## Synopsis

Milky Way goes on her very first adventure today; Her task is to find all her friends and make them all and herself gather up for a feast at Space Burger! She meets all the girls in the order: The Sun, Mercury, Venus, The Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and... huh? Where is Pluto?

## Plot

Milky Way wakes up and goes to brush her teeth, then takes a bath. While in the bath, The Sun calls her to ask if she can hangout with her and her friends. Milky Way tells that she's busy, as she is taking a bath.

After the bath, Milky Way dresses up and goes outside. She comes up to The Sun and compliments the song she was playing. The Sun says that she'll go into an adventure with Milky Way. They go to meet Mercury first. While walking, The Sun tells Milky Way about her band called "C.O.M.E.T.S" and asks which single is her favorite, and she responds with "Over the Galaxy" and "Starstruck" being her favorites. They do eventually meet Mercury, but, she trips as they come up to her because of her running very fast. The Sun and Milky Way invite her to go and meet Venus. While walking, Mercury asks if they can run together and see who's faster, but Milky Way denies it as she says that they are on the road right now, and running here is forbidden. They meet Venus while she's dancing ballet. Mercury whispers her name out which suprisingly scares Venus. She invites her to come to The Moon. While walking, she asks Mercury ans The Sun if they prefer hip hop or Ballet. Mercury says she prefers hip hop, as she finds ballet boring (Pluto has the same answer). The Sun says she can't choose between the two answers, as she loves all kinds of music. As Star, her younger sister is talking with The Moon, the girls come up to them. Although Milky Way offers The Moon for an adventure, she rejects the offer at first, as she'll take Star to elementary school, however, she does go with them. Milky Way says that she and her friends will go find Mars. While walking, The Moon asks Venus if she has read her poem, and Venus says that she has read it, and it even was so beautiful to her, that it made her tear up. They meet Mars as she is drawing herself. Milky Way says that she is messy and cleans her. She invites her to find Jupiter. While walking, Mars asks Milky Way if she has an account on GalactaArt (A MWGG variant of DeviantArt), and she says that if so, she should follow her. Milky Way says that she does have an account on there, and she loves her artwork on there, be it traditional or digital. They (the planet girls) meet her in the forest with some small animals, that being her pets (Possibly before she adopted them all). Jupiter goes with them. While walking Jupiter asks Milky Way if she went to one of the oldest forests in the Solar Sisterhood before finding her. Milky Way states that she hasn't but she said that according to the Holy Galaxy Book (A MWGG variant of the Bible) said that it was once a home to all the Via Galactica ancestors. They meet Saturn as she is remixing a piece with her DJ assets. The group of girls go to meeting Uranus. While walking, Saturn says that she should come to one of her parties soon, and Milky Way says that she will. They meet her near a school as she is reading a book and she tells them that they're distracting her. After that, they go to the beach to meet Neptune. They find her surfing. The last two girls, though, did not bother to ask any questions at all when walking with them. Milky Way tells her that they'll try to find Pluto and they'll go feast on some burgers.

Milky Way stops near a local park because she was walking for a long time. She suddenly hears a call from Uranus and she tells her that Pluto has gone missing as she and one of the other girls can't seem to find her. MIlky Way eventually finds Pluto, asking her what happened. Pluto explains that she had an accident while playing with Mercury. Milky Way and Pluto get to Neptune and Milky Way explains to Neptune what happened. Neptune states that she doesn't want junk food, as she ate alot of them today, and wants to take a small break from eating them.

At the local burger restaurant named Space Burger, we can see the girls waiting to feast on some burgers. We cut to Milky Way going home after eating burgers and gets called by Uranus and Neptune. Neptune offers her a "Video Game Night" to Milky Way, but, Milky Way rejects the offer, as she'll give up after only 30 minutes, as she is sleepy.

## Trivia

* This is the first episode where we meet the entire cast of The Planet Girls.
* This is the first episode which is in the Zodiac arc. This is also the first episode which is set in present time.
* There is space in Uranus' name between the a and the n. It was written like this: "Ura nus". This is because the word itself has "Anus" in it and it's considered inappropriate in Gacha Club because of that.

### Additional things from my co-worker, Alena

* I think this is one of the most boring episodes of the series, as a good chunk of it is just Milky Way meeting every Planet Girl one by one (this is not to offend the creator). The creator, then responds by saying "This is one of my least favorite episodes too. Not really interesting and not much to say about it". (POSSIBLE INTERVIEW WITH THE CREATOR OF THE FANSERIES COMING SOON?!)
* I actually listened to Ren and Stimpy's "Radio Daze" while writing this article! You can listen to it here. :)
