"WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" I woke up to Lin shaking me awake, "WE'RE GOING TO DC!!" I rolled over, confused.

"It's 9 in the morning." I noted sitting up in bed.

"Yeah!"

"I thought we were leaving at 4?" I rubbed my eyes.

"We are! I'm just excited! Also, V and I are going out, we were wondering if you could babysit?"

"Oh! Yeah, of course!"

"Awesome! So, you know where his trains are, but I've hidden a giant bag of raisins on the top shelf of the cabinet over the stove. Use with caution." I laughed a little at that. I pulled myself out of bed. "Have a good day! We'll be back by 3:00."

"Alright, have fun!" He left my room and I changed from my pajama pants into sweatpants, I wasn't going anywhere for 7 hours, and even then, I'm getting on a bus, and going to Virginia.

So yeah, I played with Sebastian all day, he's cute. Lin and Vanessa usually went out on Sundays, they have very different work schedules, so Sundays kind of served as their date day. I would probably end up babysitting most Sundays, although, I am not complaining at all, its fun.

Now for all of you who don't know, Sebastian has a very strong adoration for raisins, it was kind of adorable, he was a cutie. Also, apparently, he wanted to play piano. You see, this is how he woke up this morning. I was trying to work out my parody song for when my class went to see Hamilton, so I was playing through Always Starting Over  from the last show that was at the Rodgers, If/Then. When Sebastian came running in the room, and started helping. He eventually gave up on the grand, and went to the baby grand, no, literally, its a grand piano for a baby. Love

The day progressed nicely, babysitting is a pretty easy gig, and I enjoyed it, but I was quite excited when they got home. I changed out of my sweatpants and over-sized t-shirt, and into jeans and a regular sized t-shirt, hey, I was still just getting on a bus and going to a hotel.

"Hurry up!" Lin yelled into my room, I was getting my bag, "I want to go!"

"I'm coming!" I called back, coming out of my room.

"Yay! Lets go!" He stood up, he had his bag already, "Bye! I'll miss you!" He kissed Vanessa, and then ushered me out the door, "lets go lets go lets go!" I was laughing so hard.

"Bye! Have fun!" Vanessa called to us.

"Bye!" I yelled back

"TO THE PRESIDENT!" I have concluded that Lin was either drunk or far too excited about the prospect of meeting Obama for like, the 4th time.

He drove the 2 of us to the Rodgers, where there was already a bus, and pretty much everybody getting on it. I'm gonna be honest, this was pretty cool.

I took a seat on the bus, and was quite proud of myself, I brought a pillow, and a phone charger, and this was one of those buses that had outlets. 5 hours on a bus is not that bad when you have several movies downloaded on your phone.

Eventually the entire cast loaded themselves onto the bus, there was a lot of loud talking, a lot of loud rapping. They are a loud bunch.

"LETS GO!"I'm pretty sure it was Daveed that yelled this. Right as he did, the bus miraculously began moving.

"Hey" Emmy was in the seat behind mine. She popped her head over the back of my seat. "You excited?!"

"Yeah! Tomorrows gonna be awesome!"

"Except the fact that we have to be there by 6:30"

"Ew." That was the only way to sum up how I felt about that.

"Yeah, ew. Especially because we're going to the White House, we have to look good, that means hair and makeup, we have to dress nicely, and we're performing, so we kind of have to be awake."

"I know! I'm lucky, all I have to do is straighten my hair, and I don't have to be as awake as all of you do, I'm just there to watch."

"Actually. The girls kind of wanted to ask if you would be up for being in a ham4ham?"

"Really? Yeah! Which one?" My face lit up as I asked.

"We're going to sing Schuyler Sisters somewhere, don't know where yet, but, you know the Soprano harmonies right?"

"Yeah! Of course! As soon as I found out it had Soprano harmonization I learned it."

"It's a rare and beautiful thing isn't it?" Emmy asked.

"Yes. Yes it is."

"HEY GUYS!" Emmy yelled back over her shoulder, "SHES IN!" I heard feminine cheers from the back of the bus, then I heard Oak. Gotta love him.

"Hey!" Renée yelled from the back, "let's do a quick run through, see if you get it!"

"Alright!" I somewhat yelled back to them.

"Hey yo Leslie!! Start us off!" Pippa yelled.

"There's nothing rich folks love more, than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor! They pull up in their carriages and gawk at the students in the common just to watch em talk. Take Phillip Schuyler the man is loaded!" Sydney punched the air proudly, "uh oh! But little does he know that his daughters Peggy, Angelica, Eliza, slip into the city just to watch all the guys at..."

"WORK WORK!" All the girls on the bus sang in 3 part harmony.

"Angelica!" Renée stood up.

"Eliza!" Pippa didn't stand, but definitely got into it.

"And Peggy!" Jazzy jumped up.

"The Schuyler Sisters!" They sang together. The Schuyler sisters went well, apparently, you pick up a thing or 2 when you listen to that song 1 to 400 times, and you live with the guy who wrote it.

(We're on the road!)

I texted William.

(Nice! Let me guess, someone's singing.)

(Actually no, I'm pretty sure that it's called rapping.)

(Ah, what song?)

(I have now idea. Do you think I'm immersed in pop culture?)

(Wait! I have an idea!)

He stopped texting me, and suddenly my phone lit up, he was face-timing me. I picked up and held the phone to my face.

"Hi! Good idea." I opened.

"Thanks! Now let me listen to the song." He responded.

"Hey!" Emmy popped back up, "wait, Abigail," I looked up, "is that the boyfriend?" I looked from my phone to Emmy, and nodded. "Oh my gosh! He's so cute." She said this the way one might describe a puppy, "gimme!" She held her hands out for the phone, I laughed a little and handed William off to her. "Guys!! I've got Abi's boyfriend on her phone!!" She held my phone in the air.

"HEY GIVE IT HERE!" Thayne jumped up and ran over to grab the phone, "hi boyfriend!!" He said smiling into the camera, "I'm Thayne!" He waved.

"Oh, so you're Thayne!" William asked.

"Yep." He said grinning.

"Hi William!" Anthony said over Thaynes shoulder.

"Hey!" William replied via my phone. "Hey Jasmine!" William whispered to Jasmine, who was sleeping on Anthony's shoulder.

"Jazzy say hi back." Anthony nudged Jasmine a bit with his elbow.

"Hi." She yawned, sitting up a little, "and good night." She fell back down, and Anthony hugged her into his side.

So my phone was passed around to pretty much everyone, and they all seemed to like William, he was finally returned to me when, the bus slowed down, we were stopping at a mall for dinner.

The rest of the bus ride went well, I watched Grease Live, it's currently my goal to meet Aaron Tveit. Yes. That's a good goal. We finally got to the hotel at 8:00 that night, and I crashed, literally, I got into my hotel room and fell on my bed, I fell asleep about 10 minutes after that. And that's a good thing too, I had to get up at 5:30 the next morning.

Sorry it's late

Thanks for reading!
