How a coup d'etat would take place in a matriarchal society

The Fall of a Queen



Queen Becklikelikea of the OMG clan(we'll call her Becky for short) hand been queen of Mallamoneya for two years. She had been the sister of TotsarahAlly of the Tightjean clan who had moved on to the Second World of Knowledge and left her sister in her place. Queen Becky was a tyrant. Besides the Clique Council, who were the army of Queen Becky, everyone under her rule suffered from constant back stabbing and crippling backhanded compliments. As she progressed in her reign, she became worse and worse.



The goddess Gina of the Nurturing Mother clan decided something must be done. In what would be Becky's final year of power, Gina gave her a disease call Senioritis. This disease clouded her mind and made her feel invincible, opening her to weakness. The sickness spread like a miniature plague and soon the entire Clique Council had contracted Senioritis. Their vision also became clouded. The oppressed people of Mallamoneya were told by Gina about Queen Becky's weakness and gave them a plan to defeat the evil queen. Gina told the people that she would give one of them the power to become truly trusted by Queen Becky, and when the the time of the Great Dance came, the chosen one would be able to strike the Queen and overthrow her and her followers.



The oppressor had ruled with the Sword of the Crossed Fingers. This weapon gave her the power to give her word to a person, break the promise and not feel guilty about it. However, sword was only as powerful as the owner, and in her unknown weakened state, she was no longer fit to have this weapon as her only defense. Warrior Stacy of the Brace Face clan was given a gift by Gina, and was removed of her metal mouth. Stacy's bulky heap of brackets and screws replaced with lip stick and eyeshadow, and her beauty exceeded that of any in the Clique Council. Stacy's beauty caught Queen Becky's eye. In previous times, the evil overlord would have used her Sword of the Crossed Fingers to create a false friendship only to destroy the spirit of her enemy. However, in her clouded state, Queen Becky appointed the Warrior Stacy as her new best female fighter (BFF).



Months passed, and soon Queen Becky was adhering to all of the advice of Stacy, just as Gina had foretold. The month before the Great Dance, Stacy was asked by the Queen to be the seamstress for her dress for the dance. Stacy was known throughout Mallamoneya and being a master of the needle. She was also quite clever. Stacy told the Queen that once the measurements were taken that she would not be allowed to look at the dress till the night of the Great Dance. In her ignorance, Queen Becky trusted Stacy's word, and did not place her gaze on the dress until the night of the Great Dance. As the days passed, Stacy worked on the dress. It was truly stunning. However, the dress had a dye placed in it to where it would turn the skin of who ever wore it the color of purple. When the day of the Great Dance came, Stacy presented the dress to the Queen. Once again blinded by arrogance, the Queen was ecstatic and quickly put on the dress. As the first song played, and Becky danced with her prince, her skin turned to the royal color she always thought she was. When she realized what had happened, she left the Dance in shame, and when word came around of what Stacy had done, she was appointed Dance Queen.
