TWs: Brief arguing, a bit of snooping through personal things, mood change, ominousness. Stay safe :)

"There you are, Spica!" Proxima smiled, "We were starting to get worried you wouldn't show up."

The Blue Star hummed, "I wouldn't miss a chance to see you guys for the whole universe." She glanced around, "By the way, why are we here exactly?"

"Did no one tell you?" Gliese shifted towards the other, "We're exacting revenge on fellow Star, Sol, also known as, Helios."

Spica frowned, looking between her friends, "Are you sure that's a good idea?"

Proxima opened their mouth, yet nothing came out. Instead, they looked to Alpha.

"When the universe was created, we were all much closer." He started, "We were friends, and we were proud of the galaxies that were forming around each of us, yet Sol seemed to want more... it started with small jabs here and there, then with senseless teasing, and then moved on to a more physical approach. By the end, we had all shifted away from each other- thank Stars for that."

Spica was silent for a while, contemplating her next words, "And you think... fighting him is the answer?"

No one seemed to have an answer. Gliese moved to be before them, "If you think we can just talk to him, then you're wrong- the last time we did that, Proxima and I almost died!"

Spica furrowed her eyebrows, peering at the Brown Dwarf, "Gliese, I'm only warning you once."

"I don't need advice from you, of all Stars." Gliese glared.

"Listen to me! You are not like us, you're a Brown Dwarf, you're more fragile-"

"Fragile!?" Gliese yelled, "I am not fragile! Why are you even protecting Sol- is he your boyfriend or something?"

"No, of course not!" Spica growled, "I just think- I know you should re-think this! It's been thousands of centuries since we've talked to Sol face-to-face! Maybe he's changed?"

"A Star like that can't change," Toliman said.

"Yeah. I mean, even his planets are deranged, especially the Gas Giants." Gliese spoke, "A ringed planet like Saturn doesn't come naturally... and Jupiter? I heard he almost destroyed half the solar system in the beginning as well as rid life on a planet when it was at its peak."

"They need to go," Proxima spoke, their eyes staring into Spica's, "And whether you agree with us or not, we're still going to do it."

Spica squinted her eyes, glaring, "If this is how you want to die out, then so be it- but don't say I didn't warn you..."

"Hey, is that-" Mars was interrupted by Triton flying by him in a flash, "Woah, hey-!"

"Sorry!" Triton yelled back, continuing his journey to the Goldilocks Zone.

Luna was the first to notice him, his eyes widening. Earth raised an eyebrow, turning around to see what it was his moon was looking at. His eyebrows raised upon seeing Triton barreling towards him at incredible speeds.

The captured moon came to a stop, missing Earth by a few centimeters.

The lively planet let out a breath, backing away as he stared at Triton.

"Cutting it close there, uh-"

"Triton."

"Right, haha- I mean, I'm all for adrenaline races and all, but that was..."
