"Anne, I have an offer that I know you can't refuse."

The Queen just looked at him with an unamused look, complete with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, and how would that be different from the other ones you made?"

Her fellow French cohort just smirked and signaled a bartender to put on a track.

"You're doing this by song aren't you?" She sighs, knowing this was inevitable.

Lafayette just grinned at her. "We're Broadway people, what'd you expect?"

"Aside from the fact of being extremely overdramatic, not much honestly."

"I really need to teach you about those one of these days..." He muttered as she rolled her eyes at him. "Well, expect of a lot of on the spot singing then, like now."

A familiar, fast-tempo, piano playing brought a small smile to her face as Lafayette grabbed a mic beside the counter.

(A/N: Lafayette=Bold   Boleyn=Italics     Together=Bold and Italicize)

"Right here, right now
I put the offer out
I don't wanna chase you down
But I know you see it"

Amidst the onlookers they are receiving (although moreso on him than her), another raised brow greeted him as she sipped her gin.

"You run, with me
And I can cut you free
Out of the drudgery and walls you
Keep in"

Two taps at the counter, and a sliding glass of vodka meets his hand.

"Now trade that typical
For something colorful
And if its crazy live a little crazy
You can play it sensible,
A Queen of conventional"

He cheered internally as she glanced at him fully.

"Or you can risk it all and see..."

He jumps to his feet as Anne leaned back at the counter on the bar stool she is sitting on. The other patrons, characters like they are, are now looking/filming at the spectacle.

Besides, its not often you see the Marquis de Lafayette and the infamous Anne Boleyn together, much less putting up an impromptu performance.

"Don't! You wanna get away?
From the same old part you gotta play
Cause I got what you need so come with me
And take the ride, I'll take you to the other side
'Cause you can do like you do
Or you can do like me
Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side"

Cheers erupted as Anne stood up, put her glass down, took her own mic from the holster of her costume, and join in Lafayette's theatrics.

"Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in
Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen"

She boops his chest, chin, and nose at the last phrase as Lafayette looks a bit red in the face. (Either from embarrassment or the drinks, I'll let you decide.)

"So thanks, but no
I think I'm good to go
'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in
Now I admire you, and that whole show you do"

She nods at the familiar gold and black poster.

" You're onto something, really it's something
But I live among the swells, and we don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave that up to you"

The bartender, knowing what's about to happen, pushes a button beneath the counter to make the surface more stage-like. The smooth counter-top of the bar is now flipped over to a shiny, yet not-as-easy to slip on surface. The French-American Revolutionary jumped to stand on it, as the second queen pushed herself up to it and stood as well.

"Don't you know that I'm okay with this uptown part I get to play
'Cause I got what I need and I don't want to take the ride
I don't need to see the other side
So go and do like you do
I'm good to do like me
Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
Oh, damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine
I don't need to see the other side."

Anne turned away from Lafayette and "walks away" from him until the next verse makes her freeze in her tracks.

"Now is this really how you like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays"

She waves a dismissive hand.

"If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns"

'I'm already all of those though...' She thought as her gaze shifts away from her companion. Noticing the subtle change in her mood, the Frenchman walks closer as the rambunctious crowd grew a bit quieter.

"But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little"

He nudges her as Anne continued to turn away from him.

"Just let me give you the freedom to dream
And it'll wake you up and cure your aching
Take your walls and start 'em breaking"

He does punches with his hands (while his voice is still somehow picked up by the microphone) as Anne gave a small chuckle.

"Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
But I guess I'll leave that up to you"

The crowd anxiously looks at the queen in green, as she seems to ponder his "offer". Cheers erupted yet again as she turns to look at Lafayette with a smirk.

"Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?"

"Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen"

She looks surprised for a split second, before bristly chuckling.

"I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine"

Step.

"Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime"

Step.

"Fifteen"

Step.

"I'd do eight"

Step.

"Twelve"

Step.

"Maybe nine"

Step.

"Ten"

They were now in arms length by the end of the alternating verses.

Anne stretched out her hand, expecting Lafayette to shake it. Instead of shaking it, he spun her around as she let's out a surprised shriek.

Yep, they were totally tipsy while doing this.

The duo and crowd began to sing the final chorus, the bartender even bopping his head to the beat.

"Don't you wanna get away to a whole new part you're gonna play
'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride
To the other side
So if you do like I do
So if you do like me
Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
We're going to the other side
So if you do like I do
(To the other side)
So if you do like me
(We're going to the other side)
'Cause if we do we're going to the other side
We're going to the other side"

They spun one another at the final verse, face to face, looking a bit exhausted than they anticipated, but still smiling.

The cheers were what broke the two off from their stare off.

Lafayette clambered down from the counter then offers a hand to help Anne down. The second queen took it as she came down as well, swaying a bit from both the drinks and the exhaustion.

The Frenchman handed back the mic to the bartender. "Anyone else want to perform tonight?" The latter questioned into the microphone.

An array of "no's" and head shakings confirmed their answers.

"I must say," the bartender started as Lafayette and Anne gave him a fearful glance, thinking they might've angered and disturbed the bar. He noticed this and chuckled. "Don't worry, you're not in trouble."

"Really?" Anne asked skeptically.

"Yup, its been a while since someone pulled something like that," he affirmed, "plus, its good to see some life around here. Despite my customers being people from musicals, they rarely perform here. Much less engaging the whole place in it."

"Well its good to hear about that monsieur."

A few more words exchanged with the bartender, and a few pictures here and there with the fans, the two headed home; Lafayette to the hotel the "Hamilton" cast is staying, and Anne to the rather large house ("its a mansion mon ami-" "no its not-" "yes it IS-") she shared with the other queens. Both were walking in the same direction of their intended destinations in silence.

"So..." Anne broke the ice. "What was that offer you were talking about before you dragged me into that?"

"Admit it, you enjoyed it." He waggled his eyebrows.

"That's for you to believe and me to decide on."

"Fine." He was the one rolling his eyes now. "I was going to ask if you and the others would like to come with us on an outing tomorrow."

"Where we going?"

"I'm not really sure, but all I know is that its something to do with a place called 'Hampton' or something like that."

"Hampton you say?" He nods at her question.

She gains a smirk as a plan is already forming in her head regarding her former royal lodgings. "Expect us to come along with you."
