Satisfied: Lafayette Version
Tonight is the night where Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler were bound to be married. This symbolizes them becoming as one in order to live the perfect lives as husband and wife, though one specific French male didn't want to go to the wedding. But he couldn't let the man, who he called his brother down. Marquis de Lafayette is the groom best man since he deserves the title since he did get Alexander and Eliza together. Laurens was previously the best man but the Southern male decided to give to Lafayette. Though he's the reason why he has gotten those together since Lafayette is desperately in love with Eliza Schuyler though he ever admitted to anyone but himself. The only people that know about this are Mulligan and Peggy since the French soldier kinda made it obvious at some point while talking to her.
Nevertheless, everyone was cheering and congratulated Alexander and Eliza for their marriage to live a happy life. Peggy and Lafayette laughed around for a bit while listening to Angelica Schuyler, Eliza maid of honor speech. Though knowingly that Lafayette is almost up to present his speech since Mulligan and Laurens both thought it would be nice for the best man to give a speech. Lafayette almost backed down since he himself thought that he didn't have the guts to face the bride who agrees to marry his brother. Soon Peggy dragged the French immigrant onto the stage while being her usual cheery self.
"Alright, alright! That's what I'm about talking about" Peggy shouted only to receive laughter from the fellow guests along with the bride and groom. Lafayette manages to release a laugh as well since Peggy manages to be her goofy self that causes everybody to laughed and brighten up their day. Soon the youngest sister continue to speak "Now everyone gives it up for the groom best man, Marquis de Lafayette!". Everybody cheer as Peggy pushed the French male in front of the stage before raising a glass of champagne in the air.
Lafayette:
A toast to the groom
(To the groom, to the groom)
To the bride
(To the bride, to the bride)
From your brother
(Lafayette, Lafayette)
Who is always by your side
(By your side, by your side)
To Your Union!
(To your union!
To the revolution!)
And the hope you provide
(Provide, Provide)
May you always ...
(Always)
Be Satisfied
(Satisfied, Satisfied)
Rewind!
Lafayette eyes soon began to widen in shock as his mind went blank for a moment. The French male began having a flashback to the night where Lafayette has fallen in love with Elizabeth Schuyler but given her up to Alexander. The young French immigrant mind began going into a deep pitch black as Lafayette was finally reliving the moment at the winter ball in the year of 1780. Lafayette saw himself for a moment before starting to live the moment where he remembers all the scenery of the ballroom. Everybody kept on laughing and drinking hard around the dance floor.
Rewind, rewind
Helpless,
skies, sky's
Drowning' in 'em
Drowning',
Rewind!
I remember that night, I just might (rewind)
I remember that night, I just might (rewind)
I remember that night, I just might
The French immigrant began crying on the inside in pain of heartbreak since his best friend, his own brother has married the love of his life. The same women that Lafayette has fallen in love with during the night of the winter ball. Lafayette never once fell in love before until meeting Eliza for the first time where she warmed his heart up. Even though they spoke for a moment as they dance around on the dance floor which surprises the French immigrant since he can't dance for shit. Soon the French male began to relive the beginning of the winter ball of 1780.
I remember that night, I just might
Regret the at night
For the rest of my days
I remember those ladies
Tripping over themselves to win our praises
I remember dreamlike candlelight
Like a dream, you can't quite place
But Eliza, I'll never forget
For the first time, I saw your face
I have never been the same
Fragile eyes in an Angel frame face
And you said "Hi"
I forgot my damn name
Set to my flames, every part of aflame
This is not a game!
Lafayette's heart cracks once again before reliving the moment when he first met Eliza. His heart suddenly skips a beat or two as the young lady gently bows before her. The noble women somehow lead the French immigrant onto the dancefloor which causes Lafayette to tremble lightly. Though by a miracle Lafayette didn't manage to step on Eliza's foot or so. Along with the fact he didn't fell down face first onto the ground which is a surprise since Lafayette couldn't dance and the whole Hamilsquad knew about it. Alexander and the other were surprises that he was actually dancing as if he knew how to for his entire life.
Eliza softly smiles at the French immigrant while flushing lightly as she and Lafayette dance across the ballroom. Soon the young women began to spoke "You strike me, as a man who never is satisfied". Lafayette rolls his eyes in fake annoyance before responding her with his deep voice that revealed his French accent "I'm sure, I don't know what you mean. You forget yourself". The French male replied with somewhat annoyances but that what triggers Eliza into knowing Lafayette even more.
"You're like me, I'm never satisfied," Eliza said while flushing lightly either to herself or either because of how close she and Lafayette were on the dance floor.
"Is that right?" Lafayette replied question
"I've never been satisfied"
Both of them flush lightly but mostly Lafayette, who was nearly red across the face while Eliza's cheeks flush lightly. Lafayette felt his heart pounding his chest increasingly as finish the dance with everybody began clapping since they did a wonderful dance routine. Lafayette and Eliza gave each other a light bowed before Lafayette kiss the back of Eliza like a proper gentleman.
"My name is Marquis de Lafayette" Lafayette presented himself
"Elizabeth Schuyler" the women replied while giving the French immigrant a soft smile on her face as Lafayette kissed your hand
"Where your family from?"
"Unimportant, but there are millions I haven't done. But just you wait. Just you wait"
Eliza soon returns back with her two other sisters with a smile on her face as she and the two other sisters began laughing around the ballroom. Lafayette his heart began skipping a beat or two while happiness was spreading across his chest. His face was flush brightly that Mulligan began noticing that the French male has fallen in love with one of the Schuyler sisters which surprise him since Lafayette is a shy fellow. It amazes him that Lafayette manages to dance in the ballroom without humiliating himself. Especially in front of an entire crowd.
Giving the French immigrant a teasing smirk on his face in which Lafayette ignored before tugging his hair a bit. Inside his mind, Lafayette was just fanboying and dancing around with pure happiness. He never felt these emotions before in his entire life but Lafayette gave Eliza the benefit of the doubt. Lafayette couldn't shake these wonderful emotions off from his chest.
So, so, so...So this is what feels like to match with
With someone at your level!
What the hell is the catch!
It's the feeling of freedom, of seeing' the light
It's Ben Franklin with a key and a kite!
You see it, right?
The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes
Ev'rything we said in total agreement, it's
A dream and it's a bit of a dance
A bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stance
She's a bit of a flirt, but I'm giving it a chance
Lafayette smiles happily while staring at Eliza who was giggling and sharing a conversation with a few other noble women. The young women and the French immigrant met eyes once again as Eliza politely wave at Lafayette, who wave back as well in order to be respectful. Lafayette sighs happily as hearts filled his eyes which Laurens and Mulligan could easily tell that the French soldier has fallen hard for Eliza Schuyler.
I asked about her family, did you see her answer?
Her hands started fidgeting, she looked annoyed?
She's loaned, she's flying by the stitch of her dress
An Angel, girl, does she know it!
High heels, even though she short!
I wanna take her far away from this place
Then I turn and see my brother's face and he is…
Lafayette suddenly snaps out of his daydreaming world as he's beginning to reliving the moment when seeing Alexander blushing madly and looked helpless for once. The French immigrant heart suddenly crack knowingly why Alexander looked like a quiet shy child. The young Caribbean immigrant was suddenly beginning crushing on Elizabeth Schuyler, the same woman whom Lafayette dance with. The French male heart skips a bit before cracking into pieces.
Alexander:
Helpless
Lafayette:
And I know he is...
Alexander:
Helpless
Lafayette:
And his eyes are just
Alexander:
Helpless
Lafayette:
And I realize
Three fundamental truths at the exact same time...
Alexander suddenly pulled all from his friends beside before whispering into their ears, "She the one" while blushing. Lafayette's heartbreak once again after confirming that Alexander has fallen for Elizabeth Schuyler. Tears wanted to stream down Lafayette but instead, he kept a strongly willed face looking happy for his best friend in which he basically counted as his brother. Giving Alexander a fake teasing smile on his face in which Mulligan nor Laurens didn't notice. Lafayette walked toward to Eliza who was still talking with the other noble women. Alexander began to grow nervously when noticing that Lafayette was walking toward Eliza.
Lafayette apologizes for disturbing the noble ladies conversation but they didn't mind one bit since he was a handsome gentleman. Eliza smile at the French immigrant before wrapping her arms around Lafayette muscular one as he leads them away from the group. Many of the women were complete jealous as they assume that Eliza was gonna get lucky tonight with Lafayette at a private place. Though Lafayette and Eliza ignore them as they walked from the conservation the Eliza was happy to escape from.
"Where you're taking me?" Eliza asks curiously
"I'm about to change your life," Lafayette said in a teasing voice where he eyed at Alexander in which Eliza blush when she saw him. The young noblewomen felt her heart increasing whenever she locks eyes on the Caribbean man, her heart went boom! Can't believe that'll be the night where Eliza will finally be able having a conversation with the man that captured her heart. Alexander and Eliza both locked eyes at each other before looking away as they blush furiously on their faces. Mulligan began sneaking quietly as Laurens gave the Caribbean immigrant a teasing smirk.
"Then, by all means, lead the way" Eliza replied with a smile on her face
Lafayette:
Number one!
I'm a man in a world in which
My only job is to marry rich
My father has no other sons so I'm the one
Who has to social climb for one
Cause I'm an orphan and the wittiest and the gossip in
Paris is insidious
And Elizabeth isn't French
Ha! That doesn't mean I want her any less
Soon Lafayette presents Eliza right before to Alexander as they smile at each other while blushing which nearly brought Mulligan and Lauren to burst out laughing. Lafayette shoo the two idiots away before they could make a scene that could embarrass Alex and Eliza.
"Alexander Hamilton, It's a pleasure to meet you" Alexander presented himself in front of the young lady who giggles lightly. Eliza properly bowed to the male Caribbean with a beautiful smile that Lafayette grown to love in such a short time.
"Hamilton?" Eliza asks
"Washington right-hand man" Lafayette replied as Eliza and Alexander began to act shyly with each other.
Lafayette:
Number two!
She's after me 'cause I'm a Washington right man
That elevates her status,
I'd have to be naïve to set that aside
Maybe that is why I introduce her to Alex
Now she's his bride
Nice going, Lafayette, she was right
You will never be satisfied
Alexander:
Thank you for joining us
Eliza:
If tonight let us become one then so let it be
Eliza is known to be a very bold woman within the neighborhood of New York City, where she herself press her lips on Alexander's cheek. The young Caribbean immigrant face grew brightly red as he felt Eliza kissing him on the cheek, Alexander's face became cherry red as he felt the heat of his entire body when from head to toes. Mulligan and Laurens's jaws dropped in shock. Lafayette's heart crack a bit when witnessing this interaction between Eliza and Alexander. Pretending to be happy for the upcoming newly couples as Lafayette walked away before gently patting his brother on the back.
Lafayette:
I'll leave you two at it
Number three!
I know my brother like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as reckless or as kind
If I tell him that I love her, he'd be silently resigned
She'd be mine
He would say, "I'm fine."
He'd be lying!
It was true since Lafayette knew how sensitive and shy Alexander was with the ladies despite being fairly overconfident and outspoken. Though Alexander couldn't bring himself to utter a word around with the ladies. He kept his distance in order to prevent himself from the humiliation. Lafayette could obviously tell that Alexander was smitten to Eliza not because of her charming beauty but because of her kind-hearted personality. The French immigrant didn't want to be the reason to take Alexander happiness away from him beside it would cost his own happiness. Lafayette imagines himself being married to Eliza instead while having kids of his own but that suddenly vanish. He knew that Hamilton and Eliza deserve each other.
There are nights where Lafayette would often cry himself to because of the pain having a broken heart. He would cry in silent as the tears were soaked the fabric of his pillow. Martha and George notice it but never really ask Lafayette why he was crying until noticing how happy Alexander and Eliza are happy to be together as a couple before being married as husband and wife.
Lafayette:
But when I fantasize at night
It Eliza's eyes
As I romanticize what might
Have been if I hadn't sized
Her up so quickly
At least my dear Eliza's his wife;
At least I keep her eyes in my life…
Soon Lafayette was brought back to the present where he stood on stage in front of everybody. Though happy to be brought back to the present but still heartbroken. Though he couldn't let himself ruin his brother the most wonderful night of his marriage. Raising a glass in the air of champagne letting a few tears stream down his face. Most people assume that those were tears of joy but instead were tears of pain that were streaming down Lafayette's face. Eliza looked at Lafayette with a loving smile on her face before mouthing "Thank you" to the French immigrant.
Lafayette:
To the groom
(To the groom, to the groom)
To the bride
(To the bride, to the bride)
From your brother
(Lafayette, Lafayette)
Who is always by your side
(By your side, by your side)
To Your Union!
(To your union!
To the revolution!)
And the hope you provide
(Provide, Provide)
May you always
(Always)
Be Satisfied
(Satisfied, Satisfied)
Lafayette hugged Alexander tightly in his arms while wiping his tears away. The French immigrant playfully messes with the Caribbean hair who playfully push him off. The two immigrant continue to act like little kids for a moment until Alexander and Eliza were on the dance floor as they kiss each other passionately. Lafayette wipes the tears once again before looking away.
Lafayette:
And I know
Alex will be happy
With his bride
And I know
She'll never be satisfied
I'll never be satisfied
