Earth was formed a long, long time ago. So where Jupiter and Mars. Jupiter had a crush on on Earth, but Earth was not interested.

Mars, however, was a thriving planet full of life and was a great dresser who always covered himself in the finest of grasses, flowers and trees.

Every day, they would talk to each other and flirt, making Jupiter increasingly jealous.

One day, Mars asked Earth out and Earth said yes. This was the final straw for Jupiter, who had bumped into Mars, knocking Mars into Earth and all life from Mars rolled off him and onto Earth’s surface.

Mars tried to fight back, and barley managed to push itself off Earth and punched Jupiter in the face giving Jupiter a giant red spot that now a days we call “Jupiters storm.”

Jupiter blew his hot as fire breath on Mars, turning Mars into a desert. Earth told the two of them to stop fighting, and they agreed. It became uncomfortable for the three of them to see each other after that, so they spent the rest of eternity awkwardly avoiding each other and spinning in circles around the sun in order to see as little of each other as possible.

To this day, they still awkwardly avoid each other. This is why they rotate at their own pace around the universe, slowly floating in circles. It is also why Mars and Jupiter are red, they are still blushing from embarrassment.

On the upside, all Martian life is now thriving on Earth. Earth covers herself in the beautiful Martian grasses and trees, and uses her vast waters to keep her new style fresh and thriving, as well as feed all the other beautiful and intelligent species accidentally gifted to her from her old boyfriend Mars.

We’re all from the same place. Let us all live in peace together.
