One last time
"I wonder what Washington wants to talk to Hamilton about." John said looking at Lafayette who nodded agreeing with him.
[HAMILTON:]
Mr. President, you asked to see me?
"Don't get to cocky now?" "What does that mean, Jefferson?" "I don't know. Y/N said it to Lin one of the days."
[WASHINGTON:]
I know you're busy
"Yes! By overworking yourself. Take a break."
[HAMILTON:]
What do you need, sir? Sir?
"Oh oh, this does not sound good." Herc muttered.
[WASHINGTON:]
I wanna give you a word of warning
"Did he even care?" Burr sighed.
[HAMILTON:]
Sir, I don't know what you heard
But whatever it is, Jefferson started it
"HEY!" "Oh, calm down Jefferson. Don't be such a child." Hamilton shot back while smirking.
[WASHINGTON:]
Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning
"Yessss!" Hamilton said happily together with John. He had forgotten what happened after that.
[HAMILTON:]
You're kidding
"Lin looks so happy." Washington noted, smiling.
[WASHINGTON:]
I need a favor
"Sure, yes. What is it?" "Calm down john."
[HAMILTON:]
Whatever you say, sir, Jefferson will pay for his behavior
"Stop laying all the blame on Thomas." Lafayette said. The,as had been his friend when they where still alive in their own time, so he naturally supported Jefferson a little bit.
[WASHINGTON:]
Shh
Talk less
"Smile more." Burr silently sung.
[HAMILTON:]
I'll use the press
I'll write under a pseudonym, you'll see what I can do to him
"I don't think tat will work though. They will al know who you are because no one talked shit about Jefferson like you did and write that much." Burr said to Hamilton with raised eyebrows.
[WASHINGTON:]
I need you to draft an address
"For who?"
[HAMILTON:]
Yes! He resigned
You can finally speak your mind
[WASHINGTON:]
No, he's stepping down so he can run for President
"That was nit what I meant when I said that you should resign." Hamilton muttered annoyed.
[HAMILTON:]
Ha. Good luck defeating you, sir
"Thank you for your faith in me, son."
[WASHINGTON:]
I'm stepping down, I'm not running for President
"What!" Johns breath caught in his throat an Hamilton squeezed his hand as he slowly got better.
[HAMILTON:]
I'm sorry, what?
[WASHINGTON:]
One last time
Relax, have a drink with me
One last time
Let's take a break tonight
"Oh so you take breaks here, but not with your family, I see how it is."
And then we'll teach them how to say goodbye
To say goodbye
"We know how to say 'goodbye' we are not stupid." "....shut up Jefferson."
You and I
[HAMILTON:]
No, sir, why?
"My question exactly." John said still a bit confused.
[WASHINGTON:]
I wanna talk about neutrality
[HAMILTON:]
Sir, with Britain and France on the verge of war, is this the best time
"No."
[WASHINGTON:]
I want to warn against partisan fighting
"He's taking about you, you know?" Hercules said to Hamilton, burr and Jefferson.
[HAMILTON:]
But
[WASHINGTON:]
Pick up a pen, start writing
"And Y/N is commanding Lin around again."
I wanna talk about what I have learned
The hard-won wisdom I have earned
"I had a really good time as president, but I never really wanted to be one." "You were the best one, father. Especially better than that Donald guy." Everyone groaned at the mention of Trump.
[HAMILTON:]
As far as the people are concerned
You have to serve, you could continue to serve
"But u didn't want to." He sighed.
[WASHINGTON:]
No! One last time
The people will hear from me
One last time
And if we get this right
We're gonna teach 'em how to say goodbye
You and I
[HAMILTON:]
Mr. President, they will say you're weak
"They wouldn't dare." John muttered angrily.
[WASHINGTON:]
No, they will see we're strong
"My point."
[HAMILTON:]
Your position is so unique
"And now a fool is sitting there."
[WASHINGTON:]
So I'll use it to move them along
[HAMILTON:]
Why do you have to say goodbye?
"Because I'm not a king."
[WASHINGTON:]
If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on
"And we did.... after a while." Hercules said sadly.
It outlives me when I'm gone
"It truly did."
Like the scripture says:
"Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid."
They'll be safe in the nation we've made
"That is very poetic."
"Lins fault."
I wanna sit under my own vine and fig tree
A moment alone in the shade
At home in this nation we've made
One last time
"One last time. This is so sad... are you crying John." John buried his face into Hamilton shirt and hid himself from the world.
[HAMILTON:]
One last time
[HAMILTON:]
Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. I shall also carry with me
"Is Lin seriously resisting my resignation letter?" George groaned.
[HAMILTON AND WASHINGTON (HAMILTON):]
The hope (that my country will) view them with indulgence (and that)
After forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal
(The faults of incompetent abilities will be) consigned to oblivion,
"I'm pretty sure he is." Hamilton said, remembering wring the words that was on the piece of paper.
As I myself must soon be to the mansions of rest
I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which I promise myself to realize the sweet enjoyment of partaking,
In the midst of my fellow-citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government,
"And we are still free."
The ever-favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust
Of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers
At this time many of the fathers where crying and hugging each other. Had they only known that it would be so much worse later... they would probably have speared the tears...or maybe that wouldn't help as everything was just sad.
[WASHINGTON:]
One last time
[ALL WOMEN:]
George Washington's going home!
"And we are just making this even more sad!?" John near screamed. He turned to look to his right where he could see a built man with dark skins sitting. They met eyes and the man nodded acknowledging and stuck his hand out. "Chris." He said. "John." "Pleasure... you and your friends seem really affected by this." Chris remarked. John nodded. "This show really host us close I guess." The guy 'Chris' nodded. "I understand. I was the same way when I heard this song the first time." Chris talked like he had seen the show many times, something John didn't quite understand as Y/N had told him that it was really hard to get tickets to the show. "Have you seen it before?" "Oh yeah. Many times. Let's just say: I know every single note and dance move George Washington role." He smirked as if he knew something John didn't. John looked a bit confused and was about to ask what he meant. But the stranger had already turned away and John didn't want to disturb him.
[HAMILTON:]
Teach 'em how to say goodbye
[COMPANY:]
George Washington's going home!
[WASHINGTON:]
You and I
[COMPANY:]
George Washington's going home!

Going home
"So sad," Lafayette muttered with tears streaming down his face.
[COMPANY:]

[WASHINGTON:]
History has its eyes on you
[COMPANY:]
George Washington's going home!
[WASHINGTON (COMPANY):]
We're gonna teach 'em how to say goodbye!

Teach 'em how to say goodbye!
(Teach 'em how!)
To say goodbye!
(Say goodbye!)
Say goodbye!
(Say goodbye!)
One last time!
(One last time!)
Time...
By now everyone was crying and hugging each other as if their loved depende on it. By the side, no one noticed Chris smirk.
