The Royal Family
1992:
King Willem III and Queen Ophelia along with their trusted guards/servants, Albert and Annie were taking a plane to the Southern Island. A more modern, comfy life where younger people lived. The four planned on going to the sorta-new mall. It was built right after the war ended so the younger people could have something to do. It made everyone forget the horror that Captain Kraken and his crewmates put them through. It took 10 years for everything to go back normal in the universe of Sol. Ophelia and Willem promised themselves to interact with the community the have established. They eventually were pretty popular in the Sol universe as the cool, hip new fun rulers rather than the past family bloodline. Now that they were soon have their daughter who would be the future guardian of the Sol Emeralds. They entered into the sorta-new mall…
"I-I gotta go to the bathroom!" the Queen anxiously said.
"Didn't you just go?" Albert turned to her.
"20 minutes ago, honey, 20 minutes ago".
They all looked at each other for about a minute.
"Dang it! If no one's gonna help me. I'll do it myself!" she said while heading up the stairs, into the mall.
The mall was spunky, retro and very large at the time. There is about four floors in there and all the stores kept improving. Sadly now, this mall is now old. But back to the story.
"Excuse me young laddy, can you point to me where the restroom is at?" she asked a teenage koala boy.
He finished drinking his ice cream soda float and pointed straight ahead.
"Go straight ahead then turned left".
"Thank you kind young man!" she smiled while walking ahead.
The boy stopped and realized that he was actually talking to the Queen of Sol. he then saw his group of friends (all were female koala and one racoon) and immediately told them what happened.
"Must be nice" one koala shrugged off.
"Cool! You always get to the meet the celebrities Tyler" another said.
"What? I wish I could've meet her" the racoon teenage girl jumped.
"I know! I'mma find her and ask for her autograph. You guys wanna join me?" he offered.
"I will!" another teenage girl koala said.
"Me too!" the next two answered.
"Tyler, you know I will" the racoon said.
"I can't, I have a date with Andrew, the most popular guy in our school" the first female koala said. "Too bad. Well have fun with whatever your doing Tyler".
"Aww sorry you can't come with us. Well, enjoy your time off with Andrew" he smiled.
She simply frowned and turned, walking away from the group. The racoon girl noticed everything that was wrong.
"Tyler, I think she's jealous of you"
"No, I don't think so. Why?"
"Because she is trying to make you jealous. Talking about Andrew, knowing darn well you two don't get along and bragging that he's the most popular guy in school!".
"It's fine. Let's just try to find the Queen".
The group of five went to the restroom but couldn't find her and neither on the first floor. The group headed up at the second floor. Annie and Albert went to Sol Junction, a fashion mall while Ophelia and Willem went to The Empress' Dine.
"So, I've been noticing the mecha pirates have been quiet lately" Annie turned to Albert.
"It's a relief to be honest Annie. But I do see your valid point. It's been three years since we heard the news of any pirates" Albert agreed.
"They might be up to no good. Everyone in the household has been telling me to relax but I think we should be on guard."
Albert simply nodded.
In the restaurant, King Willem III and Queen Ophelia were inside chatting about the soon-to-be new addition to their bloodline. Ophelia wasn't too excited.
"What's wrong honey?" Willem asked.
"*Sign* I wish I could've told you earlier. I guess it is too late" she whispered.
"Aww Ophelia, cheer up! You can tell me anything. Don't look at me as the King of this universe but as your goofy trusting husband heh!" he smiled.
"Well," she looked up "everyone is saying that this child we're having is a miracle and will lead off into the next generation. But, I don't care. I don't care about "continuing my bloodline" Willem. We could accomplish more together without children than with. I never really had the intention to have kids. And plus, someone else in the family could've have been appointed as King and Queen.".
"I see, so you rather stay childless?"
"Yes, my dear but unfortunately, everybody including your "wonderful" mother bribed me into getting pregnant".
"No, Ophelia we let them pressure us. We let them win. We choose to agree to their terms and they got what they wanted. There is nothing we can do for now but settle into our kingdom and raise this child" Willem told.
"You're right. I-"
The group of teenages approched the King and Queen and politely asked for their autographs. They did so. After spending the whole day at this sort-new mall, the four group went to a special nursery called Stonefield Clinic. Very pricey but the technology was up-to-date. Later, at night Ophelia got a call from her father saying that Anastasia fell very ill to Cholemis Tuphia. A lung disease that damages the lungs, breathing nostrils and even in their heart. Once the disease spreads through it can weaken the bones and suffocate the heart. It was passed down to certain members of the family with similar genetics. Anastasia had it but didn't take this seriously only seeing it as a soft flu. A few doctor visits turned into monthly visits. She had to start taking very high medicine and wearing an oxygen mask. She wanted to see the baby so she decided to fly to Southern Island.
Three days later, the baby was born! It was a girl! She had short light and dark purple fur like her parents and had a red jewel on her forehead. Ophelia could tell right away she is qualified for the position as queen. But that didn't matter, the baby is here. But what do we name her? Snow? Edna? Maybe Ilana?
"Well there's Blazing heat auroring around her? How about Blaze? Blaze the cat?" Annie smiled.
It didn't catch Ophelia's interest at first until everyone around her was agreeing. It was different and it did catch everyone's attention. Might as well go with it. So here she was Blaze the cat was born in 1992 unknown date.
Everyone returned home safely, going back to normal business. Ophelia stayed home to care for the baby. She hated it. Although, Annie would help from time to time but she had her own family to take care of. Ophelia looked backed at this moment as boring and unproductive. She was the outdoorsy type not coping in a big mansion to care for a newborn infant. But one day something bad happens and I'll tell you;
"WHAT?! WHY DID YOU INVITE HER?" Ophelia yelled across the room to her husband.
"Because she is my mother. She wanted to come to this dinner with the rest of the family. It won't be too bad my love" he smiled.
"... Listen, we don't get along and you know that! If something happens it's all on you Willem" she warned him. All he did was a heavy sign.
It was 8 pm in their time. Willem's own family came over.
"It's great to see all you!" Annie warmly welcomed. "I brought you all your favorite dinner and desserts!".
Annie was passing the food down while the other servants brought in china glass plates and real silverware. Ophelia and Willem were checking to see how everyone was doing. The mother in law was not pleased obviously.
"Willem? This isn't the traditional family food me and your father made you" she expressed concern.
"But mother, this is our food-" he tried to explain.
"What? What is our food? You mean the royal family's? Ha! We're too low from them apparently!" she folded her arms. Awkward silence came in the room.
"Mother! What are you-"
"What do you mean you're too low for us huh?!" Ophelia raised her voice.
"Oh great! The Queen now wants to speak. You don't know our backlash".
"Yes, she doesn't know cause we want to move forward as a whole family. But YOU keep bringing it up" former king Alfred rose up from his seat.
"Because, I feel it's my right to reveal who was in the wrong. Who took the position even though it belong to our side-".
"Are you kidding me? Are you still envious that Edna took your throne? One, the women was appointed before you were even born and two SHE'S DEAD!. HOW CAN YOU BE MAD AT SOMEONE WHO IS DEAD?" Anastasia yelled.
"Honey, you need to calm down. You got an oxygen mask." she smiled evilly at Anastasia.
"*Gasp* you know, I really had respect for you but since you are so focused on harassing my baby girl and blaming our side even though YOU guys messed up. I no longer wish to associate with you".
"I don't care, your daughter isn't a real woman and neither is you or Edna. and that little baby should not enthrone the kingdom. My grandson should, my granddaughter should, HECK! What makes you all so special that neither I or my family can rule Sol?" she folded her arms.
"How dare you talk about my family! Maybe it wasn't cause they knew it could be placed in the hands of a self-centered narcissist?" Ophelia jumped in.
"Right? And your baby is going to enthrone the kingdom. Ha! Watch her fail miserably, you'll all fail miserably and the Koala community will have no choice but to run towards our side".
"...Get out" Willem softly spoke.
"What?" his mother looked up.
"GET OUT! YOU ARE NO LONGER WELCOME TO THIS HOUSEHOLD!" he shouted.
"What? How could you be doing this to your own mother Willem? I raised you, feed you, schooled you and this is how you repay me?".
"I don't care WE are a family but you are so caught up in the past that you are causing division. I cannot allow this toxic behavior to continue as KING of Sol. I may ask you to leave, mother" he stated.
Everyone was shocked, his own father got up from the table and left the house. His mother's "sadness" turned into rage.
"When your kingdom falls apart and you have nowhere to live, don't you dare! Come by my house. You're not my son anymore". She said as she left the house. All his siblings left early and thanked him for the meal.
"BAH! I'll be your new daddy" Alfred turned to a sad Willem.
"And I'll be your new mommy just, 10 times more nicer" Anastasia smiled.
