Hamilton in Five Minutes

"Wait, so it's what?" Avi asked, setting his script packet down. Pentatonix was filming a Hamilton in Five Minutes video. Everyone playing a few different characters, except for Avi, who would be portraying Hamilton himself.

"It's, "and I remember my Eliza's-" turn to Eliza--" Scott turned around. "Wait, where is Eliza?" The two men searched around the stage for Kirstie.

"I'll go find her." Avi said, before running into the stage left wings. Sure enough, a bit deeper into the wings, there she was, in her green dress, with a jacket over top of it. She was sitting, leaning her head against the wall, asleep.

She must've fallen asleep on lunch. Avi thought as he sat beside her and wrapped his arms around her. "Shh, shh, it's just me, Avi. You can go back to sleep." He whispered when she suddenly awoke to his arms touching her waist, and started to panic.

"Filming yet?" Kirstie almost drunkenly whispered as she dozed back off.

"Nope. Scott was just reviewing some blocks with me. We have about five minutes." Avi kissed her forehead. "Forgot to ask, how was Kinky Boots last night? You pretty much crashed in the car right after."

"It was good." Kirstie whispered once again. "A bit of a tough crowd to please, but good." Avi snickered at that and pulled his girl closer to him. "You're going to have to let me up." She laughed and lifted her head from his shoulder. She stood right after and unzipped the jacket from over her dress.

"Oh, by the way, did they teach you how to dip the glasses?" Avi asked, remembering something Scott had asked him to ask Kirstie.

"Do what?"

"Okay, so right before the finale, before the jump cut, you know how you set the mugs to cheers as a cast when the last "Alexander Hamilton" we sing ends?" Avi asked.

"Yep." Kirstie nodded.

"Well, Kevin being the genius he is, showed the techies how to dip the glasses into water and freeze them so that they look frosted, like beer mugs or whatever. Anyway, can you help them do that in between your scenes? Because I know you have a minute between Yorktown and whatever scene is next, I'm tired." Avi chuckled.

"Yeah, totally. I got it."

"You're amazing!" Avi kissed her lips and turned back to set, where some techies were calling him and Kevin over.

"You're more amazing!" She called back.

"That's a lie!" Avi called, his back facing her as he descended into the wings and back to stage. Kirstie laughed to herself and found her way to where the techies were so she could inform them that she'd be helping them.

"Alright, five minutes until first shot! Five minutes!" Esther called. Kirstie ran to her wing in prep for the shot, singing a quick scale or two as a fast warmup right before she went on. "Lights, camera, action!" Esther called, soon after.

Five minutes, yeah right. Kirstie thought.

"...Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?" Kirstie listened as Scott sang, then Mitch and Kevin joining in. She took a deep breath as she came on for her entrance. The five minutes kept going, but all heck broke loose when one of the dipped glasses shattered because Mitch dropped it at the end. Everyone started freaking out, trying to get the glass cleaned up, but then everyone else was silenced by a shriek from Scott.

"My God, what happened?" Esther turned to him.

"You tell me, I looked down and my whole arm was bleeding! I don't know!" He gasped for a moment. "Dear Lord, this hurts." He muttered under his breath.

Esther ushered him off set, and Kirstie and Avi kept cleaning up the glass by hand, while the crew, Mitch, and Kevin went to go get brooms and dustpans.

"Don't cut yourself, there, Darling." Avi said, setting another shard in his palm.

"I won't." Kirstie laughed.

Esther came running back on set minutes later. "Kirstie! Painkillers and a towel, do you have them?"

"Painkillers, yes. Third drawer down in my dressing room. Towel, no. Sorry." Kirstie turned to the other girl.

"Avriel, do you have a towel?"

"Probably...? You can check my room."

Esther inhaled sharply, then sighed. "Okay, thanks." She ran off to the dressing rooms soon after.

"Okay, guys, let's do this thing." Scott came back, twenty minutes later, swaying slightly as he stood.

"Woah." Avi and Kirstie put their weight against him as he started to fall. "You good?"

Esther and Mitch came up behind them. "He's a on a bit of an Advil high. Esther had to pull a huge shard of glass from his shoulder. I feel so bad."

"Don't, it was an accident." Kirstie said. Mitch nodded.

"So, are we shooting this thing or not?" A techie called. After a talk, they decided to wait until tomorrow to shoot, so Scott can relax a bit.

"Okay, that's a wrap!" Kirstie called out.

"That's a wrap."

A/N: That's a wrap on this one. Sorry it is short and trash, but based on a real project I'm in! ❤
