AN: I really tried in this chapter. I really did. It's hard to make Mabel seem like a person you wouldn't want to vote for.

Mabel slowly opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling above her bed.

"Ok Mabel, another day, another random body pain," she sighed. "Here we go." She sat up, her back cracking loudly. She put her feet in her slippers, noticing that they were soaked in milk. "Ew!"

She spotted a rainbow sticky note stuck to her lamp and picked it up, reading it in her head.

Dear Mabel, I needed something to carry milk in so I used your slippers. Love, Stan.

Mabel shuddered and walked into the kitchen, her wet slippers squelching. She flipped the light switch and flinched as the light bulb burst. She groaned and went to get a new bulb, but she saw that the box was empty. She picked up the note that laid inside.

Dear Mabel, I took these to build a planetarium suit for Ria. Sorry! Ford.

Mabel grumbled and tossed the note in the trash can.

Mabel was at the store, still in her robe, standing in line and holding a box of light bulbs. Daryl, Ed, Stacey, and Shandra walked up to the line. Stacey had her arm around Shandra's shoulders.

"Woah, let's not take this line," Daryl said. "There's an old person in it."

"Yeah, she's probably gonna pay with, like, pennies and coupons," Stacey scoffed. Mabel growled angrily.

"Hey, for your information, I was gonna shoplift most of this!" She snapped at the teens.

"Security!" The cashier yelled. A group of security guards surrounded Mabel.

"Ha! Glitter bomb!" Mabel shouted. She threw a glitter bomb that read 'Expire 11/1996' on the floor. The fuse burned out and nothing happened. "Aw, really?"

She yelled out as the guards tackled her.

Mabel stepped inside the Mystery Shack, bruised and holding the box of light bulbs.

"Ugh. Rough start to a day," she sighed, walking towards the kitchen. "But it'll all be worth it when I fix that light bul-"

She entered the kitchen to see Dipper standing on a chair and screwing in a new light bulb while the twins, Bella, Fiddleford, and Ria watched.

"And... we're... done," Dipper finished with a smile, the new light bulb lighting up the room. The kids and Ria cheered.

"Is anyone seeing this?" Stan asked. "This is what a hero looks like!"

"I thought we were out of light bulbs," Mabel frowned.

"Oh, we were," Dipper agreed. "So I invented my own. It'll last for 1000 years and the light it emits makes your skin softer."

The others murmured in amazement as they rubbed their skin.

"Anyways, where were you?" Dipper asked. Mabel stared at him angrily and dropped the box of light bulbs in the trash can.

Mabel walked into the living room, sitting down and picking up the TV remote.

"Well TV, at least you appreciate me," Mabel said. "Give me the good news."
