Chapter 9: "Where Fore Art Thou Romeo?"
Hey guys! Long time, no write! SERIOUSLY! I'm sooo sorry i haven't written in a while. Life's been hectic & crazy, and i've been lazy...lol. Well here's the auditions. I really don't think this chapter is as good as the previous ones, but you'll be the judge of that. I really don't have any ideas for the 10th chapter so if people would mind and give me ideas that'd be great!
Wednesday wasn't as eventful as the day before. But Thursday definitely was. Thursday
was the day of the auditions and Wizard Lessons. Luckily, Dad was letting them go to the
auditions, but they had to attend the Wizard Lessons for about five minutes. Luckily, it was just
review.
They all sat in the couch in the Lair, waiting for the lesson to begin.
Their Dad walked in and said, "Ok, since Alex and Justin have an audition soon, this is
just going to be a quick review. Who has any questions?"
Max raised his hand quickly.
"Yes Max?" their Dad said as he pointed at Max.
"Yeah, can we go over the Truth Spell again?" Max asked.
As soon as Alex heard what spell, she panicked. She knew how truthful the Truth Spell was.
After all, she almost blurted out her wizard secret. Alex or Justin could easily admit their dating.
"Do we really have to go over the Truth Spell again? I mean I've done it a million times. We
could take a test and I'd ace it." Alex said, trying to convince her father not to do that spell.
"Well, Max is only on Level 5 and you and Justin are on Level 372," her Dad pointed out. He
then looked at Max and said, "Ok, now the Truth Spell can make any person in the room in
which you cast it in suddenly start bursting out random truths. I highly recommend you don't do
it unless you absolutely have to. And never do it in front of mortals, as you might admit you're a
wizard." he explained, "Ok Max. The spell for the Truth Spell is: Some Are evil, Some are kind,
But now, all must speak their mind. Go and have a wack at it."
Alex was really scared of blurting anything embarrassing or life threatening so she said, "Dad, I
think Justin and I can go now, since we've already learned how to do it." Alex was cut off by her
father.
"No, you're staying. There might be something else you don't understand. And besides it's not
like you have a deep dark secret that we don't know about."
Alex just sat down and gave in.
"Yeah, Alex, Justin. There's no secrets you guys have, is there?" Max asked, while having a
very creepy smile on his face.
Alex looked at Justin and vice versa. They both mumbled, "No, of course not."
"Ok, Maxie, whenever you're ready." Jerry Russo said.
Max closed his eyes and then said the Truth Spell.
There was a whirlwind of magic and that's when Justin and Alex started worrying.
"Did I do it, Did I do it?" Max said, excited to get something right involving magic.
"I don't know. Let's test it." Jerry said. "Justin, what's your inner most deep dark secret?"
Justin couldn't control the next thing that came out of his mouth, "Me and Alex are-"
Alex cut him off by covering his mouth with her hand, "Late for the auditions. Gotta go, bye!"
Alex and Justin then ran out of the Lair so fast, they were out of breath when they stopped.
Back in the Lair, Jerry said, "Well, that was a stupid secret."
Max continued, "Not really Dad, I just think there's a bigger secret that you and Mom aren't
seeing."
Meanwhile, Justin and Alex had made it to the auditions.
"Yay! Alex, you made it! And hi Justin!" Harper screamed as she ran up to them as soon as she
saw them.
"Hey Harper," Alex and Justin said in unison.
"Who are you guys trying out for?" Harper asked.
"Romeo and Juliet," Justin and Alex said again in unison.
"Me too! Well, Juliet. Hope I make it!" Harper squealed.
"Let's get everyone in their seats and then we can start the auditions. If some of you don't know
me, I'm Mrs. Robin, the drama teacher. Ok, here's what's going to happen, you each are going
to have five-ten minutes to perfect your audition and then you will present it."
Justin and Alex already knew what they were performing and didn't need to practice.
When the five-ten minutes were up, Mrs. Robin looked at Justin and Alex and said, " Since you
two didn't see the need of practicing, you two are going up first. What parts are you doing?"
Alex stammered and said, "R-romeo and-ddd J-juliet."
"Ok, now get up there." Mrs. Robin stated, swishing her hand up towards the stage.
Justin and Alex walked up towards the stage and looked up at the audience.
"We're going to do the famous balcony scene, but we are going to do the modern version of it.
Since that version just seemed to be more easier for us at the moment," Justin explained to the
crowd. He looked over at Alex and noticed she looked like she was nervous so he whispered into
her ear, " You're going to do great." The whisper followed by one of Justin's cute grins.
They then got into their positions and started performing as Romeo and Juliet. Romeo was
hiding by a wall while Juliet was walking out of her house and talking to herself about Romeo
being a Montague and her a Capulet. Juliet just says, "I" or sighs, and in response to that Romeo
says, "She speaks. Speak again, bright angel."
Juliet says the famous line, "Romeo. Romeo. Where Fore Art Thou Romeo?" she steps more
outside, towards the family's pool.
At the mention of the name "Romeo", Romeo thought he had been spotted. But that was not the
case, she was just talking about him.
Juliet then continued to say, "Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or is thou will be sworn and
I'll no longer be a Capulet."
Romeo, still hiding from her says, "Shall I hear more. Or shall I speak at this."
And Juliet continues, "It is but my name that is my enemy. Thou art thy self. What's Montague?
It is not hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part belonging to a man. Oh be some
other name." She sighs and continues to say, while Romeo silently creeps up behind her,
"What's in a name? Thou with we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. So
Romeo would more not Romeo called." She sighs again and continues to say, "Romeo, doth thy
name, before thy name which no part of me take all myself."
By this time, Romeo is inches away from Juliet. He scares her, which obviously makes her
scream, by saying, "I take thee of my word."
In the movie version Juliet gets so scared that she grabs onto to Romeo and they fall into her
pool. But Alex and Justin decided to leave that part out, since there obviously was no pool
around. Instead, they skipped a few lines to make the audition shorter.
Juliet stated to Romeo, "If they see thee, they will murder thee."
Their audition ended in a passionate kiss. When they were done, the crowd was just staring at
them, until Mrs. Robin said, "Um, very good performance. I saw why you didn't need to
practice. You guys may go. Call backs will be announced tomorrow."
Alex and Justin were so happy at this point. And they did what she said, they left the auditorium
and couldn't wait till the call back list tomorrow.
Like it?? let me know by reviewing! :) I literally watched the Romeo&Juliet balcony scene (ok swimming scene) from the modernized version of Romeo & Juliet with Claire Danes & Leonardo D. and typed what I heard from it into this chapter. I love that movie. I think it was the first I ever heard of Romeo&Juliet. Again, sorry i haven't been on as much. I've been not as much of a "Wizards" fan as I'd like to be. I still love Wizards & all...but i just LOVE H20 more! (it's a "New" show on Nick...soooo good!)
