A/N: I would have had this up sooner but my internet connection went dead and I was concentrating on that rather than writing, but here comes the second part of the story.

The next day, Ned went to Mr. Mosely's classroom before first period.

"Morning, Ned." Mr. Mosely greeted him. "What can I do for you, buddy?"

"I want an application to run in the class election."

"Oh, I see. I guess Jennifer wants you to be her vice president."

"No, I'm running for class president!"

"Ned, you're really going to run?"

"I don't see why not, after all, I did run in seventh grade… albeit against my will, buuutttt…"

"No, its cool, Ned, but you need one more thing." Ned had finished filling out the application and was walking out the door.

"What do you need?"

"You're required to have a vice president running with you, so if you could consult someone to come to me and fill out an application otherwise I can't put you on the running list."

"I'll get back to you." Ned said giving Mr. Mosely a thumbs up. As soon as Ned made it to biology, he didn't make it in time for small talk but as soon as class was over and everyone head to their next class, Ned began to pitch his plan to Cookie as the two walked to art class.

"So, Cookie, did I tell you I'm running for class president?"

"No, what are you getting at?"

"Well, try and follow me here: I'm running for class president, right?"

"Right."

"And to be class president I need a vice president to run with me, right?"

"Right."

"And of course, my old pal Simon Nelson-Cook would be more than willing to be my V.P., right?"

"What?"

"Huh?"

"Couldn't you ask Moze to be your vice president?"

"Moze is the reason I'm running in the first place."

"What about me, Ned?" Moze intervened into their conversation.

"Well, you see Ned here is…" Cookie began until Ned interrupted him.

"Yeah, you see Ned here is thinking isn't the weather great today? I really wonder what Moze thinks of the weather." Ned said trying not to reveal that he was running but it was obvious he was hiding something.

"Wow." Was all Moze could respond with. "I'll see you guys in English." As soon as she was out of sight Ned sprung back into his pitch.

"So what does this actually have to do with Moze?" Cookie asked before Ned could say a word.

"She's running for class president." Ned stated nonchalantly as the two began to walk to art.

"I don't see what the problem with that is."

"You don't understand her motives. She's just running so she can have it on her college application and because she knows people will vote for her because her dad works here!"

"That sounds ridiculous!"

"Exactly, so my plan is that we run against Moze as a joke, show her how stupid she's being with this whole election thing, we both lose. It's a win-win situation!"

"Okay… I guess I'll join you in this. I don't know what it'll prove but it could be fun. I guess."

So when social studies class came around, Cookie filled out an application to run as Ned's vice-president. Moze came into class last once again and saw Cookie filling out the application.

"What are you running for?" Moze asked standing behind Cookie, making him jump.

"I was running for vice president!"

"For who? Usually the person running for president needs to pick a vice."

"Well, I'm running with N… I mean, I figured that since you haven't found a vice president yet, I might as well run as your vice president."

"But Simon," Mr. Mosely interrupted, "I thought you were running with…"

"Oh! Well, you know opinions change and…" Cookie intervened.

"Cookie, let him talk. What were you saying, dad?" Moze said.

"Nothing, but I thought Simon was…" Mr. Mosely tried to point out.

"Well, I was going to at first but you know, Moze needs my help and I need to put her before… the guy who I was originally running with." Cookie said.

"That makes a lot of sense." Mr. Mosely said.

Cookie filled out the rest of the application and sat at his desk.

"That's weird." Moze said to her dad, "I told him Suzie was my vice president."

At the end of the day, Mr. Mosely put the list of students running on the bulletin board in the guidance office. Moze and Suzie happened to be walking by and Moze checked to see if she and Suzie made the cut. There it was MOSELY-CRABGRASS on the typed piece of paper.

"Huh. I thought Cookie said he was going to be my VP." Moze said.

"Maybe it's just a misprint" Suzie said, "I never actually 100 agreed to be your vice president."

Ned and Cookie came by to look at the sheet. After Ned found his name, he turned to Moze with a big Jack Nicholson grin. "Look who you're running against."

Moze looked on the sheet once again and right above MOSELY-CRABGRASS, there it was: BIGBY-COOK.

"What the-?" she stammered. "Your running against me?!"

"That's right." Ned nonchalantly responded.

"But… why?"

"Because A) I have experience running for class president and B) just so I can beat you and prove how stupid your intentions are."

"Come on! I'm perfect for class president!"

"Personally, I think Suzie would be more suitable for president, after all, we did run against each other in the seventh grade election."

"He does have a point." Suzie told Moze.

"You stay out of this!" Moze yelled at Suzie.

"So, I can run. Is this really that big a deal?" Ned asked.

"Ned, I could be such a great class president! Everyone knows me and will vote for me, it works great!"

"The only reason your running is because you're dad works here and everybody knows him doesn't mean everyone will be prompted to vote for you!"

"Okay, you guys need to chill!" Cookie yelled.

"Fine." Ned said.

"Yeah, whatever." Moze said then told Suzie, "We've got some serious competition here."

"Look," Ned said, "we're just running as a joke. I really doubt we'll win."

"All right," Moze said, "We'll see how this election goes. I just hope I end up winning."

"I know," Ned said, "it looks good on college applications, whatever you say."

Next time: Ned and Cookie's political campaign, the debate and the results of the election!
