Chapter 1: (1554 words)
"Where's Marinette?" asked Alya, looking around the other two.
"Here! I'm here!" called the very girl that they were looking for. She was on the other side of the entrance of their school, though she was sprinting towards them. "Do you know who Alexander Hamilton was?"
The other three were surprised at the lack of stuttering but they assumed that it was because she was tired of running over to them. Automatically, Adrien responded, "He was a founding father of the United States if America, and the first Secretary of Treasury. There's some other stuff but I can't be bothered to say it all now, there's a lot."
She just waves a hand at him, clearly in a rush, "It doesn't matter, that's enough. Have you heard of the musical?" All three of the friends' eyes widened in shock. She was speaking to Adrien, and she wasn't stuttering, at all!
"Err, yeah? Hamilton, right?" Nino asked, unsure of himself. She just nodded very enthusiastically.
"Do you know the words to the songs?" she rushed out in one breath, her large blue eyes hopeful and expecting. The three others nodded simultaneously, and she squealed with happiness.
"Why did yo- "
"Follow me! Quick!"
This was all very mysterious, thought the three friends as their fourth friend dragged them throughout the school building until they reached a large theatre, with such a large number of seats that you could only fill them with twice as many people as there were in the school. There was a rather a lot of people up on the stage, though they weren't acting or anything, they were just sitting on random stools that they found and they were talking about something.
"Hey everyone!" Marinette announced the second she stepped inside the room. They all waved at here, with multiple shouts of greeting. All except for… Chloe?!
"Uhh, Mari? Why is Chloe here with all of these people? I have never seen any of them before," Alya asked Marinette as the four teenagers walked down the centre of the room to the stage, and they all got on the stage.
"Hush now, I'll tell you all in a second. You'll see," the black-haired girl assured them with a smile as she stood up on one of the stools, the tallest one, since she was rather short compared to most of the people there.
She coughed, clearing her throat and silencing the group of people there at the same time, "So, I haven't really told most of you why I all called you here, and you don't have to do this if you want, but it would really mean a lot to me and it could be a lot of fun too!"
The majority of them nodded at her words, other than Chloe who just huffed and crossed her arms. "Soooooo, I've been thinking that we could all sing Hamilton!" Marinette announced with glee and delight.
There were cheers of excitement and surprise. "That's a wonderful idea, Eliza!" praised a teenager about their age (all of the people were), he was black, and was almost bald, and he looked kind of like a doppelganger of Leslie Odom Jr. as a teenager, with some differences.
"Thanks, Noah! Or should I say: Burr!" Marinette replied cheerfully.
Nino raised an eyebrow, "Eliza? Burr?"
Marinette just waved a hand in his direction, "She's my favourite person to sing as, and apparently I have her personality, and am as precious and cinnamon roll-y as her," she mono-toned, glaring playfully at Noah. "And he always sings as Burr."
Noah nodded, and another boy walked up to Marinette, "How will we decide who gets to sing what?"
"Everyone has a perfect role! And if more than one person fits that roll, then one will have to either play a different role or sing as the company or ensemble," Marinette explained confidently. The boy, who had the curls of Anthony Ramos, and had similar skin tone, nodded at her words. "Anything else, Benjamin?"
"Well, could I be Laurens and Phillip?" he pleaded, trying to use his puppy-dog eyes.
"Of course you can!" she assured him while getting off of the tall stool, "How could you not? You look exactly like him!"
He blushed brightly, and it went from the tips of his ears to all the way down his neck, "Not really, just a little."
Marinette nodded and gave him a hug. Once she released him from it, she told everyone loudly, "Come here tomorrow morning and we'll deal with who will be who! Make sure to think about it properly!"
There were shouts of agreement and the shuffling of many feet and stools moving at once. Most people covered their ears and cringed, though they kept moving. Eventually, it was only Marinette, Alya, Nino, Adrien, and Chloe left in the entire room.
Nino, Adrien and Alya looked at each other and raised an eyebrow at the blonde, though Marinette walked over to her kindly, proving her 'Eliza personality'. "Do you need something, Chloe?"
The spoiled blonde nodded silently, her eyes big and hopeful.
"What is it?"
Chloe took a deep breath and asked in the nicest way possible (well, as nice as she can), "Could I be Angelica?"
Marinette smiled sweetly at her, and nodded kindly, "You were the only girl here, other than me, Alya, Zoey, Brooke, and Adelynn. Zoey'll probably want to be Maria, since she can hit those high notes, and Brooke and Adelynn will just want to be a part of the ensemble; they love back up parts and dancing. Also, I doubt that Alya'd want to wear pink." Alya scoffed from where she was standing next to the two other boys. Chloe nodded, though the four friends could tell that she was this close (A/N: *squishes two fingers together to show how close it was*.) to squealing with how delighted she was. She waved when walking away, though she was still 'Chloe' enough to sashay out of the room. After that, it was just Marinette and the three others. "You have friends other than us?" Nino asked mischievously.
Marinette mock-glared and swatted at him. "I've always had friends other then you, no need to be so jealous," she smirked at him. The three others rolled their eyes, and Marinette asked them who they wanted to play as when they would sing, or if they wanted to play anyone at all.
"Well, I, of course, will be Peggy. I don't have much of a choice, will I?" Alya smirked and raised an eyebrow. Marinette nodded pulled out a pencil from behind and ear and unrolled a sheet of paper that she had rolled around the pencil, and she wrote down who Alya would play as. Always better to be prepared, being Ladybug had taught her that much.
"And you, Nino?" Marinette asked politely, though with a healthy dose of curiosity. Alya and Adrien stood next to her, looking at the short boy with interest.
"Hmm, I think I would make a pretty good Washington, don't you think?" he asked confidently, though the three other friends could still see some fear in his eyes. Marinette nodded kindly and assured him that he would be wonderful in that role, and she wrote that down too.
"Hey, bro? What about you?" Nino asked Adrien while Marinette was busy writing.
"Well, I've always wanted to be Hamilton. He was super smart, and he lost his mom too…" he mumbled the last bit, and Marinette stopped writing when she realised that she would be marrying Adrien. Adrien! It was true that he was going to cheat on her and all, but Zoey was going to play as Maria and she had a massive crush on Brooke, so Marinette was sure that she wasn't going to do anything, so really it doesn't matter. And they were going to sing a love song together! She quickly wrote his choice down before the others realised that she had stopped writing, although a bright blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Okay, that's fine. Don't forget to come tomorrow morning!" Marinette called as she ran out of the room.
That only left the three friends.
"What just happened?" Nino asked as if coming out of a daze. The bell suddenly rang, and they all sighed.
"How does Mari always know when the bell is going to ring?" Alya moaned. "She's the one that's always late, but she still always knows!
Nino patted her back comfortingly as they walked to their first class of the day, already excited for the following morning.
Adrien grinned, "Hey, we just have to wait for it!" Alya and Nino stopped walked and glared at Adrien, and it didn't seem so playful. "Whaaaaaaat?"
"You punned," Alya stated. "You punned and I wasn't expecting that."
Nino nodded at her very true words. "Hey, if you start punning all the time now, you're going to get punched, if not by me, then by Marinette. Or should I now say Eliza, your future wife."
Adrien blushed as Alya and Nino laughed like lunatics. Yes, they were all excited for the following morning, some more than others, thought Marinette as she sat in her usual chair and gazed at Adrien, wondering what it'll be like to sing with him.
'Oh, I just can't wait for tomorrow.'
A/N: Yay! New story, and it's not a one-shot. I have a feeling that it's going to be a long one, too. Especially since there's forty-six songs in the musical, and I want to include the cut songs too.
Anyways, not much happened this chapter except for Marinette telling everyone about her rather wonderful idea and meeting some new people.
Yes, there will be OCs, but there won't be any drama with romance or anything (unless you want there to be! ;D), other than Daveed Diggs' doppelganger and Okieriete Onaodowan's doppelganger dating, since I totally ship Lafayette and Mulligan, and a little bit of Jefferson and Madison on the side sometimes. Also, Zoey having that crush on Brooke. They're just random OCs, don't you worry.
Also, whenever I hear the Hamilton soundtrack recently, I've just been picturing the people in Miraculous Ladybug instead of the actual people the story is about. Also, in Say No to This, I picture Maria as Marinette, especially the red and all. Marinette in my head is also Eliza though, and Jefferson for some reason, but Daveed Diggs' doppelganger will sing as him in this version. Though, it would be unusual to see Hamilton but where Jefferson is actually Eliza in disguise. Wow, I take that back, that's really weird.
I just got Zoey to be Maria 'cause that's really confusing, just excuse me. XD If you're confused about who's going to be who, here you go:
