(FIRST THINGS FIRST
WHOO

I swear, if someone asks me to do fidget spinners-)

The whole gang had been sitting on these wonderful things called 'couches', which they had never heard of. All they knew is that they were comfy.

"When's the damn thing gonna start?" John sneered. "We've been sitting here for AN HOUR."
"Patience, Jacky, patience." Alexander sighed, smiling softly.
"But he has a point, Dad. They're taking forever!" Philip complained. "I was supposed to be on my way to duel that bitchface, Eacker."

"Language, Philip." Eliza intervened.

Suddenly, the lights dimmed as Burr appeared on screen.

Burr: How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore

"I don't have a 'Playbill', but I already know it's you, Burr."

And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence impoverished,
In squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

"...Stop making it sound like you're asking how the hell it's possible for me to do anything." Alex rolled his eyes as Aaron remained silent, simply ignoring everyone. The last thing he needed was drama. Alex continued to shoot Burr nasty glances until Eliza finally elbowed his side. He immediately stopped and went back to the show.

Laurens: The ten-dollar founding father without a father

"LOOK! LOOK! IT'S ME!" John squealed, bouncing up and down in his seat.

"Wait, did Laurens say TEN-DOLLAR?! AND FOUNDING FATHER?! I MUST BE FAMOUS!" Alex giggled.

"Shut up and watch the fucking show." Thomas snapped.
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter By being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter

"Who the hell would put a fourteen-year-old in charge of anything? Especially that obnoxious asshole."

"I have a fist for a reason, Thomas."

Jefferson: And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away
Across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter

"Just like your band of pirates in France, Eh Laf?" Lee smirked.

"Tais-toi, bitch."

Madison: Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned

Alex remember that fateful day. James, his brother had died. It wasn't an easy subject, but it could not be completely ignored.

John could tell what Alex was thinking, and pulling him into a tight hug, causing his friend to smile.

Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain

Burr: Well, the word got around, they said, this kid is insane, man
Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
Get your education, don't forget from whence you came
And the world is gonna know your name
What's your name, man?

"I'd hope that you knew, Aaron. He literally says it every five minutes." Peggy snorted.

"Peggy, no."
