Just like Rumple. Just like Regina. Just like Killian.

This is not the Shakespearean era anymore. This is the time where nothing is impossible and all routes are open. With proper guidance and interventions they might just earn their proper life - and maybe, like Titanchamp said, a "renegade" true love offspring. It has been a long time coming. They earned it.

Niente è vero, tutto è permesso. Nothing is true, everything is permitted. * Romeo * Juliet * William Shakespeare

(These things irk me, lol! It detracts from the wonderful points you're making, I don't think you realize it.) I know, and I apologize. What I was saying was that though the tragedy of Rom and Jules was classical, they don't always have to be this way in the now. The way I figure, with interventions and family therapy, the dispute between the Montagues and Capulets could easily be dissolved. And the teens might just have their fair shot at true love like everyone else.

That being said, it'll be more fun to see some of their family disputes at first in Storybrooke, 2014 - Get Romeo and Juliet and their whole enchilada to Storybrooke, and see if the Montagues and Capulets are comfortable carrying out their disputes with a circle of spectators watching.
