The chapter opens with an establishing shot of Glasshouse Primary School. Coco is talking to Calypso on the deck. The Terriers are playing with the water feature. Pretzel and Winton are watching the chicken. Mackenzie, Jack, and Rusty are walking across the lawn, towards a wooden rowboat some distance from the school building. Jack is carrying a ball of string
Jack: "Is it okay if I'm the navigator?"
Rusty: "Yeah. You know the most about space."
Jack: "Rusty, you can be the captain."
Rusty: "Okay."
Mackenzie: "What can I be?"
Jack: "How about you're the chief scientist?"
Mackenzie: "What does the chief scientist do?"
Jack: "He tries to figure out everything."
Rusty: "And he fixes stuff."
Mackenzie: "Sounds good."
They arrive at the rowboat.
Rusty: "Where are we going?"
Jack: "We could go to Mars. Or we could go to a black hole."
They climb into the rowboat.
Rusty: "Let's go to Mars. It's got aliens."
Jack sits at the front of the boat, pretending to hold a steering wheel.
Jack: "No, it doesn't."
Rusty and Mackenzie sit on the front bench, behind Jack. Mackenzie pretends to buckle a seatbelt. Jack pretends to press buttons.
Mackenzie: "What's a black hole?"
Jack: "It's a sun that got really small and makes a hole... I think."
Mackenzie: "What happens if you go in it?"
Jack: "No-one knows."
Rusty: "Has it got aliens?"
Jack: "I don't think so."
Rusty: "Then we're going to Mars!"
The camera cuts to a close up on Mackenzie. He looks down, and then off into the distance.
Jack: (off screen) "Rusty, there's no aliens on Mars."
TITLE CARD - Space
Jack: [voiceover] "This chapter of Y/N is called:Space!"
Cut back to Jack, Mackenzie, and Rusty sitting in the rowboat. Rusty holds the imaginary steering wheel, looking determined. Jack is still pressing imaginary buttons. Mackenzie holds onto his imaginary harness, bracing himself.
Rusty: "Five!"
Jack: "Fuel supply good."
Rusty: "Four!"
Jack looks behind them.
Rusty: "Three!"
Jack: "Tower falling off."
Rusty: "Two!"
Jack braces himself in his own imaginary harness.
Jack: "Comms are go."
Rusty: "One! LAUNCH!"
They all lean back as though they're accelerating.
Jack: (imitating roaring rockets) "RRRRRRRRRRRR!"
Mackenzie: (yelling) "Ahhhh!"
Rusty: (imitating hissing gass) "Pssssssssh!"
They all jerk forward, as though acceleration has ceased.
