Disclaimer: I own nothing but the changes made to the play by Shakespeare. There really are no original character after all and so yeah lol. Anyways, hope you enjoy and please review because I'd love to hear from you!

ACT 1 Scenes 2 and 3

"Yay, yay. It's time for the story, the story." Calumon sang as he jumped up and down for joy as Jeri and Takato sat down on the blanket Jeri had spread out under the large tree. Everyone sitting down they watched eagerly for Jeri to take out her lap top, signaling that they could begin where they'd left off before. There was a part coming up and they were all eager to start using their various ideas and opinions to make it a much better party then before. The other one had been rather stupid and they had every intention of making it anything but.

"Calm down, Calumon. Keep your shorts...I mean keep your ears on." Takato began, fumbling what he meant to get across.

"Huh?" Calumon blinked as he gave Takato a questioning look. "Do my ears look like they're going to fall off?" Calumon asked, not sure what he thought of the idea of having his ears fall off. He thought about tugging on them to check but he didn't want to make them fall off unless he was sure that it was okay for that to happen.

"Your ears aren't going to fall off, Calumon. It was an expression." Renamon explained patiently as she tugged on Calumon's ears gently to demonstrate.

"Oh, that's good. I kinda like my ears." Calumon said with a huge grin, glad he wasn't losing his ears, which he'd already decided he really didn't want to lose. "So can we start with the story? Start the party scene? Huh, huh? Can we?"

"Well first we have to write Henry talking to Rika's dad about marrying her and then we have to do a scene with Rika and her mother." Jeri said with a nod as she looked over her Romeo and Juliet book to confirm. "So we'll have to do that first. Shall we begin?" When everyone nodded Jeri smiled at them. "Okay then, I'll start and you guys tell me what to change. This scene isn't really all that important so we'll make it short."

"Jeri, I was thinking." Lopmon said before Jeri could get started. "What if Henry was being forced to marry Rika, like she was being forced to marry him. I don't think that Henry would ever ask someone to marry him when he knew she didn't love him and was being forced into it. He's too honorable for that."

"Good point." Takato said with a thumbs up to the idea. "Okay, then Henry's being forced into marrying Rika, makes sense. Ahh Renamon, I was just joking."

The Play

Henry Paris walked into the room and wasn't surprised at all to see Lord Tamer at the computer as always, glaring at the screen as his fingers flew over the keys, muttering under his breath. He'd been sent by his father to once again confirm the upcoming marriage of himself to Rika and Henry was visibly dragging his feet. It wasn't that he didn't care for Rika, they were good friends in fact. But the idea of marrying her was too horrible to even think about. It would be like marrying his sister Suzi. But their parents had decided and they had no real choice, their parents held the money bags. "Lord Tamer." Henry said in a loud enough voice that it would break through Lord Tamer's concentration as Henry swept down into a quick bow as befitting the lord's status.

Lord Yamaki Tamer looked up from his computer with a scowl, one hand lifting up to push his blonde bangs out of his eyes. "Henry, what brings you here? The party isn't set to begin for a while yet. Damn, don't tell me I've lost track of the time again."

"No, Sir, I am a bit early. My father simply wished me to bring these papers to you and I thought you would prefer them now as opposed to during the party." Henry explained with a sigh as he held them out to the older man who took them from him, carefully skimming them over.

"Everything appears to be in order. I had thought to wait a while for Rika to get a bit older before she married but I suppose since it's to you it really doesn't matter." Yamaki said with a shrug as he set the papers down on the table beside him. His wife was the one that was taking care of these things, not him. He had more important things to do then concern himself with the wedding. "Anything else?"

"No, Sir. I'll leave you to your work. Thank you for your time." Bowing again Henry headed out of the room, not surprised that Yamaki had become so involved in his work that he hadn't even thought to say good bye.

Meanwhile elsewhere in the home

"Alice, bring Rika in here at once." Lady Rumiko Tamer snapped with an angry look on her normally beautiful face as she waited for the servant to do her bidding.

"I told her to come, she should be here any moment, Ma'am." Alice answered with a slight bow though in her opinion the woman didn't deserve even that slight show of respect. The woman was a Devidevimon in disguise in Alice's opinion.

Real World

"Are you sure that's the right description to use, Renamon? Rika's mother isn't that bad." Jeri said looking over at the fox digimon questioningly.

"I think that it fits, besides you need to incorporate some of the original characters attitudes and characteristics as well don't you?" Renamon pointed out wisely.

"She's right, let's keep going." Takato said with an evil look on his face, eager to continue with the scene ahead. "This scene should be a lot different from the original given the differences between Juliet and Rika. So now it's time for Rika to enter and show some of that Wildcat attitude."

Back to the play

"I'm right here, Mother. Don't get your hair in a knot." Rika said as she walked into the room with an annoyed look on her face. She'd been busy planning a card strategy for an upcoming battle tournament and didn't appreciate being interrupted. Of course she didn't like seeing her mother either.

"Rika, what on earth are you wearing?" Rumiko cried with a horrified look. "The party is going to start in twenty minutes and you're still wearing your jeans and that dreadful T-shirt. I laid the costume you're to wear on your bed, why aren't you wearing it and getting your hair and make up done like I arranged?"

"I'm not wearing pink and I told the hairdresser I'd shove his scissors down his throat if he tried to get near my hair. The make up idiot didn't like Renamon either. Seems that she likes wearing fur, not animals." Rika said with a smirk, not about to admit she'd set her digimon on the airhead. "And I am not wearing that thing you call a dress, I will throw myself out of this house's highest window before I go anywhere in that thing."

"Rika Juliet Tamer, don't you take that tone of voice with me." Rumiko snapped, her eyes flashing dangerously. "Now you march your snotty self out of this room, go to your room, and get ready for the party! I expect you downstairs in twenty minutes dressed and ready or do I have to call your father to come talk to you?"

I

"I said I'd go to the stupid party already." Rika snapped back with a defiant look in her mother's direction before turning on her heels to exit the room, Alice following her out, a slight grin on her face as she wondered what her mistress had up her sleeve. Rika had given up too easily; obviously she had plans of her own.

"So what are you up to?" Alice asked as they walked down the hallway towards Rika's room after walking a fair bit in silence.

"As horrific and nauseating as the costume my mother picked out for me is I've decided to go with another costume, one that's more my style." Rika said with a wicked look in her eyes. She might have to go to the stupid party but they couldn't stop her from pulling a few stunts of her own.

Meanwhile outside the household.

"Man this was a really cool idea, Matt. Boy will Kazu and the rest of those morons be shocked and pissed off if they knew we were here crashing their party uninvited." Davis said with a smirk as they stood in front of the gates, each dressed up in costume for the occasion. Davis had opted to go as a robber, wearing all black as well as a black mask to hide his face. Tai had opted to go as Li Syaoran from the anime series Cardcaptors wearing the prince uniform from the second movie looking rather handsome, complete with mask. Matt meanwhile had chose to go as Weregarurumon, shirtless and wearing tight jeans and a mask that hid his face from his mouth up, looking like a Weregarurumon's head. Needless to say they were quite trio and got appreciative looks from the ladies and well as questioning looks as to their identities. A few of the digimon also looked at Gabumon's direction but he was too busy watching his partner to notice.

"Are you guys sure this is such a good idea?" Tai asked, looking over at them questioningly as he looked around them. He wasn't sure that this was the greatest way for Matt to get over Sora and the depression his best friend had been battling with recently. He also noted that Matt didn't look so eager to go now that they were actually here.

"Ah come on, we gotta go in, we got all dressed up and everything. Besides, think how much this will bug the hell out of the Tamers." Davis pointed out with a hopeful look in Matt's direction. After all this had been Matt's idea and a damn good one.

"Lets go, at least we'll get free food since the party is liable to suck." Matt said with a shrug as he walked through the gates and joined a large group of people about to enter into the house. Quick to follow their friend Tai and Davis hurried after Matt and quickly joined the group as they led the way into the house. Gabumon ended up having to leave them as the digimon were having a separate party outside and weren't allowed to come into the house. Gabumon was not happy about being forced to bid them good bye, especially since he knew he couldn't trust Tai and Davis to keep his partner in line. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do.

Walking in the three managed to avoid the Lord and Lady of the house and made their way to one of the corners of the ballroom. The three chatted with each other for a while as they munched on the food they'd snitched from the buffet when Matt's eye was caught on a stunning figure walking down the staircase. "Hey, either of you two know who that babe is?" Matt asked as he pointed in the girl's direction, his food forgotten.

"That's Rika Tamer." A servant said as he came by with champagne and chanced to overhear Matt's question. "She tends to make a statement, doesn't she?"

"Yes she does." Matt agreed absently as he stared at her. So does a powerful renamon compare with crows, as this woman did compare to the other women in the room. Did my heart move till now? forswear it, sight! For I never saw true beauty till this night, Matt thought as he stared at the vision looking cool and collected as she joined the crowd. She was dressed as a renamon, wearing a tight and short yellow shirt, short sleeved to go with her equally short yellow skirt. She worse long purple gloves that went up to her upper arms and high heeled white boots that came up to her knees. Her long reddish brown hair hung loose to her shoulders, her mask in the shape of a renamon's upper face to cover her own. "And I must meet this lady." Before any of his friends could stop him Matt was heading forward towards the girl in question.

"My Lord." Kazu cried as he recognized the man walking around with the other guests. He'd know that bastard's face anywhere "A Digidestined is here! He's crashed the party!"

"Hmmm, looks to be young Matt Digidestined had decided to grace us with his presence." Yamaki observed thoughtfully, as he watched the youth over the top of his glass. "Leave him be, Kazu. My wife will throw a fit if this party is ruined which it will be if you cause a scene with him. Let him do as he pleases for now, we'll remove him discreetly if he causes trouble."

"But, Uncle, we cannot have a Digidestined running around. He's a scoundrel and a rat, the worst kinda guy. He must be removed, I'm sure that Ryo and Kenta will help me." Kazu added enthusiastically. Starting forward, only to be grabbed roughly by his arm which his uncle clasped painfully.

"You will do no such thing, that's an order." Yamaki barked and fearing his uncle's wrath Kazu nodded then went off to find his friend Kenta to whine and complain to.

Rika turned her head to watch the man that approached her with a slight swagger. She appreciated his costume which was a bold statement, unique among the crowds of more conservative and typical costumes. What did he look like under that mask, Rika wondered as he came to a stop in front of her, his lips curled in a suggestive half smile. "Can I help you with something?" Rika asked coolly, curious as to who he could be. She didn't recognize anything about him.

"Care to take a spin around the floor, Rika?" Matt asked with a charming smile on his face as he grinned suggestively at her, wondering whether she'd recoil at the idea or take the dare despite the double meanings that were going unspoken. He got the feeling that she was more then up to the challenge.

"No. I only dance with my equals." Rika answered with a smirk in his direction. He was obviously hitting on her. He was either very brave or very stupid. Well she was not a prize to be won and she wasn't going to be treated as one.

I

"And how would I go about becoming your equal in your eyes?" Matt inquired smoothly, not about to be passed over that easily. Besides this young lady was a puzzle he was determined to solve. He'd never seen her close up before and his fingers were just itching to take off her mask and see the face behind it. He had a feeling it would be as stunning as the rest of her.

"By beating me in battle, or if you want to be technical, beat my renamon." Rika said with a smirk, sure that he would have heard of her prowess on the digital battle field. Her renamon was undefeated and she was known for her ruthlessness. He would back out now for sure.

"Then shall we battle? I'm sure there's some area near the house where we can test our digimon against each other." Matt said calmly though inside he was pumped. He knew well her reputation and the idea of pitting his strength against her was intriguing, as well as pulse jumping. "My digimon is outside mingling with the other digimon."

"Really? Well then lets go retrieve it and we shall see whether you get your dance or not." Rika purred with a sly look, motioning for him to follow her as the two made their way through the crowds and out of the room. In silence they made their way outside and found Gabumon relatively easily. "Renamon." Rika stated simply once they'd collected the small digimon and instantly the large fox appeared behind her, looking down at the much smaller digimon who was to be her opponent. "Still want to fight?"

"Lead on to the grounds, I'm sure you won't argue with the request to allow my digimon to evolve to his next level to make the fight a little fairer? Renamon as well of course." Matt added, not about to back down, especially since it was bound to get very interesting shortly.

Nodding Rika and Renamon began walking off in another direction, Matt and Gabumon following close behind. Matt's mind was occupied with appreciating the swing of Rika's hips while Gabumon worried about the chance that the renamon could very well delete him. He'd heard about this renamon and he was thinking that this was really not going to end well. They finally came to a large area about the size of a football field; obviously a place of training that Matt guessed had been built for Rika and Renamon to train on. Pulling out his digivice Matt turned it on Gabumon who quickly digivolved to his next level. Following suit Rika drew out her own D-Arc and quickly evolved her renamon into a Kyubimon, their digimon at equal level and close enough in size to make things fair. "Shall we begin?" Rika said once they were standing on opposite ends of the field, their digimon in front of them, eyeing each other wearily.

"Let's do it." Matt said with a smile.
