How's that?
Vote for me. See?
Did you see what Heather's handing out?
Oh, that is so cute!
Can you believe it? Joey Bonbora is running!
I'd vote for him anytime.
Uh-oh, here comes Madelyn.
Oh, please!
Little Ms. Perfect.
Hi, my name is Madelyn Spaulding
and I'm running for freshman class president.
Would you sign my petition for..
Madelyn Spaulding. Could you.. Hmm!
'Yeah.'
Ahh!
That was such an easy morning patrol
I still have 15 minutes before class starts!
- Hello. - Huh?
Hi, oh, I just..
Uh, see, I lost a book which is, uh, why I'm back here.
I..
Hello, my name is Madelyn Spaulding.
Madelyn. I know. We're in the same homeroom.
Then you may also know that I'm running
for freshman president.
Good for you. Well, I better...
And if elected, I will do all I can to make Dakota Union
a high school of which everyone can be proud.
In fact, I've drawn up a description
'of my platform that includes 32 issues.'
- 'Item one, uniforms.' - Madelyn.
To keep distractions such as improper clothing
or social pressures from negatively impacting
the educational environment...
Gotta run.
But I didn't finish explaining.
One signature down, forty-nine to go.
Come on!
Your new morning workout?
No, this piece of junk is busted again!
Back off, De La Hoya. Let me try.
A gentle jump-start
and away we.. Whoa.
Ohh! Hey! Ow! Aah!
Yeah, that fixed it.
Man, those machines have been funky all year!
But does the school repair 'em? No!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Foley, that Is a low-priority item."
Yeah, for them, maybe.
Maybe we should tell Madelyn Spaulding
to add it to her campaign platform.
That control freak?
Last week, she came up to me at lunch
and criticized the way I was chewing.
Hey, maybe you should run for president.
You know, on a "fix the snack machines" crusade.
Hmm, that's not a bad idea.
Oh, yeah, and as a bonus
I get to give Ms. High and Mighty Madelyn
a little competition.
Deal.
'Are you tired of snack machines that don't work?'
Are you hungry for change and maybe a burrito?
Then vote for Richie Foley
your next freshman class president.
- Yeah! - I'll vote for him!
'That's right, fellow students.'
'No longer will we go without our chips, our sodas'
'our creme-filled treats.'
Excuse me, "Fix the vending machines?"
You call that a platform?
He already has enough signatures
to qualify as a candidate.
- He does? You do? - Yep.
Which means, that it's gonna be one mighty tight race
between me and Joey Bonbora.
Really? Well..
Well, then, we'll just see about that, mister.
And how's your sign-up goin'?
None of your buis.. Whoa, ow, ohh!
Hey, you okay?
Just peachy, thank you.
What up? She eat the meatloaf?
I'm not sure.
Oh, unh!
Darn that Richie Foley!
I should be president, not him.
And not Joey Bonbora.
Me, I deserve it. It's just spite, jealousy and..
Excuse me, Mr. Homeless Person.
My name is Madelyn Spaulding
and I'm writing an essay for extra credit
on the poverty-stricken population in Dakota.
Therefore, I'd like to ask you a few..
What in the world!
Boom.
Ew!
Ugh, I can't believe Mr. Lawler gave us a quiz.
Oh, there's Brian!
He is such a hottie!
She's looking at my zit. I know she is!
I hope they don't beat me up again.
Hey, Spaulding, you got a problem?
Yeah, her problem is nobody's gonna vote for her.
Why don't you both buzz off?
- Huh? Buzz, buzz, buzz. - Huh? Buzz, buzz, buzz.
- Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz. - Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.
- Buzz, buzz, buzz. - Buzz, buzz, buzz.
I can control them!
Okay, people, quiet down.
We have a lot of speeches to hear today.
Uh, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
Give me caramel corn or give me death.
Uh, better fed than read?
Huh?
Uh, how about, let my people snack?
Hey, Richie, my man, how's it goin'?
Uh, fine, Joey.
Uh, you know, we're running against each other.
Yeah? Oh, well, good luck!
He could actually win this thing.
Come on, he's a nice guy, but he's not smart enough
to be president.
Never stopped anybody before.
And now the candidates for freshman class president.
Up first is Joey Bonbora.
Joey, Joey, Joey Joey, Joey, Joey..
Hey, hey!
Joey, penny for your thoughts.
'Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey.'
'Joey.'
What's going on there?
Mr. Bonbora, we're waiting.
Fellow students..
I no longer wish, to be freshman president.
So, I withdraw my name
and ask you to support the only candidate
who really deserves your vote.
Madelyn Spaulding.
- 'What?' - Madelyn?
Psst, V, check this..
Not so fast, Richard.
Time to get into your brain.
Hey, what's goin' on?
Richie?
'You, you're..'
Interesting.
Richie, what's with you, man?
You're supposed to be on stage.
No, V, I heard Madelyn.
Well, yeah, she was just here talking to you.
No, bro, listen, it wasn't her talking.
It was like, she was inside my head.
'I mean it, V.'
Madelyn Spaulding was rummaging around inside
my skull, trying to change me into a, a brain puppet!
Ugh!
- Brain puppet? - Drone, mind slave, whatever.
When you showed up, your energy field
must've caused some kind of feedback and stopped her.
Richie, you have definitely been watching
too much science fiction.
Bro, I heard her thoughts.
She plans to turn every student here into a zombie!
Look, if Madelyn had mind-control powers
do you honestly think she would waste time
taking over a high school?
Thump Madelyn..
No, really, you are too kind.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Madelyn, Madelyn, Madelyn..
We're in trouble, yes?
Well, lookie here!
Virgil Hawkins slack-off extraordinaire
actually hitting the books?
Mm-hmm.
Mr. All-school Merit Scholar
Mr. I Don't Need To Study.
Mr.. What are you reading?
- Hmm? - These are my psychology books!
I know, sorry.
But I need to learn about how the mind works.
In case you ever get one?
Come on, I won't hurt 'em.
Then, maybe next time, you'll ask
before you just grab my stuff!
Please, Sharon.
Some of the kids at school have been acting weird.
I'm trying to figure out why.
Go on.
I figure maybe it's drugs or a virus
or something in the water.
Or somebody with telepathy.
Say what?
Well, there's this girl, Madelyn. Kind of a pain.
Anyway, she's running against Richie
for freshman class president.
Only Richie thinks she's a Bang Baby
and can turn people into brain puppets.
Brain puppets?
Okay, I know it sounds crazy.
Brain puppets!
Oh, Virgil, you've definitely been watching
too much science fiction.
Oh, yeah?
Well, well, that's what I told Richie!
Zap.
Sleep well, Virgil Hawkins.
Not.
♪ Everybody thinking about me ♪
♪ Thinking everybody thinking ♪
I have got to stop eating jalapenos before bedtime.
'Virgil Hawkins.'
Me? No, see, you got it all wrong.
I'm Static, not...
Now, Virgil, you can't fool me.
I know all about you.
Your static powers may protect you
but there are other ways to keep
you from ruining my campaign.
What do you mean?
Oh, you'll see.
Oh, it's just a dream.
Huh?
They're all brain puppets!
Hey, uh, family.
Up kind of late, aren't you?
Uh-huh. Listen, I'm just gonna go downstairs for, huh?
You okay?
You aren't going anywhere, Virgil.
Sis, pops, aah!
Thud.
Okay, bad choice of words.
You realize, this is gonna ruin your chances
of making father of the..
Y-year?
Aah!
You two okay in there?
Glad to hear it.
Wait! Stop! Snap out of it!
Madelyn Spaulding has taken over your brains!
Rich, am I glad to see you. You were right!
It's Madelyn, and she even got to pops and Sharon.
We got to do something.
Oh, no, Richie, you, too?
Sorry about this, bud.
Richie, I promise you'll be alright. I'll check you later.
Okay.
Think I better get this on tape.
Click.
Hello, my name is Madelyn Spaulding
and I am running for freshman class president.
Hello.
Yay.
Some of us are destined for greatness. It's a gift.
But it's also a burden
especially if nobody else appreciates that greatness.
This could go on a while.
'Especially if everybody is so mean'
and not doing their jobs
so that the really great people have to do all the extra work
and never get any thanks
and never get invited to sleepovers or anything!
Yeah.
Only now, it's gonna be different.
Tomorrow, you will all vote for me
as president of the freshman class.
And if that goes well, why stop with freshman?
I could run the school.
I could be president of everybody!
Whoa there, Madame President, I demand a recount.
What are you doing here?
Shutting you down, lady.
I have your whole crazy speech on tape.
Your cover is blown.
Well, so is yours.
I'm going to tell the whole world
that Static is really Virgil Hawkins.
I'm still gonna shut you down.
Attention, students, this is your president speaking.
Get me that superhero.
And his little tape, too!
Whoa!
Aah!

Yes, Richie.
And the varsity football team.
Aah.
You may as well give me that videotape.
Even if you show it to the police
I would just take over their minds, too.
From now on, I'm the boss.
Oh, yeah? Well, you're not the boss of me.
- Am too. Am too. - Am not. Am not.
Hold him!
Argh!
You will do as I... command!
No, I won't!
Unh.
Aah!
Ugh.
Yes!
How did I end up at school?
Why are we out here in our underwear?
Huh, nice nightie, Ruth.
Take a hike, weasel face.
I'm so embarrassed.
- I can't remember a thing. - 'Oh, what happened?'
- Hey, what happened? - What are we doing here?
- What happened? - Uh..
Hello, I'm Sadelyn Maulding.
I'm running f-for-for, unh..
Oh, let's just say that Madelyn and I
had a little meeting of the minds.
Okay, okay, settle down, settle down.
My fellow Americans..
Oops, sorry, wrong speech.
This was a very close race.
Thanks to you, the faculty knows that we will not rest
until the vending-machine crisis gets resolved!
And thanks to my opponent Joey Bonbora
who will take up the issue during the next term
as the new president of the freshman class.
Come on out, Joey.
Great concession speech, man.
Very classy.
Hey, I'm a born politician.
And speaking of politicians
what's up with Her Royal Weirdness?
Madelyn? Well, Static peeked in on her this mornin'.
She took quite a zap to the head
but she's gonna be okay.
Does she remember who Static is?
She doesn't even remember she's a meta-human.
Let's just hope it stays that way.
V, I gotta hand it to you.
It must've been pretty scary
when she had us all under her control.
Not to mention having everyone turn against you.
Huh, yes, it was.
V? V?
Must eat meat.
Hamburger.
Yes, hamburger and fries.
- Ooh. - Hungry.
- Feed me. - Mm, yum.
- Ooh. - Must eat.
