Chapter 39 – Best Crossover and Best Alternate Pairing
Once Soulja Boy's tune came to an end, Sarah went to the podium when the lights came back on.
"Welcome back everyone to the fourth of 14 segments of the Fannies where the next two winners will be revealed. Once again, here's Sharper, EchindaPower, and GhostWriter presenting the award for Best Cross-over!"
Sharper, Echinda and Ghost all came up on the stage. Ghost had the envelope with the Best Xover winner and the Golden Rufus.
"The idea of joining one fandom to another has been as old as itself. And Kim Possible is no stranger to crossovers."
"Didn't one with Lilo and Stitch exist?" Echinda asked.
"Yes, I am aware of that crossover, Echinda." Sharper said, rolling his eyes, "But we're not talking about the show itself."
Turning to the audience, Sharper continued, "There have been over 700 crossovers in the deep archives of ever since the show first aired that fateful June 7, 2002. Danny Phantom is the most common crossover with KP with 41 fanfics to its name with the anime Naruto..."
Wolfy squealed for joy into the silent audience, "Yes, anime!" She started to sing obscure anime theme songs.
"Wolfy...quiet your howls, please!" Sharper insisted before continuing his speech, "...in a close second with 37. But these six finalists stand out from the 2016 calendar year as being the best of the best. The finalists are..."
The lights dimmed as Sharper announced the finalists for Best Crossover
Rise of the Monkey King by DJ Mirium, cross-over with Miraculous Ladybug
The smoke made the heroes stop to cough. Chat heard the sound of glass breaking and ran toward the sound. He cleared the smoke and saw Monkey Fist taking the staff in his hands and place the crown on his head.
"Hands off the merchandise," Chat yelled.
"Sorry, but I will be taking my leave. Monkey Ninjas! Return to base!"
Monkey Fist and his ninjas leapt away but Chat was in hot pursuit. But when he got to the roof, they were gone.
"Chat! Where's Monkey Fist," cried Ladybug as she and Kim and Ron joined him.
"Gone. They got away."
"What now," asked a worried Ladybug.
"We'll call it in," said Kim breaking out her communicator.
Ladybug then heard her earrings beep.
"Oh, I have to go! My transformation is about to wear off!"
"It's ok, do what you need to do. We'll be in touch," smiled Kim and then gave a wink.
Ladybug smiled and swung away. Chat just stared longingly at her till Ron cleared his throat.
"You should go, too. We'll take it from here," said Ron. Chat nodded and was about to jump away when Ron called out. "And Adrien." Adrien stopped and his eyes went wide as he looked at them. Kim just smiled and nodded as her way of saying it's alright, his secret is safe. "Keep in mind what I said about Ladybug. It will happen when the time is right," smiled Ron.
Machinations by Waveform, cross-over with Transformers
I was already at Shego's Faraday cage cell when Will and Dr. Director got there. I was wearing my black and blue battlesuit, and Shego was outside the door and had been shackled and fitted with the signal blocker; a combination belt and head unit that, in theory, would stop any unauthorized radio signals from reaching the nanites in her bloodstream by creating a radio scrambler field around her.
"I still think this isn't gonna work," Shego sneered.
"You'd better hope it does," I shot back. "I don't want to get covered in Shego splatter."
"More like you don't want to get turned into Kimmie kibble when I go boom."
"Will both of you just shut up?" Will snapped.
"Oh look," Shego said in a singsong voice. "It's little Willy Dufus and his handler, the Nick Fury wannabe."
"Keep it up, Shego," Dr. Director said, "and I just might let that self destruct signal come through."
I shot Dr. Director a death glare. "What part of 'unknown blast radius' don't you two understand? If she goes up, she could take this entire base with her! What, did you think I was making that up?"
"Yes," was all Will said.
I let out a groan, rolled my eyes, and walked on. Shego was on my right, and Ron was on my left. Will and Dr. Director were bringing up the rear. It was slow going, due mainly to Ron being on crutches, and that was getting to the GJ reps.
"Can we please hurry this along?" Will complained.
To my surprise, Ron turned around and let into Will. "You try getting your knee shot out at close range and see how fast you move!"
I put my hand on Ron's shoulder. He cringed on reflex, as if physical contact now meant pain. He looked at me with a worried look on his face. I smiled and mouthed the words "Nice one."
Connecting the Dots by RufusPrime54, crossover with Marvel
Hello," Ron said.
"Hello Agent Barton," Kim said teasingly.
"Well Good Evening to you Agent Romanov," Ron replied. "Watcha up to?"
"Downloading files from Stark's computer," Kim said nonchalantly.
"Woah," Ron said. "Hasn't he got some high tech security system. It has a name. It's umm…"
"Jarvis?" Kim asked.
"Yeah," Ron said.
"Bypassed it easily," Kim said. "Wade could have done it in his sleep."
All of a sudden Kim heard a snort on the other line.
"Ron," Kim said. "Did you just scoff at what I said."
"No," Ron said.
"Someone is on this line," Kim said. "I'm tracing the origin."
"No wait," a voice said.
Kim knew that voice.
"Wade?"
"Yeah," Wade said. "I sorta figured out some stuff."
"How?" Ron asked.
"Well I was very upset when you two died," Wade said. "I thought that it was my tech's fault that the Sloth crashed. So I ran some diagnostics and they came back irregular. So I may or may not have hacked a government satellite and looked for signs of confrontation or anything mentioning your names. I only really figured it out with your mess with Shego. By the way, what happened to her. I must've lost the feed for the end of the conversation."
"Nothing important," Kim lied. She was realizing what could possibly happen to Wade with protocol.
"Okay," Wade said. "Well then I started to go a little further, and start tracking the body signatures that I found on you when you were with Shego."
"Well Wade," Kim said. "I-," but she was cut off by the comm ringing.
"Got to go," Kim said and she ended the call.
"Go," Kim said into the comm.
"Stark is headed your way," Coulson said. "Fast."
"ETA," Kim asked.
"2 minutes tops," Coulson said.
"Shit," Kim said. "Okay I'll be out asap."
Kidnapped by JustSaiyan123, crossover with Dragonball Z
Kim knew what she was talking about. She was going to try and find her so she could finish what she initially planned. Now might be as good as ever to start escaping while she still had the chance. The teen cast her eyes to Junior below and decided to take him with her. It was no longer safe for him and her to stay around awhile longer.
"Come on, buddy, time to jet," Kim whispered to him in a rushed voice.
Without further ado, the both moved away from the bush, ultimately departing from the clearing. No one but L seemed to notice the movement from the outskirts of the clearing. Quickly, she used this as an opportunity to get away from the three.
"I'll leave by myself," L affirmed. "I don't need an escort." And with that, the woman rushed into the direction of what she thought the heroine was at.
"Go after her," Goku ordered Trunks, very brisk. "And make sure she's safe."
Trunks nodded at once and chased after the female assassin, blind to her hidden, sinister intentions while Goku faced Cell. Meanwhile, Kim was bolting through the forest, now attempting to come in contact with Wade on her Kimmunicator. She figured the energy field was down, so now was her only shot at escaping while she still could.
"Come on.. come on.." she murmured hastily. "Pick up, Wade!"
A feeling of despair began to form as time took its toll on her. Before the feeling could blossom, the young tech genius answered the call. Before he had, he was drinking his soda from a straw, but seeing as Kim's face popped onto his screen he spat his beverage back out onto the screen.
"K-KIM!?"
"Oh, Wade! You have no idea how glad I am to see you!" the heroine exclaimed.
"I-I can't believe it's actually you!"
"Yeah, real shocker, I know, Wade, but that's besides the point!" she said abruptly. A question formed in her head, but as it formed she felt a pang in her heart. "I.. I don't know where Ron is. Can you find him?"
"What, do you think I have him micro-chipped or something?"
Stones in the Force by Eoraptor, cross-over with Star Wars
"Miss Possible," Commander Rex stood stiffly at attention in the doorway to Kim's small quarters, watching the redhead human, who was reading from some info pad she had found. "I've been sent to bring you to the Council Chamber."
Kim looked up in mild consternation. She had just got back from that darned ice ball they called Hoth, and had been promised a little down time from her Jedi task masters. It wasn't that she didn't like helping out, nor that she had anything better to do, but these guys seemed all too willing to take advantage of her situation and her unique condition in this universe.
"I've already made my report, Commander, can't this wait? My darned eyebrows are still frosty!"
~that's not all that's frosted up~ the clone thought, trying not to notice the way her skin was paler than usual and her tight black flight suit displayed her more feminine bits reaction to the cold. Shaking his head, he sighed with understanding. "Sorry ma'am, but they want to see you, we found something interesting that directly concerns you."
Sighing and seeing she had little choice in the matter, Kim rose to her feet and stretched. "And what did I tell you about that Ma'am crud? You're practically old enough to be my father."
Kim actually knew she was older than the trooper, by virtue of his being grown in a test tube, but he certainly didn't 'look' twelve years old, nor act it. "Sorry ma-, mi-… My apologies, Kim, force of habit. "
A few minutes tube ride later found Kim back in the Council Chambers of the Jedi Masters. After two months here, she was starting to get a feel for the way things worked amongst these feudal guardians of the Republic. Today master Kenobi and his knight-squire Skywalker were in attendance, along with Grand Master Yoda, and the tall guy Something-or-other-Mundi. Master Windu and the blue tentacle woman Ayala were present via holograms, as were a few others she had never met.
"Welcome you, we do, Miss Possible." Yoda inclined its head to her and smiled that odd smile as its ears wiggled. "Please to be watching this, would you? Concerned we are that another of your kind found has been. Perhaps some light upon this you could shed?"
And lastly, KP in Equestria Girls, by Aerotendo, crossover with My Little Pony
Kim could see that Applejack was happy to hear the news but still nervous about asking, so she steps forward and says, "What is the matter? What do you need our help with?"
Applejack takes a moment to collect herself, "Well then, Ah was wondering if you'd come back with me to help with a little bit of a fixin Ah'm having. Y'all can say no right now if ya'd like but my friends are missing and I'm not sure what to do. Swearin' something just dudden add up right and when Ah got your most recent letter. It gots me to figgerin' that there is something wicked done happening in Equestria."
Kim is about to say something when Ron steps up and says, "Sure thing! We'll help you cousin or my name isn't Ron Stoppable!"
Applejack relaxes a bit visibly and smiles, "Ah'm most pleased to hear that cuz, because I've been worryin' mahself sick over my friends."
Kim went into mission mode and says, "So what's the sitch? Where and when did you last see your missing friends? Who is exactly missing?"
Applejack raises her hands, "Whoa there, sugarcube. That's a-mighty lot of questions to be answering right away but I am having one of my own, like what's exactly a 'sitch'?"
Ron quickly says, "Oh, that is Kim-speak for "What is the situation?" She did it when we were in pre-k and I thought it was so cool and she's done it ever since."
Kim smiles a little at Ron as she thinks, "Ron noticed! How sweet of him."
Applejack nods to them, "Ah get it. Anyway, to be getting back to the questions. I last be seeing them all in my town of Ponyville. I saw them just last weekend. Mah friends Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie are missing."
Kim nods as she takes in the information, "Then we need to start there."
Applejack smiles in relief, "Ah was hoping to be hearing s'mething like that to be honest." She turns to the door, opening it and reveals Big Macintosh sitting in a truck, bringing a hand up to wave as he smiles at the sight of Applejack, Kim, and Ron.
Kim looks at the old truck with mud on the wheels and fenders, leftover hay strands sticking out of the back and signs of rust on a few corners and the bumpers. It sat just a few feet behind Kim's car and she wonders how long it would take for them to get to wherever Equestria was in the truck.
Once the finalists list was read, Ghost said, "The envelope, Sharper!" Without hesitation, he handed it to him.
"And the Golden Rufus for Best Crossover goes to...Connecting the Dots by RufusPrime54.
RufusPrime was in shock when he won his second award. He came up on the stage and accepted the award from Echinda's hands. RufusPrime then went the microphone to say his piece:
Thank you so much for this award. This is the second one I have won tonight and I couldn't be happier! This time around I would like to thank my family that always encouraged my to write and extend my creative bounds ever since I started writing my Sophomore year in high school.
Well, every great crossover event starts with the first book, and I never expected this to win any awards. I first got this idea for the crossover from a picture I saw on Twitter if you can believe that. I mean how else would someone get that idea? Kim Possible being a Soviet Super spy, killing at will and not really the nicest person? But I saw it as a challenge and decided to connect the dots, pun intended.
This story so far has been my best work, and I hope my writing only gets better from here. I have great plans for this series going forward and it all started with this crossover book. I thank you all again for this honor, and look for me in a couple years when I'm eligible for this award again. Thank you!
With that, RufusPrime held onto his Golden Rufus and walked off the stage.
"So far, things have been progressing nicely!" CajunBear whispered to Sentinel.
"Yes. No crazy robots, no security malfunctions, nothing that would bring the Fannies Committee in the red yet." Sentinel said.
Sharper resumed his position on the platform. "For our next three awards, starting with this one, we'll invite current KP fans who ship their following respective couples. The first of the three are the alternate pairings that are not Kim/Ron or Kigo. So I would like to invite the Drakken/Shego shippers that we have in tonight's audience, followed by the Rongo shippers, and then other pairings besides those two to come up the stage.
Legionnaire, Wolfie, TI, GorillaKing18, Neo the Saiyan Angel, and Emersonian came up on the stage.
(dialogue goes here)
"Shipping in the Kim Possible universe has been a staple of this fandom ever since the show first premiered." Legionnaire began. "Of course, the two most common pairings are Kim with Ron and Kim with Shego."
"Although there has been a lot of fanart about the other ships of KP, especially the pairing of Drakken/Shego..." TI said, looking at both Wolfie and Legionnaire, for they too were famed Drakken/Shego artists. "...not much has been dedicated in the area of fanfiction."
"Where's the love of sidekicks?" GorillaKing asked. "Rongo is really popular too! I mean, just look at the sheer number of reviews!"
"A love with Monkey Fist is the dream for me!" Emersonian said, making a heart shape with her hands/
"Regardless of ships that we support, here are the following nominees for best Alt Shipping Couple.
Ron and Amelia – A Badger and A Sloth – kmtdiccon
Ron smiled and retorted without any trace of malice "Well, duh! Anyone would be blind if they didn't fall for someone like you." He took a bite on his Naco and let out a sigh of bliss from the flavor, not really noticing her heated face. Amelia swore the AC went down, because right now she's feeling a bit hot. If anyone from school sees her state, her image would be shattered. She felt her spine tingled when she thought about her friends in the newspaper club. If anyone from there saw how big of a mess she is right now, she knew she will be a laughing stock. She could already see the headlines, printed in big bold letters, about how much of a blusher she is.
"Gosh! Get your head in the game, Amelia! You can't let them see you like this." Amelia mentally slapped herself to get back into her normal form. Going back to reality, the brunette saw the boy, who just finished his food, with a satisfied grin on his face. She then throw the question back at him and asked "And how about you? What is the Ron-man's plans for prom? As far as I remember, you do have a list of girls you would usually ask, right?"
"Yeah, I still have it." Ron's goofy smile widened and answered "The playa' is a generous man, so I still give them a chance to be with the Rondo. Although they still turn me down for reasons I still don't know. Hmm, maybe I'd eventually go with Kim, assuming she didn't get any date lined up for her."
Amelia just laughed and soothed the boy when she saw his perplexed face "Don't be so down. You may never know, this would be your year. It's like what they always say, the third time's the charm!" The blonde eyed the girl, who just grinned at him, and let out a chuckle. Ron remembered a certain event where he said those words, a rather embarrassing memory which includes his clothes and a grappling hook. He quickly shook his head and told her with determination slowly entering his voice.
"That's right. The Mad Dog can't afford to be down. The Mad Dog comes when the Mad Dog wants to play!"
The girl giggled and finished her salad quickly. Putting the utensils on top of the plate, she then said "Hey, Ron. Thanks for the time. I really enjoyed talking to you. It's been a while, you know? I need to go home so I can finish my homework." She didn't want to, but she still have priorities to attend to, and her free time is almost up. Amelia expected his smile to diminish, but Ron just smiled, not bearing any sadness, and just answered "Sure thing, CL. I need to be home anyways, since Rufus here is quite sleepy."
Ron pointed at the naked mole rat, who is peacefully snoring like a baby with a satisfied smile on his face. Amelia giggled and nodded. The two reached for their bags and went towards the door. Ron opened it and said with his goofy tone "Shall we, milady?"
Amelia mock bowed and the two exited the Tex-Mex restaurant merrily, feeling a lot better than when the two arrived.
Drakken and Shego – Stargazing by FuschiaPhoenix
The evil doctor pouted, folding his arms and glaring.
Puffing a strand of hair away from her eyes, Shego said, "How long does it take to collect these cosmic ray thingies anyway?"
"Oh, five or six hours, give or take."
"Five or six?!... Dr. D, it's already 10!"
"Tough!"
Then the tell-tale whoosh of Shego's hands igniting.
"Eh, Shego! Let's n-not be hasty! I-I-I mean I can't control how long it takes! And you want us to conquer the world, don't you?"
Shego reluctantly extinguished her glow.
"Fine! It's not like I'm tired, I just don't want to be bored to tears waiting out here forever."
"Well, I could show you where the constellations and planets are! Or I could tell you about that one time in fifth grade, when Mother gave me a haircut for school pictures. Or the time in high school when I set the school chemistry lab on fire with only a rubber band and a Dorito! Or that other time-"
"Puh-lease! No childhood stories!"
"Alright, constellations it is! Oh, and we better bust out the PB stickies and cocoa moo! I'm already getting the tummy rumbles!"
Shego sighed loudly. He could be such a kid sometimes!
So, the megalomaniac flopped down next to the green lady and began giving a detailed description of the heavens. He traced them in the air, sometimes going off on tangents about the myths behind the sky's connect-the-dot patterns.
For once, Shego didn't think he was being all that boring. It was actually sort of interesting. Although she would never say so.
Ron and Shego from Part-Time Sidekicks by Imyoshi
More asking of random people later and before long, Ron and Shego enter a public library. Luckily they made it an hour before it closed.
Choosing a computer farthest away from prying eyes, Shego leads Ron into a corner. They don't have a library card, but Shego figures if the kimmunicator is all it's cracked up to be, they won't need one.
Plugging the device in, they wait for the kimmunicator to connect and luck would have it, it did. Shego immediately goes to work, using the super computer to hack into government records. The place may be different, but the technology was overall still the same.
"What are you doing?"
Not taking her eyes off the screen or the battery gauge either, Shego continues to hack the system.
"Making us some ID cards, putting some of our info and fake info into the system," she comments offhandedly. "And trying to get us the proper certificates of residence we need."
"You could do that from right here?"
"No," she answers. "We still need to go to a ward office to pick them up. It'll just be easier if we have proof that we live here. I'm changing some details too. Like for instance," she smirks. "You're no longer 17. Congrats, sidekick, you just became 19."
"What?" Ron cries. "And why would you do that?"
She actually stops hacking to turn, rest her arm on the back of the chair, and stare at him with the most nonchalant gaze he's ever seen.
"You want to go back to high school?"
The blood in his veins runs cold at the thought of entering a high school this late. Hell, just the thought of going to high school period make him want throw up. Shego doesn't even have to move as Ron moves her himself, adding a light massage to her shoulders.
"Well, what are you waiting for, Shego!" Ron nervously grins. "Get to hacking."
Of course he could see that smirk of hers and of course he did nothing about it either.
Ron and Monique from That's So Ron by Neotyson
Taking a deep breath, Monique begins to tell Ron what she wants to say. "Before tonight, you made or might not notice that I haven't been interested in guys at the school. Not only is because of my standards but it's because I never been in a relationship. I live with just my mom because my dad left her when I was young and my brother ended up moving with him, so I wasn't taught by a man figure what to expect when dating a guy so while I found men attractive I haven't seen myself with one."
She then takes a step closer to Ron and smiles, "That's until I met you and at first I didn't know how to take you with your Never Be Normal motto but as I hung around you and saw the way you are with Kim as a friend. As an individual, I have grown to like that in you even now you improving yourself which makes it even better."
Ron didn't expect to hear a story like that about Monique and felt his heart beat faster when she confessed her feelings towards him. "Wow Monique, I had no idea about your dad. I thought I had it bad with both parents still together, but they barely are active in my life." This time Ron moves closer to her and says in a serious tone, "I know I'm no parent, but if I were, I would say that I'm proud of you for being the responsible, down-to-earth, and very fashion conscious project partner/friend that you. It's thanks to your pep talk that got me reconsidering things, and now I want to be better not just for you or Kim, but for myself. Please tell me that didn't sound weird..."
With her heart feeling overwhelmed by Ron words and annoyed of the timing of his rambling, Monique grabs his cheeks and kisses him deeply stunning him in the process. Pulling away a little, Monique looks into Ron's eyes with passion. "No it wasn't weird, it was Ron's way of being very sweet and caring. As far as that project partner/friend, I think it's time to change that to partner/girlfriend don't you think?"
All Ron could do is nod his head in agreement, still being stuck in la la land, leading to Monique to give a quick kiss on the lips confirming the start of their new relationship. After telling him goodnight, she heads inside to her room only to hear a loud, "BOO YA." causing her to roll her eyes in amusement and giggle thinking about how life is going to be like now that she's dating Ron Stoppable.
Drakken and Shego from Assorted Ficlets by Purplegirl761
Drakken shoots up a brief prayer, does an even briefer run-through of the periodic table, and nods.
Shego backs up a ways, like she's giving him a smidge more time to adjust, before approaching him again, arms swinging at her sides. When she's close enough that Drakken can see the greenish tinge outlining the wave of her hair, she tips her chin up and, ever so lightly, taps her lips to his.
Her breath is warm against his mouth, and it smells like nothing at all. He scrolls back through his memory to see if he's eaten any garlic meatballs or anything lately. None that he recalls, though Drakken will confess that his memory operates on rather fickle competence.
But since Shego doesn't wrench herself away and start gagging, Drakken decides he must be okay.
The science of the situation begins to unfold for Drakken. Shego's applying firm, even pressure, as if she's tending a wound. The center of her lips lines up exactly with his, so that there's no awkward slide to connect. Even the tilt of her head, at a deliberate thirty-five-degree angle, has the tendons in his neck loosening.
It's not a movie-kiss, not the jamming, grasping kind where the heroine appears to be trying to suck the hero into her own body. It's a caring kiss, and that's what sends a flood of relief through Drakken's iced bloodstream like a sauna. He'd swear it even tingles all the way out to the end of his ponytail, which is scientifically ridiculous since hair is dead - keratin - and can't feel anything.
And then he's - is he pressing back? He thinks he might be pressing back, concentrating on following the blueprints Shego laid out for him, wanting her to feel as loved as he does.
Drakken has no idea when or how to end such an encounter, but luckily Shego seems to. (He doesn't want to seem as though he's impatient to be finished with the thing - even though he sort of maybe kind of is, it's so overwhelming!) She pulls back after a few seconds - minutes? Hours? - and loops her capable arms around his neck.
"So, Doc," she says, her voice playful, "did you like it?"
Drakken nods, struck mute. His brain is still scrambling to process an event written in a code its CPU can't decrypt.
The clock continues with its incessant tick-tocks, though they no longer sound ominous or like they're conspiring to deafen him.
Drakken's lips finally move, and he finds them none the worse for wear as he says, "I did. Maybe - maybe we could even do it again sometime."
Shego throws back her head and lets out a rich laugh that rings like someone jangling their pocket change (which adds a whole other meaning to the description "rich," Drakken realizes now). It's even more beautiful without the bitterness that has nipped so long at its edges. No words are necessary after hearing that.
In fact, Drakken's conditioned himself to the idea that it will be the only noise for a while, so he nearly ricochets off the ceiling when Shego's phone beeps - in his defense, it does so quite loudly.
Shego pulls her phone out, not even bothering to hide her amused twitches as she checks the bar-of-soap-sized screen. "Yikes. I have to be at work in ten. I'll see ya tonight."
It still feels strange, her not working for him. And yet, in a way, they're more of a team than they ever were on the wrong side of the law.
"All right, have fun!" Drakken says. He senses a smile preparing to spring to the corners of his mouth. "Be careful! Don't take any coins that appear to be made of wood. . . or whatever. . ."
Shego flashes him a grateful look and heads for his front door. That's when a question launches itself into Drakken's mind and refuses to be ignored.
"Shego, wait!" he cries.
She turns, fingers curled around the doorframe, half in and half out, frozen in time like a Polaroid he wants to keep.
"Was I good?" Drakken asks, fiddling with his shirt cuff. "I mean - did I do all right?"
For an instant, Shego's face is blank, unreadable. Then it dawns into her slow, sly smile.
"Let's just say" - Shego hikes one shoulder - "some things are worth waiting for."
Last Finalist is Electronique/Adrenna Lynn from Rebound by Emperor of Dreams
Adrena exited the bathroom wrapped in a towel. She was tempted to crawl into the bed naked, but figured it would be better to put something on. She hadn't packed a lot of clothes, not currently owning much in that line, so she just put on a clean pair of panties and a t-shirt she'd have to wear tomorrow. Her hair was still damp, put she got in bed, anyway.
The bedclothes felt a little rough, but at least they were clean. Adrena laid on her stomach and hugged her pillow. It felt comforting. She tried to picture someone in its place, and the image her mind conjured up was of Electronique. The older woman liked her, she was sure of it. She wanted someone to watch her back, someone she could trust. It was lonely being a villain, as Adrena had already learned. She believed Electronique wanted someone she could be close to, and it wasn't going to be one of her brainwashed minions.
Adrena imagined a return to the lair where the striking villainess welcomed her with open arms. She knew it was probably a fantasy, but comfortable in the bed it wasn't difficult to persuade her tired mind that it might happen. She was tired of being alone, tired of making the wrong calls and losing. Electonique was strong and confident, and she could do worse for a partner. Electronique could teach her how to be a villain and was powerful enough to protect her from her enemies. Adrena nuzzled the pillow, imagining it was Electronique's hair. She drifted off to sleep thinking of her.
Legionnaire opened up the envelope "And the Fannie for Best Alternate Pairing is...Ron and Monique from That's So Ron by Neotyson.
Neotyson got up proudly from his seat and went to the stage to accept his award. He got up on stage and presented his award speech on a sheet of paper.
"Honestly, I am shocked that this story got nominated for not just one but four categories! I want to give special thanks to Sharper the writer for introducing me to the Kp fannies awards as well to the fans who have favorite, follow, and reviewed the story making it fortunate enough to achieve this award. Where the inspiration to write the pairing came from was not only from writing Kp stories where Ron is the main character but the fact that I always wonder what if Ron and Monique had hooked up in the series. While the pairing was a bit of challenge to write, I was able to come up with a short story of the two and reviewed positive feedback from the fans. Thank you all again for voting and supporting my content."
Once Neotyson got back to his seat with his Golden Rufus, Sharper then announced another commercial break. "Congrats to our two newest winners in both RufusPrime54 and Neotyson! We're going to another message from our sponsor, Villains Diegest but when we come back, we'll have the winners for both Best Kigo and Best Kim/Ron stories, so don't touch that dial. And speaking of radio dial, we'll play another little tune during this commercial break.
The next song on the Fannies CD was "Mississippi Girl" from Faith Hill as the lights dimmed.
Outside the Rockwaller mansion, however, trouble was lurking. Enemy agents were camouflaged against the access road.
"Sir, we are ready to move into position!" an undercover agent said. His uniform was purple with a white breastplate with the Chi symbol on it with the number eight next to it. It was obviously the uniform of the Worldwide Evil Empire, or WEE.
