Dawnstar94 - Uh oh! Remind me not to come to Texas on vacation!
Go Rosaline and Hermia! See, all it takes is the persuation from two strong females to stop a tragedy. Now, let's go and see what Merc and Benny are up too. Oh, and I've been continuing work on my sequel to ALYN. I have found some inspiration and think it's going good so far. I believe that this is the third to last chapter to this story, so keep checking my fanfiction page, and I also have a deviantart where I post pictures of the characters and more details. I should make a facebook page for the Child Swap series.
"So where is Woo woo?" asked Mercutio, as he and Benvolio sat eating a packet of crisps together. They gazed out at Verona from where they sat up in a tree in Verona's park "Did he go home last night?"
"Yeah, I rung my Uncle Claudio this morning and he said Romeo wandered home at three am" Benvolio rolled his eyes fondly.
"Wonder where he was"
"Doing whatever Romeo's do best" said Benvolio, rolling his eyes again. He and Mercutio answered together.
"Girl-hunting!"
"Typical" Mercutio lounged back, balancing on another branch. Benvolio watched him worriedly, feeling the tree shake a little.
"Guess what else" said Benvolio.
"What?"
"Tybalt sent him a message on Facebook"
"Anyone can send messages on Facebook" said Mercutio "I'll send you one if you want"
"No, but you should see it! Romeo posted it to his wall. It's hilarious, he can't even spell Montague! He wrote it like M-O-N-T-E-R-G-O-O. And he spelt Romeo's name like R-O-W-M-I-O, your name like M-E-R-C-U-S-H-Y-O and my name B-E-N-V-O-L-L-Y-O. He didn't put any apostrophes in the right places, didn't use capital letters, and just made spelling mistakes the whole way through! I'm amazed they even let him stay in school"
Mercutio snorted, and started fiddling with his iphone to look at Romeo's wall. Benvolio finished off the crisps, and smoothened out the packet. After Mercutio giggled at Tybalt's failed attempts to spell, he pocketed his phone, and they both jumped down.
"I hope Tybalt doesn't try to fight Romeo like he says he will in the message" added Benvolio, as they headed out of the shade of the tree.
"Well, I hope Romeo messages him back telling him he's ready and waiting for this little fight. We'll go to the Joke Shop and get some silly string that we can spray on him to wind him up"
"Speaking of which...here comes Romeo!" said Benvolio, pointing. Romeo ran happily over to his friends.
"I believe someone owes us an explanation!" coughed Mercutio, leaning with his arm on Benvolio's shoulders. Benvolio crossed his arm and nodded smugly.
"For what?" asked Romeo.
"Abandoning us!" Mercutio cried dramatically, pretending to cry.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Wooshy-wo. I hope you aren't mentally scarred by the experience" replied Romeo. Some more of their friends, such as Adam and Balthasar, had gathered around.
Mercutio half-hugged, half-climbed on Romeo "I'm devastated! I'll never be the same again! I need counselling!"
"Hey, looks like our favourite crazy mental spaz has admitted he has a problem!" teased Benvolio.
Mercutio pulled a crazy face, his tongue drooling, and his eyes bulging, at Benvolio, who simply giggled at him. The boys tussled and messed around for a bit, until they collapsed on the park fence. They chatted about the party, until Mercutio suddenly poked both Romeo and Benvolio and pointed.
"See that sexy beast over there!" he shrieked. The two other boys looked over, and so did their friends, to see Juliet's nurse waddling over to them, with one of Tybalt's mates.
"Oh my God, what is she wearing? She looks like a great big sail!" snorted Romeo.
The boys glanced among each other.
"A sail, a sail!" they jeered, and pretended to move like the sail of a ship, swaying from side to side. The nurse was not put off, and then stood in front of them.
"Peter, have you got my fan?"
"Good boy, Peter, to hide her face. Because that fan is way more attractive than her face!" announced Mercutio. The boys roared with laughter as Peter handed over her fan. She turned to the boys, fanning herself.
"Good morning, young men"
"Good afternoon, old lady" said Mercutio.
"Is it that late?"
"Yep" said Mercutio "Because the naughty, naughty hand of the clock dial is now on the prick of noon!"
And with that, he reached over and grabbed Benvolio's crotch. Benvolio, of course, screamed and fell over off the wall. Mercutio cackled evilly.
"Don't ever molest me ever again!" yelled Benvolio. The rest of the boys oohed and laughed at them. The nurse sighed irritated. She turned back to the group.
"I am looking for a young lady called Hermia. Have you seen her? I know she hangs around with you"
"I don't know any ladies called Hermia" Mercutio continued "I know a Lad You Can Shag called Hermia though"
"How dare you!" hissed the nurse "What kind of boy are you?"
"A sexy beast" replied Romeo.
The nurse fumed "Well, if you can't tell me where to find Hermia, which one of you is Lysander?"
"Oooh, Lysander!" teased Mercutio. The other boys collapsed into catcalls and calls of his names. Mercutio wolf-whistled. Turning red, Lysander stood up.
"I'm Lysander"
"I need to speak to you" said the nurse firmly.
"OOOH!" jeered the boys, led by Mercutio. Some of the boys batted Lysander with the backs of their hands, whistling even more, as he made his way over to talk to the nurse.
"I think she's taking him out for dinner!" Benvolio whispered loudly. Mercutio sniggered, loving the rare moment Benvolio let his prudish hair down.
"A cougar! A cougar!" Mercutio whispered to the rest of the boys. Then he hushed them, and listened as the nurse muttered to Lysander. Lysander was turning even redder.
"...left these on her bedroom floor..." she handed him a scrap of material. Mercutio's eyes bulged right out of their sockets.
"Lysander nailed the nurse!" he yelled. The boys cheered, and Mercutio started to dance around the nurse, singing "Lysander nailed the nurse! Lysander nailed the nurse! Lysander is a stud!"
The other boys got up, cheering. Romeo clapped his hands on Mercutio's shoulders, and then Benvolio clapped his on Romeo's shoulders, and the rest of the boys formed a conga line, led by Mercutio. They paraded in a circle, chanting "Lysander nailed the nurse! Lysander nailed the nurse!"
"Oooh, I'm telling Hermia you cheated on her!" Mercutio catcalled.
"You stop that!" the nurse bellowed in anger "I won't have you boys messing with my girls! And if you see, Hermia, you can tell her that Lord Capulet is looking for her, and she's in trouble! Big trouble!"
The boys hurried away, and Lysander held out the underwear.
"Um...these aren't mine"
"What do you mean? They were on Hermia's bedroom floor after last night's party!"
"These are Tybalt's. Hermia was going to put them in the tree this morning to wind him up"
