My POV:

"Kid wake up." I heard a male voice say. I stirred a bit before muttering "5 more minutes.." Right then I felt a cold floor underneath me. I realised the voice wasn't my father's and woke up. My head was throbbing. It was like someone hit me with a boulder. I got up rubbing the back of my head while still sleepy.

That is when I saw a young female, around 20, crouching in front of me. They had what looked like THE HEAD OF PLANET EARTH!? The tiredness from my eyes left immediately and I froze in place. I saw 7 other people behind the female, all having heads that looked like one of the planets in the solar system. One of them had a head that looked like the sun.

"Hello!" The female in front of me greeted me. She was wearing a white mask while having a few bandages wrapped around her head. "H-Hi?" I replied. Fear was eminent in my voice. The flower in my hair turned a deep purple indicating my fear. The female noticed the tone and assured me they wouldn't hurt me.

"W-Who are you? And where am I? I asked. The female smiled. "I am Earth! And you're in the solar system, ''she said. My flower turned a light grey showing I was confused. "This had got to be a prank. Which one of my friends set this up?" I asked the people in front of me. Earth looked at me puzzled. "Um.. This isn't a prank?" She said,

"Ok, let's cut to the chase." The male who appears to be the sun walked in front of Earth and grabbed the collar of my shirt. "Who are YOU?" He asked with his voice deepening at the last part. My flower changed back to a deep purple. Earth tried to get him off of me. "Sun relax! She is just a kid!" She said, Sun ignored her.

"Answer the question." He said to me, tightening his grip. I could feel the heat of his flames grow. "I-I am V" I managed to say. Sun let me go and I took a moment to calm myself down a bit. Sun glared down at me. Earth pulled him back behind her and stepped in front of me. "Sorry about him.. anyways how old are you V?" She asked. "I am 12.. turning 13.." I said, still recovering from Sun.

The person who appears to be Mars looked annoyed. "Are we seriously going to let this human stay?" He asked in a harsh tone. "Until we figure out how to send her back, yes," Earth answered him. Mars turned around and walked away annoyed. Everyone else but Earth, Sun and Neptune followed behind him.

Earth looked back at me. "Don't mind him V. He is just...not a fan of humans.." Earth explained. I nodded slowly. "Earth, can I talk to you?" Sun asked. Earth nodded and looked over at Neptune.

"Nep do you mind staying with V until we come back?" She asked him. Neptune nodded and walked over to where we were as Earth and Sun left the room. An awkward silence left the room and I took this time to calm down. My flower turned a light purple still showing I was a bit afraid.

Neptune broke the silence by saying "So...V right?" He asked. His voice was deep and rough. I nodded. "So...what do you like?" He asked awkwardly. I took a moment to answer.

"I like.. Singing, writing, editing videos, history, geography and astronomy.." I said.

"History and Geography? Earth told me that there are places called countries and stuff where humans are from. Where are you from?" He asked.

"I'm from India but I live in Australia! India is in the continent of Asia while Australia is in the continent of Oceania." I explained.

"Can you tell me more about them?"

"Sure!" I started explaining both countries to the icy planet. He listened to me and was interested. "Both of them were involved in WW1 and WW2-" I said before getting cut off.

"What is WW1 and WW2?" Neptune asked me. I started explaining what WW1 and WW2 was. My flower changed to a bright sunny yellow showing I was happy and Neptune smiled a little.

It had been an hour and I didn't even notice that Earth and Sun were at the door watching. "And yeah that's basically what WW1 and WW2 are. There was also the Cold War from 1947 to 1991 but I'll explain that once I know more about it." I finished off.

"Seems like you two had a good time." Earth said from the door startling us. Neptune turned to face them. "AH! How long were you two there for!?" I asked them, surprised. Sun laughed at our reaction. "Half an hour" Earth replied while walking over to us. Neptune looked away embarrassed.

Sun walked over as well and stood next to Earth. "So.. Sun and I decided to let you stay in the spare room. Also don't worry about the others.. I'll make sure they won't do anything!" Earth explained. I nodded and she took me to the spare room.
