The Fifth Gilded Chris Award Ceremony
The four members of the Psycho Producers sat in the bleachers, most nervous about the outcome of the Ceremony. After the day's incident, Luke and Tim were sitting at opposite places of the bleachers, looking away from each other. They weren't looking away to avoid each other, so much as they were to avoid the glares from the girls.
Chris appeared onstage.
"And we have the results of our viewers' votes!" Chris announced as he held up the little white envelope. "And remember. Whoever doesn't receive a Gilded Chris tonight…"
"JUST GET ON WITH IT ALREADY!!!!" All four of them yelled.
Chris nearly fainted from the sudden outburst. "OK, OK! Sheesh! Just trying to build up the drama here; the audience loves it! Anyway, Mary, having won Invincibility, gets the first Award."
Chris threw the miniature version of himself to Mary, who quickly snatched it.
"The next one goes to Jen." A second one was thrown, and the cheerleader caught it. She and Mary exchanged another hi-five.
Chris looked at the two remaining castmates, both of whom were now staring intently at the small Gilded Chris. They shared a brief glance, but quickly looked away from each other.
"Tim and Luke. Breaking into a fight in the middle of the challenge? I mean, it's bad enough to have a fight in the first place, but with your own teammates? Seriously! It's no shocker that you two are on the chopping block tonight."
Luke and Tim both had guilty looks on their face.
"Anyway, the viewers have voted, and it's time to decide your fate."
Tim stared intently, sweating hard. He was so nervous, he almost felt hotter than he did when he was covered in chili.
"The final Gilded Chris for tonight goes to…"

The brainiac instantly regained his confidence as he caught the Award.
"WHAT?" Tim asked, standing up in his seat.
"Ha, ha!" Luke laughed. "I told you that you were going home tonight, after the stunt you pulled!"
"Hey, you sprayed me with hot chili sauce!"
"You sprayed me with laughing gas!!"
"Smarty-pants!"
"Bookworm!"
"Enough!" Chris exclaimed. The two teens stopped arguing and looked back at the host. "Now, as much as I would love for the argument to keep going, and help improve the ratings, Tim can't stay here forever. So sayonara, Tim!"
Tim growled in frustration. "Fine! If that's what the viewers want, then FINE! As long as I'm away from that guy!" He angrily pointed at Luke. "Mr. Know-It-All!"
"Stephen King fanatic!!"
"NO ONE INSULTS MY FAVORITE AUTHOR!!!!" Tim charged at his former best friend, but a massive hand swung down in front of him and stopped him. It was Chef. Grabbing the bookworm around the waist, he hoisted the scrawny teen over his shoulder and carried him down the Red Carpet of Shame.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" He screamed helplessly as the massive man carried him away. He looked up to see Luke, with a cocky grin, waving goodbye.
Author's Note: Fedora Kid should have mentioned this at the end of the previous chapter, but he was in a bit of a rush to finish the last part of it and update it, so he forgot to. Fedora Kid wants to give a big thanks to Totaldramafinficman77 for suggesting the idea of a Superhero genre challenge used in this chapter.
Oh, and since no one could figure out the trivia question at the end of the previous chapter, here's the answer: Well, first of all, here's the line: "HELP! I'M BURNING! I'M BURNING! I NEED SOMETHING TO COOL ME!"
And now here's the song reference: The first part of verse five of Elvis Presley's number one hit, Burning Love. For those who don't know it, here's the verse:
Burning, burning,
Burning, and nothing to cool me…
Hope you enjoyed that little bit of trivia!
AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Fedora Kid is sorry to say this, but he probably won't be updating this story for about two weeks or so, starting Friday, the third of July, because his family is going on vacation for the Fourth of July, and Fedora Kid, though he'll be bringing his computer along, probably won't get Internet where he's going. So if the story's not updated for about two and a half weeks, you'll know why. Just to specify it; Fedora Kid didn't want anyone to think that he's giving up on the story or anything.
So until next time, this is Fedora Kid, signing out!
