Awards Extravaganza!

[the-ambush-bug.livejournal.com]

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.

There's a shimmer of light behind the podium, and a time sphere appears. The hatch opens to divulge the two presenters.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Which edition of the Ambush Bug Awards is this, again?"

Waverider chuckles.

"The second and a half, Rip. We're presenting the Best Pet award."

He steps up close to the microphone.

"We'll get things started right away. Our first nominee for Best Pet is, perhaps, the original super-animal. Krypto, the Super-Dog!"

"I have a good feeling about him, but I'll read the rest of the nominees anyway."

Rip chuckles.

"Second in the Best Pet category, Streaky the Super-Cat, longtime animal companion to Supergirl."

"Now, Rip, don't say anything you shouldn't."

Waverider shakes his head a little.

"Our third nominee - Itty, the tiny space creature companion of Hal Jordan, Green Lantern of Sector 2814."

"I never do. These awards aren't exactly earthshaking events, you know. Our fourth nominee, perhaps lower profile than the others, but no less distinctive, Power Girl's unnamed cat!"

"And the final nominee, Wonder Woman's pet.."

Waverider hesitates, re-reading the prompter.

"Steve 'the Gimp' Trevor?"

"Don't ask, Matt."

Rip takes up the winner's envelope and slides it open, announcing the winner without really reading the card.

"Our winner for Best Pet, and second canine honoree of the evening, is Krypto, the Super-Dog."

The caped white dog flies up to the podium, barking at the microphone once, and scoops up the award in his mouth, and flies out.
