First month at school and she had yet to leave a lasting impression on anyone. It wasn’t her fault that she had to spend the past week holed away in her dorm cram studying to be up to speed with the rest of her grade. Two decades ago she was the top of the class, both grade and popularity wise, now she was back to the bottom of the totem pole. Her whacky sense of fashion could only get her so far in two weeks. While there was a slim possibility that she could resume to her social standing twenty years ago by just being herself and nothing else, there had to be some sort of way to speed up the process, right?
Then, it hit her. Student council elections were around the corner. From what she remembered, candidates received quite a bit of attention during election times, even though it tended to be short lived. Surely, even if she were to lose, none of her efforts would go in vain, she would maintain the it. Who could ever resist such a bubbly personality and looks so good that she seemed unreal?
After an afternoon of prepping, it was time to make her grand debut as candidate for the upcoming election. She was all decked out in protocol campaign gear, tie embellished campaign buttons and oversized star glasses. If one squinted hard enough, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between her and Uncle Sam. She tightened her tie before stepping out into the courtyard. In her left hand was a colorful plastic sign with her name printed, in the other hand was a megaphone….
Candy made her way across the courtyard and towards a large tree that would provide plenty of shade, the worst possible thing that could happen giving this speech would be melting before it's over.

Candy took a deep breath before stepping onto the stool and turned on her megaphone. “ Hiya students of Starlight!” She exclaimed, bringing the megaphone to her mouth.
“ Student council elections are here and so am I! Is this a coincidence? Obviously not! That’s why I, Candy, local living doll, have decided to run in this election! This school is totally tubular, but I can make it even better! If Barbie can be president, so can I!”
“ Speaking of Barbie, she can do pretty much anything, and like, I'm basically Barbie, so like, I guess that means I can do anything she does, making me perfect for any task on the council. In the past fifty years she’s been a gymnast, a chef, a president, a game developer, a teacher, a nurse, a vet, a pilot, a firefighter, a scientist…. Oh! Did I forgot to mention president? She’s also been a detective, a police, a pediatrician, a director, a-”
