Chapter Text
In the alternative version of the Caribbean, a mysterious and unforgiving woman dropped a baby in a forgotten spot who, unbeknownst to her, grows up to be a scholar and a hero to all.
Over to the original version, a mysterious boy with unmarried parents, is being dropped in a forgotten spot, living in Providence, impoverished in squalor, who, unbeknownst to him, grows up to be a hero and a scholar to all.
The ten dollar, founding father without a father (AV: Alexandra's father stayed with her along with her mother until his untimely death), got a lot farther by working a lot harder by being a lot smarter by being a self-starter by 14...when they placed him in charge of a trading charter...
Over to the alternate version, Alexandra, too, became a lot smarter, working harder, and being a self-starter at 14...but she dislikes being placed in charge of a trading charter.
Back to the original, while the slaves were being slaughtered and carted away; across the waves, Alexander struggled to keep his guard up. Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of--the brother whose ready to steal, beg, borrow, or barter (Alexandra longs for the same, but unlike her counterpart, she never steals, begs, borrows, or barters in any way).
Suddenly, a hurricane came towards both Alexandra & Alexander; devastation reigned and the two saw their futures drip, dripping down the drain! They put the pencils to their temples, connected them to their brains...and they wrote their first refrain-a testament to their pain!
The word went around the two dimensions, saying that these two are insane--as they take up a collection just to send them to the mainland. They want to get an education, never forgetting from whence they came...and the world's gonna know their names!
What're your names, guys?
Alexander & Alexandra Hamilton...our names are Alexander & Alexandra Hamilton. And there's a million things we haven't done...
But just you wait...Just you wait...!
Not all days were that good for the Hamilton duet: At 10 years old, Alexander's father split from him and his mother, 2 years later, both him and his mother were bedridden, nearly half-dead...sitting in their own sick, the scent thick (Alexandra's mother had split from her and her father at the same time; both her and her father are bedridden, sitting in their own sick, the scent thick)...
...and Alex got better, but his mother went quick! (Alexandra's father fell ill when she got better)
When all of a sudden, both of them have one in common: To be the most recognized and remembered in all of New York!
The two have a similar past: Alexander with his cousin, committed suicide after moving in with him; had his pride totally ruined...until a voice had told him:"Alex, You gotta fend for yourself!" as he started retreating and reading every treatise that's on the shelf. For Alexandra, hers is a bit different than his: Her cousin welcomed her with open arms as she keeps her pride intact and prepares to read every treatise on the shelf, trying to fend only for herself.
There isn't left for them to do, for the two to be less astute, they would've been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution as they started working, clerking for their late mother's landlord (Alexandra works for her late father's landlady in the AV), traded them sugarcane and rum and all the things they can't afford
In Alexandra's version, she started scanning for every book that she can get her hands on; in the original, Alexander scams for every book that he can get his hands on.
Planning for the future, see them now as they stand on the bow of a ship, heading for a new land--in New York, they can be the new duet!!
Just you wait
Just you wait...
In New York...
New York...
JUST YOU WAIT...
As they headed straight to the new land called New York, both Alexander and Alexandra have dreams that can be made into reality. Alexandra's dream: to be the first female president, treasury secretary, and an all-time heroine to America; for Alexander, his is to be the same as his counterpart; but once they made into New York City, they have to face their enemies, especially with their frenemies, Aaron and Anna Burr, King George(Queen Georgina in the AV), and Thomas (Thomasina) Jefferson.
They think they destroyed their rep that America had forgotten about them...
They fought with them.
For them, they died for them.
For them, they trusted them.
For them, they loved them.
And for them...They're the damn fools that shot 'em!"
And there's a million things they haven't done...but just you wait...!
And their names are:
Alexander & Alexandra Hamilton!!
The two turned around, walking through New York City with ambition, dreams, and a legacy to be known throughout America. When the two met, their lives are changed forever with just a greeting to each other and a curious look on their face.
Hi!...you're new here.
said Alexander.
Same as you...you're heading somewhere?
Alexandra replied.
I'm headin' to the bar to get a drink. You?
No thanks, but I would like to meet up with someone.
Who?
No clue...probably an old friend of mine that I'm willing to see.
Me too! That means we got old friends to meet too!
Alexander and Alexandra walked through the city when, all of a sudden...they went by a person in their lives who just happen to be: Aaron and Anna Burr!!
