It had been a month since the her last mission; the one that had almost ended with her death. She wasn't scared to do her job but every time she she mentioned anything about leaving the boys and getting back to work they threw her some reason why she had to stay.

Their latest reason, the winter ball. She had told them she didn't even like dances but the begged her to stay long enough to go to the ball. She rolled her eyes but, after a long discussion, agreed. She did not want to go however. What she wanted as to get back to doing her job and helping the army as soon as possible. They barely made it out of the British grasp last time they planned an attack.

She looked down at the elegant dress now a donning her body. The corset she wore was slightly too tight but she was able to over look it. She eyes the elegant lace patterns that fell over the (F/C) color silk of the dress. She looked in the mirror and held back her frown. The girl looking back at her was not her. She was beautiful and clean. Not messy and covered in dirt and filth. She looked like a lady, not a soldier. She wasn't sure if she liked the feeling her new look left in the pit of her stomach or not.

Someone knocked sharply at her door three times. "(Y/N), the carriage is here." She heard Burr say from the other side of the wooden barrier. She bit her lip and took one last look at the woman in front of her.

She wanted to rip off her dress but stopped herself. She just needed to survive the Winter Ball and then she could return to work. One night. She only needed to wear this one night.

She walked to the door and opened the handle. She came face to face with Aaron. He looked her up and down and his eyes widened. "I... um..." He started with a dumbfounded expression. His eyes trailed up her dress and landed on her face staring back at him. He shook his head as if to clear it and smiled at her. "You clean up pretty nice, (L/N)." He told her.

"I could say the same about you, Burr." She smiled back. He stepped aside to let her walk out of the room. The two made it outside and met the rest of the squad sitting outside the carriage, impatiently waiting.

"There you are! We've been waiting for..." Hamilton said but stopped himself when he saw them. (Y/N) looked at the four men staring at her. She noticed they were all relatively handsome when they were cleaned up and not running for their lives. She smiled at them. "Sorry, I couldn't decide if I could wear this stupid thing all night." She looked down at the dress.

"I can help with that." Hercules muttered to himself but she still heard him. She snorted and walked to the carriage. "I'm your dreams, Mulligan." She told him with a smirk as she passed him. Lafayette offered her a hand to help her into the carriage and she took it. "Thanks." She told him as she hosted herself up.

The six of them road down the bumpy road in the cramped carriage. She was sandwiched in between Laurens and Lafayette as the two shifted uncontrollably in their seats. She looked at the other three sitting along the other side of the carriage. There was silence for a while until (Y/N) broke it. "I heard the Schuyler sister are going to be there." She told them.

Burr nodded. "If you can marry a sister, your rich." He told them. Alex smirked from his spot in between Hurc and Burr. "Is it a question of if Burr or which one?" He asked. Everyone chuckled in response.

"You'd be lucky if the Schuyler's so much as looked at you Ham." (Y/N) told him. "They probably have a stick stuck so far up there asses they wouldn't dare talk to the likes of us." She said. They men nodded in agreement.

"Not to be a downer but they probably want a rich suitor with assurance of an easy, white picket fence life." Laurens told Hamilton who's face fell a bit. (Y/N) felt bad for putting him down, she smiled at him. "But you never know." She told him. "You may just charm your way to their hand in marriage." She winked at him. He gave her a small smile and the carriage slowly pulled to a stopped.
