As they all sat in the theatre the parents were suspicious of what was happening. Except for Larry, he seem disinterested as he sat with his arms crossed over his chest. This was the chart,

Parents, Sal, Jared, Zoe, Connor, Y/n, Evan 

The beginning music had started. 

[HEIDI:]

Have you been writing those letters to yourself? "Dear Evan Hansen, this is gonna be a good day and here's why..."

Heidi looked startled with this song and bit her lip, she was already feeling vulnerable. 

[EVAN:]
I started one.

[HEIDI:]
Those letters are important, honey. They're gonna help you build your confidence.

Connor's eyes briefed Evan's but no words were spoken.

[EVAN:]
I guess.

[HEIDI:]
Can we try to have an optimistic outlook, huh?
Can we buck up just enough to see the world won't fall apart?
Maybe this year, we decide
We're not giving up before we've tried
This year, we make a new start

"You have a great voice" Larry complimented. Heidi flushed and crossed her arms. 

[HEIDI:]
Hey! I know! You can go around today and ask the other kids to sign your cast. How 'bout that?

[EVAN:]
Perfect.

"Wow Acorn you are soooo great at hiding sarcasm" Jared drawled.

"S-shut up Jared"

"Feisty. just how I like it"  

[HEIDI:]
I'm proud of you already.

[EVAN:]
Oh, good...

[HEIDI:]
Another stellar conversation for the scrapbook
Another stumble as I'm reaching for the right thing to say
I'm kinda coming up empty
Can't find my way to you

Heidi frowned and watched with articulated eyes, pained at how far she had let him go. 

Does anybody have a map?
Anybody maybe happen to know how the hell to do this?
I don't know if you can tell
But this is me just pretending to know

Zoe felt a bit uncomfortable at this already emotional start. 

So where's the map?
I need a clue
'Cause the scary truth is
I'm flying blind
And I'm making this up as I go

[CYNTHIA:]
It's your senior year, Connor. You are not missing the first day.

Connor snickered softly.

[CONNOR:]
I already said I'd go tomorrow.

Sal scoffed "Not a real good grade keeper Murphy eh?"

[LARRY:]
He doesn't listen. Look at him, he's probably high.

Connor crossed his arms, he wasn't at the time but why bother correcting when it didn't matter? 

[ZOE:]
He's definitely high.

Evan cocked his head to the side slightly, he thought that she would've stood up for him but then he grimly remembered about their bed conversation. 

[CYNTHIA:]
I don't want you going to school high, Connor.

[CONNOR:]
Perfect, so then I won't go. Thanks, Mom!

"Loophole oh Loophole where art thou Loophole?" Connor cooed falsely, making Y/n smile a little. 

[CYNTHIA:]
Another masterful attempt ends with disaster

Jared clapped sarcastically. 

[LARRY:]
Interstate's already jammed.

Cynthia detested Larry's simple wave off.

[CYNTHIA:]
Pour another cup of coffee
And watch it all crash and burn

"Nothing more I could do" she whispered brokenly.

[ZOE:]
Connor finished the milk!

Sal and Jared laughed. Though the sentence was bitter it still made them laugh she got fed up over something so simple. 

[CYNTHIA:]
It's a puzzle, it's a maze
I tried to steer through it a million ways
But each day's another wrong turn

Heidi nodded, feeling the similar but the drastic differences in both households.

[LARRY:]
I better head out.

Larry's face remained cold.

[ZOE:]
If Connor's not ready, I'm leaving without him.

"What sibling love" Jared mused.

[CYNTHIA:]
Does anybody have a map?
Anybody maybe..

[HEIDI:]
Anybody have a map?

[BOTH:]
..happen to know how the hell to do this?
I don't know if you can tell
But this is me just pretending to know

[HEIDI:]
So where's the map?

[CYNTHIA:]
I need a clue

[BOTH:]
'Cause the scary truth is

[CYNTHIA:]
I'm flying blind
I'm flying blind

[HEIDI:]
I'm flying blind
I'm flying..

[BOTH:]
I'm flying blind
And I'm making this up as I go
As I go

"I loved the mash-up even if it was about hurt and confusion" Y/n smiled softly. Couple heads nodded in return but some couldn't exchange the love. They can already tell that a whole lot of closed emotional gashes were about to be opened...
