So, this is a short parody of Romeo and Juliet that I wrote for Lynette's mortal for Angels and Mortals here at Redeemer. It is accompanying a tray of brownies, so it is a story about brownies. That's right, a parody of Romeo and Juliet, about brownies. So, without further ado, Romeo and Juliet: Brownified, but Cakespeare (aka. me). By the way, I use quotes from Pride and Prejudice, Moulin Rouge and Romeo and Juliet (obviously) in this story.
Auburn glanced across the room and noticed a ridiculously "baked" (hot/toned, NOT STONED) frosted brownie that was staring at her. He winked at her as she looked at him, and she turned away, her eyes on the floor. He sauntered over to her, his smile just as attractive as his frosted coating. "Hi chocolaty, did it hurt when you fell out of the oven?"
She smiled at him shyly, and met his eyes with hers. He leaned against the counter. "What's your name chocolate girl?"
"I know who you are Arun Hotah, and you should know who I am. I am a Donnely, and you are a Hotah. We can't talk to each other."
"What's in a name? That which we call a brownie would by any other name smell as sweet." Quoth he. She swooned, in a very dainty way, for Auburn was a very dainty brownie.
He caught her and held her in his warm, moist arms. "Let's dance Donnely." THey got out on the dance floor, and held each other close. The smell of Arun was almost irresistible to Auburn. Suddenly, a smaller, thinner, moister brownie cut in. Auburn was left alone, as Arun and the other brownie danced around the floor. She sighed and turned to leave the room, but just then Arun caught her arm and whirled her around. "Where are you going Auburn Donnely?"
"You were dancing with that other brownie. Who am I kidding, she is browner, moister and frosted just like you! I don't stand a chance."
Arun turned around, pointing at the brownie who was dancing on the floor. "Who, that brownie? She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me." He caught Auburn up into his warm moist arms once again and gave her a very frosty kiss. When they broke apart, she smiled at him, and she could almost imagine her whole body melting from that kiss.
They saw each other many times after that day, without their parents even knowing they were together. They slowly, but surely fell in love, the way that only two brownies can. They didn't pay attention to the face that Arun was frosted and Auburn was not. To Arun, Auburn was all the brownie he'd ever need.
But then one frightful day, their lives changed for the worse. They were happily minding their own business, when Dunne Donnely caught them holding hands. He rushed off to tell his father, who, upon seeing his daughter with a Hotah, proceeded to start taking bites of Arun. He screamed in pain, and Auburn tried desperately to pull her father off of her brownie boyfriend. Finally, the Hotah's arrived and succeeded in pulling Donnely off of their son. But they were too late, he was injured beyond all reckoning, so much so that his parents agreed to send him into exile.
In the world of brownies, being sent into exile meant that he was going to be eaten by humans. He couldn't fight the decision because the brownie elders had set it down in the law book in frosting. When they sent him away, Auburn clung to him and decided that it wasn't worth living unless she was with her Arun. They held hands as they walked to the plate, with the other exiled brownies. They waited patiently for their deaths. Before long, a human hand reached down and took hold of Auburn. She shrieked and clung to Arun, so they were both lifted in the air. Before they entered the mouth, Auburn sand to Arun. "Seasons may change, winter to spring, but I love you 'til the end of time."
Arun kissed his sweet and smiled. "And thus, with a kiss, I die." They held onto to each other as they entered the mouth, united even in death.
The End
Hope you enjoyed! Leave comments! :D
