One day until the election...
As usual, the announcement podium was built by Tubbo. Quackity an Wilbur built a white house behind the podium to accommodate the future president, and at the moment both parties could use it. Endorsements from the presidents would soon be presented, and a small group of people showed up in front of the podium, sitting on the few wooden chairs placed in scattered order. Punz and Sapnap sat in the front row, discussing the latest server events. Fundy was in one of the rows behind, his foot tapping impatiently on the ground. On the other side was Tubbo, busy recovering objects he had lost in his haste to get there.
Tommy and Wilbur were watching the group of people from the white house window. <<Big Q is taking too long>> Wilbur said, strumming his guitar strings. Tommy sighed <<He wants to be president yet can't get here on time, what a bitch>> Wilbur smiled at him <<Don't worry Tommy, I'm sure we'll win>> <<I don't know Will>> the blonde shrugged <<The debate didn't end very well, and we already know that many people hate us>>. Wilbur leaned his guitar against the wall and stood up to stretch his legs <<Yeah, but Quackity doesn't know what people want>>. Both males turned to the stairs as soon as they heard a door slam.
They ran down the steps and saw a breathless Quackity <<Here I am!>> he exclaimed between breaths. Wilbur crossed his arms with a grin <<Finally, now where is George?>>. The black-haired boy looked around bewildered <<Where...>> he whispered to himself, Tommy laughed <<Did you just fucking lose your running mate Quackity?>>.
<<Absolutely not! George is too busy... being charming and beautiful and... And hot!>>. The two brothers exchanged an amused look, then Wilbur shook his head <<And the endorsements?>> Quackity swallowed, trying to loosen the knot of his tie <<Well... George was taking care of it but...>>. Wilbur held up a hand to stop him from embarassing himself <<Sure. In that case I'd say we can get started>>.
Tommy went to sit in the stalls next to Tubbo, and Quackity took the podium, tapping the microphone a few times to make sure it worked. <<My name is Quackity, or so called "Big Q" by a traitor to society, TommyInnit. I was born in Mexico and I am running for president simply because I didn't think it was fair for Wilbur Soot to run a one-party democratic election. It's very unfair for Wilbur and all the people in L'Manburg to vote for just one party>>. The few people present applauded. Even Tommy applauded, whispering “respectful claps”.
As soon as Quackity stepped away from the microphone, Wilbur took his place <<I'm here to tell you the reason I'm running for president is because, uh... well I felt like it was unfair of me to decide myself to be a dictator. And if you vote for me I'll keep those filthy Americans->> he stopped, realizing he was going the wrong way <<Uh... I'll uphold the tapestry of our nation and... Oh for fuck's sake I knew I should have read it again before starting>> he stammered away from the microphone. Quackity covered his mouth to suppress a laugh, while the rest of those present shook their heads in disappointment. They expected more from Wilbur, and he also expected more from himself, but recent events had made him relax too much. He was so sure of winning that he had given up on his commitment.
Before Quackity could take back his place in front of the microphone, two voices from the back rows caught everyone's attention <<Wait!>> Fundy and Niki shouted in unison. Wilbur turned curiously, and saw that both his son and the girl were wearing elegant tuxedos, with the L'Manburg uniform hat on their heads. The two friends stepped onto the podium, and Quackity gave way to Fundy, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
The hybrid waited for Niki to settle down next to him too, then began to speak <<My fellow citizens, I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, and mindful of the sacrifices born by our ancestors...>> Tommy was wearing a confused expression, and he turned to Wilbur. The man replied with a shrug.
