A/N: Please don't vote more than three (3) times. It complicates the process in counting the votes and I swear I had to repeat that about 5-6 times. You know who you are. From now on, the limit is two (2) and you can't vote for the same person for more than one time. I hope you guys read this because this is very important. I don't want to see it happen again.
The curtains lifted and our two hosts stepped out from backstage, the green one quieter than usual "Um, Lee? Are you okay? The lack of... 'youthfulness' is sorta freaking me out."
"It's nothing." Lee sighed, Ino got some of her healing chakra, and held out her hand to his head. "Nope, no mental disease, but I think I already know."
Ino then turned to face the audience. "We're back to announce the winner of our latest category 'Most Suitable Boyfriend Material', and boy did we have some more drama back at the voting polls. We've got votes for a wide variety of characters from Sasuke to Shikamaru, and even to the blind dude (Neji.) over there. Of course, we did run into a few problems with cheaters and over fangirls (Ahem you know who you are), but other than that it's been a most successful voting session, and now we have a winner! Lee, care to do the honors?"
"Whatever you say." Lee took out a sheet of paper from his pocket and cleared his throat. "The winner of the 'Most Suitable Boyfriend Material' is..." Lee paused to sigh, "The title character, Uzumaki Naruto."
As the audience erupted in applause, the Golden Boy stepped onstage to receive his award. He then stood at the podium with his 'Golden Pakkun' trophy in one hand; like last time; unsure what to say. Finally he picked up the mike.
"Um, I guess I should thank the voters for picking me. Also, for the third award. I really appreciate it, I really do. But to be honest with you, I thought Sasuke would be picked, relying on his popularity with the fangirls. Also, most people think that I'm just gonna act like a kid once I got up here, but... I don't think I plan on doing that." Naruto paused to yawn, "I'm really sleepy right now. But even so, I thank you for all your votes, and also thank you Hinata for being my girlfriend and being so forgiving of my popularity. You know you're the only girl for me." He then left the stage to return to his seat beside his mom and dad, and then got into a sleeping position.
Ino looked at her fellow host. Lee seemed to have not smiled the whole time. "Guess who didn't get any votes?"
The blonde girl's eyes widened. "I think I already know" Ino turned her attention back to the audience, "Coming in second place for 'Most Suitable Boyfriend Material' is no other than the one and only Sasuke-kun! Of course, we all knew Naruto would get first place, or couse because he's the title character, but I was worried Lee would be the runner-up! I guess some people still love emo boys, like Sasuke for instance, teehee!"
"Alright. But then you know if he did get the award, he's still not here, right?" Ignoring Ino's glare, Lee (finally) put a smile on and continued to speak. "So anyway, it's now time to reveal the next category! This time the votes are for 'Best Paternal Figure', and our nominees are as follows:"
Nara Shikaku
Namikaze Minato (Naruto was a bit conscious to realize his father was nominated, 'Dad! You were nominated!' But then; like father and son; he was still asleep. Naruto eventually fell asleep, too.)
The florist ('Ahem, Lee. MY DAD.' 'Ino, these are die-hard fans of Naruto. I'm pretty sure they know who is who.')
Sarutobi Hiruzen ('Him? He's a father?' 'Your sensei's his son.')
Sarutobi Asuma ('Well he was supposed to raise Kurenai-sensei's kid over there' 'I can see that.')
Jiraiya ('He counts?' 'Yeah. He practically raised Naruto and his father.')
Uchiha Fugaku ('Ironically, Sasuke-kun's not here.' 'Shut up, Ino. I know you just want to ask Sasuke's dad for an arranged marraige with Sasuke.' WHACK!)
and Guy-sensei ('Let me guess, he practically raised you.' 'Yes.')
Ino stepped forward again "So folks, those are our nominees, and now the voting polls are open! Don't forget to get in your votes ASAP as voting ends in 24 hours! We'll be here to give out the award, so until then it's goodbye for now! See you in 24 hours! And Lee, you were not even nominated so, in the name of Kami, STOP GRINNING!"
"But... Guy-sensei was! I should be happy for him!"
"Yeah, happy. BUT NOT LIKE YOU ARE THE ONE THAT WAS NOMINATED!"
"A man can dream." For the first time today, Ino punched Lee in the face. "BAKA! You're not a man at all! BARELY EVEN A BOY! And so the two hosts left the stage as the curtains fell, the shorter one still annoying her fellow host with her wide grin. People could hear the sound of Ino getting pissed off, followed by yet another-
WHACK!
Yep. The 'WHACK!' thing is becoming a recurring joke. I can't help it. I'd probably do the same thing if my gay friend and I were to ones there, but then again you don't know them.
So... Best Paternal Figure, huh? Yeah. I admit I think I missed some. I'm not sure, but yeah.

Anyone who uses them without permission is in danger of being hit by a 'stray' Rasengan from a cranky, newly-awoken Naruto (he's still asleep, but I know how to do a lot of things). Trust me, you don't like it when you wake him up too early.
