I know there's no definitive answer, and it's probably unlikely, but I figured it'd be interesting to think about.

Anyways, we all know the Moon was formed when a Mars-like object smashed into Earth billions of years ago. What if there were two 'moons' ejected, one of which was/is Mars?

Mars, of course, would've been gravitationally assisted and ejected by our Moon from Earth's gravity/orbit, into the orbit of the Sun. Billions of years pass: after an unknown amount of asteroid/object collisions into Mars, along with the cosmic pull of every object slowly leaving its' parent's gravity, could eventually draw Mars into the orbit it's in now.
