Tyson kicked at a little rock as he waited to get on the bus that would be taking the kids in his grade to the local museum as a field trip. He was looking forward to seeing all that there was but especially the planetarium. He'd looked it up online and the shows they had looked good, plus he was currently obsessed with all things space and wanted to see the swirling galaxy and planets, he just wasn't looking forward to sitting on a charter bus with a bunch of loud classmates. He sighed a little as he waited for his turn to board but did glance around the crowd, wondering if Audrey was going to show up or skip this whole thing. On the off chance she was and wanted to hang out with him he'd come prepared-even though their budding friendship was confusing to him.

Audrey was one of the first ones on the charter bus, having the desire to get a seat she wanted before anyone else could. She picked one between the middle and back area seats, sliding into the window seat and placing her bag down, ready to claim she was saving it. She didn't care if it upset people, but she wasn't going to sit with just anyone. While other students started piling in, she pulled out a bag of Hot Cheetos and started munching away, looking out the window and tried to see if she saw Tyson in line, although she told herself she was also looking for Tahlia, or even Darius to share a seat with.

When he finally got on the bus Tyson looked around for a place to sit, hoping he wasn't going to be stuck next to someone he didn't like. Even if he was stuck sitting towards the front of the bus he'd take that to sit alone. He scratched the back of his head, not seeing Audrey right away as he looked for a spot but a bit of panic bubbled up inside of him when he didn't see a spot right away.

As Audrey dug into her almost empty bag of chips, she spotted Tyson looking around for a seat. "Perfect," She said to herself, a huge smile spreading on her face. "Tyson!" She called out his name, waving a hand for him to spot her, hoping he'd see there was an open seat next to her. She didn't care if some of the other students looked at her funny, giving them a quick glare before turning back to make sure Tyson had seen her.

Tyson almost jumped out of his skin, looking up in confusion when he heard his name until he saw Audrey, unable to stop himself from smiling a little. Of course she was the one who'd yell for him. He walked over to her row of seats, spotting one open near her and sat down. "Hi Audrey." He glanced down at her bag of chips then at his fingers, raising an eyebrow, "why am I not surprised you brought those?" He chuckled.

Audrey pulled her bag from the seat before he sat down, smiling when he said her name, though raised an eyebrow when he noticed the bag of Cheetos. “I’m getting low though.” She pouted, wishing she had a chance to get more before this fieldtrip, but she hadn’t been able to leave class in order to get to the store. She got comfortable on the seat, moving so she was facing him and leaning against the window and wall of the bus. “Are you excited for this?” She asked, a huge smile on her face, having a feeling he was.

"Already?" He raised an eyebrow as he settled into his seat but pulled his back pack onto his lap. "I didn't think you'd get through a bag so fast." He unzipped his backpack and pulled out a new bag of Hot Cheetos and held them out to Audrey. A small smile found its way onto his lips when she asked if he was excited and nodded his head. "Yeah, I want to see the Planetarium."

Audrey smirked but rolled her eyes, "I've been snacking on them all day." She informed him as she balled the empty bag into a ball before pushing it to the bottom of her purse, planning to toss it later, but also hoping she wouldn't forget it and have crumbs all over the bottom of her bag. She turned back to face him, and found him holding out a new bag of chips for her. Her lips curled into a smile as she took the bag from him. "Awww, thanks." She immediately put the bag into her purse, not ready to open it up just yet. "Ah, planets, stars, space. Nothing." She chuckled, not really caring about what there was out there, but she liked how excited he was for it. "Do they have like, those planet shows where you sit back and watch the stars above you." She asked, pulling out a small package of wet wipes from her giant bag of goodies, using the last of one to clean her hands.

"So I should have known better." Tyson replied, thinking next time it would be more practical to get the family sized bag rather than the regular one. "You're welcome." He added, leaning back in his seat a little and dropping his back pack on the floor between his legs. "There isn't nothing in space, it's the opposite, space has everything, it's never ending." He told Audrey, perking up a little bit, wondering if that was really true and how it could be true, it was hard for him to wrap his mind around it. "Yeah, they're supposed to have a show while we're there." He said, having already looked up the museum and everything they had to offer while they'd be there.

Audrey leaned her head against the seat and smiled, "Yeah, you should have known," She teased, tucking her legs under herself, the bus now filled with students, started up and headed out of the parking lot. She couldn't stop the smile growing when he talked about space, happy at how excited he seemed about space. "So basically we're going to the show. Obviously." She decided Tyson was going to be her museum buddy, it's what he gets for sitting down next to her, but the fact he had gotten her chips had her feeling a little warmth towards him.

"Well now I know for next time." Tyson replied as he looked at Audrey, trying to ignore all the loud voices around him that made him decide that he didn't like the bus, feeling like he was in a tin can filled with nothing but yelling toddlers. "We?" He replied with a raised eyebrow, not thinking Audrey would have any interest in the museum or planetarium, "you want to go?"

Audrey could have kissed him then, but held off knowing he'd probably pull away from her. She easily turned out everyone on the bus, though movement in her line of sight often pulled her attention away. "Of course, what else am I going to do?" She asked, grabbing her purse and searching through it again, "Walk around by myself, bored?" she teased as she pulled out a piece of gum, knowing that is exactly what would happen.

"Well that or sneak off somewhere to take a nap." Tyson joked a little, figuring she would have paired up with Tahlia, but to him that just spelled trouble and he had a feeling if those two were together Darius would eventually find them and Tyson didn't know how to feel about that. He took his phone from his pocket, pulling up the book marked tab for the museum and looked through what exhibits were up and the scheduling for the shows at the planetarium.

Audrey stared at him with a shocked look in her eyes, "Wow, you are so smart! Take a nap, I like that." Her smile was big, reaching her eyes as she thought about the best place there was to take a nap. "I bet I could sleep during the show on planets." It would be dark, for the most part quiet, she could sleep during class she was sure she could sleep through this. "Then, you can wake me up when it's over." She pointed out, leaning closer to him to look over at his phone when she noticed it was about the museum. "Is there an exhibit you'd want to walk through? I could suffer walking if you want company." She said, feeling her chest tighten at the offer, knowing she'd complain the entire time, but she wanted to spend time with Tyson. He was fun, super smart, and really sweet at times.

Tyson glanced up at Audrey from his phone, he didn't think she was making fun of him but it caught him off guard. "Why would you sleep during the planetarium show?" He asked, "that's going to probably be the best thing in the whole place, you can't sleep." He told her with a slight frown, not understanding how someone couldn't like the show or the planets. He angled his phone towards her when she leaned over, "dinosaurs," he said, liking them almost as much as space, and they have a temporary hockey exhibit."

Audrey raised an eyebrow, but shrugged her shoulders, "Because I'm tired?" She chuckled, thinking how it was more because she didn't enjoy learning all the time. She groaned with annoyance when he said she couldn't sleep and rolled her eyes dramatically. "Fiiiiiine, only cause you're being so nice about it." She joked, narrowing her eyes at him, though had a smirk on her face. "Dinosaurs are cool, I'll look at dinosaurs with you." She didn't mind a few things, dinosaurs were kind of awesome, the whole being dead thing and just having your bones on display, and creating a weird fanbase about it.

"You don't look tired." Tyson pointed out as he lifted his head, looking at her with a slight frown. There were no dark circles under her eyes and she hadn't been yawning so he didn't think she'd really nap. His eyes automatically narrowing back at hers, "good, dinosaurs are cool." He nodded, satisfied with her answer. "I would ask if there's anything you'd want to see but I think I know your answer."

Audrey laughed jokingly and rolled her eyes dramatically, a smile on her face. "Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment to my makeup skills." She joked, feeling a little tired even though she had left the party early last night. "I am still tired, and I can still sleep." She had already decided she wouldn't though, feeling like Tyson really wanted to experience this, and she wanted to experience it with him too. "If I am forced to do something, I don't mind walking around the exhibits." It didn't mean she was going to learn anything, since she was just going to look, and not read. The last field trip she'd taken it was at her old school, and she and her exgirlfriend made out the entire time.

Tyson frowned at her, leaning in to look at her a little closer, "if you're tired then you should sleep on the way there." He told her before leaning back, thinking that she could get sick if she didn't get enough sleep then that would lean to missed classes and getting behind on homework. "If you say so." He said with a slight shrug, making a mental note to try to take it slow for her.

Audrey didn't move when he leaned in, taking this time to take his own features in, exploring his lips, his nose, his eyes. She liked his eyes the most, even while his features looked hard, his eyes always seem to soften their blue edges for her. "I’m just a little tired, don't worry about it." she told him, planning to pull out her energy drink she had chilling in her purse in a second. "What other exhibits were you wanting to see." She knew he had more than one he planned to visit, feeling the pressure of walking all day, but she knew she'd miss him if she left.

"Hmph." Tyson was noncommittal in his response to her, knowing he was going to keep an eye on her while thy were exploring the museum. "I wanted to see the hockey exhibit," he told her, "and the one on Rome." He wanted to see all of the museum but knew he'd have to plan things out to make sure he could see everything in the time that they had.

"Well, guess we'll have to come back, I know how heartbroken you are about that," Audrey teased with a giggle, though she did wonder if he'd want to come back with her. She felt the bus lurch to a stop and looked outside, finding the museum before them. "So, what are we doing first?" She asked, having a feeling he'd figured out a plan that worked around the planetarium show.

Tyson scrunched his nose, if he had it his way they'd see everything today. He glanced out the window when the bus stopped and he saw the museum doors. "Dinosaurs, they're the closest exhibit to the entrance." He explained as he got up but took a step back from their seat so that Audrey could get off the bus first.

Audrey grabbed her purse, looking around to make sure she didn't leave anything behind, even though her purse could hold everything she'd need to bunker down for months. She turned to get up into the walkway and found Tyson waiting for her. She smiled and stepped into the walkway, heading for the front of the bus. "Well, at least I can take a nap after walking around the bones." She teased, knowing it would annoy him to think she would fall asleep.

Tyson smiled back a little at Audrey as she stopped in front of him and followed her off the bus but that smile turned into a frown. "Take a nap during lunch break." He said, knowing there was supposed to be one in a couple hours in the grassy area behind the museum that held the rose garden and a few statues. He stepped around her and started to make his way into the museum, folding up the brochure and tucking it into his back pocket.

"But that's so far away," Audrey groaned jokingly, a smile spread on her face at the idea, "Plus, that's when we eat." Though she was sure there would be plenty of time for her to sleep, if Tyson didn't get up and walk away of course. "Probably won't be a good lunch anyways." She rolled her eyes, wondering if the school had prepared basic sandwiches with unflavored chips to go with it. At least she had the bag of Cheetos Tyson brought for her. She shifted her purse on her shoulder before turning towards Tyson, "How long have you been hanging onto these chips"?" She asked, wondering if he had them in case he ran into her at some point.

Tyson rolled his eyes, "it's not that bad." He told her as he went down a hall on the right that opened up into a dinosaur exhibit and he came to a stop, staring up at the gaping jaws of a T-Rex. He examined the teeth and the skull then walked around the fossil, wondering what the animal really looked like when it roamed the earth. He glanced back at Audrey, shrugging his shoulders. "They're not expired if that's what you're worried about." He replied, not wanting to admit that he'd gotten them this morning since he had been sure he'd see her today.

Audrey followed Tyson, knowing nothing about the museum or the layout, but figured if she got lost at least it would be with him. "Blisters are bad though." She mentioned, knowing she should have probably not worn her knew wedges today, but she had to break them in somehow. She hadn't realized he stopped until she ran into his back, looking up to see the back of his head, followed by the giant jaws of the T-Rex. "Whoa." She said, thinking about the guy on the toilet dying in the Jurassic Park movies. She didn't move right away when he started walking around investigating the bones as if he could deduce the real look of the creature, "I'm not worried about them being expired." She stuck her tongue out at him before following after him, though stayed a few steps behind, only caring to know when he got them to see how long he waited to give them to her.

"Tell me if you get one, I have band aids." He told her, reaching behind him and patting his backpack that went almost everywhere with him. Some people snickered at him but they wouldn't laugh when they needed something that he happened to have. He glanced over at Audrey when she stuck her tongue out at him, raising an eyebrow, "I got them this morning." He told her bluntly, ready for her to tease him so he moved on to the next set of fossils, craning his neck up to see the full size of a pterodactyl skeleton.

Audrey eyed him from the side, her stupid heart doing a flutter at the fact that he offered Band-Aids for her blisters when no one else had, though mostly because she had everything under the sun in her purse. She eyed his backpack and felt a kinship towards it, since it was just like her and her purse. "Awwww," She grabbed his arm and squeezed it in a quick hug before letting him go, knowing he wouldn't want to be touched for long. "I knew you liked me." She teased, looking up to see the giant pterodactyl skeleton.
