My Dear Pluto,

The fact that you have been stripped of your title just makes me sick. However, we must be strong during this time.

I keep my spirits up in these times by recalling that two week vacation we took to the Kupier Belt. Per chance those memories will serve you well, and keep your spirits aloft.

Yours,
Earth's Moon

Dear Solar System,

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.
It must be hard for any parent to outlive their offspring.
Please know, that while Pluto is gone in name, he still exists in the physical world.

If you were able to speed up his rotation, and slingshot him out to me, we would happily give him a good home.

Best,
The Andromeda Galaxy

Dearest Pluto,

I just heard the sad news. I know there is not much I can do for you during this time to console you. Just know that I am thinking of you, and wish I was able to change my course to see you sooner.

I have such fond memories of the time we last spent together.

I look forward to seeing you in 53 years.

Sincerely,
H. Comet

PS - I will bring you back some ice cubes on my next trip through.

Attn: Asteroid Number 134340,

First off, let me explain to you that is makes me sick to address you by this abomination of a name.

But, as a NASA employee, I must call you by your officially designated name.
I'm sure you understand.

However, I will always remember the man that was Pluto.

It was great to meet you and the other guys on my travels. You, however, do remain my favorite. And, I will live up to my promise and send you a post card from the Horse Head Nebulae.

Pluto,

I told you that you would never be able to hack it as a real planet.
To be one of us, it takes a lot more than just having the support of all of the worlds kindergartners.

I mean, look, I'm not saying you had to be like Saturn. He has us all beat with those awesome rings. None of us can even try to replicate that display of awesome. And we know what would happen if one of us were to try. I mean, come on, look at Uranus. He's lucky we still talk to him after all that. But, he really does have the best cosmic dust around so…..

But there are other things we can do besides have rings. I mean, Mars has been fooling everyone by pretending to have life. In fact, I think the jury is still out on that one. Actually having life would be a big victory for all of us - except that attention wh*re Earth. D*ck.

So, start working out again. Bulk up. Think of some fresh ideas, and try to get back on the horse. I told you that just being really far and cold wouldn’t last.

But whatever you do, don’t you dare encroach on my turf.
Being the hottest is my gig, and my mommy never taught me how to share, get me?

Still a planet,
Mercury

Pluto, my trusted friend,

This is a tragedy.

And to think it was just a few rotations back, when you had the guts to tell me the truth about my appearance, as everyone else was hiding it from me. I still have yet to call the plastic surgeon you recommended, but I will… and soon. I hope he can help with removing this large spot on me. I just can't live this storm lie any longer.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you wanted to come here and be one of my moons, the honor would be all mine. I could use a guy like you around.
