It was impossible to wash the stink of pollution off her surface, but she tried every date night. Earth was waiting on Pluto to arrive for dinner and a movie. She was always late because she insisted on living in the middle of nowhere. None of the other planets approved of their relationship, seeing as Earth's inhabitants had removed Pluto from their planet list. Earth chuckled, accidentally creating an earthquake that destroyed a small island. They had no idea there were twenty nine official planets, Pluto included. 


Pluto arrived, giving her a quick kiss that gave the American midwest a mid-summers freeze. "Ready?" 


"Of course. I thought we could watch the polar bears tonight, I feel rather sorry for them." Earth said.


"Of course, I just... I thought we could talk about it first." 


Earth sighed, sending an avalanche down onto some unlucky climbers. "Do we have to?" 


"I want you to be my universe partner. I want dozens of little moons with you. I love you." Pluto started getting teary eyed. 


"And I love you, but I'm not ready for that kind of commitment." 


Pluto sniffled. "Then what's the matter? Is it because of how your people feel about me?"


Earth winced. Yes, her citizens' opinions mattered, but it was the moon thing. She already had one from a previous relationship with Venus, (that's why he had no moons and she had one, nothing but another dead beat father.) and he was a lot of work. Earth didn't want to become a parent again. Not for a few more millenniums. And Pluto already had five. Five plus one is six, six moons to take care of. "Baby, I can't wait to have moons with you. Heck, if it was up to me, I'd cause another ice age with you right now! I love you so much, you know that." 


Pluto smiled weakly. "Yeah, I know. I just get paranoid, y'know."


"So tonight, let's just watch the cute and furry creatures, then later we can give them a blizzard." Earth wiggled her eyebrows. "The polar ice caps won't be melting tonight." 


Pluto giggled. "Okay, okay."


Earth smiled. Problem solved, for now.
