"'Get the girls'?" Pluto cocked his head slightly to the side, confused. His hood fell off of his head, leaving his fluffy, platinum blond hair a bit disheveled. "How do you mean?"

"You should talk to Kai about it…I'm sure he has a specific girl in mind," Beau teased, looking up towards his older brother in an attempt to bother him. "Or Cas," he added, jabbing a thumb towards their other sibling.

“I heard my name!” Cas piped in

"Yeah, Beau said I should talk to you about 'getting girls' or something? I don't understand exactly what he's trying to tell me?"

“Get the girls means that girls come and talk to you. They will hang out with you.” He states

Mercury snorted. “None of you are even old enough to date yet and you’re already giving out advice.”

“Well that’s what Abby told me at school!” Can exclaimed

"Date? As in the dried fruit, correct?" Pluto still seemed to have no idea what was going on. "And what if I don't want to hang out with girls? I'm perfectly happy just staying here with you guys."
(When you want to steal your planet child and keep him)

“Well then we shall keep you here and lock you up so you can’t leave!@ cas smiles slyly

"You should talk to Kai about it…I'm sure he has a specific girl in mind," Beau teased, looking up towards his older brother in an attempt to bother him. "Or Cas," he added, jabbing a thumb towards their other sibling.

Kai glared at him. "I –I do not!" He crossed his arms, slouching. "Even if I did, it's none of your business."

Mercury smiled. This was adorable. “Pluto, when two- or sometimes more- people like eachother in a romantic sense, sometimes they want to go and do activities together, with just each other. Doing that is called dating.”

Pluto took a moment to take in the information. "But why? It doesn't have anything to do with the fruit? Who all does it apply to? Can only people of a certain age partake in 'dating'?"

"It's simple, kid, you're over complicating it," Kai pointed out. "It's like best friends, but with kissing. There's no set age or anything."

“Um.. Well the English language doesn’t like being normal, so no, it doesn’t have anything to do with the fruit, and it applies to anyone who feels romantic attraction towards another person who feels it back. And, I guess you can date at any age, but a lot of people think that you should only start being in relationships when you’re 14/15.” Mercury explained.

"Kissing?" How could this not be complicated? It just seems to get more confusing as we go on… "But… I couldn't date anyone, could I? I mean, there's no way I'm old enough. I'm six! It's not like I could drive myself anywhere to do anything."

"It's simple, kid, you're over complicating it," Kai pointed out. "It's like best friends, but with kissing. There's no set age or anything."

Mercury tilted his head. “Kind of? Not every couple wants to kiss though. I’ve been in a relationship where we didn’t kiss at all.”

(my cousin had a "boyfriend" when she was six…had her first kiss this year and she's eight. she and her sister have very exciting love lives lol)

"I mean, you could," Kai mused, "but it doesn't mean you should."

"Kissing?" How could this not be complicated? It just seems to get more confusing as we go on… "But… I couldn't date anyone, could I? I mean, there's no way I'm old enough. I'm six! It's not like I could drive myself anywhere to do anything."

“There’s no pressure to date anyone. Some people never want to. Some people don’t like dating people. And you don’t have to go to anywhere important to go on a date. Sometimes couples just want to stay in.” Mercury said.

"This is making my head hurt… how do people do this all the time?" Pluto rubbed his temple absently. "I find out that a date's not a fruit, and… I dunno what else even… do you just date people forever or what?"

Mercury sighed. “Well, sometimes you do that. Other times, you might continue dating a specific person/persons your whole life. Sometimes couples get married. Sometimes they break up.”

(never kissed anyone either but mostly because i was v v sheltered)

Kai shrugged. "Seriously, don't overthink it. You don't have to worry about it if you don't want to. And like Merc said, no need for kissing. The girl I'm into doesn't like that type of stuff, but I don't care."

"Married? Like mum and dad? Is that why they wear rings all the time?"

(I kissed a boy when I was somewhere between 2 and 4 and he goes to my school now so I kinda avoid him lol. i don't think he remembers it but my siblings won't ever let me forget)

(I kissed a girl when I was 6 and she and I were best friends until she moved schools.)

"Married? Like mum and dad? Is that why they wear rings all the time?"

(There is no dad….)

“Yeah, sometimes couples decide that they love each other so much that they want to get married. Most of the time they’ll get rings to show that.” Mercury said. “And.. sometimes, when couples don’t love each other anymore, or they decide that they can’t be together anymore for whatever reason, they’ll break up. If the couple’s married, then they’ll get a divorce.”
