7:00 AM - At David's house
David is still awake from last night, staring into his computer screen as well as his TV and playing multiple RPGs and/or strategy games at the same time.
David: Must�join�RPG�play�all�RPGs�now�ASSUME NEW ROLE!
David's mother (calling from down the hall): David, are you ready for school?
David: No�school�games�need...me...
David's mother walks into the room.
David's Mother: Oh, no, not this again. That's the fifteenth time this month, and there's only been 21 days!
She thwaps him upside the head, and he snaps out of it.
D's M: Now off to school.
David: But I was schooling them!

7:45 AM - Math Team
David walks into the room.
James: A little late, are we, David? Hit the hard liquor and prostitutes a bit hard again?
David: Shuddap.
Rob: Yo, look at his eyes. Think he got any sleep?
Steven: Looks more like zombifying-hypnosis. I smell a government plot a-hatchin'.

8:00 AM - In the Lobby
Walking into the building, several people see posters up, reading, "Today is the School Election for SU President. Nominations are due in by 11, a debate will be held at lunch, and voting must be done from then to 2:30, between classes. Yes, we know it's unrealistic to get this done in one day, but some people only want to waste one episode on it."
There is a sign-up sheet under it for nominations, no self-nominations, and someone must second. Mark and Alex see it.
Mark: So, who should we nominate?
Jordan: Whom, damndable gentiles!
Mark slaps Jordan, whom walks off, mumbling to himself about James trying to be clever when Wil can guarantee that 80% of people who read this won't actually be able to explain why that should be "who."
Alex: Someone who really doesn't want the job.
Mark: Oh, I know just who to nominate.
He scribbles a name on the list, and Alex seconds with a wicked grin.  They go off and enjoy a refreshing Bacardi-Colada.  Always fresh, always refreshing.

10:00 AM - In the Lobby
Right before James comes by to pick up the nomination sheet, Jake2 marched past in a Luftwaffer uniform.
James: And who the hell are you dressed up as today?
Jake2: I am the Supreme general of the Shy Guys, and I'm chancellor of the Magikoopa Army that's about to fight them.
James: You know, that makes absolutely no sense.
Jake2: It makes perfect sense.  To a madman!  Mwahahahahahaha!
James sighs and takes the sheet back to Principal Veasey.
12:00 PM - Cafeteria
Principal Veasey walks up to the microphone.
Principal Veasey: Now, will the following people come up, you've been nominated for the position of SU President. Wil, James, Rob, and� *gasp* Steven?
Steven: What? Who would dare nominate me?  WHO CALL'TH DOWN MY WRATH?
Mark and Alex laugh devilishly, their seeds of discord having been sown.
Steven: I will have your souls to cleanse my sanctum and grind your bones for the seed for birds.
Principal Veasey: Now, now, boys, let's not fight. You can turn down the nomination if you want, Steven.
Steven: I wi-, no, I'll accept it.
Everyone else: WHAT?
Steven: I will win this election, and then I can take down the system from the top!
Veasey: Was that your speech?
Steven: Ummm�sure.
Veasey: Okay, next up, Wil.
Wil: Damn, man.  I can't follow that.  It was so succinct.  So uh... just remember.  I'm the one who's not evil.
Veasey: Riiiight�. Okay, James, your turn.
James: I know you're not going to vote for me, so I won't even try.
Veasey: Well then, an honest politician, eh? Rob?
Rob: Quack.
Veasey: Very good, all. Now, write down your votes on a secret ballot and slip it into the box by the end of the day.

2:00 PM - At the Ballot Box
Alisha: I don't think I should vote.
Daisy: Why not?
Alisha: I can't in good conscious bring another vote into this over-populated world.  What kind of voter would I be to just go around voting everywhere on everything?
Daisy: Well it's the very essence of democracy...
Alisha: But I can't vote.  I mean... it's just wrong of me to take advantage of government like that.  Besides, why bother?
Daisy: Well, yea, government is stupid, I suppose�
Alisha: Our individual roles we think are necessary aren't really that important in the grand scheme of things.
Daisy: Yea, that's common, people think their vote is useless, but...
Alisha: The big picture unseen
Daisy: You mean that poster up there of Mr. Veasey? I can see it fine.
Alisha: Oh forget it, this No Doubt reference has not gone well, especially since Wil didn't realize it at first and went and took out the first half of it. I'll just vote.

2:30 PM - At the Ballot Box
James, being a candidate, can't collect the box, so Simon comes along to do it.
Simon: Hmm, yes, well, this election should be intellectually stimulating; I'm looking forward to it.  I need more HP.

The next day�

11:30 PM - In the Cafeteria
Principal Veasey steps up to the microphone.
Mr. Veasey: We've counted the votes. And I must say that I'm very proud of you voting against what I can only call the raving lunatic candidate unlike so many other classes of previous years.  The winner is�Willis!
Steven: What? Wil? That's impossible, I know I should have won.
Mr. Veasey: You lost by a vote. An even number of voters participated: Wil got half, you got half-1, and James got 1.
James: Whoo, at least I beat Rob.
Rob grumbles.
Steven: Now my anarchical demands will be fueled even more by this damned election.
Mr. V: Mr. Yazinka, please sit down. Mr. Cerbone, come up and say something.
Wil: Well, I think my first action as President it to make Baron Bear my second in command.  Lord Veasey, you referred to me as "the one who is not the raving lunatic," and let me say that I'm not.  Or possibly that I am.  All I know is that this bear saved my life, and that he's a military genius. 
Paul (whispering to David): This dude is nuts.
Wil: Now let's get drunk and play ping-pong!
Jake: That's it, I can't have this guy be my leader.
He runs up, grabs Wil, and throw him out the open window that leads into the courtyard (Caf is on the first floor).
Jake: Now I am President!
Steven: Not for long. This government is coming down!  Kratos toi demoi!  Apokteino Willion!
He attacks Jake.
Steven: Let's make Z the king.
Z: Okay with me. I'll just do a bunch of stupid stuff that won't result in any progress.
Steven: Wow, I'm already regretting that decision. No, no one is king now, anarchy shall rule.
Kate: Isn't that a contradiction?
Baron Bear: Raaar.
Jefe: Where is my damned hegemony?
Steven: �
Mr. Veasey: Fine with me, as long as I'm still principal.
