Scene Rewrite

If I were to rewrite a scene for Romeo and Juliet I would choose the part where Tybalt dies and instead I would place it outside VdP maybe or somewhere in that area and I would have someone come and challenge Romeo to a fight. Romeo would accept but then his friend instead would jump in and his friend would get hit in the face and knocked out. Romeo would then follow in pursuit of Tybalt and find him at Simosa Field where the two would fight. Romeo would start off on the defensive with Tybalt throwing most of the punches, but as the fight progresses, Romeo becomes a bit more anxious and starts throwing more punches and then eventually he connects a punch with Tybalt's jaw and proceeds to knock him out. Romeo backs away in shock as this is his first ever fight and he has never ever hurt anyone, Benvolio comes running in to report to Romeo but then sees that Tybalt has been knocked out and that Romeo must run away because it won't be long before news reaches Tybalt's friends and they will come for him. They eventually come for him and there is a massive school yard brawl between the two sides, the news gets to the dean and Romeo is called to meet with him. The dean says that he will be called for a C.C. Once in the C.C, they tell Romeo that instigating fights is breaking a major school rule in which Romeo attempts to object but it is sustained. The C.C tells him that they will give him the chance to withdraw from the school but if he fails to within 24 hours, they will expel him and put a huge smudge on his record. Romeo nods and he goes to a teacher and tells the teacher about the situation and that he wants to hurt himself if he has to be without Juliet, the teacher tells him to wise up and be grateful for them giving you this chance to withdraw from here because it is not a common thing that they let slide. Romeo tries to tell Juliet's friend that he needs to see her one more time, Juliet's friend then notifies Juliet and comes back to Romeo and tells him to go to her room window at lights out. He does so and they spend the night together and Romeo wakes up in the morning and Juliet asks if he has to leave and he says that either way he will have to leave and that he just wants to make it easier on his family to get him into another school. Romeo then proceeds to withdraw from the school and leave.
