A- Alright, gang! Since we can’t bring Skylar to the studio–it would give her an existential crisis with technology far more advanced than hers–I’ve magically arrived through a portal into her world and totally didn’t give her a heart attack by showing up out of nowhere, right, Skye?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTT9X0yVUZ
S- (Panicking) How’d you get here? What are you? Why are you here?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExE42pCAw2
A- (Waving a hand) Ah, you’ll be alright. Anyways, Skylar, my readers have some questions for you, and I’d like you to answer them as honestly as possible.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSyPIdqUl6
S- Your-your readers? I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Can I just go back to where I was?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuouOTYLbm3
A- No.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfpFDSjOiR
S- (Sighing) Fine.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwtiH7f9Fv
A- Alright, our first question comes from a reader called Alex_. Alex_ asks, "What are some things you find cute about a friend of yours, Luke?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwQNTf8Tzp
S- (Blushing) We-well, he’s kind. And brave. He’s willing to give up everything for the ones he cares about, or people he barely knows. He cares so much, and I-I…I wanted to do the same for him…(Eyes welling up with tears) And I-I want to get back to him…but what if I can’t find him?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwWmUth1yv
A- Now, now, don’t get in so much of a pickle, Skylar, this wasn’t meant to make you upset. Here, let’s liven the mood a little…(Reading the next question) With…uh…(Sweat rolls down their forehead)
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39rOwaN1Sl
S- What? What is it?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7rj7AhUJJ
A- Well, the next question says, "Have you ever met a sexist person?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLywlvekDp
S- Oh. (Taking a deep breath) Well, there were quite a few in the Secret Woods. After Papa died, I wanted to join the guard, but-
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49f8Ro6zgs
A- Hold on, I’m gonna stop you right there.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxofTrw7XCV
S- Why?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmT8hI91SW
A- That’s something that we find out about in the next book.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQx0M4MIh7
S- We-we what? Next book? I’m sorry, I’m still not following-
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUaUygOqZh
A- It’s alright, you don’t have to. You’ll just…have a flashback in the next book. (Looking at the reader) And we wouldn’t want to have any spoilers…right?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3A8nROYc2
S- (Clears her throat)
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO9oadlf0X
A- Right, right. Next question! Alex_ also asks, "How do you feel about being her favorite?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrtoEdiBVm
S- I’m still very confused. Who’s Alex_? Why are there readers? And- did you say I’m her favorite?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z1TW4M2AX
A- (Nodding) Mmmhmm.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7DHIpQwin
S- (Blushing) Oh, uh…thank you? I feel honored. I didn’t know I was anyone’s favorite.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsH8H4arHL
A- (Muttering) Yeah, you’re also Luke’s favorite…
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0Nz8HvgAu
S- Did you say something?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpWBCIfAPy
A- (Nervously clearing their throat) Uh…nothing. And Alex_ asks, "Do you like your outfit choice?" And I ask, "Why?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KF48at9cx
S- Wow. Such specific questions. The answer is yes. I love the style, and the clothes allow me to run faster and move easier when I fight. At least, that’s what I think.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX8UgxbiX0
A- It might be more of a confidence thing.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gn5Kf5kGe
S- Yeah, it could be.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp6UF82qUB
A- Alex_’s final question is, "What do you plan on doing with your new wolf friend, Luna?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9arDlN4yu
S- (Thinking) I don’t really know. I mean, I had thought about letting her return to the wild, but she’s been following me ever since I helped her. If she wants, she can stay with me, I guess.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImplumMLLn
A- Alright! That’s all the questions for now!
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpJe9mvbg1
S- Wait! I don’t know who you are, but I feel like you’re in control of what happens here in this world. What are you? A god? A sorcerer?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3u1I3IafT
A- (Smiling) No, I’m none of those. I’m simply an author. But there is someone else who has orchestrated this whole thing from the beginning. Someone who will be revealed in the final book.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo8sStP2vC
S- I still have no idea what you’re talking about.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEsjLgIZnE
A- I know. (Pointing to the reader) But it’ll make sense to them.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsQxEe5n4g
S- (Looking) Who are they, really?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoghAKrWhNP
A- (A tear forming in their eye) Someone who cares about you very much. But you’ll never get to meet them.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrQzsZSnjQ
S- (Looking at the ground) Do…you care about me?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW0Y0c7bbc
A- (Smiling sadly) More than you could ever imagine. You saved my life.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjoj7U1Xvh
S- (A look of realization passes over her face as if she understood exactly what the author was saying) You-you’re-
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7LfytB41D
A- Anyways, I gotta go. Okay byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPkagCmnUx
S- (Reaching out to them as she had with the ghost of her father, but she can’t reach the author, they’ve already disappeared. Skylar is left with the truth hanging in the air where the person in control had been.)
