"Aaah!" the Sun screamed. "Aaah!" the Earth yelled. "We ran into each other!" they shouted at the same time.

When they calmed down, the Sun asked, "What's your name?" "My name is Earthy," replied the Earth. "What's your name?" "I'm Sunny," answered the Sun.

The two became fast friends. They wanted to learn more about each other, so they kept on asking questions. 

"Earthy," Sunny said, "I've always wondered what being a planet was like." "Wait, you're not a planet?" Earthy exclaimed. "But you're so planet-like!" 

"I know," Sunny said. "It's crazy how these things work out." Earthy was interested in Sunny. Earthy had never met a non-planet before. She was intrigued.

"So if you're not a planet, then what are you?" Earthy asked. "I'm a giant star," Sunny replied. "I'm made out of plasma." 

Sunny expected Earthy to be scared of her. After all, there weren't that many giant stars made out of plasma in the universe.

But to Sunny's surprise, Earthy didn't seem at all scared of Sunny. On the contrary, she seemed comfortable and happy around her.

"Wait, you're not scared of me?" Sunny asked Earthy. "Of course not! Why would I be? You're nice, kind, and respectful, and that's all that matters. Not what you are, where you come from, or what you like to do. None of that. All that matters is that you are a good star, and you are," Earthy said.

"Really?" Sunny exclaimed. "Really," Earthy said. "I promise." "Wow!" Sunny shouted enthusiastically. "Everybody I meet out here excludes me because I'm a star, not a planet. But that's gonna change real soon! I'll tell them what you just told me, and I'll be a legend!"
