Stage lights up. Narrator enters.
Narrator: A thousand years have passed and Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius and Helena have embarked on a journey to populate the new planet Acirema on the MS Titanic Sky.

Narrator exists - stage falls dark.
Act V - Scene 2
Stage lights up. Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius and Helena sitting at the table in an impressive ballroom.
Hermia: I'm having such a good time.
Lysander: Me too, but I can't wait to get to Acirema.
Demetrius: Me neither. I told the captain to order full speed. Let's see what our little bumblebee can manage.
Helena: It's so exciting. We should be there in just a few days.
A loud bang, than a vibration shakes the ship. Hermia falls off her chair.
Helena: What was that?
Lysander: OH. MY. GOD. We hit a meteor.
Demetrius: Not again. Those collisions are getting old.
Hermia: Let's run to the escape pods.
Demetrius: There won't be enough room for everyone. I hope they won't start with the 'women and children first' nonsense again. I don't want to drift out there in space.
Helena: This is a catastrophe. We'll gonna be sued and lose all our money. Since Earth has been surrounded constantly by volcanic clouds, we couldn't even take out insurance.
Lysander: Forget the rest of mankind. We need to get to the special emergency pod.
Hermia: Isn't that supposed to be reserved for the first family?
Demetrius: It's every couple for themselves. Let's go.
Lysander, Demetrius, Helena and Hermia run around the stage. A loud explosion. Stage fall dark
Act V - Scene 3
Helena and Hermia in an escape pod.
Helena: I can't believe the guys didn't make it - AGAIN. Maybe we should go back for them.
Hermia: Nah, let them drift around space for a while.
Helena: I'm hungry.
Hermia: I still have these chocolates that Lysander brought me back from the fairies. They are ancient but still really yummy.
Helena: Oh, they look good.
Hermia: You yawning. Maybe we should both get some rest.
Helena: Good idea. Let me just have a piece of that chocolate, too.
They fall asleep, just to be woken up by another explosion.
Helena: Oh, Hermia, I never knew how attractive you are.
Hermia: Not as cute as you. I think I'm in love with you.
Helena: Oh, look, the MS Titanic Sky. It evaporated in thin air.
Hermia: It's such a shame. She was a beautiful ship.
Helena: Should we go back for the guys? I really don't want to.
Hermia: Me neither. Who needs guys when we have us?
Helena: Yeah, us and the chocolates.
Hermia: Let's make out.
Stage falls dark.
Act V - Scene 4
Stage lights up. Demetrius and Lysander float in space.
Demetrius: You think the gals are coming for us?
Lysander: Who are you kidding? Hermia didn't come for me when the Titanic sank, so she won't come now.
Demetrius: We're fucked, man.
Lysander: Yeah. Crap. I always knew girls were trouble.
Demetrius: I'm starving. Got something to eat?
Lysander: Just those chocolates the fairies gave me but they are full of love potion.
Demetrius: They are a thousand years old. I'm sure the love potion is past its expiration date. Give me one.
Lysander: Here we go.
Demetrius: Have one, too.
They chew, than stare at each other.
Lysander: I'm kind of glad you're with me, man.
Demetrius: Yeah, let's hold hands until the girls come.
Lysander: Hopefully, they never will. I like being here with you.
Demetrius: Truthfully, me, too. Who needs them?
Lysander: Not me.
Stage falls dark.
Act V - Scene 5
Stage lights up. Oberon and Titania watch Lysander, Demetrius, Hermia and Helena on a satellite screen.
Oberon: Well, that didn't turn out the way we planned.
Titania: Oh, who cares? Main thing is they love each other.
Oberon: So, you don't want to interfere.
Titania: No, I'm tired of doing all the work and Cupid is taking all the credit. Let's just leave them. I'm sure our lovers will be alright.
Oberon: Okey dokey.
Titania: I want to go to bed and make out.
Oberon: As you wish, my queen. Like Puck used to say: So good night unto you all.
