Maeve looked at Sinbad and beamed with excitement and energy as she said, "I feel great! Thank-you SO much for bringing me out here! I really need it!"
Doubar smiled and replied, "Aw Maeve…we're glad you had a good time."
"So Maeve…do you think you can recite a couple of lines?" asked Sinbad bringing her attention back to the play.
Maeve pulled out the script from her bag and handed it to Sinbad while she asked, "Could you read any one line from Romeo's part for me?"
Sinbad took the book and replied, "I guess…."
Once he found a place where Romeo and Juliet are both talking to each other he began, " Ah, Juliet, if the measure of my joy be heaped like mine, and that thy skill be more to blazon it, then sweeten with thy breath this neighbor air, and let rich music's tongue unfold the imagined happiness that both receive in either by this dear encounter."
"Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, brags of his substance, not of ornament. They are but beggars than can count their worth; But my true love is grown to such excess I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth."
She looked directly into Sinbad's eyes and asked, "Well…"
Sinbad closed the book and looked at her victoriously and he exclaimed, "You did it! Every word!"
"I did it!? I really did it!" she exclaimed excitedly as Sinbad nodded his head vigorously and smiled at her.
"Congrats Maeve! I knew you could do it!" Exclaimed Doubar as he gave her a quick hug.
"Um…guys…could we get back to the palace? I'm kinda cold."
She grabbed her stuff and ran ahead. Sinbad and Doubar laughed as they rushed up to catch up to her.
But even they could not see the danger that lied ahead. And not even Maeve with all her powers to see the future could see the disaster which the crew was about to face.
"Sinbad…would you walk with me to the Globe?" asked Maeve a little self-consciously.
Sinbad who was sitting alone eating an apple, looked up at her and smiled as he said, "Sure. Why not?"
Maeve smiled and offered her hand to him. He accepted it and together they walked to the Globe.
"People! People! Listen up! We are going to be really busy from now on, so…everyone must listen to me!" exclaimed Harris a little to proudly.
Maeve and Sinbad who were just arriving, were immediately separated by Harris as he pulled Maeve to the stage with him. Since he had nowhere to go, Sinbad went and sat down on the first row.
