"Yay." Everybody said deadly.

"Why that?" Cory asked.

"Because every year somebody runs, makes promises and nobody does anything," Riley told him.

"Yeah, what lunkhead's running the elections this year?"  Maya chuckled.

"How ya doin'?"  Cory gave her a look.

"Can't you just make a change?" Elliot asked.

"You know what? It's up to you guys to make changes. Since we're studying alternate forms of governments this year, why not let the candidates run in any form of government they choose?" Cory asked.

Everybody groaned but Farkle, he cheered.

"So any nominations?" Cory asked.

"I, Farkle, nominate I, Farkle, for dictator." Farkle raised his hand.

"You can't nominate yourself, Farkle," Cory told him.

"I'll nominate him." Rebel spoke up.

Everybody turned to him.

"Oh look who finally decided to speak up," Elliot smirked.

"Shut up, El." Rebel rolled his eyes.

"Really?" Farkle asked shocked.

"Yeah. I like ya. I got your back." Rebel told him.

"I thought you two had my back."  Farkle turned to Lucas and Elliot.

"I got his back." Lucas turned to Rebel.

"Whoa, easy there, harmonica." Rebel put his hands up in surrender.

"Hey, I got his back since second grade you're nothing compared to that Cow lover," Elliot told Lucas.

"In fact, I'll be your campaign manager buddy," Elliot told Farkle.

"Thanks." Farkle smiled.

Lucas turned back to Rebel.

"Who are you? Where did you come from?" Lucas asked.

"He's the rebel," Riley told him.

"His name is even Rebel," Elliot added.

"Well, what am I?" Lucas asked.

"Oh, you're the good guy. You're our moral compass." Farkle told him.

"Wow. That sounds hard to pull off." Lucas said.

"Yeah, but you're really good at it,"  Farkle told him.

"Thanks." Lucas smiled gratefully.

"See?" Farkle smiled.

"He's right, Friar. Represent democracy." Cory told Lucas.

"I don't know, Mr. Matthews. If democracy worked, maybe I'd have gotten a vote on where I get to live." Lucas told him.

"I nominate Lucas Friar for p
President.' Riley raised her hand.

"Okay. Second?" Cory asked.

Riley waved her raised hand.

"No, honey, you nominated him. You can't second the nomination"  Cory began but she didn't put her hand down.

"All right, fine." Cory gave up.

"What are you doing? He's your competition." Maya told Riley.

"I'm not running for anything," Riley told her.
