Eliza POV

     As Peggy's words rung through my head, I gasped. There's no way, never in a million years, will I ever date that bastard with no heart.

Eliza- No. No no no no no no no-

Peggy- Yes yes yes yes yes yes. Don't you see it happening, Angie?

     Angelica looks at me for a few seconds before nodding.

Angelica- Yeah, I can kinda see it.

Peggy- See? You'll look so cute dating him.

Eliza- Peggy, I hate him. No, I despise him! He's so evil!

Peggy- Aw, he's not so bad once you get to know him.

Angelica- Yeah. Believe it or not, he used to be so fun and caring. He'd save anyone that he'd see being harmed without putting a single thought to it.

Eliza- I doubt it. Can we just pick out an outfit. Please? I don't want to be rude, but just... no. I hate that man with all my heart.

     I really don't want to seem mean to them. They did invite me to be apart of their sisterhood when I never really had a real sister. They seemed like actual sisters to me even though we've barely known each other for a day. She sighed as her "sisters" stared at her.

Eliza- I'm sorry... I ruined it, didn't I?

Angelica- No, no. You didn't! We should have respected your feelings more. And by we, I meant Peggy.

Peggy- She's right. I should have been calmer.

Angelica- But in her defense, she freaks out over anyone she thinks would be a good couple.

Peggy- I call them ships!

Eliza- Ships? That's a weird thing to say.

Angelica- I know. I tried telling her that word was stupid, but she refuses to stop.

Peggy- Oh, you're laughing now. But one day, it'll be a huge thing! Just you wait!

~~~~~~~~~

     As I looked in the mirror, I saw a person I never saw before. The girl in front of me wore a white top with small side straps that held it up. The top was tucked into a dark, old looking blue skirt that only went to my ankles. Brown boots covered my feet and the rest of the revealing skin. My hair was put up in a ponytail. Who was this girl? 

     I've never seen her wear something like this before. She only wore huge ball gowns and corsets. Her dresses always suction cupped her waist and she always wore an under skirt that brought her hip length and bottom out a bit. But this dress wasn't tight at all. It didn't frame her body or brought out anything or widened the length. She felt... comfortable. It was strange.

Peggy- Our work here is done. 

Angelica- Damn. We did good.

Peggy- Alexander is going to LOVE this!

     I eyed her through the mirror.

Peggy- Oh. I mean.. You're going to get him to at least not hate your guts!

     We walked out of the room and I immediately felt like a new person. I could finally breathe and I didn't feel like I was suffocating. 

     The crew members stared at me again. Alexander saw me and instantly rolled his eyes. I rolled mine too just to make him more angry. The three men and girl from earlier came up to us. The girl looking pissed, but quickly became happy when she saw Peggy.

Peggy- Hercules! Laf! Laurens! MARIA! Hi!

Maria- H-hey Pegs. What are you doing with her?

Peggy- We chose an outfit for her! Doesn't she look pretty?

     Maria looked angry and a bit jealous as she slowly nodded. It seemed like I only noticed it.

Angelica- Eliza, this is John, Hercules, and Lafayette. Guys, we took her in as a sister. So we're the Schuyler Sisters now.

Hercules- Aww that's so cute! 

John- Nice to meet you, Eliza! 

Lafayette- C'est un plaisir de vous rencontrer!

Eliza- Pareillement! Vous semblez si gentil!

     The French man smiled widely with joy as the others groaned loudly.

Lafayette- You... you understand what I'm saying?!

Eliza- Wi! I'm probably going to be queen one day, so I have to communicate with people from other countries somehow. That includes Spanish, French, German, and Irish

Lafayette- YES! Someone who I can finally speak with in the great language of French!

Maria- If you really want to speak to someone in French, just talk to Alexander. He knows French.

Lafayette- Non! He's scares me.

Peggy- That's understandable.

John- I'm so happy to finally get to talk to you! I tried coming to your room last night to check on you, but the captain threatened me. He does every time I try to even wave at you.

Eliza- I hate him! Why is he so cold-hearted?

     Once I said that, they all looked around, whistling and ignoring everyone else's presence. 

Angelica- Umm... that's probably not the best to talk about now. I don't think we're the right people to talk about that.

     I nodded, knowing that something, or someone, must have changed him. 

Hercules- C'mon! Let's give you a tour of the ship!

     Angelica and Peggy grab both my arms and link them with theirs, them standing on both sides of me. The boys and Maria lead the way. I turn around to the other side of the ship and see Hamilton. He's staring off into space. His face was emotionless. Like he was thinking about something harsh. Maybe he isn't as bad as he seems. 

A/N- I love how it's almost 7:00 here and I haven't even started on my math homework. I'll probably be up until midnight tonight, but I literally don't understand any of it :').
