Chapter 4

In a deserted attic...

Juliette: Now, where is my Benvolio?

Mercutio: I don't know! I've only just been revived! Not an hour ago was I dead!

Juliette: I don't need to hear your excuses! Rachel, get the 'persuasion device'

*Rachel appears with an item in her hand*

Rachel: This will make you talk!

*Mercutio looks at the item.*

Mercutio: Is... Is that a garlic presser?

Juliette: Yes! Once you have smelt the garlic and have tears streaming down your face, eyes stinging, you will reveal all to us!

Mercutio: Isn't it onions that make people cry?

Rachel:...

Juliette:...

Rachel: Garlic can also... do that...?

Mercutio: If you say so.

Juliette: Rachel, press it under his eyes and we'll see who's right!

Rachel: Aye aye, Cap'n! *tries to figure out how to work garlic press*

Juliette: Any day now, Rachel.

Rachel: I'm trying! *snaps it in half* Oops.

Mercutio: *mouths "Why?" at the sky*

Juliette: *grabs Mercutio by the front of his collar* You're going to tell us everything without the garlic press!

Mercutio: Everything?

Juliette: EVERYTHING!

Mercutio: If you insist!

In some street in Verona...

Sasha: *collapses* I can't take this! We've been walking for ages! My feet hurt, my lungs are burning, and I can't take another step!

Tybalt:...We've only been walking for five minutes.

Sasha: *stands up* Oh,...right.

Tybalt: -_-

In some abandoned tomb...

Romeo: *sits up, stretches, and yawns* My, my! The guy at the drug store wasn't kidding! That sleeping potion does wonders for the mind! You should try it, Juliette. *looks around* Juliette? Juliette? Where is she? *gasp* I hope her parents didn't decide to cremate her! It seems an awful lot of trouble to try to get a wedding dress to fit on an urn...*stares off into space dramatically with lips pursed like he's a shampoo model* I wonder...I wonder if maybe she thought I was dead and decided to leave me for Benvolio and has a revived Mercutio locked in an attic and is interrogating him?...Naaaaah! That'd never happen!

Back to the deserted attic...

Mercutio:...and that was how I saved Benvolio from being eaten by a cow when we were five!

Juliette: What does this have to do with where Benvolio is?

Mercutio: *ahem!* Don't you know it's rude to interrupt someone in the middle of a story?

Rachel: But, we've been here for an hour!

Mercutio: Well, you'd better get comfortable, ladies, because I still have to tell you about my 8th birthday party!
