JokersSpecter: Okay, now apparently my last version was a "list" and not a story. So they took it down....

Now I'm re-writing it in more of a "story" format than last time. So...once again...here's "2004 Golden Sun Awards"! (Version 2.....blah...)

Oh yeah, once again, next to the winner's name will be GS 1, GS 2, or GS 1&2 in parenthesis.

(And for those FanFiction.net people who took my story down....you make me mad.... )

[Part One - The Introduction]

The lights dimmed. Silence overcame the audience seated. The only noises that could be heard were the sounds of two babies crying in their seats. One was a real baby, the other was Garet.

Suddenly, the spotlight turned on, and shone on center stage, where there was nothing to be seen. The curtains moved slightly, and then parted, and out stepped....a stage hand?

"Sorry folks, we're having technical difficulties...it appears that Isaac isn't here yet," he announced to the audience, who were waiting for any news whatsoever as to why the host was running late.

"How is it a technical problem?" somebody, probably Kraden, shouted from the mass of people seated.

"Well, actually...he just slept in...his alarm clock didn't go off....but uh...yeah...he's coming..." the stage hand replied, then walked backstage again.

Despite the anger that arose in the people, who desperately wanted their awards, everyone stayed seated and calm until the moment that Isaac ran out from behind the curtains, looking exhausted.

"Sorry folks, I uh, had to run all the way here. I missed my ride this morning..." Isaac announced, then he glared at Garet, who just shrugged. Garet was supposed to pick Isaac up and bring him to the show.

"Anyway, now that I'm here, and everyone seems to be eager to start, I think...we'll start!"

There was much applause. All of it from Garet. Everyone else was too impatient to waste time with applause.

"Okay, first off, we have an intro video that I spent hours putting together....most of those hours were spent trying to get it filmed...."

The spotlight turned off, and a big screen lowered behind Isaac. When it reached it's full length, Isaac pulled out a remote control from his pocket, and pushed a button on it. The screen lit up with an image of a tree. Then the camera...or rather the person holding the camera, climbed up the tree and aimed the camera towards a house near the tree. The window that the camera was centered on appeared to be Garet's window. However, the window isn't the interesting thing that was being shown, it was the fact that Garet was spinning in circles wearing what looked like a ballet costume, singing a song that required Garet's voice to be really high pitched.

With a cracking sound, the branch that the camera man was sitting on broke, and then the camera shut off. The lights turned on in the auditorium and every single head turned towards Garet's seat. Garet wasn't there. He was hiding in the bathroom.

"Okay, now back to business. I'd first like to remind you all that I DO NOT make these up as I go..... Yes...I do NOT make them up...as I go... And now, let us start with the rewards!" Isaac said.

[Part Two - Rewards for Everyone! (Except those who didn't win....AKA losers...)]

"Okay, now the first categories we show are going to be one's that reward certain people, not certain events, places, etc. Up first, we have the reward for the 'BEST ENTRANCE'! And the winner is......Alex (GS 1&2)! For his ability to warp in! ...I sure could have used that ability to get here this morning..... The runner up, who gets no prize whatsoever, only his name mentioned, is that Ape thing from the forest, who jumped flawlessly out of those tree stumps! Astounding! Although, it's not quite as good as being able to break apart into particles and reappear right in front of people, as Alex did," Isaac announced. "So Alex, c'mon up and get your trophy!"

The audience went into a frenzy of appluase as a blue haired figure stood up, and walked towards the stage. The figure paused suddenly, then ran back to his seat. Still standing, the figure started to glow, then suddenly he disappeared. Up on stage, Isaac was one confused little host.

"Where'd he go?" Isaac said, scratching his head. Out of no where, Alex appeared in front of up in his cool teleporting manner. This scared Isaac out of his pants and onto the ground. (Not literally out of his pants, mind you.)

"Don't do that!" yelled a wide-eyed Isaac. He glared at Alex, then stood up and brushed himself off.

Alex just smirked. "My reward?" he questioned, holding his hand out.

Isaac growled at him, then walked behind the curtains and pulled out a cart that contained a tray full of trophies. All of them were in the shape of a lighthouse.

"Here," muttered Isaac, handing Alex one of them off the tray. Alex grabbed it, then walked slowly off stage, making sure everyone saw his trophy that he was waving above his head.

"Okay," said Isaac, glaring once again at Alex as he walked off stage, "Next we have the category 'MOST DRAMATIC DEATH'. The winner of this is...that soldier guy (GS 1) who disappeared into nothing after telling a very interesting story of Saturos and Menardi attacking him. The runner up is Karst and Agatio (GS 2) who also disappeared into nothing, but without an interesting story...they basically talked about how cold they were.. Alright soldier guy, let's give you your trophy!"

One of the soldiers in the back row stood up, and walked up to the stage. He smiled and waved to the audience, who was applauding him. When he got onto the stage, he shook Isaac's hand and gracefully accepted his trophy, then returned to his seat.

"The next category," said Isaac as the applause died down, "Is titled 'BEST AT BEING DEAD AND ALIVE', and I think we all know who this goes to! No, I'm not talking about Garet's brain, I'm talking about the three winners, Kyle (Isaac's Dad - GS 1&2) and Jenna's/Felix's Parents (do they have names? - GS 1&2)! They won because of their skills at appearing hidden throughout the entire first game of Golden Sun and the majority of Golden Sun 2! The runner up, Felix, also appeared dead for quite awhile, but eventually showed up in the first game... Alright dad...er...Kyle, I suppose you're going to be accepting the reward?"

Kyle jumped out of his seat and ran up to the stage with a huge smile on his face. When he reached his son, he picked him up and hugged Isaac. When Isaac's feet touched the floor, Isaac motioned for the audience to quiet down. After the noise calmed to a considerable level, Isaac asked his dad a question.

"Okay dad, I mean..Kyle..., we're all dying to know. How did you guys do it? How were you able to make everyone in Vale think you were dead?" Isaac asked.

Kyle's smile broadened. "Well, it wasn't easy, I'll tell you that. We had to stay off camera the entire time! It was intense! I didn't know if we could do it much longer. Once I was even tempted to streak past the camera! It was probably the hardest thing I've ever done...pretending to be dead."

Isaac had one more question to ask. "Tell me, where did they put you during the time you were 'dead'?"

"Well, they had these trailers, see. We were supposed to show up every morning during the filming process and stay in the trailers, getting free food and playing video games. It was really hard..."

"I see. I think a man like you deserves TWO trophies, just for being put through such an intense and agonizing process. Please...have another..." said Isaac, holding out two trophies. This brought a tear to Kyle's eyes.

"Thank you son...oh yeah, don't be late for dinner. Your mother's making spaghetti," Kyle said, then walked off stage.

"For the next category, we have the reward for the 'BIGGEST HEAD'! The winner is Tret (GS 1), for his giant tree head! The runner up is Laurel (GS 1), for having another big tree head! Since Tret wasn't able to make it today, due to the fact that he's literally planted in the ground, we are going to send his trophy to him....when we feel like it," said Isaac, throwing the trophy backstage.

"That brings us to the next reward...the 'MOST LOOK-A-LIKE MAIN CHARACTERS'! Now, some confusion can arise with this reward. Although Inn keepers and Shop keepers may look alike, they are not main characters. We're talking about characters that are in your party or the enemy part. So, with that out of the way, we are ready to announce the winners. The winners are....Ivan and Sheba (GS 1&2) for both being small, the same age, having blonde hair, and being Wind Adepts! The runner up pair are Alex and Piers/Picard (Alex - GS 1&2 | Piers/Picard - GS 2) for both being tall, having blue hair, and being Mercury Adepts!" said Isaac. "Okay Ivan and Sheba, come up here on stage!"

Ivan and Sheba stood up from the front row, and jumped up onto the stage. They shook hands with Isaac and turned to wave at the applauding audience.

"Well you two, you guys would make the perfect couple! Haha, well, anyway, here are you trophies! If you get married, you two can put them on the mantle next to eachother, and tell your kids about how you got them. Oh I crack myself up, haha," said Isaac, unaware that Sheba was about to summon up a whirlwind, while Ivan tried to restrain her.

"Now go sit down you two love birds!" Isaac laughed.

Ivan glared at Isaac, shrugged, let go of Sheba, then walked back to his seat. Sheba continued summoning her whirlwind. The end result was not pretty...they had to call an intermission.
