“Hmm” a sigh rang through the dark cosmos soon followed by a melodic feminine voice “it’s a new day already, good morning Sun” the calming voice greeted, it seems to be emerging from a beautiful blue planet surfing on in the dark cosmos.
…Silence followed for some moments…
“Ow… here we come again” the voice said just as a sorrowful high-pitched bark of a Bear tore through the air.
“Mother Earth, Mother Earth… please avenge me of these vile humans; my poor cub was caught in their trap and now he has bleed to death” the Bear cries sorrowfully.
“Hmm…” Earth sighed on hearing the cry of one of her children. Alas! She couldn’t fulfill the Bear wish; the humans were also her children just as much as it was.
“It’s you and your children once again Earth, you are always so noisy” a cheerful manly voice spoke while guffawing loudly.
“It would be nice if you could ignore this as well… just like you ignored my greetings” Earth responded, her voice as beautiful as ever.
“It is actually so funny you know, how your children cry every time. I bet the sun might burst if he decides to bottle his laughter in, I am sure you wouldn’t want that to happen, Earth” another voice said, this one sounding so distant, it was like a recurring echo.
“You might actually have to worry the least if that was to happen or not at all since your measly existence might even come to an end before it happens so you should just shut up, Pluto” a feminine voice said, the voice held with it a lot of confidence and authority, fitting of a Queen.
“Thanks Ma…” Earth speech was however interrupted by a long spiteful bellow carrying with it the anguish of a dying soul.
“Mother Earth, Mother Earth… please avenge me of this vile Bear in whose maw s my life wanes” a moose cried… its last cry.
“Hahaha… seriously it seems Pluto is right, I might burst out one of this days, tell me that isn’t the Bear who just cursed the humans a while ago” he said in between plosive laughter.
“To think the Bear is such an hypocrite, hmmm… maybe he is just being generous he cried out only to go and give another a reason to cry as well, that way no one gets left out, hehehehe…” Pluto said chuckling in dark glee.
“Well, while I might not fully agree with your sarcastic train or thoughts Pluto, I really wonder why Earth always ignores crying children” Venus asked, irritation glaring in his voice.
“It’s nature’ two voice almost sounding like opposites poles said at the same times.
“Hmhm… here they are again, the lovely twin” a powerful voice boomed forth, it was Jupiter “however, the twain are right, Nature rules everything and Earth is bind by nature as well, she must not interfere with the affairs of her children, they don’t belong to her, in fact… it is the other way round” Jupiter explained.
“Hmm... Ok big ball” Venus said but the irritation in his voice did not seems to be cleansed a tiny bit.
…Silence reigned for some times before another cry shot through the void…
“Mother Earth, Mother Earth… please avenge me of this vile moose, he ate all my green leaves and tender stems, now all that remains of me is a dying root” a bare plant grazed to the ground cried in anguish.
“Hmm… poor thing, even I always manage to feel for them, always on the receiving end, hmm…” Pluto said sighing dramatically.
“For me, instead of pitying those green things, I actually hate those two legged hairless beings, they are like a greedy rot spreading everywhere and consuming everything in sight” Venus said.
“Oh! You don’t like them, me too” a new voice said, sounding like the bubbling sound of boiling water, mercury gave his first speech.
“Me three” Uranus said.
“Me four” Jupiter said.
“Me five”
“Me six”
“Me s… actually scratch that, I root for those guys with my life, hehe…” Pluto said, his sinister laughter echoing on in the dark void.
“Hmm…” Sun chuckled before speaking “I might have loved to share in your splendid humour Pluto if not for the fact that this favorite species of yours might soon disappear from Earth” the Sun said, his voice much dimmer than normal.
“Oh, how is that” a shy sounding ask in excitement.
“Haha… the quiet Neptune is quite excited I see” the sun puased for a moment before continuing “well, humans weapons will soon grow so strong that no other species on Earth will be able to challenge them… then, the weapons of humanity will be worthy of non other than herself. Quiet Neptune, can you tell me what happens when your enemy is your very self” the sun asked.
“Self destruction” Venus shouted in an elated voice offering Neptune no time to think.
“Hmhmhm…” Sun chuckled once again before declaring “…rightly said Venus self destruction because in a war against your self. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose… you are still the casualty” Sun said.
“But before then I hope Mars has recovered enough to present us some bunch of lively scenes or we might really be bored to death” the sun said before bursting into a hearty laugh.
“Seriously, I really don’t know who is more devilish between you and Pluto but it seems there is one more option you haven’t considered Sun” Jupiter said his booming voice turning a bit low. “What if the humans have a visitor” he said and the whole world seems to go up in flames for a seconds.
“You really need to control your mouth Jupiter, I considered that as well… just thought it as a wishful thinking of mine” the Sun said his voice sounding tense.
