to go back to *+imagination+*

Notes: I started this at 8:00am in the morning out of sheer and drastic boredom, so if it doesn’t make sense and happens to be incredibly and unbearably lame, then excuse me - gomen nasai! ^_^” Haha…oh god I am sooo bored! >_< Why do I always have to wake up so early? ARRGGHH!!!! >_< Anyway, I better get started … Well, in my mind, the setting of the SD awards would be alike to the Oscars or Emmy’s (haha..delusional me when I’m half asleep ^_^”)…all the red carpets and stuff..!? You people should know the score...hehe...you know - all the formal wear and everything..!? Tuxedos, in this case...LOL.. haha..so you picture it yourself - let your *imagination* run wild! ^.^ I don't exactly want to go through all the awards I've thought up and everything, or explain exactly what they are...so...why don't you guys read it and see for yourself?  ^_^ By the way, who the awards go to is all judged by me, I don't mean to offend anyone by anything...and...if you disagree with my opinions, too bad ^_~ LOL... There are some characters that I haven't really put in many (or any) lines for...partly because I don't exactly know the personalities of all characters in SD like the back of my hand..haha..^_^ and I don't want to portray any of the SD boys wrongly...sorry 'bout that!  And if any characters are a little OOC...sorry 'bout that too..!! Gomen gomen...^_^"

*At the entrance to the SD awards* Sakuragi: *jumping up and down and shouting excitedly* Whoa! Look inside … sugoi yo! *widens eyes* Kami-sama! I’ve never seen anything like it! Wahh!!!! Kogure: *sweatdrops* Heh…err…Sakuragi…this is supposed to be a formal event… oh - and take care of your back! Rukawa: *yawns* Do’aho Sakuragi: *kicks Rukawa* Teme kitsune!!!! Akagi: *punching them both on the head* Will you two behave? *embarrassed and red-faced* Don’t shame Shohoku on such a formal occasion!! Kogure: *looking around* Akagi … hehe…*laughs nervously* Mitsui: *trailing along at the back* Oi, Kogure … why are we here again? *appears to not care but is actually pretty nervous* Kogure: *laughs* Forgotten already? Miyagi: We’re here to receive awards … *thinks for a while*…Though I have no idea what awards they are …(??) *seems confused* Kogure: Well, yeah...Lanie told me that everyone from Shohoku gets at least one award … let’s just wait and see, ne? *smiles and adjusts glasses* Mitsui: *nods* Whatever… *unusually quiet - is he feeling self conscious?* Miyagi: *looking around hastily* Demo … where’s Aya-chan? Sakuragi: *stops growling and glaring at Rukawa* Yeah, where's Haruko-san? Akagi: *sighs and rolls eyes* Don’t you people know anything?  They’re presenting the awards with Lanie! Sakuragi: *grinning and looking at everyone’s formal wear* Ano…does that mean that Haruko-san will be dressing formally as well? *stares upwards and starts to blush* Miyagi: *next to Sakuragi* Aya-chan…*staring upwards and blushing as well* Rukawa: *sighs loudly* Baka … Sakuragi and Miyagi: *anger veins appearing on their foreheads* TEME!!!!! Akagi: *even bigger anger vein* STOP IT!!!! Kogure: *to Mitsui* Mitsui-kun, what’s wrong? Mitsui: *looking downwards* Betsuni… Kogure: *patting Mitsui on the back* You gotta have confidence in yourself, you know … Mitsui: *looks up at Kogure* Un…thanks, Kogure… Kogure: *smiles* Ganbatte yo! Mitsui: *smiles his first smile of the evening* Hai!! Akagi: Kuso…*growls at Miyagi, Sakuragi, and Rukawa* Rukawa: zzzz… Sakuragi: *scowls* Stupid kitsune... Miyagi: *clears throat* Akagi-sempai..err…maybe we should go in now… Kogure: Yeah...Heh…Rukawa is falling asleep … Mitsui: Oi, Rukawa! *doesn't dare to wake him up* Sakuragi: Oi! *kicks Rukawa again* Rukawa: *blinks* .... *glares at Sakuragi* Kogure: *pulls Sakuragi away before Rukawa can do anything* Err...come on, let's go inside... Akagi: Grrr.... *clenches fists* Rukawa: ...Un... *walks ahead* Miyagi: *earring flashes* Yosh! Let's go! Mitsui: *inhales deeply* Here goes... Sakuragi: *not moving, looking in the other direction,* Matte yo!! Akagi: *irritated* Nan da? NOW what? Everyone turns to look in the other direction. Kogure: *slightly alarmed* It's Kainan... Rukawa: Eh? *blinks* ... Akagi: *confused now* Kainan? I didn't know they were coming...?! Kogure: *curious* Me neither...*turns to Miyagi and Mitsui* Did Lanie tell any of you guys that they were gonna be here? Miyagi: *doesn't answer, cheeks swell up with contained laughter* Just look at them... Mitsui: *same reaction as Miyagi* ...in...tuxedos!!! Sakuragi: *pointing at the Kainan group with widened eyes* HEN NA YO!! *bursts into laughter* Mitsui and Miyagi: *unable to hold their laughter anymore* Sakuragi, Mitsui, and Miyagi: WAHAHAHAHA!!!! All (except half-asleep Rukawa): *sweatdrop* Kiyota: *anger vein pulses on his forehead* Teme!! *points at Sakuragi fiercely* Shut up, red monkey!!! Sakuragi: *stops laughing* Nan da to?  *jumps up and down angrily* Why you...you wild monkey!!! Kogure: *panics* Sakuragi! Be careful of your back! Kiyota and Sakuragi begin exchanging the usual curses. Mitsui: *nudging Miyagi* Who do you think is more of a shame - the wild monkey or the red monkey? *laughs under his breath* Miyagi: *mock-seriously* You can never be sure...how can we be certain what they're both capable of? Miyagi and Mitsui burst into laughter again and continue watching the argument in amusement. Kogure: *sweatdrops in embarrassment* Err...hehe...kids these days... Jin: *chuckles quietly* Yup, hehe... Akagi and Maki: *trembling in anger* ... Akagi: *punches Sakuragi on the head and pulls him away* Bakayarou! Have you no shame? Sakuragi: *wincing* Itai yo! *touches the lump on his head* Kuso... Maki: *punches Kiyota on the head and pulls him away* Behave, Kiyota! Don't forget where we are! Kiyota: *scowling* Stupid red monkey...*glares at Sakuragi* Rukawa: *rolls eyes* Yare yare... *sighs* Sakuragi and Kiyota: NANI? TEME RUKAWA!! Rukawa: Do'aho (X2) Sakuragi and Kiyota: Grr...*eyes of slits* Kogure: *nervous* Guys.. Jin: *looking around him* Break it up, okay? We have a whole night ahead of us...*smiles* Mitsui: I can't imagine what might happen... Miyagi: ...So many idiots put together for one whole night... Kiyota: Idiots? What are you trying to say, huh? *moves towards Mitsui and Miyagi but is held back by Maki* Sakuragi: *ignoring Kiyota* Are you saying that the Tensai is an idiot? Micchy? Ryocchin? Rukawa: *under his breath* Bakame, what do you think? Sakuragi: *screeches* TEME KITSUNE!! Akagi: *fire in his eyes* THAT'S ENOUGH!!! *turns to Maki* Maki, I apologize for this insolence. Maki: *smiles slightly* It's okay.  I apologize too.  *glances at Kiyota firmly* Gomen nasai, Akagi. Kiyota: *scowls* Grr...stupid red monkey...and stupid Rukawa...I'll beat you soon enough... Rukawa: ... *sighs and turns away* Maki: *clenches fists* Kiyota! Kiyota: *looks down* Ano...sumimasen... Maki: *turns to Akagi* We'd better go inside first before the younger ones lose control.  *eyes Kiyota and Sakuragi quickly* See you all inside later. Jin: *smiling politely* Ja ne.  And good luck. Akagi: *bows slightly* Domo. Ja ne.
