Even though I hesitate I get my shoes on and follow Earth and the rest of the planets
We get to the car and drive home

Well their home,it used to be Luna's too, not anymore though

Luna still had some stuff there in his old room so he would be fine for a night or two

They arrive at the familiar place
Luna hears to very well known voices

Phobos and Deimos

They rush up to him both of them grabbing one of his legs

"Moon you're back!Just like you promised!" Phobos says

"We've missed you so much!"Deimos informs

"You sound weird Deimos!"

"NO I DON'T!"

"Guys let's calm down,alright?There is no need to yell!"I say trying to stop them from fighting

"Sorry,they can be a handfull!" Mars says rushing up and grabbing their hands

"Mars!Look!Moon is back!"Deimos says pointing to me

"Mhm,and Deimos don't point at others it's not nice,alright?"

"Yes Mars."

" Well I'll go in muly room and see if we can play tomorrow,okay?" I say looking at Phobos and Deimos

Their eyes start to sparkle up like a little earthlings on Christmas eve

"We can?"Phobos asks

"Of course! I'll see you two tomorrow!"

The two small moons rush into their rooms happily Mars quickly follows after

After this I go into what used to be my room
It felt a little strange seeing it now
I haven't been here in awhile so it has remained untouched
I think I left my old diary here,since I've never found it in my newer room

Let's try to find it

I search pretty much every single place,the drawer,the bedside table,even looking through my desks compartiments
This is so weird
And ironic
It's my own room but I can't even find my old diary

Didn't I use to hide a lot of stuff under my bed?

So I look under it

And find a smoking gun

An african violet cover with gold accents,a very familiar book

It's my old diary

I spend no time looking at the cover and try to open it

A stupid little padlock

I need to find the key

I use my the flashlight of my phone and start searching for the key
I see a red box
Could this be it?
Finding it I force it open put the key inside the padlock

What secret was so embarassing that I needed to do so much just for it to not be found?

I take a look at the first page nothing
I take a look at the second nothing
All of them are blank
No ink,no smudges,no secrets
But that can't be it
Why hide something like this if there was nothing to see and or protect from prying eyes
This isn't how I'll let it end

It has to have some angle to it

I guess I'll take a shower then come back to the book

I turn the third page.
I finally start to see words and sentances forming
But neither start with dear diary
No.
They're just straight up

I few subjects are quite off
There are a few pages about my ever growing crush on Titan but some are really freaky
Not in the scary way
They're weird
They feel like a re-telling of the Solar system

I remember this
It was metaphorical telling of the Solar system

What's seen in shodows is misunderstood
in the mind of a child

It's something that has stuck with me

It's not hard to understand but it reflects the way that developming minds don't percive things from both sides
It's something that was relatable to me
I thought that Jupiter and Saturn ejected a planet out of the Solar system because it wasn't doing it's job properly
Or that's the way I saw it

In reality it doesn't even explain why the poor planet was thrown away into the most far corner of the Solar system without the light of the Sun
It just says that it happend one day
No explanation as to why or how

It was because they made all of us feel safe

Jupiter reasuring Mercury that he was a planet,never showing a hint of angriness

Saturn having a delicate nature and being sensitive

It would never raise suspicions that they did it out of bad intentions

And it worked

The Sun belived it,Me and Earth belived it. Everyone belived it

And that's how Uranus and Neptune were trusted with protecting the Solar system

And all of this has taught me one thing

There is no truth
Only perception
