(Adapt from Act 2 Scene 3)
The garden is full of flowers, sunlight shining, birds singing.
Friar Lawrence comes in with a basket in his hands.
Friar Lawrence
What a bright morning! Shines away all the darkness from the sad night.
Look at all those amazing images reflexing on the sky,
The sunshine just burns all the chaos and doom into ashes.
Now, I need to fill my basket with all the poisonous herbs and amazing flowers.
Mother Earth, you granted us the nature, our lives!
We lived and died at your embraces, keep alive with your gifts.
No creature is the same as the other, and yet all beautiful.
The herbs, plants and stones are the essence of the true nature,
Only the good should exists, with no evilness.
Yet the evilness can be corrected by the right action.
Romeo walks slowly toward Friar Lawrence, with a frown on his face.
However, inside the little rind of this flower, is full of both poison and cures.
A smell of it, is able to make the day better.
A taste of it, goes straight into your heart.
The opposing powers are always fight against each other,
Both human and herbs,
Both graceful and cruel.
Good morning, my dear Friar Lawrence.
Friar Lawrence smiles back.
God is with you.
Oh, here comes my son, the sweetest voice in the morning greets me.
Isn't it a bit early to be awake and leave your bed?
Is something wrong?
Every old man has worries, right through our eyes.
With the old man's cares, rest may never dies for them.
There must be something in your mind, twisting in all the empty areas.
Our young blood Romeo had not been into bed last night.
Romeo stops and looks up, says sadly:
You did make the right guess, I had a rest rather than sleep.
Friar Lawrence responds disappointedly.
May God forgives you!
Did you spend the night with Rosaline?
Romeo getting emotional, shouts out:
Rosaline? She had passed away in my world forever.
All the sadness? Gone!
All the love? Gone!
Friar Lawrence goes back to calmness.
That sounds right, but where did you go then...
Romeo responds secretly,
Stop asking, I'll confess.
I went the the Capulets' gigantic party.
And my heart just stopped, turned into fire when I looked at her, only you can cure us.
I have no hostility toward the Capulets, because my decision will benefit them.
Friar Lawrence puts his hand on Romeo's shoulder, trying to appease his emotions.
Don't worry, just tell me about it.
A good confession can help you clear up your mind.
Romeo suddenly starts crying, whimpering:
I had a crush on the wealthy daughter of Capulets'.
I'm so in love with her, while she just loves me back.
You have to hold our wedding, please!
I have to exchange vows with her, saying we love each other.
Yes, we have to marry today!
Please, father, please!
Friar Lawrence gets shocked, starting to stuttering.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
This is a bit too much for me,
Are you telling me that you forget about the Roseline,
Whom you are talking about every single day?
Young people like you are just so superficial on your loves.
For the god's sake, I can't even count how many times you cry for Roseline.
Please!
You can't just change your mind like that, my son,
Love is harsh yet being young is sharper!
Now you just turn back and walk away so quickly?
No wonder why girls are unreliable when boys are worse!
Romeo depressed
You're just blaming me for forgetting about Roseline.
Friar Lawrence angrier
But I didn't tell you to love someone else!
Romeo still depressed
Stop judging, father.
She is the only girl that actually likes me back.
Friar Lawrence sighs, nods his head and agreed
Fine, young man, I will forgive you.
Also, I will hold the marriage for you and the girl,
Of course, secretly...
I just hope your family to stop fighting, with the love of you young bloods.
No more hates.
Romeo finally smiles.
See you father, I'm in a hurry.
Friar Lawrence smiles back
Be careful, my son.
