Wanda & Billy Texts au-mom checks in on au-son references to the deaths during plot
Today 10:35 AM
Hey, how're you feeling now?
I’m okay? I’m sorry for what y’know. What happened. Are you okay?
It wasn't your fault. It was scary. I'm doing okay. You don't have any side effects?
None, which I think is the scarier thing? :/
A little bit, yeah. You didn't have any power drain or anything?
Not even a little, other than being tired when I woke up. What about you? You used a lot of power
I guess that's good, maybe? That you don't get too drained at all. I'm okay now, I was tired and tingly for a little bit afterwards.
Yeah, I don’t want to be in a fight like that again, though.
Never ever. It felt never ending. I'm still not entirely sure what happened.
Have you talked to Teddy? Since it happened?
I have. He- he texted me the day after. He’s okay, like not even the tiniest mark that he was- y’know. We went out for pancakes.
I'm glad he's okay. Whatever happened to fix things, I'm just glad he's okay. Replacing me already on our pancake dates?
Can I not have two people I go on pancake dates with? Though I’m not sure ‘thank god you’re alive’ counts as a pancake date...
I’m really not replacing you, I promise
I was teasing, Billy. I know. I am glad you both got to sit down to talk. It's good you got to see he's okay.
Also I owed him an apology because i didn’t believe it was him when he first messaged me and was kind of rude 😐
Because ... you saw that he died? Did he remember that?
I don’t know if he remembered dying specifically but he knew he’d died because he remembered being grabbed and then it all went dark and then it was two days later
I think you could be excused for not believing that someone you saw die was messaging you.
Yeah that’s what he said
And you've let yourself accept that, right? Since he's said it's okay?
Kinda? Maybe? idk i was rude to him
And you apologised and took him to pancakes and he accepted that it was okay. So just don't be rude again and you'll be fine.
he’s not allowed to die again and then it won’t be a problem.
but while we’re on the subject you’re banned from that too
But I was going to schedule it for two weeks from today.
Really though, it's not on my agenda.
😐 banned. Perma banned
You're not allowed to do it either.
Deal. I just gotta tell Blossom she’s banned too.
I think we are all very much trying to not die.
OC doesn’t make that easy, huh.
I don't think so. But at least this time it fixed what it did.
true, and when I went for coffee yesterday no one was talking about it.
It seems like it's just ... done. Nothing is even broken even.
whatever magic I felt on that last day was.... did you feel it too?
Yes. It was very unusual. And new. I'd never felt that before.
It was powerful
Whatever it was, I'm glad it fixed the damage to my home. The idea of having to fix that up wasn't enjoyable.
That’s... a good point. I don’t even know what happened to my place, or if anything did.
Maybe Orange County is finally trying to keep insurance costs down.
Insurance here is weirdly high.
Given what people can do, and the things that happen, I'm not sure it's that weird.
I don't understand how somehow it's still a huge secret? All the stuff that happens here.
The cover ups are rather flimsy, aren't they. Maybe people just don't want to believe it.
I'm glad I know the truth. Maybe
I am. It means we know about each other, and that's important. More important than not knowing about Orange County.
True, I'm really glad you're here. Even if you're from a different dream reality.
I'm glad too. Can you fit me in for pancakes this week? I want to stuff myself before college restarts.
🥞 you read my mind. I was going to ask if you wanted to head out.
Absolutely! Food helps even when you aren't feeling bad after all.
That's true. And since classes are starting again soon our time to just hang out whenever is going to decrease 🙁
But we'll still make time for each other. Is Teddy going to our campus or another one?
Teddy's at Chapman, I think. But yeah, of course, we'll make time for each other.
Well, we're going to have to go and see any and all Lacrosse games anyway.
oh god. i'm gonna need to learn about the rules of sports
We can learn together, because I know nothing about Lacrosse.
I'm behind that plan 🥍
oh wow it has an emoji
It must be a serious sport.
It must be, they offer scholarships for it too
Then we'll brush up on our lacrosse knowledge and be sure to support Teddy at games.
Pretty sure as long as we shout when the ball (?? ball??) goes into the right net we'll be okay
Yes, and I'm sure we can yell in disgust whenever someone from Teddy's team is wrongly tackled.
And we can do that face paint thing where we just have an artful streak of Teddy's team colours on our cheek. Like warpaint.
And buy team shirts, if they have them. Wear those to the games too.
