Yep. Valentine's Day.
It's an excuse to give candy and silly notes to people on my Earth, along with the other things, so I thought I'd have some fun.

Well that's what it is on my Earth too. At least, in the West. Where I'm from it's more a couple's holiday.
Well, there are a lot of couples here. At least some people get to have some fun with it.
It's true. My girlfriend and I have rented a cabin actually.
Really? The two of you must have had a good time then.
A friend of mine who just got in town recently would be jealous. I've known him for over a year now, and he's never had any luck with girls!

Well we've been seeing one another since October. And she's been one of my closest friends since I was fifteen. Honestly, it's less about having luck and more about just getting to know one another.
Regardless, that sounds pretty nice.
He thanks you, by the way. My friend. He's the one who exfoliates more than some girls do.

Yeah? For what, the suggestion about the house?
Shiro's grateful too, but Lance was absolutely stoked with the soaps you helped me pick out.
We've been using alien products for a while. They're okay, but they weren't made with human biology in mind. Finding a place dominated by humans again has been better than I thought.

That's fair. I'd forgotten about the soaps.
How far out into space are you guys, anyway?
How far out into space are you guys, anyway?
Far enough away that we can't even find Earth on the charts. Not without searching really closely, anyway.
You won't believe how much you miss the little things out there. Like books. And pizza. We all flipped out when we got here, because it's been way too long since we had anything familiar.

I would believe it, actually.
I spent some time on the Tenth Planet. Out beyond Pluto. It's not fun being separated from home at all.

Wait, the Tenth Planet's actually been discovered on your Earth? That's still something no one's been able to fully verify on mine. We've got the calculations and data that prove it must be there, but that's all so far.
Nemesis? Yes, that's very real. It exists on your reality too?
Only in the numbers. It's still so unconfirmed that we haven't named it yet.
On the other hand, we did discover Pluto's second moon, Kerberos. It'd make sense for the Tenth Planet to be called Nemesis with that naming theme.

If it's like the Nemesis on my world, it's not detectable by normal means. It's made of dark crystal, and refracts light away from it. Gravity is the only way to really tell it's there.
I never thought of that one. If dark crystal is anything like dark matter, then it's no wonder we haven't found it yet. The effects it has on the gravity for the rest of the solar system are all we've got to go by.
It's a shame that we can't share that detail with everyone at home. The scientific community would go nuts!

Well, you may not want to go looking at it too hard. It's hidden for a reason. Mainly, the dark crystal is evil. It's basically distilled black magic.
No offense intended, but that sounds a lot like something out of a crazy sci-fi flick. Magic's actually a thing on your Earth?
It's not offense. But it should be obvious. Have I not talked to you about magic at all before?
Well, yeah. The small stuff, though. Not evil planets.
Well, with a name like Nemesis, what do you expect?
With all of Pluto's moons being named after other beings from the underworld? I choose to be non-judgemental.
Well this one's rather aptly named.
Also there's nothing wrong with Pluto. He was just lonely and misunderstood.

Isn't that the case with all the classic myths?
[If it wasn't lonely and misunderstood, it was a certain someone not being able to contain his impulses...]
But I'll keep that in mind in this case. And hope that the tenth planet in my system isn't made of dark magic.
