01<@Ardweden> [Heather sat down. Tyler said, "Um."]
 01<@Ardweden> [Continue!]
 06* Heather picks up an apple. "Hey. Are you alright?"
<Tyler> No. I'm not.
 06* Tyler doesn't sound angry or bitter or anything. Just simple.
<Heather> Oh.
 06* Heather stares at him for a second, then bites into her apple. A 
small bite.
<Tyler> I fucked up Bad. You should know how bad.
 06* Heather finishes chewing, takes another bite while Tyler talks, and 
swallows, before saying, "It's okay."
<Tyler> How is it okay? 
 06* Heather shrugs. "You had a lot on your mind. I understand."
<Tyler> Yeah... Why are you here?
<Heather> I need a favor.
 06* Heather starts in on her salad, watching Tyler while she chews.
<Tyler> What?
 06* Tyler is just staring at her now
 06* Heather finishes swallowing before speaking, because... I dunno, she 
has some manners, I guess? "I need a ride."
<Tyler> When and where too? Not sure I can drive well right now
 06* Heather takes a sip of water, then says plainly, "I need to get to 
Storeybrooke High after school. Preferably today. Are you up to it?"
 06* Tyler nods. "Sure. I can get you there. No questions."
 06* Heather grins. "Thanks." She then proceeds to eat her sandwich.
 01<@Ardweden> [A hush has fallen over some of the cafeteria; Heather and 
Tyler probably notice their table's gone quiet, too. A quick look around 
tells them why: Derek's asking Sydney out.]
 06* Tyler blinks and looks over to watch this.
 06* Heather turns her head to watch. She's not so interested that she 
stops eating her sandwich, though.
 01<@Ardweden> [Heather has her priorities straight.]
<Tyler> Hey Heather, what's that sandwich? brought it from home?
 06* Heather glances back at him. "Hm? No, I just didn't want the chili."
<Tyler> How did you get it instead of this crap?
 06* Tyler winces. "Oh man, poor Nate."
 06* Heather shrugs. "They have options, you can ask for...?" she trails 
off, glancing back at the other table.
<Tyler> wait you can ask for other things?
 06* Tyler stares at Heather like he's found the lost ark.
 06* Heather glances back. "Yeah." She snickers. "Wait, you didn't know? 
And you've gone to school here how many years?"
 06* Tyler shrugs. "I just didn't like their shit"
 06* Heather countershrugs. "Can't blame you there."
<Tyler> Hey... Heather. Who's taking you to homecoming?
 06* Heather finishes up her sandwich, then picks at her salad some more. 
"Tony. What about you?"
<Tyler> Don't know. Tif was getting me some one but she forgot I think
 06* Heather says, "Oh," then chews a lettuce leaf.
<Heather> Well, I guess you won't be going with Sydney.
<Tyler> No, going with her to a charity thing this Saturday.
<Heather> Hmm.... Like that one you took me to?
<Tyler> Yeah, only this is taking poor kids sailing. They aren't allowed 
to the event anyway so...
<Heather> Oh.
 06* Heather eats more salad. "Maybe you can find someone at 
Storybrooke."
 06* Heather finishes her salad, then goes back to chewing on her apple. 
Things come full circle!
<Tyler> I don't know. Why are you going there?
<Heather> I need to see someone.
<Tyler> Okay. Sure.
 06* Heather nods and finishes her apple.
 01<@Ardweden> [Heather eats an apple. METAPHOR?]
 01<@Ardweden> [End!]
