Chansaw

Chansaw is the femslash ship between Heather Chandler and Veronica Sawyer from the Heathers fandom.

Musical Act 1
When the Heather's come in during lunch, Veronica tells the audience who they are. When she gets to Heather Chandler, she calls her a mythic bitch. But she's never bothered or harrassed, and Veronica would give anything to be like that. In the bathroom, the bell rings and Ms. Flemings is about to give a detention to the Heathers for being late. Veronica then steps forward and gives her a forged Hall Pass for the four of them, which Ms. Flemings accets. Chandler takes the hall pass when she leaves and compliments the forgery. She asks who Veronica is, and Veronica introduces herself. She asks to sit at their table so that people will assume they tolerate her, which Chandler laughs at. Chandler notices that Veronica has some good bone structure, and grabs Veronica's face as she comes up with a makeover for her.

A few weeks later, Veronica is officially one of the Heather's clique. Chandler calls her over and tells her to forge a letter. Veronica does so and asks who it's for and Chandler tells her that she found out that Ram used to be friend with Martha in kindergarten. She calls over Ram and tells him to give the note to Martha, which Veronica protests. She takes it back and Chandler asks what she's doing. Veronica tells her not to do this to Martha, but Chandler interupts and asks if they're about to have a problem. The Heathers then convince Veronica to go through with it.

While playing Croquet, Chandler remarks on how attracted Veronica was to JD, but Veronica doesn't see it as a big deal since she doesn't even know his name. Veronica's parents come over and ask if they have any plans and Veronica says that Chandler's giving her a ride to Ram's homecoming party. Chandler then makes all of them leave to head to the party.

Chandler pulls out a pig pinata dressed like Martha for her to hit, but Veronica fights her over it. She asks what Chandler's damage is and throws the pinata in the pool. She tells Martha to go home, and then tells the Heathers she's leaving their clique. She attempts to leave, but Chandler grabs her and says that she's going to make Veronica's life hell. Veronica then throws up on Chandler who promptly screams. She yells that this is the payment she gets for raising Veronica from nothing and Veronica tells her to lick it up. Chandler gets close to her and says that she knows who she's eating lunch with on monday, but does Veronica? Veronica then looks around and quickly runs away.

After having sex with JD, Veronica has a dream about Chandler who mocks her for sleeping with JD. She says she'll crucify her, and Veronica asks why she wants to hurt her. Chandler says that it's because she can. She starts maniachly laughing when Veronica wakes up with a scream.

Veronica goes over to Chandler's house, where a hungover Chandler is. Veronica says she's there to apologize, and Chandler yells down that if she makes her a hangover cure she'll think about it. Veronica makes it with JD where they joke about giving her cleaning supplies for a "cure". Chandler calls for Veronica who accidentally grabs the mug filled with cleaner fluid and heads up to her. Chandler tells Veronica to beg, and Veronica starts to talk, but Chandler interrupts and says she'd prefer if Veronica did it on her knees. Veronica start to apologize, when Chandler laughs and asks if she looks like she's kidding. She tells her to go down again and Veronica does so. Chandler is happy, but Veronica is still dead to her. She takes the drink from her hand and downs it, only to immediately start falling. She grabs onto Veronica, then falls to the ground. Dead!

Veronica realizes that the drink was drainer fluid and yells for JD to call 911. She starts trying to shake Chandler awake, but she's gone. Veronica can't believe she killed her best friend, and JD points out that she was also her worst enemy, which annoys Veronica. He then gets the idea to fake a suicide note and convinces Veronica to do so.
