They had just turned into the parking lot and we're getting their instructions by the professors that came along with them.

They got off the bus and walked into the Center. Everyone looked around in awe. Riri should have known the building would be nothing but spectacular.

Just coming through the entrance, there were white marble floors with a metallic black reception desk sitting in the middle. On the roof was a crystal chandelier. There were plants so green, they looked fake.

Just like in Shuri's lab, people were walking around different jobs.

"The Queen will be with you all shortly," The receptionist told the professors.

MJ started jumping up and down. "Did you hear that, we're gonna get to meet the Queen!"

Riri just let out a soft laugh. 'If only she knew...'

She hadn't told anyone about her trip to Wakanda besides her family. One day she would tell MJ but not today.

She was calm on the outside but on the inside, she was jumping up and down just like MJ.

They had been waiting for a good five minutes before two Dora Milaje came from around a corner.

'Okoye and Ayo, of course' Riri just looked at the two. Ayo sent a smile her way while Okoye's face held a sly smirk. They didn't have their normal uniform on or their spear but instead, they wore a black blazer, black pants, and black heels. From the looks of it, Okoye even seemed to have on the right shade of makeup.

"The Queen is waiting for you all. Follow me and don't touch anything," Okoye said sternly. Riri, of course, did as she said knowing what the woman was capable of.

The group walked back into an auditorium and they saw a stage and chairs. Somehow MJ managed to pull her and Riri up to the front. Okoye and Ayo stood next to Riri. It seemed like Shuri was going to take her precious time coming out so she just got on her while she waited.

"Primitive," Okoye murmured. Okoye just rolled her eyes playfully.

Little did Riri know, Shuri was backstage freaking out with Aneka trying to calm her down.

"Aneka, she's sitting in the front!" Shuri yelled out.

Aneka sighed. Shuri had been like this for the whole week but today it seemed like it just went up higher than it already was. She spent two hours just looking for an outfit until Aneka came in and picked for her. She even added her grills to the outfit. Luckily Shuri approved of it because if she didn't, two would have turned into three.
