Awards Extravaganza!



A camera pans over a vast audience of super-heroes and super-villains from all walks of live, orchestral fanfare playing all the while, before the camera and the stage lights come to focus on the main forum, and its red velvety curtains.

An announcer's voice booms: "Live, from Bob Kane Memorial Stadium - designed, drawn, and funded by Bill Finger - it's the Second and a Half Annual Ambush Bug Presents Awards Extravaganza!"

The curtains part, giving way to the night's emcee - Ambush Bug, dressed to the nines in a sharp tuxedo. A sharp, orange tuxedo.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Ambush Bug Awards - the Schwabbies, as they are popularly known. This is our second and a half annual ceremony, and I hope we can continue the fine tradition of dignity and aplomb that we have maintained all these years. But - what's this?"

Ambush Bug looks towards the rafters, where there is suddenly a glow.

Jimmy's still giving Snapper an odd look after that.. admission.

"Oh, wow. Well, here's a coincidence. Dick Grayson's replacement, Jason Todd, AKA Robin, AKA the Red Hood. Jason suffered from an unfortunate call-in campaign, but that injustice was ret-conned, fortunately.."

Snapper plows right on ahead, not looking back.

"Our third nominee.. well, no surprises here. It's Tim Drake, AKA Robin! Batman certainly inspires a line of high-quality sidekicks. Given how easily he took down the Marvels, I can see why.."

Jimmy chuckles.

"That's the Bat for you. Our fourth nominee is the sidekick of Blue .. Beetle? I didn't know he had a sidekick. Well, it's on the prompter.. let's have a round of applause for Booster Gold!"

There's some polite applause, but a peal of laughter from off-stage can be heard over it.

'BWAHAHAHAHA!'

Apparently, Batman isn't the only one who can hack the teleprompter.

"And our final nominee is the sidekick of tonight's host, Ambush Bug. Yes, Cheeks, the Toy Wonder!"

Snapper shakes his head.

"Gee, I wonder who the winner's going to be. This isn't rigged at all.."

He takes up the envelope, and slides it open - and his eyebrows go up.

"I stand corrected. The winner of the Best Sidekick award is.. Booster Gold!"

A fuming Booster Gold mutters his way out onto the stage, and somewhere in the wings, the laughter rings out again.

'BWAHAHAHAHAHA!'

Booster stalks up to the podium, grumbling.

"I am NOT a sidekick."

He starts to walk away, then turns back and grabs the statue.

"But I'm taking this anyway."

He walks back to the wings, from whence he came.
