Earth turns up on the vacation she wasn't invited to and finds all the other planets in the solar system in the hot tub--even Pluto! Then she discovers exactly why: it looks like she has fleas! Yuck. Earth asks everyone to take a look inside her atmosphere, and they're amazed by what they see . . . birds, fish, creatures galore, and yes, even fleas.
