What might things have been like if Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr had become lifelong friends rather than bitter enemies?

After being rejected for a military command by President Adams, could Burr have fallen in with Federalists critical (as Hamilton was, right?) of Adams in New York? Perhaps in 1790, New York State Attorney General Burr is recruited into the Federalists rather running for Hamilton's father in law's Senate seat in 1791?

Or maybe Burr does get the command, becomes personally invested in the United States' standing army, and as an opponent of Thomas Jefferson and appointee of Adams falls in with Hamilton that way?

What could that partnership of powerful personalities have gotten up to in the early republic?
