Thought I'd post all I have. Review.
Cassius
'You're my fairy what?'
'Godmother. Are you hard of hearing or something?'
'But I don't have a godmother, and a fairy one at that. What a stupid idea!'
'YOU ARE DENYING MY EXISTENCE, YOUNG MAN!'
'No. It's just that that's not possible.'
'You sound like Cinderella.'
'Do not.'
'Do to.'
'Do not.'
'Do to.'
'Do-oh for Pete's sake, stop the insanity!'
'Do to!'
'Listen fairy, I don't quite get what you are trying to do. I mean, fairy godmothers are supposed to be nice and are supposed to help you with their magic and all. All you do is tell me that I'm like CINDERELLA. And you can't even do magic. I mean, what are you up to?'
'You have hurt my delicate fairy feelings.
For I can fly,
But I shall cry,
When you say I cannot,
I shall cry,
And I will die,
And you will only leave me to rot.'
She sang the rhyme in an irritating sing-song way that bugged the hell out of Caius.
'Why would you die if I say that you cannot fly, weirdo?'
'I am not a weirdo.'
'Um, yeah sure.'
'I can help improve your loveeeeeeeeee life,
Your love life is in such a mess,'
And you are in great distress.
Without me you can't go faaaaaaaa,
Lalalaaaaaaaaaalalalallaaaaaaaa,
Lalalaaaaaalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Your love life makes me sick,
Makes me want to vo-o-o-mit,
And without me you can't go faaaaaaaaaa,
Lalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-,'
'Oh for Pete's sake,' said Caius.
'You insult my singing, my voice, my
Rhythm, that keeps me going,
Music, it keeps me aliiiiiiive,-,'
'STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!'
'You've hurt my feelings again, little boy-,'
'But I am not a little boy, and you aren't helping me, you're singing. And you're not singing, you're screaming. And your screams don't even make sense,'
'Cinderella would never dare to say such a thing to me,'
'You were her godmother too?'
'No, but she wouldn't dare anyway. I was her stepmother, you know. I play different characters in different stories.'
'Yeah, oh shit, my mobile phones ringing. If you will please excuse me-,'
Saying this Caius picked up his phone. It was Portia.
'Hey Porch, what happened?'
'Check your mail,' came the reply.
'My email?'
'What else?'
'Right. I hope it's not one of your stupid forwards again.'
Marcus Antonius, or Mark Antony. Call him whatever.
'Portia?'
'Yeah.'
Daughter of Cato, wife of Brutus?'
'Um, pretty much so.'
'I'm kind of busy with Cleo right now, if you could call me later-'
'We're having a gathering of all Julius Caesar characters. Kind of like a reunion.'
'Cleo won't let me.'
'Oh come on. It's an important reunion. And people will want you there. You are such an important character of "Julius Caesar", you know. I mean, people love you.'
'Cleo loves me too. And she, unlike you, and any other JC character is HO-O-O-OT!'
'I'm sure she is extremely sexy, but this is important. Very important. More than your stupid mortal mind can imagine.'
'Your mortal mind is also mortal. Hello we are human-,'
'Yeah, sure, whatever. If you don't come, you will repent it. Our lives depend upon this, Ant. Check your mail, without reading it aloud.'
'Sure. But only for you, hold on a sec-CLEO! I GOTTA GO! Sorry, ouch! Aaaaah! No, it's important, I have to go, you need to catch up on your sleep, you've got dark circles-WAIT! NO! You don't have dark circles! You're really pretty, sorry beautiful! Owww…I meant sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxy. Sexy sexy Cleopatra. - No, it's a friend. Ju had a fight with Cal, he's crying. Crying, Cleo, Crying. I must help him. He might commit suicide-no, I know he is dead. Oh. You meant I will be? Be a little understanding. ARGH! O THE PAIIIIIIIIN! I mean you are very understanding. You should rule over all. Especially Egypt. Yeah, go to sleep. Yeah, I'll do the dishes tomorrow. Yeah, for the next millennia. Yeah, for the next two thousand millennia. Swear. Would I lie to you Cleo? Yeah, good-night.'
On the phone he said, 'You will pay. This had better be good.'
'It is,' said Portia.
'Okay, I'll check my mail. And he hung up.
He stretched his arms and looked at Cleopatra, curled up like a cat. A bossy bossy, dominating over everyone cat.
'That's my Cleo,' Antony murmured to himself, yawned and walked to his computer. He entered his id and password.-
"One new message."
Antony opened it.
"To- ….
"It listed almost everybody's ids, Flavius, Marullus, the conspirators, Cassius' weird slave guy. It also listed the email ids of all the conspirators, all of Brutus' friends, Pindarius, Calphurnia, Artemidorus and the soothsayer, Lucius and all of Brutus' and Cassius' servants. It seemed like noone was left out."
"Message-
Dear character of Julius Caesar,
DO NOT READ THIS MESSAGE ALOUD.
You are invited to Brutus' and Portia's home, 56/4, paradise road, heaven-14788, for reasons too important to be discussed in this letter. It is extremely important, and you will be expected tomorrow, at 3am, which is five minutes later. Please do not forget. All your information is required for something important that MUST be figured out.
There will be pizza.
Yours,
Portia Brutus.
WIFE OF Brutus,
DAUGHTER OF Cato."
Something IMPORTANT was going to happen.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Cassius
'So do I get three wishes?'
'Sure, what do you want?'
'I don't know. I really like Portia. And I love…I am in love with Brutus. I would die for him, weird godmother, he's everything to me. But I value Portia's friendship more than anything else. I mean, all that time spent together, all that was shared between us, and I go and fall for her husband. I mean, I'm, I'm crazy. I wouldn't take Brutus from Porch, she'd fall apart. And it just hurts that Bru can't be mine. I hadn't forgotten him in all these years, really. To go to his home, it would be awkward, after all that, you know what happened at Philippi. There was so much between us, I didn't know how to face him, I postponed our meeting day-after-day, and when I did meet him, he….he forgot me. He forgot everything about me, not only my name. All he could remember was brother…BROTHER! He didn't even miss me or anything. I thought he would.'
'No wishes then?'
'Geez, grandma, have some sympathy.'
'Sorry sonny. That was really sad. I do hope it is okay now.'
'It's not okay, fairy. How dense can you get? Honestly?'
'I am not dense. You are.'
'Am not,'
'Are too,'
'Am not.'
'Are too.'
'Not this again,' Caius sighed and sat down taking his head in his hand. He took his mobile phone out again and checked his mail on that.
'Bye fairy godmom. I'm goin'.', he said after reading the mail.
'Bye sonny. You need me, you call.'
'Sure thing,' said Caius, making a mental note to not even think of her, let alone call her.
And he left the scene, to leave the fairy godmother standing alone, waving her wand around hopelessly.
Octavius
'Hey, Antony. I guess you're also coming.'
'Yeah, that's why I'm here kid.'
Octavius had been walking towards Brutus' home and had just bumped into Antony along the way.
'I'm not a kid anymore,' said Octavius, straightening his back, making him stretch to his tallest height, 'I've grown lots.'
'You look ten.'
Octavius certainly did not look ten. In fact, he looked older than Antony. Antony just loved bugging him.
'Well, you look two.'
'You still act like you're two.'
'Whateverrrrr. Look, Lepidus is here. Lepi, hi! Hey, look here! Hi! Lepi, hi! Hi!' saying this, Octavius waved his hands vigorously and in a very stupid manner. They moved the fastest that hands had ever moved.
'Hey, Lepi! Hi!' he called out again. The hand movement increased, and somehow Lepidus didn't seem to notice, even though, everyone, even the people 10 miles away did.
'Ah,' Lepidus finally said, 'Octavius. Antony, long time no see.' He hadn't noticed so that his entrence would be more dramatic.
'Yeah, yeah,' said Octavius, 'Totally.'
'I quite agree,' said Antony.
'You know-,' Octavius began, but didn't continue as Portia had come running towards them.
'Get in guys. The meeting has begun.'
