ACT II

Tonio and Caroline soon notice that Holly and Michael are beginning to lose interest in them the way they are and unconsciously trying to change them. Caroline finds herself losing some of her Victorian virtues and Tonio, much to his own disgust, is becoming vulnerable. Finally, they’ve had enough; even a fantasy should have a bottom line. Prepared to risk everything to recover their own integrity, they fire their creators. Stunned, Michael and Holly find themselves back together, and very grateful for it. They ask forgiveness for holding one another up to the ridiculous standards of their fantasies and rekindle the passion they had when they first met. But Tonio and Caroline are not going anywhere. They accuse Holly and Michael of being imposters who have broken into Tonio and Caroline’s loft. The four fight a duel and Tonio is wounded. Upon seeing his own blood, he knows he has realized his greatest desire – he and Caroline are no longer fantasies; they are alive. Energized, the two take up their weapons again and drive Holly and Michael out of their loft, all the while lecturing them on how badly they’ve treated each other. Michael and Holly wind up on the street where they reclaim their perfectly imperfect love. They are each unsure about ever writing again. Having the power to unwittingly manifest their characters in the real world is too terrifying. But their commitment to each other is stronger than ever. Caroline and Tonio, realize they have much more in common than immaculate conception, and declare their deep love for each other.  They dedicate their lives to becoming heroes in a world that badly needs more heroes. They forgive their creators and even invite them to come along on their quest. When Michael and Holly agree, Caroline suggests they have a double wedding. As the sun rises, they seal their vows and ride off to right the world’s wrongs – Bikers in Camelot forever.
