The silence was pretty welcoming, even with company involved and the odd chorus of chewing and swallowing. What Sheldon offered was the drinking his soda, and the high pitched sound that occurred when there wasn't anything left to drink. He shook his cup a little, letting the ice settle into new positions before daring to take another sip to see if there was anything left.
"Bumblebee?" Sheldon queried, setting his cup back down as he tried to get her reference. It took a moment for the connection between cars, the color yellow and that name to click. "Oh." Sadly, he might be nerd in some respects, but Transformers was not his forte; he'd seen the movies a few times and the toys and commercials for the animated series... and passed on all the games.
"I guess it depends on the color, wouldn't it? A different shade of yellow might make it not look like it." Though, going to different shades and tints of yellow often made the color look horrid, and from the looks of Ellie's bike.. she liked the bright shade. "Also depends on the shape of the car and such." Sheldon shrugged.

"Well... if I was makin' myself a truck or somethin' tall, it wouldn't look like Bumblebee." This was definitely a fact.
"However, a tall car doesn't go fast. Th'lower and sleeker, th'faster it goes." It wasn't an accurate way of stating the rules, but it was easier to understand than going into the full details of body shape. "And since Bumblebee was small and pretty low an' sleek... I suspect I'm doomed unless th'secondary color ain't black."
This time, instead of pinching her fries, she just took a handful and began stuffing them in her mouth. She placed two long fries about where her canine teeth were.
"Look, I'm totally a walrus!"

"I'm pretty sure other yellow cars exist in the world besides Bumblebee," Sheldon offered as he finished his second frie!burger. With that done and his coke nearly empty, all that was left was the remainder of the fries, which he then moved onto.
The boy tried to stifle a snicker at her juvenile act, but couldn't really hide it. He was in a good mood, so found no reason to be a sore puss even if the whole walrus thing was a little old and stale. "You pull it off a little too well, I think." He smirked, pulling out the last handfull of fries and stuffing them in his own mouth little by little.

Ellie stuffed the remaining two fries into her mouth, but eventually flashed her teeth at him in a big grin. "Guess that means I'm a fat a**! Sweet!" She had never been insulted about her width before, because it was honestly far from the truth. Yes, the tomboy was tall, but she definitely wasn't overweight by any means.
Laughing a bit, she proceeded to stuff more fries into her mouth before attacking burger number three. She managed to finish half of the new burger in 2 bites. "...but yeah... there are other yellow cars... mos' people call 'em taxis or buses." She sighed slightly. "It sucks that gay vehicles are tied in with th'color yellow..."

"You'll be the size of a bus in no time, with the rate you're going." Sheldon smirked, keeping the air of the jest. As he was finished with his food, he simply pushed his tray off to the side of the table and out of his way. His elbows took the tray's place and he rested his chin in the palm of his hand.
"And you also have to worry about that Pikachu car too." He chuckled. And then once again worried for his safety.

Another large bite of the burger and she paused to give her acquaintance a big grin. "You'd think that, right?" It sounded as if she wasn't convinced, or if she had some sort of inside information. With that, she devoured the last of her burgers.
Three burgers, all gone without any hint of struggle.
Smacking her lips and licking the juices that had managed to drip onto her fingers, she then clarified what she had meant. "Naw... I don't really grow wider usually. Mom says that I usually get really hungry when I'm going through a growth spurt... so usually when I eat like this... it means I'm gettin' taller, not fatter." It was a bit difficult to think of an already tall girl (of 5'10") going through a growth spurt. Apparently Ellie was just meant to be an Amazon of some sort.
"F*ck that kid's show... what is it... Tiny Monsters?" She waved a hand dismissively at her green haired companion before stuffing the last of her fries (in one container) in her mouth. She still had one more packet of fries left to go.

Another growth spurt? Sheldon's eyebrow raised even though his smile still remained, "Are you hoping to become the 50 foot woman?" For some reason, the image of a gigantic Ellie swatting at helicopters came to mind and he couldn't help but laugh. Aa, that would be too funny.
But, back to the real world. "Pocket Monsters," He corrected, not the least bit ashamed that he knew that. Yup, he played the games from time to time. They were mindless games to pass the boredom when there wasn't anything much else to do and staring at walls had even run out of its usefulness.
And that was when Sheldon dared to sneak a fry from Ellie's last carton.

Casually, Ellie flicked Sheldon's fingers away from her french fry container. However, she was too busy laughing to really address the issue of fry-theft.
"Ellie SMASH!" She pounded her other hand against the table as she continued to laugh. Apparently, she thought a 50-foot version of herself would be pretty hilarious. She even seemed to ignore the mention of Pocket Monsters.
By the time she was done laughing, she was already standing up and walking to the counter to get a to-go bag. "I probably should get goin', Hobbes... got sh*t t'do and junk."

Failed. Sheldon frowned, pouted a little even when she defended her fries but it all turned back into an amused grin when she imitated the Hulk. "She-hulk works as well I suppose, though I don't think you can really pull off all the green."
Seeing that she was finally finished, well kind of, the teen took that as a happy sign that he would be able to exit the building as well. "Yeah, me too," he had been there longer than he anticipated - his order was originally to go after all.
"Well, the going part, like I ever have things to do." He flashed her a smile as he headed towards the door.

With her paper bag at hand, she quickly shoved her remaining fries in the brown paper and jogged to catch up with the green haired guy.
"I don't need t'pull off green. You do it well enough fer th'both of us!" If she was a touchy-feely sort of chick, she would have done something to muss up his hair. However, that wasn't her style. It would have felt gay to do that. A laugh and a grin was more her style, both of which she did.
Her fingers were already dipping into her paper bag, pulling out more french fries and popping them in her mouth.
"So... where's yer bike?" Curiously, she began to look about the parking lot, finding nothing there that remotely resembled what she considered a true-blue bike.

If Ellie had tried something with his hair, there wouldn't have been much of a reward; it was messy beyond all reason to begin with. She probably also wouldn't want to touch his hair by any means.
"Oh," So this was the moment of truth, he realized as the duo began to grow closer towards the bike that she had laughed at when she had first arrived. It was matte black, in the obvious transition of getting a new paint job by an amateur and had an old fashioned helmet sitting on one of the handles.
Sheldon gestured with his hands at his new ride, his odd sense of mellow pride on his face ... while his mind braced for the laughter that was soon to follow [he had gone over this with Shawn. He could handle it ... again].

"FFFFFFFFFFFFF*CK!!!!!!"
Bending forward, the tomboy let out a rather loud hoot and holler at Sheldon's expense. None could accuse her of being considerate, for she continued to laugh. In fact, she laughed for about 3 minutes without stopping.
Eventually, she stood back up, rubbing a knuckle under her eyes, as if rubbing away any extra waters that might have built up thanks to that laughter. "Hobbes, Hobbes, Hobbes... this ain't a bike. Hate t'break it t'ya. This... this is a scooter!" She rather firmly patted his shoulder.
"Next time, ya should get a real ride..."

Yup, he had been expecting this. So, Sheldon just stood there and shoved his hands in his pockets as Ellie let all the laughter out. He glanced around as the minutes ticked by, seeing if anyone else was watching this or even if there was anyone else finding the scene amusing.
Finally, she was finished and Sheldon shrugged his response, "It has wheels, it works as a ride. Other rides take to much work," he began to explain. "I don't need to get a license or anything for this thing."
Really, there was beauty to his plan. Ellie was just not seeing it.

Considering how different their philosophies were about things, it was obvious why Ellie couldn't see on the same level as Sheldon. "Right, forgot ya don't like doin' nothin'! Eesh! Ain't nothin' in this world that ain't worth havin' if ya don't work for it!" She shrugged a bit as she pulled out a few fries from her bag.
"Whatever, Hobbes. Enjoy yer toy and hopefully it don't break after 10 miles!" Obviously the tomboy had such a high opinion about mopeds. With that, she turned away and waved a hand so that Sheldon could see.
"See ya 'round, Hobbes!"
After all, she always did.
