Manifest Destiny: Lewis and Clark Musical Adventure

♪ [New Renaissance logo music]

♪ [Intro music]

[Narrator] A long time ago, so long ago that no one can remember

and no tree can remember, and no rock can remember ... there was a land between two shining seas.

In 1804, President Thomas Jefferson commissioned a daring expedition to map the land, discover the enchanting wildlife,

and develop friendly relations with the native people who lived on the frontier. He selected two men for the task: Meriwether Lewis

and William Clark. With these two went the hopes and dreams of the American people.

But deep within their hearts ... their greatest ambition was to stand on that far western edge,

look out over the Pacific, and breathe in the salty, ocean air.

They believed it was ... their DESTINY.

♪ [song begins - "Manifest Destiny"] ♪ I charge you two, as President ♪ Go forth upon this quest

♪ As leader of America, this mission I now bless ...

♪ Be bold, be courageous as you solve this mystery

♪ Remember, in your darkest hour, you're making history

♪ There in the West you'll find it ♪ our great discovery ...

♪ [rising, jaunty music]

♪ [Clark] I will not fail to blaze the trail from here on to the sea. ♪ With gun and horse and strength and force, I'll leave my legacy!

♪ I'll hunt and scavenge to keep us both alive. ♪ I'll never stop exploring until the day I die!

♪ [Lewis] It breaks my heart that I must part, dear folks I'll miss you all. ♪ But I'll have friends to keep me warm,

♪ all creatures great and small. ♪ I've heard my calling, this DESTINY is mine

♪ to look upon the beauty, every rock and tree divine! ♪ [Music swells]

♪ [together] Manifest Destiny!

♪ Ohhhh MANIFEST DESTINY!

♪ There on the Western Sea

♪ Ohhh, there my heart longs to be.

♪ I'll miss you most, my Abigail. I won't forget to write.

♪ When I return I'll sweep you up and take you for my bride.

[birds chip loudly] It's time to mount the horses.

[Eagle] President Jefferson, you did it! Already we're making history! Yes, indeed today is America's finest hour.

And your finest hour, sir! Oh Eagle, you flatterer ... but do go on! [laughing]

♪ We vow to you, our country, that we will do our best ♪ However long we sing this song until we reach the West

♪ Through hills and valleys, through sun and snow, ♪ through light and darkness we will boldly go!

[cheering] ♪ [music swells] ♪ [The Townspeople] Manifest Destiny! Destiny ...

♪ Ohhh MANIFEST DESTINY!

♪ There on the Western Sea Western Sea ... ♪ Ohhh there my heart longs to be!

[music concludes as the horses whinny and neigh humorously]

♪ [gentle, pastoral music]

[bird chirps happily] [Lewis] Oh William, look. Our first discovery.

[Clark] Well done, Lewis. It is a woodpecker crow of some sort and if his heavenly melodies

are any sign of things to come ... I think the Lord has blessed our mission indeed.

[uninterested] Very good ... I shall name him after you my good friend. [to bird] You shall be called ... 'Clark's Nutcracker!'

[LOUD GUNSHOT] We dine tonight! [Lewis] Nooo! That poor thing ...

he was flying home to fill the bellies of his younglings. Yes. Well, he'll be filling OUR bellies tonight.

God has entrusted all of nature to us. To work and keep the land ... to care for His creatures, not to needlessly destroy them.

That's a very nice thought, but your sanctimonious platitudes will not save you.

For a naturalist, you sure don't seem to know much about nature. Out here in the wild, it's kill or be killed.

If we spare every animal you form an attachment to, we will perish in a fortnight. But President Jefferson has tasked us to document these creatures.

And so we will. If you would like to study this bird before I roast it over the fire, by all means go ahead.

Once rigor mortis sets in ... it should be quite easy to trace with your pencil.

Heartless. [gentle, pastoral music]

[Lewis voiceover over romantic music] My Dearest Abigail, Thus far our journey has been successful.

I think often of you. Your voice, your face, and your gooseberry pies of course!

If only you were here by my side, rather than this brute, William Clark.

A more calloused soul I have never met. But you always encourage me to look for the best in people.

I will keep my heart open toward him. All my love, Meriwether.

[Clark] What is that you're writing, Lewis? Why it's a letter to my Abigail. And how do you plan on corresponding with your ladyfriend from all the way out here?

Greetings, dear sirs! Oh, Clark! This is Eagle.

He is President Jefferson's Official Bird. [Clark] Sounds more like a silly novelty to me.

I know I'm young and small but one day I hope to do something of great importance like the two of you!

I'll deliver these back to the President's Office post haste! [Lewis] I'm much obliged. Do you have any letters, sir?

No. Now Clark, surely you have someone back home to write to. Afraid not.

[Eagle] No family? Not at the present moment. Perhaps a lady love in waiting? [giggling]

No. Poor William Clark, the LONELIEST man in the world! [laughs]

[awkwardly] I'm sorry ... I didn't mean that. Perhaps it's best you be on your way.

Yes Eagle, don't you have more pressing matters to attend to like polishing Jefferson's shoes or hanging out his undergarments?

[rifle cocking] Be on your way! [Eagle] I will take my leave.

Clark, I know that Eagle spoke out of turn but that was no reason to be so curt.

Do you really have no friends or family? No one you long to see? Truthfully, there is one beauty I've had my eye on.

Oh? She is quite a sight. Describe her to me.

Well, she's tall, dark ...

and weighs over 600 pounds. Oh my. She has stocky legs, a wet nose,

and is covered in shaggy, black hair. She sounds like a rare beauty. She is a bloodthirsty killer and goes by the name of Ursus Americanus.

Although most men know her simply as -- Black Bear. [Clark] But oh ... how long to be in her presence

with her cold, lifeless body beneath my feet.

[Lewis chuckles] Oh, William. Always pulling my leg.

Open up your heart for once! I am! [Lewis] What? I loved a woman ... for a time.

Then this beast took her from me.

You'll excuse me. I must scout the upcoming terrain.

I'm sorry, William. I didn't know. ♪ [song begins, 'Manifest Destiny - Clark's Reprise']

♪ I have heard the tale of a man who climbed the highest mountain.

♪ Stories he told worth greater than gold ♪ His fame an endless fountain.

♪ There is no room for weakness Life is cruel. Just wait and see.

♪ And after all that I have been through Lewis, please, just let me be.

♪ [Soft piano] I may have no destiny ...

♪ My soul restless, never free.

♪ Yet ... there on the Western Sea

♪ there my heart longs to be

♪ [music concludes]

♪ [grand and stirring expedition theme]

♪ [music concludes] [Lewis] C'mon Hamilton, let's go. Pick it up! [Clark] This way, Lewis.

Clark, what's your horse's name? Horse. [Lewis] What?

[Clark] His name is 'Horse'. Well, that's not a very dignified name. Well, he's not a very dignified creature.

I think you can come up with a better name than that. Come on, let's hear one! River!

Now that is a lovely name, Clark. I --- Oh.

Clark, this river isn't on the map. [Clark] Of course it's not on the map.

We haven't put it there yet. [Lewis] Suddenly I'm afraid. Can't we find some way around?

Don't worry, Lewis. All we have to do ... is ford it.

♪ I know that we will find a way across this river stream. ♪ And when we reach the other side, together we will be.

♪ So pick up your axe and follow me, into the forest you will see. ♪ We'll build a raft and we'll build a sail to ford this river stream.

♪ Fording the river across this stream we go ♪ Fording the river beyond it, we don't know

♪ Strike up the sail and put on your boots and bring out your sons and daughters. ♪ Tie up the ropes and place the pontoons and put the boat in the water.

♪ [Instrumental bridge] [Laughing]

♪ Fording the river, across this stream we go ♪ Fording the river beyond it, we don't know

♪ Strike up the sail and put on your boots and bring out your sons and daughters ♪ Tie up the ropes and place the pontoons and put the boat in the water

♪ I know that we will find a way across this land, you'll see. ♪ We'll break forth through this prison wall and together we'll be free.

♪ So pick up the slack and follow me, into the river you will see ♪ We'll move across with haste and speed to claim our liberty.

♪ Fording the river across this stream we go ♪ Fording the river beyond it, we don't know

[music ends] [grunts and groans]

It's all right ... the worst is behind us.

[Crowd cheering] Lewis and Clark! [Repeating] Lewis and Clark! Lewis and Clark!

[Eagle] Lewis and Clark! Lewis and Clark! Yay!

Wow, Mr. President. The whole town is still buzzing with excitement! Yes ... buzzing. Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.

Like an annoying wasp that just won't DIE! You seem ... troubled, sir.

An astute observation, my young Eagle. Where would I be without your astounding insights?

But the people cheer for you and your mission. They cheer for me? For ME?!

No! They cheer for them! Meriwether Dingleberry and William CHUMP!

Ruffians! This was supposed to be my moment.

It's the Declaration of Independence all over again. I write it ...

and then along comes Johnny Hancock and his pretty little penmanship. Ohhh, how difficult that must have been for him.

Bravo! Brava! They are putting you on the two-dollar bill.

Oh, I'm sure that will be a big success! [sighs] [begins humming]

Where are you going? I'm going to bring in the mail, sir! What mail?

Umm ... [stammers awkwardly] It ... it's for ... Lewis and Clark?

I'll be right back! Fine. Go! Leave! I don't need your charity.

[slurring] Finally some alone time with some--one--person-- who appreciates my greatness! The one person worthy of my presence ...

♪ I declared our independence, then you terrorized our countrymen. ♪ I'm the One. True. Great. President. ♪ Thomas Jefferson.

♪ Ho! John Adams you were no more than a sad fat man. ♪ Your name and your politics, no one will remember them.

♪ There's no one more perfect than, the finest living specimen. ♪ My name should be preeminent: Thomas Jefferson!

[startles] [Eagle] Sir? [stammers awkwardly]

[clears throat] Sorry to interrupt! How do you fly out there every month? I'm surprised your puny little wings have enough strength.

[Eagle] I'm stronger than I Iook, sir. My father used to carry John Adams! If an eagle can carry a man like Adams,

then an eagle could carry ... just about anyone.

Sir? That's it. What's it? Jefferson, you magnificent scallywag, I think you've got it!

Got what?! [music picks back up] ♪ Lewis and Clark will further embark ... straight into the dark

Well ... it's time for some good, old-fashioned land claiming!

Let's go! [Lewis] Clark! Are all these flags really necessary? Of course! Marco Pollo, Magellan, Columbus -- all the great explorers had their flags.

[Lewis] I just don't to disturb the natural beauty of the land. [Clark] Nonsense.

Why are you trembling so? Are you still cold from the river? That was yesterday!

My body has recovered but I'm afraid I'm still a bit ruffled in spirit.

The river is behind you, Lewis! Forget about it! Before us lies the Great Unknown -- just waiting to be discovered!

I suppose so. Where's your explorer's spirit, man? If you want to meet those animal friends of yours, well you won't do it dragging your feet.

You must march forward ... with purpose! Nothing is going to bring us down! [laughs]

[groans and grunts] What happened? I think the lightning ...

-- struck this flag. [CRASH] AHH!

[grunts and groans]

[wild horse cries offscreen] Oh! [wild horse sounds]

What's happening with the horses?! Lewis ... no! [music intensifies]

You're putting yourself in danger!

Ohh! The lightning! It's driven them mad!

No, Clark! No! [loud gunshot]

NOOOOO!!!! [Lightning crashes] We dine tonight.

Fly, Hamilton! Swifter than an eagle, never come back! [Hamilton gallops away]

[yelling] What have you done?! What needed to be done! I did my horse a favor.

A favor?! [lightning crashes down again]

♪ [mysterious music]

♪ [music begins to build]

[startles awake]

[startles again] Hello there.

Hello? Might I ask who you are? My name is Sacagawea. I'm a Princess of the Forest.

What brought you to our lands? My name is Meriwether Lewis and he -- [Clark] I can introduce myself, thank you very much!

My name is Leif Erikson -- and this is my manservant, Kragen.

We are Vikings from the North. Clark, clearly she is a friend she has saved our lives and our quest.

Yes, but who is she and what does she want? Her name is [pronounces differently] Sacagawea.

Sacagawea. [Clark] Ah, well that's nice. This is all very fascinating but we must be on our way.

Come on, Lewis. Get your things. I would be glad to offer my help.

That's funny ... I don't remember asking for it. We're headed in the same direction. I know these lands intimately.

I can show you the safe and secret paths. I can help you find food and shelter.

Oh, that would be wonderful! Horsepucky. We've done fine up to now under my guidance.

Come on. The worst is behind us! Clark! Clearly she has been sent to us in our hour of greatest need.

We cannot ignore this Godsend. How close to the West can you lead us?

I can take you as far as the entrance to the Great Mountains and then I must return home.

Please, Clark. It would be such a help to us.

She could introduce us to all the friendly birds and beasts. Isn't that right [pronounces wrong again] Sacagawea?

'Sacagawea', yes. I can show you all the creatures of the forest.

All the creatures of the forest you say?

You wouldn't to happen to know where I might find the Great Black Bear? I know of her dwelling, yes.

Perhaps you might be of some use to us. Alright! You may tag along with us if you wish.

[Lewis] HUZZAH! Gather your things, this way! [chuckling] He's going backwards, isn't he?

[Sacagawea] He'll figure it out in a moment.

You will protect us, won't you? [Sacagawea] I'll do what I can.

Forgive me if I sound anxious ... It's just ...

This quest has been far more dangerous than I ever imagined.

And now that my ... my poor dear sweet Hamilton is gone ...

Please just tell me that the path gets easier. I cannot promise that.

Our world is perilious and your fear is not unfounded. But can I tell you a secret?

Yes, oh yes! Yes of course! I have often found that some of my most painful hardships

have reaped many of my greatest joys. Take heart, Meriwether the Gentle.

[Clark offscreen] Wrong way. I knew that! [laughing] I was testing you, Sausagawa!

Well done, well done! Take my hand, Lewis.

[Eagle] Attention, everyone! Attention! I have a special announcement from the Office of the President!

As you all are undoubtedly aware, Lewis and Clark are currently out on an expedi---

[Crowd cheering interrupts] Ha ha, yes quite right! Woo!

We have just received news concerning their quest. News of great import.

Here to tell us of their progress is our fearless leader ... Our captain at the helm.

Our commander-in-chief. President Thomas Jefferson! Yay!

Thank you, Eagle! [subdued clapping] Thank ... thank you.

My fellow Americans, our country is built on invention, courage, and discovery.

And these ideals are no better exemplified than in our two brave explorers-- [Crowd] LEWIS AND CLARK! [loud cheering]

William Clark and Meriwether Lewis-- and we hold only the highest regard for their courage and tenacity.

But I am afraid that we did not see the danger that they put themselves in.

We could not see that this perilous quest would be their ultimate undoing.

[Confused murmuring] Sir, what are you talking about?

I'm afraid they have been captured ... BY INDIANS!

[gasps and screams] And it is very likely ... that they have been killed.

[Jefferson] Truly, this is an unspeakable tragedy.

But they themselves knew that this expedition was more important than their own lives.

All of us ... will one day die.

But America ... will last forever.

This expedition must be continued. We must follow in their bootsteps ...

and honor their legacy. [Crowd clapping] Bravo. And so I announce to you today, as president --

that I will personally travel to the West ... and finish my expedition! [loud cheering]

I will blaze a trail! I will map the land myself if I have to!

[Applause] Jefferson! Jefferson! Jefferson!

[Eagle gasps] Come now, Eagle! We must arise!

Right now? Join me, America's first Explorer President.

Fear not, Thomas Jefferson is here! [Jefferson laughs proudly] [crowd cheering]

[Jefferson] AMERICA!

[Crowd chanting endlessly] Jefferson! Jefferson! Jefferson!

[Jefferson] I shall return! [music concludes]

[Lewis voiceover] My Dearest Abigail, I write to you as a man rejuvenated. Sacagawea is a great guide and has become a dear friend.

Why even Clark has taken a liking to her! The three of us have begun collecting specimens together.

My books are filled with samples of the enchanting wildlife and I can't wait to share my findings with you upon my return.

[romantic music] I'm making you something special this month.

Whenever I work on it, I feel a little closer to you. Oh, how I long to return to you, to share one of your gooseberry pies.

May the Lord reunite us soon. All my love, 'Meriwether.'

What are you writing, Lewis? Another letter to your Abigail? Clark, love takes no holiday.

Even when two lovers are a thousand miles apart. And what is that you're making?

Oh! I'm making a blanket for Abigail. Something to represent our unbreakable love bond.

Meriwether, you scallywag. You really are smitten!

Well ... fish today? More fish than I thought possible. You've seen the way that one eats!

[laughing] She is eating for two. Oh, I know. [laughing]

No but ... but she's with child!

What? You didn't realize? William, she's going to have a baby!

[huge laughter]

[pronounces wrong again] Sacay-ga-wea!

So a little bird tells me that you're carrying a baby inside you. Oh, don't worry. I shall be home with my people before the baby is born.

You know you ... shan't be a burden to us. I know Lewis would very much like it if you remained in our company.

[Eagle] You're alive! I was so worried. [Jefferson] Word got back to us back east that the two of you had been captured by Indians.

I hoped against all hope that the two of you were still alive but I confess ... I had my doubts. I'm so relieved!

But how did you find us and so quickly? [Eagle] It was me! [Jefferson] Yes, you can thank Eagle for that.

I knew that he would stand the greatest chance of knowing your whereabouts thanks to his mail trips. Well, thank you very much. This is just what we needed to finish

the last leg of our journey. Based on our estimates, we are only a month away from the Western Sea.

Yes, well I trust this visit from your Commander-in-Chief has-- thoroughly reinvigorated you.

Good luck, my boys! [Eagle] Aw, we have to leave already? Yes, Jefferson. Stay awhile!

I'd love to show you some of my maps-- [Jefferson] I'm afraid there are many anxious people waiting to hear the truth about your fate I--

I must report back to them this joyful news! Farewell, my friends. You've done this nation proud.

Rise, Eagle! [Eagle] Bye Meriwether, bye William! Lewis, our ... our maps ... our bags, our research ...

Our bags! Our bags! He's stealing our maps! WHAT?!

What?! No—! [Jefferson screams]

[Jefferson] Confound it! What's going on here? I'd hoped it wouldn't come to this.

AH! [Lewis] Mr. President, what are you doing? [Jefferson] I'm taking back what's mine.

You mean, our work? I mean the respect of the American people!

This was my idea. MY mission! And if this ... is what it takes to put things into perspective ...

-- then so be it. [Eagle] You're claiming their work as your own? That's what you've been up to? You knew all along, you foul creature!

I didn't! Eagle ... fly me home now.

[conflicted whimpering] I command it! I ... I can't, sir!

You are bound to me. Do not forget your Eagle Oath!

Do it now! No! [Eagle cries out wildly] Fly, Eagle, fly!

I'm sorry--! You've been foiled, Jefferson!

Not ... quite. I have your map here.

And with that I'll be able to find my way home just fine. But the two of you out here alone without it --

are as good as dead. We'll just see about that.

[Jefferson] I see my tonic is beginning to work. [Lewis] What's happening?! [Clark] The water! (groans and gasps)

How nice ... ♪ [song begins – "Jefferson's Reprise"]

♪ Goodnight, my courageous friends ♪ Your help is no longer relevant

♪ Pleasant dreams now in Sleepyland ♪ Thank you so much for the helping hand

Ah, Lewis ... your dearest Abigail wanted you to have this.

Sweet rest, my angels. [laughs maniacally]

♪ Power without precedent I'm taking up my residence ♪ as the One True Great President

♪ Thomas Jefferson! ♪ [song concludes]

[exhales and mutters awkwardly]

Definitely back this way ...

Lewis ... you're awake?

How long have we been out? Almost a day I'm afraid. I pulled you out of the sun.

Why are you just sitting there? We must do something.

Clark, I've been thinking. There's just simply no way for us to go against someone as powerful as Jefferson.

That part of our story is over. My heart tells me we must finish this journey.

What? Why? We can find him.

We don't even know which way he went. He's long gone by now. He went east! That's all I need to know.

But what about the West? Clark, we're so close. I can almost smell the ocean air ...

You know what I can smell, Lewis? My legacy ... going up in smoke!

If he gets away with this, it'll all be for nothing. None of it will matter.

America will have our work. Let Jefferson do what he wants. We will be the ones to stand on the Western shore.

That means nothing to me. Let's go.!

Clark ... Clark! Clark, wait!

Clark, please Clark!

You can't leave me! Why not? After all that's happened are you still so naïve?

Jefferson betrayed us. Sacagawea abandoned us ... It's every man for himself.

[Lewis] I will not be poisoned by your bitterness!

You want to go West? Fine. Die out here in anonymity for the sake of your silly fantasy.

My destiny lies East! I won't be left behind in history! Clark, please!

Unhand me, I say! ♪ Lewis, time and time again you push me to the brink.

♪ Come now William, hurry up, we’re standing on the brink. I'm going East, Lewis!

♪ We should be on our way! I'm going back.

♪ Come, William. It's time we go, William. ♪ No, Lewis. I will not go, Lewis.

[together] ♪ Come, William. It's time we go, William. ♪ No, Lewis. I will not go, Lewis.

But you must go! I will not go! Come on, let's go! I will not go! You will go! No! Go! No! Go! No! Go! No! Go! No!

Ahhhhhh! Lewis, hold on!

[panicking] Help! Grab this rope. I'll pull you up!

[Lewis] It's too late! I will not let the river devour two bodies this day! No, Lewis

Let me free! I will not! It is the only way ...

♪ Hold on a little longer Lewis, don’t give up on me ♪ The woods, the streams, they call to me, it’s where I’m meant to be

♪ I need you on this daring quest, hold on you’ll soon be free ♪ One quick slash from your axe so swift and then I shall be free

[in unison] ♪ Have mercy on me! ♪ I was not meant in this poor life to reach the Western Sea ♪ I swear to you with your own eyes you’ll reach the Western Sea

♪ Hold on, Lewis. Just a moment longer, Lewis. ♪ Let me go, William. Not a moment longer, William. ♪ Hold on, Lewis. Just a moment longer, Lewis. ♪ Let me go, William. Not a moment longer, William.

You're slipping! My hands grow tired! You must hold on!

♪ Before I go I leave you one simple mandate to uphold

♪ Continue on this quest so brave and reach the Western shore

♪ For Abigail. For God above. For you and for me.

♪ But most important of them all for America --

♪ -- the Freeeeeeeeeeee!

Lewis!

♪ My life like some grand opera, a performance that I sung

♪ Time to take my final bow before my song is ...

♪ -- done. [song concludes]

[thunder rumbles]

[even louder thunder]

[Clark] Don't worry, Lewis. We'll patch you up. You'll be as good as new.

[faintly] I can't even move, Clark. My journey is over.

No, Lewis. That's enough. You get some rest ...

The worst is behind us.

What's this? A letter from Abigail! My sweet! I've waited for so long, read it to me.

"My Dearest Meriwether, It's been almost two years since you departed on your journey --

and though I begged you not to join the expedition, you were determined to do so

and I tried my best to support your dream of reaching the West.

But these passing months have been torture to my soul. Never knowing when you would come back or whether you were dead or alive.

My life forever on hold. But I'm afraid I cannot bear this any longer and so I write ... with a heavy heart ...

that I -- Lewis ... perhaps I'll read this later.

[Lewis] No.

Finish it.

I have decided to let you go.

My heart has now found comfort in the arms of a local millwright and we are to be married next month.

I'm so desperately sorry. Goodbye, Meriwether. I wish you the very best.

- Abigail."

Lewis ... [Lewis] I've lost her. I've lost everything.

I know how you feel. When I lost my Emily ...

things were never the same. [Lewis] Emily?

She was my wife ...

but she's gone now. [muffled sounds of a bear stomping in the forest]

Where are you going, Clark? [menacingly] We dine tonight.

♪ [song begins – "Lost"]

[rain begins to fall] ♪ I’ve lost you now, my Abigail Why did you leave me?

♪ I thought you and I would stand the test of time. I believed you were mine

♪ My heart it was deceived thinking you would wait for me ♪ You've torn me up inside

♪ Our love was just a lie ...

♪ All hope has died

♪ I’ve lost you now, my Abigail

♪ Why did you leave me? I've lost my way upon this trail

♪ I can no longer see clear ♪ Here amidst the trees and all the animals and streams

♪ I thought that I was meant to be

♪ But now I'm all alone

♪ Without a home

♪ I thought someone was watching over me

♪ -- lighting my way ♪ But now I see I'm in the dark

♪ -- and I'm so afraid ♪ Here I lie undone

♪ I surrender now, you've won ♪ My faith is all but gone

♪ I'll fight for you no more

♪ What was all of this for?

♪ Why did you leave me?

♪ Why did you leave me? ♪ Why did you leave me?

♪ Why did you leave me? ♪ Noooooo!

♪ [Sacagwea's melody from 'A Different Story']

♪ [the music continues and song concludes]

♪ [Sacagwea's melody plays again softly]

[Lewis] You were right, Clark.

You were right about everything. This world ...

is a darkness.

No. ♪ [song begins – "William's Penance"]

♪ Meriwether, we’ll weather this storm together

♪ Whether or not we make it in the end

♪ And we may never, no ever, be remembered

♪ But I will not forsake you ♪ as long as I’m alive

♪ I was not the man I should have been. For this I do repent.

♪ But I won't let you die alone out here my only friend

♪ Meriwether, we’ll weather this storm together

♪ Whether or not we make it in the end

♪ And we may never, no ever, be remembered

♪ But I will not forsake you as long as I’m alive

♪ ♪

♪ [instrumental bridge]

♪ There upon the Western shore is where I long to be

♪ But I won't set foot on the sand 'til your standing there with me.

♪ Only then shall we be free ...

♪ Be free ... ♪ So Meriwether, we’ll weather this storm together

♪ Whether or not we make it in the end

♪ And we may never, no ever, be remembered

♪ But I will not forsake you ♪ as long as I’m alive ...

♪ [song concludes]

Clark ... Clark, listen.

Can you hear it? What?

[sound of ocean waves] [laughing joyfully]

♪♪

We made it. We made it to the Western Waters!

[Lewis] Turn me so I can see with my own two eyes.

You were right, Lewis. You were right.

Lewis?

Lewis ... [Heavenly Choir] ♪ (softly) Oh, Manifest Destiny

♪ Oh, Manifest Destiny ...

♪ Oh, there on the Western Sea

♪ Oh, there my heart longs to be

[Heavenly Lewis] Clark. Clark! Dry your tears, William Clark.

[Clark] Lewis? [Heavenly Lewis] This is no time for mourning. You have brought me to the Western shore

and my body is finally free from its earthly shell.

Ah! [Heavenly Lewis chuckles]

My part in this journey is over but you will not finish it alone.

Hamilton! [laughing] How much you've grown!

[Eagle] Special delivery! Eagle? Eagle!

I couldn't let Jefferson get away with it! Most brave and loyal, Eagle! You shall henceforth be known

as the great symbol of our new nation. Thank you, good sir! [Heavenly Lewis] Now William Clark, you must ride. Ride on into your DESTINY!

[Clark] ♪ We vowed to you, our country that we would do our best

♪ However long we sang this song until we reached the West

♪ Through hills and valleys, through sun and snow

♪ Through light and darkness we did boldly go

[Hamilton neighs as music builds]

[Clark yelling triumphantly]

[laughing joyfully]

[Heavenly Lewis laughing] [Clark laughing]

♪ [Heavenly Choir] Manifest Destiny …

♪ Oh, Manifest Destiny ...

♪ There on the Western Sea

♪ Oh, there my heart longs to be

[Narrator] And so we come to the end of our tale.

Clark and Hamilton returned home and drew the expedition to a close.

Jefferson's soul was humbled -- and he was able to go on and regain some dignity during his presidency --

but Eagle kept a close watch on him for the rest of his days!

Clark served as governor of the Missouri territory and met often with his old friend, Sacagawea.

He would go on to become a father to ten children.

His firstborn was named ... Meriwether Lewis Clark.

And the rest, as they say ... is history. ♪♪

Emoji ask game

🎼 🤡

🎼: Do you have any songs you think fit characters from (insert fandom/series)? Ohhh boy I have a few

No One Else (from: Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812): This is a great Hamliza song! It fits so much better than helpless. In Mazzeo's Eliza biography, the prologue is a scene of Eliza awaiting the arrival for Hamilton for their marriage, exactly where I set the scene of the song in my mind. The Banks of The Lee (by: The Longest Johns): Thommartha (Thomas x Martha Jefferson) angst song. I envision this song as dialogue after Martha's death. This song doesn't fit perfectly in its narrative, but since it is a melancholy mourning song it fits. She Used To Be Mine (from: Waitress): John Laurens angst song. I imagine it as internal dialogue during his depression. He especially regrets his wedlock marriage to Martha Manning and his daughter whom he abandoned. I also interpret it as Hamilton's relationship with Laurens giving him a will to go on with life. Stars (from: Les Miserables): Hewlett (TURN)! The song is just a character (Javert) singing about how he loves starts because they keep order in the universe. How can it now fit?

🤡: Favorite joke from (insert fandom/series)? There are too many!

- I enjoy the crackships! Me and my friend made up one called John Charles (John Hancock x Charles Lee) for absolutely no reason except for that the ship name sounded like James Charles. The Jorgy is really cursed and amazing. - Franklin's intellectual idiocy is always fun to read about! I like the title of his "Imaginary Speech." - Making fun of old Jefferson for being weird is nice. - Also making fun of Hamilton is cool! - Literally everything involving Liberty's Kids is hilarious. From the weird frames to the bad jokes, I always laugh so much. I have so many inside jokes from this show it's amazing. My favorite inside joke is the episode "The Hessians are Coming." Gunter, a hessian, is amazing. I want a entire series just about him. I do love all cabbage jokes that came from TURN. - There are more that I'm forgetting sorry-

coffee mates and clueless dates

I've never written for Thomgelica before but oh well!

1,348 words

Reblogs > Likes

Full fic under the cut!

When Eliza tells her she's hired a new employee without telling her, Angelica is - of course - surprised. She's a little taken aback at her sisters' straight-forwardness, and that she doesn't even know who the new employee is. But Eliza refuses to tell her anymore than the man’s name, a certain Thomas Jefferson. She can’t decide if he sounds good for the job, but it’s too late for her to decide. If he can't pour a coffee, then he won't last long. The Schuylers pride themselves on their little independent coffee shop being amazing quality. Angelica berates Elizabeth as literally hitting her wrist gently, and reminding her to inform her before she hires someone next time. Eliza had merely winked at her, told her just to wait and see the guy come in.

Angelica is wiping down the table top, using a white cloth just to swipe the breadcrumbs to the floor for later, when the bell at the door rings signifying someone else walking in. She glances up and- wow. So, whoever this is, whether it be a customer or a new employee, he is exactly Angelica's type, and that's just from looks. Tall, handsome and seemingly full of charisma, simply from the way he walks.

She watches him saunter up to the counter, lean on it with one elbow and smile. Dashingly…

What was getting into her? Angelica was the calm, unaffected one! She didn't fall for smoldering good looks! "Hello," she started, "can I help you?"

"I would sure hope so," his voice comes out a slow, Southern drawl, it leaves her clinging onto every syllable, ogling like a simple school-girl. "I'm the new start," he stands up straight and offered a hand across the counter.

Angelica takes it in her own, shaking firmly. He has an excellent handshake, which always makes for a good start, seems relatively confident in himself. "Oh, perfect. I'm Angelica Schuyler, co-owner. I suppose my sister was the one who hired you? Thomas Jefferson, right?"

Thomas let go of her hand right before it got too awkward, "that's me, I'm happy to start here. Need something to get me through law school," he chuckled a little.

Angelica found herself smiling, so he was smart too? Damn Eliza to hell, she knew exactly what she was up to.

Angelica is 100% going to kill her sister.

She was never one to fall for guys so easily, but a good looking, self assured, smart man - who is a little clumsy and ever so slightly clueless? Well, he ticks every box.

And it simply isn't fair, because she should be opposed to this Jefferson, after all, she is technically his boss. But he's so clueless and helpless and honestly it's doing things to her heart that it shouldn't. He's playing her like a goddamn fiddle and he doesn't even know it. (Maybe violin would be more fitting - since she discovered Thomas actually can play violin.)

Angelica takes every opportunity to help Thomas, even having Eliza overtake her place at the front of house, just to help Thomas fixing the coffee machine. She notices that he finds it especially difficult talking to customers if he's unlucky enough that they start small talk. Angelica has watched his eyes screw up for that single beat, sees only the tips of his ears go a dusty sort of pink with nerves. And she takes pity on him, takes him under her wing and teaches him all there is to know.

She doesn’t need to thread her fingers with him to show him how to work the cashier on his third time using it - but she does. And she doesn’t need to astound at how soft at how meticulously smoothed with bath products his skin is either - but she sure does. Angelica giggles when Thomas trips over the legs of chairs, curses under his breath to himself. It’s weird - strange - how the Southern fuck captured her attention, dragged her under into the deep depths of attraction, but she left her life jacket behind and never learned how to swim, so she’s happy to drown in the view of Thomas.

She almost hates herself for it, she’s strong goddamn it! She doesn’t need a man… until she does. Fuck- fuck society for forcing the perspective she needs a partner, fuck Eliza for hiring a sweet dork, fuck Peggy for laughing whenever she blushes at his oddly flirtatious comments. And especially, fuck Thomas for not seeing that she’s falling head over heels for him when she doesn’t want to.

But he keeps doing this thing where he bats his eyelashes in the light, or tucks his hair behind his ear and smiles at her - all teeth and brightness in his eyes. And it’s killing her. It’s making her melt and building her stronger all at once. She consults Eliza one night after closing, while they’re cleaning tables of stale coffee and donut crumbs, to which she gets, ��just ask him out, Angie,” she had giggled every time Thomas moved past her from there.

Maybe Thomas even felt the same way, he seemed to squeeze past her through tables, maybe his eyes lingered on her a little too long, or maybe… just maybe he was picking up on her hints?

“Wanna grab a coffee one day?”

She finally works up the courage to ask him out, tapping him on the shoulder when she’s on her break and Thomas is washing out a ceramic mug.

“We sell coffee every day, I can get one whenever,” he pauses and turns to her, placing the mug in lukewarm water. “Wait- do I get an employee discount?” Thomas’ whole face lights up again, that way that makes her stomach feel all fluttery and gross.

Angelica swallows thickly, nods her head and internally screams. “Yes, we get an employee discount, ten percent,” she grits her teeth, turns on her heel before she hears Thomas’ turn the tap back on.

So Thomas is a little more clueless than she first expected, maybe she should just be more obvious. Angelica knows she should really give up now, but there’s something nagging in the back of her mind - that that extra bit of stupid has managed to make her more attracted to him. It isn’t fair. Fuck!

Despite Peggy’s suggestions which is to quit while she’s ahead, Angelica tries again.

“Hey, Tom? Do you wanna get dinner tonight?” She asks, leans on the counter as a customer leaves. The store is oddly empty for once, and she uses it to her advantage.

“We serve dinner?!” God he’s so STUPID! How can someone be studying to be a lawyer and not see a date request even when it slaps them across the face!

“No! We do not serve dinner!” Angelica snaps. She drops her head to her hands, cradling herself. “God- you’re so- fuck. How are you so smart and so dumb all at once?” She mutters, almost ready to cry or hit the table or something.

“Hey… you okay, Angie? What’s bothering you?” Thomas leans over the counter until he’s close to her ear to whisper and it finally makes her snap her head up.

“You! You’re the problem! I’ve been asking you out, and you just- how are you not catching on!?” Angelica slams her hands down on the tabletop and gets up in his face. She can smell a mix of coffee beans and expensive cologne, stinging in her nose.

Thomas leans back, so he’s not quite in her face and exhales softly. “Ohhh,” he drags and chuckles, hanging his head to hide his smile. Angelica spots the tops of his ears go red. “Then I accept. Sorry, I’m just really fucking stupid.”

“Well, at least you admit it. Tonight at 7? Italian over the road?” Angelica suggests.

“I was thinking the Mexican next door.” Thomas counteracts her with a raised eyebrow, gesturing vaguely out the window.

“I don’t do Mexican, not on the first date.”

“Fine, the Italian then.”

“Perfect.”

Angelica smiles. Maybe this clueless coffee boy will be better at dates than he is at flirting.

I'm too lazy to tag people sorry 😭

“I need your help,” he reiterated, “with Alex.�� “Ohhh?” She perked right up at the mention of her name.

“I think she dumped me.”

“Ohhhhh,” Annabeth deflated a bit. “Sorry about that.”

“Well- I don’t know- if we were even really dating in the first place.” Magnus tried to explain. He walked over and sat on her bed. The way his feet dangled above the floor made him feel like a child. He clasped his hands together in an anxious ritual. “I thought it was more than, I dunno, friendship, but… I dunno,” he finished lamely.

...

Magnus and Alex get together, and they break up not even a month later.

Too Much Flour

A/N: So I’ve been fantasizing about this forever. This is also my first fic on here, so feedback would be appreciated!

Pairing: Tom Holland x (F)Reader

Summary: Tom can’t cook to save his life. You, on the other hand, are known for being quite the chef. So, when he tries and fails to make cookies, he calls you up for a favour. Who knew it would end up changing your lives?

Warning: Fluff, Tom being a terrible cook, SMUUUUTTTTTTT, Tom is a dirty-talker, unprotected sex(use a condom!), Hamilton references.

Word Count: 1.9K

You were sitting in your flat, watching some kinda trashy wannabe-Halloween horror movie and cuddling with your cat, Jessie, absentmindedly stroking her fur. About 40 minutes into the movie, your phone goes off next to you, startling Jessie and making her jump out of your lap. You grumbled, pausing your movie and looking at your phone. A small smile crept on your lips as you saw “Thomas Jefferson”, Tom’s contact, show up on your screen.

“Hello?”

“Y/N, hi,” he started, his voice making your heart flutter “Um, I’ve made a mistake.”

“Oh god, what did you do?”

“Well, I tried to bake cookies, but they didn’t spread and they look raw, even though they feel cooked.”

You chuckled. Tom was never known for being a great cook, but whenever he told you about his failures when attempting to cook it always made you crack up.

“I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.” You say, already turning off your tv and heading to your room to change.

“Thank you, Y/N!”

“Yeah, yeah, no problem. See ya.”

“Bye.”

You got dressed and headed out the door, hopping in your car to go to Tom’s flat. You and Tom met a few years ago when you guys sat next to each other while seeing Hamilton, hence the name on your phone. He noticed you singing along to all the songs and started humming along with you. Oh, you remember it like it was yesterday.

————

You had somehow managed to score tickets to Hamilton. In the best seats in the theatre, no less. You’d been a fan since it came out, and seeing it live was your biggest dream. You sat down in your seat with your popcorn and drink, ready for the greatest moment of your life. You heard someone sit down next to you, and you briefly glanced at them before turning your attention back to the stage.

You didn’t fully register who it was until you looked back. You saw an attractive looking man with curly brown hair. He looked vaguely familiar, but you couldn’t figure out who he was. Didn’t matter, the show was starting.

It wasn’t until The Schuyler Sisters came on that you noticed him again. You didn’t realize it but you were singing along. You heard a hum next to you, and you looked to see that he was humming along, looking at you. You blushed and flashed him a smile, which he returned. You kept exchanging glances at each other throughout the whole show.

Next thing you knew, he was running up to you asking for your number. You gave it to him gladly, wanting to see him again. That’s how your friendship began.

————

You sighed. Even after two years of friendship, every minute of them spent with you in love with him, he’d never see you in that light. After finding out that he was famous, it just solidified that he would never return your feelings. Pulling up to his flat, you put your depressing thoughts away and rushed up into his place. You opened the door using the key he gave you, and you were met with the smell of cookies.

“Y/N, thank god you’re here!” Tom sighed when he saw you.

You rushed over to the oven, where you saw a sheet of poorly done cookies. You looked at him, scolding him with your eyes. He gave you an apologetic smile. You touched a cookie, and true to his word, it looked raw but felt completely cooked.

“Oh, I see what you did wrong,” you said “how much flour did your recipe call for?”

“2 cups.”

“Did you just dunk the measuring cup into the bag and pour it in?”

“Yeah?” He said with a confused expression.

“Then you used too much flour. You have to scrape the excess off with a knife.”

Tom rolled his eyes, but then smiled at you. “Can you show me how to do it?”

You smiled and nodded. He pulled up the recipe and you started gathering ingredients. He stared at you, as if in awe. It took you clearing your throat for him to snap out of his trance.

“Alright, let’s get started!”

—-Time skip cause I’m lazy—-

You took the cookies out of the oven, and you and Tom looked at them with pride. Five minutes after pulling them out you moved the cookies to a rack.

“Let’s try one,” you said, picking up a cookie, breaking it in half and handing it to Tom.

“Cheers!” you guys said in sync, lightly tapping your halves together before eating them.

A soft moan escaped your lips, making Tom’s eyes snap on you. You stared at him, waiting for an answer as to why he’s looking at you. He just stands there, eyes looking into yours.

All of a sudden; you’re caught off guard as he drops his cookie and pulls you into his arms, lips crashing onto yours. Your eyes go wide, taken aback before dropping your cookie and wrapping your arms around his neck, finally kissing him back.

The desperate kiss goes on for what feels like forever. Soon, you have to part in order to breathe. You just stare at each other, breathing heavily.

“I’ve wanted to do that for so long.” Tom says, breaking the silence.

“Me too,” you admit, making him smile.

Without skipping a beat, his lips are back on yours, kissing you eagerly. You immediately correspond this time, no longer afraid. Your hands go to caress his hair, lightly tugging on the soft curls, causing him to moan into your mouth. You take that as an opportunity to slip your tongue in, exploring his mouth. His tongue glides over yours, his thumbs rubbing gentle circles on your waist.

You suddenly feel a pool of wetness between your legs, making you squeeze your thighs together. Tom notices, lips separating from yours and smirking at you. You stared at each other in silence for a few seconds before his whole demeanour changed and he picked you up in his arms, carrying you to his bedroom.

The second he’d put you down and shut the door, his lips were attacking your neck, leaving hickeys all over. He led you to the bed, lightly pushing you down and landing on top of you.

“Y/N, do you want this?” He asked, his hand holding the seam of your shirt.

“Yes, please Tom,” you begged.

That was all he needed to hear, roughly pulling your shirt over your head. He let out a groan as he saw your black bra, hands immediately going to unclasp it. He kissed down your body, leaving marks along the way. Once he reached your shorts, he looked up at you, eyes searing yours for permission. You nodded, and that was all he needed, roughly pulling your shorts and panties down.

“So wet for me, baby,” he signed, his breath hitting your pussy which caused you to moan.

“Please, Tom.” You begged. You didn’t care if you sounded desperate, you needed him.

He sat there, looking at your pussy for a few, excruciating seconds, before taking you by surprise and diving his face right in. You moaned loudly, grasping his hair as his lips wrapped around your clit and began sucking harshly. You pulled on his hair lightly, making him moan which only furthered the sensation.

You were getting so close to the edge. He knew, and he took his mouth off of you. You were about to complain, but your words got cut off when his tongue dipped inside of you.

“Ohhh, fuck, Tom,” you gasped, his thumb rubbing your clit.

Your words only made him more determined as well as turned on. He starts flicking his tongue faster and rubbing your clit more harshly. Your loud moans filled the room as you came, your thighs squeezing his head.

After you’d calmed down from your high, he pulled out and looked up at you. You could see your juices all over his mouth and chin, making you horny all over again. He took the back of his hand and rubbed it on his face, getting everything off then licking it.

“God, you taste so good.” He said, making you groan.

“Come on, fuck me.”

“Gladly.”

He tugged his shirt off as well as his sweats, leaving only his boxers, which were covering a very obvious bulge. You bit your lower lip, eyes trained on his dick and you sat up, your hand going into his boxers. You pushed them down eagerly, his cock flying out and hitting his stomach.

He was hard, the tip red and leaking pre-cum. You wrapped your hand around him, making him moan softly when it moved up and down. He pushed you down and fell on top of you. You let out a soft moan when his lips attached to your nipple, his hand playing with the other one.

“Come on, Tom,” you begged, not caring if you sounded desperate.

He smirked at you as his lips detached from your chest. “You want my cock? You want me deep inside that pretty little pussy?” He purred in your ear, making you groan.

“Please,” you whimpered.

Tom smirked, lightly pushing into you, looking at you to make sure you’re comfortable. You nod, and he pulls almost the whole way out before slamming back in, your moan and his hiss filling the room. He picked up a pace slow, but firm.

“FUCK! Tom!” You moaned when he grazed your spot.

He picks up on that location, pounding into it over and over, your heart rate going up. His thumb goes to your clit, rubbing circles, making you scream, your walls clenching around him.

“Come on, Princess, come for me,” he groans, so close to his high.

That pushes you over the edge, making your juices cover him as you reach your high. Your orgasm triggers Tom’s, him groaning and hissing loudly as he fills you up.

You stay like that for a minute, coming down from your highs before he pulls out, lying down next to you.

“So,” you said “that just happened.”

“Yeah,” he says, still out of breath.

You scoot over, lying your head on his bare chest, lightly kissing it before resting your cheek on it. You stayed there in silence for a bit, before you finally spoke up.

“Do you think this can happen again?” You said hopefully.

“Yeah, if you want,” he kissed your head.

“Is this gonna be just…” you start, before he interrupts

“I hope not. But if you don’t want-”

“No no no, I do. I want it so much.”

“Good. Me too. I really want you, Y/N.”

“Likewise.”

You giggled. He leaned down, capturing your lips in a kiss.

“Do you want to go get some cookies?” He asks.

“No, I’d rather taste you.” You tease.
