"Well, I was kinda dead, which always puts a damper on my day. Well, I can't say always, I've never been dead before, but I'm guessing bein' dead would put a damper on anyone's day." Fred smiled, guessing she probably sounded a little crazy.
"You? You look a little ...well, actually you look rather pretty for someone who might have just been through what we just went through." Fred laughed softly. "I look like somethin' someone threw out and you look gorgeous. It's okay. I have a friend named Cordelia, she always looked good too. I think there's some sorta rule about pretty girls. Not that I think I'm ugly, but I'm not you, or Cordy." Pause. "Oh, I'm Fred. Winifred Burkle actually, but people call me 'Fred'."
The brainy wonder stuck her hand out for a shake. "I talk a lot, but then I went for almost five years without really talkin' so I think I'm just tryin' to make up for it. Not that you needed to know that."
