Aeolus tried to stop Theia, but rolled his eyes as it was too late. He sighed, this version of the play was going to be so screwed. Aeolus and Paris were both probably not going to speak in Shakespearean language, and Paris was probably going to pop in at random moments so his character can have a bigger roll, or role... whatever. Seeing is son twitch to jump in too Aeolus placed his paw, almost the size of Paris's face, on his back, holding him down firm to stay where he was till it was his turn to enter.

Alas, why did it have to come to this? So typical of Mother. Juliet sighed, and whispered in Theia's ear,"Oh, Mother! Why must you ruin the show? 'Romeo and Juliet' is not of great white shark a-hunting! Nay, we must return to our gaven lines." And with this, she skipped forward in the play a little until,"Good-morrow, cousin."
Theia blinked, rather disappointed with the lack of excitement, and answering,"No, tis not morning! Is it not afternoon here? Perfect time for a shark baiting! Lo! Let us not go?" She paused, thinking,"Let's go already!" And with that, she started bouncing toward the beach.
Juliet sighed, yet another masterpiece destroyed by the antics of shark hunting. Ah well, it was too late to change it, was it not? Might as well play along. "Oh, dear cousin! Why must you always be so obsessed with thy shark hunting?" She grabbed two sticks nearby and snapped them together to act as the clip board thingy. T'was Scene 2 now.

Aeolus sighed, why must Theia turn everything they do into something dangerous? Lifting his paw off of Paris they followed them down towards the beach, remembering when Theia splashed him and got is wound full of fricken salt water!
Once there he looked around for a good place, seeing a boulder. He gently grabbed Theia by the scruff of her neck with his teeth, "come on, I promise we'll go great white shark hunting later, after we finish up the play, okey?"
Paris sat by his sister on the beach, Juliet hadn't said Capulet's lines yet, but it'd still make sense anyways if he said them now. "Of honorable reckoning are you both; And pity 'tis you lived at odds so long and full of loathe. But now, my lord, what say you to my suit, and my Ford?" He stopped himself from giggling for saying he had a Ford. Well, he was suppose to make Paris look like the perfect match anyways.

Theia pouted,"But...but, tis the perfect time to go a shark hunting now, don't you think so?" No fair, why did Aeolus just have to go and ruin all the fun? Anyways, this wasn't going to be Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet', nay! It was going to be Theia's version of it, and shark hunting was included in it.
Alas, she had forgotten to say Capulet's lines. Ah well, might as well deal with it,"But saying o'er what I have said before: My child is yet a stranger in the world; She hath not seen the change of fourteen years, Let two more summers wither in their pride, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride." O, how strange it felt talking about Father like this, she couldn't suppress a giggle at the thought of Father being a girl of fourteen.

Aeolus shook his head, "I like my paws and my toes intact for now." He watched, this felt awkward...
"Younger than she are happy fa-mothers made, any older and the sooner that love fade." He quickly caught himself before he said father, also not able to hold down a giggle or two.
Aeolus growled slightly and pinned his ears back.

Theia giggled at Juliet's and Pari's act. Fun, fun, fun! "But...but...is not shark hunting fun? And I'm pretty sure that the sharks are berry berry nice! The most the sharks can do to you is eat you! So that's not too bad, or is it?" She grinned happily, bobbing her head up and down once more.
"And too soon marr'd are those so early made. The earth hath swallow'd all my hopes but she, She is the hopeful lady of my earth: But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart, My will to her consent is but a part; An she agree, within her scope of choice Lies my consent and fair according voice. This night I hold an old accustom'd feast..." Juliet continued with the long recital, giggling a bit at Father's discomfort. She then mimed giving a piece of paper to herself, and then saying as the Capulet,"Go, sirrah, trudge about Through fair Verona; find those persons out Whose names are written there, and to them say, My house and welcome on their pleasure stay." And thus was the exit of Paris and Capulet. Then saying as the servant,"Find them out whose names are written here! It is written, that the shoemaker should meddle with his yard, and the tailor with his last, the fisher with his pencil, and the painter with his nets; but I am sent to find those persons whose names are here writ, and can never find what names the writing person hath here writ. I must to the learned.--In good time."
Now, t'was time for Romeo and Benvolio to enter once more,"Tut, man, one fire burns out another's burning, One pain is lessen'd by another's anguish; Turn giddy, and be holp by backward turning; One desperate grief cures with another's languish: Take thou some new infection to thy eye, And the rank poison of the old will die."
Theia wiggled out of Aeolus's grasp and jumped back in happily, saying,"Lo! Why must my dear Benvolio say so gloomy a predicament? My brother, we must go a shark hunting together! What fun it shall be! Tis a perfect way to cheer one so gloomy as you up!"

Once the speech was finished Paris rushed rushed over to his father, slightly unsatisfied with his lack of lines. He hoped that 'Benvolio' wasn't going to let 'Romeo' go out and go great white shark hunting, though he did want to jump in and mess things up too like his mother was doing. "How was that dad!? Was I not quite rad?" He couldn't wait to see Aeolus's reaction.
Aeolus smacked his forehead, oh goodness at Theia's behavior... He looked at Paris, "um, yeah, sure..." He hid his smirk seeing Paris's disappointment to the plain reaction.

Alas, what was with all this shark hunting? Indeed it sounded rather dangerous and certainly not fit for 'Romeo and Juliet'! Nay, Juliet shall not allow it. "Why, Romeo, art thou mad?" Quite frankly, she thought that 'Romeo' was more than a little mad.
Theia laughed,"Nay! Dear cousin, I'm not mad! Tis but cheerfulness that I think that thou may never have experienced before." She paused, thoughtfully,"Well, me supposes I did eat a bit too much sugar than that was good for me...anyways, are we going shark baiting or not?"
Yah, so much for a bit too much sugar, it looked a much bigger than a bit sugar overdose. Setting the shark questioni aside, she said as the servant,"God gi' god-den. I pray, sir, can you read?"
Theia blinked, quite surprised,"I don't know, perhaps I can, perhaps not...dunno." Frankly, she wasn't sure if she could read, what did 'read' mean anyway?
Juliet sighed, what was the world coming to? "Perhaps you have learned it without book: but, I pray, can you read any thing you see?"
"Nay! I do not know what thy means! How may I read anything thy sees, if there are no letter on it?"
Juliet sighed, this didn't seem to be working, ah well, might as well 'read' it herself',"'Signior Martino and his wife and daughters; County Anselme and his beauteous sisters; the lady widow of Vitravio; Signior Placentio and his lovely nieces; Mercutio and his brother Valentine; mine uncle Capulet, his wife and daughters; my fair niece Rosaline; Livia; Signior Valentio and his cousin Tybalt, Lucio and the lively Helena.' A fair assembly: whither should they come?"
Theia confused with all the names at the Romeo lines that Juliet had recited, asked energetically,"So that's the part for the shark hunting, right? Okie-dokeys, sounds like good friends to be with on our wild adventure for a shark hunting! Perhaps we shall make friends with the sharks as well!"

Aeolus and Paris slapped their foreheads. Aeolus was beginning to wonder if they should just ignore Theia's lines about sharks and he should say her lines from the background. Yes, that'd probably be best until I have to get on stage... Deciding to skip some stuff he spoke Romeo's line, "when the devout religion of mine eye maintains such falsehood, then turn tears to fires; and these, who often drown'd could never die, transparent heretics, be burnt for liars! One fairer than my love! The all-seeing sun ne'er saw her match since first the world begun."

Theia blinked, was Juliet in already or was Aeolus just stealing her lines? She looked at him curiously asking,"Hey Juliet! Do ya wanna go a shark hunting too? It's going ta be fun!" She bounced up and down happily, and paused,"And...ahhh...what were you talking about before? It was about volcanoes right, with all the fires and stuffs?"
Juliet gave a sigh of relief, at least Father had taken up Mother's line at present, she replied as Benvolio,"Tut, you saw her fair, none else being by, Herself poised with herself in either eye: But in that crystal scales let there be weigh'd Your lady's love against some other maid That I will show you shining at this feast, And she shall scant show well that now shows best."

Aeolus sighed. "I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, but to rejoice in splendor of mine own." Seeing the scene end he got up and began to walk towards them, ushering Theia to behave till it was her time to get back on stage.
Paris got ready to run in at any random moment.

Theia pouted, it was time for her to get of the stage already? Unfair!
Juliet did the clipboard thingy again indicating that it was now scence 3, a room in Capulet's house. It was yet another time for her to act as two people once more. As Lady Capulet, "Nurse, where's my daughter? call her forth to me." Then switching positions, she replied as the nurse,"Now, by my maidenhead, at twelve year old, I bade her come. What, lamb! what, ladybird! God forbid! Where's this girl? What, Juliet!" T'was now time for Father to enter.

Aeolus sighed and padded over, "how now! Who calls?" Twitching once, he sat down. Oh gawd, this was humiliating... Though, at least it was better than what Theia had in mind, though than again him being Juliet was also Theia's idea. This must of meant there was something wrong with her. But then again, from the day he met her he knew something was wrong and he wanted to exterminate her. At least their children were sane.

"Your mother." acting as the nurse, Juliet replied. O, how strange it felt doing this, Father as a girl! She tried to stiffle another little giggle, fun, fun, fun!
"Are ya sure that we can't go shark hunting?" Theia whined, trying to use her puppy eyes on everybody. The play was already getting a bit dull, it need more excitement, FLAVOR! And what could be better than shark hunting? Maybe they could get some of those cool shark teeth while they were at it!

"Madam, I am here. What is your will?" He glared at Juliet and her giggles. So not funny! Dammit, why do I have to be Juliet!? He sighed at Theia, her puppy dog eyes were not going to work, nuh-uh, not this time. He held firm, foxes, yes, volcanoes, yes, kids, maybe, but not sharks, no way no how. Next she was gonna ask if they could go sky-diving, another absolute no-no.
