"Come on, guys, we gotta hurry!" The voice of 12-year-old Mike Mazinsky called out to her best friends, next to three boys known as the Eds, Lu and Og.
"You shouldn't rush a princess, Mike." Lu advised.
"Yeah, it'd be a shame that they have to hold back the whole Award Show just for the precious princess." Mike rolled her eyes.
"That's right!" Lu huffed as she carried Lancelot in her arms. "Isn't that right, Lancelot? You know it is?" she then cooed to her pet turtle.
Lancelot seemed to roll his eyes at Lu's behavior.
"We don't have time for this," Og replied. "Who knows if the show is being filmed by now?"
"He's got a point," Mike said as they soon left the island to get into a boat to get into Cartoon Network City. "Come on, guys."
"I doubt anyone's watching," Lu grumbled. "I bet the people in the real world are too busy watching the Kids Choice Awards from Nicktropolis anyway."
"Speaking of Nicktropolis, I hope Reggie, Otto, Sam, Twister, Arnold, Jimmy, SpongeBob, and Eliza are watching," Mike smiled. "I wrote a letter to them all about our new award show: The First Annual 13th Fancy Anvil Awards Show."
"Boy, that's a mouthful." Og commented.
"It sure is," Mike added dryly. "It sure wasn't my idea."
"I just know that I want the award for Best Princess." Lu beamed.
"I doubt that's a category." Og replied.
Mike chuckled at that while Lu glared at her tomboy friend and cousin.
"We'll catch up with you dears in a moment or two," Marjorie smiled at Mike, Lu, and Og. "You have a good trip over while we go along."
"Is Old Queeks gonna come too?" Mike asked.
"I doubt it, Mike," Alfred replied. "I think his bedtime's at 5:00, but he aweady knows that you kids arwe going to the awawd show. He saw it in the futuwe."
"Yeah, I bet he did." Mike rolled her eyes at that before she soon rode away in the boat with Lu and Og.
"Oh, what an exciting evening for the Cartoon Network stars," Wendell gushed. "...So long as those Cuzzlewitz aren't invited."
"I don't think so, Wendell," Marjorie replied. "As well as those Nicktoons that Weasel forbids for us to socialize with, except for maybe that one time when Mike met that Otto Rocket boy."
"What's next? Otto Rocket finds a way ovah hewe?" Alfred tried to joke.
"Don't joke," Marjorie warned. "Let's just get ready for the show ourselves."
"Ah, wight-o, I won't wet anything stand in my way of pwepawing for tonight's big night!" Alfred proclaimed.
Just as he said that, a certain wombat soon ran in the background.
"Wight after I nab that dastawdwy wombat!" Alfred then said as he began to chase the wombat with his plunger bow and arrows. "Come back hewe, I say!"
Marjorie and Wendell both face-palmed and shook their heads at that.
Mike, Lu, and Og soon rushed over as quickly as possible as everybody else was away from home and already heading over to where they had to go for the Award Show that was probably bigger than the Oscars. Cartoon Network had once tried to do an award show a few years ago called The Golden Betty Awards Week. While it was still successful, the people thought maybe it would be better for everybody else to get a chance to win other than maybe The Flintstones, but especially Betty Rubble who the award show was named after. Also, the best part was that Mike, Lu, and Og got to have front seats at the award show, mostly due to Mike's closeness with one of the hosts, Johnny Bravo, who saw her as a surrogate daughter sometimes. Luckily, they made it just in time as just about everybody was around. There was a popular fan fiction authoress who was doing announcements and private interviews before the show would start known as the one and only PerkyGoth14.
"Live at the Hanna-Barbera Pavillion, it's The First 13th Annual Fancy Anvil Awards Show Program Special: Live in Stereo!" PerkyGoth14 announced before mumbling something. "Not sure how those numbers add up... And all the stars have turned out for their moment in the spotlight!" she then continued.
A certain Great Dane was soon shown, smiling and waving.
"Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?: tonight's recipient of The Lifetime Achievement Award!" PerkyGoth14 then announced. "Ed, Edd, and Eddy sure love jawbreakers, they're nominated for Best Team tonight! The cast of Goober and the Ghost Chasers!"
The teenage group with their dog smiled, proudly of themselves.
"Totally not a rip-off of Scooby-Doo by the way," PerkyGoth14 mumbled before looking over. "Ooh! There goes either Mike, Lu, or Og, one of the stars of Mike, Lu, & Og!"
"You know who we are!" The three stars complained as they overheard that.
"Yeah, I feel like CartoonNetwork90sFan and I are the only ones though," PerkyGoth14 smirked before seeing a popular Powerpuff Girls villain. "It's Mojo Jojo, the speaking monkey creature from The Powerpuff Girls!"
Mojo crossed his arms firmly as he was shown on camera next. Porky Pig was then shown to be talking with The Red Guy, seeming to share an interest of no pants wearing.
"Mama had a chicken, Mama had a cow, there's Cow & Chicken!" PerkyGoth14 then announced as she found the sibling duo.
Top Cat was then shown with Renee Darson, his adoptive little sister who was a black kitten, and the rest of their gang which was Fancy-Fancy, Spook, Benny the Ball, Brain, and Choo Choo.
"Dexter and Dee Dee!" PerkyGoth14 then exclaimed as the boy genius waved at the camera as his ballerina sister twirled in the background. "Up for four Fancy Anvils tonight! And making a rare public appearance," She then said as she saw the real star of Cartoon Cartoon Fridays who seemed to be with a human woman. "It's F Disc and his lovely wife: Chrisdensa! Get ready, everyone for the night where cartoons shine brightest on the First 13th Annual Fancy Awards Show Program Special Live in Stereo!" she then announced before grunting. "Man, that's a mouthful!"
It then seemed to be time for everybody to come inside for the show as it was 7:00.
"And it all begins now!" PerkyGoth14 announced as everybody came inside and took their seats as a certain man was on stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, Chairman of the Fancy Anvil Awards Committee: The Mayor!"
The audience applauded as music played for the Mayor as he took the stage.
"Greetings and welcome and salutations, everyone!" The Mayor greeted as he looked excited. "I am The Mayor and this has been a banner year for us at Cartoon Network City, wasn't it? Yes, I know it is only March, but I'm talking calendar year here, not fiscal, from right now to last year at this time, so technically it-" he then paused thoughtfully. "Doggone if this isn't confusing..."
Some of the audience chuckled at that.
"Oh, you keep watching the cartoons and we will too!" The Mayor then continued. "We'll keep making them... Making cartoons for you to watch! And yes, some of them will be reruns! That will be a true statement. Oh, who are we kidding? A lot of them will be reruns, but that's fun too, right? Old pals you visit again and again like a reunion! Okay, am I done?" he then asked awkwardly. "This is the Fancy Anvil Awards Show! Did I say that? No... I just did! Uh, goodbye! Have fun! Be good!"
There was then applause before a very special video was shown on the screen beside the Mayor as a dedication to cartoons everywhere.
Every day in Cartoon Land, when cameras stop rolling
Everyone's a pal and life is just ducky!
Then once a year, there comes a night, when every friend you know
Will stab you in the back! (As if you're lucky)
They'll tell you in a minute, that you deserve to win it
As long as you're the one whose name's not mentioned
But just in case you might think I'd behave that way
Let me bring this fact to your attention
When there's no way to get me off of that stage
At the Anvils tonight!
So Tom & Jerry better stay off my turf!
And don't think I'd think twice to step on a Smurf!
No, no one's coming between me and that stage
No one's stopping this smile!
So tell Magilla to keep his feet in the middle
And Fuzzy Lumpkins out of my aisle!
Oh, I laugh and cry with tear-filled eyes when I'm chosen
For every Anvil there tonight, just might be rehearsed
I'll miss a shocking Dior of your ability to every sap of doubt
Because there's no one getting between me and that stage
No one's stealing my show!
No guarantees are getting in my way!
No Wisenheimer duck or Bugs Bunny, I say!
No, no, no, no! No one's getting me off that stage!
At the Anvils tonight!
So tell the Rubbles and Rosie and Bubbles
They won't lighten up like a vixen!
With every judge...
In the...
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
The audience heavily applauded as that song was very great for them, especially seeing various clips of all of their shows.
"Coming up next, it's hosts Johnny Bravo and Anne Maria Karkanis on the First 13th Annual Fancy Anvil Awards Show Program Special Live in Stereo!" PerkyGoth14 announced as it was time for a commercial. "Do I have to keep saying that?" she then muttered in deadpan. "Because that title's kind of annoying."
A/N: So, how was that? If the lyrics are wrong, I apologize, I did my best to listen to the video closely so I could make up the song for this special. Also, if you're wondering, this'll be a mix of classic Cartoon Network along with some newer Cartoon Network (No Teen Titans Go! or Powerpuff Girls 2016 if you're worried about that). Also, before you ask, I'm not sure when this is set, I was thinking classic Cartoon Network, then some other ideas hit me, along with some of mine and CartoonNetwork90sFan's OCs. I hope you enjoy this, I thought it'd be a fun little treat to bring back some Toonyverse work in case we ever return to those. Thank you for reading if you already have, but if you don't read my work or like this story at all, I'm not speaking to you :P just remember to Read & Review!
