questions Barbie started feeling better as soon as he passed Food City and left downtown behind. When he saw the sign reading YOU ARE LEAVING THE VILLAGE OF CHESTER’S MILL. COME BACK REAL SOON!, he felt better still. He was glad to be on his way, and not just because he had taken a pretty good beating in The Mill. It was plain old moving on that had lightened him up. He had been walking around under his own little gray cloud for at least two weeks before getting his shit handed to him in the parking lot of Dipper’s. Q 1: In this case, what's the meaning of 'COME BACK REAL SOON!'? Q 2: In this case, what's the meaning of 'take a pretty good beating'? Q 3: What's the meaning of 'He had been walking around under his own little gray cloud for at least two weeks before getting his shit handed to him in the parking lot of Dipper’s.'?

1. The sign encourages him to return to the town. It implies that people in the town will be happier when he goes back. 2. He got into a fight with some people, and suffered injuries because of the fight. 3. He had been having bad luck and had been depressed and sad for two weeks before he got into the fight.
