Bad Things Happen

Party!

A/N: It just occurred to me, I have forgotten about Hercules Mulligan. So I'mma put him in this chapter. Warning: Fights, as usual. Drinking.

Lafayette sat in his room on his bed watching people make baguettes on YouTube. His phone started buzzing. He looked over to see a familiar name.

Lafayette: mon ami où étais-tu, je n'ai pas entendu parler de toi depuis des mois!
Mulligan: you know I don't speak French.
Lafayette: sorry dude. Where have you been?
Mulligan: I've been busy, college is a lot harder than high school, and I got that new apprenticeship thing going on too.
Lafayette: dang man.
Mulligan: Oh that reminds me. I finally got a night off tonight and I'm having a party. I wanted to know if you and Alex wanted to come, I'll even give you each a plus one in case you found a lady friend. 😉 It's mainly for college students but I'll make an exception for you kids.
Lafayette: nope on the lady friend for me, but Alexander did. She's really nice so that's cool. I'm still lonely 🙁
Mulligan: whatever, meet at my house at 9.
Lafayette: Tonight?
Mulligan: of course tonight, everyone's going to have classes on Monday and I'm working tomorrow.
Lafayette: yeah good point, see ya there.

He went downstairs to the kitchen where Alexander and Laurens were eating.

"Guess who's back?" Lafayette asked them.

"Last time I heard that I didn't really like the answer." Alexander joked.

"What if I told you it was Herc?"

"Sweet. You gonna go see him?"

"No, we are. He invited me and you to a party tonight at nine, he even said you could bring Eliza. It starts at nine and Laurens, you're coming as my plus one because I have no girlfriend." Lafayette joked making the other two giggle.

"Alright, I'll give her a call." Alexander turned away from them and dialed her number.

"You'll like Hercules. We were friends my Freshman and Sophomore years, he went to our school, but now he goes to kings college." Lafayette began rambling to the boy he knew would most likely not respond.

"She said that would be nice." Alexander turned back after finishing his call. "We pick her up at 8:30."

Washington came into the kitchen after all the commotion had ended. "What's going on in here?"

"Mulligan is back at it, we're going to a party at his house tonight." Lafayette explained.

"Be sure your back by midnight. Alexander, you have a speech and...." George was interrupted.

"I know, a speech and debate thing where I get to show off in front of Jefferson and Burr. Wouldn't miss it for the world." He laughed.

Later that night they all got ready for the party. They left to pick up Eliza and headed straight for Mulligan's house.
When they arrived they saw a bunch of cars, and even more people. They walked up inside and were greeted by Hercules.

"Lafayette, my favorite Frenchman." He joked. "Nice to see you again Alex."
Hercules had always called Alexander Alex, even though he prefers his full name. He never cared.

"And who is this lovely lady?" Herc asked kissing Eliza's hand.

"This is my lovely lady." Alexander said pulling her hand back and holding it in his.

"Elizabeth Schuyler. But everyone calls me Eliza." She smiled.

"Right, you go to school with these two idiots. And you are?" He asked Laurens.
