Fiction Rocketship Titanic

It’s all aboard the Rocketship Titanic as she makes her maiden voyage from Australia to Mars. Captain Jack, his girlfriend Rose and his grandma Nelly wave goodbye to their friends and family just before take off. The Rocketship Titanic blasts off and is on her way to Mars when unexpectedly she is hit by a near earth asteroid and a large whole is created on the main deck and almost half of her escape pods are destroyed. Captain Jack makes a snap decision and orders all the woman and children into the remaining escape pods but his girlfriend Rose refuses to go. I’d rather die in space with you than live on earth without you. Captain Jack explains that as the girlfriend of the captain she has to set an example. But can’t you just  hide me somewhere and pretend that I’ve left? Captain Jack realises that the time for talk is over and it’s time for action, he hits Rose with a stiff European uppercut but Rose is only dazed but not down so he follows it up with a roundhouse kick to the side of her head. Finally   unconscious he drags her to an escape pod and launches it back to Australia. He then makes certain that Grandma Nelly is inside an escape pod. He sees her climbing into an escape pod and she looks him right in the eye, points a bonny finger at him and says, I told ya not ta call yer ship the Rocketship Titanic, I told ya it would only lead ta trouble, but ya didn’t listen too me did ya? Grandma Nelly then slams the escape pod door shut and launches herself back to Australia. Meanwhile the men on the Rocketship Titanic slowly suffocate while the band play’s Waltzing Matilda.
