Dawnstar94 - Sometimes I wonder why a bad teacher even trained as a teacher at all! As for Tybalt, he is a massive prick sometimes.

Zelda12343 - Well, you know what happens in Child Swap...he's got Hermy in his future, and then in ALYN she kicks Gabriel's ass. And then in the upcoming sequel, The Students Of Venice, Gabriel gets fired and ends up homeless and having to rely on Benvolio and Mercutio's kindness. Not that they hide all his clothes or anything.

Poor Benvolio. His girlfriend is falling for Gabriel big time, and Gabriel is shoving it in his face and calling him nasty names. Wonder how Romeo's going to take it when Mercutio shows him the film!

And my aunty's dog, Eddie, makes a cameo as Romeo's new puppy! I love that dog, he is my favourite cousin.


Finally, for the people in Rosaline's year, it was the end of term. On the 13th of May, they broke up from school to go on Study Leave in preparation for their exams. Besides revising, Rosaline had been shopping for Tibby's present, and an outfit to wear. He'd given her his credit card and told her not to look at the price tag.

Meanwhile, Mercutio had ripped the film on his phone onto to his computer and downloaded it onto a DVD. Romeo was still whining and getting on his nerves. Benvolio was still suffering in silence. But for once, Mercutio didn't care about either of them. It was going to be wake up Romeo, and bye bye Queen Bee Rosaline.

The 15th of May found Mercutio cycling along down to Romeo's house, with Hermia wearing a cunning disguise. Benvolio was already there. Rose apparently couldn't make it.

Paulina answered the door.

"Hello, Mercutio! Lovely to see you again"

"Hi, Paulina!" replied Mercutio. He'd known her for years, so he called her by her first name "This is my friend, Boris. He's just moved here all the way from Russia"

"Welcome, Boris!"

Hermia pulled her hat down lower. In her best Russian accent she replied "Hello"

"Romeo's in the living room with Benvolio. I can't believe he's fifteen! Where does the time go...?"

Hermia followed Mercutio into the front room, looking around in marvel at the Montague Ranch.

"Happy birthday to Woo woo!" shrieked Mercutio, banging open the door. A small dog barked "Oooh, who's this?"

"This is Eddie. He's my new puppy" said Romeo happily.

"Aww, he's so cute! What breed is he?"

"A miniature schnauzer"

"Hello, Eddie!" greeted Mercutio, stroking the dog. Benvolio cowered on top of an armchair "What are you doing up there, Benvolio?"

"I hate dogs" muttered Benvolio.

"I want a dog, but Step-toe is allergic" said Hermia, taking off her hat "God, it's hot under there!"

"Hermia!" yelped Benvolio.

"Shut up, fool! Your uncle and aunt will hear! This is Boris, everyone. He just moved here from Russia" said Mercutio loudly "So say, hi Boris!"

"Hi, Boris" said Romeo.

"Hello, Boris" said Benvolio. Hermia shoved her hat back on.

"So what are you doing here, Hermia?" asked Romeo "You know you shouldn't be in here! You're a Capulet"

"And? Besides, it's Tybalt's birthday today and he's seventeen, and he banned me from coming near him today. And good, because Aunty Regina is cooking 'Sausage Surprise!' and it's fucking disgusting"

"It's Tybalt's what?" choked Romeo.

"Birthday. You share the same birthday" said Hermia with a shrug "I'd rather be with my sexy Montague boys than a stupid old cousin I don't even like"

Romeo and Benvolio looked horrified.

"And I thought sharing a birthday with Beatrix was bad" remarked Benvolio.

"So, Romeo. Do you want your present?" asked Mercutio, an evil glint in his eye. In a way, he felt a little bad. In the past few moments, without any Rosalines or Roses around, it had been the way it was before, and it had been kind of nice.

"Yeah!" exclaimed Romeo "What is it?"

"Aha" said Mercutio, handing it over. Romeo unwrapped it.

"Oh, it's a DVD!"

"Let's watch it!"

"Mercutio..." trailed off Benvolio.

"Yay, let's watch it!" Hermia shouted over him. Mercutio took it, popped it in the DVD player, and switched it on. Tybalt and Rosaline blasted onto the screen.

"It is Rosaline! My love!" cried Romeo.

On the screen, Rosaline moved towards Tybalt and crushed her lips against him. Mercutio turned around to look at Romeo's face. It was a mixture of horror and despair, hurt and betrayal. He giggled a little, as Tybalt slammed Rosaline against the wall and wrapped her legs around his waist.

"She...you..." spluttered Romeo.

"Ha!" yelled Mercutio "Now do you believe me? She doesn't love you, she never will, she never did. And it's not because she's an innocent little virgin who wants to stay pure for marriage. She's lying. She's slept with him too. Give it to him, Hermia!"

Hermia ripped out the pills and thrust them under Romeo's nose. Romeo gazed at them horrified. It was her name on them. It was her prescription all right.

"No..." whispered Romeo.

"Oh, yes!" declared Hermia "See. See what a hoe she really is! She pushed me down the stairs, she lied to people about Tybalt, she lied about everything just to get to the top. She is a deceitful slut, a goldigger, a bitch, and you are never going to obsess over her again!"

"Mercutio! Hermia!" gasped Benvolio.

"Mwah ha ha!" cackled Mercutio.

The door blasted open, and Paulina rushed in "What's going on?"

"Rosaline's dating Tybalt Capulet!" wailed Romeo, throwing the pills at the wall and falling into his mother's arms to cry.

"Let's scarper" said Mercutio.

"Cha cha!" waved Hermia, grabbing the pills. Her hat fell off "Crap!"

Claudio was next to walk through the door "Hey! There's a Capulet in here!"

"Hope you like your DVD!" sang Hermia, running out the room, pocketing Rosaline's pills.
