That evening in Ino's room, she was listening to music while doing her homework when her phone rang.
"Hi mom," said Ino while answering and turning the music off at the same time.
"Hi sweetheart, how was your day?" asked Juliet.
"Alright, but I did miss my morning class because of my broken clock," said Ino while looking over at her trash can which had a small clock in it that had a broken top to it, allowing wires and other components out of it.
"Do you need a new one sent to you?" asked Juliet.
"No, I plan to go shopping in town tomorrow so I'll get one while I'm out there," said Ino as she stretched her back.
"Okay, but be careful," said Juliet.
"I know mom, people could use me to get to you and dad so I have to always keep my eyes out," said Ino.
"That's why I went through all the training growing up," she said.
"Sorry, we just worry about you," said Juliet.
"It's not like I'm mad, all that training will also let me protect Maggie if anything were to happen so how could I be?" asked Ino.
"And how are things going there for you?" asked Juliet.
"Good, we have plans for after my shopping tomorrow to watch some movies in her room for the evening," said Ino.
"Still hard to believe that you two have been dating for two years now," said Juliet.
"Many in West are against it though, and not because of who I am," said Ino.
"No, they don't like that the only heir to the throne is dating another girl," said Juliet after a sigh.
"People really need to learn that change is alright and to get over themselves," said Ino.
"I agree," said Juliet.
"Sorry to cut the conversation here mom, but I have some homework to finish so talk again later?" asked Ino as she looked back at her books on the desk.
"Alright, I'll tell your dad that you said hi," said Juliet.
"Thanks," said Ino before hanging up.
