Niki laughed heartily as cheers filled the air, and Fundy took the podium. 'Dear citizens,' he said with dignity, yet with tiny, translucent tears in his eyes. 'It is my great honour to be gifted with the esteemed title of President of L'Manburg. Your wellbeing is everything I care about, and this beautiful nation deserves only the best. So my Vice President is none other than the lovely Miss Niki Nihachu! We will provide you with ice-cream and cookies galore, and serve you with both loyalty and kindness!'

She took a deep breath and stepped up to the podium, flattening her fair hair and straightening her coat-jacket. There were a few poorly muffled giggles as she adjusted the microphone, bringing it up from Fundy's noticeably lower height to her fairly average one. 'People of L'Manburg.' she began slowly, swallowing her fear. 'Today is a day to celebrate! With COCONUT 2020'S presidency our nation enters an era of peace and prosperity, not just in the economy, but in ourselves. So enjoy everyday, and keep your friends close. Don't be afraid to approach President Fundy or I if you have any questions at all. Thank you very much everyone!' The L'Manburg anthem played as Niki and Fundy strode off stage, waving to the crowd. 'Oh my goodness.' was all Niki said, as she collapsed breathless onto a backstage chair. 'I can't believe we did it!' Fundy exclaimed, pumping his fists and dancing around. 'I can't. Believe. We did it.'
