Romeo and Juliet and a New Ending

If I were to make another ending for the story of Romeo and Juliet, I would end the story with a happy ending or what we call a “happy ever after.” I would end it happily because I enjoy stories more when it ends happily than ending sadly of tragically. Here is my new ending for the story:

When Romeo heard the news that Juliet is already dead, same thing happens. He got very sad, depressed, and hopeless. Because of this, Romeo went to the Apothecary and bought poison to suicide together with Juliet's tomb. Similarly, the Apothecary refused. Romeo gave him more money wherein the Apothecary is tempted and gave a poison to Romeo. But then, when Romeo went out of the store, the Apothecary smiled. Friar John returned to Friar Lawrence still having the letter. He was quarantined in a house and was not allowed to go out by the town health officials and therefore, the letter wasn't sent to Romeo. He gave the letter back to Friar Lawrence. Paris was visiting the tomb of Juliet when he saw someone with a torch and hid. It was Romeo, and when Paris saw him, he arrested him. Romeo told Paris to get away but then Paris refused so they fought. Page called the watch because of this. Paris fell and died. He laid Paris in Juliet's tomb as of his request and Romeo drank the poison given by the Apothecary. Romeo fell dead on the ground when Friar Lawrence just came. He cried because of what happened, the same time when Juliet awakened. She saw Friar Lawrence and the dead bodies of Romeo and Paris and asked him what had happened. Juliet cried in tears when she saw Romeo's dead body. She went to Romeo and place Romeo's head in her lap while crying. When they heard the people coming, Friar Lawrence hid in fear. Juliet grabbed Romeo's dagger and put it up pointing the dagger to her body. When she was about to stab herself, Romeo suddenly coughed. Juliet was very surprised and looked at Romeo. Romeo unconsciously smiled seeing Juliet and rose up asking what had happened. They were both shocked thinking that one another was already dead. They just forget about it and embraced and kissed one another. 

The Montagues and Capulets saw Romeo and Juliet and the bloody scene. The two families thought that they should forgive one another since they thought that Juliet was supposed to die as well as Romeo but didn't because of their love. The couple returned to the Apothecary and thanked him for what he have done and decided to do. The Apothecary smiled and said that it wasn't a true poison but a drink that will temporarily lose the consciousness of a person. The wise Apothecary even told a joke to Romeo saying that the money he gave cannot be retrieved anymore. Romeo just laughed and became friends with the Apothecary. Romeo then asked for the blessings of the Montagues and Capulets for their wedding. The couples promised to one another that they will love each other forever and that nothing could replace their love for one another. The couples lived happily ever after.
