romeo and Juliet: Act I Scene III~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
"Nurse! Where's my daughter? I need to see her NOW!" Alice began as once again the curtain rose. Seeing no response was coming, she was about to call again when she bit her tongue.
Sharon appeared from the entrance to the stage with her usual sweet smile. "Yes My Lady Capulet?"
Alice gulped; her animal instincts were working again. "B-Big sister… w-would you mind calling m-my da-daughter Juliet for me?" she forced out as she was suffocating from the intimidating aura around the noblewoman, a beat passed before she decided to add a small 'please?'
Sharon seemed to have been more than pleased at this gesture. "Why of course Al—Lady Capulet! I shall call her at once!" she announced with sparkling eyes, holding Alice's hands much to the latter's chagrin.
"JULIET! DEAR WHERE ARE YOU?" the pigtailed girl called in her loudest voice which suspiciously sounded like a squeel
At this very moment, the one addressed has now entered in hi- ahh… her… flowing pink dress. "How now, who calls?" he- she asked in a very convincing feminine voice with a tilt to the head.
Sharon Rainsworth held back a squeal. "Your Mother, young Juliet" she stated calmly.
Juliet, who we all should know is actually Leo, strode pass the young duchess and bowed low to Alice in a way not unfeminine. "I am here dear mother, what is your will?"
"I'll tell you what's the matter. Nurse! Leave! I need to talk to her private-… err a-actually, p-please stay, I h-have forgotten y-you knew my daughters age" Alice stated nervously as she once again felt the ominous aura. Sharon merely curtsied as her smile brightened.
Although Alice was in and off her nerves, Leo seemed unfazed by the Young Lady Rainsworth's character.
"I know her age right down to the hour. 13 years 11 months 11 days and 9 hours right now. I can still remember when he was but a cute little lass 11 years ago. I used to hand feed and nurse her while you and the Lord Capulet were on vacation. She was such a little angel. I taught her a little about romance then although she probably wouldn't remember them now. Oh how I long to see the day when you finally get to meet your own Prince Charming to sweep you off your feet and ask your hand in marriage" Sharon narrated dreamily, now turned towards Leo. Everyone backstage and onstage sweat dropped.
There was silence.
"I was merely jesting my lady" Sharon continued, giving a giggle that could send bad shivers down people's spines. Alice gulped again.
"Y-Yes" the B-Rabbit coughed. "A-Anyway, apparently there is marriage involved in this situation" she stated "So, what do you think about getting married?" she asked Leo.
Leo gave a thoughtful look for a moment before smiling "It is an honor I that I do not dream of. However I fear that I feel much too young to marry" he (cause she isn't really so proper is it?) recited.
"Well, apparently there are girls much younger that you who gets married already here in Verona. In fact I was one of them too" Alice recited airily. "The Clown Count Paris just asked me if he can marry you" she broke in.
Sharon's aura darkened considerably as she heard those words. "Count Paris is it? Oh he's the perfect gentleman as if he's sculpted from wax! He's quite a rare catch you know, how lucky" she stated, once again with her bone chilling smile.
Alice was intimidated as she turned to Leo again. "Soo, what do you say about that? Anyways he'll be coming at tonight's feast so go see him yourself. I'm supposed to see cheesy lines here that says some weird things about the clown that were supposed to make him look good, but take my word for it and run the moment you see him go near you. Anyways, about the feast… is there going to be any meat?" she asked, dreamy eyed.
Sharon just squealed at the cuteness and replied "Yes there will be meat Little Alice. And I do give the same advice Little Juliet, please don't hesitate to maim him if he ever does anything unjust" a dreamy smile to match violet eyes etched on Alice's face at the thought of the meat… ok so it was only dreamy in Sharon's perspective, to others it would have looked very hungry with the drool dripping on one side of her mouth.
Leo merely sweatdropped at the two's words and actions.
(From backstage, Xerxes Break crouched just behind the curtain holding a handkerchief to teary eyes 'Alice-kun, My Lady Sharon, sniff'. Emily just cackled on his shoulder. "There there Break. It's okay" Oz tried to comfort. "Thank you Oz" Break sniffed, face getting a little brighter. "Elliot said that Leo was pretty bad at self-defense so you'll be fine" Oz continued with an obviously mischievous smile "… Oz-kun TT_TT")
Alice seemed to finally snap out of her daydream as she felt something hit her head, that something came from backstage and she glared back at it, only halting when she saw the signboard in Oz's hands saying 'sorry', completely ignoring the sobbing Break who was now growing mushrooms at the dark corner of that side of the stage. "Hmph. Fine" she mumbles as she turned her attention back to Leo "So, what'dya think about it?" she asked.
"… I'll think about it" Leo replied. "I'll look at him and try to like him, at least if what I see is likable. But I won't let myself fall for him any more than your permission allows" he recited. Alice nodded, and Reim took it as time to make an appearance.
"Madam, the guests are come, supper served up, you called, my young lady asked for, the Nurse cursed in the pantry. Everything is in complete disarray. I must hence to wait and serve. I beseech you, please follow straight"
"Yeah yeah We're comin. So Juliet, remember what I told you and run when you see the albino Clown okay?" Alice stated as she followed Reim out. Sharon soon followed with the suggestion of "And do please be careful, you may use any means necessary, although I highly suggest maiming"
And thus Leo was left alone to ponder. "What a weird bunch. I wonder how Elliot's doing" he mumbled as he walked out himself.

Again, I'm sorry about the really short and pretty crappy not to mention boring chapter DX I couldnt really make it any better because it's only that scene =A= Now that I think about it... maybe I should've just joined this one with the next scene to make it go faster...
*sigh*
Anyways, Please tell me what you think of it :) I'll try to update the next one soon so that I can work on the party
