18. Let There Be Fire!

Mercutio snickers evilly by having the star crossed lovers in his possession. Juliet was on the end of the right side while Gnomeo was cross her, struggling to break free and hold her and escape. Not only that, Mercutio's cruelty was so low that Juliet was still with her mermaid tail and she was getting weaker by the second by lack of dehydration. She needed to stay wet to survive or she'll dry up and die. Jules was tied to the pole across the room in her mermaid tail & form & drying up & getting weak & he was worried.

The Blue looks toward his weak wife, insanely worried "Juliet, please, stay with me, Jules"

Juliet dangles her head, weakly to look toward him "I'm losing strength, Gnomeo. And I don't think I can get it back" she says, weakly

"Don't worry Juliet I'll get you out of here! As soon as I can just..." He tries to break free but its not working

"Gnomeo, Gnomeo... give it up, there's no way out of here. we don't even know where we are" *she says with small breath & her chest racing fast.

"Don't say that Juliet you need to get out of here. "

"you don't understand, Gnomeo. mermaids are not suppose to be out of the water for a long time. we get weak and then we..." *she hesitates & he knows what she means*

"No my love. Can't u just change back?"

"Not with my hands tied up, I can't" That is very correct, Gnomy Boy. I thought yuou. YOU KNEW THAT!"

"Please, Jules, you can't leave me now and not ever. I need you for me, for Mimi. You need to be that feisty, stubborn and strong Red ninja that I know and love with all my heart"

That's when Mercutio comes in, smirking & laughs by what Gnomeo said.

"Oh, silly Gnomeo, I agree with you on everything you said about her but sadly, right now, she doesn't need to be strong right now. What she needs is water so she can live" Mercutio teases while holding a glass of water in Juliet's face but drinks it himself. "Ah, that's refreshing" fake exhales & smirks.

They both glare but more Gnomeo, ready to break his neck many times. "YOU have gone too far this time. TOO FAR, MERCUTIO! CAN'T YOU SEE SHE'S DYING!? If you care about her, you keep her alive!"

Mercutio rolls his eyes, annoyed "Oh shut up, Gnomy. That your voice gives me headaches & it's not good when I get my headaques" he mocks & smirks.

Gnomeo struggles more, furious "IM GOING TO GIVE U MORE THAN A HEADACHE WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE!"

"Don't hold your breath, Blue boy. Hahaha, I made a funny pun" he laughs teasing and walks to weak Juliet "Isn't that right, honey? What do you prefer right now, air or water" he takes a bottle water and then dumps the water down a drain to torture her.

"STOP IT, MERCUTIO! SHE DOESN'T NEED TO SUFFER! THIS BATTLE IS BETWEEN YOU AND ME! Keep me here as long as you want but let my wife go!"

"Wife? What wife? The girl I always wanted & you stole? Don't be so idiotic, Blueberry"

"YOU KNOW VERY WELL SHE IS MINE AND MINE ALONE" he looks over at Juliet with lust in his eyes "I love you so much" he smiles to give her even a small drop of hope & strength.

Jules struggles to breathe and looks at her husband "I love you too" she whispers & smiles weakly.

Mercutio's fury grew but then gags "Oh, don't make me sick! And it's not the smell of fish that's making me sick *he gags and walks to Juliet "You've been a pain in my side for far too long you, guppy" he smirks evilly "But if you cooperate, this will be a whole lot easier...for me!" He laughs, stroking her cheek which gave her disgust.

Juliet glares at him while struggling to breath* GO. TO. HELL" she grits thru her teeth & then spit his in eye. It was the small strength she had in her but it was worthy of doing and more.

He gives her a glare with a stinging eye, making him even angrier "Don't you give me any of that, you little..." He gets ready to slap her.

"MERCUTIO! DON'T YOU DARE LAY A HAND ON HER!" Gnomeo snaps, stopping the shark prince.

"Stay out of this, Gnomy!"

"NEVER. When you mess with my wife you mess with me! & before anything, a woman is respected no matter the situation" Gnomeo lectures with anger.

Man, is this guy annoying!

"Oh shut up, you don't even know who she is. You know nothing about her or her past with me. While I have"

"I don't need to know her past to know that, besides my daughter, she is truly the only girl that I will ever love and cherish most in the world"

"Give her some, Mercutio. Can't you see you're killing here!"

"That's my point, Gnomeo. The more she weaker she gets, the sooner she'll have to tell the secrets of the star"

"But if she dies, I swear to you that I'm gonna...!"

"Ouch, your voice hurts my ears"

"Not as much as I'm going tu hurt you with my fists! SHE NEEDS WATER OR SHE'LL DIE!"

"Relax; she'll crack at any second. But until she does, I'm going to have a little fun with her"

"NO! DON'T YOU DARE PUT YOUR SIIMY & FILTHY FINGERS ON HER!"

"Ok, come on, man. You get to touch her every day, I've waited 15 years to even get this close to her, let me have this"

"NEVER! SHE'S MINE & ONLY MINE!"

"Not anymore she's not"

"Yes, I am..."

"Jules!" Gnomeo gasps, in relief she woke up and she's ok.

"I see you finally woke up so you can finally talk. Now, tell me, where's is the star and how does it work?"

"I ain't telling you nothing, Triton" she growls, with such little strength.

"Yes, you will, either you tell me where it is or you'll dry up and die"

The Juliet started laughing and they both look at her as if she was crazy "You really are still as stupid as you were a merkid, Triton. You do know that if I die, all that power passes on to the person who was given to me which is the Queen herself and I high doubt you're match for her"

Mercutio frowns, knowing she was right. He can't believe he forgot that little important detail "You're right, I need you alive and not just by the power. To also have you by my side and in my possession"

"I will never love you, Triton"

"You still don't get it, do you? I've always loved you, Juliet. Ever since the first time I saw you, I remember it like it was yesterday. It was your first day of mermaid school, the queen herself bright you and you quickly became very popular with all the other mermaid princesses, you were the only half human and half mermaid but very special indeed. I never let the other mermans go near you because you were mine, only mine but you just didn't know that, wanna know why?" because you always rejected me, always pushed me away!"

"NO! I always rejected you because they've told me that you were worthless and no good. But now I see that my mother and godmother were right. You're the worst barnacle in the sea has ever been, Triton"

He then grabs her by her neck "Queen Cordelia was wrong about me, she knew nothing about me! I would have killed you that day when you refused to give me the star but I didn't"

"Yeah, that was pretty stupid of you"

"Wanna know why I didn't? 2 reasons. 1. I needed the star and you had that power in you. And 2. Because since the day I saw you, I couldn't get you out of my head, you drove me insane"

"Literally insane!"

"Yes, I'm insane and crazy but crazy for you. And this could be your chance, give me the star and you can have all the power of the sea, along my side as my Queen. What do you say?" he gives her a smirk.

Juliet slowly turns at him with anger in her eyes. "Here's what I think of your proposal" Juliet then spits in his eyes, making him angry. "GO TO HELL AND ROT, TRITON!" She screams in his face.

"You do realize that the more you reject me, the more I want you. I just want to kiss those sweet red lips and every part of that gorgeous mermaid body" he says as he passes his hand down her body, feeling the scaly tail but it didn't bother him.

"DON'T TOUCH HER, MERCUTIO!"

"I suggest you stay out of this, Gnomy because this is a matter between her and me. Something I've been planning for 15 years and I will let you ruin this for me!" Mercutio walks up to Gnomeo and pushes him hard, getting blood out of him

"NO! NO! STOP IT! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

"Oh, you don't like when I punch your beloved prince charming? Like this..?"

"NO! NO, STOP IT!"

"TELL ME YOU'LL BE MINE!"

"NEVER!"

"Oh, your words touch them" he mocks and touches his chest where his heart is suppose to be "You seriously make me sick, Blueberry. You've always been like this, a complete show off in everything, a pathetic romantic & idiot that think he knows everything when you have no idea at all"

"Don't talk to him that way! You're just jealous because he's a real man!" Juliet sends him a weak grin getting weaker.

Triton gets surprised & angry by that comment & walks up to her in a murderous glare, just staring at her until he lifts his hands and slaps her across the face!

"Say that again, you over side tuna fish tramp! I dare you to say that again!" he growls

"LEAVE HER ALONE! Haven't you put her through enough pain!"

"Her?! She's the reason why I'm like this. Well, half of it cause the other half is your fault too but I would never hurt her, I love her. More than you can imagine"

"You sure have a funny way of showing love. If you can even call it that"

"You know, Gnomy. We may have our differences but we have the one thing in common, the same woman. Too bad I'm gonna keep her at the end" he walks up to her who was weak out of strength & he touches her brunette hair. "Oh, poor child, poor beautiful guppy, so gorgeous yet so naive to be with the wrong guy"

Juliet kept up with the heavy breathing "Don't. You. Dare. Try anything on me, or you'll be very sorry!"

No! You will be sorry, for always rejecting me sine we were kids. You were like the princess, the protective for the Queen, they never let me go near you but now..." he touches her face which made her gag. "Now that all can change" he smirks

"I will never have anything to do with you. I'd rather die!" she growls, sweating like a pig or pig fish.

"I'm not gonna necessarily kill you, my love. You exactly know what I'm gonna do with you" he smirks and then pulls out an injection with a black liquid inside it.

The blue gasps "NO, NO PLEASE NO NOT THAT!" Gnomeo was getting concerned. "What is that?"

"Something that will make her be mine at last. So if I were u, Gnomy, I go back to online dating" he chuckles and takes her arm.

Juliet perfectly knew what that was and she tried to scotch away "GET THAT AWAY FROM ME YOU MONSTER!"

"Now, now, darling, this won't hurt a bit, it will be just a small pinch and then an eternal life of being mine without you even knowing that" he grabs her shoulder and places the sharp cold needle on her skin.

"HEY GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" Gnomeo couldn't fight back being tied down.

Jules couldn't do anything by dehydration and weakening. Triton was smiling. So far his plans were working wonderfully. Juliet feels no more strength and then finally faints into a long dark sleep.

"JULIET!" Gnomeo screamed to her, scared to hell that he could have killed her.

"Now everything I planned and worked for, are all coming together" he sticks the needle in and all the poison goes down and into her blood & she doesn't even feel a thing by feeling weak.

"Soon my darling you will wake up and finally I will have everything I ever wanted. Control over the star, the power and most of all, YOU!"

"What did you do to her, demon!? he tries to break free but still no avail.

He looks his way proudly "I have to say it feels good to be the one on top for once. You were always the one to have everything. But just because you had it doesn't mean you owned it, nor did you deserve it in the first place...Now you will learn exactly how it feels to have everything you hold nearest and dearest to your heart ripped away from you and restrained from you and knowing that you're never going to get it back the way it was!" Triton chcukels.

Gnomeo was about to snap "GET AWAY FROM HER, MERCUTIO! I'M WARNING YOU THAT IF YOU DARE HURT ONE FIN OR HAIR FROM HER, I SWEAR ON MY GRAVE THAT I WILL..."

"What? You will what? It's not like there's anything you can do now...Except live with the fact that everything in your life as you know it is over! Wake up and smell the roses, Gnomy Boy. You lost. You did everything but now, I'm getting everything I always wanted and you took away from me"

"CHANGE HER BACK! I'll give you anything u want?! What do you want!? Money, my home, To kill me?! What do you want to change her back and leave my family alone!?

Triton laughs like a madman. "You are so cute when you beg like that. Do it again"

"SHUT UP & TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT ALREADY!?"

"What I want? What do I want? Is that supposed to be a question? I want everything you took away from me and now I'm finally going to get it!"

"Listen, if you wanna kill me, do it but leave my wife and my family alone! Ur inside and sick in the head, Mercutio! Let go of the past & get a life! Instead of stealing somebody else's"

"Me? If anyone stole anything it's you! You took away Juliet when she was mine to begin with. I'm simply stealing her back!"

"I NEVER STOLE HER! SHE CHOSE ME! WHY CAN'T U JUST DEAL WITH IT! YOU ARE THE PATETIC ONE HERE!

"All this fighting is rather pointless if you ask me. Sooner or later I'm going to be back on top, where I belong. Juliet will be my Queen and you...Well, you're going to get what's coming to you very soon."

"Kill me, kill me if you want but change her back. you're not gonna get away with it anyway"

"Fool I am getting away with it!"

"Not for long u won't! I know that Juliet won't let this happen either, she loves me no matter what sick twisted poison u give her

He makes a blank face. "You have no idea what she'll do when I'm through with her"

Mercutio walks to Juliet with a bucket of water & splashes the water in her face to wake her up. Quickly, Juliet's gills got moist and her strength came back and started breathing normal now but once she saw his demon face, she panicked!

"Wake up, love! Time to see if the results have kicked in"

Juliet opened her eyes and looks at the shark prince, like she was breathless. "More. Water please. I need it" that's the only thing she begged him.

Mercutio grins evilly "As you wish, sweetheart. But first, let's see if it worked" he lifts her chin & could see her eyes still brown but slowly changing to black" you're getting the dead eyes of a shark, that's a good thing " he mumbles & smirks.

Gnomeo wanted to see what was happening "Juliet, my love can you hear me! Are you alright?"

But she couldn't answer.

"Don't waste your breath, Gnomy. She's a little unstable right now, so she won't even remember her middle name" he grins. "Which is Isable" he finishes, trying to make a joke.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER?!" Gnomeo screamed furious!

Triton grins "Nothing that wasn't planned in the first place"

"What do I have to do for you to leave us alone? To let her go? Let my daughter and family alone?! What is is, Mercutio!?" Gnomeo gives him a deadly glare, to which Triton just made a mocking yawn.

*sighs* "Fine, Gnomy. Since I'm such in a good mood and been a good boy, I will tell u a story, Blue boy" he slaps the Blue's cheek mockingly "Yeah, you've earned it. I'm gonna tell you the story of who I met the jewel of the sea, the pearl of the oyster and the daughter of the sea

"I'd rather here the story of the loser psychopath that I used to call my friend "

"That's another for another time. But right now, don't interrupt, this is about the tale of the boy lonely handsome shark prince who was madly in love with the breathing beautiful half human mermaid protective of the mermaid Queen"

"What you call love I call crazy obsession"

"Whatever" he sits down to get comfortable and pulls out a cigar and smokes. "Anyways, Juliet was always a curious child, like any mermaid child in the sea. I remember the first time I set my eye son her, we were both 12 years old, she was new to the class and the Queen herself brought her. She was, well still is flawless, she made me forget that we were kids and still too young to... you know, do adult things" he said pervert.

"You're joking? You are a sick person you know that?!

"No, I'm a realist. I always had by her side. I was there all this time, watching her grow up into what she is now. And now I'm the one who's going to destroy her. Destroy all that good in her and make her into the woman I always desired to be and have her only and just for me"

"And why are u complaining, u got to go at it with her for 15 years & had a kid with her, which another reason to kill & that brat too once she forgets all about you"

"IF YOU EVEN THINK OF TOUCHING ONE THING ON MY DAUGHTER I'M GOING TO DO THE UNTHINKABLE"

"& you says I'm gonna kill that girl or you? no, no, no, Gnomy, you still don't get it. It's a good thing you're good looking cause u don't have any about oceanography"

"I'm going to be lose it if you don't start making sense fool!"

"Fine, I'll get to the point. That poison I gave her is Ursula's Ink, a very unique poison and the last of it's kind & it is to control anybody of my choice & my choice is shark"

"Why would you poison her with some crazy ink?"

"To take her under my fin, literally, DUH! Seriously, what did she ever see in you, you're too slow on everything, so annoying, I feel sorry for her to marry such a chump"

"Yeah you should be sorry... for yourself"

"Well, in exactly 24 hours, that poison will turn her blood ice cold and turn her into my image. A beautifully dangerous shark mermaid, with only one command and purpose in life: Kill" he chuckles evilly.

"NO! Change her back this instant!"

"Why?! SO much fun on this side"

"She's my wife. I want her the way she was and always has been!

Ok, I had enough of you already!" he yells angry "Time to get rid of you and let me alone with her. I even bought her these" he pulls out from a bag, a sexy black lingerie & thong.

"Man, will I have the night of my life" Triton smirks like a perv and laughs in Gnomeo's face.

Gnomeo was really about to go over the edge.

"So, I bid you good bye, Mr. has been. Literally" Mercutio presses a button on a wall and Gnomeo fall down a trap! & Gnomeo's screams went down the chute until they weren't heard no more and Mercutio was left alone with Juliet, who was once again asleep in faint.

"All too easy" he smirks evilly and thus began the next part of his plan.

Gnomeo went falling down a slide and out a waste tube out into the ocean with no idea where he could be as the waste came down on his head, getting him all dirty. But not ever that was able to break him down. His wife and family were in danger and he become much more stronger than ever, and more angrier than ever. He didn't know where he was, sadly, couldn't go back where he came out to get his wife back but no doubt he's going to disappear and take her away again. The place totally disappeared in thin air, it was there no more! How was it he going to find his Red now?

That night, Gnomeo wonder the cold wet streets, alone with only a few light posts were lighting up the streets. He was weak, tired and hungry but he kept going. With only one thought that boiled his blood to the core. How could that man he once knew as a boy, in a time they were friends, could become this demon, this Satan. How much cruelty and evil is in him, how he keeps torturing his wife. His Red that is a woman filled with life and love and loves him, her child and her family and friends and wants nothing but happiness and then comes this demon wanting nothing but to destroy that dream. Well, Gnomeo wasn't going to allow that. He took life and matrimonial vows when they got married to protect her from any danger in this life, and this was getting WAY out of hand but he swore to her and on his life, that he will get her back and bring peace to his family once again.

Many hours of wandering thru the city, he finally made it to Stratford Upon Avon, his legs were literally about to break until he finally made and opened the door to the Blue garden nearly crawling inside, with very low level of energy and high level of exhaustion.

"GNOMEO, MY BOY!" Lady Blueberry was the first one to see him and quickly hugged him like any other worried mother would be for her child.

While, Lady B was once again taking caring of his wounds, rope marks on his wrist, in the Blue garden with his parents along with the Reds and his friends. He told them everything that's happened and it was clear to them, Mercutio has completely got insane and he, Juliet, their daughter and the gardens were in danger.

"Oh my goodness. Can't believe that's happened" Lord B says

"Mercutio has really lost it" Benny adds

"And nobody can stop him"

"My poor little girl" Marina sobs

"Where is she anyway!?" Lord R raised his voice

Gnomeo looked away, depressed "Sadly, I have no idea If I don't get back to Juliet I'm going to lose everything!" he said, losing a bit of hope but not entirely.

"Then maybe you should stop looking now" a voice says, softly.

That voice. That angelic voice! It can't be!

Gnomeo and the Red and Blue slook to the direction of the voice and they were shock and terrified as if they saw a ghost! After hearing what Gnomeo told them, they couldn't who they were looking at and standing in the doorway.

"Juliet?" Gnomeo asked the obvious question as they all.

"Hi everybody" she smiles softly. She seemed real to everyone.

"OH MY GOD! MY GIRL!" Marina runs to her daughter, hugging her tight like any frighten mother does.

When they all see her coming they were shocked and relived. But at first they act kinda distant and uncomfortable towards her.

"Ju...Juliet?" Gnomeo was the one most shocked and didn't move a muscle like the others

"Oh, Gnomeo I'm so happy to see you". She runs to him for a hug but he stepped out of the way.

"No, no, it can't be. I saw you, u were weak, tied up in front of me. Mercutio had u in his possession. How did you escape?!" he was still very spooked up.

Juliet was kinda shocked as well. "Does that really matter? I'm back and I've never been so happy in my life to see you". She opens her arms for a hug. "I didn't think I'd see you again"

He was still shocked and didn't know what to say but he hugged her tight, worried about her, forgetting or not caring she escaped or not.

"You don't know how worried I was. You sure you're okay?" He asks.

"I'm fine. I just want all this to be over. So we can live in peace" She says sadly hugging him tight.

"We'll find a way to end this all sooner or later". The Blue kisses her neck. "We just have to stay alert and one step ahead, outsmart him anyway we can"

"How did u escape, my girl?" Marina comes to her and hugs her tight like any mother does.

"What did that monster do to you?" Lord R steps up.

"Mom, Dad I'm sure you have a million questions and I promise to answer them all. But I just can't right now" she rubs her head.

"Then go on, darling. Go get some rest and we'll talk in the morning, but no minute less" the older Red says with his normal strict father attitude as always.

She smiles. "I love you both so much" she hugged them

They hug their little girl tight and let her go so she can get to her home and rest up but before they go out to their garden, a small person comes running to them as if she was waiting for them after a long day at her grandparents house.

"Mummy, Daddy!" Mimi runs up to them.

"My baby girl!" Juliet bends down to her and picks her up "Oh, I missed u sooo much, my love" she kisses her like crazy and scare for her life what everybody knows what!

"I'm hungry. I want ice cream and chocolate!"

The Red laughs & kisses her little girl "I will give you ice cream, honey. And make it up to you, princess"

"You're going to make Daddy teach me how to drive?" She puts her arms out like she was driving a real mower.

Juliet laughs "Maybe. Let's see what your father says, OK?"

"When you're a big girl...or at least when you're taller. Whichever comes first" he says.

Juliet laughs again "Well, come on, baby. It's past your bedtime and we all need our rest

"Daddy has to read my bedtime story. And you have to sing me to sleep mummy!" She says as they carry her to bed.

"OK, baby girl. What story and song do u what us to tell you?" they carry her to her room and rest her down in her night gown.

She picks her book to read as Gnomeo rocks her in her chair and then he hands her to Juliet "What song?"

"Sing the song the crab from the little mermaid sings, mummy" Mimi smiles adorably

" Oooohhh, do the Jamaican accent, mon" he says with the accent. "And you know more about the life underwater and than us so you should sing it" he teases.

Juliet rolls his eyes "Ok, I'll do it" clears throat "Ok, little Rosemary, the human world is a mess and very boring. Life under the sea, is better than anything they got up here" she teases with a Jamaican accent.

Juliet with Jamaican accent:
"The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea

Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who's gon' be on the plate

Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
Under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally
Even the sturgeon an' the ray
They get the urge 'n' start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
(Yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow"

"Under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It's music to me
What do they got? A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here
know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here
Cuttin' a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea!"

Mimi laughed as Juliet sings. By the end she was practically asleep "Sweet dreams my little Mimi"

"Goodnight my beautiful princess"

They watched their little princess sleep like an angel, how they loved her so much and how they wanted to protect her. Something so pure and innocent should never be close or touched to tha face of evil. But they were unaware of the danger that was approaching their way. This nightmare has not yet done, it was still continuing and getting worst by the second. It was like a psycho was controlling their lives now.

The next morning, The Red thought it was time to spend some quiet time with her daughter; Juliet and Mimi were walking into the Red garden, so she can go play with her grandparents and her cousins and little friends. It's funny how she's the first little purple girl in the garden, other than her cousins. She loved playing with them and will later lay with her parents.

"Okay Mimi be a good girl for your grandparents while Mummy goes out and handles some business" the Red half fish half human girl as she carried her daughter thru the alley.

Mimi nods "Ok but where's daddy? I want to say goodbye to him"

Juliet chuckles as she carried her child "You're only here for the weekend honey. You'll see Daddy on Monday" They walk inside the garden.

Mimi nods "Ok, mummy. Then we can go swimming with your tail & when can I get my own tail?" she says all adorable & innocent.

Juliet laughs "Maybe we wait until you're a little bit older. But Daddy and I have something extra special planned for your birthday soon"

"YAY! Is it that new pony I asked for?! No, is it a seapony. One I can ride, but underwater, mummy" she jumps all excited makes Jules laughs,

She rolls her eyes "Uh I don't know if it's that but trust me you'll love it" She kisses her forehead. They walk over to her Parents. "Mum, Dad!"

"Juliet, my girl!" comes Lord Redbrick to them "And look here, it's my beautiful granddaughter, Little Mimi, look at you. Looking as beautiful as your mother everyday" picks up the child and kisses her cheeks.

"Thanks grandpa".

Juliet still was concern "Dad, are you sure you want to take Mimi this weekend? Gnomeo and I aren't really all that busy"

Her father smiles "Do not worry, child. Everything is going to be just fine. We'll watch an extra eye on her, knowing that she's a mini you. Always running around and never staying still but very cheerful" he kisses both his girls.

Juliet smiles "I know Daddy thanks. Gnomeo will be over later with the rest of her toys. You behave okay" she tells her child with a kiss and motherly smile.

Mimi smiles "Yes Mummy!" She coos all innocent. Juliet gives her another kiss before going elsewhere.

"Grandpa, can we go play ball later with my cousins?" Mimi says all cute and babyish, which made the old man smile.

Lord Redbrick chuckles "You're going to have to take that up with Benny and Jazmin, cutie"

That night, everything was quiet & some large men goons were sneaking into the alley, nearing the gates of the 2 gardens. It was all part of the plan. Nobody noticed or heard 2 large men coming and 1 medium size man coming behind them. it was obvious they were here to cause trouble.

"Alright remember the plan?" One said.

"Right! What plan?" The other asks.

The first guy slaps the guy so he'll get the message "Imbecile! We're going in there and swipe that Mermaid's little brat!"

"That's right! *comes out behind them Triton* U know ur jobs, u take out anybody in our way, but ;eave the brat to me. Let's see what her parents have to say about this. and after I got her in my hand, u then know what to do, gentlemen *he smirks*

"But sir how do we sneak in? They'll surely notice if we walk in the door". Triton rolls his eyes. "Who said anything about using the door" he smirks

"I don't get it? says one of them being an idiot.

Triton slaps them, irritated and annoyed. "Morons! Just let me do this!"

He pulls out a vile of his dark magic and Then just like that in a puff of black smoke they were in the garden, hidden in the shadows.

His minions were shocked by the dark magic "WHOA! What just happened!? *they were shock but Triton rolls his eyes*

"Just go to do your jobs, idiots" Triton walks ahead, hiding in the shadows, without behind seen by no one like if he was a ghost or a vampire.

The two goons snoop around looking for any sign of the girl but to no luck. "Boss we have no clue where she is"

Triton rolls his eyes "She's the only purple gnome here she's not that difficult to spot you fools!"

They get quite when Benny and Tybalt come walking past talking really loud and an older Blue woman passing by all elegant and radiant like total lieder of her garden.

Lady Blueberry walks up to her "Boys please Mimi is trying to sleep!" she demanded like a total mother, more than a leader, to let her granddaughter sleep.

Benny frowns embarrassed "Sorry, Aunt B!" he shouts to her and walk away and Triton, alone, goes to where Lady B cried which is where Mimi might be.

He follows and sneaks across the bushes to the shed and inside was a little hammock bed with a little purple girl resting peacefully. The dark leaning handsome charming shark prince takes off his mask & walks slowly to the child & he looks at her with a loving look by how innocent and peaceful she looked, just like her mother.

"Oh, what a small little flower you are. So innocent & pure" he whispers. "How you should have been mine all this time. To have you and your mother. We could have been the perfect family until your demon imbecile father took you both away from me. But no matter, you're mummy and daddy will do anything to get you back" He starts to pick her up but she starts to shake and move in her sleep

"Daddy?" She says softly, asleep.

Triton was actually being paternal "Shshhh, sleep, my child, sleep" he sprinkles some dust in her eyes and Mimi goes back to sleep like a baby in his arms.

He picks her up in her blanket and places a decoy in her bed. Triton sneaks back into the bushes and bumps into his goons. "Hey you got the girl boss!"

Triton growls as it was obvious he did "Shut up you fools let's get out of here!"

Triton smirks while carrying and walking with the child, asleep "Now know what to do, boys. Light it up" he says evilly as he walks out with the girls & the goons stay behind, as they hold gallons of gas.

"LET'S LIGHT FIRE! WHHHOOO HOOO!"

They use a little bit of gasoline and matches to start little soaks of fire here and there and then join Trition outside. They set fire to the door to make sure they can't get out. "PRECIOIS ROASTING PRINCESS! PRECIOUS ROASTING PRINCESS!" cackels, stupidly, making a fire circle around him.

"Hey, is it me or is it hot here? FIRE!" he says and jumps out of his circle but then laughs like a maniac.

"Oh, come on, you idiot!" the guy dragged his goof friend as they continue with the incident that's not very incident.

Triton smirks at his work, as the fire reflects on his gray eyes. "Let's see if they can get out of this one" he smirks evilly as he carries the child baby like.

Meanwhile, the red & blues haven't notice the fire by being asleep but Benny starts to smell smoke*

Benny smells some "Hey, is something burning!?" he yells, without opening his eyes to sleep more.

Then Tybalt smells the smoke too "Smells like smoke. Did somebody let the BBQ on again!?"

"Somebody must be barbecuing somebody" he tosses around on the ground, trying to sleep.

But Benny wasn't convinced. "No. It definitely smells like something's burning. It kinda smells delicious actually. Something like..."

Then Featherstones comes busting in "FIRE!"

But Benny ignored him "Yeah Gracias, Feather stone!" cuddled his pillow, trying to sleep.

"NO! The place is on FIRE! FUEGO! FUEGO!"

Benny and Tybalt get shocked "WHAT!?"

They shout and run outside & see red & blue trying to put of the fire that was getting bigger by the second, burning every plant and flower in it's way.

"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!"

NO TIME TO BLAME WHO DID THIS, WE HAVE TO HELP! *they run to help and the leaders see this*

LR: WHO DID THIS!? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!?" that's when they remember someone important! "Mimi, where is my granddaughter!" they run to the shack where they left her.

They all shouted in shock "MIMI!" They shout and run to her bed but she was not there. "WHERE IS SHE!?" they all search the room until they find a note from the demon himself but it wa snot to them, it was for somebody who this demon wanted to get this note.

"A note!" They all read it together and scream. "THAT MONSTER TOOK My GRANDDAUGHTER?"

Benny then speaks "What are we going to do?! What are Gnomeo and Juliet going to do when they find out?"

"Find out what?"

They all gasp in shock & see that star crossed couple coming in. UH OH! What will they say or act on when they tell them, they lost their only child!?

Juliet steps in "Hey, what's going on, why is are the gardens burned & ashes?!" she notices the garden almost burnt and with some flowers and plants burnt to ashes. She was worried of what could have happened.

They all look at each other thinking who's going to tell them the bad news?

Juliet grew concern "What's going? What happened here? & where's Mimi?" she looks at them worried. But none of them said a word.

Tybalt pushes Benny forward, to pressure him "Go on Benny. Tell them!"

Benny denies "No! I think it be better if you tell them!"

Tybalt shakes his head "No I insist they hear it from you"

"I'm not telling them!" Benny snaps.

"Neither am I!" Tybalt goes on as the 2 wanted to keep at this.

"Somebody's got to tell them!" Nanette yells and that's when they all look to their parents.

"Gnomeo, Juliet your parents have something to tell you!" Benny steps in, to give the elders the hard job.

The 4 parents, Red & Blue look at each other, not knowing which one to tell their children the horrible news.

Gnomeo was getting impatient "Can somebody tell us already what is happening!? WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?!

There was a sudden silence….

To Be Continued….
