——

The day had finally arrived. It had been just over a month since the day which y/n joined L'Manburg (yes, I'm skipping a month, I'm lazy ik) She had gotten so much closer to everyone in L'Manburg, and her life had changed so much.

But it was all about to change even more today.

The election was a big deal for everyone, as y/n could tell from their mannerisms and expressions. Tubbo and Tommy sat outside the Camarvan. Tubbo biting his nails nervously, and Tommy staring at the ground, paper in hand.

"You guys want some help?" y/n asked, placing herself beside Tommy on the bench

"Sure, I have no idea how to write a speech," he admitted

——

Tubbo and y/n managed to help Tommy scrape together some ideas for a right-hand man speech, and once they had finished, they went to find Wilbur.

"Hey Will!" y/n called, as the three of them ran over to him. He turned around and gave a small wave. He looked flustered, and tired, like he had had no sleep at all.

"You done with Tommy speech?" he asked hastily, as if he didn't want to waste a moment.

"We wrote it together because I had no idea what to write," Tommy confessed.

"So I see you guys are friends now."

"Yep, well, after the disc and everything, it would be hard not to," y/n explained, and Wilbur gave them a small smile. However, it soon faded when he was pulled back to reality and remembered the day that was ahead of him.

Wilbur decided it would be a good idea to round everyone up before the election, so they could talk about their plans.

"Does anyone know where Fundy and Niki are?" he questioned, pacing.

"No I don't actually," y/n said, and Tommy and Tubbo nodded in agreement, "I wouldn't worry, I'm sure it will be fine."

——

They got started discussing, as they waited for a while, and Fundy and Niki were still nowhere to be seen.

Wilbur and Tommy rehearsed their lines, and discussed what they were going to say, as y/b and Tubbo listened intently, throwing in a few suggestions occasionally.

After much preparation, Wilbur was called, and it was finally time.

——

They headed over to the L'Manburg podium. Many people were already seated in the audience.

Quackity and George were already up on the podium, Quackity ready to make his speech. Wilbur and Tommy then stepped up on the stage and joined them, all shaking hands formally with each other (yes I'm pretending George was there. I want to include him in stuff, so he's there).

Tubbo and y/n took their front row seats beside each other, exchanging nervous glances, as the election began

There was still no sign of Fundy and Niki

——

Quackity began first with his presidential speech. George then backed him up with a short speech of his. y/n struggled to listen, as she was examining Tommy and Wilbur the entire time.

Her and Tommy glanced at each other, it was obvious to tell his nerves from the way he was scratching his neck, moving his feet, and was constantly looking down at the ground.

Wilbur on the other hand, it was hard to tell. He kept a straight, strong face, but y/n knew he was also nervous, from the way he stood stiffly.

But she couldn't blame them. After all, her and Tubbo were equally as nervous, and she couldn't even begin to imagine what it would be like to be in either of their situations.

Wilbur then stepped up to the microphone, and y/n put her full attention into listening to Wilbur's words.

——

"I'm running the election to solidify democracy in our great nation of L'Manburg," he began, nervously at first, but his confidence in his words grew by the second.

"If you vote for me, I'll keep all of the filthy rats-

He was cut off by boos from the crowd, and Wilbur backtracked on his words. Tommy hastily pulled him to the side, when two very familiar figures emerged.

——

"Fundy? Niki?" Wilbur asked, very confused, as they entered the podium without uttering a word.

Tubbo and y/n exchanged a questioning glance.

Fundy announced that he would be doing a speech along with Niki, and everyone stepped aside.

What's this all about?" y/n questioned Tubbo.

"I don't know, but I haven't got a good feeling about this," the boy replied, with a worried expression spreading across his face.

——

Fundy cleared his throat, and everyone turned their attention to him.

"My fellow citizens, I stand here today, humbled by the task performance," the fox boy began.

"Grateful for the trustee bestowed, and mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors," he continued, turning to look at Wilbur.

Tommy shot a curious look to Tubbo, of which he replied to with a shrug.

"I would like to thank Wilbur. For his service of our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout my raising," Wilbur head tipped slightly, as his gaze followed to Fundy.

"I may not be powerful, or have the physique of a leader. I might not have wealth, but I do have a dream," Fundy contiuned his speech, vowing to fulfill the hopes of the citizens, and also promoting him and Niki's bakery.

Once he had finished Wilbur faced him, and spoke.

"Well, Fundy, that was a... fantastic speech. Very well versed, my son," he confronted, a small smirk spreading across his face.

"Don't call me son, I'm simply your competitor now," Fundy regarded him with a serious tone.

"So you are running against me? And you really think this is a wise idea, son?" Wilbur scoffed.

"Call me son one more time."

"Well everyone, looks like we have a third party running. COCONUT2020 are now on the boards," Wilbur announced, stifling a laugh.

Fundy and Niki then stepped aside in the stage, and Wilbur whispered into Tommy's ear. He stepped up to the microphone, and with a reassuring thumbs up from Tubbo and y/n, he began to speak.

——

"Fellow citizens," he started, "I know this election has taken an unexpected turn, but with the announcement of a new party, I see even more reason, to let you know why you should vote POG2020."

Tubbo and y/n smiled at him, which was enough to let the confidence start to grow in his voice.

"Me and Wilbur, along with Tubbo and y/n, have the best intentions and views for our country. Many people have shown disrespect towards our government, time and time again, but that shall happen no more. If you vote POG, we will ensure there is a government, that will stand up for everyone's views and rights. We will listen to everyone's ideas, to ensure we make this nation, a better place,"

Tommy stepped away from the stage momentarily, followed by lots of clapping and cheering, mostly from y/n and Tubbo. He smiled widely at them, as if to thank them for the support.

——

"Now, it's time for us to announce endorsements!" Wilbur informed the audience after a few moments, once the clapping had died down. Fundy revealed that he didn't have any endorsements, so the parties concluded to let SWAG go first.

"Ahem," Quackity began, "WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE... that our endorsement hasn't got back to me yet." Quackity and George walked to the back of the stage, embarrassed, as many people ridiculed them.

Wilbur stepped up to the mic, Tommy by his side, and together, they announced their endorsements.

"Now everyone, Tommy has a video endorsement for us to play," Wilbur announced, as Tommy grabbed a remote, and pressed a button to play

——

The video started to play, and everyone gasped as a man, who y/n was informed was called Vikkstar, announced that he endorsed POG2020. y/n didn't know who this guy was, but it seemed like a pretty big deal to everyone else.

Once the video had finished, many of the audience clapped and Wilbur made another announcement, "Everyone, if you thought that was great, well guess what? WE HAVE ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT! WELCOME MR JSCHLATT!"

——

Tommy jumped, unable to contain his excitement, as Wilbur went to find the man in question, and once Wilbur was back he helped him upon to the stage.

Schlatt tapped the microphone, he looked around, bewildered and confused, like he didn't know where he was.

"Hello..." he uttered.

Wilbur and Quackity helped remind him if the situation.

"Democracy is overrated," he spouted.

"Schlatt, stick to the script," Tommy warned.

y/n had the feeling that this wouldn't go well at all.

"You want a president? I'LL BE MY OWN PRESIDENT!" the man continued.

Wilbur and Tommy had shocked looks slapped across their faces. It wasn't supposed to go like this.

"This is our endorsement from Jschlatt!" Tommy desperately shouted, in an attempt to drown out his rambling.

"Ill run myself," Schlatt continued to repeat, "SCHLATT2020!" he announced.

——

He yelled, telling everyone why they should vote for him. The election had turned to chaos so quickly, whilst the audience and participants stood by, none of them knowing what to do.

"GET HIM OFF THE STAGE!" Tommy, Quackity, George and Wilbur teamed up, desperately fumbling, trying to remove him from the podium.

"I-I-I'LL RUN MY OWN PRESIDENCY!" Schlatt stuttered.

Tommy tried announcing a debate, and a lot of other things, in an attempt to put a stop to the chaotic episode, but it was not successful, and more chaos and arguing took place.

"I think that all the contenders need to go and have a conversation in the White house!" Wilbur suggested, trying to establish some order

This was followed by a mad chase, Quackity, Wilbur and Tommy running and trying to get away from Schlatt.

"What the hell happened?" Tubbo asked y/n, trying to register the last few minutes.

"Honestly, I know about as much as you."

Everyone stood outside the door waiting to see what happened. y/n ran in one direction with Tubbo, away from the chaos, and Tommy and Wilbur in the other

——

The pair waited a few minutes, watching the sunset, and eventually Wilbur and Tommy caught up to them

"Bad news," Wilbur huffed, out of breath, "We tried to make a coalition with Quackity, but he wasn't happy with our plans, so we think he might endorse another party."

"It'll be alright I'm sure, let's just try and have a calm night," y/n suggested. The other three agreed, and they went back to the Camarvan, they sat outside, feeling the night breeze brush through their hair.

——

"So this could be the end of it all," Tommy said unhopefully.

"No, the votes haven't even been counted yet!" y/n tried to encourage him.

"I'm gonna miss it if we don't win," Wilbur admitted.

"Me too Will, we all are."

"Get some sleep, we'll be back tomorrow."

——

They all followed what Wilbur had said, and left for their houses. y/n was still staying with Tubbo, so she went to her bed in the room opposite his, and lay down. If it all went right, she decided that the first thing she would do was build herself a house. She called out goodnight to Tubbo, and tried to settle down, but no matter what she did she couldn't sleep. It was going to be a long night.

A/N: Thank you so much for reading. To clear things up, this chapter and the next chapter used to be one long chapter, but I split then up so it didn't drag out. x
