Jupiter looked to the person in the doorway from the living room. His skin had a tan look to it and on his head were sunglasses.
Yes, Jupiter had figured out who they were, it wasn't hard; he was wearing all yellow for crying out loud.
He had thin trousers that bordered on leggings and a sleeveless shirt. Somehow it looked professional but also the look of someone who was power and knew it.
"I said hello there planets! Oh I wish I could threaten you with a solar flare," muttered ..the Sun?
"Sun?" asked Mercury, looking at the star.
"Yep, that's me," replied Sun, taking the final seat at the table next to Mercury.
"So can we open the folder?" asked Earth, impatiently.
"I suppose so," Jupiter replied looking towards Saturn and the Sun who both nodded.
Jupiter took the folder and removed the post-it-note. The folder had a binder and lots of paper attached to the binder.
"Jupiter," Saturn said, grabbing the only piece of paper that wasn't attached to the binder.
"What's on it?" Mars asked.
Saturn stared at it, squinting, "A bunch of nonsensical small drawing."
"Let me see that," said the Sun as Saturn passed the paper down the table.
"There aren't nonsensical drawings," the Sun exclaimed, "They're words."
"Can you tell us what they say?" Venus said, bored.
"I will," snapped back the Sun before cleaning his throat,
"Dear Celestial Objects, do not worry, the planets are in their orbit and are acting how human scientists-"
"What's a human?" Venus interrupted.
"DON'T INTERRUPT ME!" Shouted the Sun. Everyone paled slightly except Jupiter. For some reason, he wasn't scared. Jupiter felt how a mother would feel when their toddler has a temper tantrum.
Earth slowly put his hand up.
"Why are you doing that Earth?" Jupiter asked Earth. The Sun glared at Jupiter while he just raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know," Earth began, confused, "I wanted to talk and I just did that."
"What did you want to say Earth?" Asked Sun, a little ticked off.
"A human what my earthing call themselves," Earth replied.
"Is everyone done?" Asked the Sun, almost daring them to talk, "Good, I'm going to continue,
think."
"Think?" Mercury muttered.
"WHAT?" the Sun shouted, slamming the table.
"It's just th,think doesn't make any sense on its own," Mercury tried to explain.
"THAT'S BECAUSE I GOT INTERRUPTED BY VENUS AND THEN YOU!!! I am going to start from the beginning and if anyone and I mean anyone, interrupts me, I WILL THROW MY CHAIR AT THEM!!" Sun stated, "GOT IT?"
Everyone nodded, slightly concerned (except Jupiter for some reason).
"Dear Celestial Objects, do not worry, the planets are in their orbit and are acting how human scientists think planets do. You have been given human bodies to explore earth (the planet, not the human) and find out what family life is like. The top ten pieces of paper in the folder are your identities. More information will be added to them as you live your lives. You have two days before the kids are going to school to sort everything out. Please don't destroy anything or do anything illegal.
From Quentin
P.S You might meet a familiar face."
There was a few seconds of silence.
Then there was pandemonium.
