“Which one? There are many of them.”

(:

"The Earth is the third planet away from the sun. In our solar system I mean. There are lots more though."

Moony tilted his head this way and that like a doggo.
“So this planet?”

"Is going around the sun, with the moon, and eight other planets are also going around the sun."
(pluto is a planet fight me)

Moony shook his head. “That is very odd.”

"Is it? I don't think so."

“I haven’t heard of such a thing in my home. Nor have I heard of eight planets.”

"You don't know about the planets?! How? Can't you see them?"

Moony tilted his head. “I guess I never paid attention.”

"They're hard to see but Venus is the closest to Earth. See, that bright thing up there." She pointed up to a significantly bright star.

Moony looked up and squinted. “Oh, there. The greenish one?”

"Yeah! And if you find that constellation over there, the one that looks like a spoon, and follow the tail, you can find the north star."

“What…” Moony tailed off. He wasn’t sure what any of those words were.

Echo giggled and continued pointing out stars. "And that one's Sirius, and Betelgeuse, and Vega over there."

Moony just saw little specks. He didn’t understand dirt-planet people assigning names to them.

"You look very confused. Have you never seen a star before?"

“No. I just don’t understand. Why would you name them?”

"So you know what to call them of course. How else would you know which ones they were?"

Moony tilted his head. “Why would you need to know what they were?”

"Cause…cause..you just do!"

Moony looked at her. “That’s not a reason.”

"But…I don't know why they have names. Why do you have a name? Do you have a name?"

“Yep, my name is Moony. Or people call me that, for some reason. Do you have a name.”

"Cause you're from the moon. That's fun." She giggled. "My name is Echo."

“Hello Echo. I am not entirely sure why your name is Echo but.”
