Cast(in order of appearance): Calvin, Susie, Calvin's mother, Hobbes, Socrates, Candace, Tracer Bullet

Summary
When Susie begins running for school president, Calvin does also, in an attempt to stop her from becoming "leader" of his school.

Plot
Calvin goes to the bulletin board at lunchtime to see the possible candidates for school president. He tries to get past the crowd, but they ignore him, so Calvin pauses time and goes to the front of the line. Susie arrives, and expresses her intention of running, to which Calvin denounces, on the logic that a girl can't run for president. But Susie signs up anyway, causing Calvin to rant about it to Hobbes and tells him the possible things Susie will do as president. Calvin says they need to stop her, and Hobbes suggests running against Susie. Calvin shakes off the idea, but he eventually agrees, and they get Socrates' help to help beat Susie. Socrates says he'll come up with a plan, and the next day, Calvin signs up to run. When Susie arrives, she and Calvin notice a giant neon sign that insults Susie. Susie sees this as fair game, and declares war. Calvin tells Socrates that his plan may have been a little harsh, and then moves on to the next phase. Hobbes has come up with a campaign slogan for Calvin, and Socrates has made little pins for people. The next day, Calvin gives his speech to a standing ovation. Susie decides to have Calvin drop out of the race, and Candace decides to help, asking Calvin to be the hall monitor, which Calvin declines. Calvin thinks about dropping out of the race, but Socrates convinces him not to, while in a cheery mood. The next day, Calvin loses the election, which he is both happy and angry about. Susie shows up at Calvin's door, and they both apologize to each other, and Susie admits she didn't win either, and some kid named Elliot won. Calvin finishes by saying for a slimy girl, Susie's pretty cool. When Susie leaves, Calvin goes to fill some water balloons.
