Tonight is my last night on Hamilton, tomorrow is my first day as a Disney princess.

"You know I'm not mad at you for liking that Colton kid, right?"

"Yes dad." I let out a soft chuckle.

"When you guys get married--"

"Dad!"

"I want to be a grandparent soon."

"Your only seven years older than me!"

"Which is why we adopted you, just a rememberance mia."

"Dad, I love you but Lin will kill me if I'm late."

"I'll kill Lin if he kills you."

"Dad I gotta go!"

"But.."

"Hamilton is happening in three hours."

"Ok fine, good luck." I hugged Anthony and started walking two blocks to the theatre, it was about ten minutes of a walk so I was too nervous. But it was my first time going alone. I held my keys in between my knuckles, continuing down the sidewalks. Taking pictures with fans and even getting a few gifts. Once I arrived at the theatre I got a crap ton more stuff and waved as I went in. I walked to my vanity and put on my costume and my makeup while others continued to file in. Once I finished everything I looked at my vanity with a small sad smile. I couldn't believe I was leaving tonight, I would miss this musical so much. Daveed had left a while ago, Leslie left to go take care of his daughter, Oak left last week, Mom and dad left for movies, and everyone else from the OBC was going they're separate ways tonight. Pippa was going to work on a musical, Lin was moving over to Moana, Renee was going home, Thayne was going to another musical, and Jon was coming over to Moana with Chris. Plus, the cast would get together as the cast one last time before the movie release to do the musical before we showed the movie then we were done. We'd still meet up, obviously, but until then we were done. I hugged everyone who was there, nearly crying. Chris patted me on the back.

"There's a party tonight, everyone's going."

"I'll be there, washing machine."

"Don't ever call me that again." He laughed, I smiled at Lin and we began.

•at the party•

I stood with Pippa and Renee in the back of the room watching everyone else get drunk since I was only 19, Anthony would kill me if I was drunk. I swirled my hair around my finger and hummed quietly. I was so tired but happy. By the end of the party I had escorted everyone to their cars with the help of Pippa, Renee, Thayne, and Chris. They left, taking people home. And I walked to Anthony's car. I got to it and noticed he wasn't in there. I shrugged and leaned against it, texting him.

~Chat with Father~

Mi: where are you??
Father: be right there, getting you something.

"Little. Miss. Mia Ramos." A familiar voice rang, I turned my head and felt my blood rush cold.

"Mr. Shin..?"

"Ya' know." He looked around the street, smiling almost evilly, "your mother is quite a screamer.."

"No, no!" I panicked, there wasn't many people on the street and he was beginning to close the space. I saw the flower store door open out of the corner of my eye.

"Back off." I said raising my hand, he stepped closer.

"Get away from her!" Anthony punched Mr. Shin in the face and unlocked the car. I climbed in and Anthony followed, we drove away. The further we got the more I started crying. By the time we got to the apartment building I was a sobbing mess. Anthony carried me to the apartment and once we got inside he laid me on the couch and explained to Jasmine, who wouldn't stop hugging me. She kissed my head. "I was terrified mom" I'd say over and over, but my mom. God how did she feel? That man, doing that to her. Tears ran down her cheeks, by the end of the night I was curled into Mom's side, mom was curled into Anthony and Anthony held us protectively.

When I woke up the next morning I checked the time.

"Fuck!" I yelled, getting up. It was almost 2pm and I had dress rehearsal at 4. I took a quick shower and Mom and I flat ironed my hair. I got into pajamas. Letting my hair stay flat and a bit wavy. I kissed Mom and Dad's cheeks goodbye and gave them hugs before climbing down the fire escape and getting into Lin's car with Jon and Chris. We all talked and laughed, we pulled up to The Public Theatre and got out. Jon was braiding my hair from the backseat and actually made it look really cool. I went to the dressing room and changed quietly humming as they pulled my hair into the design it needed to be. I thanked them and did a bit of natural makeup with fake eyelashes to make me look a bit more 'cartoony'? Lin swung by about ten mintues later and smiled.

"Hey star shine!"

"Hey Miranda."

"So uh, Anthony told me about last night.. you sure you wanna preform?"

"It's opening night Lin, I don't care if he had gotten to me. I would still preform tonight." I gave him a hug. He hugged me back and sighed.

"I'm probably as protective as a parent."

"Your my unofficial God-father." I released the hug. He laughed.

"I'm glad to take that role, now you have five mintues to curtain! Go Moana Go!" I laughed and ran off. I scanned the audience and saw my whole family there, Anthony's whole family and Jasmines whole family. I saw Colton Abby Livia and nose of the Hamilton cast all in first row. I took a deep breath and walked out holding a nine year old Clarissa's hand, who was holding a toddler Clementine, and started speaking.

"Moana, make way for me! My story will be told through ages! For years!" I laughed, kneeling too the little girls, "be careful how you live girls, I want you to stay safe."

We left stage and clementine got ready for her cue with her mom Gianna and they went it for the opening. I waited until the end of the opening when I walked out with my 'abuela' who was actually Lin's abuela and she was so sweet. When she died I actually felt like I was gonna cry, I held her hand.

"No, no." I whispered, "what do you need me to do.."

We ran through most of the Musical, having a break in the middle then continuing. At the end I bowed and blew kisses, people screamed and I did what Lin said to do. I cut the music, and smiled.

"Sing along, I've been staring at the edge of the water.." i sang the whole song with the crowd and people cheered, I laughed and waved. People were so excited, I was so excited. I changed out of costume and I left the room. Going to stagedoor. I opened the door and people screamed so I screamed back laughing. I signed so many Playbills, giggling and taking pictures with people I got to the end and saw Colton, I smiled and hugged him.

"Hey Mi, I got you some flowers. Blue like the ocean."

"Colton, aw." I kissed him, and turned to mia and abby who also got me flowers. When I saw Jasmine and Anthony I ran forward and hugged them so tightly. I knew people were taking pictures and recording me to whole time. We laughed.

I was now Moana, make way, make way!
