The music for Winter's Ball came on and then ended. It's time.
"Ooooh, I do I do I do."
"Ooooh, I do I do I do."
"Boy, you got me.."
"Helpless!
Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm helpless!
Down for the count, and I'm drowning in 'em."
"I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight
We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
Laughing at my sister as she's dazzling the room
Then you walked in, and my heart went "Boom!" Lin walked into the scene, and I held my hand over my heart.
Trying to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
Everybody's dancing and the band's top volume."
"Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine."
"Grab my sister, and whisper, "Yo, this one's mine." I grab onto Renee's hands and then she walks away to Lin
"My sister made her way across the room to you, and I got nervous, thinking "What's she gonna do?"
"She grabbed you by the arm,
I'm thinkin' "I'm through"
"Then you look back at me
and suddenly I'm Helpless!" Lin gazes at me putting on an adoring expression
"Oh, look at those eyes, Oh! Yeah, I'm helpless! I'm so into you I am so into you!!" "I know I'm down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em." I twirl in the middle of the dance floor.
"Where are you taking me?" Lin says to Renée.
"I'm about to change your life, " Renée says back and walks towards me."Then, by all means, lead the way, then" Lin says walking behind her towards me.
"Elizabeth Schuyler. It's a pleasure to meet you" I curtsy
"Schuyler?" Lin puts on a confused face looking at than her.
"My sister." Renée smiled at him,
"Thank you for all your service" I smile sweetly at him
"If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it." He smiled back and took my hand in his and kissed it, lingering it for a few seconds.
"I'll leave you to it" Renée smirked at us both and winked at me.
"One week later, I'm writing a letter nightly now my life gets better, every letter that you write me
Laughing at my sister, cuz she wants to form a harem!" I hold a letter in my hand and put it in a box Jasmine has in front of me. I closed it and twirled.
"I'm just saying, if you loved me, you would share him!"
"Hah!" I said in her face.
"Two weeks later, in the living room stressing My father's stone-faced while you're asking for his blessing" I sang while Lin was talking to 'My Father' and sat on a bench with Renée and Jasmine.
"I'm dying inside, as you wine and dine!"
"And I'm trying not to cry 'cause there's nothing that your mind can't do."
"My father makes his way across the room to you! I panic for a second thinking we're through!"
"But then he shakes your hand and says 'Be True'"
"And you turn back to me, smiling, and I'm Helpless!" I twirl and run to him hugging him, smelling his scent.
"That boy is mine; That boy is mine!"
"Helpless! Helpless! Down for the count, and I'm drowning in them!"
Lin ran up to me and grabbed my hands causing adrenaline to run throughout my body.
"Eliza, I don't have a dollar to my name
An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame
All I have's my honor, a tolerance for Paine
A couple of college credits and my top-notch brain
Insane, your family brings out a different side of me
Peggy confides in me, Angelica tried to take a bite of me
No stress, my love for you is never in doubt
We'll get a little place in Harlem and we'll figure it out
I've been livin' without a family since I was a child
My father left, my mother died, I grew up buck wild
But I'll never forget my mom's face, that was real
And long as I'm alive, Eliza, swear to God
You'll never feel so..."
"I do, I do, I do, I do!"
"Eliza" he sang to me
"I do, I do, I do, I do!"
"I never felt so-" he sang back
"Hey, yeah, yeah!"
"I'm down for the count I'm—"
"My life is gon' be fine cuz Eliza's in it."
"I look into your eyes,
and the sky's the limit
I'm drowning in them!"
Wedding music starts to play, and someone puts a veil on my head, I walk down the aisle and then kiss Lin. The kiss was passionate and longer than the usual ones during Hamilton. We split apart once someone on stage by Lin nudged him. Lin wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer if even possible. Satisfied began and the choreography was repeated.
