Blow us all away
Hello people. I will be leaving my computer and all that stuff at home when I leave for my summer break in a few days. This means that I won't update in like four weeks. So therefore I will try to post one or two more chapters in the upcomming week. I do not promise anything, but I will try. ok...?
Good. ON TO THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[PHILIP:]
Meet the latest graduate of King's College!
"wait.. how old is your son at this point?" Lafayette asked curiosly. hamilton didn't answer as he had a feeling of where this song was going.
I prob'ly shouldn't brag, but, dag, I amaze and astonish!
The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my pops!
"wow. that is kind of impressive." John muttered.
The ladies say my brain's not where the resemblance stops!
"what is that supposed to mean?!" Hamilton near shouted, sounding a bit offended.
I'm only nineteen but my mind is older
"that is what 'you' said in like the third song or something." hercules said smiling.
Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder
"How is that even possible?" Jefferson asked, wondering how somone could be more stupid and 'bolder' that mister Jerkface Hamilton.
I shoulder his legacy with pride
I used to hear him say
"that I was proud of you?"
That someday I would
[ENSEMBLE:]
Blow us all away
"That is right. Lin and Leslie sang that in the song when thay sang to their children." Lafayette pointed out, while the others nodded their heads agreeing.
[PHILIP:]
Ladies, I'm lookin for a Mr. George Eacker
"No." Hmuttered so quietly that no one could hear him, but if you had looked at his face you could see his heart breaking even more.
Made a speech last week, our Fourth of July speaker
"they still celebrate the fourth of July, right?" "I think so Washington."
He disparaged my father's legacy in front of a crowd
I can't have that, I'm making my father proud
"you alwayds made me proud son." Hamiltoin said ewith tears in his eyes. The others just assumed that it was because of how he missed his family. They had no idea that it was because Phillip had died later that week. well, Burr and Jefferson did know, but they didn't feel like telling the others. Burr for the sake of not hurting Alexander more. Jefferson for the sake of the plot. He simply wanted to see the others react to when Phillip died. while thinking this he couldn't help but feel a smirk forming on his face.
[MARTHA:]
I saw him just up Broadway a couple of blocks
He was goin' to see a play
"Ohhhh, what play?" "Shut up Jefferson!"
[PHILIP:]
Well, I'll go visit his box
[DOLLY:]
God, you're a fox
"What?!"
[PHILIP:]
And y'all look pretty good in ya' frocks
How 'bout when I get back, we all strip down to our socks?
"Calm down your son, Hamilton." The others laughed while he just looked down in his lap sadly.
[BOTH:]
Ok!
[COMPANY:]
Blow us all away!
[PHILIP:]
George!
[GEORGE:]
Shh
[PHILIP:]
George!
"he is serioulsy disturbing thsi George person in the middle of a play?"
[GEORGE:]
Shh! I'm tryin' to watch the show!
"see!"
[PHILIP:]
Ya' shoulda watched your mouth before you talked about my father though!
[GEORGE:]
I didn't say anything that wasn't true
Your father's a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are you
"how dare you?!!!!!" Hamilton got up from his seat but John pushed him back. " Alex. He tried. "it's not the real Eacker."
[ENSEMBLE:]
Ooooooooooh!
[PHILIP:]
It's like that?
[GEORGE:]
Yeah, I don't fool around
I'm not your little schoolboy friends
[PHILIP:]
See you on the dueling ground
"No." Washington muttered. He now understood why Alexnader acted the way he did.
That is, unless you wanna step outside and go now
[GEORGE:]
I know where to find you, piss off
I'm watchin' this show now
Shh
[PHILIP:]
Pops, if you had only heard the shit he said about you
I doubt you would have let it slide and I was not about to
"calm down, son." Hamilton muttered with a sad smile. 'But you are right. i would not have let it slide.' He thought.
[HAMILTON:]
Slow down
[PHILIP:]
I came to ask you for advice
This is my very first duel
"How many duels where you in Hamilton?" " Only one, but I was very close to duel James Monroe one time."
They don't exactly cover this subject in boarding school
"true."
[HAMILTON:]
Did your friends attempt to negotiate a peace?
"Since when did you acutally want peace?"
[PHILIP:]
He refused to apologize, we had to let the peace talks cease
[HAMILTON:]
Where is this happening?
[PHILIP:]
Across the river, in Jersey
"of course."
[HAMILTON/PHILIP:]
Everything is legal in New Jersey...
[HAMILTON:]
Alright
So this is what you're gonna do:
Stand there like a man until Eacker is in front of you
When the time comes, fire your weapon in the air
"I'm not sure if that is so smart." Lafayette muttered.
This will put an end to the whole affair
"Again, I feel like this will just end badly."
[PHILIP:]
But what if he decides to shoot?
Then I'm a goner
Hamilton could feel his breath catch in his troat. The others looked at him with question marks in their faces.
[HAMILTON:]
No, he'll follow suit if he's truly a man of honor
"But is he a man of honor?" Washington wondered.
To take someone's life, that is something you can't shake
Philip, your mother can't take another heartbreak
"oh god."
[PHILIP:]
Father
[HAMILTON:]
Promise me
You don't want this
Young man's blood on your conscience
"At least you care." Jefferson muttered.
[PHILIP:]
Okay, I promise
[HAMILTON:]
Come back home when you're done
Take my guns, be smart
"Those words don't fit in a sentence together." John pointed out, while the rest nodded in agreement. Next to them Chris cracked a smile at the statement.
Make me proud, son
"you made me so proud, Phillip."
[PHILIP:]
My name is Philip
I am a poet
"Awww, its from his birthday poem." Jefferson smirked while looking at the stage with shimmering eyes.
I'm a little nervous, but I can't show it
I'm sorry, I'm a Hamilton with pride
"he is so cute."
You talk about my father, I cannot let it slide
Mister Eacker! How was the rest of your show?
[GEORGE:]
I'd rather skip the pleasantries
Let's go
Grab your pistol
"That boy really need to come down from his horse for a minute." Burr muttered.
[PHILIP:]
Confer with your men
The duel will commence after we count to ten
[ENSEMBLE:]
Count to ten!
"That is very important." Hercules said. Next to him Alexander nodded as fast as he possibly could. He could feel the tears steaming down his face, all he could feel was quilt. This had all been his fault.
[PHILIP:]
Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then slowly and clearly aim your gun towards the sky
Burr and Hamilton exchanged a look before watching the stage.
[MALE ENSEMBLE:]
One two three four
[FULL ENSEMBLE:]
Five six seven
"Oh. my. lord." Washington let out as he saw PHillip get shot by Eacker. He took Alexanders hand and sqeezed it.
