Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed my last fic. It took hours to make (sarcasm).

This is an AU in that the family history of the Butterflies are slightly different. Changed the relationship of their ancestors so that it fits the story.

Here's the actual story as promised :D

Moon Butterfly walked the royal garden, wearing her royal blue dress and wielding the wand in her hand. She looked almost identical to her future daughter with the exception of her blue hair and diamond markings on her cheeks. But unlike Star, she was strict, responsible, and level-headed. She was becoming old enough to marry a suitor and become the official queen of Mewni, and Moon understood the responsibility that came with ruling an entire dimension. That being said, she made sure that whomever she married had the utmost sincerity and responsibility.

None of them did.

All she saw from them was their selfishness and desire for power. She wasn't going to let them get anywhere near the throne, let alone the wand. And the one she just finished meeting with was no different. She stopped in front of the flower beds and sighed. How can she be queen if she can't find a trustworthy companion?

"Oh?" Moon heard a familiar voice. "Well this is new."

She turned around and bowed to the approaching person. "Hello father."

King Nebula stood in front of her, wearing a clean, blue royal suit with gold trimmings. He gave his daughter a smile. "It's a pleasant surprise to see you wander the gardens. You're usually cooped up in your study room!"

Moon nodded. "Well… I thought I should get some fresh air."

"Fresh air, you say?" the king rubbed his chin, thinking to himself. "That's unusual. What's wrong my dear?"

"I don't recall saying anything was wrong."

"Please, Moon. You're my daughter. I know when something is troubling you."

Moon looked up to her father before sighing, turning back to the flower bed. "I met with a suitor."

"Another one? Was this person any different than the rest?"

"No. Just another ignorant fool looking for the throne," she said, kicking a nearby rock. "This one didn't even bother to hide it. They were raised in a royal family, weren't they? They understand their responsibilities, yes? I assume their parents raised them to act like actual Mewmans with common sense. Can't they at least pretend to act civil? There's barely a modicum of decency in them!"

Her father didn't say much. He knew when Moon would to listen to advice and when to let her rant. But listening to her speak, Nebula couldn't help but smile at how mature his daughter was becoming.

"And they think it's so easy to defend the wand! The recklessness of those suitors! There are many angles to consider when being the ruler of Mewni! You don't simply think of yourself! You have the responsibility to lead and care for this dimension! Yet these visitors don't understand any of that!"

"Now, Moon, have you considered that perhaps you're being a bit too cautious on this matter?" Nebula placed a hand on her shoulder. "That's not to say that you should simply give the wand and your life away to just any person, but maybe you've set your standards unreachable to anyone…"

Moon turned around facing her father once more. "My standards are not too high. If anything, it's far too low. This is the most powerful magical artefact in the universe, and they think it's as simple as locking up gold in a vault. There are extreme precautions to be made. Training to be done! They can't be so reckless and irresponsible. Not like mother," she said with immense disdain.

The king frowned at her comment. "Now dear, your mother was a fine protector of the wand."

"She left us. She left you! She left Mewni for some monster. She disregarded her duties as queen and ran off to who knows where because of her disgusting love for such a creature! If grandmother Solaria didn't spend so much time fighting and being around monsters, mother wouldn't have joined her, she wouldn't have spent time around them, and she wouldn't have fallen in love with one. It's because of both their reckless behaviors that she left us. And you're the one left to burden everything. She should be here to do her duties as queen..."

Nebula sighed. "Yes… Your mother Eclipsa did do that. That can't be changed. But she performed her duty to defend the wand. Plus, she brought you into this world. I think that counts for something, don't you think?"

Moon turned away. "I… suppose…"

"Good. Try not to think too much on it, dear..." The king kissed the top of her head. Moon wasn't one for physical expressions of affection, but she didn't reject it. It was comforting every once in awhile. The princess listened as Nebula's footsteps became softer. "Oh, and Moon?"

"Yes, father?"

"There is a visitor coming by tonight. We are to greet him."

Moon sighed. "Another suitor?"

"No… It's a monster."

She turned around, unsure if she heard him correctly. "A… monster?"

A little explanation as to why Moon Butterfly is so strict.
