Uranus was in the dark, literally. Being the planet furthest from the Earth (excluding Neptune) meant he knew the least about the planet and it was backfiring on him.

"Uranus," came a knock from the door.

"It's Ur-rin-us," the moody thirteen year old snapped.

"Urrinus, can I come in?" the person on the other side of the door asked.

"Sure," Uranus said, begrudgingly.

Jupiter entered, paused, and looked around confused, "Why are your lights off?"

"Icouldn'tturnthemon," Uranus muttered, hand on his mouth.

"I'm afraid I don't speak mumble," Jupiter replied, looking at Uranus.

"I couldn't turn them on," Uranus muttered, slightly ashamed.

Jupiter felt around on the wall before Uranus head a click and the lights were on.

And dear the Milky Way Galaxy, they were bright and yellow, like the Sun, or Helios as he was now know as, but closer.

Uranus squinted and covered his eyes, "Turn them off,"

With another click, the room was plunged back into darkness, which left the two back to their original problem.

"We could turn your desk lamp," Jupiter suggested, heading towards the desk.

Uranus shrugged but continued towards the desk in his room. Jupiter got there but didn't turn the lamp on. Uranus looked at him with confusion.

It was dark but Jupiter got the message.

"Why don't you turn it on?" Jupiter said, standing back.

Uranus touched the lamp, it didn't work. He touched the base, it didn't work. He was about to hit it before Jupiter stopped him.

"Do you see how facing it head on didn't work?" Jupiter asked, kindly, "If you find a problem's beginning, you can defuse the arguement or in our case, turn the light on."

The light turned on. It was amazing, it illuminated the room in a light blue glow that was gentler than the yellow lights.

"Were you trying to teach me something?" Uranus asked Jupiter, curious.

Jupiter nodded, "Now I think you should go apologize to Venus,"

Uranus was trying to hide a smile, "Okay,"

Jupiter lead Uranus out of the room, "But it is Venus so you are allowed to insult him if he insults you."

"I was going to do that anyway."
