Summary
“Why— do the Earthlings— do this?” Sun gasped when he got to them, doubling over with his hands on his knees. “It’s dreadfully inefficient. Why do they fight so hard against gravity? Is this meant to be fun?”
“Yup!” Earth rocked on his heels, eyes following something in a different tree before refocusing on Sun with a grin. “It’s also for the exercise. And the views.”
“Ah yes. The views.” Sun leaned against a tree, narrowing his eyes at Earth. “Lots of trees. And green. Very nice. We’ve seen it now so I guess it’s time to head back…?”
“We’ve barely started! And we need to get higher up to see the landscape.” And the planet was bounding up the slope again, knocking stones and stick out of their place. “C’mon, let’s go.”
———
When it was only Earth, Luna and Sun left in the Solar System, Earth took them all onto his surface for a hike. -

“I could help.”
Mercury turned. It was still hard to see in the darkness but Venus just knew the smaller planet was wearing a skeptical expression. “Uh… really?”
“‘S just feathers, right? Can’t be that hard.”
That didn’t seem to imbue Mercury with confidence. Rude.
“Alright then. Go bald on your own.”
“I’m not—“ Mercury flapped irritably and slumped. “You’re… being serious?”

Summary
Ah, right. He was supposed to be working on his ‘listening skills’. The star crossed his arms and tilted his head, pressing his lips together.“When…” Astrodude started, then seemed to rethink, shaking his head. “Did you have any help? With taking care of the planets?”
Oh. Was that why he came outside? It was a stupid question. Sol shifted his weight, shrugging. “Nope!”
A silence. “Really? No one?”
“Nope.” Who would Sol have gotten help from?
———On Earth’s surface, Astrodude and Sun have a conversation.

Summary
Earth pulled the book out of orbit, flicking through it while talking. “It’s more of a logic puzzle than math, but it does have numbers so um… technically? I think…” he trailed off and cleared his throat. “Would you like to learn how to play?”
“Yes!” Neptune liked numbers after all. And it was quieter here. He folded his legs up beneath him and leaned forward, attentive.
“It’s actually meant to be a one person game,” Earth explained, showing him the contents of the pages. A grid with a seemingly random scattering of numbers going from one to nine. Neptune felt himself perk up even more. “I can teach you the basics— you’ll probably pick it up fast anyway— and then I can give it to you for you to do in your orbit?”
Neptune tapped his fingers together excitedly, and nodded.

Summary
“So, you’re… our star?”
Sol nodded, and dimly realised tears were dripping down his face. When did that happen? Probably a while ago.
“Hello,” he rasped, and oh, his voice sounded horrible this was not a good first impression. He cleared his throat and sniffled, raising his hands to wipe his eyes and stiffening when the tiny planets flinched away. “Sorry, I’m just…”
He didn’t know how to finish that sentence. Overwhelmed? Relieved? Guilty? Grieving? He sighed heavily. Words were hard, and he was tired.

Summary
For the first time, Sol directed his eyes to the upper plane and gazed upon what had remained of Betelgeuse. Brilliant blue white like the ice caps adorning Mars’ northern pole filled Sol’s vision. Over time the dust and gas would continue to expand, shaped by stellar winds and magnetic fields, shifting into various hues dependent on elements contained within the star’s outer layers. Much like the star itself, the nebula wasn’t permanent. Eventually it would fade away into nothingness over the course of hundreds of millions of years.
Stars were the only celestial beings who were born to die. Born to give, never take for they always took too much even when they didn’t mean to, and then…die.
Following the passing of another star, the Sun is faced with the reality that he too will suffer the same fate. Dying isn't necessarily the problem, it's what it will do to the planets and system he's dedicated his life to. How could he ever reconcile this?

Technically, the Sun could talk to the other stars. He just doesn't want to, because they're awful.
(Or, Sol goes to Star Court and spends the entire time vividly imagining the death of everyone involved.)

Summary
"I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."
"Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"
"Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.
"Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."
"Let's not joke."

Summary
The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was already going pretty fast. It hurt, pretty bad. Nothing like playing asteroid dodgeball at all. Funnily enough, it only put him off asteroid dodgeball for about fifty-thousand years. Kinda long, when he looks back at it now, but they didn’t really measure time back then. Things were either a short time, or a long time. Sometimes even a medium time, if you felt like breaking the mold. Either way, afterwards he felt kind of stupid for thinking he would’ve been able to change anything anyways. The things they do only matter if it’s inconvenient for them. That’s what Saturn says, at least. Or, said, one time and very off-handedly.
“Oh no, his move was so bad he died,”
Someone is waving obnoxiously in front of his eyes. Ugh. He’s kind of in the middle of something here.
“What?” Earth complains, swatting Mars’s hand away.
“Don’t what me, dude,” Mars says, but he doesn’t sound upset. He just looks a little amused.
The Sun doesn’t talk to any of them anymore, time moves a lot slower now which is an unrelated phenomenon, and recently, Earth has been star-gazing a lot more.

Summary
Nothing was going to stop him from getting home.
He’s the Sun. He’s a star! He can do this. It’s just some more walking. That’s all. He can walk, right? Of course he can! It’s simple! The planets leave their orbits all the time and make it look easy. It doesn’t matter if this is technically the first time Sun has left his orbit, he’s supposed to be strong and fierce—an indomitable force to be reckoned with.
Yes. Yes, he can do this.
He has to—if not for him, for the beings cradled in his arms.
OR
Sun returns, with hi- the celestials in tow, exhausted and injured but alive.
And unfortunately for Sun, ignoring your own injuries doesn't go as well as he thinks it will
