We all got on the rocket ship and waved goodbye to Nova. The mood in the rocket was not great after we left Juptier. We had our solemn moments, me and Leo arguing, Cosmo not knowing who or what he likes. Cosmo then says "Hey look! Say goodbye to Jupiter.." me and Leo come running to the window, excited at seeing Jupiter's beauties on last time. The Royal marigold colour and fiery burgundy assets of its atmosphere. I will miss it.

Nova's words kept playing perpetually in my head

Nova's words kept playing perpetually in my head. "Go save our solar system!" She's so encouraging. The inspiration and dedication in her voice, just someone you'd look up to. I started to tear up as I saw Jupiter slowly fade away. It felt the same as loosing a loved one. It felt like I lost an unfinished part of my life behind. It felt like I was running away for some reason.

After days, Leo finally sees something in the distance, we thought it was Saturn as it was huge; but it was something much worse, something unimaginable, something we thought we were safe from. In the horizon, we saw a raging asteroid, this rock was huge, nearly 10x bigger than the rocket.
The asteroid was bulging with an infernal, indignant crimson centre. Cosmo knew how to control the rocket and quickly pioneered us around it. I thought my journey was over at that point.

A few more days went by. We started to realise we were running out of food. Hopefully we were close to Saturn. Leo was already enraged from his lack of intake. We couldn't last much longer with him.

This time, I was sat at the front of the rocket, 'staring into space', literally. But then, I saw a glowing, parchment coloured ball, I then realised we were at Saturn!
