I thought I was a planet?

MARS !!!!

"What?" Yelled the normally calm planet, or, should he say, human, standing outside of his 'room'.

Mars had had a confusing day. First, Earth won at cards, which was great for him, but Mars was confused at how he did it. Then he wakes up in a bedroom and has to figure out how humans move, all while hearing Phobos and Deimos voices constantly in his head.

How are you?

Are you okay?

Mars realised that they had heard him when he yelled but not while he was thinking. Mars looked at his hands. They were a medium tan and slightly rough, not a lot but enough to notice. His T-shirt was a marron colour with the words 'Don't try me, there's war where that comes from' and he had dark brown trousers. Mars thought it was a joke about the god of war, although Venus was the more violent of the rocky planets.

Suddenly, Mars heard four sets of tiny feet sounding like they were running up stairs. There were two sets of stairs, one near him and one further away. The noise sounded like it came from the steps furthest away.

Mars!

Mars!

The voices echoed in his head as two blurs of colour ran up to him.

Is this you Mars?

You don't look very sphere shaped?

He looked down. Whining at his feet, were two small dachshunds. They were normal sized for dachshunds but dachshund are normally very small.

"Phobos? Deimos?" Mars asked.

Yeah!

"Which of you are Phobos and which of the dogs are Deimos?" Mars asked.

I'm the one spinning.

And I'm the one sitting on your foot.

Mars could now tell which moon was which dog. Deimos was spinning while Phobos was sitting on his foot. Phobos was slightly bigger while Deimos had a longer tail. Phobos was a dark brown with spots of lighter brown while Deimos was a white with bigger patches of cream (the colour).

"How are you talking(?) to me?" Mars asked out loud.

We don't know

It's only you that can hear us

Mars guessed that because they had been his moons, they were now his dogs which would explain the two dog beds in his bedroom.

"Wait, you said only me," Mars began, "Does that mean there are the other planets?"

Yes

But you're supposed to go down the stairs first

It's downstairs

No it's not, it's down the stairs.

"Show me the way," Mars said trying to stop them from arguing.

Okay

The two dogs ran off. Mars never had pets before: he couldn't, he was a planet. But maybe this could be fun

Bang!

Mars

We tripped someone up

or not.
