"I spy with my little eye something green!" Earth chirped. She bounced up and down excitedly. She loved playing this game. It was always interesting to see what the others saw. And it was always fun to play with multiple people. She wagged her tail, waiting to see who would be the first to guess correctly what she saw.

"Um..." Saturn mumbled, squinting his eyes. Rolling his light greenish yellow ones, Mercury grumbled, "The tree." Saturn flicked his tail, disappointed that he didn't get it first. He waited and listened as Mercury took his turn.

Laying in the soft meadow grass nearby, the Sun sighed in content as he watched the kittens play their game. It had been two years since he had adopted Mercury and brought him home. The young terrestrial planet kitten was a handful, constantly trying to find new ways to escape. He clearly wasn't one for settling down. Thankfully, he seemed to stop a few months ago. But only time will tell whether he'll go back to his old tricks.

"Is it... the rock we're on?" Saturn guessed, looking down at the rock they were sitting on. It was Mercury's turn and he had said he saw something gray. The small terrestrial planet kitten nodded his head solemnly. Then he yawned and went to lay down. Still wanting to play though, Earth squeaked, "You got it! Your turn Saturn!"

"Oh, um... I spy with my little eye... um... something..." Saturn mumbled, stuttering. Earth sat next to him, anxious to guess what he saw. Her tail wagged a million miles per hour. Watching the two, the Sun noticed that Saturn was squinting. He still hadn't picked out something either. Heaving himself to his paws, he was about to approach the planet kittens when Saturn finally declared, "I spy something blurry!"

"Okay! It's- wait, what?" Earth asked, tilting her head to the side. She didn't see anything blurry other than the buildings beyond the park's walls. Perplexed, she murmured, "Um... is it a tree again?"

"Earth, hang on a second," the Sun spoke softly, padding over. With a brief nod of her head, she went over to play with Mercury. Sitting down next to Saturn, the Sun asked quietly, "Saturn? Is everything okay?" Hanging his head, Saturn didn't answer the question. He was trembling though. Wrapping his tail around the gas planet kitten, the star cat asked, "What's wrong?"

"I... I can't see anything clearly..." Saturn whimpered. His ears were pinned back against his head in shame. The Sun could've sworn he saw a tear running down his cheek. Nuzzling the gas planet kitten lovingly, the star cat licked the tear away before he meowed softly, "It's okay, we'll fix this."

"How?" Saturn asked.
