A/N: Chapter 5 (yeah yeah I don't own DBZ...I WISH I DID!)...
Juliet just sat there looking into the mirror as Cindy did her hair. "Ow!" she yelped in pain. "Sorry dear but beauty is pain you know that", Cindy said. "I know but I just want to look pretty not beautiful for tonight", Juliet said. 'How could I possibly look beautiful when Romeo is not here' she thought. Juliet turned to look at her dress on her bed. It was golden, and was low cut with the sleeves hanging over to show her shoulders a bit. It was tight-fitting on her upper body and got a bit loose on her lower body. The low part of it was see-through, so it had about three or four layers of fabric overlapping eachother each in a different shade of gold. Her shoes were high-heeled, gold shoes that reached the shin and had laces to tie. She was also going to wear a three carat gold tiara with tons of white diamonds in the middle. She liked that outfit a lot. Her hair, already being done, was going to be put up in a neat, tight bun with some curled hair on either side of her face. Her lipstick was a dark and rosey pink, and her eyeshadow and blush were a pale pink, with black mascara and a lot of jewelry. Finally through all the ouches and screams and yelps, she was ready in three hours. She was led to the carriage by Yamucha, who had a "why do I have to be doing this" kind of look. Juliet felt like running away to the dungeon to see Romeo. The ball was to be held at Dragon Manor, the place for royal parties such as the one being celebrated tonight. It was pretty far from her house, which she thought was ridiculous, so the ride took about forty minutes. When they got there, Yamucha nearly jumped out of the carriage as his dirty eyes met Juliana's- the crazy, dumb blonde that Juliet hated so much. Juliet lightly stepped out with her father and walked quickly into the manor trying to ignore the disturbing sight of Yamucha playing with Juliana's hair. She entered to a world of chit-chatting and soft classical music. The ceiling was covered with pictures of Roman gods and goddesses, angels, etc. Itwas beautiful. After she was complimented and greeted by about thirty people, the butler led her to a special table for her and her father and Yamcha who was still playing with Juliana far off near the entrance. The table was raised higher than the rest, and had gold chairs with a dark red table cloth. She just sat there, bored. Drinking white wine with her father, who also looked a little bored. But then she saw Robert coming up to them to ask Juliet to dance. She accepted and took his hand as he led her to the not-so-crowded dance floor. "Where is Bulma?" she asked as they started to waltz to a slow-beat song. "She's over there by the snack table. It's ok she insisted I danced with you because you might be feeling a little down", Robert told her. "A little down is an understatement. This whole party has got me down. I don't want to marry Yamucha. I now that he won't be a good husband and I don't want to live a miserable life with that bastard", Juliet cried. Robert felt very bad now that he knew why she feeling so low. He gave her a friendly smile and said: "Maybe you won't have to marry him. Maybe there'll be some crazy turn of events that'll have your marriage canceled so you can be with the one that you really love. It might happen". "Thank you Robert. That made me feel so much better", Juliet said as she hugged Robert. She let go when she saw Bulma running up to them with an excited and breathless face. "Juliet! The basement! Quick! Go down there!" Bulma said breathlessly. "What!? What for?" Juliet asked her friend. She was very anxious to know. "I saw Romeo there! He spotted and recognized me and asked to see you. He knew about this celebration and escaped to see you", Bulma said to her friend. "Oh! I must go to see him! Thank you Bulma! So much! For being a friend and much more!", she told Bulma. Then she turned to Robert. "And thank you Robert. For making feel better!" she told Robert. She hugged both of them and ran to see Romeo. When she got there, she stood in front of the door with her hands on her knees to catch her breath. Finally, when she regained strength, she turned the knob and opened the door. Romeo knew it was her so he grabbed and swept her off of her feet. He waited in the dark, so Juliet reached up to turn on the light for them. As soon as Romeo saw her face shining in the light, he stared at how amazingly beautiful she was and kissed her, hard but with a lot of love. She kissed back as she wrapped her arms around his neck and moaned in his mouth. She broke the kiss asking "However did you find a way to escape the dungeon?". "Well, I found a small trap door on my wall so I broke it little by little with one of the metal legs from my bed. It was late at night when everyone was off in dreamland so luckily no one saw or heard me", Romeo told her. "Wow", Juliet said. Romeo's arms were getting tired so he set her down. They continued talking and catching up. "How's it been in the dungeon?" Juliet asked. They both laughed. "Terrible. They made us lift heavy weights everyday with no rest at all. They nearly killed me with jogging and exercise!" Romeo complained. Juliet smiled as she said "I wish we could stay in this basement forever", Juliet said when she rested her head on Romeo's lap. She must of dozed off since all she could remember was dreaming of being thrown to the floor. Then, she heard lots of boots stomping on the cold, hard ground. No, she wasn't dreaming, this was real. Then she opened her eyes and saw what she didn't want to see: her angry father with about twenty men behind him. "Juliet. I told you that I DID NOT want you with that boy. You disobeyed me and we will separate you two. For good", her father told her with firey eyes. Juliet looked up at him from the floor, tears coming to her eyes when she pulled at his pant leg. "You can't father. No please! Please father!" she pleaded. He shook her off. "I'm sorry sweetheart, but you will just have to learn your lesson", her father told her. "don't you sweetheart me! You never wanted what was best for me, you wanted to make me miserable! You never loved me!" she screamed. "Take her to the lobby", the Ox king ordered his men. "Go now!" he yelled. the men obeyed the king's orders and lifted her up to take her to the Manor's lobby. She kicked and fussed making her hair come loose and her make-up smudging with her tears. "Let me go! Now!" she screamed. She bawled like a baby for Romeo knowing it was useless since he was probably taken away by now.
Two Hours Later...
Juliet was running in a field of some sort. Everything was so beautiful-the sky, the flowers. She kept running but didn't find what she wanted. But then she saw him, Romeo. She ran faster but that only made it worse since he was moving ever farther. She cried then he reached out his hand. She carressed it and kept hearing her name. "Juliet, Juliet...
She woke up.
"Juliet, Juliet?" asked the blue-haired beauty. Bulma shook her awake. "What?" Juliet asked dumbfounded. "It's ok Juliet. You're in the manor's lobby. You are alright", Bulma assured with Robert right next to her. "No. I'm not alright, it's not alright. Where is my Romeo? Where has he been taken?" Juliet asked quickly demanding an answer. Bulma frowned and gulped. "Romeo was... taken away. To your father's realm. To be punished", Bulma said. "Punished?! What ever for?" she asked frightened. "For seeing you. When he said he didn't want you to be together, he really meant it so he wants Romeo to be...", Bulma did not finish her sentence. "WHAT?!" Juliet screamed. "Beheaded!" Bulma shouted. "NO! There's no way! I'm going to stop him because he can't die!" Juliet yelled as she cried. "No Juliet. You musn't get into mischief", Bulma told her as she grabbed her friend's arm. She shook off. "No Bulma, no. I love him. Too much to just let him go. If he will die, then so will I", Juliet said ever so quietly. She ran away so fast so Bulma ran after. Robert grabbed hold of her arm. "Bulma what are you doing? I don't want to lose you to the king because you were risking your life to someone else", Robert said worried. "Robert. You don't understand. Juliet and I have been friends since we were four years old. I've been through almost everything she has. This is just another day for me. I must help a friend in need", Bulma told her boyfriend. Robert looked at her for a while when he finally said "Alright then I'm going with you". Bulma smiled at him. "I'm so glad you understand", Bulma said. They were in a rush so Bulma planted a quick, but sweet kiss on Robert's lips. Then she took his hand and they ran after Juliet.
Juliet was nearing the castle because she ran as fast as she could to save Romeo. She got in and spotted Romeo- his precious hands in chains and shackles on his feet. His clothes were torn and he had been punched quite a few times. She ran to him and he grinned as a tear ran down his eye. "Juliet my sweet... I", he couldn't finish since Juliet placed a finger on his lips. "Hush sweetheart. I already know about your punisment. And I'm going to stop it", she told Romeo. "You musn't. Or you will be punished also. Please Juliet. One of us has to stay on Earth", Romeo said. "No. If we both must die, then so be it. We will never be happy if we don't stay together", Juliet told her handsome boyfriend. Romeo leaned into her face and kissed her deeply, passionately and Juliet had her hands on his shoulders. He wished he could wrap his arms around her but was held by the painful chains. He broke the kiss saying "I admire your bravery, but you shouldn't. I love you too much!". "I must, I..." she was cut off by the sound of footsteps and hid in the cabinet near Romeo. As she entered there were all sorts of weapons in there-'Hmmmm. Very useful' she thought. She heard men enter and peeped through the crack of the door of the cabinet and saw them releasing Romeo from his confinement. He tried kicking away but knew what was coming. There came the blow-to his gut. He screamed in pain and agony and Juliet screamed too. The men heard her and opened the cabinet to find their prize.
