The audience screamed. Dwayne and Emily screamed. Shark screamed and finally, Wolf screamed. He vigorously shakes Snakes. "Snakes! Wake up! The jig is up!"
"Freeze right there!"
Wolf stopped shaking Snake and looked out into the audience to see who it was. He knew it was a room full celebrities (and the only one that stood out was Shark disguised as Domee Shi), but then he saw the center doors were wide open and who had shouted.
It was those tween girls from "Turning Red". All three of 'em color coded and standing confidently at the door with two holding open the doors with one hand (Priya on the left and Abby on the right) and the tall one (Miriam) , in the middle pointing fiercely at Wolf.
"You guys aren't goin' anywhere!" said Miriam forcefully.
Wolf just hung up there in shock holding onto his limp unconscious friend. What were they doing here!? Before the heist, Shark had subdued the real Domee Shi, so Shark can disguise himself as her to sneak in. Only Domee was supposed to be here in case she won! Why are the girls here!?
Wolf got his answer when he suddenly heard loud and ground thumping footsteps in the room. Was it an earthquake? A huge shadow filled the room and behind the girls in the doorway stood a giant red panda!
Wolf gasped.
Holy smokes! He and the gang were caught red handed by a red panda!
Mei, the giant red panda, had a smug look on her face and raised up a big red furry arm to show the whole room of celebrities, and Wolf, a fish bowl full of water with what looked to be a some kind of big fish in it, Wolf squinted his eyes and we zoom in on the fish bowl to see it's Piranha stuffed in there as the bowl was too small to contain him. He had his face and fins pressed against the glass and looked uncomfortable.
Wolfs eyes widened in shock. Mei must've gotten to him.
-
"That's not all we found!" said Mei heroically. She steps aside and a woman in an evening dress walks in with a scornful look on her face and crosses her arms.
It was the real Domee Shi!
The audience gasps and Domee sharply turns to glare at her "copy". The audience turns to look at the "copy" and even Wolf turns to look nervously. Shark stood in silence and darted his eyes around trying to come up with a clever excuse for all this.
He extended out his fins toward Domee Shi and cries out happily "My long lost twin sister!" It was a no sell and his wig fell off to further emphasize it.
Wolf face palms.
Shark screams and babbles incoherently as he runs for the door on the left. Wolf was embarrassed by this "Can this get any worse!?"
Shark was almost toward the doors when it suddenly burst open to a bright blinding light and reveal a small shadowy feature brandishing a sword at Shark. Shark stopped and gasped at the sword almost turning him into shish kebob. The audience silently gasped in astonishment as Shark slowly backed away revealing the feature from the bright light to be an anthropomorphic orange cat in boots.
It was Puss in Boots himself!
"Where you going senior?" said Puss smugly
Wolf felt defeated "I guess it can"
-
"That's right, back it up now amigo" said Puss was Shark continued to slowly continued to do so fearfully "Go on, keep it up," starts making truck back noises "Beep! Beep! Beep!" he chuckles to himself.
Wolf watched his plan backfire on him and then felt a quick tug and looked up. Apparently, due to Snake being unconscious, he didn't have the strength anymore to hold himself and Wolf up and thus, the grip Snake had at the top of which he lowered themselves was loosening. This wasn't good for Wolf. "Oh no"
Before he knew it, he and Snake lost their hold and fell down right on the stage. Wolf screamed and fell flat on his stomach with the unconscious Snake falling onto him.
"Oof" said Wolf
Mei, her friends and Domee Shi walked down the aisle way to meet up with the Bad Guys on stage.
"As soon as our animator, Ms.Shi, managed to untie herself and get outta the storage room she was locked in, she called us up to handle this mess" said Mei and then holds up the fish bowl with Piranha crammed inside "Then we found this little guy and stuffed him in a fish bowl we brought over when Ms.Shi said it was the Bad Guys that were behind it"
"We'd have him sleep with the fishes" said Priya deadpanly and turned to whisper to one of the celebrities "But we didn't wanna go with the whole meta humor thing"
They walked up the steps to the stage when Abby said enthusiastically, "He thought he'd win this game of "Go Fish", but we said, "Go F-""
"ABBY!?" stopped Miriam as they all stood next to Wolf and Snake on the ground.
"Whaaaaaat!?"
Wolf finally got up by shoving the passed out Snake off him, picking up his dropped night vision goggles and putting them back in his coat pocket, annoyingly straightening himself out by adjusting his coat and brushing back his fur on his head. This was the most humiliating bust he ever had. Defeated by a bunch of pre-teen girls (one of which is a red panda) and a cat with fancy boots on. Speaking of which, Puss had Shark back up right onto the stage next to him for all the audience to gawk at.
Miriam looked around. Someone was missing "Where's the spider?"
-
They all looked at Wolf for the answer. He just shrugged dismissively. It was bad enough he plan was foiled, but he hated being put on the spot too. Still, he looked worried about Webs since she was still out loose and not caught like the rest of the gang.
"Here she is!"
Everyone looked to see a small feature coming down the aisle way holding up a piece of cardboard in one hand and keeping tight a glass lid on the top with the other. In between the cardboard and glass sat a pouty Tarantula with all her arms crossed in annoyance.
The feature carrying her in was Pinocchio!
He walked up the steps to the stage as he said, "I thought I'd make her a friend for Jiminy, but he wasn't interested". Tarantula makes a scoff at that sounding offended. "He wasn't interested in bad girls" he stood next to Mei and her friends and lifts up the glass lid to free Tarantula. The gang was already defeated and caught so there was no need to keep her contained.
Tarantula leaped off the cardboard, landed on the ground and crawled up Wolf to sit on his left shoulder. Wolf looked to her as if to say how the Hell she got caught when she could've just drove off to escape.
She paused for a moment and she threw up her hands and said, "They booted your car and took my laptop okay!" She gestures to Pinocchio "Plus this kids died several times! I highly doubt he'd be afraid of spiders" crosses of all her arms and looks away.
The audience laughs
Tarantula didn't think it was funny. She looked out into the crowd "Oh shut up"
-
Wolf sighed. Well, it was all over. Everyone was caught, they'd be forced to give up the Oscar and be hauled off to jail. There was nothing else they could do.
He kneeled down to where Snake was laying unconscious w/ his tongue sticking out and poked him a few times "Hey! Hey Snakes! Snakes! Wake up! Man, it's over! We've been caught!" Snake still didn't wake up.
"Here" said Tarantula "Let me try" she clears her throat "LAST CALL!"
Still nothing. The audience laughs again.
Tarantula was disturbed. She looked out into the crow again "What is the matter with you people!? Our friend is unconscious and you all laugh!?" the crowd was silence in shame "You people are horrible!"
Puss gestured to the audience to settle down "It's okay amigos! It's okay! I will fix this" he steps towards to unconscious Snake and examines him. He then raises his sword over his head and holds it tight with both paws.
Everyone (mostly the Bad Guys) gasped.
Puss raises his sword higher over Snake clenching his teeth and swiftly lowers it down to…….do a quick heart pressure point motion on his body.
Snake abruptly wakes up and gasps as makes a quick jump off the stage. Everyone backs up slightly.
Snakes heavily pants for a moment clenching his heart with his tail. "What happened!? Where am I!?" he looks around sees his gang, a group of colorful tweens w/ a giant red panda, Puss and a wooden puppet. He was more confused "When did we get to The Kid's Choice Awards!?"
The audience laughs once again.
-
"It's over Snakes" said Wolf "we all got busted-" gestures behind him with his thumb "and the cops will be here soon" he put his hands in his pockets and shrugs "I know it stinks, but we gave it our all and now it's over"
"WHAT!?" cried Snake angrily. He sternly points to Wolf with his tail "Well none of this would've happened had you not followed what I said about stealing the real award!"
Wolf sternly pointed a finger at Snake "Well you got greedy and wanted to take everything else and not settle-" holds up one finger "with just one! What happened to what you said about not making things personal!? Huh? It clouds your thinking!"
Snake looked down in what looked to be a reluctant shame. Wolf was right. He did tell Wolf that making heists personal was too much and that sticking to petty thievery was more safe. He let his guard down and got greedy thus having his team fall apart and get caught. He sighs.
"Alright!" said Snake begrudgingly "I let this happen. I wanted too much. I couldn't be satisfied with just one award, so I wanted more. Then I took it too far and wanted the ultimate grand prize" Wolf and the gang were listening carefully at Snake and couldn't believe he was actually being serious. "I was just so upset at not getting nominated for squat that I felt like our movie was nothing, but a cheap entertainment for the younger demographic" Snake really looked hurt "Not only that, but I felt bad for our creator too, Aaron Blabey. Poor guy struggles with his hectic schedule writing two books each year for our series cuz the demand is just so rough on the guy" Wolf and the guy looked teary eyed as the others looked sympathetic. "Blabey wasn't doin' so hot with his work supporting his wife and kids and was almost gonna quit too" Snake sniffles. He wipes away a tear with the tip of his tail. He makes a small smile "Then he thought up us and thus, we were born. Thanks to us, Blabey was a hit and everyone loved our series. So much so that we got ourselves a movie. A movie!" Snake looks up and raises up his tail as if he's looking to the Heavens "It was as if he saw a light! That gave him a sign to continue what he was doing and to be happy cuz he finally got that push he needed" looks down in sorrow and his tail lowers "It was great and everything until we found out it wasn't good enough for a nominee. Blabes was cool with it, but I wasn't. I felt like we failed our creator and that his hard work was for nothing, but I was wrong" Wolf and the gang were touched that Snakes was really thinking about their creator "So Aaron, if you're watching this, I just wanna say…….I'm sorry" Everyone was wide eyed. Mr.Snake was legitimately apologetic!? "I'm sorry I embarrassed you like this. I'm sorry I dragged my team into this and I'm sorry for ruining the Oscars cuz of my personal petty prob-"
"Wait!" interrupted Mei
-
Everyone looked to Mei.
Mei was at ease as she quickly transformed back into her human form and handed the fish bowl with Piranha crammed inside to Ms.Shi.
"Why don't we have The Bad Guys present the award!" said Mei
The audience gasped.
"What!?" said The Bad Guys
"Yeah!" said Mei and looked her friends and the audience "I mean, if Snakes is really sorry about what he's done, maybe he and the other Bad Guys can make up for it by presenting the award as a show of atonement! Like how they did with their redemption in the movie!"
Mei's friends, Ms.Shi, Puss and Pinocchio looked to one another in agreement smiling and nodding.
Although The Bad Guys were surprised by that gesture, Snake was appalled.
"You want us!" gestures to himself with his tail "to give away our award!? Why don't you just sick a wild mongoose on me!?"
Mei crosses her arms "Well, it's either that or you guys go to jail" she gives Snake a look and a raised eyebrow.
Snake was nervous and turned to his gang then at the others. His gang looked okay with it and the others were really pressing on Snake to agree to that compromise with smug looks. He kept goin' back and forth at the both of them struggling to decide. He was sweating, stuttering and stressed. What a dilemma. Should he give up the award he wishes he and the gang need or go to jail. He stopped and thought hard. He looked like he was gonna pop a blood vessel.
Dwayne Johnson kneeled down and grinned as he handed Snake the envelope with the winners name for Best Animated Feature Film.
Snake slumped in defeat. "ALRIGHT! FINE! WE'LL DO IT!"
The audience cheers and applauds.
