p class="MsoNoSpacing" I don't remember much of the beginning. I didn't see much of anything at first, only the light of the other stars from within their palaces and halls. They seemed so happy, with all their friends inside. It seemed like only a far-off dream. But eventually, I built a humble ballroom. It didn't seem much at all, until the first few planets started showing up. They danced around me, swirling, twirling, colliding with each other, finding partners to dance with. Some found one, some found many, and two seemed content dancing by themselves. At last, I was no longer alone./p
p class="MsoNoSpacing"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /spanOf all the planets around me, little Mercury has always been the closest. Speeding around without really caring that he's dancing by himself. Of course, Venus isn't much different in that regard, twirling around with her haughty heir. Earth doesn't seem to take to kindly to her. I've heard her whispering to her partner such things, but she'll come around eventually. Then there's Mars, dancing among the asteroids. It seems he thinks of Earth as a little sister, always whispering words of encouragement to her./p
p class="MsoNoSpacing"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /spanLet's not forget of course, friendly Jupiter, elegant Saturn, eccentric Uranus with his sister Neptune, and of course, little Pluto. As they all dance around me, I look off into the distance. I know there will be many more to come and go in time. My ballroom will always be open as long as I am here to watch them dance around me./p
