Sound of Silence in the Rain: Futurama fan fiction
Prologue:
The end of Richard Nixon's term was coming. In 3000, he was elected the president of Earth. And now in 3012, after three terms as Earthican president, people have become used to his rule over them. Most people were opposed to any change in leaders, but, there were a select group of people who, unlike most, wanted a change in leaders. These people, known as the Tri-Post party, wanted the sweet, lovable industrialist Mom, to rule over earth. The Tri-Post party and the Republicans ruled over the campaigns, leaving all other parties in the dust. Nixon gave speeches that said that a change in leaders would lead to a reign of anarchy. Mom spoke however, of getting away from anarchy under Nixon. She spoke of his Tyranny over the Earthican people, and offered Brownies to voters.
After several months of trade off Speeches from both parties, votes were cast by the people, and everyone waited eagerly for the winner to be announced.
Once all the votes were cast (except Fry's, whom had forgotten until the day of announcing.)and people watched anxiously as the numbers from each side grew. Tri-Posts and the Republicans grew at stunningly identical rates, while the democrats had all of one vote from a zombified free waterfall jr. the numbers stopped all of a sudden, and the tri-post's votes were tied with the republicans at 3,000,000,000 votes.
""stupid machine! Take my vote! "Fry, who had spent his afternoon trying to place his vote, resorted to kicking the machine until it would accept his vote. "Come on!" after one last hard kick, the machine finally accepted his vote, But in the process, changed his vote for Nixon to a vote for Mom.
"Morbo announced through the Times square Jumbotron, "and the president of this puny planet is… MOM!"
