Swift blinked, contemplating Evan's request. Honestly, the more she thought about it, the more she realized that her anger had less to do with Evan's decision and more to do with the circumstances surrounding it. Because at the end of the day... she couldn't be mad at him. Of course Swift believed in him. Of course she wanted him to succeed. With that said, if this was the most she could do to help him, then darn it, she would do it to the best of her ability.
She mustered up a smile. "Of course I have faith in you, Ev. Why wouldn't I?" She placed her hand on his arm. "We've done the impossible before. I've stood by you then and I'll stand by you now. As long as we're there to keep each other strong... well, shoot, we just might get through this in one piece!"

"That's the spirit!" Evan laughed. "You see? We just have to make the most of it. No matter what happens, no matter what we have to face, we'll face it together. And we will succeed. I believe it."
As he and Swift stared into each other's eyes, Evan eventually let himself succumb to the powerful emotions welling up inside. He leaned his forehead against Swift's, chuckled a little bit, and finally closed his eyes and pressed his lips against hers.

Swift giggled with him and returned the kiss, running her fingers through Evan's hair, losing herself in his warm embrace. God, this felt good...
She wasn't going to lose this feeling. She wasn't going to lose Evan. Not while it was within her power to protect what she loved the most.
With a soft smacking sound, Swift released the kiss and drew away, only to pull herself back in and rest her head in the crook of Evan's neck. "No more pessimism. No more doom and gloom. We can handle anything, you and me." She smiled as wide as she could, warmly and wholeheartedly. "We're doing this, Evan. We're making it happen."

"You got that right," Evan laughed as he hugged Swift, beaming with pure bliss. "Thank you. I'll always be around as long as I know you're around."

"Well then, you're gonna be around for a while, mister," Swift teased as she nuzzled Evan, tail wagging slightly.
Then, slowly, she pulled away, staring off into the distance inquisitively and sniffing the scents that the breeze carried. "What is that...?"

Evan chuckled at Swift's remark, then grew confused by her tangent. "What is what?"

Swift was a bit too shocked to answer. She knew for certain she was smelling the fumes of a car, but underneath it, she swore she could detect the scents of coyote, weasel, robin, human, magic, vampire and raccoon.
And that could only mean one thing. That they were all screwed. In the best possible way.
"This way! Come on!" Swift excitedly tugged at Evan's arm as she shot to her feet and began a brisk jog further down the path.

"W...?" Regardless of the sudden interruption of their tender moment, Evan couldn't help but laugh at Swift's enthusiasm. He quickly stood up and followed her, genuinely curious as to what had gotten her attention. "Swift, what is it?"

"Is it really them?!" Swift eagerly exclaimed as she followed the scents. "Are they actually here?!"
She came to a halt just as the path rounded a corner of forest, beyond which, sure enough, sat a parked camper van. Swift stared wide-eyed at the all-too-familiar vehicle, unable to contain her shuddering, gleeful laughs. "Oh my God..."

Evan scrambled to a halt beside her, equally as dumbfounded as he beheld the camper van. After staring at it for an awkwardly long time, he smacked himself in the forehead. "Oh, duh! I cant believe I forgot about that! I saw them during the fog! They fought Jack while he was possessing me! And Cat pretty much destroyed a good chunk of the mall!"

"Well, heck!" Swift chuckled as she walked towards the van. "I can't believe this. OUR characters... that WE made up... HERE! How is this even happening?!"
She smiled back at Evan. "Did they recognize you at all? D-Do you think we should even mention that we're their creators?"

"If they did, none of them said anything about it," Evan replied, following Swift excitedly. He chuckled a little at her next question. "Maybe let's not blow their minds like that. Not while our direct involvement with the plot is still so far off."

"Haha! Fair enough! Still, I just gotta meet them!"
Swift bounded up to the camper door and gave it a brisk knock, then rocked on her heels as she waited for someone to answer. Inside, she faintly heard a voice...
"Rio, someone's at the door! ...... Rio, the door! ...... RIO, OPEN THE FREAK- Oh, right, he's in the shower. Bluh..."
One series of audible stomps later, the door flew open to reveal none other than Cat, her hands and face somewhat dirtied up and her expression none too pleased. "Hi, whadya want?"
Swift's ears perked at the sight of the anthro. It took everything in her power not to squee at the real-life representation of her and her co-writers' character. "Hi! Cat Cackowski?"
"Yeah..." Cat rolled her eyes. She was used to people knowing who she was by now, but for crap's sake, she couldn't even get some privacy off-World.

"Hey," Evan waved to Cat and smiled, masking his excitement behind a friendly demeanor. "Not sure if you recognize me. We met during the fog. Although I was being controlled and subsequently went berserk..."

Cat blinked and raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing Evan until the memories finally clicked. "Ohh... Oh, yeah, you're the guy that Jack guy was possessing right."
She tapped a finger against the door, pursing her lips and absorbing the awkward silence. "Sooo... to repeat my initial question, whadya want?"
"Well, first and foremost, I was curious as to why you guys are here," Swift responded. "I mean, you guys were kinda in the middle of something important back home, weren't you?"
"How do you know about that?"
"This island has Prattler." Despite the truth in that statement, Swift was of course bluffing. Wanted to avoid blowing minds, after all.
"Ah. Right. Well, long story short, my prototype massage rocket chair and audio book rewriter blew up and ripped a hole in space-time. Now we're here and thought we'd check it out."
