A Shadow of Tomorrow

Act 5, SCENE 3: MODIFICATION
PARIS
Oh my Juliet, why do you need to die? Why did you leave me just before our wedding? How can a woman like you leave me like these?  I would rather die to be with you, than to live in this world without my beloved whom I adore more than my life. (Paris heard someone, going in.) What’s that noise? Is anybody here? Is that a Montague?
ROMEO
(Without him knowing that Paris is there.) My wife, what had just happen to you? You promised me that we will cherish every moment when I come back after I was exiled from Verona. (Crying)
PARIS
Your wife? How come that Juliet is your wife? (Paris gets his sword)
ROMEO
(He doesn’t mind the presence of Paris even though Paris was already set for a fight.) He gets the poison that he bought from the Apothecary. He started to open it but suddenly...
PARIS
Isn’t that the poison which will stop the beat of heart in just a second? Give me that poison so I can be with the woman I love. (Paris drinks the poison and dies)
ROMEO
(He was shocked in witnessing the death of Paris and suddenly he heard Friar Lawrence going inside the Capulets tomb)
FRIAR LAWRENCE
Romeo?
ROMEO
Friar Lawrence, what just happen to Juliet? What the reason of his death?
FRIAR LAWRENCE
(He saw that Capulet and Lady Capulet is going to visit their daughter’s tomb) I will just explain to you later Romeo, but for now let’s hurry because the Capulets are here. (He grabs Romeo’s hand and run as fast as they could.)
After an hour, Capulet and Lady Capulet just finished their visit to their daughter’s tomb.
ROMEO
Friar Lawrence, let’s go back to Juliet’s tomb. Capulets already went away. I still want to be with the woman I love. (He saw Juliet’s hand move)  Friar, did you just see that?
FRIAR LAWRENCE
See, what, Romeo?
JULIET
(Wakes up) Romeo? (Hugs Romeo)
FRIAR LAWRENCE
(Explains everything that happened from the start then exit)
ROMEO
(Kisses Juliet and kneels) Juliet, will you marry me again?
JULIET
Yes, Romeo, yes. (Kisses Romeo)
(Montagues and Capulets enter together with Prince Escalus)
MONTAGUE
Romeo?
CAPULET
Juliet?
ROMEO AND JULIET
Father? (Holding hands)
CAPULET
You don’t have to explain everything to me Juliet, Friar Lawrence already did. As long as you’re alive, my daughter, I will be happy for you.
MONTAGUE
Are you okay my son? I was really worried for you since you were banished to Mantua.
PRINCE ESCALUS
So when will be the second wedding of Romeo and Juliet, a wedding that will be known by every single person in Verona and a wedding that will be witnessed by their family?
FRIAR LAWRENCE
Do I really need to do that kind of thing to bring back the peace in Verona?
(Montague and Capulet hugs each other and laughs together)
PRINCE ESCALUS
You did a good job Friar Lawrence.
FRIAR LAWRENCE
My honor Prince Escalus, I just did what you told me to do so.
In the very, very next day, Romeo and Juliet married again which was led by Friar Lawrence. This marriage leads to the peace in Verona between the feuding families of Montagues and Capulets and now turned into one great happy family.
ROMEO
I LOVE YOU, JULIET
JULIET
I LOVE YOU, ROMEO
<3 (A KISS ENDS THE STORY OF ROMEO AND JULIET) <3
