As we tour the theater, me and Anthony laughed and talked and became 'besties' as Anthony so affectionately called us.

"Well, we are done" he says

" Aw, I was having fun, teasing you, Ant" I say.

" I thought I heard you guys from my dressing room" says Lin , coming out.

" Okay, I'm going to go get ready. " Says Anthony, " Come visit me before you leave, "

" Okay, " I say.

" Did you have fun?" asks Lin.

"Yeah, Lexi is always telling me that she likes my voice and that I am going to be on stage one day. I guess, she was right but not in the way that she thought, " i laugh.

"Wait, do you have a good voice?" Lin says.

" I think I do" I say sheepishly.

" Sing for us later at home, okay?" Asks Lin.

"Okay" I agree.

" Hey, Emma, " calls Pippa.

" The Schuyler sisters are calling you. " says Lin, grinning.

" Bye, " I say, waving, before turning to Jazz, Renee and Pippa " I have been summoned here " I say, making an entrance.

" So, I was wondering who Lexi is" asks Pippa.

" Oh, Lexi is my best friend since 9th grade." I say in short

" oh, do you have a picture?" asks Jasmine.

"Of course" I say

" Thats us at a picnic" I say, pointing out Lexi

" Thats us at a picnic" I say, pointing out Lexi.

" Wait, how old are you both?" asks Renee, looking at the picture and then looking back up to me.

" I'm 17, turning 18 in 2 weeks and Lexi is 18 and has been for a couple months. " I say.

" Really?" says a voice behind me. I spin and see Anthony. " But, your a shrimp. "

"No, I'm not" I argue.

"Yes, you are and now, your new nickname is Shrimp. " He says, grinning.

" Shut up, Ant" I say, before shunning him and turning back to the girls.

"So, Lin was telling us that you don't have anything so he asked us to take you shopping. Do you want to go tomorrow? Lin already approved it. " says Pippa, smiling.

"ok, yay. I love shopping" I squeal.

" yay" we all cheer.

"places, I repeat places" says an announcer.

"Bye, good luck guys. " I say as they head to the wings.

" I don't need luck" says Anthony, winking at me and I can literally hear my heart beat faster than normal.

TIMESKIP

" I can't believe you died" I cry to Anthony. " That was the saddest death scene I have ever seen.

"You know it's a musical, right?" He says, " It's fake"

"except its not. It's real events. OH my gosh, I can't believe this" I say, hugging him.

"It's okay" He says, hugging me back. " Besides the death scene, did you like it?"

" Like it? Pshhh, no. I loved it! That was awesome! I most definitely get why Lexi, oh shes my best friend, loves Hamilton. " I say.

" so, kiddo. I called Vanessa. She is going to pick you up and then go to get Sebastian from her mothers house. She'll be here in 5 ish minutes" Lin says. I go to hug him. " You ok, Em?"

" You died" I say.

" OH, that" says Lin.

"OH, that? That was sad. Only second to Ant's death scene." I say.

" Why second?" Lin suddenly pulls me off of him and stares at me.

" Because in the beginning, it says Aaron Burr shoots him. So, no mystery. But, still sad. The lead up to it. " I say, sadly.

I go over to Pippa and Renee, and say, " Oh my god, your voices. That was amazing. "

" Really? You liked it." Asks Pippa. 

" Liked? I loved it!! It was amazing" I squeal.

Lin walks over and laughs at my squeal. He wraps his arm around my shoulders.

"Ok, well, Vanessa is out front so ready?" He says. I nod.

"BYe, Emma. " Calls out Anthony.

"Bye, ant. " I say.
