Chapter Text

Narrator: The two gas giants, Saturn and Jupiter, stand side by side, their eyes meeting. They are both feeling rather down about the past, their moons having left an impact on their minds. The other planets and moons of the solar system look on, unsure of how to help.

Saturn: *sighs softly* I can't help but feel like I've failed them... all of them. Their deaths... it was all for nothing.

Jupiter: *nods solemnly* I know the feeling. It's hard to watch those we care for suffer, even if it's for the greater good.

Saturn: *looks at Jupiter, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips* But perhaps... we can find solace in each other. We don't have to go through this alone.

Jupiter: *returns the smile, tentatively* Yes... perhaps we can. It would be nice to have someone who understands what it's like, someone who knows what it's like to make the hard choices.

Narrator: As the two gas giants share a moment of understanding and comfort, their moons look on with hope in their eyes. Perhaps there is hope for healing after all.

Saturn: *leans in closer to Jupiter, their gas shells gently brushing against each other* I know we'll never forget what happened, but perhaps... we can learn to forgive ourselves. And move forward together.

Jupiter: *nods, taking a deep breath* Yes... I'd like that. To have someone who I can talk to about it, who won't judge me. It would be a relief.

Narrator: The other planets and moons in the solar system watch as Saturn and Jupiter find solace in each other. They exchange knowing glances, hopeful that this newfound connection will bring healing and understanding to the whole system.

Ganymede: *whispers to Callisto* I think this is the beginning of something beautiful.

Callisto: *nods, smiling softly* Yes... I think you're right.

Io: *looks up at Europa, a tear in their eye* I wish the emperor could see this. Helios would be so proud- *coughs*

Europa: You gotta get that checked, Io.

Callisto: *chuckles* Yes, Io. You should take better care of yourself. You're important to us all.

Io: *smiles weakly* Thanks, Callisto. You know I try.

Ganymede: *nods solemnly* Yes, Io. You're a strong one. We're all here for you.

Europa: *watches the exchange, her eyes softening* Anyways, aren't we gonna put our like, plan in track?~

Ganymede: Right! We were just discussing how to help Saturn and Jupiter kiss. Any ideas, Europa?

Europa: *thinks for a moment, then grins slyly* I know just the thing. *smiles mischieviously*

Narrator: Europa whispers something in Ganymede's ear, his face flushing with excitement. Ganymede nods and winks at Europa before turning back to Callisto and Io.

Narrator: Io's heart skips a beat as they watch Ganymede's reaction to Europa's words, wondering what she could possibly have said. Callisto, always observant, studies the exchange with interest.

Narrator: Suddenly, Ganymede leans in towards Callisto, his voice low and conspiratorial. "We could... distract them," he suggests, gesturing subtly in Saturn and Jupiter's direction. "You know, give them some privacy."

Callisto: *raises an eyebrow, intrigued* And how exactly would we do that?

Ganymede: *grins slyly* Oh, you know. Create a diversion. Maybe start a game or something? Get everyone else involved in some harmless fun, while we sneak away for a bit?

Callisto: *nods, their mind already racing with possibilities* That could work. We could even... I don't know, set up a little date spot for them. Make it romantic.

Narrator: Io perks up at the mention of a date spot, their eyes sparkling with hope. Europa grins mischievously and gives Ganymede a wink. The other moons exchange glances, amused and intrigued by the idea of playing matchmaker.

Ganymede: *clears his throat* Right, then. Let's get to work. Callisto, you're in charge of the game. Io, you can help with that. Europa and I will take care of setting up the date spot. Sound good?

Io: *nods eagerly* Yes! Now let's go, woohoo!

Callisto: Yay.

Narrator: With a new sense of purpose and excitement, the group begins to divide up tasks. Ganymede and Europa slip away from the others, quietly plotting how best to give Saturn and Jupiter the privacy they need. Meanwhile, Callisto and Io engage the other moons in a lively game of tag, laughing and shouting as they race across the surface of the solar system.

Narrator: As Ganymede and Europa move farther away from the commotion, they come across a secluded grove of trees, nestled between the rings of Saturn. The setting is picture-perfect, with a small waterfall trickling nearby and delicate flowers swaying gently in the breeze. It's the perfect spot for a romantic rendezvous.

Io: *giggles* I can't believe we're actually doing this! It feels so... grown-up!

Callisto: *rolls eyes* Whatever you say, Io. Now, let's see how we can make this work. *looks around the area, surveying it* We should probably set up some kind of hiding spot. Europa, you're the smallest, can you climb up into that tree over there and wait until we signal you?

Io: *nods eagerly* Sure, I can do that! *climbs up into the tree as directed*

Callisto: *nods, looking satisfied* Alright, now we just need to distract everyone...

Jupiter: *watches as Io climbs into the tree, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips* That's my little Io. Always up for an adventure.

Saturn: *nods, grinning* Indeed. Now, about this date spot... It's quite the setting you've found here. *looks around at the trees, flowers, and waterfall* It's perfect. *turns back to face Jupiter* So, what do you think? Do you want to stay here for a bit?

Jupiter: *takes a deep breath, savoring the air and the scenery* I'd love to, if you'll have me. *reaches out to take Saturn's hand, his touch warm and inviting*

Saturn: *smiles, taking Jupiter's hand in their own* Of course, my love. I'd be honored. *looks over at Europa and Ganymede, who are still trying to distract the others* There they go, being their meddlesome selves. But we'll deal with them later. For now... *leans in, pressing their lips gently against Jupiter's*

For now... *leans in, pressing their lips gently against Jupiter's*

Jupiter: *melts into the kiss, wrapping their arms around Saturn* Oh, my dearest, I've missed you so much. *nibbles on Saturn's bottom lip before pulling back* So, tell me, what have you been up to since we last saw each other?

Ganymede: *glances over, noticing that the distraction seems to be working* Good, good. Now, let's see... *thinks for a moment, then starts to whisper something into Callisto's ear*

Ganymede: *whispers something into Callisto's ear*

Callisto: *blushes, looking surprised* Uh... okay. *nods, then turns to Europa, grinning* Europa, you're up!

Europa: *nods, sprinting off in the direction of Io and the tree* Whatevs~

Ganymede: *watches Europa run off, grinning* Alright, Io, you can come down now!

Io: *climbs down from the tree, dusting herself off* Thanks, Ganymede! That was fun!

Callisto: *looks at Io and Europa, then back to Ganymede* You're enjoying this way too much... *rolls eyes, then glances to Jupiter by the distance, as Jupiter and Saturn's lips meet, and sparks ignite (Scott Pilgrim refference XD).*

Jupiter: *feeling the warmth spread through his body, a smile tugs at his lips* It's... so good to be back with you, Saturn. *leans in, kissing Saturn more passionately* I've missed you so much...

Saturn: *melts into the kiss, wrapping his arms around Jupiter* I've missed you too, my love. It's like coming home. *pulls back, smiling at Jupiter before looking around, noticing that the others are still nearby* We should probably go find somewhere more private...

Ganymede: NOW!!!

Narrator: With Ganymede's command, Europa brings them closer, Io and Callisto trip over an asteroid launching some Valentines day fireworks, as Jupiter and Saturn's kiss makes more sparks of love.

Ganymede: *grinning wickedly* Looks like they're taken care of. Go ahead and enjoy your privacy, you two!
