Disclaimer: I do NOT own IZ, but I wish I did! Rolling in dough! ^_^ IZ is owned by Jhonen Vasquez. I also don't own Romeo and Juliet. That is copyrighted to Shakespeare, I think. I DO own Lan. The other little characters I don't really care about; they just make the story go along.

Author's Note: O_o lookie at all the reviews!! I know I know it isn't a ton, but hey I'm used to being ignored when I write stories! From now on, I'm only going to list the characters for the scene that I'm writing, the rest just take up space! I have changed my name to my IZ name, Laurenstien. Okie dokie, I'm going to start

now…

A/N #2: I know I said I was going to start, but I need to describe Josh. Josh is, as it says, a rich kid about Gaz's age, who likes her, don't ask I don't know! Anyways, Josh is liked by Prof. Membrane, once again I don't know why. Josh is about uh… the same height at Gaz, has sandy blond hair, blue eyes, and has a ton of girls all surrounding him all the time, yet only has eyes for Gaz. Yes, I know what all of you are thinking: Strange kid. O_o

A/N #3: Also, I don't think I described Lan as she looks in disguise. In disguise she is a normal girl, with lilac hair and green eyes and is a little taller then Zim.

Characters for this chapter (3):

1 Prof. Membrane- Lord Capulet

Josh - Count Pairs- young rich kid who, for some strange reason, likes Gaz

1.1 Ben- Stupid Servant- servant who is illiterate

1.2 Zim- Romeo

Lan- Benvolio- Friend of Zim (An Irken Female)

Act 1: Scene 2

{A street in Verona.}

[Enter Prof. Membrane, Josh, and Ben]

Prof. Membrane- But The Tallest are bound to keep the peace as well as I, in penalty alike; and 'tis not hard, I think, for men and… things so old as we to keep the peace.

Josh- Of honorable reputation are you, and 'tis pity you have lived at odds with the Irkens for so long. But now, my intelligent professor, what say you to my suit?

Prof. Membrane- But saying o'er what I have said before: my child is yet a stranger in this world; she hath not seen the change of uh… how old again is my daughter?

Josh- I honestly can't remember, noble professor, but shan't you know the age of your own young?

Prof. Membrane- One of my stature should not be bothered by such trivial things. My youthful children are given one day a year to spend with their wonderful, super toast creating, father. If Gaz whist to tell me her young age, then she would hath done so already, or will do so when our meeting comes. But I invite you to join us at my masquerade party for my young Gaz. So that she may choose whom she whist.

[To Ben, giving him a paper.]

Go, sirrah, trudge about through fair Verona; find those persons out whose names are written there, and to them say my house and welcome on their pleasure stay.

[Exit Prof. Membrane and Josh.]

Ben- Find them out whose names are written here? I am sent to find those persons whose names are here writ, and can never understand what names the writing person hath here writ. I must to the learned. In good time!

[Enter Lan and Zim in disguise.]

Lan- Tut, invader, one fire burns out another's burning; one pain is less'ned by another's anguish; turn giddy, and be helped by turning in the opposite direction; one desperate grief cures with another's languish. Take thou some new infection to thy eye, and the rank poison of the old will die.

Zim- Your plantain leaf is excellent for that.

Lan- For what, I prey thee?

Zim- For your scratched shin.

Lan- Why, Zim, art thou mad?

Zim- Not mad, but bound more than a madman is; shut up in prison, kept without my food, whipped and tormented and – good evening good fellow.

Ben- Good evening, I pray, sir, can you read?

Zim- Ay, mine own fortune in my misery.

Lan- Ignore him, he is in his own world; yes we can read.

Ben- Perhaps you have learned it without book. But, I pray, can you read anything you see?

Zim- Ay, if I know the letters and the language.

Ben- Ye say honestly. Rest you merry.

Lan- Stay fellow, he can read.

[Zim glares at Lan and reads the letter.]

"Signior Martino and his wife and daughters; County Anselm and his beauteous sisters; the lady widow of Vitruvio; Signior Placentio and his lovely nieces; the owners of Weenie Corp. and their daughter Tak."

A fair assembly. Whither should they come?

Ben- Up.

Zim- Wither? To supper?

Ben- To our house.

Lan- Whose house?

Ben- My master's.

Lan- Indeed we should have asked you that before.

Ben- Now I'll tell you without asking. My master is the great rich Professor Membrane; and if you not be of the house of Irkens, but thou can't be Irkens what a laugh, I pray thee come and crush a cup of Poop. Rest you merry.

[Exit Ben.]

Lan- At this same old feast of Membrane's sups the dreadful Tak.

Zim- I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, but to rejoice in splendor of mine own.

[Exit Zim and Lan.]
