Too Good To Be True

As everyone was getting ready for the award ceremony at the Museum of Fine Arts, so were the Bad Guys. In order for them to not be spotted out, Shark shared his disguise skills with the group. While he wore a sparkly red dress with glasses and a blonde wig (with Webs disguising herself as a flower on his head), Snake chose a fake silver suit-like skin to hide himself in along with a somewhat ridiculous top hat and monocle.

"Psh, this sounds easy," Piranha muttered, looking down at the waiter-like suit he decided to wear.

"Sounds easy, hermano," Wolf acknowledged. "But to get there, we need to bypass three levels of security. So, step one: We need to blend in."

Wolf was wearing a fancy white suit, a matching fedora, a white vest, a black undershirt, a purple silk tie, along with a fake mustache and glasses. If it weren't for the accessories on his face, someone would have mistaken him for a certain pop artist from the '80s.

"Ready, Luna?" Wolf called out.

Luna opened her bedroom door and walked out to where the other Bad Guys were.

"Oh my gosh, you look fabulous, girl!" Webs crowed, snapping a picture before getting back into position.

Luna stood there, adorned in her long, black dress and flats to go with it. Her black eyeliner ended in the shape of a cat eye, complemented with sparkly eyeshadow. Around her neck was a necklace consisting of onyx.

"Now that we're all ready, let's do this," Wolf declared.

As expected, the Museum of Fine Arts was crowded. People were spread all over the vicinity, waiting to get inside. The six began to climb the stairs that would lead them into the building, when a limo suddenly arrived. This was followed by sounds of clapping.

Luna turned around, glaring at the small being that emerged from the limo, as well as the one who was interviewing him. Everyone wanted to get a look at him, which in turn made the Bad Guys' job easier for the time being.

"Professor Marmalade," Wolf said, trying not to gag. "This year's recipient of the Golden Dolphin and the most annoying good guy on the planet."

"That's for damn sure," Luna muttered.

"Professor, in the past year, you stopped wars, fed the hungry, and saved countless pandas," Tiffany stated. "Some have described your goodness as second only to Mother Teresa!"

"Yeah right," Luna scoffed.

Professor Marmalade gave a modest smile, brushing Tiffany off. "Oh Tiffany, it's not a competition! And if it were, it would really be more of a tie. But we can all agree that there is a flower of goodness inside all of us, just waiting to blossom."

Tell that to Geoffrey Donner.

Everyone began to clap and cheer, moved by the guinea pig's speech. He continued to head into the building, with several others following him.
