(plays the horn) -Everyone scatters off, showing Romeo and Benvolio on the left side and Paris and Juliet on the right side. Paris and Juliet are frozen at first.

(Slaps Romeos shoulder) There are hundreds of maidens walking around this very land, even more beautiful and gorgeous! -Sees the servant pinning posters MASQUERADE and stops him/her and grabs the list of attendees. Benvolio: Here! Perfect a masquerade ball! And look, your dear Rosaline is here, you can dance with a beautiful lady and shell see what she has lost. Romeo: I do not know about this Benvolio. Will this truly help me? And this is a Capulet ball, what if there is a chance someone will notice us? Benvolio: All will be well, my friend. Just trust in me. -Romeo and Benvolio freezes. And light shines through Paris and Juliet. Paris: (Walking to Juliet) Oh my dear light, have you considered my offer of eternal love to you? We would be the perfect couple, my dear! Juliet: I am sorry Paris, but I cannot and will not love you. I am too young for you thus making us opposites. I am sorry. Paris: (kneels to Juliet) But you can LEARN to love me, look (pointing to the posters) a masquerade ball! We shall attend and then you shall see that we are perfect for each other.
