I asked for their stories and this is what they told me. I can't guarantee they're the truth, you will have to ask Takeuchi Naoko, to whom they belong to.
Finding answers
"Why is the sky blue?"
Yoko paused in fright as her teal haired daughter asked yet another question.
"Why is the water blue? " Michiru gazed earnestly up at the person she was sure had all the answers. "Is it because the sky is blue?"
Yoko met those earnest eyes and felt a sweat start to form on the back of her neck. Physics. Her little girl asked a question about physics and expected a real answers. Michiru had just recently past the age where cop-out answers wouldn't satisfy her. 'Not that I really liked giving her those, but sometimes they were cute and fun.'
It had started last week when she asked how paint was made. Yoko tried to explain that it was made by fairies in a small glade near the woods. Michiru frowned and pointed out that there was too much paint in the world to be made by fairies. So, Yoko sat down on the floor and explained the ins and outs of making the different types of paints. What scared her was that Michiru soaked it up like a sponge. All the rest of the week, she had been asked all sorts of questions. All of which were in her realm of knowledge. This one was different.
"It has to do with light waves. I don't know the rest." She watched as the excitement faded in her daughter's face. "But we could look it up. That is what you do if you don't know." She tapped a finger on the up turned nose. "Of course, you ask me first. But if I don't know, then we have to do research."
"Research? Where do we do that?" The excitement was slowly leaking back into the little girl's face.
Yoko grabbed her purse and shooed Michiru out the door. "We go to the library since I know we don't have the right books here. So, shall we go find out what makes the sky and water blue?"
Michiru nodded enthusiastically before skipping down the road towards the library.
