A - Funny you should say Lord Capulet needs to have some fun, because in this chapter, he does!

Magenta - The Sims 2 Veronaville actually got me into Shakespeare! So as I say to my mum, you can't say that computer games haven't been educational.

Porphyritic - It's party time!

So, after a week of planning, both sets of teenagers are ready to have their parties. First up we have the Montague boys and Hermia with their party. Tybalt and Rosaline's party will be in the next chapter, which will hopefully be up to tomorrow, but I'm not sure as my brother is having an operation today.

"Ok..." said Hermia, on Friday night "You guys have to hide out here, and then Mercutio is going to play the music. When the music plays, Romeo will throw open the door, you run in quickly, and I'll be upstairs, distracting Eugene. You lot just have to be really, really quiet until then"

"Yes, Hermia!" said Lysander. He turned around "Lips sealed everyone!"

Hermia giggled "See you in a bit!"

She dashed inside and ran up to Lord Capulet's study. He was hard at work, facing away from the door and the window. Perfect. There didn't seem to be any reason to disrupt him yet. It was only when the music began she had to keep him upstairs long enough for the guests to get in.

All week they had been preparing this. Hermia broke into Eugene's study with Mercutio and stole back the Lady Gaga CD. They were going to take the CD Player as well, but then Lord Capulet would have noticed. Never mind. Hermia had a much louder one in her room. Mercutio and Romeo were currently carrying it down the stairs. Benvolio was on the lookout for Lady Capulet and was to distract her, as Hermia was with Lord Capulet. When it was all set up, Romeo would open the door to the guests. Even if Lady Capulet caught them, she wouldn't dare to do anything. Mercutio had told Hermia what he had 'accidently' got her to confess about Lord Capulet. Hermia hadn't been surprised.

During the week, they'd nipped over to Tesco's after school to meet Valentine who bought them the booze. Valentine had a fake ID that his friend Proteus had given him so he was able to buy it himself. Mercutio had simply reminded him of what an amazing little brother he was and wasn't he just the best thing that ever happened to him and the family...? And Valentine had complied.

And whilst in Tesco's, they'd bought some snacks, such as crisps, biscuits, and other non-alcoholic beverages. They'd hidden all the food in Juliet's room, as no one was going inside it. Mercutio and Romeo were also carrying that down. While they were out, Mercutio had even bought another Lady Gaga CD, Born This Way, in order to have more songs to annoy Eugene with. Once or twice they reckoned they'd seen Tybalt in the store at the same time, but Mercutio agreed that his face was so ugly that it was imprinted in their minds forever and they'd see it whether they went. Hermia had to agree, of course. Tybalt was the cousin from hell.

Benvolio hurried along the corridor to her "Mercutio just texted me. He and Romeo are ready" he peered through the door "Can he hear us?"

"No!" Hermia whispered back "Go down there, and tell Mercutio to do it!"

Benvolio gave a squeal of excitement, and dashed off. Hermia smirked. There were a few minutes of silence, and then, suddenly...

"IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU LOVE HIM, OR CAPITAL H I M. JUST PUT YOUR PAWS UP, CAUSE YOU WERE BORN THIS WAY BABY!"

Lord Capulet jumped in his seat, swivelled around "What the..."

Downstairs, Romeo slammed open the front door "Party time! Come in!"

Hermia dashed downstairs as the guests roamed in cheering. Lord Capulet ran after her, to discover the source of commotion.

"Welcome to the party!" shouted Mercutio "Want to dance!"

"No I do not!" roared Lord Capulet "What on earth is this!"

"It's our one week anniversary!" laughed Mercutio "A party to celebrate our survival, after living one week, with you! Get your groove on, and dance!"

Lord Capulet boiled red with rage "TURN THAT HORRIBLE RACKET OFF, RIGHT NOW!"

"What horrible racket?" asked Benvolio "It's silent!"

Romeo and Mercutio chuckled, remembering the last time they blasted Lady Gaga at Lord Capulet.

He rounded on Hermia "You..."

But Romeo dashed in to save the situation "Cool it, Eugene! We went to all this expense, to have a party for you, none the less, to show our gratitude to your kindness in taking us in. After Lady Gaga, you can play whatever music you like. You can even play some old eighties music!"

"You...you threw a party for me?" asked Lord Capulet, bemused.

"Yes!" said Mercutio, Benvolio and Hermia.

"Oh"

"Egues! Egues! What's going on?" gasped Lady Capulet, running into the room.

Romeo pressed a glass of punch into Lord Capulet's hand "Drink up! Cheers!"

Lord Capulet took a sip. Suddenly, he felt free, light-headed, and cheerful "Cool it, wifey!"

"Egues?" said Lady Capulet shocked.

"Chill! Just dance to the music!"

Hermia was killing herself with laughing. Mercutio snorted "Now come on, let's really get this party started! Benvolio, go and fetch a bottle and find a suitable cupboard. We're going to play 'Spin The Bottle' and then we're playing 'Seven Minutes in Heaven' Who's going to be my partner? Romeo? Benvolio? Come here!"
