(They go to the restaurant. They walk in and ring the bell. A person walks out from the back.)

Worker: "Oh, I'm so sorry. But, we're closed right now..!"

Jupiter: "Uhm, actually... We're here to apply for a job?"

Worker: "I'm so sorry, but...uhm- Oh wait...what did you just say?"

Venus: "He said, we wanted to apply for a job here, pipsqueak!"

Mars: "Venus, calm down!"

Venus: "Fine!"

Mercury: *Whispers to Earth.* "Why did he call him pipsqueak? I'm usually the one Venus calls a pipsqueak..!"

Earth: "Yeah, uhm-... Wait, what?"

Mercury: "Nothing..."

Moon: *Whispers to Earth.* "That was odd... Do you think Mercury's jealous?"

Earth: *Whispers back to Moon.* "Definitely not."

Worker: "Yes, uhm... How many are you, exactly?"

Saturn: "There's 10 of us!"

Worker: "Alright. Well, call me bob! I will be your manager. You can just sign your names here and... we're done!"

Uranus: "What? That's it?"

Earth: "No interview or anything?"

Bob: "Nope! I am in real need for workers. That's why, the shop is still closed! But, you said there were 10 of you?"

Sun: "Yes..?" *Raises an eyebrow.*

Bob: "I only see 9 of you..."

Moon: "I'm over here-..." *Walks over.*

Bob: "Oops, sorry. Anyways, please sign!"

*After signing. They all leave the restaurant.*

Sun: "Where's Mercury?"

Mercury: "I'm over here...Sun."

Sun: "Let's check. Say "here" if you're present."

Mars: "Is this an attendance checking...for school?"

Sun: "Nope. Just wanna make sure that everyone is here!"

Mars: "Okay..."

Sun: "I'm here, obviously. Mercury!"

Mercury: "Oh, uhm... Here..!"

Sun: "Venus?"

Venus: "Yup. I'm still here, alright..."

Sun: "Earth?"

Earth: "Here!"

Sun: "Earth's Moon?"

Moon: "Oh, wow. Uhm... hello, Mr. Sun! I- I'm...here."

Sun: "Okay okay. Mars!"

Mars: "Still here, Sun!"

Sun: "Jupiter?"

Jupiter: "Here and alive!"

Sun: "Saturn?"

Saturn: "Here."

Sun: "Uranus?"

Uranus: "Oh, uh... Here, I guess?"

Sun: "Okay. Neptune?"

*It's quiet.*

Jupiter: "Hello? Neptune?"

Uranus: "Jesus, mate! Neptune's gone!!"

Saturn: "What? Where could he be?"

Sun: "Okay. Everyone, calm down! Let's all go look for him..!'

Earth: "Neptune!"
