“Congratulations Ladies” Ezra spoke “We are also here to present the award for Best OW RPG” he stated

“The nominees for Best OW RPG are Coyote Moon by Cat, Suzy, Laura, Tracy, Maria and Lyn, Ladies of the Magnificent Seven RPG 3 writers are Jilly, Mary, Ophelia, Jennifer, Wendy and Carrie-Anne, m7rpg by Kat, Lyn, Mady, Molly, Sarah, Ree & Suzy” Maude read from the back of the envelope before she passed it on to Ezra.

Ezra accepted the envelope from his mother and opened it quickly “And the Winner is m7rpg by Kat, Lyn, Mady, Molly, Sarah, Ree & Suzy”

Kat stumbled a bit on the red carpet as someone, she glared at Danny--who looked around innocently, propelled her toward the stage. She made it the rest of the way without incident.

Recieving a polite, if slightly formal hug from Maude; and a warm greeting from Ezra, she accepted the Ezzie. "On behalf of the girls on m7_rpg, I just want to say thanks. And to my fellow players. . . Think they've had enough yet? Nah. Me either."

*Cue Announcer * We will return after a short commercial break with the awards for best OW Adult Fic and Best OW Adult RPG*

A little snippet:

Ezra had to digested this. 'So they knew I was going to be Immortal. Wait a minute, if latent Immortality can be felt by an Immortal, and I can feel a low Buzz coming from the rest of seven. . .' Realization hit him. "The others will be Immortal."

"That's right Ezra," Melissa said. "One day, their mortal lives will come to an end, and Immortality will give them a rebirth. But they will be thrusted into the same world that we live in, fighting for their lives in what we call The Game."

Ezra traded glances with both of them and picked up the bottle in the middle of the table. "I need a drink."

Need more?

THE SEVEN CHRONICLES

http://www.geocities.com/makeup_97/

The lights go up on an empty stage, except for Ezra standing waiting for the lights to go up dressed in yet another of his stunning jackets: this time it was the blue.

“Ladies and Gentlemen,” Ezra spoke. “Please welcome to the stage my OW compatriots Buck Wilmington and JD Dunne,” he gestured to the other side of the stage as Buck and JD walked to the matching podium on the other side of the stage.

“Thanks Ezra,” Buck nodded as Ezra walked from the stage. “JD and I are here tonight to present the award for the Best OW Adult Fic,” he smiled widely.

“The nominees for best OW Adult Fic are Desire by Enid, A Simple Matter of a Gunbelt by Cat, Brief Encounter by Enid, The Gunbelt by Enid, A new Beginning by Enid, Demanding Desire/Undemanding Love by Erica” JD read from the auto-cue a light blush staining his cheeks

“None of which are available on line” Buck interjected, ribbing his younger companion

“And Gambling with the Heart by Erica” JD finished with a frown

Buck snatched the envelope from JD and extracted the card quickly. Reading aloud as he did

“And the Winner is A Simple Matter of A Gunbelt by Cat Standish”

MacGyver looks at Cat. "Adult?"

Cat nods and blushes.

He hugs her and sends her up to the stage.

"Didn't I see you two up here last year for this?" Cat asks JD sweetly.

JD blushes. Cat gives both men a hug.

"I have to say thank you to Tammy for the idea behind the story. She asked me 'Why does everyone always want to remove his gunbelt?' and I wrote this in reply. I'd like to thank all the Dears who have read this, and my fellow nominees. I bet our judges had fun reading these. Thank you all so much."

Cat goes over to Buck and gives him a kiss, then returns to her seat.

Gives Cat a great big hug! "No thank YOU! You kept it on you kept it on!" Tammy is feeling awfully hyper tonight.

“We are also here to present the award for Best OW ARPG” JD stated

“The nominees for Best Adult OW RPG are ARPG 1 by Jilly, Rina, Jessica, Carla, Kathy, and Loria, ARPG 2 by Jilly. Mary, Cat, and Kerry, ARPG 6 by Jilly, Mary, Renee, Yolanda, Kerry, and Joanie, ARPG 9 by Jilly, Mary, Renee, Yolanda, Joanie, Carrie-Anne, and Taylor, ARPG 10 by Jilly, Mary, Renee, Carrie-Anne, and Renee, ARPG 12 by Yolanda, Renee, Carrie-Anne and Jilly, ARPG 3 by Tammy, Cin, Suzy and the ladies of Group 3, ARPG 11 by Jilly, RustyGirl, Renee, Amy, and Amanda” Buck recited as he read the names from the back of the envelope.

“My turn Buck” JD spoke firmly as he snatched the envelope from Buck “and the winner is ARPG 1 by Jilly, Rina, Jessica, Carla, Kathy, and Loria”

Turns around and spots the lurking newcomer Brigs in the back row. "Ok, which one of you is throwing the popcorn? And where the hel......umm....where the heck did you get popcorn? This is a refined event."

"Do I smell whiskey? Please share.....uh on second thought sorry I asked." She spies Max's reaction to her wanting to imbibe. He may be drop dead cute, alien/human hybrid with a large antennae like you've never seen but he's so SERIOUS all the time!

Thanks, Girl. I love this stuff and forgot my flask. AAAAAAHHHHH, good stuff. Besides nothing wrong with starting the celebrating early, is there. Taking a last sip, Sihn hands it back.

This doesn't mean I have to put the strawberry cream filled chocolate Ezras away does it? Maria frowned

Certainly NOT...as long as they are anatomically correct. Are there any cheescake filled ones? Oh YUMMY! Tammy stated

OF COURSE!! Richie can you be a doll and get Tammy some? Maria laughed

Jilly hugged Nate as she walked to the podium to get the Ezzie.

"Thank you everyone so much. As DM of ARPG 1, I'm happy to accept this award on behalf of the group. I know somewhere out there is Carla, another member of the group. If it wasn't for all the writers in the group, our story never would have been told!" Jilly waved to the crowd and went down to her seat again.

Man alive... purple, red, blue or any color... that man's a dream!

Passes the flask on to LadyViper...man I'm gonna have a headache. Sihn sighed

LadyViper looks at NotTasha.... and leans over "care to share that whiskey"

**looks around.. for her gods. humm wonder where they sparkled off too. **

Then SEND congrats to Carla and Gang ARPG 1......!!! WOOHOO!!!

**OOOPS carla is tied up at the moment..*** UM... Luke Duke.. um has her... hog tied.. but I think she likes it.. ;-)

Muffled screams are heard in background... Oh well she knows she won. ....

*Cue Announcer * Please welcome to the stage two of the ATF’s Finest, Agents Chris Larabee and Ezra Standish *

“Good Evening Ladies and gentlemen” Chris spoke into microphone as they arrived at the podium

“First of all we would like to acknowledge the creator of our ATF Universe – Maria Mogavero. Without her spark of creativity and the creative tendencies of the writers within the Magnificent 7 fandom, these categories would not be possible,.” Ezra explained “Agent Larabee and I are here tonight to present two awards. The first of which is for the Best ATF Genfic” he stated

“The nominees for best ATF Gen Fic are” Chris began “Team Retreat by Heather, And then there was 6 by Suzy, Anniversaries by Cat Standish, If Tomorrow Never Comes By Suzy, Bleak Mourning by Suzy, I will Always be There by Enid, Revenge by Kelly, Quest for Survival by Enid, 72 hours by Enid, Ezra’s Nightmare by Enid, Vengeance is Mine by Enid, Second Guessing by Heather Flaherty, Let Not Thy Favor and Protection Fail Me by Cat Standish, Moonlight and Solitude by Carla, Sweat by Jilly Harris, The Trial by Cecilia & Emily, Kidnapped by Cecilia, Rock My World by Cecilia, A Life Threatened by Bern, Loyalties by Bern, Betrayal by Bern, Ulterior Motives by Bern, Misguided by the Ladysmiths, Sign of Gemini by the Ladysmiths, Placing Blame by the Ladysmiths, The Guest by the JeanGenie”

“There is certainly a great deal of outstanding talent amassed in that list” Ezra stated as Chris handed him the envelope

Accepting the envelope from Chris, Ezra slipped the card from the envelope and read the words revealed.

“And the winners are Team Retreat by Heather and The Guest by JeanGenie”

CONGRATS GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well...congrats to all of ya that have won so far!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS...CLAP...CLAP...CLAP Kelly claps becoming mildly tipsy

< insert Winner’s speeches>

“Unfortunately” Chris stated “There were no nominees for best ATF RPG.”

He and Ezra waved to the audience as they walked from the stage.

LadyViper pulls ..out a few extra flasks...passes them around. then smiles at the Sov... and Ares who just popped back from retrieving Carlas award. He hands it to her.. just as she take her seat on Lukes lap. "now this is sipping whiskey"

Extra Flasks!!!! Alright:) Thank you LadyViper! Debby congratulated

*Cue Announcer *Please Welcome to the stage Agent Buck Wilmington and owner of the ATF’s favorite watering hole, The Saloon, Ms Inez Recillios *

“Good Evening, Senor Buck,” Inez smiled as she arrived at the podium. “Ladies and gentlemen.” She nodded at the crowd.

“Good Evenin Darlin,” Buck smiled warmly at her “Quite fitting that we should be the ones to present these awards.”

“Why is that Mr. Wilmington?” she smiled sweetly at him.

“Well, we are both intelligent, warm blooded adults,” he grinned back.

“Its such a shame that I am forced into a battle of wits with an unarmed man.” Inez shook her head with a wry grin “The nominees for best ATF Adult fic are Lap Dance by Enid, Wildest Dreams by Enid, A Dream to Live By by Suzy, New Years Eve by Enid, Conference by Josey and Blinding Love by Erica”

Inez handed the envelope to Buck who ripped it open and slipped the card from the confines of the envelope.

“and the winner is” he read “A Dream To Live By by Suzy”

WOO HOO! Congrats Suzy!!!!!!!!!! Renee cheered

Congratulations, Suzy!!!!! Josey yelled

Congratulations Suzy Cat called

Suzy blushed deeply as she realized that her name had just been read out. Standing she accepted a kiss from Jack before she made her way to the stage, accepting a hug from Inez and a kiss from Buck before she stood at the podium twirling her Ezzie nervously in her hands. “Gee I don’t know what to say” she smiled “I’d like to thank the readers and everyone who evaluated this category, but most of all I would like to thank Laura who dared me to write this piece. Thanks Laura” She waved her Ezzie in the air before she turned and kissed Buck just once more then moved back to her seat.

Pass that this way please!! I jumped from part ten to 20 as well.. Still trying to keep the inbox cleaned out enough to get the rest!!:) Debby encouraged

Nothing wrong at all with celebrating early. I think all of us are going to be feeling pretty good at the after party...... Tracy takes another sip and passes it on down the line.

“Congratulations Suzy” Inez spoke warmly “The second award we are here to present is for the Best ATF Adult RPG”

“The nominees for best ATF Adult RPG are The Edge: Denver Office written by Jilly, Kat, Loria, Lyn, Suzy, Joby and Amy and The Edge:Austin Office written by Kat, Lyn, Sondra, Ree, Suzy, Loria” Buck stated. “and Guns & Angels written by Suzy,Kat, Laura, Lyn, Bern and Star

“And the Winner is The Edge:Denver Office written by Jilly, Kat, Loria, Lyn, Suzy, Joby and Amy” Inez read out

Congratulations ladies. (And as a committee judge...I recommend you read them all ) Cat recommended

Lyn high fives her fellow RPG mates......

Jilly once again hugged Nate as he whispered something in her ear. Jilly's face broke out into a large grin at what he said and she nodded. She lifted her white skirt so she wouldn't trip up the stairs. She ran to where Suzy was standing and hugged her tight before walking to the podium.

"As the DM that is on the Brigs list, I'd like to thank everyone who's read out story. To Loria, Kat, Suzy, Amy, Joby, and lyn, one couldn't have better pards to write with."

Jilly walked back to her seat.

*Cue Announcer *After the break the presentation of the awards for best AU Genfic and AU adult RPG *

Are you enjoying the festivities? Do you have just one person on your mind that you'd love to eliminate from the Seven's arm? The one person whose mere presence on screen turns your stomach? Is that woman Mary Travis? Do you wonder how she ever became a mother? Are you curious about how she can't seem to remember her husbands name? What about how she looks at our men? This woman has to be stopped, and stooped now! Join the MTHU (Mary Travis Haters Unite)!

http://hometown.aol.com/songmyth/MainPage

My email has gone crazy...thought maybe it was the flask effecting my brain. The awards did a big jump...glad to see it wasn't just me...

Congrats to all the winners...Ya'll worked very hard...BRAVO!!! Now let me take another sip...YOOWWW!!! Greylyn murmured to her neighbour

*Please welcome to the stage Search and Rescue Officer Chris Larabee and the bass player with the Magnificent Seven Band Buck Wilmington *

“We’re here tonight to present the award for the Best Alternate Universe Genfic,” Chris spoke.

“That’s right, Chris.” Buck nodded. “Some fine universes are out there that these talented authors are dabbling in.”

“That’s right Buck,” Chris agreed with him “The nominees for Best AU Genfic are Club Four Corners Presents by Cat Standish, Coming Together by Cat Standish, Larabee’s Unit: Search and Rescue by Kris, Hauntings by Maria Villa (Highlander AU), A Werewolf Investigation (SPIT7/AU), by Bernadette”

Chris passed the envelope on to his co presenter and waited patiently for him to open and announce the award.

“It would appear we have a tie,” he smiled. “WooHoo” he called as he read “The winners are Club Four Corners Presents by Cat Standish and Hauntings by Maria Villa Standish”

AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MARIA YOU WON....AGAIN!!!

COOL CAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Renee called

Cat smiles and stands. MacGyver gives her another hug. But instead of approaching the stage, Cat walks over to the band. She hugs each of them and takes JD's drumsticks, doing a drumroll before handing them back. Ezra gives her a kiss, then she walks onto the stage with a smile as the band plays "Seventh Heaven softly"

"Thank you all so much. Thanks for the encouragement and thank you for reading. I am so glad that you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it."

Cat smiles broadly as she returns to her seat.

Maria almost gags on the chocolate Ezra and Richie clamps her on the back. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and walks up to the stage. Taking the award from Chris she turns to the mike.

"I would like to thank everyone for this award, especially the Seven for messing around with their minds. :) I also want to thank the readers and to those who have given me encouragement. You guys are the best!! I truly enjoy writing and promise to bring more stories in the future."

She steps down from the stage only to be grabbed by the waist by Richie who immediately gives her a passionate kiss.

LadyViper pulls ..out a few extra flasks...passes them around. then smiles at the Sov... and Ares who just popped back from retrieving Carlas award. He hands it to her.. just as she take her seat on Lukes lap. "now this is sipping whiskey"

Oh man send that flask my way this is so exciting. Kelly bubbled

Yes fanks LadyViper! Tracy slurred.. I am having a really good time. WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!! Congrats everyone!!

Oooh... then again I better not. I've worked through five cups of coffee... unless that's milk in that flask. :) Maria pondered accepting the flask

Dawny leans over and whispers to Tammy, "Here, give Max some Moose Milk. Vic and I brought it from Canada."

Vic smiles, "It has an unusual taste but it is popular in Manitoba."

Dawny leans back in her seat as Max samples the Moose Milk.

Vic whispers in her ear, "Do you think we should tell them that Moose Milk is a drink that contains dark rum?" "Nah", Dawny whispers back, "Let them think we really milk moose in Canada."

Tammy looks at Max gulping down the Moose Milk. She overhears Dawny and almost gags. "Eww...rum. I'd rather drink Moose Milk." Max turns to her and asks "Is it possible to get milk from a moose? " Tammy laughs so hard that her belly hurts. "For your sake I hope not. How can I get you drunk and take advantage of you on Moose Milk?"

"Ahh...Tammy you don't have to get me drunk to..." Tammy claps her hand over his mouth. "Don't say it because if you do we are leaving right now!"

Turns her head and whispers to Dawny. "Thank you sooooooo much for the Moose Milk. It does have a kick doesn't it?

“We are also here to present the award for Best Alternate Universe Adult RPG” Buck read from the Auto cue

“The nominees for the best AU Adult RPG are M7 Rocks by Cat, Suzy, Lyn, Kat, Nee, Jilly, Fantasy RPG 1 by Jilly, Mary, Renee, Joanie, Yolanda, Deborah, and Sandy, Fantasy RPG 3 by Jilly, Renee, Carrie-Anne and Lindsay, Fantasy RPG 4: by Jilly, Renee and Carrie-Anne” Chris read the envelope

Buck accepted the envelope from Chris and opened it quickly

“and the winners are Fantasy RPG1 by Jilly Mary, Renee, Joanie, Yolanda, Deborah and Sandy and M7 Rocks by Cat Suzy, Lyn, Kat, Nee, Jilly and Joanne”

Jilly laughed as Nate gave her a look when her name was called again. She kissed him and ran up to the stage.

"From the DM of the Fantasy RPG group 1, I think you on behalf of Mary, Renee, Joanie, Sandy Deborah, and Yolanda. I also wanna give kudos to my writing mates in M7 Rocks. Love y'all!"

The Magnificent Seven band got excited again and started playing as Cat, Suzy, Kat, Jilly, Nee, JoAnn, and Lyn walked up to the stage to accept their Ezzie.

"On behalf of all of us, I'd like to thank you all for reading our story. And I'd like to congratulate the members of Fantasy ARPG1. This story is really a great deal of fun to write, and this award means that you're finding it fun to read too! Thank you so much."

The writers all go and hug their respective band members before returning to their seats.

*Cue Announcer * After the break the final two fic awards of the evening will be presented*

*Please welcome to the stage two of Four Corners finest. Nathan Jackson and Josiah Sanchez * the announcer’s voice resounded throughout the auditorium as OW Nathan and Josiah approached the podium.

“We are here this evening to present the awards for the best OW and ATF Slashfic’s” Josiah spoke as they reached the microphone.

“Slashfic’s are stories where the romantic leads are of the same gender,” Nathan explained to the crowd.

“They know that already, Nathan,” Josiah smiled “Although they might think we don’t, since we so rarely feature in these fics.”

“Okay,” Nathan nodded knowingly.

“The nominees for best OW Slash Fic are Into the Darkness by Cat Standish, Johnny Reb by Jessie Thomas, Solace By Deanna, Ties that Bind by Laura H., With Age Comes Experience by Laura H., The Trial – Epilogue by Rita, When It Happens by the Ladysmiths, A Hard Days Work by the Ladysmiths, Coming Out of the Closet by Cecilia” Josiah recited

“The envelope, Brother Jackson” Josiah spoke as he handed it to Nathan

“And the Winner is Into the Darkness by Cat Standish,” Nathan read out.

At this, MacGyver turned and looked at Cat, obviously shocked. Cat winked. She hugged him and walked onto the stage.

"You two make a cute couple," Cat said with a wink to Josiah and Nathan.

"Thank you so much for this award. I'd like to thank Katie who prodded me to write it and others who have read and enjoyed it. Also, I'd like to thank my fellow nominees. Once again, thank you!"

Cat returned to her seat.>

“Congratulations Cat” Both men spoke in unison

“The final fic Award of the evening is for Best ATF Slash Fic” Josiah Read out

“The Nominees for Best ATF Slash fic are The Tonight Series by Jessie Thomas, Better Late Than Never by Laura H, Lessons from a Seminar by Laura H, Hungry by Cecilia, Fantasy or Reality by the Ladysmiths, Perfect Opportunity by the Ladysmiths” Nathan read off the back of the envelope

“I believe we have a tie Brother Jackson,” Josiah spoke as he opened the envelope

“We do,” Nathan nodded as he leaned into the microphone “the Winners are The Tonight Series by Jesse Thomas and Better Late Than Never by Laura”

Congratulations to ya!! (And see Kappie... I told you!)

Laura sat still for a moment before she felt Methos bump her arm.

"So this is where all those slash ideas went, huh? I guess I'll just have to re-double my efforts." Laura slapped at him playfully, not knowing whether to be comforted or frightened by that thought. She paused for a quick hug from her sis before heading up on the stage.

"I don't rightly know what to say.... Words never have been my strong suit. I'm really glad ya'll liked it! It was a joy to write and I appreciate all the wonderful feedback from it. God Bless!" Laura turned and took the award from Nathan's hand before turning to walk away. She moved three steps before turning and looking at the two men, squinting carefully.

"Hmmm...." was all she said before rushing back to claim her seat between Methos and her sister, her white tux gleaming in the dark.

< insert winners speech>

*Cue Announcer * After the break the final awards of the evening. The Spirit Awards*

Check out one of the winners for Best Anthony Starke Site! Also recipient of a Fortune City Cool Site Award. Member also of not only the M7 webring, and Brigs Webring, but also the Celebrities Web Ring; All Celebrity Webring; and Beautiful Actors Webring

Jilly's Anthony Starke Site: http://www.fortunecity.com/lavendar/tomatoes/77/

Michelle made her way through the crowd that bustled around the backstage area of the awards show.

She paused several times to congratulate and hug the winners as they passed by her.

She stopped in front of a dressing room that was decorated with spade.

That had to have been Ezra's idea.

She knocked, and opened then door when she heard Ezra's voice say 'You may enter.'

"Having fun?" she asked, looking at him standing in front of a full length mirror, adjusting his dark green jacket.

"I always have fun." he said, wiggeling his eyebrows at her. "What are you doing back here, darlin'. I would have thought you would be enjoying the festivities."

"I wanted to see you."

"You can see me on the stage."

"Not from my seat I can't."

He chuckled, "Got balconey?" He gave her a sympthic smile when she nodded. "Not to worry, love, you can just stay back here and watch from the wings."

"Actually, I was thinking of going to my room and watching on my big screen."

"Why would you want to do that? You'd be alone."

"Not if you came with me."

He frowned. "As much as the thought appeals, I am the host of this event. It would not look good to have the host skip out in the middle of the show."

"Oh, come on, Ezra. Where's your sense of adventure?"

"I think if got lost somewhere in the woods you made me run through the last time we tried to escape the gutter for a day."

"Not my fault they sent Vin after us!"

"Just goes to prove that you can not try to run away with me. When I am wanted, somehow I am always found."

A knock sounded, followed by the words, "5 minuets, Mr. Standish.'

"Ah, duty calls."

"Wait. What if I make it interesting?"

"It's always interesting with you." Ezra said in a low voice near her ear.

She pulled a deck of cards out of her purse. "High card wins. If I win, we go back to my room, if you win, we stay, finish the show, and then go back to my room."

"Sounds like you win either way."

"So do you." She grinned.

"I like those odds." He said, and drew a card from the top of the deck. "Hmm, sorry darlin', looks like we're going to have to make this an after show party." He turned the card to reviel the ace of spades.

"Figures." she said.

Another knock. "Mr. Standish?"

"Coming. Look, why don't you stay back here. I will need company during all my quick changes."

"Can I dress you?"

He kissed her quick. "And udress me too."

*Please welcome to the stage Ezra Standish and Chris Larabee *

Chris and Ezra walk onto the stage, Chris in his black tuxedo, a purple cravat at his neck, Ezra resplendent in his green jacket and gold vest.

“The final awards of the evening,” Ezra stated, “are the BrigaDear Spirit awards”

“These awards are both nominated and voted on by y’all. The members of the BrigaDear Mailing List,” Chris concluded.

“So in effect these awards are decided on by all of you” Ezra supplied “The first Award is for the Brig most likely to be involved in a Super Soaker fight”

“the nominees are Maria and Maria V, Laura, Josey, Cat, Cecilia”

“You’re sure they left their weapons at the door?” Chris asked looked a little antsy

“Certainly” Ezra nodded “Although I do have rain coats at the ready just in case”

“Whew!” Chris spoke relieved “The winner is MariaV”

Congrats Maria V! Cat called

Way to go, Maria!!! Tammy cheered

WOOOOOOOOO HHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats, Pard!!!!!!!!!! Renee yelled

Maria kicks off her high heels, (they were becoming a pain) and walks up to the stage barefoot. "Thanks to everyone who voted for me! May there always be supersoaker fights!"

The Seven cringe at the thought.

Maria bounces down the steps and settles back in her seat.

“The next award is for the Brig most liable to run amok in the SBOTG,” Ezra spoke with a smile as he perused his watching Dears

Chris lifted one eyebrow sardonically “You mean there is one that is more prone to that than others?”

“Indeed there is” Ezra nodded “There’s usually one that rounds up the others to torment us.”

“Okay,” Chris asked nervously. “Who is this culprit, the Brig most liable to run amok in the SBOTG?”

“The nominees are” he spoke “Laura, Emily, Maria V, Suzy, Josey, Cat, Cecilia”

Ezra extracted an envelope from his jacket pocket and opened it. With a flourish he showed the card to Chris “ the Brig most liable to run amok in the SBOTG is Laura” he smiled

Congratulations Laura! Cat laughed at the presenters expressions

Thanks, Cat! Congrats yourself! OH, and Mac.... Don't believe a word she says! I'm harmeless!!! ::shoots a glare at Methos as he snorts:: Oh hush Laura spoke in consternation as she passed

Congratulations, Laura!!! Look out, there she goes!!! Josey added

Methos slowly raised an eyebrow. He had been on the recieving end of more than just a few of Laura's more...amusing, romps. He smiled as he watched the young woman in the white tuxedo almost bound up onto the stage this time, chuckling as the two men that stood there backed away slightly.

Laura grinned evilly and pulled out two super-soakers form her pockets. She paused as she heard the collective gasp from all around, including the paniced looks on Chris and Ezra's faces. With an evil laugh, she pulled the triggers and almost fell to the floor as the only thing to come shooting out was a small amount of confetti.

"Just keepin' ya on your toes boys. Of course, I was just being nice cuz of everyone being all dressed up. ONce this shindig is over... ya'll are fair game!" The two men gulped and seiously considered leaving the stage. Laura stopped that from happening as she linked arms with the two. She seemed much more relaxed on stage now.... (don't think it could be that whiskey she got from the back row, do ya? ;)

"Thanks ya'll. I hope you've enjoyed everything... I know I have! But, I can't take all the credit. It wouldn't be as much fun to run amok without all of you that join in. Thanks for backing me up!" She turned and laid to heavy and very serious kisses on the men beside her. "And that's for providing the inspiration for my little excursions!" Grabbing the award, she moved back to her seat and shared a look with her sister.

Those supersoakers had been full of confetti... The one tucked into the back of her pants, however....

“The next award is awarded to the BrigaDear who in the opinion of her fellow Brigs has the longest Sig Line” Chris spoke into the microphone.

“This could be a scary thing to see if we were to ask them to prove it,” Ezra smiled. “The nominees are Cat, Josey, Laura, Enid, Tammy” Ezra Read out.

“The winner of the longest Sig Line award is Cat Standish” Chris read as he pulled the card from the envelope

Whip it out, Girl!!! We want to see!!! Josey chanted

< blushes> I think this speaks for itself. (And it's about to get bigger)
