Romeo and Juliet May 2014 | Page 3

Ryan is a United States spy. He was recently sent out on a mission to Russia, where he encounter a beautiful, tall, blonde Russian named Julia. He constantly thought about her and pictured a life together with her. On his mission to England, Ryan had an encounter with another spy. To his surprise it was the love of his life, Julia. They decided that, even though they were spies for two countries that despised each other they would continue this romance. Little did they know, that their countries would take it the wrong way. As soon as the countries found out, they waged war against each other. Ryan and Julia could not do anything to stop the mess they had started. The countries urged them to stay apart. Russia proposed that Julia marry Boris, a handsome Russian spy. She, however, refused. Her soul longed for Ryan. He filled a part of her life that vodka could not. Ryan knew that the only way he could see Julia was during the night. So as soon as the sun set, Ryan came into Julia’s yard and talked to her.

They realized that nothing would keep them apart, so they went and found a babushka to marry them. The old, little, hunch-backed babushka did as she was asked, for if she didn’t, Julia threatened to commit suicide. Babushka knew that Putin would kill her in her sleep for that, so she agreed. Ryan then left back to the U.S. He kept plotting of ways to be with Julia. Julia, however, could not take the grief any longer, so she sat down and began to think of what to do. Realizing the only way out of her misery was through death. She went and bought herself 500 hamburgers (to honor Ryan) and ate herself to death. Hearing the news, Ryan was both devastated and glad, that Julia was thinking of him when she ended her life. He decided to join and honor the love of his life. He went to the nearest forest. There he climbed on a bear and began to ride it while drinking vodka. (It didn’t take very long, seeing as Americans are lightweights.) This, everyone agreed, was the best way to commemorate Julia. After that, Russia and the U.S. never spoke to each other again.
