Camp

Friday

This is it. Today is the day that the American troops move into the reenactment camp. You were excited to have such an important role, you felt as if it was an honor. You quickly jumped up out of bed, realized that Lafayette was still asleep, but Thomas was not, so you still had to be quiet. You quietly scampered to the closet and grabbed your uniform, and went into the bathroom to change.

You opened the bathroom door and grabbed your boots, quickly sliding them on, and gathering all of your things. Lafayette must have got up while you were in the bathroom. You picked up your Saber, Backpack, satchel, and hat, then quietly left the room. You placed all of your stuff by the door, and headed to the kitchen, smelling some good coming from the room.

You quickly sprinted and jumped into the kitchen. "I SMELLED FOOD, WHERE IS THE FOOD?" You yelled, excited. Thomas would laugh "Yes, we made food." He'd say pointing to a plate of hashbrowns. You quickly started to run over until Thomas grabbed your arm. "But, go wake up Herc first." He'd say smirking. You just wanted food. "I'm hungryyyy!" You'd whine. "Just go wake up Herc." You'd groan and walk to Herc's room.

You knocked on the door. No response. You opened the door slightly. He was sleeping, so you opened the door and quietly went inside. You walked over to where Herc was sleeping on the floor, and knelt down next to him. "Herc, wake up." You'd say shaking him. He'd just groan and shoo you away with his hand. You'd sigh. "Herc, get the hell up. I'm hungry, and can't eat till you're up." You'd say slightly annoyed. He'd roll over and look at you. "Wow, an angel..." You'd scoff. "I'm no Angel. Now get up." He'd once again, now listen to you, and instead grab your arm, and pull you next to him, having you lie down with him.
"No, let's stay here..." he'd say hugging you. He was warm, and it felt nice to have his arms around you. After a few minutes, your stomach growled, longing for delicious hashbrowns.
"Herc, c'mon. I wanna go get food." You'd whine.
"No, stay here. Don't fly away, Angel." He'd say, hugging you tighter. You had enough. You wanted those damn hashbrowns.
"I said I'm not an angel-" You'd say smugly "I AM A CROW! CAAAAAW! CAAAAAAAW!" You'd yell, flapping your arms around like a bird, hitting Herc so he'd let you go.
"Alright, if you insist." He'd say standing up. He'd pick you up and carry you on your shoulders. "FLY CROW, FLY!" he'd yell, running out of the room and into the living room. He'd run around in circles while you flapped your arms yelling "CAAAWW!" John, Thomas, Laf, and Alex emerged from the kitchen laughing. Herc would put you down, and you'd run over to the guys laughing at you yelling "FEAR ME, FOR I AM THE MIGHTY CROW!" you'd start jumping up and down in front of them, looking like a total idiot. Herc walked over and messed up your hair. "That's the best thing about you, Y/N." You'd stop jumping and look up at him. "What's that?" He'd chuckle and reply with "You're always going to be a child." He'd say smiling, and you'd smile back brightly. "Ok, now you can have hashbrowns." Thomas would say walking into the kitchen. "YAAAAY!" You yelled running in after him.

You all were standing at the door, backpacks, and belongings in hand. "Alright, is everyone ready to go?" Washington would say, swinging a backpack over his shoulder. You all nodded, and left the room. You went to the car and got in while Washington checked out of the hotel. Washington got in the car, and you stared out the car window at the beautiful fields and countryside of Gettysburg. It was February, but it felt like March already. It was like you skipped winter and went straight to spring. The sun was shining, and the weather was that perfect temperature where it wasn't too hot, but it wasn't too cold.

You all arrived at the reenactment field. You all quickly piled out of the car and ran to your tent. Thomas had to walk to the small hotel, but you'd pass it on your way to the barn, so you agreed to walk there with him if he helped you unpack. You burst into the tent and immediately dove into a corner of the tent. "MINE!" You'd yell lying on your back, kicking your feet with your backpack on your chest. Thomas would show you how to set up a quilt to make it work as a mattress, and you placed your blanket and pillow down, and a little stuffed husky-dog plush you had brought along to keep you company.

You and Thomas walked through the field to get to the small hotel. You arrived and walked into Thomas's room. It was a quaint little countryside room, which had a lot of sunlight coming into it from 2 small windows. You helped Thomas unpack, a little jealous that he got a bed and you had to sleep on the ground, but you didn't care that much. Your role was SOOO much better than his.

You'd finish unpacking Thomas's belongings, and wave goodbye to you. He'd grab you and hug you. "Be safe out there. I'm always here if you need anything, doll." You'd hug him back and nod in reply
"Thanks, Thomas." You'd walk outside to the porch of the small hotel. You'd start walking down the stairs, only to be grabbed and pulled into a hug. "Y/N!" the voice would yell. The person was shorter than you and had curly, bouncy hair. "Excited, bubbly, short, bouncy curls, I know who that is." You'd say escaping their grasp. "Peggy!" You'd yell in excitement. You'd look at her up and down. She was in a fluffy, yellow, dress. "YAH LOOK FABULOUS!" You'd yell jumping up and down. "GURL, SO DO YOU! YOU LOOK LIKE A REAL MESSENGER!" you'd scoff. "Please, I am a real messenger."

"Oh, Y/N! How lovely it is to see you!" You'd look up from Peggy and see Angelica, Eliza, and their father. You'd run over and hug Angelica and Eliza. "A week seemed like a year!" You'd yell. Angelica was in a pinkish dress, she looked very mature. Eliza wore a nice light blue dress, which made her absolutely beautiful. "Those dresses look great on you!" You'd chirp, still very excited. "Thank you, Y/N! Your uniform looks very nice on you!" Eliza would say, grabbing your shoulders and looking at you up and down. You'd tip your hat. "Thank you very much, ma'am." You'd look over and see Mr. Schuyler waiting patiently for his daughters with a smile on his face.

You'd walk over to him and smile nervously, but being polite. "Y/N L/N, sir." You'd say tipping your hat and bowing a little. "Official messenger and soldier of General George Washington." He'd chuckle and smile politely. "My, Y/N. Such manners." He'd take your hand and kiss your knuckles. "Phillip Schuyler. I see you've already met my daughters." He'd say smiling and looking over at them. You'd nod. "They're very nice people!" You'd chirp.

"What are you doing down here, anyway, Y/N?" Angelica would ask, tilting her head to the side a bit. "I was helping Thoma- I mean, Mr. Jefferson unpack, since I'd pass here on my way to the barn. I need to fetch my horse." You changed Thomas to Mr. Jefferson, trying to impress. "HORSE? I WANNA SEEEE!" Peggy would yell excitingly, jumping up and down. "You can come with, as long as it's fine with your father." You'd say, looking back at him. Peggy looked at him with a pleading look on her face. "I suppose that's alright." He'd say. You'd all say your goodbyes to Mr. Schuyler, then you, Peggy, Eliza, and Angelica made your way to the barn.
