hunt youma. Yes, that's it. Coming Jupiter?"})

Two reasons, I think.  One is that they knew that was what happened :)
The other reason being that you can't make a Queen in a palace, as the
expression goes.  The desire to expose Chibi to a life beyond that of
pampered rug rat in a perfect time, so that she could see what things had
been like before that.  (Similar also in some ways to the way you sent
away your children to be pages and squires with someone else who won't
have as hard a time as you being hard on them :))

     The Moon Hill Gymnasium was crowded with students, most from Moon 
Hill, but some from other schools.  The special committee to pick the 
theme for the first spring dance had argued for weeks over a theme.  Many 
ideas had been suggested:  Love--American Style, Spring Sock Hop, Can't 
Stop Doing the Monkey, The Black Plague, Enchantment under the Sea, Zinc 
Oxide and You, Space Viking Vixen Women from Venus, The Progressive Era, 
and The First Spring Dance.  After extensive argument, the sole remaining 
conscious committee member had selected the theme "Our Gym Covered in 
Crepe Paper."
