Dawnstar94 - Ha! How'd you guess? And as for life in England...well, the sun is shining, so that's something I ought to go and marvel at.

So, we have reached chapter 60. I thought this story would be smaller than my other ones, being only 50 chapters or so. I think I have about 5 to go. Well, last we saw Romeo and Juliet they were planning to get hitched. So who stopped them?

"Hermia!" gasped the couple.

"You're trying to get married!" exclaimed the girl "You've only known each other for an hour! Now, I've done some pretty outrageous stuff, I mean, skinny dipping with Mercutio in his dad's pool, and the thing with Tybalt and Rosaline and the DVD, but getting married? When you haven't even known each other for, what, an hour? You're nuts!"

Romeo and Juliet just stared at her.

"We're in love!" they finally protested.

"I love Lysander, yet I'm not flying him off to Vegas for a quickie wedding! How the hell do you even plan to get married, anyway? You're underage, you don't have parental permission, you haven't posted any banns, and you don't have any witnesses"

"Obstacles such as those are easily thwarted when one is in love!" Romeo cried.

Hermia just rolled her eyes "This is ridiculous. Juliet's just another one of your infatuations, isn't she?"

"No!" Romeo cried again.

"Stop trying to ruin this for me, Hermia! I wouldn't care if you fell in love with someone you shouldn't!" said Juliet.

"That's not the issue. I don't care if you want to see each other. It's not my problem who you date. I'll even help you sneak out to see him. I hate to quote our favourite hoebag Rosaline, but we must all make our choices and if they happen to go wrong, it's a learning experience. But I refuse to let you marry him. This boy, was obsessed with Rosaline. He claimed he was 'in love' with her for months and-"

"She sprung me on!" Romeo insisted "She kept sending me wrong signals!"

"Pull the other one, Romeo" snorted Hermia "Let's see what Mercutio and Benvolio think about this. I'll call them now, shall I?"

"No! Mercutio's got even stricter on the 'Bros before hoes' rule and Benvolio's still trying to get over Rose and it would be like slapping him in the face!" said Romeo.

"Well then!" said Hermia "And have you even thought about what would happen after you marry? Where you'd live? If you'd have kids? Because if our families found out, they would go nuts and probably chuck you out if you want to be together so much. As for you, Juliet, have you thought about what you'll say to Tybalt? You know what he's like. And as for you, Romeo, have you thought about how much Tybalt's going to beat you up for this? I hope you've got some body armour at home!"

"I wouldn't fight him, I'd tell him that we were family now!"

"Yeah, like he's going to listen to that! Anyone without the word Capulet on their birth certificate is a potential enemy as far as he's concerned"

"What about Rosaline?" asked Juliet.

"Oh, well, she's grown up with us so she thinks and acts like a Capulet anyway. And stop trying to change the subject. You two can't get married!"

"Hermia, this isn't fair. I thought you'd support us" said Juliet disappointedly.

Hermia grew calmer "I do support you. If you want to see each other, I'm fine with that. I think it's nice that someone actually returns Romeo's affections for once, especially considering how devoted he is when he is 'in love' But be rational here. You've only known each other for an hour, and you want to marry. That's stupid. Why be tied down so young? Why not have some fun, go on dates, get to know each other a bit better. I'd help you sneak out, I'd do even crazier, naughtier things so you stay off Eugene and Tybalt's radars. I know how much you've wanted someone to get out of the house with"

The couple were silenced for a while.

"She does have a point" admitted Romeo.

"JULIET!" hollered the nurse.

"Great" muttered Juliet.

"We'll have to go in a minute. Just talk it over. We'll go out tomorrow and meet up, then I'll kick off and you can get to know each other better then" said Hermia, retreating inside.

Romeo caressed Juliet's cheek.

"She's right, you know"

"I know"

"I should head home. I'll see you tomorrow morning, but I won't sleep because I'll thinking about you. And if I do sleep, then I'll be dreaming of you"

"Such sweet words!" crooned Juliet.

Romeo clamoured over the edge of the balcony, but then stopped, realising his dress was constricting his movement "Don't suppose you have any guy clothes I could borrow?"

"Well, Tybalt usually keeps some things here. I could always borrow some of his stuff"

"Yeah, I think I'll just stick with the dress, but, er, thanks anyway"
