-Third Person POV-

An unknown volcano erupts causing the ground to shake leading to the Jupiter to shake too, alerting the others of the near-by volcano that just erupted. [Y/n], along with many others go to the front of the Jupiter to check out what it was, staring at the now erupting volcano. Will, the smart 11-year old states from his observation that it was always there, just disguised as a mountain, making Maureen order everyone to strap down while also explaining that the ride will get bumpy.

[Y/n] being the extra person on board had to get help from Penny because they've never really put on a 'suit' like this, in the meantime the two adults talk. Everyone stares at Smith like she had the magic powers, while [Y/n] finally got the hang of it she looks at the robot with hatred, maybe the robot was a nice guy but right now it's been nothing but a metal barrier that Smith uses.

"The audacity this robot has" they whisper under their breath, fully knowing that the robot doesn't have an 'audacity' but it felt like it anyways. Settling in the chair, [Y/n] still had the strength to grow flowers and vines outside of the 'suit' even tho it can only be close to their body, seeing as there was no actual ground anywhere that could sustain them on the Jupiter.

Finally putting on the helmet a wave of worry washes over [Y/n], but they push it down for now, looking at the Robinson's while they look back, they felt safe enough. "Goodbye, 'home' I'll see you when you aren't littered with volcanoes...which is never." [Y/n] sadly whispered.

Then the liftoff hit-- it was very bumpy.

Maureen's voice came over, the Robinson's, their friend, the robot, and the lying doctor, were finally welcomed in space. [Y/n] has never been to space but they had nothing to worry about, nothing. As Will throws his ball, expecting it to just float around, miraculously it landed back down, signaling that there was gravity on the ship. They all took of their helmets after Maureen explained her confusion too, on why there was gravity.

What they didn't know was the alien engine hidden under the chariot was the cause for all of this. Victor dhar communicates directly from the resolute, meaning that they've made it back safely. Victor explains his gratitude that they've all made it back safely because of the Robinson's, however he also expresses concern as there was a black hole lurking around in the area making it extremely treacherous.

He also explained their time limit of 63 minutes. If they can join them, that's great, if they can't.. never mind. Maureen walks up to the communication device-ish as Victor explains again that they can't wait any longer than that. "--because after that we simply can't wait any longer...resolute, out."

Smith voices her worry, "63 minutes?." Maureen explains that it was plenty of time to get John as Smith's voice drops. "Oh. Right." Maureen ignores the look on Smith's face and carries on. While the children were talking and the teens were looking Maureen suddenly dives the Jupiter back down to the planet.

"Mom?!" Penny looked to her mom the best she could. "Mrs. Maureen I don't think-" Judy cuts [Y/n] off as they think about all the times they've been cut off recently. "Trust her." As the red lights shimmer, Maureen orders the kids of the ship to get out of the room as the robot guides smith over there because of 'danger'.

After a talk with Smith Penny talks on about how Maureen could never criticize them again for being reckless. "Ofcourse I can, I'm your mother" Maureen looks over to [Y/n] and smiles at them, while they smile back, finally somewhat feeling at home again.
