A Midsummer Night's Dream#0930, #1502 Demetrius and Lysander both want Hermia but she only has eyes for Lysander. Bad news is Hermia's father wants Demetrius for a son-in-law. On the outside is Helena, whose unreturned love burns hot for Demetrius. Hermia and Lysander plan to flee from the city under cover of darkness but are pursued by an enraged Demetrius (who is himself pursued by an enraptured Helena). In the forest, Oberon and Titania (King and Queen of the fairies) are having a fight over a servant boy. Then, Oberon's head mischief-maker, Puck, runs loose with a flower which causes people to fall in love with the first person they see.
