"Huh, how come?" Andi flops onto the couch.

[instar]

(Bella heads up the stairs.)

[hold_infinity]

Robin also flops.

"Well, they don't want to think I'm that much better than they are, right?"

[pandion]

"So they figure you win on luck and they keep going till it runs out only it doesn't?"

[hold_infinity]

"Exactly."

[pandion]

"Heh. Where did you find the people you did this with back across the pond?"

[hold_infinity]

"School."

[pandion]

"Makes sense. I'd recommend somebody but I like most of the people I know."

[hold_infinity]

"Well, who don't you?"

[pandion]

"Uuuum," Andi thinks, then shakes her head. "I try not to talk about people behind their backs. Even if I don't like them."

[hold_infinity]

"Okay," says Robin.

[pandion]

"Especially if I don't, actually, since it's more tempting and I don't have productive things to say then."

[hold_infinity]

She snorts. "Yeah. I hear you."

The door opens. "Hello girls!" calls Renée.

[instar]

"Hi, Mom!" calls Bella's voice from upstairs.

[pandion]

"Hi Mom! This is Robin. Robin, this is my mom."

[hold_infinity]

"Hi, Andi's mom," says Robin, waving.

[kindestgarden]

"Oh, you can call me Renée, it's fine. Are you girls ready to go to the movie?"

[hold_infinity]

"Yeah."

[kindestgarden]

"All right then, let's go!"

And she ushers them out to the car.

[pandion]

And there is the theater! Andi reminds Renée of when the movie is over, and that Bella will remind her if she forgets to come get them, and then she gets in line.

"Is your mum the forgetful type?" inquires Robin.

[pandion]

"Yeah. Only about some things, but this is that kinda thing."

[hold_infinity]

"Got it."

[pandion]

"We have to be on her about running errands and stuff too. She doesn't let anything get too out of control but she leaves it later than she means to if we're not kind of on her case."
