Sorry for taking so long to update this story. I have been studying for school, doing tests for five hours on Saturdays and doing homework for four hours straight getting six hours of sleep and having serious writer's block for almost a whole month. I really hope that you guys are still interested in this story. Well enough about me sorrows. Let's get started with chapter 2 of "Romeo and Juliet." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Jimmy and Cindy stopped screaming. They looked at each other and screamed again. Then Mr. Davis screamed "SHUT UP!"

"Mr. Davis," said Jimmy and Cindy a little hoarsely because they had been screaming "how can he/she be Romeo/ Juliet."

"To answer both of your questions," said Mr. Davis sweetly "both of you were practically born to play the roles you were chosen to play." But before Cindy and Jimmy could argue, Mr. Davis interrupted. "The first practice is tomorrow after school. Oh and before I forget, Carl you are playing two parts. You are Romeo and Juliet's father. Good thing they aren't in the same scene."

"But I. But I." stammered Jimmy and Cindy.

"Now I can't take no for an answer." said Mr. Davis "No excuses. Be here after school tomorrow. And of course bring your scripts."

But before they could respond, Mr. Davis interrupted again "Now if you would excuse me I have to go coach my son's little league game in a half an hour and I have to go make reservations for Pizza Hut for the team. So go on and get out of here."

They were pushed out so fast that they continually tripped. After they were so rudely pushed out Jimmy and Cindy started to argue as they, Sheen, Libby and Carl walked home with them.

"Admit it Vortex. You cheated on that rehearsal."

"How can I cheat on an audition, Nerdtron?"

"I don't know you probably sent him a gift basket."

"Yeah, right Nerdtron. Why would I send a gift basket to the director of the play to get the part I was not trying to get?" she said with her hands on her hips. "And besides why would anyone want to kiss you anyway."

"Oh, please Vortex. No one in their right mind would want to kiss you."

"Lots of people would want to kiss me."

"Name 3."

"Well." stammered Cindy.

"I'm waiting Cindy," said Jimmy with a smirk.

"My mom, my dad and my grandmother."

"Very funny Vortex. You know what I mean."

"The people who would kiss me would." Cindy said still stammering. "Wait! I don't have to answer that question."

"Just as I thought, Vortex. You have no one to kiss you. Admit it!"

"Shut up!" said Cindy "Anyway who would want to kiss you."

"Well." said Jimmy stammering just as Cindy was.

"Just as thought. You don't have anyone to kiss you either."

"What do you mean either, Vortex," said Jimmy with a smirk.

"Well what I mean is that." she stammered again.

"Looks like you ratted yourself out."

"Would you guys just please stop fighting! Can't you guys see that it is tearing us all apart!"

Everybody looks at Carl.

"Wow Carl." Said Sheen "You get better at it every time you say it. You are going to be a great actor. You really have to teach me how to that."

"Anytime Sheen."

"Well the good part is that Carl's screaming," said Libby "the bad part is that they look very mad and are stumping to their houses right now."

When Carl and Sheen looked up they saw the figures of Cindy and Jimmy walking to their houses.

"Was it something we said?" said Sheen

~ At Jimmy's house ~ He entered the door a little angry.

"Jimbo is that you?" said Hugh from the kitchen.

"Yeah, it's me dad."

"How did the auditions go?"

"It was O.K."

"So which part did you get?"

"I was Romeo."

"Hey congratulations Jimbo! Hey Sugarboggar come in here quick!"

"What's wrong Hugh," said Judy running in.

"Jimmy's is Romeo."

"Oh that's wonderful, Jimmy," she said running to Jimmy knocking Hugh over causing Jimmy to laugh. "So who is Juliet?"

Then the smile faded away on Jimmy's face.

~ At Cindy's House ~

Cindy stomped in her house a little angry.

"Mom, I'm home."

"Oh, Cindy you're home. How was the rehearsal?"

"Oh. I'm Juliet," she said with a smile.

"Wonderful! And who is Romeo?"

Then the smile faded away on her face.

"It's. its Jimmy Neutron."

"Even better!" she screamed in the house. "You two look adorable together."

But before Cindy could respond to that remark her mother was on the phone.

~ Back at Jimmy's House ~

The telephone rang and Judy went to get it before Jimmy could say who Juliet was.

"Hello. Oh hi. What she's Juliet."

And after Jimmy heard that, he knew that she was talking with Mrs. Vortex

"That's a wonderful idea. We'll meet there in a half- hour? Great! See you there." After she got off the phone she was so happy. "Hugh, guess who is playing Juliet."

"That girl that Jimmy's been talking about um, Beverly. No. Betty."

"No, it's that cute Cindy girl from across the street."

"That's good."

"And to celebrate, we are going to the Olive Garden with the Vortex's."

"Good I'm starving. I hope the have pie."

Jimmy couldn't believe that doing all of this just because he's playing Romeo. But the bad part is that Cindy is Juliet and they are going to eat dinner with them. He went up stairs to change into a tuxedo. When the time came, Jimmy left the house without saying anything because he was shocked they were going to eat with the Vortex's. They went to the Olive Garden and met the Vortex's there. They went inside and the waiter escorted them to their table.

"Good evening," said the waiter "are special today is are spaghetti. It is big enough for two people to eat."

"We will have one of that," said Mr. Vortex "and four chicken parmesan."

"Yes, sir," said the waiter writing it down "and for something to drink?"

"Six Pepsi's."

"Yes, sir I will right back with your orders."

Then the waiter went away. Just then a song played and people started to move toward the dance floor.

"Why don't you and Cindy dance together, Jimmy?" said Judy.

Jimmy and Cindy's head started to say no. But then they saw each other and snarled.

"What's wrong Vortex? You can't dance?"

"I can dance circles around you."

"Then come a show me."

Then Cindy pulled him from the table and to the dance floor. Jimmy was sort of noticing how Cindy looked with her black dress and her hair up. Then he shook it off. Then Cindy noticed in his black tuxedo. Then she shook it off. Then when a rumba song came, Jimmy started to walk away but Cindy grabbed him by the wrist.

"What's wrong, Neutron. Afraid to rumba with a girl."

"I thought you were just tired."

"Then come and dance with me then."

Jimmy put his hands around her waist and her hands on shoulder.

"Don't those kids look cute together," said Hugh.

"Yeah they do," said Mrs. Vortex

Then when the song was about to end, Jimmy dipped Cindy and they looked into each other's eyes. Then people started to clap. They realized that people were watching them saying how cute they were. When they went back to the table, blushing a little, the food had just got there. They had the big spaghetti. They could not believe that their parents had given them the spaghetti to share. But they ate it with saying anything. They started to eat the spaghetti then they looked away a little while eating the spaghetti. But they were eating the same strand of pasta. (If you saw "Lady and the Tramp" it was like this, except they did not kiss. Jimmy saw this right away and cut the strand of pasta, right before they kissed.) For some reason Jimmy saw, just for a second, that their parents were disappointed. Cindy was a little surprised but a little sad but she covered it up. They finished their dinner went home and went to bed.
