Act 2 Scene 2

The Balcony Scene


[Timeo comments on Bartcutios joking]

Timeo: Pfft! Like I care. That situation is moot.( Note: Candy for YJ fans. 'The situation is moot' is Tims catch phrase)

[Ciciliaet enters at a window above and stand on a balcon. She does not know that Timeo is nearby]

Timeo:What was that![Pulls out a batarang]
Oh.....its Cicilia.
I bet all the other girls in Young Justice are envious of her beauty!
Shes so perfect in every way!
Her cheeks are rosy
And her lips are so full and shapely.
Her bright eyes shine and spakle in the moonlight with their innocence
But innocence is for the foolishly niiave at heart.
Leave it with your childhood. Your a woman now.
I wish she was my girlfriend...
But I dare to even dream it.
Her face tells it all though.
She loves me as much as I love her.
But shes not looking at me.
Shes looking to the stars.
Maybe she loves astonomy and the greek tales of adventure that goes with them.
...
Now she's leanig her hand against her cheek.
Ohhhh, I wouldgive anything to gently stroke that cheek.

Ciciliaet: Oh boy

Timeo:Please talk again!
I could just listen for hours to your voice.

Ciciliaet: Wheres Timeo?
I wish he was here
I wish he wasn't a Montague.
Please change your name!
Or.....I'll change mine!
Then my mother won't be able to live vicariously through me anymore,

Timeo: I....I should say something.....but.....Maybe I'll just let her continue.

Ciciliaet: Besides, Mom and Dad shouldn't hate someone because of their name
Even if it is the name of their enemy.
You can't judge a book by it's cover.
Timeos last name is not a part of who he is....its a name
It has no physical meaning
You can't touch it.
You can't see it.
It's not even an idea. A name is nothing but a concept.
If I called a rose a lilac, it would still smell like a rose.
So yo don't NEED your name Timeo.
Just take mine.
....Cindy(Note: She calls her self by different names....), now your just being silly.
I better shutup before one of the guards hear me.

[Timeo: Speaks aloud so that Ciciliaet can hear him for the first time.]

Timeo: Just say the word, and I'll no longer be Timeo.
I'll have it changed at the courthouse if thats what you want...

[Ciccy gets alert and pulls out a bow and arrow]

Ciciliaet:Who's there? How much have you overheard?...Show yourself!

Timeo: Well, how can I tell you who I am if I don't have a name?

Ciciliaiet: I'd know that voice anywhere.....Timeo? A member of the Batclan and a Montague?

Timeo: I don't have to be if you don't me to.

Ciciliaiet:How'd the heck did you get in here!?!
No, never mind....I don't want to know.
You bat-people have a way of sneaking up on people...
And it will get you killed some day if it doesn't tonight
if one of my mothers men were to find you.

Timeo: I didn't sneak in.....I just followed my heart to my love.
And as for your mothers men...
They don't scare me.

Ciciliaiet: famous last words.
If your caught--

Timeo: I wouldn't mind.
As long as I got to see you again.
Its better than dieing an old man and never having a true love to give a care.

Ciciliaiet: They say the good men die young...
Darn them.
...How'd you know how to find me?

Timeo: I just followed the smell of that sweet perfume your wearing......are you wearing it for men or are you use to meeting guys on the balcony by your window?

Ciciliaiet: Stop it! Your making me blush! [giggles then groans.]
Jeeze, I can't believe you over heard my babblings...
I--[ooc:] Wait, what are my lines again?

[Robin rolls his eyes]

Robin(Timeo): For petes sake. This is the twelth time we've had to do the play over again!

Arrowette(Ciciliaiet. Reading script): Shutup. I'm reading.

[Bartcutio races onto the center of the stage, arms spread out wide as welcomes his...erm, adoring audience]

Bartcutio:Okay...on with the show!
[Robin and Arrowette turn to watch Impulse(Bartcutios) outburst with a little annoyance and curiosity]
Sometime she driveth o'er a soldier's neck,
And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats,
Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades,
Of healths five-fathom deep; and then anon
Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes,
And being thus frighted swears a prayer or two
And sleeps again. This is that very Mab
That plats the manes of horses in the night,
And bakes the elflocks in foul sluttish hairs,
Which once untangled, much misfortune bodes:
This is the hag, when maids lie on their backs,
That presses them and learns them first to bear,
Making them women of good carriage:
This is she--THIS IS SHE!!!

[Robin taps 'Bartcutio' on should]

Robin: Erm....wrong scene. Thats act one scene four.

Bartcutio: I know. Isn't that what this scene is?

Arrowette: no.....its act TWO scene TWO.

Bartcutio: Oh, well in that case--

Lybalt: Get back here you! I'm gonna frag ya for maikng me wear these fragging panthose, ya earth frell!

Bartcutio: uhohGottagoBye!(Runs off, Lobo after him)

[Scene empty except for Arrowette and Robin once more.]

Ciciliaiet:Ok....that was.....different.
Now where were we....Ah yes!:
Jeeze, I can't buh-LIEVE yuou overheard my babblings....you must think I'm some kinda skitz or something....
Darn, now I can't play coy or anything....Though my intentions are than to just lead you on.
...
Timeo? Do you like me? Or do you just like me like me?
No, better yet: Do you love me? Please answer truthfully. I know after all you've done youd say yes, but I need the truth.

Timeo: I promise you Cissy, that I'll--

Ciciliaet: Don't make promises you can't keep. And since none of us know the future, all promises are promises we might not be able to hold true to.

Timeo:But I--Then what can I offer up other than my promise to let you know that my heart is true?

Ciciliaiet: Swear by your own will.
Your my one obsession.
Its the only thing I care aout.
Timeo: But I--

Ciciliaiet: Look, as much as I enjoy having you near,
I'm tired ad need to sleep.
These vague words of yours and mine our childish.
Hopefully next time we meet our relationship could blossum into more.
But till then. Good night. I'm~yawn~ going to bed.

Timeo: Wait! Thats it! I go to all this trouble and this is all I get?

Ciciliaiet: Well, what is it you want?

Timeo: I....uh..I--...I wan't to her you say you love me too.

Ciciliaiet: But....I already told you.
Oh well, I guess noone can ever get enough of hearing those sweet words.
I love you.
With every breath of me I love you.
I love you I love you I love you.
Till they day I die.
[The Nurse(Arrowettes therapist) calls from within the house.]
Great....tahts the nurse calling me....Goodbye Handsom!
I hope we meet again.
.....I'm COMING nurse.

[Cissy enters house]

Timeo: This would stick if I woke up and found out all of this was only a dream.

[Cissy comes back out on to balcony]

Ciciliaiet: Ok, for this time, I really mean good night.
If you really DO love me,
Marry me tommarow.
Call up the justice of the Peace and schedule the time.
And then we can leave both our families and go on a tour of the world.

Nurse: Cissy![Calls from within house]

Ciciliaiet: [speaking to nurse] I'm coming! Gimme a minute! [Then speaks to Timeo] But if you don't want to marry me, don't bother to --

Nurse:[from within again] Cissy!?!!

Ciciliaiet: I said I'm coming! [speaks again to Timeo] come around me again. It would make me heart sick. Tomarrow I'll contact you.

Timeo: With every breath I breath I--.

Ciciliaiet: Good night...again!

[Goes back in house as Timeo begins to leave......only to come back out again as she reenters the balcony]

Ciciliaiet:Timeo! You still there?

Timeo: Yeah... I'm heere beautiful, what is it?

Ciciliaiet: What time should I contact you?

Timeo: Nine a.m.

Ciciliaiet: Ack! I came out here for something else....but now I can't remember!
I just like being near you and talking to you....
But for heavens sake its nearly morning.
I wish I could wake up every heavenly morning with you by my side.

Timeo: After tomarrow, we will be by each other for the rest of our lives...
and I can't wait to begin my life anew with you.

Ciciliaiet: Such a sweet talker!
But neither can I.
It'll seem like for EVER
Now THIS is the last time I say good night.
The sooner I get to sleep the sooner tomarrow will come.
[Ciciliaiet exits stage]

Timeo: Sleep well.
I may not be able to be by your side tonight,
but my heart will be with you the entire time.
Now I have to go and find Reddy, my teams mentor,
I've got to know his take on this.


[Romeo exits to find Friar(Red tornado)
