The day started with Alex and Kathleen having a delightful tea party in their mansion.

The two were discussing and gossiping about various topics, including their own stupidity and dumb struggles. Everything was going well, until something unexpected happened.

Crash! Clink! Clank!

Alex's grip fell loose and her teacup fell onto the floor, porcelain shards everywhere. She followed the teacup and dropped to the floor in an attempt to fix it. Alex looked up at her friend Kath, then back down to survey the mess and the small puddle of tea, which was slowly spreading on the floor.

"What have you done!?" Kathleen gasped, looking down at Alex with fearful and widened eyes.

"I don't know!" Alex exclaimed, still shocked by the incident.

The Dummy Duo™, still stunned, continued to stare blankly at the mess Alex created, tea still spilling slowly.

"It's fine, it's fine! It is just a little mishap after all," She thought to herself. She was about to let it slide but she soon realized something serious. "Oh no! I forgot!" She yelped.

Alex looked to Kath, with fear and dread in her eyes. "What? What is it?"

"I just realized," Kath started, Alex listening closely. "If anyone from England finds out that we broke a teacup. They will kill us."

This right here, is when Alex knew, she messed up.

"Oh shoot!" Alex started to panic. "Whatever shall we do!?"

"I have a solution," Kath looked at Alex, determination in her eyes. "We call the entire flipping cast of Hamilton!"

Alex facepalmed, "Well obviously! Who else would we call? Sksksk..sksksk!" The two briefly cringed at the vsco slang that was just used. Despite that, Kath grabbed her phone from her very large woman's jean pockets and called their number.

420

Brrriiinnnngggg, Brriiinnnnggggg

They heard someone pick up, "Hello?" Alex and Kath knew that voice, it was so familiar! It was the writer of Hamilton, Lin Manuel Miranda.

"Hi!" The Dummy Duo™ responded together in sync.

Lin got closer to the phone and said, "I. Heard. You. Broke. A. Cup."

Alex felt shivers run down her spine. "Haha.." She chuckled nervously. "What kind of cup, exactly?

"A TEA CUP!" Lin answered, sounding aggravated.

The two turned their heads to each other, making eye contact. "He knows!" They mouthed to each other. Creeped out, they immediately hung up the phone, ran, and hid in a closet. They allowed themselves a moment to retain their composure and catch their breath.

After that, Alex mustered up the courage to get out of the closet and check the window. She signaled for Kath to remain in her spot and to keep quiet. She went and peeked out the window. Nobody in sight, they were clear.

Kath, disobeying Alex's strict orders, went to the front door to check the peephole. Alex followed behind.

Kath, being short, went and grabbed a stool. She stood on it and checked through the peephole. "He could be watching us right now." Kath whispered to Alex.

"That is not good," Alex said. "I mean, he is the writer of one of our favourite musicals.. But still! It is still creepy that he knows where we live."

They walked away from the door, assuming they were clear. They were about to head back into the closet.
