"So I've been thinking" Wilbur said as he, Tommy and I were walking around.
"And what have you been thinking?" I asked swinging our intwined hands back and forth.
"Power" I was confused at what he meant. "When we became independent I nominated myself as president, no one takes us seriously" Wilbur started. I ended up zoning out a bit, I had the tendency to do that when he spoke about that stuff. It wasn't that I didn't care or anything it was more so I just didn't have the attention span to pay attention to it.
"So what do you think?" Wilbur asked giving my hand a squeeze.
"Sorry, think about what?" I asked. Tommy groaned,
"Have you not been listening woman?" Tommy started.
"Tommy chill" Wilbur said, "we are going to hold an election, but it's only going to be us running"
"So they have no one else to vote for" Tommy added with a grin.
"So you're rigging it?" I asked.
"No, no, no. It's not rigging. We don't need to rig it if we are the only ones that can be voted for" Wilbur said. I slowly nodded,
"Got it" I said.
"So what do you think?" Wilbur asked.
"I don't quite understand why you're doing this but I will support you" I said gently bumping into his side.
"Thank you" he said and lifted our hands before kissing the back of mine and letting them fall again.
"You two are disgusting" Tommy said.
"One day you'll find love too child" I laughed.
"I AM NOT A CHILD!" He shouted.
"Ah yes, because adults shout 'I'm not a child' don't they?" I grinned.
"Leave him alone" Wilbur laughed.
"Fine" I playfully rolled my eyes. "So go over it one more time"
"So we are going to hold an election yes" Wilbur started, I nodded in reply. "We aren't going to tell anyone and close the ballots when it's just our party, myself as president and Tommy as vice President. You didn't want to be vice president right?" He asked.
"No, no I'm good. Politics aren't my thing" I said with a laugh.
"Alright" he said with a nod, "then since there's only one party who are they going to vote for?"
"You?" I said.
"Exactly, so we win, no one else can" Wilbur said.
"JESUS CHRIST BIG Q!" Tommy shouted causing Wilbur and I to turn around. "You can't just sneak up on people like that!" Wilbur smiled shaking his head as he looked at the two.
"Who's that?" I asked Wilbur quietly.
"Quackity, one of Tommys friends" Wilbur said and I nodded.
"So uh what was it you guys were just talking about?" Quackity asked and Wilbur briefly explained and told him the policies he and Tommy had come up with.
"We will abolish, what something you don't like Quackity?" Wilbur asked.
"Something I don't like? Any of it, I don't like any of it" Quackity said.
"Wait what?" Wilbur said a little surprised. "We can't abolish out polocies" Wilbur said with a laugh.
"I have an anouncment" Quakity said standing on a pile of dirt that he formed. "I will not be part of this democracy injustice that Wilbur Soot and Tommy Innit are doing. You're both a couple of losers"
"That's a bit far" I said.
"They're a threat to our democracy. You Wilbur are a threat to our democracy. A single party? Are you telling me people can only vote for you?" Quackity continued.
"We're the right and the best party" Wilbur said
"I am going to run against you Wilbur and I don't fucking care" Quakity declared.
"What do you mean?" Tommy asked surprised.
"What do you mean you're going to run against us?" Wilbur said.
"You're not even apart of L'manberg" I added.
"I don't care" Quakity stated.
"Oh shit we didn't sign the fucking document Tommy" Wilbur said turning to Tommy,  "I said if we signed it no one else could join, that's why we were going back, why didnt I bring it?"
"Wilbur Soot and Tommy Innit I am going to run against you and I don't fucking care. My party is the SWAG party, you know what SWAG stands for?" Quakity asked.
"Wait what's our party called?" Tommy asked. Jesus christ Tommy.
"The right the best party, that's what you said" Wilbur replied.
"Ah that's not as good, it doesn't hit as hard" Tommy started to freak out a bit.
"We'll change it" Wilbur said. "We need to go" Wilbur said and we started heading back for L'manberg. The two boys discussed what they should change their elective party name to as we walked.

Wilbur now seemed more stressed than the confidence he exuded earlier. When we got back the two guys went into the camarvan to plan further with the election thing.
