Citizens of Paixao, it's been a difficult time here, I know. Through it all, one person has been with you. One person has been there through the hard times, the good times and everything in between. One person has gone out of their way to keep you informed and in good hands.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to take this time to officially announce that I'm dropping out of Paixao's mayoral race and supporting that singular person of questionable moral compass but undeniable cunning:

Timon for Mayor!

I know what you're thinking. Sure, he's short and he's got a mouth that won't quit, but he's been around longer than most of us. He knows the game, friends, and I'm willing to put my money on the experienced horse. And if you're worried he won't have the walk to back up his talk, don't stress: I'll personally offer my services to keep him in line and the rest of you protected.

Whether he likes it or not.

Oh, I'm hurt, and here I thought I had finally earned your trust.

No hard feelings. You're an interesting guy to hang around, but the idea of you in any position of power kind of gives me the creeps.

Ouch. Why don't you tell me how you really feel?

Better yet, when I win, remind me to tell you I told you so.

If you win, I'll buy you a drink. If you win.

Make it dinner and a drink and you've got a deal.

It's always food with you.

Fine. Dinner and a drink.

I'm always hungry. If I could be full, I would. Besides, a dinner means more time together to celebrate my victory.

...You've gotta be kidding me.

What?

[trying to picture Timon as a leader.

...it's not working. she'll focus on a different point.]

You were running for mayor too?

That's right. I decided to bow out.

If you wanted a date, all you had to do was ask.

Why? Isn't leading good?

...sometimes.

I don't feel up to running for mayor at the moment. Don't worry, though; leading happens even without a title.

[It might not seem like much to say, but it gets Xion thinking, at least. Everyone in the Organization has a title- 'The Superior' being the most obvious in leadership. But she's not sure she's every actually seen someone lead without a title. In all the world she went to, there was always a leader, but they were a Sultan or a mayor or something...]

Oh. [Yea, way to express your thoughts, Xion. At least it's a thoughtful 'oh'?]

...

You know, I'd even go so far as to say the true leaders of the world will always find a way to lead and protect others, no matter what situation, no matter how bleak things may seem. Just because you have a title doesn't mean you're right for the job.

But! I'm straying from the point. Vote for Timon!

You aren't seriously going to do this, are you? It's... It's Timon. That idiot's entire platform will involve food, money and "fur brushings".

I thought you didn't care about Paixao's politics.

I'm not a citizen. I can't vote. [she tried. she didn't know how to fill out half the answers without seeming really strange (like, the race and the age parts).]

I don't. But I do care about morons getting titles they don't deserve.

Oh? No worries! Just your endorsement will do a lot for Timon's election!

By the way, what's your name? How do you know our dear meerkat?

I'm flattered you think my endorsement would do so much for him.

I'm Xion. And I, um... don't. [God she's such a bad liar. But she promised and is trying to help Namine and Roxas, so.]

Really? Huh. I'll have to organize a Timon Meet 'n Greet.

Well, Xion, it's nice to meet you. I hope we can talk more face-to-face someday.

Weirder things have happened.
