Two More Minutes
Description
In a parody of Romeo and Juliet walking the thin line between crack and insanity, Prince Taemin refuses to marry the prince of The Pink Pony Meadows. Just as he and the wizard Minho come up with an ingenious plan to circumvent this issue, another one appears in the form of a rival prince, Siwon, who is utterly enamored with Taemin. Among the epic quests, foreign dragons and mentally unstable wolves, who will get their happily ever after?
Note: The title has absolutely nothing to do with the story. I was just trying to be clever, since this is a 2min story. …Get it??? … … And even though it’s a parody of R&J, it bears very little resemblance to the original story and you probably couldn’t guess it if I hadn’t told you; which is why I told you. So don’t expect your typical star-crossed lovers story. Also, if you read on FF.net and this sounds familiar, don’t worry: I didn’t steal it. I write on there too.
An abbreviated key for easy reference:
Juliet – Taemin
Romeo – Siwon
Friar – Minho (he’s a wizard instead)
Paris – Onew
Nurse – Jonghyun
Lord and Lady Capulet – Yunho and Jaejoong
Other characters that make an appearance but do not correspond with any of Shakespeare’s creations include: Key, Hangeng, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Kyuhyun, Sungmin and Dongho.
Main Pairing: 2min
Side Pairing(s): Yunjae and Jongkey (established) and very vague Eunhae, Kyumin and Sihan (as in, if you try really hard, squint and tilt your head 90 degrees). Also one-sided SiwonàTaemin for comedic purposes only. Siwon is very OOC indeed. He kind of gets the of all the jokes in here, but seriously, I like him. I just couldn’t think of anyone else for his part in this.
Also: there are no girls in this story. Yes, the queen is a guy and they are arranging marriages between princes. Please ignore the part of your brain that cringes at the improbability of this (I just don’t like genderbending). Anyway, I’m done talking. ON WITH THE STORY.
Foreword
Prince Taemin of Capulet had always been perfect at everything he did. It was as if fairies had come on the day that he was born and wished him all the perfectness in the world (hopefully, the evil one hadn’t shown up). He was the very epitome of perfection. He was more intelligent than all his tutors, a prodigy at dancing, was kind to everyone (even the animals, who all loved him), was always smiling an absolutely adorable smile, and, of course, had a beauty unparalleled by any damsel in all of Fantasy Land.
Indeed, he was THE PERFECT prince, Siwon thought as he watched the prince having a dance-off with a friend of his inconspicuously from some inconspicuous bushes.
The prince Siwon of Montague was also, of course, perfect. He was so utterly perfect, in fact, that there was never a single woman who did not fall for him at first sight (and even some of the not-so-single ones). Seriously though, who would NOT fall for a handsome, gentlemanly, sophisticated, rich, intelligent and perfect prince like himself? Oh, right, Taemin. The reason being: they had never met. But at that moment, Siwon decided that, YES!, Taemin was the one. He would most definitely make Taemin his bride. The fact that Taemin was already engaged to another prince, Onew, and the other fact that their two countries had an…unpleasant history was trivial. Why bother the great Siwon with trivial things?
“I totally won that,” Key the cat (although he was in a human form at the time) called as he decided this.
“You can’t judge yourself!” Taemin pouted. “And anyway, you do realize that was an SNSD song that we were dancing to…”
“Yeah, and?”
Insert Taemin-RageFace here.
Anyway, Siwon …why is he hiding in the bushes? That’s a very good question. He realized this and immediately exited the foliage to reveal his stunning self. And challenged Taemin to another danceoff. It was a close competition, seeing as Key had once more sabotaged the sound system into playing “Gee”, but Taemin won nevertheless.
But wait! Siwon decided that he could not declare his undying love just yet. It was his belief that it’s unromantic to propose while both parties are tired and sweaty. Best to go home and shower first.
Don’t forget the rose-petal bath.
