Generation 1: Chapter 11: No Matter Who Wins, We Lose.

It's not every day that your husband runs for President. So Katrina gave Edward a little good luck......With sexy times, yes.

"Boy, politics keep getting better and better!" Edward cheers after the fun times are over.

The next day, Edward met with his running mate, Malcolm Landgraab outside the local spa.

"Alright Malcolm, your Mom informed me that while the voters like the cool 'Long haired rebel' look for a Mayor, apparently that's not going to fly in the Presidential race." Edward explains.

"So we're both going to need makeovers so we can look respectable and professional." Edward continues.

"Wait, I don't look like a rebel." Malcolm objects "I don't need a makeover to look respectable right?"

"Trust me, you need a makeover." Edward continues.

One Makeover later.

"So, now we're looking like we're ready for politics!" Edward exclaims after getting his new haircut. "I completely forgot what my ears looked like."

"Do you honestly think voters are shallow enough to vote for us just because we got our hair slicked back?" Malcolm questions.

"Of course not, we need killer suits as well!" Edward continues.

One trip to the tailor's later.

"There, NOW we look like we can take over this world!" Edward cheers. "Now let's find Victor Feng and show him that we won't bow down so easily!"

Edward kicked the door open to Victor Feng's apartment and marched in with confidence.

"Don't mind me, just the future President breaking into your home." Edward said, waiting years to finally use that comment against Victor.

"Alright President Feng! I am here to challenge you in the election! I'll be our next President!" Edward proclaims.

"Baxter, what are you doing in here?! It's 3AM!" Victor shouts "And I'm not the President yet."

The realization sinks into Edward's brain a moment after Victor's comment.

"Wait, you're not the President?" Edward asked curiously "So you're telling me that even when you had no opposition, no one voted for you? Sweet, this is easier than I thought it would be."

"Get the plum out of my home." Victor demands.

"Well our work here is done." Edward says coming down the stairs "Let's go Malcolm, we have a campaign to run."

"Hey Ed, hey Malcolm." Lily says warmly "You guys want some coffee?"

"Not tonight Lily." Malcolm adds "My Mom is going to freak out when she finds out I was out so late. Next time."

Well it's 4:30 AM after Edward and Malcolm decided to stop and get some late night waffles before he headed home.

Katrina's not upset about Edward coming home late, in fact she's quite happy after seeing Edward cleaned up like this. So yes, there was sexy time.

So turns out Malcolm Landgraab was dating Morgan Fyres at this time so Edward and Katrina got a nice invitation to their wedding.

Too bad Malcolm's hair reverted back to.....that at the wedding. Back to the spa for him!

"What a wonderful wedding." Katrina exclaimed as the guests watched the bride and groom say their vows.

"Why am I stuck sitting back here?" Edward questioned.

Some months later, Edward threw a big soiree at his place......yes, it was literally just a "Vote for Edward" function. But hey, gotta get those votes.

Morgan Landgraab certainly chose an........appropriate outfit for this shindig.

Luckily we had the musical styling of Katrina to provide a nice atmosphere to the event.

"Can you believe we were actually invited to a Presidential Campaign benefit?" Arun Bheeda gushed "Never in a million years did I think we'd end up anywhere this fancy! And all we had to do was be nice to Edward a couple years ago!"

"So what's this piece of junk?" Moira Fyres asked while looking at this lousy art piece.

"Fun fact, my dad and I bought this because we saw it was a thousand simoleons and we just couldn't believe it." Edward answered.

"......And you expect us to put YOU in charge of the country?" Moira realized.

"It's either me or Victor Feng." Edward said bluntly. Sounds like a good campaign motto.

"Hey Everyone!" Malcolm announced "Turns out Morgan and I are going to be having a baby!"

"Oh my gosh.....I'm so sorry for you." Rina said, consoling Morgan.

"So Nina, since we have a child together.....perhaps we can try to make this relationship work?" Paolo Rocca suggested.

"I have no idea who you are." Nina responded.

THE NEXT WEEK AT THE LOCAL LIBRARY......Which also has a debate hall....

The first Presidential Debate between Edward Baxter and Victor Feng!!!!!!!!!

So Mr Baxter, what do you plan to do about the economy?

"Make more money." Edward answered bluntly.

No, Mr Baxter. The problem isn't the fact that we don't have money, we don't need you to make more money.

"Don't ask Baxter to make a promise!" Victor Feng curses "15 Years as the Mayor and he hasn't upheld any of his campaign promises!"

"Not true, we built community centers, outlawed people from throwing tomatoes at musicians, and somehow lowered the unemployment rate!" Edward boasts.

"Okay fine you got me there. But what about your promise to make Bob Pancakes' life better?" Victor says, accusing Edward. "You can't just make unreal promises like that, no one can make Bob Pancakes' life better! He's doomed to live in mediocrity!"

"May I object?" A voice from the audience calls out.

"Actually Mr Feng..." A visibly happier Bob Pancakes says "After I voted for Edward, my wife and I were able to put all of our marriage troubles behind us and now we have several happy children together." Bob continues "AND after I voted for him I quit my job and followed my dreams of being a comedian and am now the most popular comic on the face of the planet."
