I can't believe how popular this became! Here's the update! P.S. I apologize if I left stuff out, added in little stuff, or moved around sequences but whatever I do will not greatly affect the story! Most everything is accurate! Love ya!

P.S. as always I recommend ACTUALLY reading Romeo and Juliet or watching Romeo+Juliet, fabulous movie!

Byron laid his head against the elevator as Noel stood next to him. "Mister Fitz and I are both unwilling to go to jail. And I would think men our age could keep the peace. It can't be hard."

"It's terrible you've been fighting so long, sir. But now I need you to answer me! Please my I marry your daughter?" Noel's exuberant husky eyes smiled back.

Byron glanced at the young man then rolled his eyes. "Like I said last time you asked and the time before that! She is too young. Too young to be a wife, too young to be a mother. Maybe in a few years-"

"There are women younger than her who have become mothers." Noel pushed.

"And then they become unhappy and sarrowfilled. Noel, she is the purest thing in my world. Come to our party tonight and talk with her. Woo her. And if she shows response, we'll see what happens. But I won't push her into marriage."

He pulled out his cell phone, "Hanna? Call my regular guest list and make sure they all arrive around six P.M. please."

Hanna sounded flustered, "But it's only four! You have a guest list of over 3,000!"

"Just find a way and do it quickly!" Byron clicked end call and shoved the phone back into his pocket.

Toby and Ezra stumbled out of the bar, laughing. "Thanks for this, Cuz. But it doesn't change anything. She doesn't love me."

Toby shook his head, "You're crazy."

"I wish it were that simple . . ." Ezra stumbled onto Toby, making them both burst out laughing again. Toby bumped into someone else. A blonde girl who was running around with a notepad as big as herself.

"Hello . . ." Toby smiled at her.

She glanced up at them, more flustered than not, "Can either of you two read this? I can't understand this hand writing." She shoved the pad towards them. Ezra squinted, but even in his drunken haze was able to read the words.

He listed them all out, even showing her how the words were looped and stretched to help her better follow it. "Ah! Thank you so much! You just saved my job . . ." she turned to leave then smiled, "If you two aren't from the house of Fitz, come by and grab a drink or two." She smiled before sashaying off.

Toby steadied his cousin and smiled, "This could be a great way to forget Jackie. Meet some hot babes."

Ezra crooked his head back, "I could never forget her . . . no one is more beautiful . . . more brilliant . . ."

"Oh, come on!" Toby rolled his eyes. Ezra just grumbled and followed his cousin. Hardy, Ezra's best friend and the nephew of Chief Prince, came upon them. "Guess what we scored invites to?"

Hardy smiled, "We're going dancing tonight boys. It's a costume party right?" Toby and Ezra nodded.

"I don't feel like going." Ezra sighed. "You both are free to happily go but I will be nothing but sad the whole time."

Hardy pushed his friend's back, "Just put your game face on, Cupid. You'll be with a chick by the end of the night."

Toby shook his head, "He's afraid he's off his game. He's in love with some girl who wants to be a nun." Hardy looked at Ezra.

"Love sucks." He said simply. "It's loud, pushy, and painful."

Hardy rolled his eyes, "Forget about love. Beat love down! C'mon we need to all get ready." He stopped to look at his friends, "You should both wear masked costumes."

"I had a dream last night. True things happened in it." Ezra rambled on.

"Queen Mab has screwed you over big time, lover boy." Hardy laughed.

"Queen Mab?" Ezra asked.

Hardy grabbed his friends by the shoulders, "I'll tell you about it on the way to the party . . ."

"Arms up, Aria!" Simone ordered. Aria choked out a breath as Simone tightened the corset even more. Simone knotted it then pulled up the silver angel costume around Aria's body, fastening it's straps, and hooking up the feather wings to their rightful position.

"I look silly . . ." she whispered. Her dark hair fell over her shoulders and around her eyes.

Simone smiled as she hooked a halo into Aria's hair with pins, "Non sense. You look beautiful. You were the prettiest baby I ever nursed, and now you're the fairest young woman I've ever seen." Aria smiled.

"C'mon Aria." Byron opened the door. "Sweetie, you look beautiful, as always. Our guests are arriving and I wish you to meet them." Simone stepped away and Aria followed her father downstairs.

(Start listening to Angel by Gavin Friday right about now!)

Ezra and Toby entered the party, "This is not a good idea." Ezra mumbled, scratching his nose under his mask. Toby hit the back of his head, "Too late."

His mask came tumbling off, "Dammit Toby." He picked up the mask when they were in the middle of the dance floor and looked up, without reason, to see the most beautiful vision. She had almond brown eyes and a mass of beautiful black hair. "Who is she?" he asked, his lust-filled voice barely above a whisper.

Toby followed his gaze, "Psh, I don't know." Toby noticed a friend of his and walked off in that direction while Romeo continued to gaze up at her. Her pure beauty kept his feet glued in position, "I never even knew what love was . . ." he said to himself, "I've never seen true beauty till this night."

Mike Montgomery turned, confirming to himself that Ezra Fitz was standing in his uncle's very own home. He looked to his friends, "C'mon boys, let's take out the trash."

Byron stumbled upon them, "What are you doing, Nephew?"

Mike gave him a look of urgency, "A Fitz is here. I intend to end him for starting a new offence by trespassing on our own home."

"You will do no such thing, Mike. I will not have another penalty on my hands!"

"But uncle-"

"No!" Byron yelled, grabbing him by his costume collar, "You will not make my guests uneasy and you will act as if he isn't here. Is that understood?"

Mike pushed off his uncle, merely walking off, away from Ezra's direction.

Aria twirled her pinkie in her punch, listening to Noel droll on and on about his many accomplishments. "Excuse me. I need to go to the washroom." She smiled, settling down the punch. She picked up the hem of her dress slightly so as not to trip and walked to the Coat room, ducking in before anyone could see her.

Except for one.

"Miss." He smiled, stepping towards her and taking her hand, bowing his head, "My hand doesn't deserve to touch another's of such beauty and loveliness, but I wish to kiss it anyway." He pecked the flesh on the back of her hand, causing her to giggle slightly.

"You don't give yourself enough credit. By taking my hand, you show how kind you are. As holding hands we do with statues of saints."

"Have saints not lips as well."

Aria blushed deep red, making the most beautiful sight Ezra had ever seen, "Lips to pray with." She smiled.

"And here I am . . . praying for you to kiss me. Will you grant my prayers, beautiful saint."

"Saints do not move their lips to deliver their prayers." She laughed.

Ezra lowered his mouth to hers, "Then do not move." He kissed her gently, as she did not keep the saintly promise of not moving. Electricity shot between them.

"You kiss like you've studied it." She smiled, kissing him again.

There was an urgent knock at the door, and she tore away from him. Simone rambled in, "Your mother wants to talk to you." Aria nodded, giving Ezra and apologetic look before leaving.

"Who is her mother?" Ezra asked.

"The lady of the house." Simone suggested, as though it should be obvious, before leaving and shutting the door.

"Is she a Montgomery?" Ezra asked himself, suddenly painfully aware. "My fate is now in the hands of my enemy."

Toby opened the door and shook his head, "C'mon, Ezra. I believe the party is at it's peak and we should be leaving now."

Ezra nodded, following his cousin, but catching eyes with Aria before being pushed out.

"Who is he?" Aria asked joyfully. "The one leaving now. If he is married I'd sooner die than marry another-"

"He is Ezra Fitz!" Simone sighed horridly.

Aria felt tears tremble at her eyes. "No . . . my only love the son of the only man I hate. Love has made me it's fool for falling in love with one I am bound to hate. I should have asked him his name and now I know too late, for I love him and that is my irreversible state."

"What!" Simone asked in a worried tone.

Aria turned to her almost forgotten nurse. "Nothing . . ." she sighed, wiping her eyes, "Just a silly rhyme I learned from Mr. Kahn."

Simone nodded, "Let's go . . . your mother calls."
