Oh man, why did I even try to do this? Meh, obviously I'm no [enter-famous-author-or-good-fanfic-writer-here] Oh well here's what I got for the N&R/R&J thing:
Act One[/font]
Scene 1
It was a warm afternoon as Ace walked side by side with Joe on the streets of Cleveland. Both of them were armed with swords and shields as though they were ready for trouble. Suddenly, two figures (Tommy Gilligan and Wallabee Beetles) drew closer.
"Great" Ace hissed "Montagues." he turned and faced Joe before speaking again "We'll have the law on our side; let them begin"
Joe merely rolled his eyes "Then I shall frown as I pass by." he stated mockingly.
Ace paused, "I shall bite my thumb at them, which is a disgrace if they bear it." he replied before making the rude gesture at the Montagues near them. Unfortunately the two Montagues saw the gesture.
"Did you just bite your thumb at us sir?" Tommy asked with a forced smile on his face.
Ace, however, just smirked "Yes." he said coolly. He wasn't scared of him, not at all.
Tommy glared daggers at him. Who did that guy think he was?! "Did you bite your thumb at us sir?" he asked again, this time there was a bit of anger in his voice.
Ace gulped slightly. "I-Is the law of our side if I say ay?"
Tommy crossed his arms; he looked more threatening by the minute "No."
"No, I didn't bite my thumb at you" Ace started "But I did bite my thumb..."
"Why you -" Tommy drew out his sword, as did Ace and before anyone knew it, a fight broke out. More people became involved with the brawl before Lee, a nephew to Lord Montague, stepped in with his sword drawn.
"Part you fools!" Lee cried out as he tried to stop the fight "Remember the peace!"
"What? Drawn and talk about peace?" Nick (Nunbuh 363) demanded "I hate that word, just like I hate all Montague, and thee!" he thrusted his sword at Lee "Have at thee, coward!" he said before the two started fighting. Not long after the fight, Lord Capulet walked out, followed by his wife.
"My sword!" he told his servants "Bring me my sword!"
"A sword?" his wife scoffed "More like a cane!"
At the same time, Lord Montague walked onto the scene. "You villain!" he called out to the Capulets while his wife struggled to restrain her husband.
"No!" she scolded him "Not one foot towards the enemy." she sighed, when was the fighting going to end?
"Rebellious subjects!" A voiced yelled, causing all the fighting to cease. Before them stood Prince Heinrich, red with anger. "Drop your weapons to the ground and listen to me!"
Everyone hung their heads and dropped their swords.
"Thrice the peace has been shattered by thee old Capulet and Montague." Prince Heinrich continued as soon as the weapons dropped. "Come with me Capulet and you, Montague, shall come to my court this afternoon. If ever you disturb the peace again, your lives shall pay the price - disperse!" he said before leaving, Capulet followed behind him sheepishly.
As soon as everyone left, Lady Montague turned to face Lee.
"O where is Nigel, have you seen him?" she asked hopefully.
"An hour before the worshipped sun he took and early stroll beneath the sycamore tree. However he was aware of me and hid in the woods." Lee told her sadly.
Lord Montague sighed "He's been there many mornings, with tears augmenting the fresh morning's dew"
Lee nodded before he noticed Nigel walking closer to them “Here he comes" he told them "So please step aside." Lord Montague nodded before taking his wife's hand and leaving.
Lee took a deep breath before making his way toward Nigel. "Good Morrow, cousin." he greeted him.
"Is the day so young?" Nigel asked.
"It's already nine."
Nigel sighed. "Sad hours seem long" he commented before changing the subject "Was that my father?"
"It was." Lee commented "What's making you so sad?"
Nigel said nothing for awhile before he replied "Not having something that would make time fly."
"In love?"
"Out."
"Of love?" asked an eager Lee.
Nigel shook his head "Out of her favour where I am in love. She's so beautiful and is only poor that when she dies, her beauty dies with her..."
"Then she has sworn to not marry?" Lee asked.
Nigel nodded. "She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow do I live dead, that live to tell it now."
Lee shook his head, "Forget about her."
"O teach me how should forget to think."
"Examine other beauties." Lee suggested.
Nigel shook his head "No one is as beautiful as her." he said as he began walking away.
"I'll will my point or else die in debt!" Lee called after him before running to catch up with his melancholy cousin.

Gaaah that was worse then I thought I bet
Also, I mixed both the original and modern text so yeah...
Prologue
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Cleveland , where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
