Short shapter today! Thank you for your review, Jenni. I had something like that planned! Great minds think alike, hehe :)
Lady Montague loaded her dogs into the back of her car. The one that had bit Tybalt, a Chihuahua called Tinkerbell, was barking and making the most noise.
"Oh, shut up Tinkerbell" said Lady Montague. Juliet sat in the front next to her. She found herself feeling quite fond of the miniature schnauzer, Eddie. He was still practically a puppy. He was very playful, and after a while Juliet realised that all her fears had gone away.
"I didn't realise dogs were this cute. Tybalt always made out that Mercutio's dog was an Alsatian or something"
"Nah, Mercutio's is a Labrador. Sometimes, dogs don't realise they're being aggressive. They think you're playing with them. When you and Tybalt ran away, they thought you were playing. I've kept dogs since I was teenager, and I wouldn't let Romeo near them if they were didn't think they'd be safe"
"Is Romeo fond of dogs too?"
"Yes. Eddie is actually Romeo's dog. He was his sixteenth birthday present"
"Oh, that's nice. He's a lovely little dog"
"The post office is here. I'll nip in, and then we'll go to the shops"
Juliet watched her walk away. Subconsciously, she lifted her shirt and looked at the piercing. She'd kept it clean, and it had stopped hurting. Sometimes, it went a bit red. But other than that, it was fine. Next week she could change it. Perhaps while they were out, she could buy a new bar for it.
Lady Montague shoved a parcel in the boot, and the car vibrated.
"Just the shops now, and then we'll go to the woods. Is there anything you need?"
"No. I'm all right. But I think I'll have a look at belly bars if I see any"
"What do you want one of those for?"
"Oh! Well, I wanted my stomach pierced and Tybalt took me a few weeks ago because he knew dad would flip out if I asked him, and it's almost ready for me to change"
"And you haven't told him?"
"No" Colour flushed Juliet's cheeks.
"Wow. I'm impressed. All I've heard is that you're a goody two shoes who stays at home all day"
'Not after meeting your son' thought Juliet "Well, like Rosaline always says. All teenagers rebel at some point in their life. I suppose I could be doing a lot worse stuff"
