So I'm finally attempting to update! I've been crazy busy so I'm squeezing in today! :D Also, I realized how soft I made Juliet in the first few chapters but you'll see why soon. Not today, but soon ;) Onward, shall we!
Gnomeo's P.O.V.
"Gnomeo!" Juliet called. I was looking for Shroom, Featherstone and Niagara, but they were nowhere in sight. I heard Juliet and ran to the gate. She stood there, peering through, just waiting.
"Yes?" I asked. She pointed her finger out the gate. I looked out and noticed Spot, the same dog that carried me far away from Juliet months ago. I gasped. He was blocking our way! We couldn't take the risk of getting taken far away from home. Or worse, away from each other.
"Here, hold this." Juliet said, handing me a fishing pole. Not denying, I took it. I noticed Juliet about to walk out there, but I quickly grabbed her wrist.
"What are you doing!?" I asked, worrying about her. But she loosened from my grip.
"Relax, Red Ninja's got this." she smirked, winking. I grinned slightly, remembering the night we met and she was like a sneaky little ninja gnome. She slowly walked out of the gate as I watched nervously. Spot wasn't near her, thankfully. She motioned me to come out with her. We tip-toed to the Capulet's gate and fished for the latch, allowing us in. Just then, Spot came up behind us. We spun around and held each other tight. Juliet grabbed the fishing hook and reached for a squeaky hamburger nearby. She hooked it and tossed the line around as Spot started to go crazy for it. We began to laugh as Juliet tossed the toy to the other end of the alley. As Spot went after it, we took our chance. We ran into the Capulet's garden and slammed the door shut behind us.
"Phew, that was close." I laughed. Juliet laughed along as Featherstone approached us.
"There you are!" he yelled.
"Featherstone! We were wondering where you were!" Juliet laughed.
"We've been here the whole time!" he shouted, slightly laughing. He pulled out a confetti cannon and cracked it open, shooting out confetti. "Happy New Years Eve!" everyone shouted. We shouted it out along with them, and then laughed.
Juliet's P.O.V.
"Gnomeo, come with me real quick." Featherstone instructed Gnomeo, gesturing him.
"Where are you guys going?" I questioned Featherstone, smirking.
"Nowhere." Gnomeo and him replied.
"Uh-huh." I smirked again. Gnomeo gestured Featherstone away and took my hands.
"I love you." he smiled, trying to cover himself.
"Save it, spill it." I grinned slightly, but seriously.
"I can't tell you." he laughed.
"Why not?" I smirked.
"Because, it's man-to-man talk, you know?"
"Mhm." I mumbled, looking away from him.
"Come on, Jules. You'll know about it soon, I swear." he chuckled, making me look him in the eyes. I laughed a sigh and pulled him in for a hug.
"Oh, alright." I giggled. I hugged him tighter and tighter until he began to choke slightly.
"Juliet..I can't…breathe…" he groaned, clutching his hands. I let go but still held him close.
"That's what you get." I laughed, lightly hitting his elbow.
"Very funny, Jules." he chuckled, rubbing his elbow. I laughed again.
"Go ahead, I'll let you go." I chuckled. He grinned and leaned in to kiss me. His lips quickly pressed against mine.
"Love you." he smiled, turning away and running towards Featherstone.
"Love you, too!" I called to him. He waved and disappeared further into the garden. I spotted Nanette and ran towards her. "Hey, Nanette!" I called. She didn't turn around; she just kept staring off into the sky. I couldn't even see her face. "Nanette?" I asked again. No reply. "Hello?" I asked once more. Still nothing. I walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped.
"Oh my gosh, Juliet, you scared me!" she gasped. Her eyes were red. This was odd.
"Nanette, are you okay?" I asked, worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine." she sniffed.
"Where's Paris?" I asked.
"He's with the guys." Nanette sniffed again. She looked like she was about to cry.
"Nanette, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Juliet…I'm scared." she whispered.
"Scared about what?" I asked again.
"The wedding…" Nanette managed to admit.
"Why are you scared?" I chuckled, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"What if I'm not making the right decision?" she sobbed silently. "What if something goes wrong?"
"Nanette, I think you're making a great decision here. He loves you, you love him. And if you think you're rushing, have you met me and Gnomeo? We married in less than 3 days." I chuckled. She chuckled lightly. "Jules, I'm serious."
"Don't worry about it. Everything's gonna be just fine." I assured her.
"You really think so?" she sniffed, drying her tears.
"I know so." I smiled. She hugged me, and I hugged back.
"Thanks, Juliet."
"Of course." I smiled. I pulled out of the hug and raised a brow. "Wanna go spy on the guys and see what they're up to?" I smirked.
"You know I do." she smirked back. We laughed and shifted our way to the guys. We hid behind the shed, listening to them talking.
"She's gonna love it!" I heard Paris say.
"Of course she is!" Gnomeo exclaimed.
"You think I should do it now or-" Paris began. "No, do it then." Featherstone cut him off.
"And what about you, son?" My dad asked.
"I've got my own plan." Gnomeo chuckled.
"Juliet, what are they talking about?" Nanette whispered. I shushed her. The boys went silent. I held my breath, expecting them to catch us, but they just went back into a conversation.
"Come on, let's go." I whispered to Nanette. We swiftly made our way to the buffet and made sure we weren't spotted over by the guys. "They're up to something for sure." I told her.
"What were they saying?" Nanette asked.
"Something about giving someone something." I said, trying to think.
"Was it about you?" she questioned.
"I don't think so. It was Paris saying it, so it might've been about you." I replied.
"Wait, Paris is gonna give me something?" she asked, lighting up.
"I think so. I could be wrong." I said, trying to think again.
"Well, guess we'll find out." Nanette said, heading in the guys' direction. But then I stopped her.
"What are you doing!?" I questioned her.
"I'm gonna ask them." she informed me. I shook my head.
"Nanette, they can't know we heard them." I exclaimed.
"I know, I know." she replied, coming back my direction. "So, how will we know?"
"I'll ask Gnomeo about it later. I have my ways of making him speak." I smirked.
"Juliet, you naughty little ninja." she giggled, smirking.
Hmm, the boys have a secret and the girls have a secret. Maybe they'll all get in on it? We'll see ;) Thanks for the reviews and keep on rockin' the power of your imagination! Stay awesome! Love you all :D
