Planetary Links
In an odd sense, Peter was as much of a teenager as anyone would have thought someone to be like on earth, except for the fact that he wasn't born on earth, and he didn't live there either. Peter enjoyed going out and spending time with his friends, and playing games where he lived, just like any other boy his age living in the universe just next door. While they knew of the existence of earth, the people of planet Xhran didn't have any motivation to further expand their reaches.

She didn’t need to practice the alphabet; she had learned to read and write over two years ago, but her penmanship was improving, so I didn’t say anything. She was dressed in the white ‘nightdress’ I had made for her in the fashion of the seventeen hundreds.My little Betty is lucky I like crafting. Oh, right.
