All parents have something they wished they could change about their child. Even the most perfect of children have their flaws.
This is not different with the children of the third generation.
Queen Lady Marina of Mercury, for example, wishes her daughter Ami would quit being serious and submissive. She fears that it will result in her child being alone for the rest of her life. Her husband Apollo tells her not to worry, but how can she not?
King Lord Ares of Mars worries about his child's sharp tongue. Rei is extremely sarcastic and is often hard to get to know. If she hadn't grown up with the members of her court, he has little doubt she would not have a bond with any of them.
King Lord Zeus feels that his little girl is perfect. His wife, Hera, however, disagrees. She wishes Makoto would be more girly, not the tomboy she is. She blames part of that on Haruka of Uranus, who is more tomboyish than her own daughter.
King Lord Cronos wished his daughter would relax and not worry over what was to come for their Kingdom. As Setsuna grew older, she began to stress over the end of the Silver Millennium. He wished he could tell her it would all be alright. Sometimes he hated having to be the rule setter.
But those were little things. Those Kings and Queen were worried about their child's personality. There problems were nothing like their peers.
Take Queen Lady Demeter, for example. She and her daughter Haruka were having a repeat relationship like Demeter and her own mother. It all started when Haruka was 12 and she chopped off her hair like Endymion's because it 'made her cooler(the summer was scorching).' Then, when she was 14, their current argument was about her hatred for 'fluffy' and 'sparkly' dresses.
Their current argument was much worse.
"Haruka, are you going to visit her again?" Demeter gasped, reaching after her child. As soon as she grabbed her arm, Haruka ripped it away from her grasp, scowling at her mother.
"So what if I am?" The now 18 year old spat out angrily. Demeter frowned, reaching for Haruka again.
"Haruka, stop this silly behavior at once. You both have thrones that will need heirs -"
"God, Mom, I've told you a thousand times! I don't care about that. I love Michi and you can't stop us from being together." Haruka said before running to the end of the corridor and out of the castle. As the doors slammed shut, Demeter flinched, paling as well. Pressing a shaking hand to her pounding head, the Queen stumbled into her nearby sitting room. As she sat down on the couch, tears streamed down her face.
How in the world did she get into this mess?
Haruka had recently came out to her family…with Princess Michiru of Neptune as her lover. Michiru's parents didn't seem to care about this. In fact, Triton was thrilled. Haruka's father, Prospero, thought that it was fine as well.
They didn't understand why Demeter had a problem with it.
"Dem?" The Queen looked up to find her husband. Prospero was stranding in the doorway, his concern evident. She looked away.
"Why am I destined not to get grandchildren?" She whispered. Her husband sat down next to her, his warm hands gently rubbing her back.
As Queen Demeter grew upset with the relationship she had with her daughter, a different Queen was expressing similar distress.
"Sele, why are we following our little bunny?" Lun whispered into his wife's ear as they snuck after Princess Serenity.
"Shh. You'll see." Selene replied. So far they had followed the Princess to her private gardens, both frowned when they spotted a man dressed in dark armor sitting on her bench.
"Endymion?" Lun gasped out. Selene quickly covered his mouth, her own blue eyes wide. They watched in horror as their daughter kissed the Eartinian heir. Despite Selene guessing this, it still horrified her to find out her child really was messing around with a betrothed man. Together, they quickly backed out of her gardens.
"What do we do?" Lun asked once they were in the safety of their room. Selene shook her head, too surprised to answer.
While the Queen was too shocked to react to this discovery, she couldn't deny the sense of foreboding swirling in her stomach.
And as Queen Selene viewed the beginning of her daughter's destiny, Queen Aphrodite was soothing her own child's.
Currently, the Queen and her daughter were curled up together in Minako's bed. Minako was spilling her secrets about her fellow court members to her mother: Serenity's trysts with Endymion and Haruka and Michiru's relationship.
"It feels like we're being torn apart from the inside, Momma. I'm scared." Minako whispered. Aphrodite murmured soothing words of comfort to her distraught daughter, gently rubbing her back. As Minako's warm tears wet her shoulder, Aphrodite looked out at the stars helplessly.
Little did these Kings and Queens realize how much their future would change.
