"Gravity Falls spooky," she says with a nod. "Ghosts that tried to kill us all," she admits, looking a bit pale talking about it. "Dipper saved us that night," she says, glancing away and then back.

Still giving him a bit of a smile at that, knowing that in the end, it is pretty true. She was trained for that, even if he carries a chair leg with nails in it and kills zombies regularly. Here, where he doesn't have to do that, it's different.

"Oh trust me, I will totally hit you," she says, nudging him. "If you promise the same if I start acting like that kind of teenager. I don't want to be that Wendy again." It's part of her fears about going home, besides losing them all. It's losing the woman she's becoming.

"Oooooof course. Murder ghosts, silly me for not thinking of those," still, it clearly shook her. "Well...glad he did. And sorry you had to deal with murder ghosts. That sounds pretty shitty."

Sometimes, he thinks he prefers the zombie thing. At least that's predictable. He knows how to deal with walkers. This shit? This is all kinds of messy.

"You're a good friend, Wends," his tone is light, but he means every word. "And sure. I'll stop you from being Douchey Wendy, you stop me from being Douchey Louis. Sounds like the perfect plan."

"Old people murder ghosts," she adds, nodding sagely. "Who hated teenagers. There's a reason this place just feels like home without my siblings," she admits, chuckling softly as she shrugs her shoulders. "Thanks though. I appreciate it. I think it's kind of honestly why I just take the weird things in stride. It's these that make me wonder."

Like why she has so little of these things to bother her. Has she missed out on things? Is it because Dipper is right and she's fictional? She knows it might be that but no way to really prove it.

"I try. I like the person I'm being here," she admits. "Friends and everything else. I'm glad for it," she says, not really having not said it to others, or that she hopes that somehow some of it sticks if she gets sent back home.

"Old people murder ghosts who hated teenagers sounds like the worst kind of murder ghosts," he shivers theatrically. "Yeesh. Heeby jeeby central. That's a damn good reason to be able to deal with weird shit well."

Finding out that you're fictional is a whole other can of worms that Louis is absolutely not interested in going through. Nope. No thanks. Do not pass Go, do not collect two hundred dollars.

"Well, for it's worth? I think you're doing awesome at it. You're great, Wends. A plus friend."
