Chapter 43: Queen Carrie's Coronation

(In the Wakko's Wish Universe.)

Today was Carrie's Coronation as well as Lauren's coronation as a princess. Carrie gets ready, putting her hair in a nice ponytail the best she could. "I-I can't believe that this is happening Lauren.. We're free.. And we're becoming royalty.. I don't know if I truly deserve this." Lauren hugged her mother. "Come on momma, there's no need to worry. The people really love you." Dot helps adjust Lauren's dress. "Of course. You helped us get to the star. You partially helped save my life, Carrie." Carrie looks at herself in the mirror. "Y-yeah. I guess you're right... I am fit for this. I will be the one with Yakko to fix this town back to it's former glory."

"Alright, come on, let's get going." Dot opens the door for them both and the two soon-to-be royals walk out the door and through the halls. Carrie watches as the knights salute her and Lauren. She let's out a little smile as she held onto her daughters hand. The main castle doors open and the cavalry men crossed their swords to make a path for them both. The path led to the carriage that will take them to the cathedral where Yakko will coronate them. Carrie and Lauren walked through the path to the townsfolk cheering their names. The two get into the carriage and began waving to the crowd as the carriage began riding off to the cathedral. Carrie began to think back at how it all came to this.

(Flashback.)

Daniel came back from a long day's work at the farm to his wife Amelia, both of them were peasants. He had heard the news that his wife had just had their baby and was scrambling to get work done just to get back home. "Darling, I'm sorry i'm late. Work was a hassle and it was a long walk back here, and-" "ssh.. Dear, it's okay. I understand." She reassures him and then he gulped, asking the question that he was longing for. "Boy or Girl?" Amelia holds onto his hand. "Well, they did take her away to get cleaned, weighed, and what not."

The doctors came in and handed the new baby girl over to Amelia. "Meet your new daughter, Daniel." Amelia whispers softly, showing her sleeping face. Daniel immediately began to tear up at the sight. "She's perfect.." He held her tiny hand gently, stroking her head. "Have we decided on a name today?" The doctors asked them and Amelia nodded. "Yeah.. We want to name her Carrie." She looks down at their daughter and gave a kiss on her forehead. "I can already tell that Carrie is going to be capable of things we wouldn't believe."

(End.)

Carrie and Lauren both arrive at the cathedral and the doors open for them. They step out of the carriage and began walking down the aisle together, looking at the people that were there for them. Soon the two of them finally reach King Yakko and they curtseyed before them. "And now, let us have a moment of silence for a quiet prayer." He spoke to the crowd and everyone closed their eyes and looked down. After 60 seconds, they came up. "Thank you.." Yakko nodded his head and then he looked to the girls. "Carrie, come forward."

She goes up to King Yakko and looks at him straight in the eyes. "Do you wish to use your power as queen for good and not evil?" Carrie nodded at his question. "Of course, your majesty." "Do you promise to protect the people in the threat of danger that can lie ahead?" Yakko asked her again and she agreed. "Always your majesty." "And do you swear on your life to be truthful to those in need?" Carrie nodded once more as she lowers her head, and Yakko places the crown on her head. He then handed her the scepter and orb as she faced the crowd in front of her. "Ladies and gentlemen, Queen Carrie of Warnerstock." They repeat it back and she sets down the scepter and orb, before motioning her daughter to come foward. "Lauren, step forward."

Lauren comes forward to Yakko and Carrie and she knelt before them. "Lauren, do you promise as a princess that you will aid in protecting the people from danger?" Carrie asked her and Lauren nodded. "Yes, your highness." Yakko smiles and he got out her princess tiara. "Lauren, do you swear that you'll use your power as a princess for good and not evil?" Carrie asked her again and Lauren nodded again. "Yes, your highness." "And do you promise to be truthful to the people in need?" Carrie looks at her and she nodded once more, lowering her head. Yakko places the tiara on her head and she faces the crowd. "Everyone, I give onto you Princess Lauren of Warnerstock!" The three of them sit on the thrones. Carrie looks on at the crowd, feeling happy that she finally was given a chance.
