This is just a fun story about Team Galactic's 6 new commanders. Mercury, Venus, Terra, Neptune and Uranus are from another planned story from about a year ago but I never worked much on it, the old Pluto was changed from a girl to a guy for this one. Contains OC ships, Jovian, and... Cyrus/Mars aka I can't spell it lol. Tis my new project, but don't worry, there's many a one-shot in reserve! Read, review, and thanks for looking! )
"Commander Jupiter, you appear to be bored and not doing anything productive. Would you care to introduce Commander Pluto to the others? Show him around. I do not care if you do not care to, do it anyways," Cyrus emotionlessly ordered the magenta-haired female, who rolled her eyes and bobbed her head, imitating him.
"Well sure, since there's no way out of it. Hi Pluto, I'm Jupiter. The other failures, I mean, commanders, are off eating lunch, so let's go," she introduced herself, shaking hands with the tall, skinny man. He was standing in a shadow, making it hard to see his face, but he had deep violet hair and violet eyes, with little metallic pink highlights.
"Hello," he shyly waved, keeping his face hidden from her view. Shrugging, she led him to the Commander-Only recreation room, where the other seven were sitting around.
Throwing open the door and revealing an assortment of people dressed in black and white, Jupiter announced they had another new commander. "ANOTHER one?! Cyrus has gone on a hiring spree," a red-headed female groaned, turning to look at the other people.
"Miss Whiny is Mars. The macaroni-haired girl is Mercury, the brunette with perfect curls is Venus, Terra has the multicolored mane, the guy with blue hair and eyes is Saturn, black and periwinkle head is Uranus, hehe, and turquoise top is Neptune. Team, this is our new commander, Pluto," the magenta-eyed woman announced. Her voice took on a softer tone when she mentioned Saturn and a jealous hint when she introduced Terra.
"Hi Commander Pluto," they all said at once. He nervously waved, signifying all the greeting he was giving.
"Find a place to sit down and eat something, lunch will be over in like half an hour," Jupiter turned to Pluto and pushed him towards an open seat. She herself plopped on the left side of Saturn, whose right was closely guarded by Terra.
The females glared at each other, and Venus and Mars snickered.
The new male sat in a corner by himself, shadowed and hidden, observing the interactions of the others.
White-eyed Mercury was leaning against lavender-eyed Neptune, feeding him slices of peach. Her hair was three spheres in a row running across the back of her head from ear to ear. His glacial sea mane was a soft curl upwards, like a crashing wave. Next to her slender form, which was clothed in a white jean skirt over black leggings, white heels and a typical black and white Galactic shirt, sat Uranus, black stripes shaped in spikes tilted up and periwinkle striped spikes tilted down.
Neptune's uniform was the reverse colors of Saturn's, and Uranus' was similar, only with loose shorts instead of pants. His leg hairs were an odd mix of black and periwinkle. Like his hair, his eyes were a swirled combination of cornflower blue and forest green.
Terra was on the other side of Uranus, and she was in a similar uniform to Jupiter's, only more white, and a lot more areas cut out. In fact the only areas left were a strip across her boobs, and something slightly more covering than a bikini around her waist. Her blue, green and white hair was separated into three pigtails, based on color, arranged in a triangle. Golden eyes glistened lovingly at the man next to her, also known as Saturn.
Across from Terra sat Venus, whose brunette curls had changed little. The only thing that had changed was her uniform was now black and white instead of pink, and the crescent moon had been ditched. Next to her was Mars, and across from her was Jupiter.
Pluto, short, shaggy violet hair, and solid black uniform, sat in the corner, watching how only Saturn seemed to be friendly to Venus, and Jupiter and Terra were both clinging to Saturn, and Mars talked to everyone, and Uranus had tourettes and would shout strange things at random times.
"So Saturn are you doing anything tonight?" Terra would seductively ask, winking at him, but Jupiter always pulled him away so he couldn't answer.
The red-eyed commander looked at a clock and announced it was time to get back to work, leading the group out. Jupiter, turning around, motioned for Pluto to follow. He rose and tagged along, watching the others split up and proceed to their presumable tasks. A grunt ran up to him, giving him his assignment for the day.
Calculate the resources required to fly to the moon and set up a base there. Why did he of all people have to get stuck with such a meaningless task? Walking to the office Cyrus had said was his, he found it locked. Wondering who would be inside, he knocked on the door, and was greeted by the feminine voice of Venus. "Oh, Pluto, is that you? I forgot Cyrus said we have to share an office, sorry," she apologetically darted to the door and opened it. "I usually leave the door locked so nobody can barge in," the brunette explained, relocking it once he was inside.
"Oh, that makes sense. I'll just sit over at my desk in the corner and compute massive amounts of information on lunar landings," he smiled and giggled nervously, but since he was always hiding his face under a shadow she couldn't see.
Venus laughed, sitting back at her own desk. "For my first assignment Cyrus had me estimate every grain of rice eaten, count through every grain we currently had, and predict the future rice grain demands for the next twenty years under at least a hundred different circumstances. He didn't trust me since I was on Team Cipher previously," she explained, eating a bowl of rice at the moment.
"I remember hearing about you. You had the radio show, right? Why'd you leave such a nice life?" the male curiously asked, turning to face her, but still remaining shadowed.
"Well, the guys there were all a bunch of horny losers who needed to get laid, but not by me. And… my show started to lose popularity. Saturn, who I've been friends with since we were in elementary school, suggested I come here, so I did," shrugging, she returned to her work.
Pluto nodded his head and focused on the most efficient fuel type.

"Commanders, how did introducing the new Commander go?" Cyrus' emotionless voice disturbed the momentary silence in the now-shared office of Saturn and Jupiter. "Okay do we have enough people referred to as 'commander' around here? Start adding names or something, man," Saturn rolled his eyes, tossing his pen on the table, tired of signing documents.
"No."
"Well in any case, Pluto's a weird one. He sat off by himself. He seems like a nice guy but I dunno, like, super-shy too, you know?" Jupiter, ignoring or oblivious to the previous small squabble, remarked, leaning back and thinking about the newest addition.
Saturn frowned, and said he was sure Pluto was a real prince charming.
Cyrus nodded and left. "So you think he's a nice guy, hm?" the male turned and crossed his arms. "Well I mean he wasn't like 'get out of my face dirty skank' or anything like Terra was. Why?" magenta-hair and a slightly-pink-face scowled at the other commander.
"Oh you just seem to have a high opinion of a guy you just met," he brushed off her question. "Aha I know what it is. You're jealous of him since you think I have a crush on him. That's sweet, really it is, but quite unnecessary worrying," her magenta eyes glimmered mischievously, looking into his narrowed blue ones.
Pursing his lips, he glared at her, "Now why would I be jealous of some new guy? In fact why would I be jealous of anyone?" "Because you don't want anyone moving in on me? And you need a date for the Sadie Villain's Dance which is in like two weeks."
"Well, if I just don't want any guys making any moves or trying anything on my officemate, that doesn't make me jealous, does it? And I could always go with Terra, you know," smirking as he watched her face contort at the mention of the rival female, he relaxed, having the upper hand.
"Terra will give you AIDS. Why would you want to go with her? Make Uranus get stuck with her skanky butt or something. I'm much more of a quality date than she'll ever be. Wait, why wouldn't you want me getting involved with another guy, hm?"
"Oho now YOU seem jealous… over Terra of all the people to be jealous of. Girl you should know by now I'd never go anywhere with her. Uranus can HAVE her for all I care, they already share an office, I bet they're off like sharing AIDS in it right now," the two laughed at the thought of awkward, lanky and neurotic Uranus boning slutty Terra on top of her desk.
"Well alright, if you wouldn't ever consider her, then I won't ever consider Pluto. And yeah, they probably are, too bad Mercury and Neptune are right next to us so we can't listen in. You didn't answer my question though."
"Oh, well, I uh wouldn't want you to because… well if you did then I might have to go with Terra! And I like hanging out with you… speaking of which are you busy tonight?"
"I'd never make you go with Terra, and yes, I am busy, doing something with you."
"Oh ok good. Once work's over, dinner?"
"Sure."
