[Scene: Village, day.]

[Meteors are raining down on the village, sending the villagers scrambling in panic. Team Sonic is watching this.]

Amy: Meteors are shooting stars. We shouldn't be running. We should be making wishes! I wish for a pony!

Sonic: And I wish you'd take cover.

[Sonic grabs Amy's arm and runs for cover, followed by Tails, Knuckles, Y/n and Sticks. A meteor hits where they just left. They are soon under the shelter of a building.]

Amy: How come your wish came true?

[Sonic just smirks.]

Sticks: Should I use my meteor defense system?

Tails: You have a meteor defense system?

Sticks: I have defense systems for all sorts of junk. [Taps some nearby levers] Wildfires, floods, Y/n turning invisible, people trying to read my thoughts.

Y/n: Wait, what?

Sonic: Yeah, start with the meteor one.

[Sticks takes aim at an incoming meteor, and pulls a lever. A series of wooden paddles pop up and start swatting the meteors away.]

Sticks: The "people trying to read my thoughts" one is exactly the same, but with tinfoil trim.

[Scene Change: Tails' house, day.]

Sticks: [Enters, carrying a letter] Someone left this at my house.

Sonic: [Dryly] Yeah, the mailman. It's a letter?

Sticks: [Sniffs it] Letter, huh? I don't know. Paper folded over itself? What's it hiding? What's it hiding?

Amy: [Grabs the letter from Sticks and opens it. She then gasps in surprise] Sticks, you've been nominated for an Awardy Award!

Tails: [Sarcastically] They really need a better name for that thing.

Knuckles: Ooh, lemme see! [grabs the letter, puts on some reading glasses, then looks closely] Oh wait, I can't read.

Sonic: [Grabs the letter] Gimme that. [Reads] "In honor of saving our village, the Mayor cordially invites you to the Awardies." Huh, conveniently, you can also bring your five closest pals.

[Everyone looks at Sticks with anticipation, including Comedy Chimp, who is there for some reason.]

Y/n: Sorry, Comedy Chimp. Maybe next time.

Comedy Chimp: [Sighs and leaves]

Sonic: [Clears his throat] "The Awardies will be at the Mayor's Mansion. You'll dine on," Ooo, "elegant food and mingle with elegant guests. After which the Awardy Award will be awarded to the winner." Which could be you!

Sticks: I can't make it.

Amy: What? Why not?

Sticks: Well, you know, I'm slammed this week! See? [Opens a scheduling book] "Tuesday: Rummage through garbage. Wednesday: Rummage through garbage. Thursday: Get tetanus shot. Friday: Rummage through garbage." I'm booked solid!

Amy: This is the honor of a lifetime!

Tails: Yeah, you might even win a shiny trophy! You love shiny things!

Sticks: I do love shiny things! But, no! No! Uh-uh! Nah!

Amy: Sticks... are you afraid to go?

Sticks: Afraid? No! Of course not! No way. Nuh-uh. Nope! A little.

Amy: Sticks, there's nothing to fear.

Sticks: Look at me. I'm a feral badger! I'll embarrass myself!

Sonic: Who cares what people think?
