We all hang out backstage for a while, having fun and being a family.

We stay in the kitchen until everyone gets changed and stagedoors, eating a little and hanging out. Finally, jazz and Anthony come in through the door and come over to us. "Ham4ham? The people saw your periscope." Anthony says, and I look to Riley. He nods, so we stand and walk behind the door. Anthony sticks his thumb out the door, giving Lin a thumbs up. I hear him greet the crowd, his loud and energetic voice piping through the mic. He knocks on the door, and I open it, leading Riley out to the cement steps. We wave and Lin starts to introduce us.

"Ok guys, so you know Anthony's daughter, Maddie, and this is her boyfriend," He says in a sarcastically annoyed tone, because we all know he actually loves riley, "riley. They're gonna sing for you guys today!" He says and hands us mics. I can see the snow piling up behind the crowd, it's getting pretty bad. He turns around and whispers to us "That would be enough" He says, and we nod. The orchestra starts to play and I breathe. "Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now. Look around, look around." I begin, gesturing to the crowd. "How long have you known?" Riley sings, gently pulling my shoulder to face him.

"A month or so..." I sing, looking away. "Eliza, you should have told me." He sings, looking at me. "I wrote to the general a month ago." I say softly, looking up to him. "No." He sings, turning on his foot. "I begged him to send you home." I say, grabbing his shoulder this time. "You should have told me." He sings, his voice softening. "I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was won." "Wars not done." "But you deserve a chance to meet your son. Look around look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now." I sing. We continue through the song, acting it out on the small stairs we have to balance on.

"Thanks you guys! See you later!" I say as Riley hands back is mic and slips his hand around my waist. The crowd makes an audible "awww" and I giggle, making Riley laugh. We walk back inside, then I shout. The lights all go out and I look outside. The city is completely white. "Guys, the snows too bad out there, we're staying here." Lin says, and my face lights up. I run through the halls. "Hamilton sleepover!" I shout, everyone either goes to their windows or to the door, wondering what I'm doing. Riley chases after me, then something pops into my head. I run to chris' dressing room and pop my head in the door. "BLACKOUT, BLACKOUT!" I shout, and hear Lin from the kitchen. "Hey, that's my line!" He shouts and I laugh. I run to my room and pull out all of my blankets and pillows, which is alot. Most people have clothes here, and even Riley left some incase something like this happened.

I drop all of the pillows and blankets down on the stage, after a few trips. I grab my favorit, big, fuzzy, thick blanket and a few pillows, and pick a place on the stage. Everyone comes out and looks at the piles of pillows and blankets. "Were you like, planning this?" Leslie asks, laughing. "No, I just like to make pillow forts." I say, and Anthony breaks through the crowd. "I can attest to this." He says. Everyone grabs pillows and stuff, sprawling out on the stage. Tommy and Alex pull up the tv, and I throw in a movie. We all hang out and I grab plenty of popcorn, handing it out to everyone.

We all hang out, and end up playing truth or dare. By the end, lin had to speak in the King George voice, pippa had to walk around the circle every time someone was dared, Carleigh did a hand stand, and I was laying on my stomach. I ran backstage quickly and grabbed Apples to Apples. This would be hilarious. "I am notorious for the most hilarious cards in this game." I show them the box and Daveed stands up. "You are going down, mad." He says, crossing his arms. "We'll see about that." I say, and sit down. "We're playing partners, cause it'll take forever just to get cards out if we did one by one." I say. Most people just get with who they're sitting with, and I pair with riley.

The whole game was filled with side clutching laughter, hilarious answers, and many outraged players wondering why they didn't win. Daveed and I are neck and neck the whole time, but Riley and I beat him. Riley and I run to daveed and oak, who threw their cards down. "Told ya. Who are the apples to apples king and queen?" I said, laughing. "Oak and i!" He says and starts running away from both oak and I. I catch him in the kitchen, getting a drink of water. I chase him back onto the stage and we all sit down. Everyone is talking and we all slowly fall asleep.
