This is what happens when Jemima and Linda stay up late at night, everyone. Romeo and Juliet, 667 style. Act one: Linda Act two: Jemima Act three: Linda Act four: I can't remember. It's late. I think we're both writing it Act five: Jemima
Disclaimer: Linda wrote this between 2:30 and 3:30 am, and probably wasn't thinking as clearly as she usually does. Please don't kill her if you don't like the ideas she and Jemima come up with late at night. Also, she meant for this to be kind of cheesy and stupid. Maybe. I seriously can’t think at all this late at night. I need sleep.
Act One
The Plastickets were having a party in MM. As usual, they gave no warning whatsoever, but simply began to party. Akbar sat in his room. “What’s the matter?” Luis asked. “Alice doesn’t like me,” Akbar said sadly. “Hey, guys, I’ve got an idea,” Erik said, walking up. “The Plastickets are having a party. Let’s go crash it!” “Erik, this is kind of a bad time,” Luis hissed, nodding toward Akbar. But Akbar shook his head and smiled. “Yeah, let’s go crash their party. It’ll take my mind off things.” And so Luis, Erik, and Akbar got some disguises and snuck into the party.
The mischevious three were not the only ones wearing disguises to the party. It was a masked ball, and almost everyone had concealed their identities. Most of the Plastickets, however, made it perfectly obvious who they were under their masks. Akbar spotted Lord Sora Plasticket and Lady Annankate greeting the various guests by the refreshment table and steered his friends clear of them, remembering his family's lifelong grudge. Erik noticed the unmistakable figure of SetnicK, Sora's niece, fingering a rapier in a deserted doorway, and went to go argue with her. He was apparently confident that his disguise would protect his identity. Luis noticed Kyle standing with a large group of adoring young women and rolled his eyes, then tried to lure one of them away with his charm. This left Akbar alone to explore the party. He noticed unhappily that Alice was part of the group of adoring young ladies, and trudged away from the group to find someone else to speak with. Suddenly, he spotted one young lady who was all by herself. She was watching Kyle shyly from a distance, but didn't flock to the group. Then she took off her mask, and Akbar stopped dead in his tracks. This girl was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She had fair skin, penetrating eyes, and the most majestic hair he had ever seen - raven black with soft, warm curls that framed her flawless face perfectly. Akbar's mouth hung open, and he staggered towards her. "What is your name? I must know!" he croaked. "Char. Charlotte Plasticket," she said breathelessly. "And who are you, my good sir?" "I'm...Akbar Pontague," he said, lowering his voice and wincing a bit. He looked around to make sure no one else had heard. "Pontague? Son of Dupin Pontague?" Char said fearfully. "But...the Pontagues and the Plastiskets are sworn enemies!" "Yes, they are," Akbar said. "But...I love you." "I love you too, Akbar," Char said. "Please, could you take off your mask?" And almost instantly, Akbar's mask was off. He was so completely focused on Char that he did not notice Lady Annankate walking towards him. Luis and Erik both turned in horror and saw Annankate advancing towards a maskless Akbar. They tried to get his attention, but it was too late. “Ha, that’s funny,” Annankate said. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you looked like that whiny editor, Akbar.” Akbar’s face contorted in anger before he could stop himself, and Luis gulped. Annankate saw this, and narrowed her eyes. “Hey, wait a second...” “It is Akbar!” SetnicK shouted. “Those guys aren’t Plastickets! Get them!” “What are you doing with our daughter Char?” Sora asked angrily. Erik grabbed Akbar by the shirt collar and took off running towards the nearest exit. “Run, Akbar! Run!” Char cried, while her nurse, Pandora, tried to take her away up to her room. The three friends ran at top speed to escape the angry Plastickets, but not before Akbar called back to Char, “We will meet again!”

Hahahaha, nice, but it's far too compressed. I hope you draw it out a bit more in the next few acts.

That was special. My hair isn't raven black, it's dark chocolatey brown or something nice sounding. Flesh it out!!

Hey, I just read it and that's now how Romeo and Juliet goes! Capulet doesn't do anything about Romeo being there, it's Tybalt, and Romeo had to kiss her before he leaves!
Plus, you mustn't forget the scene where they make out in Juliet's pool.

Oh, wow, missed this.
I always approve of Akchar but thanks for the mention. I'd make a rocking Rosalin(e).
Yay for lovers meeting again and for rewriting Shakespeare.
