The day of September 21st dragged on. Everyone else was extremely busy, rushing to prepare and rushing to fix loose ends in  the election. all while you had nothing to do, Niki was preparing with Fundy, Wilbur and Tommy were preparing with their endorsements as were Quackity and George. You were left waiting patiently for the evening so you could  make your way to the stage.

You cleaned your entire house and your armor before noon and you'd baked bread until three. You showered and dressed and you still had two hours until the election would begin.

You got there early, almost an hour early. Punz, Sapnap, and Tubbo were already in their seats. You sat next to Tubbo, giving the young man a large smile. You could see the nervousness written across Tubbo's normally smiling face. He looked like he'd hardly slept but to be fair you doubted anyone had really slept last night. Quackity, Wilbur and Tommy were on the stage chatting calmly. It was raining when you left your home so your hood was up, covering your head from the rain.

A few others appeared around the few of you, filling the seats. They started the rally at 6:00 pm sharp. They started with Quackity, who you didn't bother to listen to you weren't fond of what he stood for as a candidate for the presidential campaign.

Wilbur was next, smiling brightly at the small crowd of you. "Hello L'manberg! My great country!" He exclaimed, waving both hands at the crowd even though he looked thrilled to be there you could see the lack of sleep weighing on his shoulders. "My name is Wilbur Soot and I'm here to tell you that I am running for president. I'm here in front of you because I believe in democracy. I felt it unfair for me to place myself in this position without any input from the rest of the country. I've decided to hold this election for the people, to let them know that if they vote for me I will uphold the great tapestries of our nation." His voice rang out proudly, confident in himself as he addressed the nation he had built from nothing. 

You all cheered, clapping loudly. Wilbur seemed confident as he stood getting pelted by rain. As the cheers fell Fundy and Niki stumbled up on the stage quickly, both in suits and smiling widely. "Hello!" Fundy exclaimed as he clutched the mic stand.

Niki stood tall behind him, a bright smile on her lovely face. She waved at you from her spot excitedly. You waved back, grinning from ear to ear.

"My fellow citizens." Fundy began, clearing his throat nervously, his accent thickening. "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. I thank Wilbur," Fundy sought him out in the crowd, meeting his eyes as he continued. "for his service to our nation as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout my raising. Now I'd like to keep my words short and powerful, thus I say: I am not powerful. I am not the definition of a leader. I may not have wealth but, I do have a dream."

You glanced at Wilbur, his eyes glued to his son as he continued his speech. Tommy was confused and a little upset. He had no idea of the third party, this made that very clear, Quackity didn't either as the two of them whispered back and forth.

"I see myself fulfilling the dreams and hopes of citizens, new and old for today tomorrow and the future of our nation. While Quackity has religious ideas, and Wilbur, the leadership, I, together with Niki have a dream. God bless L'manberg." Fundy finished, bowing for the crowd, which cheered loudly as he and Niki waved and smiled. You'd made your decision on who you were voting for, at least you'd thought so. 

Wilbur walked up onto the stage to speak to Fundy. You watched as Fundy's face fell. He began to argue with Wilbur, the two talking quietly, harshly. It went back and forth until Fundy stalked off angrily.

"Five minutes and the Rally will begin!" Tommy exclaimed through the mic. He immediately stepped away and jogged back over to Wilbur where the two began to whisper over what conspired between Wilbur and his son.
