Theodora looked at the offical who would be taking her to the carnival. Helena and Sophia were busy with burdens. Theodora was a young girl but what would happen would change things.

''This carnival, how fun do you think it will be?'' Theodora asked Zuberi Jumaane, the offical and/or driver. Theodora wore a dress, she wore dresses sometimes.

As they drove, they did interact, Zuberi and Theodora but no one would know what was to occur soon.

''Thank you for taking me to the carnival.'' Theodora said.

((OOC: O rly?!))

The Bentley Arnage RL amored limousine left the courtyard of the Imperial Palace in Super City, destination; the carnival at Emerald Park downtown.

It was a beautiful day with no cloud in sight, a modest 70°F. The streets were filled with people enjoying the weather, shopping, walking around laughing. Moments after leaving the courtyard, they toook a stop at the first intersection, and several Maraqueans walking by noticed the Bentley as a Maraquean official automobile.

"Who is it? Is it the Emperor?!" shouted one citizen. Dozens ran towards the vehicle, peering in through the window, looking at Theodora. "It's Theodora!" said one happy little girl. Theodora was her rolemodel.

"Maybe you should greet them, Theodora." Said Zuberi, her driver, and opened her window to greet the little girl who looked so happy to see Theodora who she adored so much...

Theodora smiled and waved at the happy little girl. ''Hello!'' Theodora shouted kindly, waving to the girl. Theodora smiled, she liked living in Maraque, people were friendly.

Finally, when the crowds were out of sight, Theodora smiled and went back to her seat. ''Those people were happy to see us, that girl I waved at was very happy.'' Theodora said.

As they drove, Theodora said ''Do you work for the Emperor of Maraque, Mr. Jumaane?''

Theodora was a nice young girl, related to Helena, former wife of Empress Siv.

"I'm glad you weren't alarmed. Sometimes they can be frightening." Said Zuberi.

"As for your question; yes I work for his excellency, Emperor Stephen and family. I've been friends with his excellency since we were young, back in Liberia. He gave me this job as a thank-you for being there for him during his rise to power.

"You handled that situation back there nicely. I remember when Siv was young, and that happened, she cried." Said Zuberi.

''They could be, if they come at you like bees.'' Theodora said.

''Its nice you helped the Emperor out. I like him, we do things together like ride horses together. I thank you for driving me to the carnival.'' Theodora stated.

''She cried? Was there too many people?'' Theodora asked.

As they drove, they continued to talk and stuff.

"She was very young and new to being considered royalty, and over three dozen people stormed the car, looking at her, taking pictures. She was so terrified."

Then suddenly something happened, Zuberi stopped the car very quick because the van in front of him stopped hard. But it was too late, in the middle of the intersection just a few blocks from the Imperial Palace the Bentley slammed into the back of the vehicle, and then the car behind them slammed straight into the Bentley, because the man driving was on his cellular and not paying attention.

Just when things couldn't get any worse, a vehicle from the left that ran the red light hit the side of the Bentley that Theodora and Zuberi were on. The airbags didn't deploy, and Theodora flew out of the window on the right side of the vehicle, bleeding heavily from the head on the sidewalk, dead.

Theodora, a relative of Helena and Sophia, laid dead on the ground, her soul in the Next Life.

Helena was at Sophia's new residence, the Emperor's old home. They were husy with burdens. As they were checking up on notes, a phone call rang. Sophia took it and she listened to a man say:

''Theodora is in the hospital, please come now.''

Sophia hang up and looked to Helena. ''Theodora..is in the hospital.'' Helena was amazed and together they went to the hospital.

When they got there, they found Theodora's room. Theodora was covered up, in her hospital bed while Helena and Sophia checked on Theodora.

''What happened?''

Helena and Sophia looked at Theodora as they tried to think of what happened, the news of her death would hurt them.

And so, what happens now?....

"Your Highness..." said Zuberi, looking very sad.

"Your Highness, I'm so terribly sorry. I never knew this would happen.. I can't believe what I have to say, but... but... Theodora is dead." Zuberi said, starting to sob with tears filling his eyes.

"We were wedged between two cars, there wasn't anything I could do..."

Just then Emperor Stephen, King Keiffer (Stephens husband), Siv, Deric, and Jovan walked into the hall.

"What happened?" Siv said to Zuberi, noticing his tears. "Is Theodora all right?" Dimitri, who had just walked in after Jovan.

Zuberi cried some more, sitting down, looking at Helena to tell them the news...

"Your Highness..." said Zuberi, looking very sad.

"Your Highness, I'm so terribly sorry. I never knew this would happen.. I can't believe what I have to say, but... but... Theodora is dead." Zuberi said, starting to sob with tears filling his eyes.

Zuberi cried some more, sitting down, looking at Helena to tell them the news...

Sophia was amazed, so was Helena. Helena began to cry. ''She is...dead?'' Helena said before crying more, Sophia did too. Helena looked at Siv and the others who came in.

''Siv...Theodora is...dead.'' Helena said, crying. Siv would embrace Helena to comfort her. Sophia also wept too. ''I can't believe she is gone.''

''I want to lay her to rest here in Maraque, Siv. Beside her mother.'' Helena asked nicely while trying to hold back more tears.

Sophia looked at Zuberi and then looked at Theodora again, weeping and mourning filled the room.

Dimitri went over to Sophia to comfort her. Dimitri cared about his girlfriend (Sophia) and knew she needed him now more so than ever before.

"Helena if there is anything you need hunny just ask, I'll make sure it gets to you." Said Emperor Stephen.

"Helena, Sophia, I'm so sorry. Your sister was such a good girl, but lets not dwell on the moment, because she is indeed in a good place, with her mother." Said Siv, tears in her eyes.

Jovan and Deric stood by the bed, looking at Theodora in complete shock.

The funeral would be in the coming days...

''Thank you Dimitri, you are a kind person.'' Sophia said, Dimitri embracing her.

''Thank you, Your Majesty.'' Helena said to Stephen nicely. Looking to Siv, Helena and Siv embraced and with tears. Helena replied: ''Thank you, Siv. She was a good girl indeed and I know she is in a good place, with her mother.''

Helena and Sophia continued to mourn Theodora's death. A young girl was now gone.

Five days had past since the horrific death of one of the most loved royals of the Maraquean empire. Billions of people across the Empire were still mourning the death of such an innocent and pretty girl who had a wonderful life ahead of her.

Zuberi, the lone surviver of the crash that killed not only Theodora, but the people in the Cadillac Escalade that hit them too, was sitting down with Helena and Sophia talking to them about the best way to go along with the funeral. They had ultimately decided on a public viewing, then a royal funeral ceremony afterwards.

Zuberi also took it upon himself to invite the girl Theodora had met that day to the funeral, to wish her one and only rolemodel a final goodbye. The girl was so distraught by the media reports of her death that she was very nervous to attend, but eventually decided to go.

Siv and her brothers Jovan and Deric were in the other room, talking with planners of the viewing and the ceremony, getting everything together for Helena and Sophia, so they could mourn in peace and quiet. The only thing Helena and Sophia were involved in was the choosing of the casket and the funeral home this would take place.

Tomorrow would be one of the saddest days ever. The buriel of a beloved girl.

Bump.

Helena and Sophia picked out a coffin for Theodora and they helped with the funeral. Representives from Imperial and Sapphic Lesbos would be attending, as well as some of Helena's family.

In a room, Helena asked Zuberi ''Zuberi, how will the area we will hold the ceremony hold more than a billion people? We'll need a good place to hold this ceremony.'' Helena wiped back a tear or two.

Meanwhile,
Sophia was in her guest room, looking at a Photo Album of pics of people like Helena's mothers, Helena, Sophia, others and of course Theodora. She heard a man come in. It was Dimitri.

The planning would soon be complete and this young girl would be laid to rest.

"Well there isn't a stadium in the whole empire that could accomodate that many people... but I have booked the 1,000,000 seat Superdome in midtown. We'll be able to fit an additional 500,000 on the stadium floor, and we'll place seating and cameras outside, that'll be able to handle a total of 500,000." said Zuberi.

"Hi Sophia, how are you doing?" Dimitri said, sitting down next to her.

"You know Sophia..." Dimitri began "I'm here for you if you need anything, anything at all. I love you and I know how you must feel." Dimitri said as he began to hold her closely.

"You know Sophia..." Dimitri began "I'm here for you if you need anything, anything at all. I love you and I know how you must feel." Dimitri said as he began to hold her closely.

''As long as we can hold them, it is good.'' Helena said. ''I believe some representives of Imperial and Sapphic Lesbos and possibly relatives will be attending the funeral ceremony.'' ''Zuberi, I thank you and the others for all you have done.''

''I am ok, Dimitri, I guess.'' Sophia said as she saw him come in.

''Thank you, Dimitri.'' Sophia said, holding onto Dimitri as she went through the Album. ''I'm just reading the Photo Album, I have many pictures. If you want, we can look together.'' Sophia gave Dimitri an embrace.

"It's no problem, your Highness. I'll go set up the security detail and arrange the seating for the Imperial families."Said Zuberi.

-----------

"Sure I'll look with you," said Dimitri, holding Sophia firmly leaning in against her intimately. "Your family is very beautiful." Dimitri said, commenting on the photos.

"It's no problem, your Highness. I'll go set up the security detail and arrange the seating for the Imperial families."Said Zuberi.

"Sure I'll look with you," said Dimitri, holding Sophia firmly leaning in against her intimately. "Your family is very beautiful." Dimitri said, commenting on the photos.

''Thank you Zuberi, you've been a great help to me and to us.'' Helena said. ''Perhaps you could show me what has been set up so far.''

''Thank you, Dimitri.'' Sophia said. ''Thank you, Dimitri, these are some of the pictures I have.'' Sophia said, pointing out a picture of Theodora. In that pic, Theodora was with her cat, who died some time earlier, before she herself did.

"Of course your Highness."

And with that, Zuberi escorted Helena through the hallway and into a bigger room that had papers and such laying around on a desk in the center of the room.

"Well you see here, this is the stadium. As you can see the casket will be placed in the center location and the royal family will be sat right behind here." Zuberi said, while pointing to a seating arrangement.

"As for the exterior, seating will be placed outside in the parking lot and food and beverages will be served. There will also be scores of big screen television sets to broadcast the happenings inside." Zuberi said.

"As for security, all roads leading to the Superdome within a ten mile radius will be closed off, and the Imperial Guard will be on high alert with snipers in places all around the area of the funeral and ceremony. The air space within a 100 mile radius will also be restricted, and all flights to Super City cancelled." Zuberi said, once more.

"Her cat looked like a lot of fun," said Dimitri, noticing him running around chasing his tail in the photo, trying to lighten the mood. "Do you want to go get something to eat?"
