Heathers The Musical One Shot

Grass tickled the back of your knees as you lay by Veronica's side, the sun falling lightly onto your faces but a whirling evening breeze keeping you both nice and cool.

"Nothing like some after school cloud watching to de-stress ay Veronica?" You gently nudged her side, she smiled and rested her head on your belly, occasionally pointing her finger towards the sky to point out that a certain cloud looked like a cow or a table, but she mostly stayed silent.

"What's on your mind?" You asked her, running your hands through her hair, stopping occasionally to twirl a strand of her curly locks around your finger.

"Nothing."

"Come on, it can't be school. You're top of the class in everything except gym and I've met your parents, so I don't think it's your home life." She just shrugged and stared up towards the sapphire sea that was the sky.

"Look, we've been best friends since pretty much pre-k. You can tell me, I wont judge I promise." She sighed and sat up, strands of grass hung onto her back and sat neatly tucked into her hair.

"I'm not sure I'm cut out to be one of the Heathers..." She ran her hands down the royal blue tunic that had been bestowed upon her by one of the terrible trio all the way to the edge of her matching skirt.

"How come? I think you make a wonderful Heather, what did they say to you?"

"Well for one, my name isn't Heather."

"Well fine; Heather, Heather, Heather and Veronica... doesn't sound too out of place. Besides, I know when you're lying to me and you know that I don't like it so spit it out." She slumped back down onto you, this time pushing her head into you and curling up beside you.

"There is absolutely no way that I'm anywhere near pretty enough to be one of them."

You ran your hand up and down her cheek. "You said it yourself, you are beautiful. Way more beautiful than the three of those plastic trolls."

"Don't be ridiculous."

"Forget your exterior, which is beyond perfection. You are beautiful because of who you are inside. Forget them, you have found new power in your friendship here, and I know that you're going to use it for good. To stand up for the little guys... to stand up for the pre-Heather Veronica's of this world."
