15 minutes later, the rocky planets and Helios walked back into the kitchen, looking like they just walked through hell.
Uranus, in a moment of mischief, said, "How was watching the TV?"
"Screw you," Venus muttered as they tucked into the pizza.
After pizza, the kids began to yawn.
"Okay, kids, I think you should head to bed," Saturn said as Neptune looked like he was fighting a battle to keep his eyes open and Mercury was asleep against Helios.
"Are you going to help this time Helios?" Jupiter asked, almost rhetorically.
"Yes actually," Helios said, putting his feet on the table.
Helios looked at the kids one by one, before saying in the calmest voice, "Go."
The kids ran like the wind.
Jupiter looked at Helios as he just smiled.
"Jupiter, Google says we need to make them brush their teeth and they need to change into their pjs(?), oh pajamas," Saturn said.
"Why do we have to do this?" Helios complained, "It's..."
"It's what?" Jupiter asked as Helios looked at his watch.
"It's 35 minutes past 12,"
"WHAT!"
"You really have started to yell, Saturn," Jupiter said, removing his hands from his ears.
"Sorry, It's just Google said that kids should be in bed at 8 to 9:30."
Jupiter picked up his phone, "What are the big numbers on my phone?"
Saturn just stared, looking like a broken computer.
"Saturn, Saturn? Are you okay?" Jupiter held his husband hand as Saturn almost seemed to reboot.
"Yes, I'm fine, just confused, My phone says the time is 19:00, your phone says it's 7:00pm whatever that means, and Helios says it's 35 minutes past 12,"
The grown ups sat there, thinking.
Saturn sighed, "We need Earth."
"Yes,"
"Yes,"
