A/N: I'm so sorry about this late update! I didn't really get started on this til Saturday so that's the reason! Now, in this story the KND does not exist, just its characters!
Review replies:
Divachick86: I know! I laughed at that part! Chandler is so hilarious...well mildly hilarious. I knew it would bring a smile to your face and it did! Thanks and here's more!
KNDNumber170: Thanks, I try! That scene will be only the beginning of it, no gruesome things. Then, the rating will have to change to M and I'm not going to do that. A M rated story with just one sex scene, not hap-puh-ening! Good luck with that! Thanks! The episode is called The One with All the Kissing, and Chandler and Monica actually kiss with Rachel and Phoebe in the room so he kisses them too. Hope that clears it up for you!
BlueNumbuh4: I knew that! Oh, you hate those? Sorry if you do! No...*shakes head*...no...that's not it! ;)
numbuh435spiritsong: Welcome, newcomer! I'm assure some Bartie/Ginny in the future! Thanks for the compliment!
Disclaimer: I don't own KND or Romeo and Juliet! However, I do own Caitlyn, Kandy, Mr. Trito, Mrs. Hayden and all the OCs mentioned.
~A New Performance~
"'O Romeo, Romeo, brave Mercutio's dead!'"
That was Maurice he, along with Chad and several other actors, on the stage, sounding as dramatic as he could. Opening night was just a few nights ahead, but Mr. Trito and Mrs. Hayden decided to perform the whole play in front of the school just the day before the performance in front of parents. Caitlyn and several other actors/actresses sat in the seats of the auditorium, watching the scene unfold.
"'That gallant spirit hath aspired the clouds, Which too untimely here did scorn the earth.'" Maurice continued as Benvolio.
"'This day's black fate on more days doth depend; This but begins the woe, others must end.'" Chad replied as Romeo.
Currently, they were rehearsing the middle part of the third act. Where a friend of Romeo and a member of Capulet household engaged in sword brawl and Capulet comes out victourious, due to the fatal end of his opponent.
"'Here comes the furious Tybalt back again.'" Maurice recited, pointing in a direction offstage while glaring.
"'Alive, in triumph! and Mercutio slain!'" Chad growled, turning to where 'Benvolio' was pointing to. "'Away to heaven, respective lenity, And fire-eyed fury be my conduct now!'"
Then, a musclar fair-skinned teenage boy entered the stage. He had a mop of dark brown atop of his head, his bangs swiped to the side. The boy wore the official football jersey with tan pants.
Chad faced the boy. "'Now, Tybalt, take the villain back again, That late thou gavest me; for Mercutio's soul; Is but a little way above our heads, Staying for thine to keep him company: Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him.'"
Chad then pretend to draw a sword from his waist. He positioned the invisible sword in threatening pose. The boy faced him and did the same that Chad did, drawing an invisible sword and posed.
"'Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him here,'" the boy replied in a dramatic voice. "'Shalt with him hence.'"
"'This shall determine that.'" Chad replied.
Soon, the two engaged in a battle of remarkable swordship, with dodges and percised lunges. Then, the boy battling Chad lunged forward and acted like the sword he was 'holding' pierced through Chad's chest.
"Cut!" shouted Mr. Trito.
Soon, the actors on stage relaxed and breathed. Chad glared at his opponent as the opponent scooted away from Chad.
"What the hell, Williams?" Chad exclaimed.
"Language, Mr. Dickson," Mrs. Hayden snapped.
"But he is right," Mr. Trito commented. "That wasn't in the script, Alexander."
"Whatever," Alexander rolled his eyes. "I just think why do I have to be Tybalt? I should have been Romeo."
He looked into the audience and winked at Caitlyn. Caitlyn looked digusted with the action.
"Oh please," Chad scoffed. "You just want to be Romeo because you want to kiss Caitlyn. You have since she walked in Mr. Bravio's class last year."
Chad was pissed because he was jealous, but he kept it to himself.
"Who wouldn't?" Alexander smirked suggestively. "Those long legs that can go on for miles, tan skin that's real, long hair for my hands to get tangled in, sassy but kind mouth for mine to kiss, small waist but thick hips to hold on to as I plow into-"
"We get the idea!" Caitlyn's voice cut him off, absolutely disgusted with where he was going. "Now shut up before I threw up my spaghetti or whatever it was!"
"Mine too," Chad mumbled to himself.
"Come on, Caitlyn," Alexander purred, suddenly appearing beside her. He threw his arm over her shoulders, bringing her closer to him.
When did that happen?
"I know you think about it everyday," Alexander wiggled his brows at her.
"Think about what, what they're serving lunch these days?" Caitlyn asked, fully knowing what he was implying.
"You know, doing it," Alexander leaned in close to her ear, whispering softly, "with me." He blew into her ear slowly.
Caitlyn repsonded to his action...by slapping across his face. The slap was so loud that it echoed throughout the auditorum. The others in the room flinched, including the teachers.
Caitlyn glared at him and stood abruptly from her seat. "Do that again and I'll kick your nuts so hard that your great times ten grandsons will feel it."
Caitlyn then stomped to the other side of the auditorum. What the others didn't know was that the guy blew into her ear...and grabbed her butt at the same time.
Chad was huffing a littlt bit, trying to keep his anger in cheek.
Nobody does that to my Caitlyn except me. Chad thought, then blinked. Wait, did I just call Caitlyn mine? Since when do I think of her like that?
~A New Performance~
Chad noticed that his girlfriend was looking around the room. It was the next day at lunch in the cafeteria. Chad still haven't told her about Caitlyn being Juliet and he assumed no one did.
"Would you stop looking around?" Abby snapped, obviously fed up with her looking also.
Kandy look towards her with a glare. "No! I still can't stand the fact that Chad or anyone else has told me who's playing Juliet."
The girls rolled their eyes at her reason.
"You don't need to know everything," Eva snapped, uncharastically.
"If it concerns my boyfriend, I do have to know everything about it, Eva," Kandy retorted back just as angrily.
~A New Performance~
Across the room, Caitlyn was chatting up with Fanny and Patton. The kiss she recieved from Patton, which she obviously did not enjoy, roused suspicions from her that something was going on.
Maybe they were in jail the night of the dance, Caitlyn thought. That would explain why they didn't pick up their phones all Sunday. Then how would explain the kiss? No, I know Fanny; she would never go to jail and Patton might get an earful from his father. That theory is out. What else could they be keeping from me?
"What do you think, Caitlyn?" Fanny asked, bring the girl out of her thoughts.
"What? Sorry," Caitlyn replied, "I was thinking about something. Could you repeat what you were saying?"
"I said that we should hang out at Patton's house or maybe your house," Fanny responded, surprised at her friend spacing out. "You know, he's never been over to your house."
"I would love to hang out, but," Caitlyn groaned, "I have Romeo and Juliet reheresal this afternoon. The show is in a week and we have to be there at every rehersal til then."
"Don't worry," Fanny smiled mischeveiously.
"We understand," Patton waved it off.
This was very out of character for both of them to Caitlyn. Are they implying something?
"Why are you guys acting like this?" Caitlyn asked.
"We know that you have to be there since Chad is Romeo and you being Juliet," Fanny replied, slyly.
"Wait," Caitlyn blushed slightly, "it isn't like th-"
"Okay, listen up!" a familiar voice boomed throughout the cafteria, silencing the room.
Caitlyn looked up to see Kandy standing on her table with her hands on her hips.
What is she up to?
"I want to know who Juliet is right now!" Kandy demanded.
Caitlyn rolled her eyes at her behavior.
"Juliet, make yourself known!" Kandy commanded.
"Okay, this is getting ridicolous," Caitlyn muttered, getting up and walking in front of Kandy's view. "Hey, Kandy?"
"What do you want, Nerd?" Kandy sneered, really not wanting deal with her. "What are you wearing?"
Caitlyn looked down at her outfit, and realized what she was talking about. She was wearing a knee-length dress, with red silk top that three inch strap and flowing black skirt. On her feet, she wore black ballet flats.
"What? Can't a girl wear a dress?" Caitlyn snapped.
Kandy huffed. "Now what do you want?"
"You want to know who Juliet is," Caitlyn replied, "so guess what?" She gestured to her and her body. "I'm playing Juliet!"
There was a collection of gasps for some reason. Kandy was taken aback while her boyfriend face-palmed himself.
"You're playing Juliet?" Kandy repeated.
"Yeah, I am," Caitlyn replied, crossing her arms. "Got a problem with it?"
Kandy got off the table and walked over to Caitlyn. The two stood a good five feet from each other.
"How long have you kept it to yourself?" Kandy asked, glaring at her.
"Depends on how you look at it," Caitlyn replied, "but now it's all out in the open."
"So Chad knew about this and didn't tell me?" Kandy growled, started to turn to her boyfriend.
"He has known it as long as a few jocks and a couple females did," Caitlyn stated, getting Kandy's attention and glare once again. "In fact, a couple of your lunch buddies are the some of those jocks...besides Chad, of course. I'm sorry that they didn't tell you, your highness."
Caitlyn smirked as Kandy fumed. She noticed that all eyes were on her and the Queen Bee. Some of the gazes were surprised/shocked faces. Others with concerned for Caitlyn's life, those include Chad.
"I'll get you for this," Kandy snarled, pointing at her.
"Okay, one," Caitlyn moved her finger from her face, "it's rude to point, but since when do you know any manners at all?" She heard Kandy growl, which make her smirk. "Two, this is none of your business so just leave it!"
"It is my business!" Kandy exclaimed, angrily. "It involves my boyfriend and you!"
"You say it like it's a bad thing," Caitlyn deadpanned, which made Kandy snarled at her.
"It is a bad thing!" Kandy exclaimed, frustrated.
"Listen here, drama queen," Caitlyn glared, poking her in the chest, "it's just acting. Nothing is real in this play."
"The acting is real!" Kandy replied, poking Caitlyn in the chest. "The kissing is real! The dialouge is real! How can it not be real?"
"Simply," Caitlyn moved her finger off of her. "The acting is practiced! The kissing is practiced! The dialouge is practiced! Everything in the play is practiced! It made look real, but only because it was practiced that way! The emotions are faked in this play so you have nothing to worry about!"
Though I wish it was different for me, Caitlyn thought.
"Why oughta-"
Brring!
Without another word, Caitlyn was out of the room.
~A New Performance~
Chad stomped over to Machine Mania with anger expression. He was pissed that Caitlyn told Kandy about her playing Juliet. He wasn't worried about Kandy being harsh on him; all he cared about was what would Kandy do to Caitlyn. Hence, the reason why he didn't tell her.
The emotions are faked in this play so you have nothing to worry about!
Caitlyn's words echoed in his head and his heart sunk everytime. Caitlyn didn't care about him that way, but then the practicing of their scenes says different. Every kiss that they exchanged was passionate and gentle, wether during rehersal or their rooms.
Chad walked into Machine Mania where he found Caitlyn chugging down a soda sitting down in the corner.
"What the hell just happened?" Chad demanded, glaring.
Caitlyn seemed unfazed by his question as she continued to chugged down her soda.
"Hello? Are you even listening to me?" Chad asked, still glaring.
Caitlyn held up her index finger at him, telling him to wait. She finished her drink and pulled away from mouth, breathing deeply as the caffine hit the back of her throat.
"Man, that was good," Caitlyn mumbled with a smile. She turned to look up at Chad, "Now you were saying..."
"Why did you tell Kandy?" Chad asked, glaring at her while kneeling in front of her, "Do you have a death wish or something?"
"Like I'm afraid of that witch," Caitlyn scoffed, "She was being too much of a dang drama queen."
Chad blinked. "Did you just say 'dang'?" Caitlyn nodded. "Caitlyn this is not the south. You can say 'damn' if you mean it like that."
"Chad, I don't like cussing," Caitlyn replied, "And what's wrong with the south? The culture is rich and conservative down there. So what if I say 'dang' and 'heck'? It's my way of cussing."
"Come on, repeat what you were saying about Kandy," Chad smirked, urging, "Instead, of using that word, use 'damn'. Hell, I don't care if you throw in 'fuck' in there."
"Alright, I'll try," Caitlyn cleared her thorat. "Kandy is just being too much of a damn drama queen to knowing that one piece of info. There's no way in hell that's any of her business anyway." Caitlyn realized what she just said and gasped. "I just cussed and-"
She was cut off when she was pulled into someone's arms. "And I couldn't be more proud of you." She heard Chad whispered into her ear.
Chad pulled her close to his chest, hugging like a child would hug their favorite stuffed animal while they were sleeping. He snuggled into her hair and sighed. Chad didn't see the blush on her face when he did that. Chad placed her down where she was sitting, placing himself beside her.
"You know, I was also turned on when you did that," Chad smirked, wiggling his eyes at her suggestively.
Caitlyn just laughed in repsonse and slapped him on the chest.
The emotions are faked in this play so you have nothing to worry about!
Those words entered his mind once again, and his heart sunk even more. He looked ahead, away from her.
"Caitlyn, did you mean that the emotions are faked?" Chad blurted out without thinking.
"I don't know, Chad," Caitlyn replied, "Kandy will just have to believe that. We don't have to do though." She looked at him and took his hand in hers.
Chad looked down at their hands intertwined and back into her brown eyes. They both did something that was unexpecting...
Smiles on their faces as they stared at each other.
~A New Performance~
The week past, with successful practices and costumes fittings. Before they knew it, it was the morning of opening day. The actors and actresses were excused from their classes to go over any last minute practice before they performed the whole play in front of the school.
Students filled up the seats of the auditorum. Fanny and Patton had eager faces, along with the rest of their friends. The girls and guys were all sitting together while Kandy sat with some Sophomore Jocks. Kandy was pissed behind belief.
"Man, a main role for Caitlyn," Abby commented.
"Yeah, she must be nervous," Rachel agreed.
"Nah, she's got this in the bag," Eva stated.
Fanny nodded, when Patton leaned in close to her ear.
"Remamber the deal?" Patton whispered.
"This Saturday. I promise," Fanny replied.
~A New Performance~
Backstage, Caitlyn wasn't a bit nervous. She was wearing a 16th century style maroon dress with her long hair braided and wrapped into a bun. She wore tan makeup to make her skin flawless with red ruby lips.
Luckily, her co-star wasn't nervous at all. He wore a 16th century style white shirt with tights to match. He didn't need any makeup since he was a guy and he didn't felt like the need for it.
"Never thought I see the famous Caitlyn wearing makeup," Chad smirked.
"It's only for the show," Caitlyn claimed.
"I don't care as long as I get to kiss those red lips," Chad stated smoothly.
Caitlyn looked uncomfortable all of a sudden. "Chad, about that. No tongue during the balcony scene. Gentle and chaste. That's means closed mouth."
"So should we save that later at my place?" Chad replied, not really hearing her words.
"Chad, you just don't understand," Caitlyn shook her head. "We can't do that anymore. The only reason we were kissing like that was for the show."
Chad glared at her. "What about the night of the dance? Or the day on your car's hood?"
"You kissed me first," Caitlyn replied, a little too quickly. "What else was I supposed to do? Push you away?"
"So, basically," Chad replied, "you kissed me back because you felt like you had to? You didn't care about me like that?"
"Listen, that wasn't what I meant," Caitlyn explained. "I do care about you. A lot, okay? But what about thinking of Kandy's feelings?"
"Yeah, but Caitlyn, that isn't the point," Chad retorted back.
"Then, what's the point you trying to get out, Chad?" Caitlyn asked.
"The point is that I-" Chad was cut off.
"Three minutes til the show starts," a messenger came up to them.
"Okay," Caitlyn nodded to the messenger.
The messenger left with the stage couple just standing there.
"We'll talk about this later, Chad," Caitlyn put a hand on his shoulder, "Get to your place. You go on before me."
"Fine," Chad nodded, walking away from her. He muttered so lowly that no one expect himself could hear, "The point is that I love you, Caitlyn."
~A New Performance~
The audience grew quiet as the lights in the auditorum grew dimmer.
"'Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,'" a voice boomed throughout the speakers, "'From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whole misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.'"
The curitains were drawn as lights filled the stage and the show officially begin.
~A New Performance~
"...'Yea,' quoth my husband,'fall'st upon thy face?, '" another actress quoted, lauginhing joylessly, "'Thou wilt fall backward when thou comest to age; Wilt thou not, Jule?' it stinted and said 'Ay.'"
It was the third scene in the first act where Juliet, her nurse and mother were in a room of the manor. The nurse just told a story when Juliet was a little girl and her husband made a comment when she fell on her head, implying something that was unholy.
"'And stint thou too, I pray thee, nurse, say I.'" Caitlyn replied, in her dramatic voice, blushing.
Most of the Juniors knew what the statement, including Caitlyn. They chuckled to themselves at the scene.
The girl playing Nurse breathed, "'Peace, I have done. God mark thee to his grace! Thou wast the prettiest babe that e'er I nursed: An I might live to see thee married once, I have my wish.'"
"'Marry, that 'marry' is the very theme,'" the girl playing Lady Capulet recited, "'I came to talk of. Tell me, daughter Juliet, How stands your disposition to be married?'"
"'It is an honour that I dream not of.'" Caitlyn replied simply.
~A New Performance~
Finally, the balcony scene rolled around. Chad hide near the fake bushes of a yellow and purple balcony that was decorated with fake and painted-on flowers.
"'He jests at scars that never felt a wound.'" Chad stated, quietly but the audience could hear it.
Suddenly, Caitlyn appeared on the balcony, wearing a different ensemble than the first act. It was a sliky light sliver gown with two inch straps. Her hair was still in a braid, but it was down. She looked like an innocent child, which ironic because Juliet was thirteen herself.
"'But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?'" Chad speaks in a dramatic voice, but still quietly. "'It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she: Be not her maid, since she is envious; Her vestal livery is but sick and green; And none but fools do wear it; cast it off. It is my lady, O, it is my love! O, that she knew she were! She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that? Her eye discourses; I will answer it. I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks: Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes; To twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven; Would through the airy region stream so bright; That birds would sing and think it were not night. See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand! O, that I were a glove upon that hand, That I might touch that cheek!'"
Caitlyn looked depressed as ever as she recited her line. "'Ay me!'"
"'She speaks:,'" Chad quoted, sill quietly but dramatically, "'O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art; As glorious to this night, being o'er my head; As is a winged messenger of heaven; Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes; Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him; When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds; And sails upon the bosom of the air."
Man, I sounded like a chick poet, Chad thought.
"'O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?'" Caitlyn exclaimed in a dramatic voice. "'Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet.'"
"'Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?'" Chad whispered.
Caitlyn continued once more. "'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part; Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? that which we call a rose; By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes; Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee; Take all myself.'"
Now is the time to make Romeo known to his love, Chad thought.
"'I take thee at thy word:'" Chad exclaimed, dramatically, making Caitlyn flinched slightly. "'Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized; Henceforth I never will be Romeo.'"
Acting in character, Caitlyn raised an eyebrow as stared down at Chad. "'What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night; So stumblest on my counsel?'"
"'By a name;'" Chad replied, "'I know not how to tell thee who I am: My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself, Because it is an enemy to thee; Had I it written, I would tear the word.'"
Soon, the two found themselves close to the scene. While they were conversating as Romeo and Juliet, Chad had climbed up a vine, which a ladder in disgusie, to the balcony while Caitlyn moved closer to the side of the balcony he was climbing up to.
"'O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?'" Chad asked in his character voice.
"'What satisfaction canst thou have to-night?'" Caitlyn countered back.
Chad smirked slightly. "'The exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine.'"
The two leaned in close and touched lips, closing their eyes slightly. Chad followed Caitlyn's rule, gentle and chaste, but no tongue. The two kissed more passionately as the audience went into live-studio audience mode, ooh'ing like the kissing was actually going somewhere. Kandy was the only one fuming at the secne.
~A New Performance~
A while later, the curtains were closed as the lights came on.
"This is a twenty minute intermission," a voice boomed throughout the speakers. "The show will resumed after that."
"Man, ain't Kandy mad?" Abby laughed, looking back.
The others followed her example and looked back. Kandy was red from anger obviously. The display made the others laugh as well. They faced the stage, calming their laughter down.
"Do you think they enjoyed the kisses? Chad and Caitlyn?" Kuki asked, suggestively.
"Girl, they sure did," Abby replied.
"I wouldn't be surprise if those two were making out offstage," Rachel commented.
"Guys, you know about Caitlyn's rule about kissing a taken guy," Fanny explained, glaring a bit.
"We know that, Fanny," Virginia replied.
"But Chad is going out with Kandy," Eva finished for her.
"Caitlyn still wouldn't follow it," Fanny shook her head. "You can ask her. Though, I admit her way of 'cussing' is a bit weird."
The girls agreed with her, saying 'Yeah' and 'I agree'.
"Fanny, you shouldn't talk about Caitlyn like that," Patton stated, glaring abit.
"I agree with Patton," Nigel commented, along with the rest of the boys.
"Caitlyn is your best friend," Hoagie explained.
"And you should accept her way of cussing," Bartie continued.
"And her morals," Wally finished.
The girls knew what they were talking about and instantly felt guilty.
"Caitlyn's been through a lot," Kade voiced.
"And you should be there for her," Patton finished, more directly at Fanny.
The lights grew dimmer as the curtains were drawn.
~A New Performance~
Chad circled Alexander with a fencing sword in his hand, glaring at him. Chad was wearing a silver 16th century-styled shirt with matching tights. This was the fight taking place between Romeo and Tybalt. Alexander had a sword like Chad's in his hand also, wearing a blue 16th century-styled shirt with black tights.
Chad voiced to the boy in a dramatic voice. "'Now, Tybalt, take the villain back again, That late thou gavest me; for Mercutio's soul; Is but a little way above our heads, Staying for thine to keep him company: Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him.'"
"'Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him here,'" Alexander replied in his dramatic voice. "'Shalt with him hence.'"
"'This shall determine that.'" Chad replied.
The two soon clashed their swords and fought. A few times, Alexander lunged his sword towards Chad too close, but luckily, Chad dodged them in time. Suddenly, Chad lunged forward and slid his sword in between Alexander's torso and arms, acting like he stabbed him. Alexander dropped to his knees as Chad draws back his sword for his side. ALexander fell the ground with audible thud, acting dead for the audience.
The audience gasped at the scene.
Maurice, wearing a green 16th century styled shirt and matching tights, walks forward, fantic. "'Romeo, away, be gone! The citizens are up, and Tybalt slain. Stand not amazed: the prince will doom thee death, If thou art taken: hence, be gone, away!'"
Chad nodded and runs off stage to backstage as other actors came from the other side.
~A New Performance~
The final scene of the final act was upon them. Chad walked over to Caitlyn's almost lifeless body that was a over coffin like table. She's acting of course, but she didn't move once. She was dressed in an silver elegant gown.
"' Ah, dear Juliet,'" Chad cried in his dramatic voice,"'Why art thou yet so fair? shall I believe; That unsubstantial death is amorous, And that the lean abhorred monster keeps; Thee here in dark to be his paramour? For fear of that, I still will stay with thee; And never from this palace of dim night; Depart again: here, here will I remain; With worms that are thy chamber-maids; O, here; Will I set up my everlasting rest, And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars From this world-wearied flesh.'" Chad kneeled down to her level. "'Eyes, look your last! Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you; The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss.'"
Then, Chad pulled out a small blue vial.
"'A dateless bargain to engrossing death!'" Chad exlcaimed, opening the vial. "'Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide! Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark! Here's to my love!'"
Chad, then, chugged down the liqud inside, which was just water. To the audience, it was actually poison. He leans down to Caitlyn's face and quoted, "'O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.'"
With that, Chad kissed Caitlyn's lips and pulls away a second later, falling to the floor. His eyes were closed and his arms were sprawled out. The audience gasped at the scene.
A second later, a couple more actors enter the stage and converstate with the events that just happened. Then, the actor playing Friar Lawerance speaks.
"'The lady stirs.'"
With that, Caitlyn raises up from the coffin table and looks at the actor.
"'O comfortable friar! where is my lord?'" Caitlyn recited, "'I do remember well where I should be, And there I am. Where is my Romeo?'"
"'I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest,'" the actor replied, coming forward toward her, "'Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep: A greater power than we can contradict; Hath thwarted our intents. Come, come away.'" He points to Chad's nonmoving body. "'Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead; And Paris too. Come, I'll dispose of thee; Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: Stay not to question, for the watch is coming; Come, go, good Juliet,'"
The actor grabs Caitlyn's wrist before more noise came to the stage.
"'I dare no longer stay.'" The actor simply stated.
"'Go, get thee hence, for I will not away.'" Caitlyn replied, watching the actor walk away.
Caitlyn then turns to Chad, and kneel beside his body.
"'What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand?'" She recited, lifting the hand that was holding the vial. "'Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end:'" She looks inside the vial and see not a trace of it. '"O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop; To help me after? I will kiss thy lips; Haply some poison yet doth hang on them, To make die with a restorative.'"
Caitlyn leans down and kiss his lips, and pulls back, founding not a trace of 'poison'.
"'Thy lips are warm.'" Caitlyn commented.
"'Lead, boy: which way?'" A voice came from offstage.
"'Yea, noise? then I'll be brief.'" Caitlyn stated before seeing something on Chad's belt. "'O happy dagger!'" She snatched the dagger from his belt. "'This is thy sheath;'" She plunged the dagger into the side, but not really stabbing her self. "'there rust, and let me die.'" Saying that last part in a painful strain.
Caitlyn then falls on Chad's body, again dead. The dagger next to her body, not touching her or Chad. The audience again gasped at this scene.
The spotlight dimmed as the other actors came onto the stage and looked at the scene in horror. They then started conversating until the actor playing Prince came forward with a single spotlight.
"'A glooming peace this morning with it brings;'" He recited, "'The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head: Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished: For never was a story of more woe; Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.'"
With that, the curtain was closed. The audience appauladded at the wonderful performance, most of the people giving a standing ovation. The curtain was raised and there stood the cast of the play, with Caitlyn and Chad in the middle with the Capulets on Caitlyn's other side and the Montagues on Chad's other side. The two hold hands as the rest of the cast gave smiles. The casts bowed and the audience went crazy with whistles and 'whoo'ing, appalualeding.
~A New Performance~
The play went on that night but for the parents. They did the play like they did earlier that day, it went perfectly. The play got the same result with the parents: whistles, cheers and appalause.
Little did the students know, there was a newspaper reporter in the audience, reviewing the play. The reporter was going to give the play a little recognition.
And done! Ah, I didn't mean for it to be this long! But it's perfect...

-First, let me address the fact that there is cussing in this chapter! Just so you know, I don't cuss. I write things with cussing in it, but I, myself, don't actually cuss in real life.
-Chad, what you talking about? What is wrong with the south? I live in the south and I love it! Howdy, y'all!
-Oh, so close, Chad! Nearly telling a girl that's not your girlfriend that love her is interrupted by a stagehand. I'm sorry, but you'll say it one day!
-Yeah, I added that whole 'saying things behind Caitlyn's back' thing between the girls because friends pick on friends...do they? Anyway, it's in there and it's going to stay there.
-Again, sorry about the late update! Hope this makes up for it!
-Thanks for the reviews, BTW!
Speaking of which, review...
Luv, Flutejrp
