Part 1: Space Poker

Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury were playing Space Poker together, and Earth's Moon, Luna, was getting bored. He wanted to join in with them, but he remembered what happened when he tried to join in with them last time.
'Earth?' Luna said, while yawning, 'Can we do something else?'
'No, moon, we're in the middle of a round. Do you want to join in?' Earth replied.
Luna knew that he didn't ever want to play space poker again after the incident, where he almost put all Earthlings in danger.
'Threaten him.' said Luna's dark side
'No, I'm not going to do that!' Luna exclaimed
'Well, you have 2 options: either join in with their game and almost kill the earthlings again, or threaten the Earth and make him play something else.' Said the dark side
'Fine. I will threaten him.' Luna said, determined.
Luna turned to the Earth and shouted, 'YOU HAVE 2 OPTIONS: EITHER PLAY SOMETHING ELSE WITH ME AND KEEP YOUR EARTHLINGS SAFE OR KEEP PLAYING SPACE POKER AND KILL ALL EARTHLINGS FOR GOOD!'
'M-m-moon?' Earth stuttered, afraid, 'I-I-I'm Sorry!' Earth started crying, as the others stared at Luna in shock. Venus went over to Earth and tried desperately to comfort him, but when his attempts failed, he asked Mars to comfort Earth whilst he gave Luna a piece of his mind.
'WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!' Venus scolded Luna, 'EARTH JUST WANTED TO HAVE FUN AND PLAY WITH US AND YOU JUST HAD TO BULLY HIM!'
'I'm-----' Luna began, before being cut off by his dark side
'I'm not sorry. Earth deserved it.' The dark side said, mimicking Luna's voice perfectly.
'MOON! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!' Venus shouted
'My Name is Luna, and like I said, Earth deserved it. I'm done with following Earth everywhere and having to watch you guys play your space card game. So go away before I hurt you.'
Luna subconsciously picked up a medium-sized asteroid from the nearby asteroid belt, now completely controlled by his dark side.
'I'M NOT LEAVING!'
'Okay. Fine.' He threw the asteroid at Venus so that it dug into his surface. 'Consider yourself lucky. Next time, I will make sure you're taken care of. Now, go away.

Venus finally decided to go back to Earth, who had been comforted by Mars.
'Earth, I think there's something wrong with Luna.' Venus said, worried
'What do we do?' Earth asked
'I don't know, but for now, let's see if Mercury will be able to replace Luna. I don't think it's a good idea to have Luna orbiting you when he's like this.'
'That's a good idea.' Earth said sleepily. He yawned and curled up on Venus' lap. 'But, right now, I just want to go to sleep and just forget about all of this craziness.' And he slowly fell asleep, Venus holding his hand and gently stroking it. He stared out at the stars and fell asleep with Earth. It was one of the first times he was ever happy.
