A/N: As you read this, the topic is kind of serious. It was tough for me to write something so real and different, thus I was stressed throughout the whole writing process of this piece. I had no problem writing the previous chapters mostly because they were light and humorous. However, I hope you still like this nonetheless. Please read and review! Thanks!

"We . . . Have a problem, Haruka . . ." Serena stated one morning. It was only a few days ago when reality came crashing down on them and reality decided to do that once again for the married happy couple.

"What is it, Serena?" the sandy blonde looked up from her taxes. The moon princess, quickly pulled out a chair at the dining table and sat down in front of the wind senshi,

"You know how we agreed for me to marry Mamo-chan?"

"I rather not think about that, but go ahead. What about it?" Haruka placed her pen down, awaiting for the bad news that was evident in her koneko's voice.

"Polygamy isn't legal here in Japan."

Haruka had to take a moment to absorb that. It was definately a problem. Haruka coughed, her full attention on her koneko-chan and the now arising problem,

"So, what should we do?"

"I'm not sure. It all came so suddenly and too fast. But since a marriage between a man and a woman are legal and is not looked down upon, maybe it would be best if we divorced and you'll be my mistress," Serena said. Haruka had to furrow her brows at what Serena was saying. She had her moon princess first, so why was she giving up so much for a man that didn't treat her right in the first place?

"I'll . . . Have to think about it, Serena. For now, let's tell Asuka about it so she can stay with me for the time being while you get matters done with Chiba-kun," Haruka stated. She knew she was stalling for time, but at least it gave her 24 hours to settle her thoughts.

"Why are we at an amusement park, Mommy? Mother?" Asuka wondered as she looked up at her adoptive parents.

"We're here to have fun," Serena laughed nervously. Asuka was pretty sure that there was something amiss between her parents, but she'd have to ask later. Fun came first.

"Okay, so where do we go first?"

The fair was a place to let all the worries go, but Serena and Haruka had a weight on their shoulders that caused them to hold back on the feelings that they desperately wanted to let out.

The three of them rode Teacups, Swing Rides, Rollercoasters, ate carnival food, cotton candy, winning stuffed toys and going to the petting zoo. The last stop for the day was the Ferris Wheel. It was private there. It was the perfect place to talk.

Haruka, Serena and Asuka got on board one of the compartments of the Ferris Wheel. There was silence in the first minute and a half, before Haruka turned serious and faced her daughter,

"Asuka, there is something that me and Serena have to discuss with you."

Asuka just sighed, her hands gripped in her lap, "I knew there was something wrong the moment you suggested to take a little break even though the recession is still going on."

"You were always a smart child, Asuka. Even as you grew up, you never once let anything get past you, whether it was good or bad," Haruka chuckled.

"And by your tenseness, I'm assuming to hear some bad news," Asuka sighed again. She looked up and smiled wearily at her parents, "Go ahead, I'm ready for you to lay it on me."

"Remember, you can say whatever that's on your mind. Don't feel bad if you oppose us or never want to talk to us again. Just know, that this is also hard on me and as well as Haruka," Serena whispered.

"Come on, you're playing the guilt trip now even before I hear what's up? You know better than that, Mommy," Asuka chuckled, but nervousness nagged at her. She was afraid of what's going to be said. She didn't want to lose the comfort zone that she had been in for almost her life. She didn't want things to change from where they were right now.

"There is no easy way to tell this to you, so I'm going to be blunt. We're planning on divorcing."

"But, why? As far as I can see, you two are the most happiest married couple I've ever encountered," Asuka pouted.

"There are things that we are not ready to discuss with you, but right now, all we can say is that this has to happen in order to prevent distortion of the future," Haruka explained.

"So, you're basing our present situation on a future that we can't see?" Asuka argued.

"In a way, yes," Haruka nodded.

"If you guys divorce, then what happens next?" Asuka wondered. She had to know what they will gain out of this.

"Then, Serena will marry Chiba-kun," Haruka answered. Asuka sat in stunned silence,

"Chiba, Mamoru? Mom's ex-boyfriend?"

"Yes, Mamo-chan," Serena finally spoke up.

"So, you're saying that you're having feelings for him again, Mom?" Asuka was tearing up and her parents were saying weird things, "This has to be a dream. . ."

"Asuka . . ." both Serena and Haruka were strickened with pain for their daughter who looked so torn and confused.

"Do you have feelings for him?" Asuka glared through tears.

"I do."
