The Emoji Movie 2

The nomination

A long day at work, the emojis did a pretty good job making faces in their cubes, and were scanned when Alex picked them to his text. When Alex didn't use his phone for a while, Jailbreak placed the microphone of her headset near her mouth, and announced. "Alright, emojis, listen up! We all done a great job today, but now, it's time to nominate who will become the new supervisor of the Text Center!"

The emojis muttered excitingly, agreeing to have a new supervisor since Smiler got kicked out. Gene, on the other hand, was also excited yet uncomfortable for this. He knew that everybody will vote him if he got nominate. Not only he never dreamt of this, but he felt embarrassed of himself. He has to make it quick.

"The nomination for supervisor is now open!" Jailbreak announced more. "So, who wants someone to be nominated?"

An angel emoji raised her hand. "I nominate Steven!" She pointed the devil emoji , who was blushing in embarrassment.

"Alright, Steven..." the princess wrote the devil emoji's name on the paper of a clipboard. "Who else?"

Then, an ice cream emoji raised his hand. "I nominate Poop!"

"Then, Poop it is!" Jaibreak wrote Poop's name on the list.

"Alright Dad!" Poop's son cheered for his father.

"Are there more?"

Hi-5 raised himself or raised his fingers upward. "I nominate Gene!"

The emojis gasped in delight, even his parents. Gene glared at Hi-5 for nominating him as the hand emoji grinned sheepishly. Gene wanted to deny for being nominated, but he still had to finish one last thing for the nomination.

"Okay, Gene is nominated!" Jailbreak said, writing Gene's name in the list. "Alright, who else wants a turn?"

"I close the nomination! Ha, ha!" The Face with Tears of Joy emoji laughed, which means 'said'

When he heard that call, Gene quickly raised his hand and exclaimed. "Wait!"

The emojis were surprised as they stared at Gene, wondering what he would have to say.

"Uh..., yes, Gene?" Jailbreak didn't expect Gene raising his hand like that because he was nominated.

Gene cleared his throat, and stepped a little forward on the edge of his cube. "I want to say just one thing... I nominate..." He took a deep breath, then exhaled, and pointed the emoji in the cube next to him. "My dad!"

Everyone gasped in horror, even Mel and Mary. They didn't know what Gene was thinking. He nominated his dad? Even he was nominated? Everyone whispered about the same topic. Gene ignored the whispers as he accepted his final decision.

"Gene, what are you doing?" Mel asked.

"I know what I'm doing, dad." Gene replied as he faced forward proudly.

Even Jailbreak didn't believe it, but she has to respect that as she wrote Mel's name on the list. "Uh..., Mel Meh, it is."

"I close the nomination!" Gene quickly said before anybody nominated someone.

"I second the motion." Mary raised her arm, supporting her son.

"The nomination is now officially closed!" Jailbreak announced. "Okay everyone, the election is within few days, and remember, vote wisely. The emoji who has most number of votes should be the winner as the new supervisor of Text Center! We'll see you all tomorrow for work again." After giving the emojis her announcement, she saw Gene walked out of his cube happily. Then, she turned to his parents in their cubes, who were also confused why Gene nominated his dad for being the new supervisor. Jailbreak has the same thought with Gene's parents about his decision.
