Again, the scene reopens in the bar. We pan across the scene, and, rather
strangely, Chris is nowhere to be
seen. Myotismon is leaning on the bar, next to Jun.

Myotismon: Can I sign your shirt? *grin*

Jun: *giggle*

Piedmon: HEY! What are you doing with that hussy?!

Myotismon: I... uh.. it’s... not what it looks like!

Elsewhere in the room, Kari is trying to get TK to talk to her again.

Kari: I was *joking*, TK!

TK: Oh yeah? How do I know that?

Kari: Oh, come on! Look at all the awards we won!

Kari points, and we see that there’s a large pile of award in the corner,
after they won so many in the
previous section.

Kari: The voters obviously can tell there’s something between us, and they’
re right!

TK: Well... maybe...

TK and Kari abruptly start making out, and stagger backwards, knocking over
the pile of awards. We see
that Ken was hiding behind them.

Ken: Dammit!

Yolei: There he is!

Susan: Keep away from him!

Yolei: Try and stop me!

Ken: Hey, girls, what’s that over there?

Ken points and Susan and Yolei turn around.

Ken: Yoink!

Ken runs off. Susan and Yolei grin and rush off after him.

The scene pans along some more, until it’s outside of the bar. In the hall,
we can see Chris, talking with a
pair of paramedics.

Paramedic #1: Yeah, his eye’ll be fine. It was just a scratch.

Chris: That’s a relief. I need him for an award gag later.

Paramedic #2: He’ll be able to do that, I think.

Chris: Sweet. Thanks for the time.

The paramedics leave, and Chris looks at his watch.

Chris: Ah, geez, now we’re running late... *pulls out his cell phone*
...Hello? Yeah, it’s me. Get everyone
back in the amphitheatre.

A Bakemon’s voice comes over the loudspeakers, giving the order. The
audience crowds in and takes it’s
seats, as the Digimon Theme starts playing again. Chris walks out on stage.

Chris: Good evening again, friends, and welcome back to:

THE FIRST ANNUAL DIGI-AWARDS!

Chris: Now let’s get stuck into:

SECTION THREEL: ALT.FAN.DIGIMON & THE DIGI-WARS!

Chris: For this section, *I* will be presenting all the awards, just to give
it that extra personal touch. For the
first couple, I’m gonna be assisted by winners and losers from our previous
awards. However, I didn’t
actually get many votes for this section, as a whole. I guess people were
worried about how those they
voted for - or more likely, those they DIDN’T vote for - would react. So,
let’s begin!

CATEGORY ONE - MOST POPULAR AFDer

Chris: To help me present this award, please put your hands together and
welcome winner of Most Popular
01 DigiDestined - Izzy!

Izzy walks out, with “The AOL Song” playing. He reaches the lectern and
shakes Chris’s hand.

Chris: Tell me, Izzy, where’s that crazy laptop of yours tonight?

Izzy: She’s not a “crazy laptop” - her name is Charlene, and she’s out in
the audience. *points and waves*
Hi Charlene!

Chris squints and can see Izzy’s laptop sitting open on a seat.

Laptop: Keep - your - hands - off - my - baby - you - hack!

Chris: That is VERY disturbing.

Izzy: The votes for Most Popular AFDer were:

1 - Zenigame
1 - Thomas
1 - Chris McFeely
1 - Foratog
2 - Areku
2 - Clare
2 - Phantom6
3 - Raptordx1

Chris: Congratulations, Raptor! Even though you seem to hate AFD, it loves
you!

Raptor comes up onto the stage and accepts his award.

Raptor: I’d like to thank everyone that voted for me, and I’d especially
like to say a big thank you to Susan.

Chris: ...uh... where IS Susan?

Ken runs past.

Izzy: Just wait a second...

Yolei and Susan appear.

Chris: There ya go.

Susan: Congrats, sweetie! *gives Raptor a hug*

Yolei doesn’t stop, however, and runs on.

Susan: Ack! Now look what you did - she’s got more of a lead on him now!

Susan darts off.

Chris: Y’know, I think this gag may be running a tad stale...

Chris snaps his fingers, and Susan, Yolei and Ken suddenly appear back in
their seats.

Chris: It’s good to be the king.

Izzy: If you want to talk about stale jokes - quit SAYING that!

Chris: Get away from me, kid, you bother me. WAUGH!

Raptor: Hrm... I’m... just gonna sit down again.

Chris: You do that. *turns back to Izzy* I’d like to see you come up with
better comedy, boy. *pokes Izzy
in the chest*

Laptop: I - said - don’t - TOUCH - him!!

A bolt of electricity jumps from the laptop and zaps Chris. Izzy takes his
seat and hugs his laptop.

Izzy: Thanks, Charlene!

Laptop: My - pleasure - honey.

Chris: *coughs and a smoke cloud floats into the air* Uhm... moving swiftly
onward, then...

CATEGORY TWO - FUNNIEST AFDer

Chris: To help me out with this award, get on your feet for winner of Most
Popular Rookie, and the one
that’s thought of as “funny” - Gomamon!

Gomamon crawls out, with that circus music playing.

Gomamon: Can we get this over with quick?

Chris: Are you still bitter?

Gomamon: NO! I just don’t need to see OTHER people getting awards for being
funny when that stupid
flying hamster’s already won one over me...

Chris: You’re bitter.

Gomamon: I AM NOT, DAMN YOU!

Chris: Yikes! Geez, okay, okay, just do the votes, then.

Gomamon: The votes for Funniest AFDer were:

1 - Thomas
2 - Areku
3 - Susan
4 - Chris McFeely

WHAT?! Are you KIDDING me?! You think THIS MORON is FUNNY?!?

Chris: ...me? I won? Let me see that, that’s got to be a misprint...

Chris takes the card from Gomamon and reads over it.

Chris: Jesus.

Gomamon: My sentiments exactly.

Gomamon throws Chris’s Digi at him, and Chris catches it. Gomamon drops down
from the lectern and
shuffles offstage, in a huff.

Chris: ...wow. Uhm, I’m not sure what to say here... so I’ll just say thank
you to everyone who voted for
me, and that I’m glad you like my stuff.

Myotismon & Piedmon: We’re gay!

Sora: He loves me!

Kari: I hate him!

Laptop: I’m - alive!

Mimi & Matt: Mimato does not exist!

Gomamon: *back in his seat* And you people think... THAT... is FUNNY?

The audience *thwap*s Gomamon.

Chris sets his Digi aside.

Chris: I’m not going to go on about this, so, we’ll move on to the next
award.

CATEGORY THREE - MOST ANNOYING AFDer

Chris: To aid me this time, say hello to Tai!

Tai walks out, with “You’re The One That I Want” playing.

Tai: Okay... now... I’ve warned you about that... and the fact that it’s
playing when I’m out here with you is
doubly disturbing.

Chris storms backstage. There’s a crash, the music stops, and little bits of
vinyl fly out onto the stage. Chris
reappears.

Chris: That’s THAT. Now, read the votes.

Tai: The votes for Most Annoying AFDer were:

1 - Jolly Trolly
2 - Black Hole the Walrus
2 - Dominus Fenix
2 - Dima Sofanov
3 - Areku

Chris: Well, what do you know about that? It’s a regular, well-liked poster
who winds up winning, rather
than an established troll! How’s that for a turn of events!

Areku comes up on stage and accepts his award.

Areku: I’d like to say that...

Fenix: HEY!

Fenix stands up out of his seat in the audience. He’s... um... got a
computer strapped to his head, covering
his face completely.

Fenix: How the hell did he win? I’m the TROLL! You’re not SUPPOSED to like
me! That award is MINE!

Chris blinks.

Chris: Uhm...

Fenix: What?

Chris: What the hell are you doing with that computer? Did that thing with
your eyeball leave you horribly
disfigured - even moreso, I mean - and you needed something to cover it up?
...I’m sure you coulda found
something better than that...

Fenix: No, you stupid Mick!

Chris: Well, what then?

Fenix: I’m using the Internet as a mask.

*drumbeat*

The entire audience, and everyone on stage, including Chris, falls over,
anime-style.

All: AUUGH!

Chris: On that GODAWFUL gag, let’s move along...

Areku: But I didn’t...

Chris: Oh, must you?

Areku: Yes! My fangirls demand it!

Chris: Very well, very well...

Areku: I’d like to thank...

Chris surreptitiously tugs the cord out of the microphone, and Areku keeps
talking, not realising what’s
happened. A few minutes later, Chris plugs it back in.

Areku: ...blue donkey balls! Thank you!

The audience claps in a rather confused manner, as Areku resumes his seat.

Chris: I’m dying up here... say thanks to Tai, everyone.

Tai takes his seat, with no music, thankfully, as the audience applauds.

CATEGORY FOUR - MOST POPULAR AFD FANFIC WRITER

Chris: Oooh... to do this award, please will you give a warm welcome to
Sora!

Nothing happens.

Chris: ...to SORA!

Still nothing.

Chris: GET OUT HERE!

Sora is forcibly pushed on stage by a Bakemon.

Sora: ...for God’s sake, don’t make me go out there with him!

“My Girl” starts playing, as Sora stomps her way over to the lectern.

Chris: How nice to see you again.

Sora: Cram it! And turn that damned music off!

*Sqwirk*

Chris: ...but I picked it just for you...

Sora snatches the card with the votes on it from Chris.

Sora: The votes for Most Popular Fanfic Writer were...

Chris: Hey, come on, slow down! We’ll never get any time up here together if
you...

Sora stands on Chris’s foot.

Chris: AGH!

Sora: A-HEM.... the votes were:

3 - Susan
4 - Chris McFeely

Wha-AT?! *HE* won?! Another one?

Chris: *ceases hopping around on one foot* Oh, you’ve got to be joking.

Sora: Unfortunately not.

Sora hands Chris his Digi, and he takes it, looking rather dazed.

Chris: Uh... thanks again, everyone.

Sora: Grr... I’m contractually required to ask you this now... so, Chris,
what can we expect to see from you
in the future?

Chris: Well, Sora, after these awards, I’ll of course have to finish
“Ascension” - you have no idea how much
time these awards took to write up - and after that... or perhaps during,
you can look forward to “The
Wizardmon of Oz,” a delightful little romp that puts Kari in the starring
role.

Sora: Okay, now, are we done here?

Chris: I am.

Sora: Good.

Sora hastily leaves the stage, with “My Girl” playing again. Chris puts his
Digi aside.

Chris: I don’t think that’s right, having the host win an award... not to
mention TWO awards... but anyway...
we’re moving on to look at the Digi-Wars! now. Now, according to my ballots,
approximately five people
read the DW! - ie: I didn’t get many votes. Barely any. So I’m not wasting
time trying to drag gags out of
this. I’m going to quickly run through the results on my own, and just throw
the awards out to the winners
in the audience - seeing as I don’t read the DW! either, so I couldn’t hope
to have the characters come up
here and act in any way accurately, as I don’t know who they even are. Here
we go!

CATEGORY FIVE - MOST POPULAR DW! DIGIDESTINED

1 - Kevin
1 - Mike
1 - Amber
1 - Gaia
2 - Tommy

CATEGORY SIX - MOST POPULAR DW! ROOKIE DIGIMON

CATEGORY NINE - MOST POPULAR DW! WRITER

2 - Tech Weaver Mask

CATEGORY TEN - FAVOURITE DW! EPISODE

1 - The last episode of CJQ
1 - Rebirth
1 - Ends and Beginnings

Chris: *gasp, wheeze, pant, puff* Did it! In less than a page! I know you
all probably feel kinda ripped off
now, that I ran through that so quickly, but seriously, do you SEE how few
votes there were? I couldn’t
have got any material from that. Unless I got old characters to come up and
continued with more running
jokes, which, after fifty pages, are growing very tiresome.

The Digimon Theme starts playing again.

Chris: Well, with that, we come to the end of this section. Go on and do
what ya gotta do, but make sure to
come back for the fourth and final section, the Miscellaneous section, where
we’ll be addressing all those
wierd and wonderful issues that just don’t fit into other categories!

The lights go out, and Chris walks offstage as the audience files out.

END PART THREE!
