Ch. 5: Let the Political Catfight Begin
Bai Tza and Ice are already making posters and signs for the campaign. Ice just finished painting a sign saying "Vote 4 Bianca".
"So what is your plat form gonna be?" Ice asks.
"Why would I need a small stage?" Bai Tza asks with confusion.
"No, Water Girl. A platform means all the issues, or problems, you're gonna fix in the school."
"For one thing, I plan to make sure all the smart kids like Chrissie are treated with the respect they deserve."
"Cool! Treat the smart kids like royalty."
"And I am going to provide protection from them so they wouldn't suffer through any bullying."
"A bodyguard program? That's mega cool."
"I wonder what you sister's platform be about."
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
At Ice's townhouse, Stacey, Mikey, and the rest of the Popular Posse were making their own posters and signs.
"So, Stace, how are you gonna take that mermaid down?" Wanda asks.
"The way most politicians do: buy the voters and slam the competition," Stacey replied.
"What are you gonna do once your school president?" Chelsea asks her.
"I'm gonna make sure every mega dweeb is separated from the cool kids, and to make sure those magic geeks are treated like scum. Plus, I will make sure we have some of the finest and fanciest dances. But I'm not concern with the issues. I want to do this in case my daddy shows up."
"What makes you think your pop will show?" Mikey asks, "I thought he's restricted from seeing you and your brother?"
"No thanks to my malicious mom," Stacey growled, "but I know he'll show. I'm his princess."
"Well if we are gonna buy votes, I need to get out my platinum card," Nicki said, "I got a plan that will buy those votes."
The next day at school, Ice and Bai Tza were putting up posters. Ice also spoke through the megaphone.
"Remember to vote for Bianca, Dudes!" he shouted, "A vote for her is a vote against evil sisters!"
Drago pulls him away to talk to him.
"Ice, you're as bad as your sister," he mumbled.
"Just doin' what I can to get your aunt elected," Ice whispered, "Besides, no tellin' what kind of sneaky thing my sis is gonna do."
Suddenly, a large crowd gathers around Stacey, Chelsea, and Nicki. They were giving away free Ipads to the kids.
"Vote for Stacey and get a free Ipad! Latest model!" Nicki shouted through her megaphone.
"What's she doing?" Bai Tza asks.
"What else? Buyin' the voters through free gifts," Ice replied annoyed.
"With that many votes on her end, I'll lose. What do we do now?"
"Don't worry, B. We'll start up "Operation: Mudsling the Sista."
"You are not seriously gonna mudsling your sister, are you?" Colleen asks with reprimand.
"D'uh," Ice replied to her.
Then, Colleen and Drago saw Sophie, Frank (from Dragon Scouts), and Finn putting up one of her campaign posters.
"Hey, Sophie," Colleen said.
"Hey, Colleen," Sophie greeted, "Have you met my Uncle Finn and little brother Frank?"
"You're uncle and I work at the part-time job," Colleen said.
"We're here to help Sophie with her campaign," Frank said.
"Good thing, too, Bro," Sophie said with a dismal look at Stacey, "Can you believe that superficial princess brat? Thinking she can win an election by buying the votes with fancy tech."
"If you think that's bad, Bianca and Ice are about to mudsling her," Drago warned.
"Uh-oh!" Frank, Finn, and Sophie said.
"Looks like Jade might be right about a catfight coming," Finn said.
