Alternate Ending to Romeo and Juliet (What Shakespear really meant)

We catch Romeo on his way to Juliet's tomb where she is in a self induced coma faking to be dead. Romeo, thinking Juliet is dead for real rushes to her, planning to kill himself to prove his undying love for her. As he runs towards the tomb a pair of beautiful eyes distracts him for a moment. These beautiful eyes belong to a beautiful woman. Romeo forgets his mad rush and stops to meet this girl who he has never seen before. "Hello, my name is Romeo who are you?"
Smiling she responded, "I am Aemilia". In a trance Romeo starred at her and asked, "Are you new around here?" "Yes, I just moved here." For a second Romeo thought of Juliet laying lonely in a tomb. "Perhaps I should go to her, but if she is dead what is the use? She would want me to be happy." thought Romeo. "Would you like to go out with me?" asked Romeo. "Sure." Back in the tomb Juliet slowly woke from her coma. Looking around she felt lonely and sad thinking, "What happened to my Romeo?" What if he is hurt or killed!" As she regained her strength she slowly got to her feet. She stumbled out the door of her large family tomb. Looking around she thought of all the horrible things that might have happened to Romeo. She made her way out to the street and wandered around hoping to find what had happened to Romeo. As she wandered she stumbled upon a young boy about her age. "Hi," she said shyly forgetting her worries for a moment. "Hello, my name is Oliver whats yours." "Juliet". "You are breathtakingly beautiful," Juliet blushed heavily. "Would you like to go out with me tonight? I am new in town and don't really know anyone?" Juliet thought back to Romeo for a moment. "He didn't come for me. It must mean he doesn't even care. No use trying to find someone who doesn't care enough to come get me when he is supposed to." "Yes, I would love to." Both Romeo and Juliet lived happily for a few weeks until they found another handsome face. At this point they realized the time they had been wasting with their former partner had been a complete waste of time and their teenage hormones took them on another roller coaster of "love".
