~~ACT TWO-SCENE ONE~~
*enter JACK*
JACK: Here I come, Juliet!
*JACK climbs up the JACOB'S fire escape*
*enter RACETRACK and MUSH*
RACETRACK: Jack! Where are you?
MUSH: Maybe he went home to the Lodging House.
RACETRACK: No, I think he came this way to find David.
MUSH: In that case, he's a goner.
RACETRACK: You're right; let's go.
*RACETRACK and MUSH exit*
*END SCENE*
~~ACT TWO-SCENE TWO~~
*enter JACK*
JACK: Race and Mush are bums.
*DAVID appears at his window*
JACK: Gee, he's pretty. . .
DAVID: What a day.
JACK: He speaks! His voice is so beautiful. . .
DAVID: Jack, where are you? Now that I think of it, I never really liked the name Jacobs that much.
JACK: Maybe I should speak up sometime soon.
DAVID: Jack, Kelly doesn't fit you, really. You can give up that name, and I'll give up mine, and we can be together!
JACK: Will do!
DAVID: Who is that?
JACK: Well, I don't really have a name right now, mostly because I gave it up about one and a half minutes ago.
DAVID: Jack? Is that you?
JACK: Well, I was Jack, unless you still want me to be Jack.
DAVID: But if I didn't call you Jack, what would I call you?
JACK: I dunno. I guess you can call me Jack.
DAVID: But how did you get up here?
JACK: I climbed. . .
DAVID: Oh. . .
JACK: I love you.
DAVID: I love you too.
SARAH: David!
DAVID: I must go, Jack. But I will be back in a second!
*DAVID slams window shut, unfortunately on JACK'S fingers*
JACK: Owch. At least now I wouldn't try to leave, even if I wanted to.
*DAVID reenters, opening window*
JACK: Thank God you're back.
DAVID: Sorry, Jack. Jack, I've got to go. May I ask you something?
JACK: Anything.
DAVID: Will you ask me to marry you?
JACK: Huh?
DAVID: Think about it and tell me tomorrow. Bye, love.
*DAVID closes the window, this time avoiding JACK'S fingers. JACK sits and absorbs this new information.*
JACK: Gee. . . Marriage. . .
*DAVID reenters*
DAVID: Jack, what time tomorrow do you want to get married?
JACK: Uh. . . Nine works for me.
DAVID: Sounds good. Good night, dear.
JACK: Good night.
*JACK and DAVID exit*
*END SCENE*
~~ACT TWO-SCENE THREE~~
DENTON(Friar Lawrence): Whew! It sure is hard collecting flowers in the middle of Manhattan, New York!
JACK: Good Morning, Denton.
DENTON: Jack! It's good to see you! Oh! Who's the lucky girl? Was it that Rosie?
JACK: Who's Rosie?
DENTON: Maybe not. So who is it?
JACK: I am in love with my worst enemy.
DENTON: You mean the Jacobs' daughter, Sarah?
JACK: No, I mean the Jacobs' son, David. We need an authority to marry us. Will you?
DENTON: Of course, Jack! What time?
JACK: Nine o'clock tomorrow, sharp. Don't be late.
*JACK exits*
DENTON: *wipes a tear from his eye* I do love weddings!
*DENTON exits*
*END SCENE*
~~ACT TWO- SCENE FOUR~~
*enter RACETRACK and MUSH*
RACETRACK: Where's Jack? Didn't he check in last night?
MUSH: Nope. I asked Kloppman. He didn't.
RACETRACK: Did you hear that Skittery, that Jacobs guy, challenged Jack?
MUSH: And Jack's gonna answer it, isn't he?
RACETRACK: Yep, but after all that Rosie whining, Jack's not in that great of shape. I'm betting on Skittery.
MUSH: Is Skittery that good?
RACETRACK: They call him the Prince of Cats. He can fight good. That good.
MUSH: Can I bet on Skittery too?
*enter JACK*
RACETRACK: Hey, Jack. You sure slipped away from us last night! Where were you?
JACK: Go away. You bother me.
RACETRACK: Ow, that hurt. NOT!
*JACK, RACETRACK, and MUSH argue a lot*
*enter SARAH and LES*
MUSH: *gags at the sight of SARAH*
RACETRACK: Dear me, has the sewer backed up again?
SARAH: *glares* Stupid apes.
JACK: Hey, guys, cut it out.
SARAH: Thanks.
JACK: Do you have any news, Sarah?
MUSH: You know the old maid?
JACK: Bye, Race and Mush. *pulls out knife*
*exit RACE and MUSH*
SARAH: Who were they?
JACK: Oh, just newsies who like to hear themselves talk.
SARAH: I could have guessed that much. Les, why didn't you make them stop? Mother said that you were to protect me.
LES: But. . . But they were bigger than I am, and I only have a wooden sword!
SARAH: *to JACK* So are you going to treat my little brother well?
JACK: What happens if I don't?
SARAH: I will hunt you down and neuter you with a toothpick.
JACK: *gulps* I promise he will be treated well.
SARAH: I thought you might say that. David will be quite pleased.
JACK: Tell David that Denton has agreed to marry us. We will marry tomorrow at nine.
SARAH: Where shall I tell him to go?
JACK: To Denton's office. He has all his materials there.
SARAH: David will be pleased.
JACK: Take this penny as my thanks.
SARAH: No really,
JACK: I insist.
SARAH: *grabs penny* Well, when you put it that way. . .
SARAH: Oh, by the way, David picked out some flowers for the wedding. *SARAH hands JACK flowers*
JACK: How pretty! They're black and the vase says R.I.P. on it! Could this be a sign?
*SARAH and LES exit*
*END SCENE*
~~ACT TWO-SCENE FIVE~~
*enter DAVID*
DAVID: Where is Sarah? I sent her and Les to find Jack, the love of my life, and hour ago! What if something went wrong? What if he left? What if- Oh! There she is! Sarah, what did he say?
*enter SARAH and LES*
SARAH: Les, go find mother.
*exit LES*
DAVID: Sarah, why do you look so sad? Is Jack okay?
SARAH: I am tired from running all over Manhattan. Let me rest awhile.
DAVID: *DAVID'S eyes are starting to bulge* Tell me!
SARAH: I don't have enough breath to talk right now.
DAVID: *DAVID grabs SARAH'S neck* You won't have enough breath to LIVE if you don't tell me right now!
SARAH: Okay, okay! Calm down! That Jack is very good-looking, isn't he?
DAVID: I know that! I'm engaged to him! Now tell me what he said!
SARAH: All right! Calm down! How can I be related to someone so impatient? Go see Bryan Denton. He will marry you to Jack.
DAVID: But Bryan Denton is a reporter, not a priest!
SARAH: You know, if this is all the gratitude I get for running your errands for you, you can go next time! *SARAH exits*
DAVID: I wonder what I should wear?
*DAVID exits*
*END SCENE*
~~ACT TWO-SCENE SIX~~
*enter DENTON and JACK*
DENTON: What a beautiful day for a wedding! I hope everything turns out all right!
JACK: I don't care what happens, as long as David is mine! As long as we're together, nothing can go wrong.
*enter DAVID*
DENTON: Ah, here is the fair bride! Or would that be groom? Can you have a wedding without a bride?
DAVID: *DAVID ignores DENTON* Jack! My love!
JACK: David! My love!
DENTON: *feeling left out* Okay, let's start the wedding! Jack, do you take this man to be your. . . uh. . . significant other?
JACK: Sigawhat?
DAVID: He does, and so do I.
DENTON: By the power of the press, I pronounce you man and man.
*END SCENE* SHOUTOUTS:
TO THELONEREED:
Aguachica: I'm glad you liked it. My class had to read Romeo and Juliet last year, that's why I'm making fun of it now. It was pure torture, especially the tests we had to take. I feel for you.
Jack!muse: You mean you aren't writing this just because you like to see me and Davey together? *lip quivers*
Aguachica: Correct. Now go make out or something.
Jack!muse: *happier* Okay! *drags David!muse off*
TO NAKAIA AIDAN-SUN:
Aguachica: I'm so glad you reviewed! Don't be too sad about Blink and Mush being on opposite sides. After all, this is me, isn't it? Being on opposite sides couldn't stop me!
Blink!muse: *pats Nakaia on her shoulder* There, there. Don't worry. After all, Jack and David are on the opposite sides too, and that doesn't stop them, does it?
Mush!muse: Wild fangirls couldn't stop Agua there from putting us together. Just wait and see!
Aguachica: Mush! Don't give away the secret!
Mush!muse: Sorry. *sniffle*
Blink!muse: How could you? *cuddles Mush*
