"I can't believe you, Alexa! Sneaking out behind my back to meet your little friends! Revolutionaries at that! You are in big trouble, young lady!" Maria Reynolds was screaming at her daughter while Alexa couldn't seem to care less. Meanwhile, at the Hamilton household, a different type of conversation was going on.
"DAD! MOM! I need advice!" Philip nearly kicked down the living room door, shouting profanities.
"Calm down, Philip! What is it?" Eliza asked, quite calmly.
"I think I like-like a girl." Philip was fidgeting with his hands furiously.
"What's her name?" Alexander asked, looking up from his writing.
"Theodosia..." Philip didn't dare to say the last name, knowing his father will most definitely be getting his gun out if he did.
"That..sounds familiar..when did you meet her?" Alex questions.
"Yesterday." Philip gulps.
"You didn't go out yesterday. Unless you snuck out without our knowledge AGAIN." His father stands up, slamming his hands on the table. Philip did not stay around any longer and ran out of the house.
Philip started heading for the Burr household, wanting to find Aaron Burr. He suddenly came to a holt when he saw Burr walking down the street towards the bar. Philip ran over to him.
(SONG TIME)
[Company:]
1816. New York City.
[Philip:]
Pardon me. Are you Aaron Burr, sir?
[Burr:]
That depends. Who's asking?
[Philip:]
Oh, well, sure, sir
I'm Philip Hamilton, I'm at your service, sir
I have been looking for you
[Burr:]
I'm getting nervous
[Philip:]
Sir...
I heard your name from my dad. I was seeking a new group of friendship when I got sort of intimate with a close one of yours. I may have kissed her. It's a blur, sir. Her name is Theodosia?
[Burr:]
You kissed the my daughter
[Philip:]
Yes..?
I wanted to do what you did. Get backup in two, then join the revolution. They looked at me like I was stupid, I'm not stupid.
So how'd you do it? How'd you rise up so fast?
[Burr:]
It was my parents' dying wish before they passed
[Philip:]
You're an orphan. Of course! My dad's an orphan!
God, I wish there was another war!
Then we could prove that we're worth more
Than anyone bargained for...
[Burr:]
Can I buy you a drink?
[Philip:]
That would be nice
[Burr:]
While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice
Talk less
[Philip:]
What?
[Burr:]
Smile more
[Philip:]
Ha
[Burr:]
Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for
[Philip:]
You can't be serious
[Burr:]
You wanna get ahead?
[Philip:]
Yes
[Burr:]
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead
[Francis:]
Yo yo yo yo yo!
What time is it?
[Francis/Lafa/Sean:]
Show time!
[Burr:]
Like I said...
[Francis:]
Show time! Show time! Yo!
I'm Francis Laurens in the place to be!
A two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm workin' on three, uh!
Those redcoats don't want it with me!
'Cause I will pop chick-a pop these cops 'til I'm free!
[Lafa:]
Oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafa!
The new Lancelot of the revolutionary set!
I came from afar just to say "Bonsoir!"
Tell the King "Casse toi!" Who's the best?
C'est moi!
[Sean:]
Brrrah brraaah! Yes, I am Sean Mulligan
Up in it, lovin' it, yes I heard ya mother said, "Come again?"
[Lafa and Francis:]
Ayyyyy
[Sean:]
Lock up ya daughters and horses, of course
It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets...
[Lafa:]
Wow
[Francis:]
No more sex, pour me another brew, son!
Let's raise a couple more...
[Francis/Lafa/Sean:]
To the revolution!
"Hey guys!" Philip runs over to the three men, grinning. A-A-Ron looks confused. He knows these children but he just realised something about Francis Laurens. He honestly looks nothing like his father whatsoever. He should have at least green eyes since his father and mother does. Burr will have to ask Laurens about that another time. Suddenly, Theodosia walked in and sat next to the boys, groaning and rolling her eyes.
"Pour me a Sam Adams. I need to forget life right now." Francis does what she asks.
"What's up, girl?" Francis leans back on his seat.
"The ceiling and some guys were just hitting on me...I don't even know them! And I like someone else---shoooooooootttttt." Theodosia finally sees A.Burr. The other boys see him too.
"OOOOHHHHH! THEODOSIA'S IN TROUBLE~~~~" They all shout at the same time.
Meanwhile, Alexa had escaped her house again. Maria was so clueless sometimes. She was at the Hamilton's doorstep, having a slight anxiety attack before knocking on the door. Eliza answered, luckily. "Hello? Who are you and what is your business?" She asked, softly.
"Um....I uh....My name is Alexa..and I was wondering if Philip was here?" Alexa lies through her teeth. She actually wanted to ask them about her mother and if they really knew her.
"Oh. Well Philip isn't here right now, my apologies. We will inform him you stopped by. Is that all?" Eliza smiles.
"W-well....do you know Maria Reynolds?" Alexa gulps.
Eliza's smile drops and she calls 'Alexander'. Alexander comes to the door and looks at Alexa.
"Yes?" Alex holds Eliza's hand.
"This girl, Alexa, was asking if we knew Maria Reynolds." Eliza looks away.
"We do. Why do you ask?" A.Ham sighs.
"She's...my mother and she always told me my father was dead. But I know he isn't because of Philip. Philip said you um..had an affair with Maria...and my mother said she had an affair with my father......" Alexa looks down.
Alexander looks wide eyed at the nineteen year old in front of him. Maria did get pregnant after all and now he found his daughter. Alexa, after all she said, was starting to tear up. Alex bent down on one knee in front of her and spoke softly. "It's ok. It'll be ok." The father and daughter shared a hug.
(Wow that was exactly 1000 words. Tell me any mistakes in the comments)
