They were at the awards dinner because the stories they wrote were selected as winners. Their stories would be published.

The story ended with Missy and Steven being friends and co-authoring a story together.

Steven doesn’t like Missy’s book. He tells her that he wouldn’t read it even if you gave him ten giant candy bars. He didn’t like the sparkles on the cover.

Steven says the book signing would have been better if Missy wasn’t there because he didn’t like having to share the spotlight with someone else, especially when he didn’t like the book she wrote. There were two sets of fans in the audience and he just wanted to talk to his fans.

They would make fun of each other because they had different interests. The fans liked two different book genres, so they made fun of their differences.
