The three youngsters went off to the outer world, Benvolio revealing his genius words, Romeo leaned against a fellow tree, with branches up so high it was nowhere to be seen.
"So, Benvolio, what great plan could thou announce?" Mercutio curiously asked the boy, standing at the river's edge while watching some fancy colored birds chit-chat.
"Well, there is a formal costumed ball, as I may pronounce." He answered with elation in his awoken voice.
Romeo stared at him in disbelief, confident that the Montagues would have heard the gigantic news of a celebration yet to come. He shot up from his position as he gazed at Benvolio, aware of his neoteric mission.
"You must be joking!" Romeo aggravated, orbs growing wide.
Mercutio shook his pitiful head as his bold fist playfully collided with Romeo's clothed shoulder. "Do not cover yourself up to be a wimp, you desire your parent's wealth." He truthfully spoke.
"I never reckoned I 'desire my parent's wealth' I would rather sneak into the Capulets house by stealth." Romeo pointed out, while Benvolio's eyes snatch more open, feeding himself on the words just spoken.
"Well, you should!" Benvolio exclaimed. "You should attend the party, by all good means, and catch a rich young lady, but of course do not be too shady." He explained further on, the other two youngsters carefully spreading their ears, finding some interest in the waterproof plan the youngest boy suggests.
"Plus, I could fetch a lady for myself, perhaps." Mercutio grinned, already looking forward to adjust himself a richer woman, such as Benvolio who could, who knows, make a move on some fine looking damsel himself.
"Another advantage is that you would certainly forget Rosaline who turned you down." The boy with a hurricane on top of head noticed, immediately getting Mercutio focused.
"If thou repeat that cursed name I might just walk over to that river and let myself drown." In all seriousness Romeo said, backing up the slim boy now shaking his head.
"Other than that horrifying proposal, art thou, or art thou not agreed?" Fired Benvolio to the tiny group they formed, one nodding and the other spitting out an annoyed 'yes'.
A few seconds later they contagiously laughed and smiled, heading off to change their presence and get somewhat styled.
Yet their cautious eyes were not enough spread wide, as the young lady Capulet's cousin Tybalt heard everything with cocksure pride.
