"Happy Halloween!!!"

Earth watched from above with a smile as he eyed his beautiful little humans going from street to street, asking for candy. He witnessed people dressing up and having fun.

Earth himself was trying to carve a pumpkin in his little space abode. He wasn't very good at it, but he tried his best.

"Humans and their traditions... Such oddities," Earth shrugged, attempting to perfect his pumpkin. "What should I do with you?"

The air felt a bit colder than usual, and the night was more dark. He looked into the space beyond, his great vision able to see Moon as well as Sun. Well, their homes. They must've been srguing again, as they always were.

Earth continued his craft, meticulously carving away at the pumpkin. When he was done, he smiled with pride, before dropping a tea light candle inside and lighting it.

He watched as the newly-formed Jack-o'-lantern shone brightly in his palace.

The Moon looked more reddish than usual tonight. But Earth shrugged it off. Moon was probably doing something weird with Sun-Or they were arguing, like he previously assumed.

He watched as his people went about their Holiday, stuffing their mouths full of sugar and disgusting snacks. Earth hummed, caressing his pumpkin lightly.

That was, however, until he suddenly felt constricted. He looked towards the Earth. He gagged slightly, choking on what seemed like nothing. Maybe he committed a stupid human error and "breathed" incorrectly, but he doesn't exactly breathe, and he hadn't eaten anything in the moment.

He tried to ignore it but it was getting more painful. When he looked back up at the Sun and the Moon; The Sun was shining quite brightly whilst the Moon began to deepen its reddish hue. Earth panicked and looked at his dear, sweet planet. It was beginning to erupt in chaos-From random, unexpected earthquakes and what not. He had to go see Sun, he needed an answer.
