You are all wonderful and amazing people! Your reviews keep this story going, and, because Romeo and Juliet has got to be the fluffiest play known to Shakespeare, it seemed only fitting that this is up around Valentine's Day. The next real scene part will be up soon!

And Fun Fact: "Wherefore art thou Romeo," really means, "Why are you Romeo," not, "Where are you, Romeo," which is a common misconception. You see, the beginning of the balcony scene is pretty much Juliet talking to herself about how she had fallen in love with a Montague, her enemy. She's asking (the air, moon, sky, stars, her imaginary friend William) why Romeo has to have the last name Montague because if he wasn't a Montague, then their love would be acceptable. However, tis not to be.

Aaaaaaaand with that, I leave you with a disclaimer and another chapter!

Disclaimer: Nope. Still don't own HON or R+J. Sorry.

Act 2 Prologue

(curtain)

Now old desire doth in his deathbed lie,

Rephaim's soooo over Rosaline

And young affection gapes to be his heir.

And this new thingy with Stevie Rae is more than happy to take its place

That fair for which love groaned for and would die

Rephaim thought he loved Rosaline

With tender Juliet matched, is now not fair.

But she is nothing compared to Stevie Rae

Now Romeo is beloved and loves again,

For now he is in love and loved in return

Alike bewitchèd by the charm of looks,

Both bewitched by the others good locked

But to his foe supposed he must complain,

But now he's got to tell his enemy he loves her

And she steal love's sweet bait from fearful hooks.

And she's been hooked by someone she's supposed to fear

Being held a foe, he may not have access

But because he is her family's foe, he won't be able

To breathe such vows as lovers use to swear.

To exchange vows of love with her

And she as much in love, her means much less

And she is just as in love with him, but she much less able

To meet her new beloved anywhere.

To meet her new-found love anywhere.

But passion lends them power, time means, to meet,

But their love lends them power, and time gives them means to meet

Tempering extremities with extreme sweet.

Making the extreme danger all the more sweet.
