Tyson was about to say what kind of batteries when she pulled out both sets, his lips parting slightly. "You're fucking kidding me." He muttered, shaking his head. "What about a...screw driver? Flat head?" He asked her, betting there was no way she had something like that in her purse.

Audrey tossed the batteries into her bag and actually pulled at a chain that was attached to the handle of the purse, pull her keys, and a ton of random shit, attached to the end of it. "Does this count?" She asked, pulling out this multitool her mom had given her one Christmas in her stocking, which would sound weird to other people, but it was honestly the norm in her family. "It has a flat head screwdriver I think." She pulled one of the tools out of itsa side pocket like an army knife, and there was a flat head screwdriver.

Tyson just stared at her, shaking his head in disbelief. "You can't be serious..." He couldn't believe that Audrey had a fucking screw driver because that swiss army knife definitely counted. "Okay...what about a...rubber duck?" He asked because there was no way she could have something like that in her bag, it made absolutely no sense. He held up a hand, being so sure, "if you have a rubber duck I'll give you a bag of hot cheetos every week."

Audrey beamed with pride as she tucked the multitool back into her purse as he rattled something off. "No. Not a rubber ducky." She shook her head, but started digging in one of the pockets on the sides of her purse. "But I do have like, one of this little duckies." She pulled out a little purple duckie, the one people hid in their bosses office for a Tik Tok video. She'd found it at her doctor's office, and decided to take it.

Tyson narrowed his eyes at the little purple duck but shook his head, "of course you do but that one doesn't count." He told her then frowned, "where the hell did you get that anyway?" He asked, looking down at her purse with suspicion, wondering if she had a full flock hiding inside of it.

Audrey pouted when he said her little duckie didn't count. "I think you count." She told the little purple duck before patting it on its tiny little head with a finger before tossing it into her purse. "My doctor's office, it was just sitting in the window in one of the rooms." She shrugged her shoulders, not thinking much about the fact that she just took it.

Tyson raised an eyebrow, "well I specifically wanted a rubber duck." He pointed out to her but paused, looking at Audrey. "So you...stole the duck?" He questioned, wondering if he doctor even noticed that the duck was missing.

"Fine," Audrey rolled her eyes, seeing he was kind of right, though this was just a very tiny hard version of said rubber duck. "I mean. Technically yes," She shrugged "BUT, there were a lot of them all over the office. I'm pretty sure I was a prank." She pointed out, thinking the little duck wouldn't be missed. "It did have a number on the bottom, but I washed that off." She giggled, wondering if whoever was supposed to find them was stressing about where duck number twenty-three.

Tyson smirked a little when she said he was right, he knew he was but it stroked his ego when she said it. "Weird prank." He replied, moving on to the next part of the exhibit, wondering how leaving around a bunch of ducks was a prank but he wasn't going to question it just in case she thought it would be funny to do to him.

"It's okay, I know my humor is kind of broken." Audrey thought the stupidest joke was funny. She laughed at dad jokes, though there were a few that had her shaking her head at. She was the kind of girl that guys liked because she laughed at almost everything. She didn't think it would be funny to pull such a prank on him, unless it was something he actually wanted.

Tyson chuckled a little, "you said it, not me." He glanced back her over his shoulder. "Though I guess there's some things you do that are funny." He added, not wanting it to seem like he was ragging on her because he did like her, or else he wouldn't be walking with her or bringing her chips.

Audrey raised an eyebrow, "Tell me, what have I done that's funny?" She asked, wondering if it was something she could do again, trying to figure out what it was. She was happy that Tyson seemed to like her, feeling a little thump her in chest. She wasn't going to fall for another friend, he wouldn't want to date her anyways. She thought about her ex and how she ended their friend group by falling for her.

"Hmmm," Tyson tilted his head, as if he was giving it a really deep thought. "I don't know, you just always are." He told her when his phone buzzed. He glanced down at it and started to walk, "the show is starting in ten minutes." He told Audrey as he walked.

Audrey beamed with pride when he said she always was funny, "Sweet, nap time!" She joked, quickly falling into step with him as they made their way over to the planetarium. A group of people were already filing into the theater, and Audrey instinctively grabbed Tyson's hand like she would Victoria's, to avoid getting lost. "There's a couple of seats." She pointed out two on the back row.

Tyson rolled his eyes at Audrey, part of him hoping that she wouldn't actually fall asleep. He searched for a place to sit when she suddenly took his hand and pointed out where to go. "Okay." He responded as he headed towards that spot and sat down in one of the beats, setting his backpack by his feet.

Audrey took the seat next to him, placing her big ass purse on the floor in front of her, basically blocking the path, not caring if it was a hazard or not. She leaned back in the seat and sighed, "These are nice seats, it's going to be impossible not to fall asleep." She teased, knowing she was going to force herself to stay awake through the whole thing, just for Tyson.

Tyson looked down at her purse, wondering the guidelines before a purse was considered a duffle bag. He leaned back in his seat, looking at Audrey with a slight frown. "Uh huh." He replied, figuring she'd probably be asleep in seconds, even before the show started. He glanced back towards the center of the room as the show started, projecting the galaxy as if they were floating inside of it.

Audrey yawned the second the lights came on, but she forced her eyes to stay open, watching as the galaxy was projected onto the ceiling, and she had to admit it was impressive how it felt like they were actually out there in space. "Wow." She whispered, her eyes unable to focus on just one star long enough before her eyes found another. She'd never been interested in space before but this was something she could see herself watching again.

"Yeah." Tyson said softly as he looked up at all of the spinning stars and galaxies, wondering if this was how it was really like in outer space. He'd never want to actually go, the idea of living in a space ship with other people made his skin crawl but he could only imagine the things they'd seen out there in real life rather than a projection. He sunk down lower in his seat as his eyes widened and he couldn't help himself as he murmured the names of certain constellations.

When Tyson started naming off the constellations, she scooted a little closer so she could hear him, recognizing a few of them, though she didn't realize just how many constellations there were. She had to wonder who and why people named them things like Ursa Minor, or the big dipper. She'd have to remember to ask Tyson later, assuming he knew the answer of course.

Spotting the movement from the corner of his eye Tyson leaned a little closer to Audrey so she could hear him better as he pointed out a couple of things as the projection kept going, shifting into a more colorful galaxy. He went quiet as he looked at it all, eyes widening as he took in this image that he'd never seen before, wondering where it was out in space and how they had found it.

Audrey felt her chest flutter a little when Tyson leaned closer, a smile curing at her lips as he started telling her more about what was being shown, pointing out different things to her. She wished the narrator would shut up and let Tyson take over, because she found herself a little more interested in the stars with him talking about it. It wasn't long before Audrey's head was laying on Tyson's shoulder as she continued to listen to him rattle off random knowledge.

"It's amazing..." Tyson said softly as he watched the stars and galaxies flow over them, finding it almost incomprehensible that this all existed in the real world but just out of sight. He sat in silence as the projection played around them but glanced down at Audrey when he felt her head on his shoulder but didn't say anything about it as he enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Audrey couldn't stop her smile from growing at his words, it reached her eyes, and her heart skipped. She put that to a stop instantly, making herself take a deep breath. She didn't move though, watching the show until the end, and when the lights turned on, she slowly sat up, feeling tired all of the sudden. She turned to Tyson and gave him a small smile. "That was actually really cool." She couldn't believe she would actually go out in space if she could.

Tyson sighed from disappointment when the show finally ended, not wanting it to be done but he knew how he real life worked. He decided to come back another day and watch it all again. He looked over at Audrey when he felt the weight of her head off his shoulder but smiled back a little. "So I was right." He joked as he got up, stretching his arms above his head, his shoulders popping and making him sigh as his shirt rode up a little to expose a bit of his stomach.

Audrey wasn't sure why, but something seemed to be tugging her in a certain direction, but she didn't know how to follow it. She eyed Tyson from the side as he stretched his arms above his head, eyeing the bit of exposed skin and all thoughts of something tugging was replaced with another feeling. She turned her eyes to her purse, forcing herself to not think about those thoughts as she grabbed the straps to her bag and stood up next to him. "You are always right." She smiled, really admiring that about him, how smart he really was, and she couldn't stop herself from thinking if she applied herself too, would she be just as smart?

"My brother would tell you otherwise." Tyson chuckled and grabbed his backpack. "I think it's time for lunch now but I want to come back and look at space exhibit." He told her, pausing slightly as he looked at Audrey. "You don't...have to force yourself to hang out with me you know."

Audrey instantly thought about the space exhibit, wondering if it might have more information on what to expect if you went out into space. What did you see, experience, or even do out there. At first, his words didn't mean anything, she just smiled a little, her thoughts moving onto lunch at the mention of it, but when he said she didn't have to hang out with him, she crossed her arms and glared at him. "I like hanging out with you." Plus, she really wanted to see the exhibit now too.

For a second Tyson felt like he was two inches tall with the way Audrey was glaring at him. He swallowed slightly as he looked back at her, "okay." He said with a slight swallow before starting to head out of the planetarium.

Audrey gave him a puzzled look at his reaction, she wasn't sure if it was the glaring or the fact that she said she liked hanging out with that that made him seem to shrink a little. She wasn't sure what to do but followed him out of the planetarium, following into step with them as they all filed out. A few minutes later and she couldn't stand it and grabbed his hand. "Hey, I mean it. I really do enjoy spending time with you, so don't say I was forced to do anything." she smiled, hoping he got the message this time, she wasn't angry at him, just at the audacity that he would assume she was forced to hang out with him.
