Endings. There's many. It will be hilarious if Romeo and Juliet became comedy. Just the thought of it makes me giggle. I can't deny that it will be also kind of awkward to have another ending besides the real one. It I were to make this a funny, it will go like this:
Romeo heard of Juliet's death, so he hurriedly went to Verona even though he was exiled. He went straight to the cemetery. By the time he got there, Friar Lawrence was standing beside a grave. He approached him. He looked at Romeo with wild eyes. He had dark circles under his eyes and his eyes were red, probably from crying. It was raining.
Romeo: Friar Lawrence! I heard the news! Where is her grave?! It was horrible! That news! Why are you crying? Her death is indeed very depressing! Oh, my love!
Friar Lawrence: I was not crying because of her death. I was crying because of her dress, It might be ruined! Besides, her dress does not suits the proper burial! It was red like the color of her lips! Good gracious!
Romeo stared at him blankly.
Friar Lawrence: Oh! Don't mind me. Go along now. Her grave. Ah! here it is. (points to a grave beside him)
While Romeo was digging the grave, Friar Lawrence began to explain Juliet's plan. Romeo began to lift the coffin lid.
Friar Lawrence: She's not yet dead you know, why are you so anxious to see her?
Romeo: What?!
He looked at the Friar above him. It was his wrong move, because he slipped in the mud. and he landed face to face in a pile of bones. The skull seems to grin at him.
Romeo shrieked.
Friar Lawrence: Oops? Sorry. It was the grave beside this. Sorry Romeo.
Romeo: Tsk. Friar Lawrence!
Friar Lawrence: What?! I said I'm sorry!
He helped Romeo to get out of the grave. And Romeo began to dig again the grave, this time he was a hundred percent sure. He found Juliet who was beginning to stir a little. They helped Juliet get out. She held the lamp while the Friar helped Romeo.But then Paris arrived. Juliet turned to his direction with the lamp still in her hands.Paris: Who--- AAAH!! A ghost! My dear mother! Oh my poor heart.
He was screaming wildly while running. In his clumsiness, he tripped in a rock and fell. But does not stop him from running.
Romeo and the Friar: What? What did just happen?
Juliet: That was rude! How can he be so mean? Do I look like ghost?
She turned around slowly still holding the lamp. Romeo and Friar Lawrence face turned as white as ashes. Friar Lawrence fell unconscious.
Juliet: What?
Romeo tried to lift his arm, although it was shaking like crazy
Romeo: Juliet, who's standing beside you?
Juliet looked at her side and found an old ladysmiling at her with her crooked teeth.
Romeo and Juliet screamed at the top of their lungs. They run towards each other unconsciously and banged their selves pretty hard, causing them to lose consciousness.
The old lady frowned.
Old Lady: That was rude! I was just about to greet them a good evening! Children this days!
And she walked away with her stick.
That would be great. But I cannot change it. I still love the real ending with some disappointment.
