“Insignificant. That’s what they think of us.”
“I respectfully disagree commander. I’m sure they never intended to hurt our feelings. In fact there was a lot of support for us from the masses.”
“Our feelings? You must be joking. Those ignorant fools don’t even know we exist. I never agreed with our President to adapt their culture and language. Our language had 531 alphabets. A whole 504 more than this stupid English we have adapted ourselves too.”
“You mean 505, sir. But the whole point was too simplify our communication systems. Also, it would have made rehabilitation easier to their planet if we ever had troubles on our own.”
“We are a far superior race. We can not possibly get into any trouble these earthlings could help us with. The only thing they seem good at is increasing their numbers. Their numbers increase in integral proportions. I’m amazed how they do that when their species possesses only one genitalia per specimen. Its shocking.”
“Erm. I’m sure they are good at other things too. Sir. We have observed and implemented other systems from them too. Like their judicial process. By not killing anyone who committed a crime and having them imprisoned after having them tried in the court has both increased our relatively negligent population and also increased employment prospect. Not to mention their game of football. You do realize a petition has been made to convince other planets to take up the sport too and maybe, then we can have interplanetary club teams and all the planets can compete in galaxy cups every held every century. The possibilities are limitless. It’ll help in establishing peace across the universe and understand new life and new civilizations.”
“Did you just quote Star Trek on me? You know I hate that thing. Universe is not something you can dress pretty and talk your way through. You’ll be disintegrated even before you step out of your solar system. Leave alone your galaxy. Now, Firefly I can relate too. But don’t ever mention Star Trek again.”
“I’m sorry sir. Won’t happen again.”
“I see we’ve reached within range. Shoot the fizziles.”
“Are you sure you want to do this sir? This may be considered as an act of war.”
“An act of war would have been had I shot them with gizziles and annihilated their race. This will only stun them for an hour. Let them know, Pluto is a planet. And we Plutonians don’t take kindly to be ignored or their planet to be demoted off the solar system.”
“Acknowledged.”
Loved the ending. It is good to know that even aliens have their pride. I will make a mental note never to put down a Plutonian.
Wise choice Ric, wise choice.
I wanted to take a break from serious writing and write a senseless fun piece.
I love Pluto. It’ll always be a planet to me.
OMG!! Totally loved it
:) And Micky – ‘fizziles’ won my heart over 
I love the fact that you loved it.
wow – who knew the plutonians would be so sensitive? (it will always be a planet to me, stuffed-shirt astonomers nonwithstanding.) love the sly humor and indignation in this – a good shot of fizziles ought to silence that absurd debate once and for all.
I wrote that exact same line to Ric! What are the odds!
What can I say but – if you can’t win them stun them.
Awwwwwesome!!:)
Pluto used to be my favorite planet in school and the reason was only coz mickey’s pet was pluto too….
and seriously….fizzles and gizziles was great!!
loved it!
Thank you. I know it was Mickey’s pet. How can I forget. I spent a large part of my salad days explaining to everyone that my nick-name was Micky without an “e” and “Mickey” – so adding a mouse to it was just dumb.
Very nice!! Loved the ending!
Thanks mate.
hahahaha..loved it! super amusing without trying too hard to be so..=D
