Andrew lets them go.

"Shit, that was close," said Joe.

"Yeah," said Zubin.

"Let's get going," said Joe.

They start driving.

"So what's the plan?" asked Joe.

"We run for president of the united states." replies zubin.

"Why would we run for president?" asked Joe.

"Because we know how to fix things," replied Zubin.

"What do you mean?" asked Joe.

"Like the economy," answered Zubin.

"And the war," added Joe.

"Exactly," said Zubin.

"Sounds good," said Joe.

"Good," said Zubin.

"So what does running for president entail exactly?" asked Joe.

"Well," began Zubin. "It involves getting lots of people to vote for you."

"What's the big deal about getting votes?" asked Joe.

"That's easy," replied Zubin. "When you run for president, your name goes up on the ballot. That means anyone who wants to vote for you has to fill out a piece of paper and put it in an envelope."

"That's easy," echoed Joe.

"What else?" asked Zubin.

"You have to campaign," replied Joe.

"Oh yeah," said Zubin. "And you also have to convince everyone you're the best person for the job."

"Sounds like fun," said Joe.

"It is," said Zubin.

"This is going to work," said Joe.

"Yep," said Zubin.

"I can't believe we're actually doing this," said Joe.

Zubin and Joe then began to run for the 2028 election. Their slogan for the campaign was "Joe and Zubin: The Two Best Men for the Job".

Zubin and Joe decide to hold their first presidential rally in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They appear on stage, as Joe begins the speech. Zubin stands next to him.

"Hello my fellow Americans," said Joe.

"Thank you Joe," said Zubin.

"My fellow Americans," continued Joe. "As you can see, I'm here with my friend, Zubin. He's one of the best men for the job, because he knows how to fix everything! We know how to fix the economy, the war, the environment... And we're going to make America great again!"

"Yay!" shouted Zubin.

"And we're going to do it by making sure every American gets a fair shake," continued Joe.

"Yay!" yelled Zubin.

"And we're going to do it by helping everyone have a good paying job," said Joe.

"Yay!" said Zubin.

"And we're going to do it by making sure everyone has access to affordable health care," said Joe.

"Yay!" said Zubin.

"And we're going to do it by keeping our country safe from terrorism," said Joe.

"Yay!" said Zubin.

"And last but not least," said Joe. "We're going to do it by making sure all Americans have a shot at happiness."

"Yay!" said Zubin.

"And that is why I am running for president," said Joe.

"Yay!" said Zubin.

"Yay!" yelled the crowd.

"Thank you," said Joe.

The crowd cheers.

"Now I want to introduce you to the man I chose to be my vice president," said Joe.

Joe pointed torwards zubin. "Zubin sedghi himself will be my vice president."

Zubin looks down.

"Hey Zubin," said Joe.

Zubin looked up.

"Do you think you could try to smile?" asked Joe.

Zubin smiled.

"Great!" said Joe. "Thanks for coming!"

Zubin and Joe leave the stage.

"That went well," said Joe.

"Yay," said Zubin.

Joe and Zubin arrive back at their house.

"How did you like that speech?" asked Joe.

"It was okay," said Zubin.

"You sound bored," said Joe.

"I'm not really into politics," explained Zubin. "But I figured it would be fun to help you."

"Well don't worry," said Joe. "You'll like campaigning even more!"

"You can count on it," said Zubin.

"Let's get started," said Joe.

Zubin and Joe begin to campaign. The two get out of bed, and head to the kitchen.

"Time to start the day," said Zubin.

Joe and Zubin grab a cup of coffee and sit at the table.

"What are you going to wear today?" asked Joe.

"Why don't you go out there and pick something out?" suggested Zubin.

"Okay," said Joe.

"Okay Zubin?" asked Zubin.

"Yeah," said Joe.

Joe walks to his closet and grabs a shirt. He puts it on and comes back to the table.
