Days past and people changed. Juliet grew stronger and became more of a leader. Curio and the others became more protective of Juliet and myself. Francisco changed almost the most. He would look at me strangely and was always a bit overly protective. He was often by my side and he seemed a bit more friendly.
Curio, Francisco, and I were out on the water, going back to the Capulet head quarters. It was a sunny afternoon, and was just plain beautiful.
"There he is! There's Sir Francisco!" Some girls on the bridge above yelled. Pathetic fan girls.
" Hello ladies!" he smiled.
"Please accept these!" they yelled, throwing flowers to him. He caught one and winked at them. "He winked at us! He winked at us!" they screamed. I rolled my eyes combing the flower petals out of my hair. It may have been short, but my hair was covered with those stupid petals. The fan girls immediately saw me and wined.
"Aw! He has a girlfriend? Damn you!" they yelled. I freaked.
"GIRLFRIEND!? You idiots must be delusional! I would never be this pig's girlfriend! NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!" I yelled at them.
"YAY! We have a chance!" they jumped up and down excitedly.
"How about two million?" Curio laughed.
"I would rather die," I spat.
"Love you too, Scarlet" Francisco sang.
"Oh hush up," I spat.
"Oh come on! I'm only playing!" he wined.
"Who's the six year old now, Curio?" I asked raising an eyebrow. Curio laughed.
"You two would make and adorable couple," he said.
"I knew it!" Francisco yelled attaching himself to my waist, eyes shining.
"Not a chance," I said pushing Francisco off of me. He lost his balance and fell into the water. Curio and I laughed hysterically. He came back up and spat out water, glaring at us. I just laughed even more.
"Come and join me! The water's fine!" he said, grabbing my arm. I screamed as he pulled me in.
"You jerk!" I screamed, hitting him. Curio looked at us and laughed. We splashed each other.
"I knew it!" I heard someone scream.
"Melanie!" I yelled, treading water.
"I absolutely knew it!" she yelled running down to us. Francisco and I laughed as we swam to the boat as Curio helped me in. I wrung out my clothing as Francisco wrung out his hair. I shook out my hair, soaking Francisco and Curio.
"Scarlet!" they wined.
"A little water never hurt anyone," I said smiling.
"Scarlet! I knew it! I knew it!" Melanie yelled out of breath.
"Knew what?" I challenged.
"Knew you two had something!" she squealed. I laughed nervously.
"I have no clue what you're talking about!" I laughed.
"Oh! Don't you dare pretend you don't know what I'm talking about!" she called smiling.
"You don't have to hide our love, my dear Scarlet!" Francisco said reattaching himself to my waist.
"Don't make me push you over again you lying rat," I said forcing a smile. He returned to his previous position. He laughed nervously, scratching at the back of his head.
"I'm just kidding! I'm just kidding! Don't push me over again!" he laughed.
"Oh my! Scarlet, I'll be leaving! You still need to get your stuff out of the house! Come by when you get the chance," Melanie called.
"Alright! Good bye!" I called, waving. Curio just watched her leave, fascinated.
"Aw! Does Curio have a little crush on Melanie?" I cooed. His face turned red. "It's nothing to be ashamed of! Melanie is sweet, caring, punctual, gentle, and very easy to impress," I said nudging him. His face just became even more red.
"And she's very attractive!" Francisco added.
"Oh shut up you two," he scolded. Francisco and I joked the rest of the way with Curio defending himself and scolding us along the way.
