Brighton...
A place where dreams
are born and turnips are grown.
We may be a small town, but we've got an enlarged heart.
And I'm proud to call this my forever home.
My dream is to en-happify Brighton.
And then to get the word en-happify in the dictionary.
So choose me, Molly McGee,
as Brighton's Mayor
for a Day!
I'm Joanie Pataky for KWP.
We're here as the first Mayor for a Day!
contest winner, Molly McGee, gets sworn in.
There were a lot of submissions,
but only one showed the passion
required for the job.
Molly McGee, do you solemnly swear
to uphold the Office of Mayor and all
of the responsibilities therein?
By the sacred turnip, I swear I do.
And here's the Mayor's office,
where the decisions get made and the papers get signed.
Hey, this is real mahogany!
Fancy!
I'm gonna put my feet on it!
And perhaps my butt.
How many pages can this baby handle?
Thirty? Thirty-five?
Oh, it's been known to handle up to 36
if you put your back into it!
These are all the past Mayors Brunson.
My mom, her dad, his mom, her dad.
Their eyes, always following me...
full of disappointment.
Wow.
I can almost feel the crushing weight
of responsibility in here!
Yes, being Mayor
is a mighty big responsibility
which is why I'm glad it's your problem now!
Woohoo!
Um, I'm sorry. My problem?
Are you going somewhere?
Yeah. Away.
You took the sacred Turnip Oath which,
as all Brightonians know,
is legally-binding,
so you're in charge now, Mayor McGee!
What? Don't I need to be a grown up
- to be in charge? - Nah, you'll be fine.
You've got the passion for the job!
That's all you need. I never wanted to be Mayor.
One year I didn't even run.
People wrote me in anyway!
But now I'm free to find my true calling in life.
- We out! - Mayor Brunson, wait!
Slow down, sis.
Let's think about this opportunity for a second.
Don't you want to en-happify Brighton?
Yeah.
And wouldn't that be easier
if you were in charge of Brighton?
Yeah.
So why not cut out the middle man and embrace
your chance to make a real difference in this town?
I don't know how to run a whole town!
I can't just learn all that instantly!
Unless...
I put on--the blazer...
The ultimate symbol of knowing important grown up stuff...
Scalable solutions! Bricks to clicks!
A sustainable economy of public-private synergy!
Do you know what that means?
Nobody does!
Darryl, I'm in.
Does she just carry that blazer everywhere?
What Brighton needs is something bold.
Something fun, Something-- En-happifying?
Exactly.
What would make Brighton happy?
Give me pitches, people!
- Pancake Breakfast. - Giant slip 'n slide.
We'll do both. At the same time!
- But. - Decisive.
One catch: I hate maple syrup
in both texture and taste.
- Do we need it? - Polling number say yes!
What are we gonna slip and/or slide on?
Fine.
Let's get Enhappifying!
You know, I don't know what I was worried about.
Passion really was all I needed to be Mayor!
Listen to the satisfying sound of en-happification.
Wait, is that cheering or screaming?
My Enhappification has been ruined!
Joanie Pataky, KWP!
Turns out a child mayor was not a great idea.
This maple syrup slide has attracted a swarm
of hungry horseflies!
Up next, can one woman outrun a swarm of horseflies?
No, the answer is no!
Our poll numbers might take a hit over this.
Sweet baby corn, we've ruined the town!
Uh, just do what I do.
You create a fake portal and pretend the Ghost Council
is calling you. It works all the time.
Wait, you fake those?
Um, never with you.
Okay, whatever.
But what are we going to do about the horseflies?
The maple syrup was Scratch's idea!
Wow. Wow! Just gonna turn on me
like that, huh? You know, what,
never mind. I can figure this out.
I'm wearing a blazer so I must know
what I'm doing, right?
Speak to me, blazer. Tell me what to do.
What'd the blazer say?
Nothing! It didn't say anything okay?
It's just a very fashionable, timeless piece of clothing!
And it can't give me any magical powers of grownup-iness!
Oh, okay.
Uh, there's only one thing to do.
Burn the town, blame the previous administration?
Yeah, you're winning me back over.
I think he's onto something here.
Let's hear him out.
You guys are the worst advisers.
No! We need to get the real Mayor back!
Scratch, you're coming with me.
Darryl, stay here and return those office supplies!
What office supplies?
Oh. Those office supplies.
Good news to report.
The horseflies have eaten all the maple syrup and pancakes!
The bad news is, the food is gone
and they are angry about it!
Oh, no, they've found me again!
Help!
I don't see The Mayor anywhere!
Mostly because these horseflies
won't stop biting my eyes.
Ow!
We've searched all over the city.
Maybe it's time to give up.
Let's just take a little snack break.
Scratch, this is no time for cotton candy.
Brighton is in trouble!
Then again sugar does help me problem-solve.
Hi, one pink and blue swirl please.
Um, hello? Sir?
I'm trying to patronize your business!
Mayor Brunson! It's you!
What? No, it's not!
I'm just Stu, the local Cotton Candy Maker
who no longer lives under the overwhelming
weight of a whole town's expectations!
You said swirl, right?
Mr. Mayor! Brighton needs a real leader!
Turns out it takes way more than a tasteful blazer
and passion. You also need
a lot of experience!
Please, Molly.
I have lots of passion and no experience
in cotton candy,
but watch this.
Don't worry, I think it's just warming up.
It's gonna blow!
Okay. Maybe you're right.
Maybe the town does need an experienced Mayor.
But it shouldn't be me!
And no one in this world can convince me otherwise,
No one in this world, huh?
Scratch, finish that spun sugar and fire up a portal.
You can't just call those up whenever you want, Molly.
Yeah, okay.
Help!
Mom, what are you doing here?
What are the Mayors Brunson doing here?

Ah!
A horse made of metal!
Come at me, you mechanical monstrosity!
I'll give you a slice of the Brunson backhand!
I had the craziest cotton candy dream.
My mom was there, and granddad.
And there were dancing ghosts!
What? That's a super weird dream.
Too much cotton candy for you, mister!
But I'm suddenly filled with the drive
to put things right!
Come on, Goldie.
It's time to get back to doing what we do best.
Mayoring!
All right, Brighton.
Let's get this mess cleaned up!
The Mayor is back.
Mayor Brunson is back!
Ah, there's that groove specifically formed to my butt.
I'm home.
Sorry I screwed everything up so bad.
I guess I'm not cut out to be Mayor, even for a day.
Molly, wait.
I'm the last Brunson.
And town's gonna need a new Mayor some day.
Me? But didn't we learn that it takes
more than passion to run a town?
Well, you've only got passion now.
Keep that, add some time and experience,
and someday you might make a great Mayor.
I mean, you already have the wardrobe.
Yes! Blazer! Doing it again!
