"Damn the nerve of that boy!" Jack cursed and threw himself on a couch on the corner. There was a knock at the door and Jack threw a stuffed animal at it before it opened and Elizabeth stuck her head in.
"Jack?" She looked down curiously and gasped. "Oh!" She jumped into the room and picked up the chicken stuffed animal. "Pecky!"
"Oh," Jack smiled. "'Lizabeth," He stood up and opened his arms in a warm gesture.
Elizabeth ran into his arms and hugged him tightly. "How is the new guy?"
Jack sighed and shook his head. "I've met better men than him,"
"I heard yelling, and when I was coming to see you he passed me, looked mighty mad."
Jack let her go and walked over to his bed and started to file his things away into the closet and drawers. " 'Earn respect, not right given to you.'" Jack mocked in Will's stickly tone. "Ask the bloody eunuch a simple question and I cannot receive a simple answer?"
"Perhaps he had no answer?" Elizabeth offered sitting on a bed with Pecky tight in her arms.
"Or maybe perhaps he was just being a-"
"Jack!" Elizabeth shushed him before his thought could be completed. She stood up and straightened out baby blue tunic sweater and tight flare jeans. "I've come to ask you if you'd like to attend the Modern Version of Romeo and Juliet a play presented by the street team drama club."
"That's a mighty long name."
Elizabeth smiled. "I know, kinda stupid huh? But the street papers review it as the best version of R and J in the whole history of the world."
"How many tickets you got there?" Jack asked spotting a larger wad in her hand, shying behind her hip.
She brought her hand about her body and looked down. "I uh… oh, heh," She smiled.
"What is your real mission Elizabeth?"
She sighed. "Father wanted me to give a ticket to every maid or employee on break today."
Jack crossed his arms. "I see,"
"Oh please? Come on Jack,"
"I haven't the day off."
"I know, but father wouldn't mind me taking you, he knows I fancy you-" instantly she covered her mouth and turned around, blushing deeper then she ever had before.
Jack smiled, crossing his arms behind his head and propped his feet up in the bed. "Aw," he chuckled. "I fancy you a bit too lass," He admitted. "Here, let's say I do go with you to this play, what's in it for me?"
"Hmm," Elizabeth thought for a hard moment. "Let me see here… what can I give you… hmm…"
"You can-"
"No sex!" Elizabeth chimed quickly.
"No!" Jack lurched forward. "But you can kiss me,"
Elizabeth blushed again but bent in and kissed him fully on the lips. She lingered in her kiss then, hesitantly pulled back and watched him.
Jack smiled and sighed deeply. The kiss was nice, he couldn't deny that. Still, something didn't feel right. He shook his head, throwing the odd feeling out and he smiled her at. "Alright, you kissed me, now you may take me to your outted play."
Elizabeth cheered, throwing Pecky at him and ran from the room only to return a moment later, blushing once more.
"Forget something darling?"
"Eh." She chucked. "Wash up, I have to hand out the rest of these, then meet me in the servants entryway out back and we can take my car."
Jack nodded and walked into the bathroom.

Elizabeth found William in the Main House computer room working under the desk reassembling it. She walked in and looked around, once satisfied that no one else was around she tapped Will on the shoulder.
Will jumped and bumped his head on the desk. He crawled out from underneath it clutching his head.
"Sorry," Elizabeth frowned. "Um,"
"Can I help you? I am suppose to be working."
"You don't start work until tomorrow,"
"The early bird catches the worm,"
Elizabeth shook her head. "There's a play going on and my father wanted me to hand out tickets to everyone not working tonight." She handed him a ticket and he took it.
Still rubbing his head he starred at the ticket. "What's it to?"
"Another Romeo and Juliet,"
"Oh I love Shakespeare,"
"So do I," Elizabeth smiled. "I heard it's a great play and afterwards there's a little party at the coffee house, the Red Rooster, and you are more them welcome to go to that as well."
Will looked around at the yet unfinished work. "Why not,"
"Oh goody, get ready and I can take you, meet me around back at the servants entry in a little while,"
"Thank you," he smiled and headed out to his room.
Jack opened the door o Will getting his keys out to open the door.
"Oh," Will stepped up to pass Jack but Jack blocked him. "Excuse me,"
"Uh," Jack side stepped and watched Will pass him ad head into the bathroom. Jack shook his head and walked down to the servant's entry.
Will jumped in the shower and quickly washed up before getting out and dressing in faded blue jeans and a black tang top. He stepped into his boots and laced them up quickly and grabbed his keys, wallet and jacket on his way out. He pulled his hair back into a ponytail as he rounded the corner and stepped out the door of the servant's entry and ran into Jack's back.
"Watch it!" Jack coughed.
"Sorry," Will said and turned away from him.
Jack looked at him before crossing his arms and turning his back on Will.
Elizabeth pulled up in her corvette and smiled at them. "You two look like a cute couple,"
Will blushed slightly and thanked whatever gods existed that it was sunset and no one could tell he was blushing. Jack simply spat on the ground and jumped in the car. Will piled in as well and they took off.

I was going to add so much more, but I decided not too, it would be beckoning an end oh too soon, so this is the end of my chapter! Skitzo's up next with the next exciting chapter. Oh, another reason I ended it, writer's block, and as one writer put it, when in writer's block, end the chapter. So I did.
