Chapter 6

"What just happened?" Juliet whispered.

"The race started and the two drivers just took off!" Violetta whispered back, before looking back at the race. Tybalt and Gnomeo raced off in the alley. Tybalt took the lead but Gnomeo quickly passed by him much to his annoyance. As they continued to race, the audience cheered. The Blues cheered for their beloved blue hero while the Reds cheered for the Red they secretly feared. Violetta smiled as she watched her friend racing faster than Tybalt. Tybalt tried to swerve into Gnomeo but he would end up missing Gnomeo by an inch. Gnomeo would quickly speed up when Tybalt tried to swerve into him.

"Violetta, who is winning? The Blue or the Red?" Juliet asked. She is not sure how much of a good racer the Blue is. Knowing Tybalt, he would cheat no matter how talented the Blue might be.

"The Blue is winning!" Violetta answered. Just then, Tybalt finally bumped into Gnomeo, trying to throw him off. Violetta gasped. She hoped that Gnomeo wouldn't get hurt! Thankfully, there was a cardboard box on an orange cone, being used for a ramp. So Gnomeo drove on the ramp and flew into the air. Tybalt looked mad and confused as Gnomeo winked at him.

"Awesome! Violetta whispered.

"What's happening now?" Juliet asked, again.

"My friend, the Blue, just drove onto a ramp and flew into the sky! I bet he'll win!" Violetta said confidently.

"Just one more question. What is your friend's name?" Juliet said, skeptically. How could a vicious and hateful Blue be so kind and caring to my new friend? I know that Violetta is a Purple; not a Red-but still!

Before Violetta could tell Juliet Gnomeo's name, the kid saw something completely shocking! "OH NO!"

"What? What is it?" Juliet asked, worriedly. Violetta saw Tybalt throwing a small golden pipe at Gnomeo, which caused Gnomeo to spin in the air before falling off from his lawnmower. Gnomeo landed in a stack of spare tires and sadly watched his lawnmower fall to bits. Tybalt just laughed at Gnomeo before turning around and heading back to the finish line. Gnomeo got up and struggled to pick up the blue lawnmower which just lost its discs, and screws. Tybalt crossed the finish line as Fawn and the reluctant red gnomes cheered for Tybalt. Violetta turned from the fence to Juliet and explained what she just saw.

"Why am I not surprised?" Juliet asked. "Don't worry, we'll confront about this!"

"Why would he care?" Nanette strained. "And you can you two please get off my back now? It hurts! OW! My back! My back!" Violetta quickly got off of Juliet before Juliet got off of Nanette. Feeling sorry for Nanette, Juliet rubbed her friend's back.

"I'm sorry Nanette. I didn't mean to hurt your back," She whispered.

"Oh, that's fine!" Nanette breathed. "My back will be fine soon! (I hope)." Just then, Tybalt and the other Reds barged in through the Red Gate door, cheering. Tybalt just stood there with a smug smile and flexing his muscles in an obnoxious manner. Lord Redbrick walked over to him.

"So, Tybalt, how did the race go?" Lord Redbrick asked, warmly.

"The race was great! The Blues won't be racing anymore because I won!" Tybalt gloated.

"No you didn't; you cheated!" Violetta shouted, as she, Juliet, and Nanette joined the surrounding Reds. Tybalt glared daggers at the kid, causing the kid to shrink a little in fear.

"OH YEAH!?" Tybalt howled back. "Prove it, you little twerp!"

"She saw you cheat, Tybalt!" Juliet chastised. "Violetta saw you throwing a Blue off his lawnmower by throwing a pipe at him!" That caught Tybalt right off guard because his eyes widened at Juliet's statement.

"Tybalt is that true?" Lord Redbrick gasped. He didn't know how Violetta manged to see Tybalt race despite the fact he put her and his daughter on the pedestal, but what he's concerned about was whether or not Tybalt cheated.

"Well..I-uh-that is-I-uh...," Tybalt stuttered. Then in a small voice, he said "yes."

"What's that? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Lord Redbrick yelled.

"Yes!" Tybalt responded in a normal loud voice. Lord Redbrick's face became white as a bed sheet.

"Oh no, this is bad; very bad!" He panicked, putting his hands on his head.

"Dad calm down!" Juliet said, rubbing her father's shoulders.

"Okay, so maybe I did cheat but hey!-It's just a race!" Tybalt grumbled, defensively.

"No, no, not only that, Tybalt!" Lord Redbrick cried. "It's more than just a race!"

"What do you mean?" Violetta asked, innocently as she and the Reds looked at their leader oddly.

"It means that the Blues now have a good reason to attack us!" Lord Redbrick shouted. All the Reds gasped! Everybody-except Tybalt.

"Oh please!" He scoffed. "What are they going to do, Uncle? Put a sign on our gate saying, 'Tybalt stinks'?" He laughed at his joke.

"I'm serious Tybalt!" Lord Redbrick shouted, again. "Because of your cheating, the Blues might try to attack us! And I want you, Fawn, and the little red gnomes to be on the lookout tonight, do you understand?"

"Yes, Lord Redbrick," Tybalt, Fawn, and the little red gnomes replied.

Back at the Blue Garden, Gnomeo and Benny desperately tried to fix the broken blue lawnmower. No matter how hard they tried to put it back together, it just wouldn't stay still. Gnomeo growled as parts of the lawnmower fell off.

"Great. Just great!" He grumbled. "What's Mrs. Montague going to say about this?"

"What will your Mum say about this?" Benny asked, panickedly as he desperately tried to screw a nail back onto the blue lawnmower. No matter how hard he tried, he can't screw the nail tight. "Ugh! Why won't this go down the hole!"

"Um, Benny?" Gnomeo said, raising his eyebrow at Benny's clumsy screwing. "Maybe it's because you're screwing it the wrong way?"

Benny only blinked. Gnomeo sighed as he face-palmed.

"Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey?" Gnomeo said, trying to give Benny a hint.

"OH! Well why didn't you say so?" Benny chirped. Gnomeo shook his head. It seemed to him that Benny is the one missing a few screws. Two seconds later, he screwed the nail in the hole. Suddenly, the blue gnomes marched up to Gnomeo and crowded around him and Benny. They were all just as upset about their loss in the race as their soon-to-be-leader was.

"Gnomeo, you got do something about Tybalt!" "You can't let him get away with this!" "Beat the Reds!" "Show them who's the boss!" They all shouted. Gnomeo got a little frightened at their anger but he didn't show it. "Get revenge on the Reds!" The crowd continued shouting. Gnomeo thought for a while and then an evil smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, Blues. We'll do a sneak attack on the Reds!" He stated.

"Where?" Benny asked. Gnomeo gestured his hand over to the other side of the fence.

"The Red Garden!?" Benny gasped. "No one has ever gone in there before!"

"Hey, remember Violetta?" Gnomeo barked.

"Yes, but she's a wee little purple. That didn't count." Benny answered.

"Nonsense!" Gnomeo argued. "If Violetta could go into the Red Garden, so can we! And payback is going to be fun!"

Later, in the Blue shed, Gnomeo got suited up for his stealth mission. He covered his blue hat with dirt and stuck a few dead leaves on it. He also put duct tape on his shirt and put dirt marks across his face and his arms. Gnomeo pulled out a drill and stared at himself in the mirror. He was ready.

"Shroom, let's go kick some grass!" He said, proudly. Shroom only shook his head in shame. He had a bad feeling that something will happen on the mission.

"Oh Shroom, will you stop your worrying? Nothing bad is going to happen as long as I'm extremely stealthy!" Gnomeo assured. Then he heard Benny's voice.

"Oh yeah? Well check out how extremely stealthy I am!" Gnomeo and Shroom turned around.

"HELLO!" He blurted. Gnomeo and Shroom stared oddly at Benny All they saw was Benny...in a daisy costume...with a blue paint spray can on his back.

Gnomeo felt himself face-palming, again. Really Benny? Really?

Shroom still had a feeling that something might happen at the Red Garden tonight!

I know that this chapter is short compared to the others but it was all I can type in this chapter because I'm trying to balance between this and homework. This story might have parts taken from the movie but I will throw in my original ideas in there so you won't get bored! ;)

Hope you enjoy this chapter (for now). Thank you and please let me know if you have ideas/suggestions!
