[Goldenboko]

butthurt in 3... 2... 1...

[Formalhaut]

My first thought was surprise. But then, thinking about it, she's a worthy winner.

[The Man]

Well, that's a surprise. I haven't played FFXII so I can't say if this is actually a bad choice, but still, Terra > * :<

[Citizen Bleys]

What? Seriously?

God does not exist.

[Faris]

That was really unexpected...

[The Man]

That's an understatement. For what it's worth, not a single person who posted predictions got that one right.

[Formalhaut]

I do see how unexpected it was, but come on. She overtook Vaan as main character and made a political drama somewhat interesting!

Lightning & Snow

[Formalhaut]

Award Chocobo has unintentionally insulted all of the nominations.

[Award Chocobo]

Snow: Hey there everybody! Its your hero here, Snow! I’m also accompanied by my sister, Light!

Lightning: Its Lightning. Can we just get this over with?

Snow: Come on Sis, don’t be a party pooper! In fact, why don’t you try heading this speech? Come on, give it a try!

Lightning: No.

Snow: Take it.

Lightning: No.

Snow: Come on Lightning, take it.

Lightning: I’m about to show you how Lightning strikes if you don’t get that out of my face, Snow Villiers.

Snow: Real heroes never back down from danger!

Lightning: You’re the perfect one to give the speech, you know that?

Snow: Yeah, so?

Lightning: So give the damn speech!

Snow: We’re not gonna get anywhere if you don’t-

Lightning: Just give me the microphone...

Snow: Haha, thats the spirit! Here ya go sis!

Lightning: Hmph... arguing with you is like trying to fight a Sentinel...

Snow: Ladies and Gentlemen, Lightning Farron!

Lightning: Tonight we are here to present an award. The Best Hero award in particular. Now, I’m no hero, but-

Snow: Don’t lie to the audience! Everyone, Lightning is a Finalist in the Best Heroine category! She risked her life to save Cocoon, everyone! Lightning is a true hero! You could all learn something from her!

Lightning: I- uhh...

Snow: Look at that everyone! She’s blushing! I guess even the big, bad soldier has a vulnerable spot for flattery! Guess I sure did stagger her, am I right?

Lightning: Snow... Take this damn microphone. I need a minute.

Snow: Haha, I would too if MY face was burning that red!

Lightning: S-shut up!

Snow: Now... In case someone missed it, I’m Snow Villiers. I’m sure if I wasn’t giving this speech, I’d be the top nominee for the award, am I right? Anyways, what is a hero? I’d be willing to bet no one could give me a good answer. Well, to be honest, I don’t think I could give a good answer either. Someone who fights for good? Someone who protects the weak? Someone who fights against evil? All these things could signify a hero. Needless to say, heroes come in all shapes and forms. Sometimes they might even surprise you. I mean, Lightning is as mean as a snake, but a hero nonetheless.

Lightning: Watch it.

Snow: Kidding, kidding! As I said before, defining hero is a difficult task. I won’t try to do it, but instead, I’ll let you decide what a hero is. I can only think of a few things all heroes might have in common, and this is just a might.

Lightning: Oh no...

Snow: Real heroes never back down! Real heroes don’t need plans! They don’t ever lose a fight, they always win! The hero never dies! And most importantly, the hero always saves the day!

Lightning: Still the same old Snow...

Snow: Now, how about we read the winner of this award together sis?

Lightning: Yeah, lets finish this.

Snow: Ohh, but first we have to pick who we want to win!

Lightning: What?

Snow: Predictions, if you will! Come on, look at the list of nominees we’ve got, pick one!

Lightning: No, Snow. Lets just-

Snow: Come on, just pick! You don’t even hafta know who they are. Just pick the one that looks coolest or something!

Lightning: Ugh, you’re such a child. Fine. I pick... the one with the spiky hair.

Snow: Kinda resembles you, doesn’t he Light?

Lightning: What? Where did you get that?

Snow: I dunno, a bit of a heroes hunch.

Lightning: Hmph. Whatever. And your pick?

Snow: This guy, he definitely looks like a hero.

Lightning: Funny, his hair is a bit spiky too.

Snow: Yeah, he even has the same sword as your pick. Huh... look at the the similarities between those two.

Lightning: Yeah, I’ll give you that. They do look identical, to some extent.

Snow: Weird. Well, lets read the winner, shall we?

Lightning: Finally. So, who is it?

Snow: The Winner of the Best Hero award goes to...

[The Man]

I can't even remember who I voted for in this category :<
