Later that night, Kat was walking around by herself at the party while Julia was having the time of her life on the dance floor. Kat just had to get out of there. A couple of men had asked her for a dance and that's just the last thing she needed.
So there she was walking around and trying to get away from it all. She stopped in her tracks as she noticed she was nearing what else but a fish tank! (just like in the 1996 movie version of Romeo and Juliet) Fortune really has its way of mocking her. She wanted to turn away but there was an unexplainable force pulling her to the fish tank. Before she knew it, she was standing in front of the fish tank. She felt pathetic for hoping to see a true knight appear from the other side. Just then she heard a familiar voice from behind.
"Hey there bright angel."
But it was not Jeremy.
It was Mr. Bailey.
Kat turned to face him.
"Mr. Bailey! Great to see you!" Kat greeted. "It's been ages since the last time we did."
"Yeah, it's been ages," Mr. Bailey said nodding. "But this setting, it's familiar isn't it?"
"I guess…" Kat mumbled.
"Listen up Kat, I'm now working on theater. How would you like to do another play with me?" Mr. Bailey asked.
"Oh that would be a pleasure."
"I have this plot you see," Mr. Bailey said. "A man and a woman played Romeo and Juliet during their younger years. Years after, they ran into each other and decided to find out if things would have worked out for Romeo and Juliet if they didn't die. So then the man and woman decided to get marry at the spur of the moment…"
"You knew about Jeremy and I?" Kat gasped.
"Yeah," Mr. Bailey nodded. "Everyone regarded it as an April Fools gag but I knew better than that. I've worked with you 2; I've seen how you were together. There's an undeniable sparks on and off the stage," Mr. Bailey said knowingly. "It didn't happen then but I knew one day it was bound to."
"Well then I'll think about your theater offer," Kat said with a weak smile.
"So how do you think the plot would end?" Mr. Bailey asked.
"Tragic,"
"Romeo and Juliet had a tragic ending. One tragic ending should be enough don't you think?" Mr. Bailey pointed out. "Oh wait, there's Michelle Piney, I'll just say hi to her please excuse me."
Kat smiled at Mr. Bailey and let him excused himself.
"One more thing Kat," Mr. Bailey said before going over to Michelle. "The only advice I can give is go girl, seek happy nights to happy days".
