Luna looked a little concerned but still went up to his friend. "Hey, uh, Mercury?" Mercury looked at him with confusion. "I need some help." Luna surprisingly got a bit of an angry tone with his response. "Look, it better not be about the Earth because I'm done!" It was clear he was frustrated.
"No, well, yes it's the Earth, but he seems very different!" The moon was looking off into the distance, almost as if he was making sure Earth would be okay. He turned back to Mercury. "It's like he...wants to change." As he said this, Mercury raised an eyebrow at him before his face turns into a slight frown. "Well I'm not buyin' it. And you should know better than to-" He gets cut off.
"Just come with me, okay?" The moon quickly leaves and runs into the direction of Earth. Mercury was about to follow but the sun came over to him. "Do you know what's the best time to eat sushi?!" The Sun has always been a little...special. Mercury ran off quickly. "Wait for me!" He shouted to the moon.
The sun smiled at nothing but finished his joke even though no one was around. "SUNRISE! HAHAHAHAHA!" Mercury turned around. "Ok, that one was pretty good." He smiled at the sun before running back to follow the moon.
They slowly approached Earth as he glanced at them. "Ugh, I already told you moon!" Mercury looked at Luna in confusion. "I don't wanna be your friend!" He looked back at the Earth, still very confused. "You see? Good ol' Earth." He looked to the side. "Wait, wait, wait." Luna moved forward a bit. "And why not?" They both stared intently at Earth. "Because I don't deserve it!"
Earth turned and looked at Luna with a face full of sadness. "I'm a- an egocentric narcissist who deserves to be alone!" Mercury was shocked and the moon was turned towards him with a face of 'I told you so' written all over it.
Mercury came over to the Earth. "Well, you do know that if you are alone, your earthlings won't survive for long." The Earth turned to him. "They either leave me and find a better home elsewhere, or they deserve to go extinct." Mercury's eyes slowly widened. "Woa-ho-ho, woah, okay!" He rushed over to moon. "You weren't kidding moon!"
Moon looked at him and he looked at the moon. "I told you! He's like, at the bottom of the barrel!" It was silent for a moment. "What now?" Mercury looked at Earth and spoke. "Earth, do you want to be better?"
