Chel just watched the interaction with a bewildered sort of look before letting out a laugh. She tried to cover her mouth with a hand to stifle the laughter but it leaked out in giggles.
"You what buddy?" she asked him.

There's an awkward pause with America giving him an expectant smile and and Chel giggling, but eventually there's a bit of shiftiness to match his shy and he says, "Um, my mom'll be home in an hour and a half." And then, "But you can use the pool until then." His eyes went wide, as if shocked at what he just said, "Or like...not. It's cool." Smooth. "Whatever." Grin going wide, America beams at the coolguy attempt. "Thanks hun." After a second it occures to her to ask, "Did your family live here 'bout twenty years back?" Near paralyzed, his earlier cool spent, the boy just shakes his head.

Chel laughed but shook her head and began to corral America away. "No worries little dude, we'll be out by then." She could see the kid growing more uncomfortable as the conversation went on and didn't intend to let America spook him out of his daylights.
"As fer youuu-" She turned to America. "Pools are a no go I got makeup on and it ain't waterproof." There were two things Chel cared about her appearance and that was her hair color and her Look.

She winked at the boy and gave Chel a friendly shoulder bump shoulder. "Yeah, we're good. Just needed to check on a thing, hun." With a waggle of her eyebrows, America finally conceded to being led back through the yard, giggling softly and stalling at odd turns, partly to remember the yard, the house and its wall. The rest because she's likes to be a little frustrating, when being ushered about. Outside the yard, finally, America turned to the other girl and asked, "You ever go to Darlene's?"

Chel lets her take her time being frustrating. It wasn't like she was in a rush to get anywhere.
"Darlene's? That one diner yeah?" She scratched her head. She'd probably been there once or twice (it wasn't that big of a town and there were only so many cheap places two broke cousins could eat out) but she couldn't recall it more beyond "I probably visited."
"M'not sure. You about to buy me dinner?" She'd just come from a guy that had bought her dinner so she wasn't opposed to being treated twice.

"Bar," America corrected with a grin. "But the food's pretty ********' excellent and I get an employee discount. No makeouts necessary, but come by sometime and I'll treat you." Though makeouts would, of course, be welcome.

"You look a little young t'be drinkin'- should I tell yer parents," Chel said, leaning in close.
If it wasn't obvious by her many tattoos and many piercings, dyed hair and general disposition, Chel did not give a rat's a** about the legal drinking age.

Wriggling her shoulders as she leaned in conspiratorially, America replied, "Don't you worry, I got an in with the cops." Winky face.
Fingergun.

Chel casually and comfortably slung an arm around America as she leaned in, even with her being almost a complete stranger. A forcive habit, maybe. Chel found herself comfortable with nearly everyone and America seemed to share the vibe.
"Bad girl, bad girl, whatchu gonna do?" Chel remembered watching that show a lot growing up. "Dinner sounds good f'you wear somethin' pretty."
(America could have shown up in a clown costume and she would have thought it was pretty).

"If I wear it, it'll look pretty," America assured her, accidentally echoing the unspoken sentiment. Tipping her head back, she smiled up at the sky. "Thanks for coming with. It feels good, when I match one up n'find something or someone for myself along the way."

"Any time," she told America with a shrug. With her free hand she pulled out her cell phone and handed it to the girl as they walked.
In that mimicking way she said, "Can I get yo numbahh?" with a bright smile.

Chel nodded. "Just don't send me essays darlin'. Pictures are better."
She didn't know the cute animal photos with funny captions, but she was now sure to look for some.
