"I love you too," She hugged herself with her free arm," I'll see you after the meeting"
She hung up the phone, she didn't say anything for a moment. The silence hugged her chest like it was going to suffocate her, she looked at Belle lost for words, but she swallowed and forced a small smile," Yeah, we can go shopping if you want..."
Granny would have wanted her to be strong, they needed to win this.

"Are you okay Ruby? You look upset." Belle came over to her, "If your up for shopping then lets go. I want to make sure your okay."
Belle waited for her to answer her.

Belle touched her shoulder, "Well only if your sure I haven't done much shopping so I will be very quick." They made it to the small shop quickly.
Belle was easy she tried on a few things. "So which one do you think?" She held up three choices.

"Hmm? Oh..." Red was trying to enjoy this, but she kept thinking of Granny in the hospital. She knew Victor would take care of her, and he was more than likely getting an earful, but this was just so.... wrong. If Belle didn't win this.... she didn't want to think about it.
"Oh, that one, definitely that one," She pointed to the formal looking blue one, she did her best to smile," Alright, are we good here?"

"Okay I'll change and we can head over to Town Hall." Belle told her coming out in moments dressed and ready.
"Alright lets go." She grabbed her purse with the speech in it as they left the store.

They arrived at town hall- and already it was packed with people, all chatting and looking over various peoples campaigns. Red couldn't help but look for 'Prince John' amongst the crowd, he had to be here....
Belle caught her attention again however when she pulled her aside.

"There's so many people here and I didn't know anyone would be competing with me. I've heard nothing but bad things about him." She pulled out her speech.
"I hope I can do this."

"Bad things? Oh well that's awfully one sided sounding," John walked up behold the two ladies with a professional looking smile," Ms Lucas, I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother...."
Red looked absolutely livid, but didn't say a word, he hen turned to Belle and extended a hand," Good luck in the elections Ms French"

"Oh you to." She remained calm and professional Belle was good at that she had been in the war room when her kingdom was under attack she could do this.
30 years locked away might have hindered her into being more secluded but she was still a former Princess and Belle hated bullies.
If she could stand up to the dark one with no fear enough to know him better then anyone enough to see past his faults... to love him. She could beat a self entitled Prince at a mire election.
"May the best person for the job win." Belle was going to win there was no other option. She made her way to the podium.
She was introduced.
"My fellow citizens of Storybrooke, I come to you not as a mayor tonight but as someone you can come to with your problems. I will promise to be fair and understanding. I wish to create a safe place for you to raise your families. I ask not to be your leader only to guide you. For far to long we have been under rule of people who will bend your needs to fit their own desires. I wish only to keep your best interests in mind. I wish to help you in rebuilding the lives we now must face here in this new world.
I wish to make it easy for us to be in this world for us to make it a home."
Belle went on about spells of protection how no one would hurt them. She talked about things she knew people would care about. She finished people cheered and she felt she did well.

Red sent Prince John a smirk from the other side of the room, but he seemed unfazed. It was a little discomforting.... but mostly it annoyed the living hell out of her. She wanted him to squirm and know he's losing......
But he just sat quietly and waited as the next candidate took the pedestal.

Admittedly Belles speech was very good, she was obviously prepared and she looked lovely in that little dress of hers. However it was only a matter of time, it was only a shame he hadn't been able to keep the wolf away.
