The Ink Awards
(Part Seven)
"Instead of boring you all with our pointless ramblings, we'll just cut to the chase and present Funniest Character!" said Ali.
"I don't get it, none of the Inkheart characters are very funny. They're all too serious and boring!" said Elena.
"Good point, Elena. Who came up with this award, anyway?"
"Bob Elliot."
"Somebody fire him."
Unfortunately, someone was a bit too literal and set poor Bob Elliot on fire. All that remains of him are his ashes. Rest in peace, Bob Elliot. You were a good man, with bad award ideas.
"So who wins the award, anyway?" asked Elena. Ali looked at the results.
"Hmm, this is new." she muttered.
"WHO WON?!" Elena shrieked.
"Oh right, who won. Well, no one did!"
The theater went absolutely quiet. Even the crickets didn't make a sound.
"What do you mean 'no one'? That's not possible! Someone has to accept the award!" Elena yelled.
"I say we accept the award." Ali said.
"But we're not from Inkheart!" said Elena in confusion.
"But we are from the Ink Awards. That works for me!"
"Fine, we'll accept the award, just to get it over with." sighed Elena. Ali passes Elena a crane.
"We don't have to have a speech, do we?" asked Elena.
"Nah. Lets just say what next award is." Ali said, shrugging.
"Okay! Next award is Most Dramatic character. Anyone can win this award, excluding Orpheus and Roxane, who ran away."
"Don't forget to vote!"
