(Backstage) (SCOOTER pokes his head through a door.)

SCOOTER: theprawncracker! theprawncracker! Fifteen seconds to curtain, theprawncracker!

(THEPRAWNCRACKER aka PRAWNIE straightens his Kermit ball-cap and his green bow tie.)

PRAWNIE: Great, Scooter! I'm all set!

SCOOTER: Ya sure about that?

PRAWNIE: Of course! It's not like I haven't hosted one of these things before!

SCOOTER: Okay, if you say so! (jumps back)

PRAWNIE: What are you-- (a piano falls on top of PRAWNIE) (PRAWNIE pokes his head out) (spits out piano keys) And on that note...

(Theater) (The crowds shuffling in to the dark theater take their seats. Chattering stops as the spotlights illuminate the crimson stage curtains.)

ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, frogs, bears, chickens, pigs, monsters, birds, Ernies, Berts, rats, grouches, livestock, penguins, whatevers… Mister Ryan “Prawnie” theprawncracker!

(Applause) (The curtains pull open and PRAWNIE takes center stage.)

PRAWNIE: Thank you! Thank you! Please, please! Thank you! Please! …See? Sesame Street DID teach me something!

(Laughter and applause) (Applause finally dies down)

PRAWNIE: Phew, I thought you’d never quit. …Who am I kidding? I hoped you would never quit! Any who… welcome once again to The Muppet Central Awards! This is our fifth year in the business of award shows, so we’ve pretty much got things down to a science around here—and not the Bunsen and Beaker kind of science. Although our interns do pick up a lot of injuries backstage… but don’t tell our lawyers.

What a great crowd we’ve got here tonight, am I right? We’ve got everyone here from Eduardo “The Count” in Puerto Rico, to Beauregard in some undisclosed location we should probably be glad we’re not aware of! Oh—I see Statler and Waldorf are in the audience. Can we get a spotlight on Statler and Waldorf please, Jimmy?

(Spotlight shines into the balcony finding STATLER and WALDORF)

STATLER: Oh sure, make us part of the opening monologue.

WALDORF: He must know it’s the only part we’ll be awake for!

(Both laugh)

PRAWNIE: Very funny, guys. Say… I didn’t see you two walking in with any ladies tonight. Finally realize the only thing you’re old enough for nowadays is carbon dating?

STATLER: Oh, clever, clever!

WALDORF: We didn’t see you walk in with a date either!

PRAWNIE: …Touché. I guess that’s why they call you two the best hecklers in the business…

STATLER: Heh, you’d better believe it!

WALDORF: I’d say we deserve an award!

PRAWNIE: I’d disagree—and I know a bear that’d support that disagreement. Anyway, folks! We’ve got a great show planned out for you—so stick around! (Who are we kidding? Thanks to the Muppet Labs Super Adhesive we’re all sticking around!) Please welcome, to present our first award, the furry, funny, and, of course, fabulous, Mister Fozzie Bear!

(Applause as FOZZIE BEAR fumbles onto the stage in a tuxedo)

FOZZIE: Ahh! Wocka! Wocka! Wocka! Hiya folks! It’s a pleasure to be here!

STATLER: Wish we could say the same!

(STATLER and WALDORF laugh)

FOZZIE: Guys, c’mon! I’m trying to present the “Make Us Laugh” award for funniest member!

STATLER: Disturbing.

WALDORF: At least we can take solace in the fact that the bear won’t be winning it!

(Both laugh)

FOZZIE: Oh—Ha ha. Very funny, you guys! Anyway, folks! This is one of the most competitive awards in the whole ceremony! Why? Well, you can’t vote for me, and finding someone funnier is just plain hard! Wocka! Wocka!

STATLER: Did he say hard?

WALDORF: Yeah, like his head!

(Both laugh)

FOZZIE: (heavy sigh) (pulls on bow tie nervously) This just isn’t my night!

STATLER: This just isn’t your millennium!

FOZZIE: (groans) Here are the top contenders for Funniest Member…
Beauregard
BeakerSqueedom
theprawncracker
Winslow Leach
WhiteRabbit

(fumbles to pull envelope from coat pocket) And the MC Award goes to… theprawncracker! Hey… isn’t he the host? I guess it’s true what they say! He’s the host with the most—awards that is! Ahh! Congratulations, Ryan!

(Long cane reaches out and pulls Fozzie offstage) (Applause)

ANNOUNCER: This is theprawncracker’s first award of the evening. He’s a contender in many other awards and is currently not a wildebeest.

Bo: *shuffling into the crowd, late, having come straight from the operating theatre at MetroCentral Hospital*
Beau: Exc-use us.
Bobo: Pardon me...pardon...
Bo: Are there any empty seats?
Bobo: Fozzie's onstage. I got a copy of the schedule from the security guard...we can take his seat.
Bo: *sits on a whoopie cushion*

(PRAWNIE comes back onstage) (Applause)

PRAWNIE: Well, we’re off to a good start—wouldn’t you say? (And no, I’m not just saying that because I won the first award.) Anyway… enough out of me! Now it’s my distinct confusion to introduce someone (or something) I know I’m going to regret. Ladies and gentlemen… (gulps) Animal.

(ANIMAL rushes onto the stage panting, Zoot chases after him)

ANIMAL: Ah ha ha! An-i-mal! Ah ha ha! AWARDS! AWARDS!

ZOOT: (peers up) Uhh… yeah, Animal says… uhh… He’s here at the Awards.

ANIMAL: YAH! Uh… CAFFEINE! CAFFEINE!

ZOOT: He’s here to present the “Animal on Caffeine” award… I think.

ANIMAL: Ah! PRE-SENT!

ZOOT: No, man, present, not present. Not a gift.

ANIMAL: (blinks) No pre-sent?

ZOOT: No, you do present!

ANIMAL: AH! Present! Present! Present! (hopping up and down)

ZOOT: …And the contenders are…

ANIMAL: theprawncracker
The Count
wwfpooh
D’Snowth
Ilikemuppets

ZOOT: And the winner is… Animal… where’s the envelope?

ANIMAL: Ah! Food! Ah ha ha!

ZOOT: …Animal ate it, man.

ANIMAL: (belches) (a scrap of paper flies out)

ZOOT: (examines paper) Huh. It’s Ilikemuppets!

ANNOUNCER: This is William is currently the #2 poster at the Muppet Central Forum with over 19,000 posts.

Bo: Hang on while I find the dynamite...
Bobo: Confiscated
Bo: Bomb?
Bobo: Taken.
Bo: ...the Really Big Gun?
Bobo: Security took it.
Beau: I have the paper towels.
Bo: Well...so much for using this spotlight moment to gradually eliminate the Top posters on MC...
Bobo: I have an oboe...
Bo: That should help. NOT!

PRAWNIE: (rubs earlobes) Yeesh. Thank goodness no one really did put Animal on caffeine… We don’t have it in the budget to replace every seat cushion—just the ones in Cookie Monster’s diet.

Up next, a cute little fellow—still only five years old and just as talented as… well, as me! Robin the Frog, everybody!

(Applause) (ROBIN hops out into the middle of the stage)

ROBIN: Hi, everybody! Ya know, this is my fifth year at these awards—and they still make me present this one! Sure, I’m short, and yeah, I’m sweet, but why do I have to present the “Short But Sweet” award every year? I’m a big frog now! I should be able to move on—expand my repertoire! I just don’t understand it… Anyway… here’re the competitors for the member with a low post count but a big personality—like me!
RedPiggy
Pork
Yva Minstrel
Was Once Ernie
Kermiegirl
And the winner is… RedPiggy, everybody!

ANNOUNCER: Even though RedPiggy has just over 1,000 posts, she’s really made a big impression on all of us here at MC. She’s posted numerous, awesome fan-fictions based on Dinosaurs and her “Tinseltown” series. She also has a really cool avatar.

* bows* Yay me! I was planning on having a really long speech, but I don't think Statler and Waldorf's Social Security will last that long. :smile:

Anyway, I wouldn't be "short but sweet" if I had a long speech.

Thanks, everyone!
