Earth looked out the window of his car, and gazed upon the lush, green trees in the background. They seemed to interest him more than anything else outside. His sister, Venus, was watching a video on her phone, and his brother Terra was playing a game. Suddenly Earth heard his mother say:

"We're almost there kids! This is so exciting, isn't it?!"

Venus rolled her amber eyes, Earth smiled lightly, and Terra(1) just chuckled softly.
Earth:

(Sorry, I couldn't find a picture of Venus)

"Don't get deceived mom these friendly looking people mom, they could just be doing that to look good."

Star, their mother rolled her eyes and said bluntly,"Loosen up a bit, Terra! You've been like this this since we left our old house!Don't be so paranoid"

Venus rolled her eyes once again in annoyance.Earth looked over at her."Come on, you can't be TOO angry about this! Sure, we've moved a lot but this time we'll be staying and make new friends!"

Venus scowled. "I don't give a crap, we still have to settle in and make new friends. I miss my old friends!"

Their father, who was driving, frowned at Venus through the mirror and said " Sweet, you have to know how to deal with change."

"I don't WANT change"

"Well, it's best you build a bridge so you can get over it."

"He has a point sis", Terra pointed out.

Earth sighed.He couldn't help but agree with Venus. He made so many memories at his old home and school. Not only that be he lived near the country and water, not a city so he wasn't use to the loud noises and bright lights.

They were moving because their father had been offered a high-paying job. And since more money meant more opportunities, he took it.

His mother, Star, worked at a youth center and took care of the the kids below 13 years old.

Earths old friends had been weird but they had always supported him left and right. And since the Youth Center was open for kids below 18 years old, he and his friends went there to hang out.

Earth frowned as he saw trash, and other disposals on the ground. He had always kinda had OCD and had a fit every time he saw trash on ground outside. Which is why he always had a trash bag with him outside.

Said boys thoughts stopped when the car went stationary. The three kids looked out the window of the car and gapped at the sight.

There was a huge house in front of the young, growing, eyes. Compared to this house, their old one was nothing.

Star smiled. "Well Kids? Isn't this house amazing?!" "Yes" The three of them replied.

The five of them got their bags and marched inside the building, except Earth.

He sighed. "Well... I guess I'm home" he murmured.

Earth thought of his old friends mad all of the fun times they had together. He though of the times they comforted each other, He remembered all the times they had argued. Now he would never see them again. A stray tear went down his cheek.
Suddenly he dropped his suitcase and his eyes narrowed. "No. I will see them again, one way or another."

He ran off not aware of the body in front of him.

Earth bumped into the person and hit his head against a rock nearby. His world began to swirl and turn black. All he saw was red, rusty colored hair.

"Never fear! Mars is here!Don't worry dude! My brothers and I will help you! The boy Earth guessed name is "Mars".

The last thing he felt was someone picking him up.

And his whole world turned pitch black.

1. I know Terra isn't a planet and neither are any of the parents, but I kinda wanted Earth and Venus to have a elder sibling and I was to lazy to think of anything in real life to be the parents either.
