The planets were hanging out as usual, not expecting anything. Sun and Mercury are chatting happily. Venus, Mars, and Earth play cards, the Moon watching them play. Jupiter and Saturn also chat with eachother, along with Uranus and Neptune. (We won't add Pluto for now.)

Sun: "Hey Mercury! I have a joke for you! Okay okay. Why did the Sun shoot a solarflare?"

Mercury: "Uhm... I don't know. Maybe because it was natural?"

Sun: "Nope. It was because it was too hot to handle! Hahahaha!!"

Mercury: "Oh... That's cool."

*With Venus, Earth, Mars, and Moon.*

Venus: "Hah! I won again!! Take that, Earth!"

Mars: "Wow, Venus! 3 times in a row..!"

Venus: "Thanks, Mars!"

Earth: "Ugh, whatever... You were just lucky, Venus!!"

Venus: "You're just jealous, Earth."

Mars: "Calm down, Earth. He deserves it!"

Earth: "Yeah yeah, whatever. Good job I guess, Venus..!"

Venus: "Hah, thanks guys!"

Moon: "Hm... Feeling a bit generous, eh, Earth?"

Earth: "Maybe, Moon... Just, maybe. But not all the time."

*With Jupiter and Saturn.*

Saturn: "What are you up to, Jupiter?"

Jupiter: "Oh, nothing much... Just reading about some cool space facts!"

Saturn: "Can I read too?"

Jupiter: "Sure! Get over here, Saturn..!"

Saturn: "Okay!"

*With Uranus and Neptune.*

Neptune: "Heya neighborino! What're you writing?"

Uranus: "It's just my diary, Neptune."

Neptune: "Can you play with me and Guillermo?"

Uranus: "Uhm...sure?"

Neptune: "Great!"

Shortly, after a while, a white, glowing ball flies through them. It touches them and disappears into the void of space, leaving them to try and understand what had Just happened. Everyone gathers near the Sun.

Sun: "Did anyone see that? Who here knows what it is?"

Jupiter: "That was so sudden..."

Saturn: "What was that?"

Venus: "It touched me!!"

Earth: "Hm... It touched me as well."

Moon: "It touched everyone, guys..."

Suddenly, as they were talking, a cloud of white smoke surrounds them. They appear somewhere they don't know, but they're definitely not in space anymore. They sit in the sidewalk. They all wake up and look at their hands and body. They had human forms and were no longer a celestial body. They were all shocked. They were on, the Earth? They started panicking.

Sun: "Okay okay, guys, calm down! Let's ask someone."

They all walk over to this random girl who seemed to be 19yo and would go to school, maybe collage?

Jupiter: "Hey there, we were just wondering..."

Venus: "What planet are we on?"

The Girl: "Uhm... Earth, obviously."

Saturn: "And...what are we?"

The Girl: "Humans?"

Uranus: "And where exactly are we?"

The Girl: "What do you mean by that?"

Earth: "I recognize myself... I think this is America, correct?"

The Girl: "Yeah..?"

Mercury: "Okay, thanks."

They all look at eachother for a moment and after awhile, was about to walk away.

The Girl: "How old are you guys?"

They stand there, speechless. They lie about their age.

Sun: "Uhm...we're, uh..."

Mars: "We're 19yo."

The Girl: "What college do you guys go to?"

Neptune: "Uh...nope, we don't have one...right guys?"

Uranus: "Yeah...we don't."

Moon: "Are we supposed to have one?"

The Girl: "Yeah... Do you have jobs to pay for your school fees or do your parents pay for them?"

Jupiter: "We don't have a job..."

Saturn: "Nor do we have anywhere else to live."

Uranus: "We don't even have any money."

The Girl: "What? Well... There is this new restaurant that just opened somewhere around here, and they need lots of new employees."

Sun: "Alright guys, let's get going then!"

They leave to go to that restaurant. They walk in the restaurant and rang the bell.
