Jason struggles back onto the stage, limping profusely, his eye already swelling. He smiles broadly to Matt, an evil grin, and whispers something quietly to him, before turning to the crowd.
"Songs can inspire people. They can raise a person to new heights, or drop them to the lowest depths. The people who write song-fics felt so strongly, that they put that verse to print, tying it in to a story, and letting everyone see just a little bit of themselves."
Matt just grabs onto Jason, steadying him. "Man, are you sure you're okay? I mean, it looks like you took a pretty good beating there."
Jason just waved his hand, nodding. "I'm all good. So, let's welcome the presenters for Best Songfic… Josh Mankey and the O Boyz!"
Josh strolls in from the right, quite dapper in his tux. The O Boyz, coming in from the left though, are dressed in their regular performing clothes. Josh just gives them the once over before reaching for the microphone.
"Music, and the interpretation of music into prose, has been one of the first forms of fanfic expression since the beginning of the internet."
The O Boyz grabbed the microphone, passing it between them. "Songfics have been used to describe love…"
"And hate…"
"And pain…"
"And joy!"
Josh took the microphone again now. "And the nominees for best songfic are…"
To Love You More, by PepperMintKitten…
A tear escaped Ron's eye as he felt Kim's lips on his. This was all so knew to him. It scarred him. Yet, he knew he would be safe. He was with Kim. Kim would never hurt him. Kim would always be there for him. Holding back a sob, Ron wrapped his arms around her now limp figure.
I'll be waiting for you
The two slowly pulled away. They were both dazed and confused. Kim kept her eyes closed as she tried to calm her racing heart. Ron tried to hold in his tears as he slowly looked at her. Kim nervously looked up at him. The two just starred at each other with wavering eyes. Both unsure of what had just happened, and how this would change things. "I.I." Started Kim. But Ron stopped her by gently bringing his lips back onto hers.
I'm the one who wants to love you more
Kim closed her eyes and began to kiss back. She'd never felt this way about anyone before. It was all new to her. It scarred her. Yet, she knew there was nothing to worry about. This was Ron. Sweet, caring, lovable Ron. He would never do anything to hurt her. He never had. Kim held back tears that were now threatening to fall. Softly she brought her hands up to Ron's head, her fingers running through his hair. His hair was so soft at the nape of his neck.
You will see I can give you
Ron slowly pulled away. Kim looked up at him dazedly. "Kim." He whispered. Kim closed her eyes, her breathing heavy. Ron bent his head and gently nuzzled her cheek. "I love you." He whispered softly in to her ear. Kim gasped as she pulled away to look into his eyes. He meant it. It was all there in his eyes. Those soft, brown eyes. Kim sobbed as she laid her head down onto his chest. "I love you too Ron." She whispered, barely audible. But he heard it. Ron wrapped his arms around her as he let the tears fall down his cheeks. Only this time, they were tears of happiness and belonging.
Something More, by Zaratan…
If I know nothing else in my life, it's that I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you, to try and make you as happy as you are making me this day, to prove to you every day just how much you means to me, in every conceivable way, and in every manner under the sun!
I never wanted something more, and never felt so sure,
'Cause now I've got this chance to be, everything you saw in me
And even more than I ever dreamed before,
As long as you are here with me, I know that I can be something more
I can't imagine my life without you there beside me!
You make me want to be something more
I love you Kimberly Ann Possible, with all my heart!
You make me want to be something more
"I now declare you, husband and wife."
You Look So Fine, by Glittery Doom…
(You look so fine.
I want to break your heart,
and give you mine.
You're taking me over.
It's so insane.
You've got me tethered and chained.
I hear your name, and I'm falling over)
I don't know how I ended up here, in this dark, foggy club where the music pounds too loud in my ears and the lights blind my eyes and you can smell the ectasy in the air and the heady scent of sex that floats around like a vioulet cloud. I stand, pressed against the walls, watching. Watching her. The way her hips swivel left to right, the way she dances in the assorted cluster of boys and girls. They all reach out to steal touches of the raven goddess, to feel her pale skin and be seen in those emerald eyes. And god, I want to be the one touching her.
(I'm not like all the other girls.
I can't take it like the other girls.
I won't share it like the other girls,
that you used to know.
You look so fine.)
She moves in time to the music, and I can feel my needs growing. The needs to push her against a wall and kiss her hard and rough, just feeling our lips press against each other, her tongue slipping over mine. She invades my senses, just the way she moves. A bolder girl moves closer to the raven goddess, moving against her, touching her skin. And jealousy, bitter like poison grows in the back of my throat as I watch my beautiful goddess be polluted by the strange girl's kisses and touches. I want to be the one kissing her neck.
"And the winner is…
Something More, by Zaratan!"
Jason looks up in shock yet again, as he frantically tries to dab at the blood on his lip. He staggers quickly to the podium, grabbing on quickly for support.
"You people really love me, don't you? Seriously, I am… I am just touched… and it's not just the concussion talking here. You people, you're all the greatest! Thank you so much yet again!"
Jason heads back to the side, and Matt helps him slide to the floor for a moment's rest. After watching Jason for a moment as he stroked the award, mumbling about 'his precious', Matt got back to the matter at hand.
"While my partner recovers, let's go to Great Big Sea, and Ordinary Day!"
I've got a smile on my face, I've got four walls around me
The sun in the sky, the water surrounds me
I'll win now but sometimes I'll lose
I've been battered, but I'll never bruise... it's not so bad
And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day,
you've just got to say... it's all right.
See that girl on the street, what keeps her from dying
Let them say what they want, she won't stop trying, oh no…
She might stumble, if they push her 'round
She might fall, but she'll never lie down... it's not so bad…
And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day,
you've just got to say... it's all right.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
(Cue the solo…)
It's a beautiful day, but there's always some sorrow
It's a double edged knife, but there's always tomorrow
It's up to you now if you sink or swim,
Keep the faith and you're ship will come in.
And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day,
you've just got to say...
I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day,
you've just got to say... it's all right.
Cause I've got a smile on my face, and I've got four walls around me.
