I dunno. Saturn ain't all that.

What was it like?

Windy. The seasons are long.

Kinda a hide-away for criminals. Wasn't very advanced or overly inhabited.

So you don't miss it?

No, not really. Should I?

You should feel however you feel.

I just know when I finally got back to Earth, it was, like...like I just felt right for the first time in a long, long time.

Maybe it's 'cause you were meant to be on Earth.

What about you?

...I think this is home.

Then there's no place like this.

Nope. No place like this.

No kid like you.

In the good way.

Aw shucks.

Thanks, Dad.

Sorry your planet sucks, Squirt.

Hey, they can't all rock.

What's got you thinkin' about Earth and stuff?

~~My...father.~~

My brains.

Hey, you know we're taking Gwen's 'rents out to dinner tonight, right?

~~...Oh?~~

Ah.

Where are we going?

~~Don't worry about it.~~

Barbecue.

Hopefully they'll be on their best behavior, but you know Tennysons.

~~S'on your mind, so it's on mine.~~

Oooh. Sounds good!

I know, right?

~~It's like the Tennysons keep saying: doesn't matter what you've done: just what you're doing. Doesn't matter where you've been: just where you are. Earth is my home planet. Even if it really ain't.~~

Can't take 'em anywhere.

~~Course Earth is your home planet. I mean, Gwen and Ben's home planet isn't Anodine. This is home.~~

Crazy. All of 'em.

So. If Morningstar shows up, can I smash him?

~~Dunno if Grams agrees.~~

Aw, 'course you can.

~~Mom does though.~~

He's obnoxious.

~~And she's much less insane.~~

You should have seen him when he had a sparkly trail.

~~...Verdona's a little eccentric, isn't she?~~

He keeps going on about how I don't know who I'm messing with and rawr, I should be afraid. I kinda want to tell him that puh-lease. He ain't even Vilgax status. He's kinda arrogant isn't he?

~~Yes.~~

He's just all ticked off he got turned into the Phantom of the Opera.

Pfft. He's lucky that's all you did to him.

I know. We could have made him...what's some other musical? Cats?

Uhm. No idea. Musical theatre isn't my thing.

Terrifying. (http://thevoidstuff.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/catstop.jpg)

Mine either, but I am a New Yorker. That stuff's inescapable.

Yes. That.

And you've been all sorts of places, haven't you?

Yup.

Nothing feels like Earth.
