Written in pentameter (May have a few errors.) Yoda speaks in his strange Yoda grammar (Sorry if some of it is confusing), but he also has some of the language of the time.


 * //Yoda’s home; Enter Yoda//**

Wondrous day for sweet young love, today is. Romeo brings me now, what rash decision. (Romeo: 2 syllables)
 * Yoda**

//Enter Romeo//

Oh, that kind-hearted villain, beautiful (Some paradoxes taken from book.) tyrant, dove-feather'd raven, honorable (all -ables: 1 syllable) fiend that doth think he can judge me so. A man so kind, yet so damnable. What doth I so bad?
 * Romeo**

---This boyish rat-catcher, who is? Your mentor could it be, Friar Lawrence. Your sad own self, that honest creature made. What vile, villainous thing commit he has.
 * Yoda**

He hath called me a man of weak resolve. A weak man in love with the thought of love. A changeable man with the tendencies of a pup because of the women I love. Wherefore would of love if thou art judged for it.
 * Romeo**
 * ( Oblivious to Yoda's sarcasm)**

The **WOMEN** you love, you said. His point look at that and tell me if you see it not. Love one of the fairer sex, you should, not two. You loved one Rosaline, I thought. Me now you love another girl you tell. Who is this poor maiden, beguiled, you have? And to your chaste Rosaline what happened?
 * Yoda**

I doth not waver between my women. I have but one true love and that be Juliet. (Juliet : 1 syllable) Rosaline is of Diana's wit and left mine heart broken and torn into shreds. I feel love towards her no more. She is gone. There art I happy that Juliet was the first maiden I saw. She is mine one true love.
 * Romeo**

Something about Juliet other than her sweet beauty tell me.
 * Yoda**

The sweet of her nature.....
 * Romeo//(////flustered)//**

//**Rosaline Enters (She has been hiding behind the pillar in the center of Yoda's house.)**//

Oh Romeo oh Romeo hath thou forgot me already. Thou speaks of another. Doth thee love her as much as thee loved I? Thou evil flick'ring boy, thou wav'ring knave. Thou changes thy mind as wind changes direction. (changes: 1 syllable) Thou wilt surely betray thy new love as thou betrayed thy old. Love is not for fools, it is for men to show they are so strong strong enough to protect their loves from harm. Thou cannot protect thy love from a fly for thou hast so many different loves. (different: 3 syllables) Thou must pay for thy lying, cheating ways. Thou must pay for thy deceit with thy life. //**(She pulls out a lightsaber)**// Die, villainous fiend, Die fiendish villain!
 * Rosaline**

Fight your old love you must. Prove thou art worth Juliet's kind love and innocent, sweet nature. Prove you love Juliet and you will be known as a man, not a rash child with a fiendish nature. Prove yourself and ,sir, she is yours. Now say adieu I must for much ado there is. (adieu and ado: 1 syllable each) adieu: goodbye, ado: going on
 * Yoda**
 * //(Tosses Romeo a lightsaber)//**
 * //(Exeunt)//**

I have no quarrel with thee, Rosaline. Please stop this madness before thou art harmed. I will never harm a lady even she that left me sad, soulless, and broken. Juliet fixed me and made me feel whole again. She made my heart beat for her gentle touch. She is my reason for living and she is my honor too. To kill would break mine honor, thus breaking her trust in me. And I will not let her sweet love slip away. Not now not ever. //**(Tosses his lightsaber)**// --I toss this weapon and tell you to look in thine heart and see the truth: I love her and hold her life o'er mine own. I will do so now and always.
 * Romeo**

I knew you only needed a push to show your true devotion to Juliet. I hope you will stop your flitting ways and love her always. But don't forget me, your first love. For I truly did love thee, but if one truly loves another then you should let them go. But thy Juliet needs not let you go, for she is not sworn to Diana. And she makes thou happy and thou art full of honor and thou hast sweetness in thy heart Only the best for my dear cousin, Juliet.
 * //(Rosaline smiles with glee)//**
 * Rosaline**
 * //(Exeunt)//**

'Twas all just a test to see if I loved her truly. I understand now what my teacher and friend meant. I was but a child before unable to appreciate the love I had before me, unable to love back truly. She is mine and I am hers. I will be her lover throughout the day her knight in shining armor throughout the night filled with Diana's cold and chaste light She is the sun and I am the east from which her love rises. I will love her always.
 * Romeo**
 * //(Curtain falls)//**

I really like your idea, especially the whole testing Romeo’s love. However, maybe you could add some setting, because I was a little confused if Yoda and Romeo were talking in private and Rosaline overheard Romeo or if they were in a public place. I thought the scene was really well-written and I thought you wrote Romeo’s part well. For example, I thought that Romeo seemed to be in character mostly, especially his reaction to Rosaline’s challenge. However, I thought Romeo might be a little confused, when Yoda said “fight your old love you must”, because it seemed un-Yoda- like. Also, I don’t know if girls, back then, could fight, but overall, I think you did a good job. - Janeeyre1 Wutheringheights1 -Thanks for all the suggestions!! I took your suggestion about how Rosaline enters.

Wutheringheights1, You're welcome, and I love your scene. It was great! Janeeyre1

I though the idea was great, and it was funny to have Yoda in the scene. Understanding what Yoda was saying was a little difficult at times, though. For example, when Yoda says, "Me now you love another girl you tell." Also, if you want to shorten the amount of syllables in a word, you could replace a vowel with an apostrophe as Shakespeare did. These are just suggestions, but, all in all, the scene was very intriguing. - tockillamockingbird Wutheringheights1 -About the Yoda language, he is supposed to sound confusing and wise and vague, so I am going to keep it this way!! Thanks anyway!! I thought that your story was very entertaining and made me want to hear even more. Even though Yoda was a little difficult to understand, I really enjoyed Yoda's third lines/ verse. But I was a little confused about the line (tosses Romeo a lightsaber).Maybe you could have agree to killing. Maybe you could also have Yoda meet either Rosaline or Juliet. -Tuckeverlasting2 Wutheringheights1 I wanted to make Romeo seem like a better man for not killing Rosaline, and Yoda was in on Rosaline's plan to show how much Romeo loved Juliet.
