Zelda12343 - Thanks! I'm hopeless at writing the huffin' and puffin' so I don't include it in my work. Sometimes, it's just not needed, don't you think?

Dawnstar94 - The Montague family are kind of religious, and I didn't think they came across as stupid and annoying. I hope I haven't offended you at all, it's just I needed a reason as to why Rosaline would say she was a sworn virgin in the first place. I know not all Christians are like that, one of my friends wants to be a vicar!

Uh oh, Rosaline's vow's not even a few hours old and she's broken it. Let's hear from Hermia and the Montagues.


"So" said Hermia, sitting up at the end of Mercutio's bed "Who has a hangover?"

"Me" whined Benvolio, lying on the left side.

"Not me!" shrieked Mercutio, bouncing up from the middle. Poor Benvolio moaned, and threw the duvet over his head.

"I live in a permanent drunken state, brought on by lovesickness for my sweet Rosaline" mumbled Romeo from the right side.

"Go back to sleep" instructed Mercutio, putting the duvet over his head.

"Ok"

"Mercutio, are you still wearing my skirt?" asked Hermia.

Mercutio glanced under the duvet "Yep. Did you want it back?"

"Yes please. I can't walk home in your boxers"

"We had such an awesome time last night" said Mercutio, looking around his trashed room. Adam and Balthasar were lying on the sofa, his telly was upside down, his clothes were hanging off the lampshade, the door to his bathroom was hanging off on it's hinges and there was food crushed into the carpet.

"I'm sure you're going to have fun clearing this up" said Hermia, getting up. There was a moan as she kicked something "Good morning, Paris! Did you decide to join us after all?"

"Oooh, just look at that! Paris is pissed!" sniggered Mercutio "Quick, take a picture and show it to Lord Capulet!"

Hermia snapped one, and then began to inspect the damage closer. Mercutio's Sweet Sixteen birthday bash had gone down a treat. First of all, they went bowling, although Hermia couldn't do anything because her arm was in it's cast, and then they went to Pizza Planet and Mercutio tipped a plate of pasta on his head because Romeo promised him a fiver if he did, so the management sent them out. Then they went running around Verona like maniacs, and they did their usual. Knocking on Tybalt's door and running away. After it got dark, they brought the party back to Mercutio's room. Valentine tried to get them to be quiet after midnight but it didn't work, as they were playing Truth Or Dare. Then Paris came whining at them to shut up and so they tried to corrupt him and Hermia offered him shrooms as a joke. Then Escalus came down himself and told them to either go home or be quiet. Some of their friends left then, but not any of the particularly rowdy ones. They stole some alcohol from the kitchens and played loud thumping music, until Mercutio's mum banged on the door and shouted at her son to be quiet. So, they turned off the music and the prank calls started, with Tybalt being their main victim. At around four in the morning, they had crawled into Mercutio's bed, with Hermia at the bottom, the three boys side by side, and Adam and Balthasar on the sofa.

"This room has been wrecked" stated Hermia, as Mercutio shimmied out of her skirt and tossed it to her "You, my pal, are going to be in so much trouble when your family wake up. I'm out of here!"

"Bye" said Mercutio, burrowing back under the duvet as she left. His birthday had been so freaking awesome! It was April Fool's Day, so he usually began by playing a series of tricks on his family, like putting green paint on his mum's hands as she slept so when she rubbed her face she looked like Elphaba out of Wicked. This year he'd got legal, so he went around telling everyone he was going to shag Tybalt's mum. Luckily Tybalt had been too busy with his hag Rosaline, so he hadn't been punched in the face yet.

And this year had been even better, because he'd successfully corrupted Benvolio. He got him drunk! Bless him, Benny was adorable when he was pissed.

"What time is it?" mumbled Benvolio, raising his head a little.

"I don't know, you're one sleeping next to my alarm clock" retorted Mercutio.

"You're the one with perfect vision!"

"It's ten" replied Mercutio "Are you awake yet?"

"No! I'm exhausted, my head is killing me, and when I get home, my dad will kill me for getting drunk"

"No, he won't! He'll congratulate you for finally having the balls to do so!"

"Shut up!"

"Know what I think?" said Mercutio, rolling over to whisper in the other boy's ear "I think he thinks that you're finally becoming a man, Bennykins. I mean, you've got drunk, at last, and you have a girlfriend after saying how you never thought you'd get one. I think-"

"Oh shit!" Benvolio flung himself up, snatching his glasses from his bedside table "I was supposed to meet Rose to go to the cinema with her!"

"Oh no! What time were you meant to be there for?"

"I have to get there in half an hour" Benvolio hurried around the room, trying to find his shoes "I look a sight!"

"You look fit"

"Not funny! Help me find my stuff; I know it's here somewhere"

"I like the fact that there is a rip across the back of your trousers and that I can see your boxers and that I wasn't going to tell you and just let you go out like that until my nice side told me too"

"Wha...No! How did that happen? What am I going to do?" cried Benvolio, turning around in front of a mirror.

"I'll lend you my pink trousers!"

"NO!"

"Oh, poor Benny. He'll never make to his girlfriend in time, he'll just turn into a pumpkin at ten thirty" sang Mercutio.

"Shut up! I need to see her"

"I need to see her" mimicked Mercutio "You know who you sound like? You sound like Woo woo!"

"Be quiet!" was Romeo's muffled shout.

"I need to see her" Benvolio chewed his lip "She keeps making eyes at Gabriel Fulgencio, and I'm worried she'll dump me if I don't..."

Mercutio raised his eyebrows "Act like him? Pff! You'd be better off having no girlfriend if that's the case! If you ever act like Gabriel, I'll hit you"

"No! It's just she's all like 'Gabriel has a horse' or 'Gabriel is a vegetarian and he campaigns for animal rights' and worse of all 'Gabriel gets teased by all the boys on the football team and it's so mean because he's actually so sweet!' because I know and you know that he's evil!" Benvolio ran frantically around the room, successfully located one shoe and then the other "Oh, what am I going to do? I can't go out like this!"

"I'll lend you some clothes. Just calm down. This Gabriel thing is just an infatuation. She'll soon see what he's really like and not want anything to with him. Benny, you are and always will be the nicest boy that ever existed. You've nothing to worry about" assured Mercutio.

"You really think so?"

"Yes" replied Mercutio "After all, you were the first to get a girlfriend out of us three, if you don't count Romeo's stupid simpering hang-ons"

And with that he kicked Romeo under the duvet, before hopping out to fetch Benvolio some clothes.
