Hey, who could it be? (No, it's gotta be...!)

A billion years or so ago, Pluto was wandering in his orbit, finishing his chat with Neptune as the Ice Giant disappeared once more. He always did that, yet Pluto was off-put by it, noticing a strange sense of urgency telling him to run. It was weird.

As the planet floated back to his orbit, he spotted something odd; the asteroids had been moved deliberately. He had no idea how he knew that, but he knew some were missing or destroyed, tiny fragments left in their places.

He hummed, drifting closer to inspect it. At first, he thought about Charon causing the mess, but that didn't seem plausible since this amount of destructiveness was far bigger than what his moon was capable of.

Turning around, Pluto saw the other Ice Giant, Uranus. Maybe he could ask him about it or if he saw anything.

He made his way over to the bigger planet, noticing the planet was carving into a few ice fragments he could've only gotten from the outer asteroid belt.

"Hey, Uranus!" Pluto called.

Uranus perked up, turning around to see Pluto, "Oh, hello, mate! What can I do for you?"

"I was just wondering," Pluto stopped before the planet, gesturing to the destroyed asteroids, "Did you do that?"

"Hm?" Uranus turned to look at the mess, "Ah- no? I got these ice fragments somewhere else. I just got back."

"Oh, that's weird."

"Have ya asked Neptune?"

"Eh... he's probably orbiting around again," Pluto uttered.

"Oh, that's too bad then..." Uranus went back to digging into the ice crystals.

Pluto was about to return to his orbit when he saw a shadow amid the outer asteroid belt. He raised an eyebrow, taking a few paces back.

Pluto noticed an asteroid half the size of the Ice Giant. He called out, "Uhm, Uranus-"

"What is it, mate?" Uranus looked up, only to see the scared look in the planet's eyes. The planet dropped the ice fragments, turning around only to be rocked in the sphere by a large object. The collision caused him to black out.

"Uranus!" Pluto yelled, yet it was too late as he watched Uranus' axis slowly tilt, putting him on his side. The asteroid fragments split up, going in different directions.

Pluto was panicking, wondering what to do when he saw Saturn in the distance.

"Saturn- Saturn!" Pluto yelled.

...

"And that's what happened..." Pluto finished.

"Huh..." Uranus blinked, "Man, I can't believe I got knocked in the face that easily..."

"It was moving pretty fast." The dwarf planet shrugged, "You weren't paying attention either. It looked like you were carving something out of ice."

Uranus hummed, "Ice...?"

"Anyway, I think that's all for storytime. We should really go and find Triton now- don't want to make the others wait."

"Oh, yeah," Uranus nodded, moving to the side, "Go have fun with your game, mates. I'll see you later!"

"We will?" Charon raised an eyebrow.

"It's better to nod and not ask questions." Pluto forced a smile on his sphere, "Bye, Uranus!"
