5.5 Romeo, Romeo

1999

Dear diary, I'm really confused and frustrated. I'm in love but my love is my family's wedding. And my new stepfather is the brains behind my kidnapping from the other month. 

First there's a rumour that the green-eyed masked man stopped into the school and prevented another fight between a Berjsens cousin Madison and my own cousin, Jude Corleonesi

The other day I was running around the town to get stuff for Mom's wedding but I needed to get some coffee because of being up so early but I was also running late to get dresses from the store for Mom's wedding.  I was running and I crashed into a young red hair and green eyed man. He was very kind in helping me up after we crashed into each other.

 He even asked if I was alright.  I do wonder if he's the green-eyed masked man from the other month.. but don't think that possible do you? 

The day before Mom's wedding some one  the latest Mrs. Purdue

 came by. We really don't like the Purdue family she married into because her late in-laws, were responsible for putting my late grandma in jail, under false charges. 

Mrs .Purdue said she had something to tell me, and she couldn't tell me in my Mom's house ('walls have ears"). I had some instincts and decided that she's probably good.  She took me to a hideout.  Mrs .Purdue (who told me to call her Asia), that "Your soon-to-be-stepfather is behind your attempted kidnapping from spring time."  I was shocked with the news about this business. I asked if she was sure after I had a flashback from that night.  She said she was-we then sat down while she told me the story of Reg, coming to talk to Asia's husband, Danre 

"Mr. Baron came over to our house and sat down on the couch to talk to Danre.  I happened to be in the house since it was after works hours.  But I knew this was something really important, so I stopped doing what I was doing in the kitchen, and quietly did a Laura Secord-you do know whom Laura Secord is right?"   I replied "Yes, I do she's the one who was able to help  British people win War of 1812. "    Asia continued, "Well what I heard was crazy." 

Mr. Baron said "Danre.. I need you and someone else to kidnap someone for me."

Danre replied "whom is it?"  Mr. Baron said "one of my girlfriend, Elizabeth's  daughters."

Danre said "But why..do you want to kidnap one of Duchess Elizabeth Swanson's daughters? And wouldn't that lead to you?"  Mr. Baron said back "I have no idea, why Lady Juliet has to be kidnapped, but that's what my boss wants."  Mr Baron and Danre talked for a long time and eventually after Mr. Baron said, "after I marry Duchess Elizabeth, I will pay you a huge sum of money for the attempted kidnaping."   Dane asked "Did your boss ask you to marry Duchess Elizabeth as well?"  Mr. Baron shook his head "Nope, that's just a me thing. And Her Grace the Duchess of Windenburg isn't quiet ready to propose to me"  And Danre said "Fine, I know someone who needs money, he will help"  and then he left the house." 

"

Asia told me I could tell my sister but no one else. Because we don't how much brainwashed my mother is by Reg.  Asia said that in exchange for the behaviour of her late in-laws, that she was giving me the hideout which was where, the bribes were made that originally got Grandma America into jail.

 

The next day, the wedding day  I took my sister Hailey and informed her about the news of our soon-to be stepfather being the brains behind the kidnaping.  She was as shocked as I was when I learned that.  Hailey tried to suggested that we tell Mom, so that she could break off the wedding.  But I said, "Nope, it's too risky, because it would be my word's against Reg's due to him not actually being there even with Asia's as a witness . Also Mom might be very brainwashed by Reg and not believe me."  

Later that day Mom and Reg got married in a lovely ceremony Hailey wasn't too happy about being forced to be a bridesmaid, since she hates being clean and prefers being messy. What I didn't know was the young red-head man was  there at the wedding as well. 

 I was rushing to get to my seat at the reception but the green-eyed red headman for some reason was needing to get something from the altar and crashed into me again   I wonder how many times we might end up running into each other before the end of this generation?  But once again he was such a sweet man-that he asked if I was alright after he helped me up from the ground.   I'm now so in love with him now.  But as soon as got something from the altar he went back to his seat.  I got some shocking news,  

Our Cousin McKinley came over and said "You know that young man you're can't take your eyes from ? The one which accidently crashed you into the ground?"  I said "Yes, what about him?"  Cousin Mckinley said "Well, I have news for you,  he's Dauphine Romeo, the son of Emperor Orlando, in other words, your family's enemy family. I highly doubt you guys will be able to be together."  I replied "Love will find a way even if we have to make our own world"    I have no idea where those words even popped out from but they did.  But McKinley just rolled her eyes at me "Yeah, right.."  I went to sit down but I noticed, that McKinley also told Dauphine Romeo the news about whom I was and he was shocked as I was. 

That night I was very upset about  the news about Romeo.  That I went onto the balcony outside my room and was lamenting to myself "Romeo, Romeo, why do you have thy father's name, deny thy father, and I will no longer be a Swanson"  Romeo happened to be down below my balcony and said "I would, but I don't think my father would like it!"    

He then climbed up and we went into my room, and we talked for a bit and I even had my first kiss with him! We did realized that when we were kids we literally having a "Once Upon a Dream" moment with each other and I had always just assumed the "boy" in it was just my imagination especially when he only showed up when my parents were having trouble before getting divorced   He also told me he was the masked man who saved me from the other semi-masked men back in the spring. He also did stop our cousins from fighting in the school as the same costumed person

But the good times had to end because my sister Hailey knocked on the door claiming that Mom wanted to see me (She didn't, it just Hailey was getting concerned about hearing two voices coming from my room)..  And Romeo left my room going down the same steps he came up from.

Dear Diary, I'm so upset, I'm in love with my Dad's rival family eldest daughter, Lady Juliet.  My Dad would be ticked off if he knew.  I never meant to fall in love with Juliet but I think I loved her since the day I actually meet her when I was in the masked Flash costume 

A couple of days earlier I had been at the nightclub bar moaning over my distant Cousin Madison.  A couple of days later, I got a letter saying I needed to go on a walk at a certain place at a certain time, in Willow Creek that night. And after recusing someone to get Tony.   I did so and that's when Juliet in distress was there being in distress. I technically fought both of them other, but then walked one in the bathroom, afterwards and got Juliet out of there.

*Some months earlier before Juliet's kidnapping*

A new man  visited the Enrichment castle in Windenburg  His name was Scar Mussells. He was the husband of Harper Lyons  He is the leader  of Willow Creek & Magnolia Blossom, Oasis Springs, and Suhani. His next stop is Windenburg.   But  he  want to make sure nothing was going to get into his way of taking over  and keeping Windenburg.  I mean he already had a man involved with a couple of  towns a Mr. Baron

At the castle, the Main priest was not there but the priestess-in-training, Mistress Ford was there.  Scar Mussells said "I would like to know if there's anything which might prevent me from taking over and keeping Windenburg along with keeping the other towns I already took over... No worry, the monarchs can stay but only as figure heads." 

Kayle  Ford "Sure I can tell you for a price" 

Scar said "So what's the price?"

Kayle: "You give me a deep-tissue massage, a hand massage, a foot massage and both a manicure and a pedicure" 

Scar "You aren't excepting me to cook supper for your as well?"

Kayle: "Depends on how bad the massages' and pedicure and manicures are" 

Scar Mussells did a really good job in the massages and in the manicure and pedicure departments as well 

They went into the main room where most of the priest/priestess was done and Kayle shook one of the weird devices in there. What she discovered was bad news  and told Scar 

When Northern Dancer's descendants mate with their rival Northern Flight's descendants they will have a horse and a donkey and the donkey will leap over the elephant.

Scar was not very happy with the news and yelled "WHY ARE YOU SO WORTHLESS AND INCOMPENT AND WHAT AM I PAYING YOU FOR?"   Since he knew whom the two families were even if they weren't stated outright by the prophecy who hadn't heard of the Swanson dynasty or their rivalry with the Royal Berjsens family? 

Kayle said "You aren't paying us anything" and under her breathe said "stupid customer"

Scar raised his eyebrows and said.. "what did you just call me?"  

Kayle "Nothing sir."

Scar said "Good"

He finished his trip to the castle with a pray at the Governor Ratcliffe, god of Politicians and left 500simloeans in the box.

Scar then went to Willow Creek and visited Mr. Regulus Baron there because he had an idea which might be able to prevent the two families from meeting. He already knew from snail mail that Regulus had started to infiltrated the Swanson family as Elizabeth Swanson newest partner.  Scar didn't think it will last for longer then a year before Regulus would be out in the cold with Elizabeth. 

Scar Mussells "Hey, I just went to the Enrichment castle in Windenburg and got some news and he repeated the prophecy to Regulus.   Regulus was shocked by the prophecy.   Scar then said "I know whom the prophecy was talking about but I want to be able to keep them apart."    . 

Regulus "So what's the plan to keep the two families whom for some reason you aren't naming.. why do I suspect its  Elizabeth's family?"   Scar said "Yes it's her family.  The plan is to kidnap one of her daughters and keep her here or something until I take over the Windenburg." 

Regulus said "um only one problem with that.. because I'm known to the family-not Elizabeth's daughters not yet anyway but Elizabeth herself wouldn't one of the first places cops would look would be my house?"

Scar said "Oh right .maybe we could find a trailer park nearby and keep her there until the noise dies down and move her over here?"   Scar then added "Well anyway..do you know of any men that could help with the kidnapping?"

Regulus said "Yes I do know of a man who knows people. I will talk to him tomorrow" 

Scar Mussells then went home and the next two nights he had dreams of a locked up Juliet.
