Capítulo 11: The Oscars
March 22nd, 2003
Today at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles there was huge traffic. All luxurious cars were arriving for the red carpet of Oscars. All well known stars were arriving for the most famous and prestigious award winning show.
A month ago Jameson received an invitation from the Oscars as their movie was selected in four different categories. Jameson was elated and Valentina was proud of John.
Soon a luxurious Mercedes car arrived at the Oscars and from there stepped out three people. John was dressed up in a black suit and his father Jameson in a fine fitted grey suit. Valentina refused to come with them in the beginning as she was just a nanny for John but John forced her to join them for the Oscars.
Valentina today dressed up in a very beautiful red dress which Jameson bought for her. She looked shy as this was the first time of her attending such a high end gathering. John took her hand and led her inside.
The reporters were trying to get words out of John as he was the main focal point of the family. John somehow evaded their lenses and was brought inside by the bodyguards.
"Dad, see this is how the reporters work for all the news companies." John complained to his father. Jameson just gave him an ugly smile but didn't refute him as he knew their nature to his bones.
Soon the event started with all pomp and grandeur. Among the audience, John was surprised to see Tony Stark. He came with a famous star to the Oscars.
"Well the playboy has a long way to go change himself. I hope my butterfly effect doesn't affect his transformation to Iron Man. Otherwise I am pretty sure the Supreme Mage will come after me and throw me away." John thought to himself. As he looked through the audience, he searched if he could find any famous stars from his previous life. He saw another acquaintance and his eyes gleamed.
On the other side of the row he saw Kingo, one of the eternals. Kingo probably came for one of his movies as he was the royalty of Bollywood. His heart was beating fast just by looking at him. He knew what eternals represent in this world. The celestials and their soldiers. The eternals were basically responsible for the advancement of mankind in the beginning phase till the death of all deviants. Well, till the truth came out for them.
Kingo could feel that someone was eyeing him so he moved his head to look and he found out that a kid of 12-13 years old was looking at him. He was pretty sure he never met him before but on those eyes of the kid he could feel that the kid knew him. John gave Kingo a smile and moved his head. Kingo didn't give much heed to the kid and being an eternal he had his own arrogance. He would never pay attention to the mortals.
Soon the award for best animated movie of the year came upon.
"So this year there is probably only one movie that could make top of the list." The host said with a huge smile.
"Well if you didn't take your child to watch this movie then I am sorry to say you are not qualified as a parent." The co-host added with a big laugh.
The audience had a laugh after hearing this. "Well there is no suspense in this category for sure. The best animated movie goes to 'The Lion King'. May I please welcome Mr. John to the stage."
John stood up and went to the stage with confident steps. After holding the famous Oscar award, he couldn't believe his own destiny. He went from nobody in his previous life to winning an Oscar in this world. After watching the award for few seconds he said,
"Hello everyone, almost half a year ago I gave a speech of achieving my dreams with the help of all present at that time and this time too I will say the same thing. Thank you all for helping me in achieving my dreams and hope you all will help me on this journey and I promise you that I will continue to entertain you and bring you joy and happiness. With that being said here is a glimpse of my future works. Hope you will like it." John said and immediately the lights of the whole hall went off.
And the screen at the other end of the stage lit up. And soon pictures started to roll over on the screen. It was the trailer of Toy Story and Aladdin. It was lifelike and people cheered for the upcoming movie.
"Even though the works of these movies aren't finished yet they will be in movie theaters soon. I will again thank my father, Val, the directors and all of you who have supported me and wished to continue this journey further. Thank you!" John completed his speech with that.
Jameson and Val were both proud of his works and his hard work. They knew how much work he had put to his ideas. After this, 'The lion king' won two more awards but this time only Jameson went to receive it. He even gave a speech saying that his son might become richer than him before he turns 18. All laughed at this joke.
The ceremony ended with an afterparty and John even talked a little with Tony but didn't say anything for fear of butterfly effect and kept his distance from Kingo because he felt vulnerable in his presence.
