Narrator:  Ahh...Space! The place where everything is so peaceful. So calm. So...


"AH-CHOO!" Sneezed the third planet from the Sun.


Earth.


Narrator: Well, it's not so peaceful, now is it???


Every planet was complaining, including the asteroids and the comet that was orbiting the Sun.


Teremy.


"Why in tarnation did you do that, sistah?" Venus said, looking at her next door neighbor.


Earth looked away at her moon for a moment.


She felt ashamed for what was going on on her continents.


She was also afraid that if she told them what was going on, then they would never want to be near her again.


What was she going to tell them?


"Come on, Earth! Spit it out! I'm your brother, even though we both have polar ice caps." Mars said, trying not to be mean.


Earth sighed.


"Okay okay. I'll tell you! All of yehs!" She said, getting irritated.


Every planet then quieted down and began to listen to Earth.


"You see...Something happened on the Northwest side of my equator. Somewhere in China. A virus of some sort. The scientists call it COVID-19..." Earth began to say until she saw Comet Teremy raise his comet arm.


"What is it, hun?" The Sun asked, looking at him.


Teremy shifted his tail, shyly.


"Pardon me for asking too many questions, Ms. Earth but are you sick? You don't sound too good. Also, is it dangerous?" He asked, concerned.


Earth nodded.


"Yes I'm sick. The sniffling won't stop and I feel like I can't breathe. To answer your other question..." She began to say as she felt a sneeze coming on.


Mercury, Venus and the others began to space out.


"Ah...Ah...AHCHOO!" Earth sneezed, causing Teremy to zoom around to the other side of the sun.


Phebes, one of Mars's moons gave Earth a tissue.


"Heh heh thanks." Earth said, now blowing into the tissue.
