chapter 10

In Earth orbit

(Earth pov)

*I woke up and noticed that Luna was holding me and our little angel*

–Luna wake up, I need to go make breakfast

Luna: What's going on, brother

–I need to prepare breakfast. Can you watch over our little angel

Luna: Sure, should I wake her up

–no need she's probably going to wake up soon

Luna: Okay, you can go. I'll take care of her

*I leave Luna and Sunny to prepare breakfast*

(Sunny pov)

*I wake up and see Luna holding me*

–morning Luna

Luna: Good morning. Did you sleep well

*I nod my head in agreement and stretch my arms*

Luna: Earth is making breakfast right now

–okay, I was getting hungry anyway, so I will just wait until he's done

*I look into the asteroid belt and notice Iris*

Luna: Is something wrong

–I'm fine, I just thought I saw someone in the asteroid belt

Luna: Oh, it was probably just Ceres. There is no need to worry

–right I mean Ceres isn't super dangerous. Yes, he does throw asteroids at people sometimes, but it's probably because he's scared of them

Luna: Exactly, so as long as you don't look intimidating, he shouldn't attack you

Earth: Breakfast is ready

–Good timing. I'm hungry

*we all eat breakfast while talking*

Earth: So what were you guys planning to do today

Luna: I'm going to hang out with Titan

–I'm probably going to look for Ceres because it's not the first time I see or feel like someone is watching me from the asteroid belt

Earth: Maybe he's just curious

–well I'm going to ask him myself because it's kinda creepy

Earth: Be careful, though

–of course, I'll be careful

*we finish eating breakfast, Luna and I leave*

In the asteroid belt

–Iris are you here

Iris: Over here earthling

–sorry for not coming to see you guys, but Earth forbid me from going to the kuiper belt

Iris: So that would explain why you didn't come back

–yeah, but I don't know how we can all see each other without any risk of being seen

Iris: Can you still go in Neptune orbit

–yeah, I can still go there

Iris: Maybe we could meet up there instead of the kuiper belt

–but the other planets could see you there, don't you think

Iris: There's a slight chance that they notice us so we won't stay there for too long

–I'm fine with it if the others are okay with it. Of course

Iris: I'm sure they won't mind. Meet us tomorrow in Neptune orbit

–okay, I'll see you guys tomorrow.

*Iris leaves, and I have the feeling that someone is watching me, so I look around and notice Ceres looking at me*

–oh hi Ceres, I didn't notice you were there

*Ceres simply look at me silently*

–are you going to say something or not

*Awkward silence*

–I'm going to leave if you don't have anything to say

*I was going to leave, but Ceres pulled me with his gravity*

– what do you want, I shouldn't stay here for too long

*Ceres simply holds me in his arms and falls asleep*

💭: what's wrong with him? Should I call someone to get me away. I shouldn't stay here for too long, or Earth is going to be worried

*I try to free myself, but Ceres hold me tightly*

💭: I'm going to need someone to help me. Mars is the closest to my position, so I should be able to communicate by mind

*I focus on my connection with Mars to alert him*
