Earth looked out the window of the school bus with uncertainty and a hint of fear.
'What if the kids at school don't like me?! After all, this is the big city, and we use to live in the countryside of Milky Way City!' (Terrible name I know)

"Earth? Yo! World to Earth!" "Are you okay" Mars and Venus shouted worriedly.
Earth jolted out of his thoughts to see  Mars looking worried and Venus annoyed.
"What is it" Earth said softly, slightly embarrassed that he spaced out. Venus rolled her eyes. "He was explaining how their school works and what happens there, doofus!" Venus scowled
Mars sighed.
"Don't yell at Earth, Venus I can explain it again."
Venus huffed, "Whatever, just listen this time"
The rusty-haired boy started, "Good! Let's start with my other friends at school. Their really nice and fun I swear!" "What are their names and personalities?" Venus asked.

"Well," Mars started, "Mercury is pretty hotheaded because people make fun of his height. He's one of the smallest kids at school. So I suggest you don't make fun of his height. He kinda looks like a girl too."
"Then there's Jupiter! He's one of the tallest kids in the school and he kinda scary too. Only because of his height though. But he's really nice and polite sometimes too! So don't worry! And also, he's weirdly obsessed with Mercury."
"Saturn is a clean freak and he likes drawing pictures. He always has this weird ring around him he always holds up. He doesn't like it when people touch him either, he likes personal space."
"Uranus and Neptune are half-brothers. Their both very organized, smart, and calm! Uranus can be a little short tempered at times, but their pretty awesome. Neptunes is overprotective because he cares for his friends, but mostly for Uranus because Uranus is in a wheelchair.(1)He acts like the big brother even though he's younger"
Earth frowned,"Uranus is in a wheelchair? Why?" He asked worriedly.
"His spine was crushed by a tree after a storm a few years back when he was four. He's been in that wheelchair since." A unfamiliar  voice with a small Chinese accent said.
The three pre-teens turned to see a boy with short, brown hair and brown eyes. He looked awfully small.

Mars grinned

Mars grinned.
"Hey, Merc! How's it going?" The red-head boy asked/shouted.
"Merc" growled. "Don't call me that! My name is Mercury, doofus!"

Venus raised a eyebrow." Are you going to sit down, or cause a even bigger scene?"

Mercury blushed realizing that everyone on the bus was looking at him. "What are you idiots looking at?!" He snarled but sat down to the seat across from Earth, Venus and Mars.(yes there is three to a seat)

As the bus moved on Mars continued his talk about the school.

"The school is separated into several categories. Planets, Moons, Dwarf Planets, Stars, and Comets. I'm apart of the Planets group and so are my other friends."

Earth tilted his head to the side. "Why is everyone separated into groups, and how do you know what group your assigned to?" "The principle assigns you to a group based on your size,weight,height, backstory and personality." Mercury answered and suddenly his eye twitched. "I was almost a dwarf planet."
Mars and Earth tried their best to hold in laughter, while Venus rolled her eyes but there was a hint of amusement in them.
Suddenly the bus stopped.
