"Thank you so much for coming, Luna!" IO said as he walked outside, he had to sneak out of the house since it was early out. IO looked up at the clouds, it was barely even sunrise.

"It's the least I can do, you wanted to talk about that doctor, you found out more information about him?" Moon grabbed his bike's handles and drove the bike up to the fence looking over at IO coming out of the house.

"I found out that Jupiter had a past friendship with him, and they fell out for some reason! Jupiter told us himself." IO pointed upwards, seemingly happy that he found out some information. Moon nodded understandingly.

"I know this weekend there's a trip for all of the Planets to go over to Sun's house. Maybe we can invite him." IO said with happiness in his eyes. Moon shook his head with a smile on his face, IO's smile was quite contagious.

"Do you think you could find him within the hospital?" Moon raised his eyebrow as he walked his bike back onto the pavement, making a soft hand gesture telling IO to grab his bike.

"It can't be that hard right?" IO said as he grabbed Ganymede's helmet and happily put it on his head. He clicked the helmet into place. It fell over his eyes but he quickly moved it.

When IO and Moon walked into the hospital after they docked their bikes. They watched as carts were moved around and doctors were talking to one another. It was an oddly paced say as the doctors were moving quickly around.

"We underestimated how hard this was going to be, didn't we?" IO said as he swallowed nervously. He clenched his shoulders as he shuttered, the soft breeze going against his surface.

"Do you know where he could be?" Moon looked over at him and gently smiled, holding out his hand. IO grabbed it gently easing for a second then he let go. IO looked left and right before having a puzzled expression.

"No, I don't know at all, wait.. is that Pluto? Maybe we could ask him. He is pretty far out, right? He could have seen X when he was a planet." IO said quite happily, that he loved talking to Pluto whenever he was in the hospital. He looked over at Moon who shook his head in a declining manner.

"I don't know he seems kind of busy doesn't he?" Moon gritted his teeth in a frown not wanting to bother the dwarf planet who had his hands over his head.

"It'll be quick. We don't have much time until Jupiter or one of the Galileans realizes I am gone." IO said as he softly made his way over to Pluto. Moon closed his eyes and nodded.

"I was wondering how you stuck out," Moon spoke with a gentle tone, knowing he had to do similar tactics to get out of the house. He never really left Earth's side after the one time he got caught.

"Jupiter doesn't really check. He gives us privacy nowadays." IO nodded, stopping to make sure Moon was following. He looked at all of the nurses who seemed to be conversing.

"Let's figure this out." Moon crossed his arms looking over at Pluto. "We either can talk to Pluto or we can search around the hospital and get caught." When Moon finished his sentence IO had already made up his mind.

"Let's go bother Pluto." IO spun his asthma band around as he walked over to Pluto. Pluto had his hands on his head as he seemed to be dealing with head issues.

"Hey, Pluto!" IO said as he waved over to him. Pluto looked up with a confused look. Pluto tilted his head wondering why IO was back in the hospital.

"Oh hello, what are you guys doing here? Didn't you just leave IO?" Pluto asked curiously, keeping his head down, he wasn't making eye contact which was pretty normal for him. However, IO sat right down next to him to make him more comfortable. Pluto gently smiled.
