Romeo & Juliet Alternate Ending

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

I'm bored, and I've been wanting to write this for a while. This is my Romeo and Juliet Alternate Ending that I wrote for my English class, and by the way, I got a 100% and a smiley face on this. At first, I was going to rewrite the whole last act, but that took up so much time, so I decided to just rewrite the last act, which took me two days to write. So yeah, enjoy my alternate ending of Romeo and Juliet!!!

P.S.: Don't let the length fool you. Its actually 2,060 words,  but I wrote it like how it was wrtten in our English book.

ACT V

Scene 3. A churchyard; in it, a monument belonging to the Capulet’s.

Enter PARIS and his PAGE with flowers.

Paris

Hand me that flashlight, boy. Stay back.

Turn off yours and mine would be off as well, so I won’t be seen.

Go stand guard under those trees, so no one shall pass by.

Whistle to me as warning when someone is near.

Hand me those flowers, so I could give dear Juliet one last gift.

Page

Remember sir, for I am still a child, and is still afraid to be here alone in the dark.

But I’ll swallow that fear tonight, and brave the darkness.

Paris

Such beautiful flowers, I bring for my deceased bride, to match her beauty.

My sorrowful tears fall for you,

And the night gives me cover as I weep.

[BOY whistles]

Has someone arrived to this graveyard, at such a late hour?

Who is this person?

 [Enter ROMEO and BALTHASAR with a crowbar and a pickax]

Romeo

Hand me the pickax and the crowbar.

Hold onto this letter will you, Balthasar? In the morning see to it that you deliver this letter to my family.

Give me the flashlight. If you hear or see anything

Stay where you are and don’t interrupt me no matter what.

I’m going in to give a ring to Juliet so she can forever wear it.

A very precious ring that I need for important business.

If curiosity gets the better of you and you come in,

I swear to God, I will kill you

And feed your body to the coyotes, understood?

Balthasar

I understand and will not give you any trouble, sir.

Romeo

Thank you for showing your loyalty.

Live life well and goodbye, friend.

Balthasar (aside)
