A/N: If I have to give an announcement, I might as well have fun with it.

The readers of Minecraft: Silly Mode are directed into a small auditorium and take their seats in the front row. The curtains cover the stage. Once everyone is settled, the lights dim. The curtains are pulled back, revealing nothing but a single standing microphone onstage. A spotlight is directed onto the microphone. An assortment of MCSM characters and Portal Party OCs meander onstage from right and left. They mutter and mumble amongst themselves, bickering about who should be the one to talk to the audience.

Jessie tells Lukas to talk to them because he's the fan favorite, but he claims that he has stage fright. Jessie tells him that's a bunch of bogus because his original character design was to be a theater nerd. After a few minutes of bickering, Lukas gives in and walks up to the microphone.

He taps on it. "Is this thing on?"

The audience says, "Yeah, it is."

"Okay." He then takes a half sheet of paper out of his pocket. "Hi, guys. It's me, Lukas, of course."

A couple fangirls in the audience scream in delight and shout "We love you, Lukas!"

He blushes. "Uh, thanks. Anyway-"

"Why aren't you wearing your gypsy costume from A Touch of Magic? We wanna see you shirtless again! That was HAWT!" one girl yells.

His face gets even redder. "You guys! Focus! Anyway...us characters are going to give you an announcement. It's from TealEmpress."

He pauses.

"What are you waiting for?" Jessie asks him.

He turns back to her. "Why are we reading this? How come Teal doesn't come onstage and read it herself?"

"Now's not the time to ask that. Just read the dang announcement."

"Okay, okay, fine. Ahem." Lukas read from the piece of paper: "Anyway, Teal wants to give the following announcement. She went on a week-long seminar last week and kinda sorta completely forgot to warn everyone that she was doing so. Typical Teal. Scatterbrained as heck. And while she was at that seminar, she didn't have any chance to write fanfiction. For that reason, the next update for her fanfics might be later than we'd like."

"Boo!" some people heckle from the audience.

"Well, don't come after me. You need to hash that one out with Teal. M'kay?"

"Okay, all right."

"Good. Was there anything else anyone wanted to say?"

"Lukas, you need to marry Jessie," one fan suggests.

Lukas starts to look a little lightheaded.

"Don't you dare faint again, Lukas!" Jessie warns him.

"Hey, what about that guest that said stuff about more Jetra and Luktra?" another person asks.

"Wait." Lukas squints at some small type on the margin of the paper. "Hang on, I can't read this. Can someone get me my reading glasses?"

Clockwürk, who is standing nearest to stage left, runs offstage and is gone for a minute or two. He returns holding a pair of pink glasses and gives them to Lukas. A few people in the audience chuckle at the unmanly pink glasses.

"Thanks." Lukas dons the reading glasses. "Hey, don't laugh at me. They only had one style with the lenses that have the magnification I need, and these are it. So anyway, the fine print here says…'And to the guest reviewer who complained about my shipping choices last chapter: Instead of that, how about I write what I want to write about? Because this is my hobby, not my job, and I don't have to obey the whims of faceless guest reviewers.' Wow. Salty. She must have been having a bad day."

"So I take it no Luktra then?" the same person asks.

"I wouldn't count on it."

"Darn."

"What about the Jetra?"

"She invokes the Twin Jesse AU for that one, and we don't have that Jesse with us right now. He's working on something else today. So does anyone else have questions?"

"What's Teal going to do about Season 2 coming out?" a rando asks.

Lukas takes off his glasses and slides them into his pocket. "Write fanfic about it, of course. First it needs to be released, though. July 11! How many of you are doing the countdown challenge?"

There's a show of hands.

"Nice! Be sure to stay on track. It starts on July 3rd."

The crowd cheers.

"Anyway, we're running out of time. We were only able to rent the theater for a little while. Thanks for listening, guys."

Suddenly Ivor runs from one end of the stage to another, waving his arms and just generally being Ivor.

"ADVENTUUUUUUUUURE!"
