chapter 11

In the asteroid belt

(Sunny pov)

*I finally establish the connection between Mars and me*

💭🔗: Mars, can you hear me?

Mars💭🔗: Yes, I can hear you, but who exactly are you

💭🔗: the earthling, I kinda need your help with something. Can you come to my location real quick

Mars💭🔗: Sure, I'll be there quickly

*I stop the mind connection and wait for Mars to arrive*

Mars: I'm here, earthling. Let me guess, you need my help to free you from Ceres

–yeah I tried to do it myself, but he's holding me too tightly

Mars: All right, let me take care of it

*Mars removed Ceres arms around me, and I moved away from Ceres*

–thanks for your help, Mars

Mars: No problem, earthling

*Ceres wake up and look upset*

–is upset because I'm not in his arms or because he's still sleepy

Mars: I'm not sure, but we should leave him alone

*Ceres approach carefully Mars and hugged him*

–aww he just wanted to hold someone

Mars: I wasn't expecting that, but it's quite adorable

–maybe you could take him to your orbit for a while

Mars: I don't know, the Sun doesn't really like when we leave our orbits

–well I don't think we should stay here either

Mars: Right, well, let's go back

*Mars removed Ceres arms around him, but Ceres grabbed his left arm and held it tightly*

–I don't think he's going to let you go. You probably should take him to your orbit, and I'm sure the Sun won't mind

Mars: I guess I have no choice. Well, let's go before something happens

*We all left the asteroid belt*

In Mars orbit

(Sunny pov)

– well I'm going back to Earth. Thanks again, and good luck with Ceres

Mars: No problem, earthling

*I go back to the Earth*

In Earth orbit

–I'm back, Dad

Earth: That took you quite a while. What happened?

– long story short, I encounter Ceres, and when I tried to leave, he pulled me toward him and held me in his arms while sleeping. So I called Mars to help me and now he's the one who has to deal with Ceres

Earth: Well, that's surprising

–I know, he got me off guard when he did that

Earth: But what exactly do you mean that Mars is the one dealing with Ceres

– Mars is simply holding him, nothing much

Earth: Oh, I thought you meant something else

– you thought they were fighting, isn't it

Earth: I did think that they were fighting right now

– I was planning to see Neptune tomorrow. If that's okay with you

Earth: I don't mind as long as you don't go in the kuiper belt

– I wasn't planning on going back in the kuiper belt anyway

Earth: Good, because I don't want you to go there it's dangerous

– I'm aware of the danger of going there
