Chapter 01: The Young Boy in the Weird Planet
After journeying around the universe it was finally time for the Little Prince to go back home to his home planet and back to his beloved rose. On his way back, he stumbled open an odd-looking planet that is shaped like a perfect sphere and is grayscale and pale for its color. He'd never seen such a perfectly shaped planet but lacks out of color. The curious prince decided to take a closer look at this odd planet.
Upon entering the atmosphere of the planet the little prince looked around. Anywhere he looked there were high-rise infrastructures. He had seen such infrastructures on Earth before and what he can recall are what he calls "buildings".
He walks towards the entrance of the building. The little prince looked up at the building. It was very tall and it looked like the highest part of the building was touching the skies. He continued to stare with awe at the high infrastructure in front of him.
"Hello there"
The Little Prince looked around to see who said that and saw a man in business attire. This man has greyish skin and he looked very pale. He also got big dark circles under his eyes. This man looked like all the other people in that place, however, he possesses a faded pink hair.
"Hello mister," the little prince greeted back at the man, "your pink hair is lovely"
The man's eyes widened. He looked around warily.
"Listen, kid," his voice suddenly became shaky, "please don't ever talk to me, or anyone else here in that way"
"That way?"
"Yes," the man replied with a worried look on his face, "THAT way"
"I don't understand" the little prince's brows furrowed.
The man let out a sigh. "Where did you come from?" he asked.
The little prince was about to answer when the man covered his mouth, "wherever you came from, go back to it quickly.
Get out of here and don't let them know where you came from." He whispered to the little prince.
"But why?" the little prince asked. Before the man could even reply a man in a blue uniform interrupted.
"What do we have here 32qx9?" the man in the blue uniform asked.
"This kid seems lost, I was just helping him find his way back," 32qx9 replied with a shaky voice.
"Helping a kid huh," the man in blue uniform looked at 32qx9 from head to toe. "That doesn't seem like something you should be doing, do you?"
32qx9 looked down, "I'm sorry, I'll be going now." He turned away from the little prince and began to step towards the entrance of the building.
"Thirty-two?" the little prince called.
32qx9 stopped walking.
"Go back to work," the man in the blue uniform ordered him. The man in the blue uniform took the little prince's hand and took him away from that place.

"What did that man tell you?" the man in the blue uniform asked.
It was never an attitude of the little prince to tell lies so he answered, "He told me not to compliment his lovely pink hair"
The two men in blue uniform who sit from across him looked at each other, then laughed.
"There's nothing to worry about then," one of them said.
"Yes I guess so," the man whom he was with answered, "tell that pink-haired guy to stop slacking on his work."
"I will," the other man replied and left.
"I have a lot of questions," the little prince started.
"Of course you do," the man answered in a somewhat annoyed tone, "so what is it?'
"If you please tell me what planet this is?" the curious little Prince asked the man in uniform.
"Oh why yes, this is planet Brurn-U6R5" the man answered.
"Why do those men look pale and sickly?" the Little Prince pointed to the men wearing suits going inside the buildings.
"Sickly? What do you mean by sickly?" the man looks at where the Little Prince is pointing, "They all look fine to me."
"I didn't intend to come off as rude but I haven't seen such men that are that pale before," the Little Prince told him.
The man in uniform laughed at him, "you know what, you're silly." the man continued to laugh while making fun of the Little Prince's words.
"May I know what's so funny with what I said?" the clueless Little Prince inquired.
The man wiped a tear on his eye and stroke his chest gasping for air because of so much laughter, "oh nothing. I think I know the right person you should be asking such question, come with me kid"
And so the Little Prince followed the man in uniform.
"Where are we going?" the Little Prince asked. He is currently seated inside the vehicle driven by the man in uniform.
"A place where curious little kids like you should be," the man answered.
The Little prince looked curious and the man saw this from his rear-view mirror, "don't worry, you'll like it there," the man added with a smile on his face.
This did not answer the little prince's question, and so he asked again; "but why-"
But he was cut-off by the man, "shush kid, just wait and see"
And so the little prince stopped asking and remained silent.
***
"Geez these annoying kids and their undying curiosity," the man rumbled silently but it was loud enough for the little prince to hear. The little prince heard this and became even more curious, but this time he chose to not ask.
The little prince looked outside the window and in every direction, he looked at he would see nothing else but tall colorless buildings and pale-looking men. Nothing was interesting he could gaze his eyes upon until he saw a kid running and being chased down by two men in uniforms.
"Get back here young lad!" one of the men shouted at the kid. The little prince watched as the two men try to catch up with the quick young boy. The young boy keeps on running headed in the direction of where the little prince was at. As the young boy passed by, he saw the little prince through the car window.
The young boy stopped and locked eyes with him then shouted "get out of there before it's too late!"
The little prince became both astonished and curious.
The man whom the little prince was with heard of this and accelerated the car even faster.
The young boy kept running and tried to catch up with the little prince, "open the door!" he shouted.
"But why?" the little prince shouted back.
The young boy who was chasing him was about to answer but the men chasing him caught him and covered his mouth, restricting him to speak any further.
The little prince spoke up, "please stop the car, I want to speak to that young boy".
The man didn't answer instead he made the car go even faster.
"I want to get down now please, "the little prince spoke again, this time with a louder voice.
"You don't need to do that," the man replied, "the only person you'll be needing to speak with is the person we're going to right now."
"Who is this person?" the little prince asked.
The man smirked, "oh you'll find out soon enough."
