Lavinia rolled out of bed, groaning as she slumped across the room. Light glared through the window into her eyes, waking her up and giving her a headache. She got to her closet and grabbed a light purple sweater, a pair of jeans, and black dress shoes.

After putting them on, she grabbed a cinnamon roll and heated it up in the microwave. While waiting for it to finish she grabbed her blueprints and pencils. Once it finished microwaving, she took it out and put it in her mouth while running out the door.

Pelican wings grew out of her back, expanding while she kept running. She flew up into the morning sky, trying to make it to work as swiftly as she could. In midair she found Onyx, flying as quickly as possible with bluebird wings, holding two to-go coffee cups.

Lavinia beat her to work, pulling out her blueprints and laying them down on the table and taking out a group of pens and pencils. Onyx flew down, breathing heavily while handing her a cup of coffee. She took it from her, holding her hand while she caught her breath.

It took a few minutes until she could properly breathe, and she took a drink of her coffee. Lavinia sketched their model of the solar system, perfectly creating the vision in her head. One of her other employees showed up, shortly followed by the last two.

They all stared at her sketch, puzzled by the third planet. One man, his name was Cormac, asked, "Why is that one different? All the others by it are rocky and warm colors. Why is this one green and blue?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10VGqbsaWz
She didn't answer, focused on adding detail to the sketch. He restated his question, getting more impatient. The others stared at her expectantly, waiting for an answer. She sighed, "We need beings to watch over, so I'm making that one the perfect temperature with the perfect resources."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml5lgPQezF
He raised an eyebrow skeptically, "So, what will we be looking after exactly? What will this do for us?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRxqyzN8zm
Lavinia revising her sketch, answering without even hearing him. "They will look similar to us and offer us items in exchange for our help."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqo63jNAYo
She hung up the sketch of the solar system on the wall, observing it as if it was a prized piece of art. Onyx followed behind her, putting a hand on her shoulder and examining the drawing.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJTP6QZRZn
Onyx asked, "So, shall we get started?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaem5wSG2oE
Lavinia strolled towards the supply closet, searching among their resources. Everything they needed was in there, plus she supposed the last week she had spent dreaming of her universe could become a reality today.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGgdBhVRkN
The workers all grabbed the needed supplies for making the planets, each getting separate planets. Lavinia claimed Mercury, Venus, and Earth. Onyx received Mars, Saturn, and Pluto. Cormac picked Uranus and Neptune. The other two both worked on Jupiter, the moons, and other dwarf planets together.

After they finished, the day was over, and Cormac was grumbling angrily, something about doing more work than any of them. They all got back, took their pay, afterwards they immediately left. All except for Onyx and Lavinia.

Lavinia thought she was all alone, so she leaned against the table with her head in her hands. Onyx strode in and saw her, so she rushed over to her. She hugged Lavinia until she was pushed away. Lavinia inquired, "You should be at home, why are you here?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3139aqBuU
Onyx kissed her cheek lightly, next replied, "I'm here because I wanted to ask why you seemed a bit off today. Now I'm even more curious. Lavvvv you gotta tell meeeee."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuVv7VcSu6
Lavinia pushed her away but grabbed her hand to hold. She replied, "We need to go home, I'll tell you there."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8DZ1aT0U2
Onyx settled with that, not arguing as they held hands while flying off into the sky until Lavinia broke off, flying quicker than her. She didn't even bother to increase her flight speed, already getting tired from flying around so much today.

Once the two arrived at Lavinia's home, they sat on the couch, eating spaghetti with garlic bread. Onyx set her bowl down and wiped her face. She reminded, "Hey, you told me you would tell. Now tell."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hlhVy7tl6
Lavinia did the same as Onyx, then put her hair into a ponytail. She replied, "I'm not sure how this is going to work. This entire project is my responsibility, all of you guys only follow my instructions, so if I mess up, you mess up, then the galaxy is messed up."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzjFjtrybc
Onyx scooted over to her and threw her arms around her. She stated, "Lavie, you made this entire thing possible and without you it would only be us here with nothing to do. You're one of the most crucial beings here and you'll be remembered for millennia."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VqkSvmMXJ
Lavinia patted Onyx's head, then spoke, "It's not that terrible now, I swear. Thank you for reassuring me though."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdn6ytJCfh
Onyx nodded, then waited for a few minutes until she blurted, "Sooooo, do you want me to go or what?" She gazed up at Lavinia who laughed.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKflQjEFyeM
Lavinia sighed, "Well, I suppose you could stay, I wouldn't mind."255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOs4R7TF77

They sat on the couch for the next several hours, talking, reading, playing games, eating, then finally falling asleep.
