"Merp," I said nervously.

"Peggy, calm down." Eliza said, brushing Angelica's hair.

"Yeah. Its just gonna be just like any other winter ball Father hosts-- Ouch." She flinched.

"Sorry," Eliza apologized.

"Meeeerp..." I said again.

"Its gonna be alright, Pegs." Angie said and placed her hand on my shoulder.

"I-I'm just nervous.. I guess," I said.

Our father was hosting the annual winter's ball. We host it every year and every year I get nervous as hell. So much people in our house. I'm not used to having that much people in one place.

"Oh, stop worrying." Eliza said.

Angelica stood up and began fixing my messy hair. "Its going to be all right, I assure you."

She pulled my hair into a neat pony tail. She straightened my dress and helped me with make-up. Honestly, I hate make-up but Angelica didn't give me a choice.

"There." She said. "Now you look beautiful."

"... but I already am beautiful..." I muttered.

Eliza giggled at my comment. "C'mon. The guests have already arrived."

~~~

We stood at the top of the grand stair case, looking over the guests. All eyes were on us. I could feel myself sweating. Eliza placed one hand on my shoulder, trying to calm me down.

"Its okay," Angelica whispered.

I took a deep breath and walked down the stairs with my sister by my side. I gripped the hand rail and looked at the crowd. There were tons of people looking at us. What if I tripped? I would be a laughing stock.

Eliza was first to reach the ball room proper. She walked off to a group of women and they began talking and giggling. Next was Angelica who walked over to some small dude in uniform. That must be the shortest soldier I've seen. Soon they began to talk.

That left me. I was there alone. My heart was racing and my hands were starting to get sweaty. I walked around the ball room and bumped into another girl. She felt to the ground.

"Oh my god." I said and reached my hand to help her up. "I'm so so so so sorry."

She chuckled and grabbed my hand. "Its cool," she said. I helped her up to her feet.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't looking." I apologized.

"It-its fine, really." She smiled.

She had soft-looking h/l h/c hair, sparkling e/c eyes, plump lips. She look beautiful. She wore an amazingly crafted gown. The gown was f/c with long sleeves and a low neck line.

"I-I'm P-Poogy-- I mean Peggy," I stuttered. "Peggy Schuyler."

She laughed. Her laugh was cute. "Y/n Mulligan." She replied.

"That's a lovely gown," I said.

"Thanks," Y/n smile. "My brother made it."

"Your brother?" I asked to which she nodded in response.

"Hercules Mulligan." She replied. "He's there with his boyfriend, Lafayette."

(A/n: yes I love both Lafayette (Laf moar tho sry Herc) and Hercules ad ship them both too. God help me)

I nodded. "Do you maybe want a dance?"

"Sur--"

"Eyyy!!" Y/n's brother said, walking towards us. "My baby sis finally showing her gay! Awwww."

"Get your ass out of my life!" Y/n yelled, her face red.

I laughed. Y/n covered her face as her brother wiggled his eye brows. They seemed cool. Her brother chuckled.

"Hercules Mulligan," he said to me, extending his hand.

I shook it and smiled. "Peggy Schuyler." I replied and he nodded.

"Herc, mon amour!" His boyfriend called.

"I gotta go." He said and ran to his boyfriend.

"So how about that dance?" Y/n asked.

My face went red. "Let's go."

I grabbed her and and wrapped one around her waist. Pink blush crept to her cheeks. She placed one hand on my shoulder and we danced to the music.

I saw some people give us weird looks but we paid them no attention. I got lost in her bright e/c eyes. She smiled as we swayed to the rythmn. When the music ended, she dipped me and we curtsied.

"Let's look for somewhere private." I whispered, making her blush.

I dragged her along our estate. We ended up in the study. I never really stayed her. It was more of Angie's little quiet place but no one was there so we stayed here.

"You're a great dancer." She said.

"Th-thanks." I replied, blushing.

She began to lean closer. My face heated up as I followed her example. Our lips got closer and closer. I could feel her warm breath against my face. She wrapped one hand around my waist, pulling me closer.

I could feel her steady heart beat. She eyes had a playful fire inside them. My arms snaked around her neck and we closed the gap between us. Her lips were soft. The kiss was filled with passion.

I ran my hand through her hair as she swept her toungue on my lower lip. I granted her wish and her toungue darted inside my mouth. We fought for dominance as she pulled me closer. I moaned and gripped her hair.

"Hey Pegs you he-- HOLY MOTHER OF APPLE SAUCE!!" Eliza yelled.

We pulled away blushing. Eliza had a shocked expression on her face. She couldn't utter a word but she was flailing her hands around the air. Y/n kissed me on the nose.

"See ya." She said and left the room.

I felt my heart explode. She was the one for me.

"What the actually freak fracking heck man?!" Eliza yelled.

I began sweating. This would take a lot of explaining.

~~~

A/n: now I barf rainbows. *barfs rainbows* that can't be good.

Anyway! Hope you like that you gay ass people. I found some ideas locked up in my brain just waiting to be set free. So I did.

Next chapter is....
