I sighed. I had nothing to do. I had hit a dead end in trying to locate my sister. Apparently I was one of three survivors of the house of Capulet. I was desperately trying to find Juliet. If only she was sixteen. She might be easier to find.

"Where are you going?" I asked staring. Melanie was wearing her finest and looked like she put too much effort into her appearance.

"Oh, Scarlet, you're so nosy. You should know where I go every Tuesday!" She scolded. But, I did know what she did. She went to the market to try to get Sir Francisco's attention. How pathetic.

"Can I come with? I'm soooooooo bored! Besides, Francisco or Curio might know something," I asked.

"Of course! I knew you couldn't resist his charm!" Melanie laughed.

"DO NOT! Listen I really don't understand how you can stand that argent womanizer. I just need him to tell me where Juliet is," I said grabbing my hair tie.

"Oh what ever, let's just go." Melanie said, hustling out.

It took us a few minutes to find Sir Francisco. The mob of girls gave it away. Melanie ran off to join them, so I went to find Curio, who was standing away from the mob.

"Ello Curio! Fine day isn't it?" I said skipping over.

"Scarlett?! What do you want now?" Curio said rather annoyed.

"I am deeply offended! Why would you think I would come and talk to you only for information? I really thought you knew me better, but if you could tell me where my little sister is that would be a great help," I said mostly sarcastically.

"I told you, you need to wait until after her sixteenth birthday, which happens to be today," Curio smiled.

"Really?! I need to find her to wish her a happy birthday then!" I exclaimed.

"No. Tomorrow you can be introduced and then you can wish her a happy birthday," Curio said leaning against the wall.

"No! No! No! Tomorrow will be too late! What kind of sister am I to not wish my little sister, Juliet, a happy birthday on the date?" I wined. Curio just laughed.

"You sound more like a six year old every time I see you," he laughed.

"Do not," I pouted, which made him laugh even more.

"Listen, you've had to wait fourteen years, just like Juliet. You'll see her tomorrow," said Curio.

"Oh fine, but is there any way to see her sooner?" I pleaded. I did miss my sister a lot.

"Well, I could talk to Conrad and see if you can come to the grave yard with us, or possibly come back with us now," I heard behind me. I spun around to come face to face with Sir Francisco.

"That'd be great, but I think I can wait," I lied. I'm sure he saw through it, but then again, this was Sir Francisco we were talking about.

"Sure you can," Curio said with a sarcastic tone.

"Oh hush up, Curio. I've waited for fourteen years, I can wait a day more," I said rather maturely.

"Oh Curio, Francisco! We must be going, other wise Conrad and Cordilia will be worried!" a boy called running up to them. "Who's this?" he directed to me. I just froze. I felt like I was on the brink of tears. Could that really be Juliet? Could she have had a twin brother? "What's wrong with her?" he asked. I quickly snapped out of my trance.

"Oh nothing. I'm Scarlet, a friend of Curio's," I said still staring.

"And what about me?" Sir Fransico asked.

"Hell no, you pig," I said frankly.

"I'm deeply offended! I thought you were my best friend!" he fake cried.

"Oh hush up you drama queen," I said.

"I do believe you meant drama king," he annoyingly corrected.

"No, I meant queen," I said frankly. The boy laughed.

"Well, it was nice meeting you, Scarlet. We must go now. Oh, and I'm Odin," the boy said.

"It was nice meeting you too, and happy birthday," I smiled.

"How did you know it was my birthday?" he smiled.

"Oh, um, I'm psychic and Curio mentioned it?" I nervously smiled.

"Oh alright! Good bye Scarlet!" He said running away with Curio and Francisco. He never saw through my lie. I sighed with relief.

"Oh! Isn't he dreamy?" Melanie said behind me. I jumped.

"What the hell Mel? Don't scare the crap out of me like that!" I screamed hitting her.

"Oh, Scarlet. Don't pretend you weren't staring at him and sighing as he ran away. Or maybe you were watching Curio? Oh you must fancy one of them," she said playfully.

"No. I hate Francisco and Curio is just a friend. I was sighing out of relief because that boy Odin didn't see through my lie," I said.

"Oh really? He's a bit young though isn't he?" Melanie said skeptically.

"What? No, I have no desire for a romantic relationship. It's just, he seems hauntingly like Juliet, or at least what I remember of her," I explained.

"Oh, fine. What ever you say. I swear you really need to just relax and wait," she said. "Now, let's go home," she smiled putting her arm around me. I looked back as we walked away. He seemed so familiar.

"Would you mind if I went back to the theater to see Willy? I'd love to see if he needs help with his play," I stopped.

"Fine, stay as long as you wish," she said.

"Thanks Melanie!" I said running away.

"Have fun!" she called.
