I just want to say thank you for the reads. I honestly never thought that this would get over ten reads, and seeing it has over 400 is just wonderful. Thanks for commenting and suggesting ideas.

Madison: It has been over ten days since Dawn has tried to write this.
George W.: Write?
Mulligan: Yeah, she-
*Dawn appears behind Mulligan nd covers his mouth*
Dawn: STOP TRYING TO BREAK THE WALL!
Madison: We shall win this war!
*Mulligan nods violently*
*Dawn takes her hand off his mouth*
Dawn: You wanna test me?
Mulligan: What can you do?
Dawn: I know karate and multiple other words that seem dangerous, like gun, and knife-
Peggy: Stop! Just stop!
Eliza: What are we reacting to, Dawn?
Dawn: Something I'm probably gonna cry about.
Angelica: Why are you making us react to sad things?
Jefferson: She obviously loves to torture us.
Dawn: Accurate. Now let's go.
*Dawn doesn't clap or anything, they just appear*
Alex: Woah, that's new.
Dawn: I know! It is this new update I got! Isn't it cool?
Maria: Very.
John: Are we going to react?
Lafayette: What he said.
*The music starts*
Jefferson: No warning, huh?

[MALE COMPANY]
One two three four
[FULL COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND BURR)]
Five six seven eight nine-
[BURR]
There are ten things you need to know
[COMPANY]
Number one!
[BURR]
We rode across the Hudson at dawn
My friend, William P. Van Ness signed on as my-

Burr: Signed on as my number two? What does that- Oh yeah...
Peggy: What is it?
Burr: Let's just say I'm probably going to die today.

[COMPANY]
Number two!
[BURR]
Hamilton arrived with his crew
Nathaniel Pendleton and a doctor that he knew

Phillip: Who was the doctor?
Dawn(mumbled): The doctor who tried to help you...

[COMPANY]
Number three!
[

BURR]
I watched Hamilton examine the terrain
I wish I could tell you what was happ'ning in his brain
Just apologize, we have worthier pursuits!

John: What would he need to apologize for again? I forgot.
Jefferson: He decided to vote me for president instead of Burr, Burr got angry and called a duel.

[COMPANY]
Most disputes die and no one shoots!
Number four!
[BURR]
Hamilton drew first position
Looking, to the world, like a man on a mission
This is a soldier with a marksman's ability
The doctor turned around so he could have deniability
[COMPANY]
Five!
[BURR]
Now, I didn't know this at the time
But we were-
[BURR]
In the same spot
Your son died, is that why[HAMILTON]
In the same spot
My son died, is that why

Eliza: Alex-
Alex: Let's just listen please.
*Eliza nods, Phillip looks at his father worried*

[COMPANY]
Six!
[

BURR]
He examined his gun with such rigor?
I watched as he methodically fiddled with the trigger
[COMPANY]
Seven!
[BURR]
Confession time? Here's what I got:
My fellow soldiers'll tell you I'm a terrible shot

*John laughs a bit, trying to lighten the mood*
John: You sure are!
Burr: And we are having this talk again apparently.

[COMPANY]
Number eight!
[BURR/HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE MEN]
Your last chance to negotiate
Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight
[BURR]
They won't teach you this in your classes
But look it up, Hamilton was wearing his glasses
Why? If not to take deadly aim?
That's when I realized this was not a game
I had only one thought before the slaughter:
This man will not make an orphan of my daughter

Dawn(mumbled) : Who was married and didn't need help to grow up. On the other hand, Alex had tons of kids.
Madison: What?
Dawn: NOTHING.

[COMPANY]
Number nine!
[BURR]
Look him in the eyes, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then count:
[COMPANY]
One two three four five six seven eight nine
[BURR AND COMPANY]
He aims his pistol at the sky-
[BURR]
Wait!

*Everyone flinches a bit at the yell, then the song continues*
[COMPANY]
Nine eight seven six five
[MALE COMPANY]
Four three two-
[HAMILTON]
One last thought
[COMPANY]
Number one!
[HAMILTON]
Before we got in the boat to cross the Hudson
I stopped to write a note
Actually I wrote-
[HAMILTON AND COMPANY]
Two!
[HAMILTON]
Just in case I didn't make it through
I want the world to know what I intended to do
[COMPANY]
Number three!
[HAMILTON]
If I shoot first, and throw it away
He has to yield, we both get to live another day
I know this puts me in a difficult spot
But I've got to throw away my shot
[COMPANY]
Number four!
[HAMILTON]
I get lucky, I draw first position
I stand facing east as I load my ammunition
The sun is in my eyes, I am almost giddy
As I watch it slowly rise over my New York City
[COMPANY]
Five!
[HAMILTON]
I start to shake when I realize
That we are-
[HAMILTON]
In the same spot
My son died, is that why[BURR]
In the same spot
Your son died, is that why

Eliza: Oh my god...

[COMPANY]
Six!
[HAMILTON]
I examine the gun that we shared?
Philip never hurt a soul, he must've been so scared

Phillip: You used the same gun?
*Alex nods*

[COMPANY]
Seven!
[HAMILTON]
My Eliza is still asleep
I left her a letter, I could've written it better

Angelica: She cried while reading it...

[COMPANY]
Number eight!
[BURR/HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE MEN]
Your last chance to negotiate
Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight

King George: Why though?
Dawn: GOD DANG IT I THOUGH WE WERE FREE OF YOU!
King George: Nope! Gotta put up with me still!
Everyone besides King George and Seabury: God dang it!
*King George sticks his tongue out at everyone*

[HAMILTON]
I put on my glasses, so I can see if Burr is softening
I see him glaring back at me
He's always hated dueling, hated confrontation
I never had his instinct for self-preservation

Jefferson(sarcastic): Oh really? I never noticed.
*Alex glares at him*

I feel a sense of calm fill me
It's not in his political interest to kill me
[COMPANY]
Nine!
[HAMILTON]
My last thought is of Eliza
Maybe I can get back home before she opens her eyes
They put us through our paces, we count to ten
God, I can't wait to see her again

*Eliza starts to cry a bit*

[COMPANY]
One two three four five six seven eight nine
[BURR AND COMPANY]
He aims his pistol at the sky!

Everyone: No!

[BURR]
Wait!

.
.
.
Alex: Wait, that is it?
*Dawn nods*
King George: Well oof.
*They go back to the room*
Dawn: How do you know that word?
Mulligan: He doesn't, you made him say it by writing it in-
Dawn: SHUT UP.
Madison: But-
Dawn: NOPE. GOODBYE. I'M GONNA GO CRY.
Seabury: Cry baby...
Dawn: Shut up Sea Banana!
Seabury: I guess that is sticking.
*Dawn leaves*

Sorry this isn't that good, I was rushing it even though I was telling myself not to. Thanks to killmeomfgplease for the suggestion! Have a good day!
