Just as Adi prepared to push play, a new person ran in, One of Adis besties, Alex!

"ADI! Sofia told me about me you were here. I can't believe you would do this!" Alex said.

"She did? Oh well, no turning back now! Guys, this is my friend.... Alex..." they all awkwardly said hello, everyone thinking some rendition of, this might get confusing...

Anyway, we're at ten duel commandments, wanna stay?"

"I really shouldn't... but I got a bit of time." She took a seat next to Adi and asked for some popcorn. Adi tilted her bucket towards her and pressed play.

"I wasn't Lees second..." Burr thought out loud.

Yeah, historical movies or musicals, like this one, will do that... Adi started.

"A cast can only be so big, so they use a more important person to fill a minor role or to represent bigger ideas." Alex finished.
