I updated!!! OMG!!!
Its only because I fell while skiing today and my leg is hurting.

[Men]
One, two, three, four
"Why are they counting?" Jefferson asked. The others just shrugged.

[Full Company]
Five, six, seven, eight, nine

[Burr Hamilton Laurens Lee]
It's the Ten Duel Commandments
"The hell! They made a song just about the duels. How many times do you think we will hear this song today?" Laurens asked. "I'm guessing only two. This one and mine with Burr." Alex answered. He left out the part that his first born had been killed in a duel. He really hoped that they wouldn't include that.

[Full Company]
It's the Ten Duel Commandments
Number one!

[Laurens]
The challenge: demand satisfaction
If they apologize
no need for further action
"When did people ever apologize?" Muttered Lafayette.

[Company]
Number two!

[Laurens]
If they don't, grab a friend
that's your second
"That was us in this duel, wasn't it Hamilton?" Alex nodded agreeing with Burr as he saw Lin hug 'John'?.

[Hamilton]
Your lieutenant when there's reckoning to be reckoned

[Company]
Number three!

[Lee]
Have your seconds meet face to face

[Burr]
Negotiate a peace

[Hamilton]
Or negotiate a time and place
"Always the one to be violent huh Hamilton?"

[Burr]
This is commonplace, 'specially 'tween recruits
"You do know is that it was illegal?It shouldn't be common." Jefferson asked. "Well, mr Jefferson, I'm guessing that it not only 'was' illegal but still is."

[Company]
Most disputes die, and no one shoots
"Yeah, sure, that sounds true." Laurens laughed. He remembered how this duel went but he was still nervous.

Number four!

[Laurens]
If they don't reach a peace, that's alright
"I'm pretty sure that's not 'alright' colonel Laurens."
Time to get some pistols and a doctor on site

[Hamilton]
You pay him in advance, you treat him with civility

[Burr]
You have him turn around
so he can have deniability
"That is actually really smart." Alex muttered.

[Company]
Five!

[Lee]
Duel before the sun is in the sky

[Company]
Pick a place to die where it's high and dry
"That's also a way to put it." Hercules grunted.
Number six!

[Hamilton]
Leave a note for your next of kin
Alex lost his smile, thinking of how hard it had been writing his last letter to Eliza.
Tell 'em where you been
Pray that hell or heaven lets you in
"Do they still believe in hell or heaven I wonder? Washington said quietly to himself. The others gave him puzzled looks. 'Why wouldn't they?" (AN-omg, I'm so sorry if this offended anyone. It was not the porpoise. But i realised that since they are all from 1700-1800ish they would believe in Christanity. I really didn't mean to offend anyone.).

[Company]
Seven!

[Lee]
Confess your sins
Ready for the moment of adrenaline
when you finally face your opponent

[Company]
Number eight!

[Laurens Lee Hamilton Burr]
Your last chance to negotiate
Send in your seconds
see if they can set the record straight

[Burr]
Alexander

[Hamilton]
Aaron Burr,
"Sir!!!" "Please calm down Lafayette."
sir

[Burr]
Can we agree that duels are dumb and Immature?

[Hamilton]
Sure
They all slowly turned to Alex. "What!" "You two actually... agreed on... something." Thomas said staring at Alex with his mouth open.
But your man has to answer for his words, Burr

[Burr]
With his life?
We both know that's absurd, sir
"It kinda was absurd how we did things before."

[Hamilton]
Hang on, how many men died
because Lee was inexperienced and ruinous?

[Burr]
Okay, so we're doin' this
"You don't sound so sure Burr." "Oh, I can assure you Mulligan. I wasn't."

[Company]
Number nine!

[Hamilton]
Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
They all held their breath.
Then count

[Men]
One two three four

[Full Company]
Five six seven eight nine

[Hamilton Burr]
Number

[Company]
Ten paces!

[Hamilton Burr]
Fire!
Thomas took in a sharp breath. He was convinced that this was where John died.
