h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Busterbone manages to turn off the Travoltanator and kicks mirror ball out of the way. He peers out of the mail box slot*

Hmm...

*raises Travoltanator, sets it to "Greased Lightning" and points it at Saturn Girl*

Dogfaced Leader, this is Dogfaced Boy. Target Acquired

*pulls trigger*

you sure you don't want that scratch? allright, well... um...

*stalling*

how do i know arl is safe? or even in your posession?

*Saturn Girl sees a nice penny sitting on the ground, and bends over to pick it up. She suddenly hears something shoot past where her upper body had been moments before, and the song Greased Lightning starts to play, and Saturn Girl chooses not to look and see what got hit, instead she moves so that Sea is between her, and where she figures the shot must have fired from.*

*feels something hit her in the stomach*

Oof! Oh, no...

*suddenly finds herself dancing uncontrollably to 'Greased Lightning', coming out of the shadows as she does so*

[The CR Atmos curls into a ball and rolls on the ground, trying to get the the song out of its head.]

*sea whirls around to find:
1) she is being used as a human sheild ()
2) sarge is dancing uncontrollably. *

BBW, is this usually how you conduct your ransom exchanges?

*hooks Sarge up to a generator and powers her radio*
(sqwaaak***crackle***) Dogprintsheet to Dogfaced boy;
Target is hiding behind target. Either way, you can't miss.
Oh, and change that white suit. We're the bad guys;at least wear black! (crackle***spork***sqwaaak)

*the wino shifts position, belches, swigs, belches and then stands up and walks unsteadily away from the travoltinator's field of fire. he isnt wearing much under the overcoat and doesnt want to strike that pose*

[The CR Atmos stops rolling and gets back on it's feet.]

*grabs hold of BBW and uses him for a canine shield*

HA! how do ya like THAT?!

Thats OK. It can do duets as well.

*Changes setting on Travoltanator to "You're the One That I Want"*

And I'm sure BBW will "take one for the team".

*Shoots both BBW and sea with Travoltantor*

*Dancer jumps out of the shadow to block the beam with his body and protect sea*


Dancer

*Dances uncontrolably with sea*

sea...I can...prove...we...have....Arl..

*With incredible effort, BBW pulls a photo out of his pocket. The photo shows Arl in a recliner, eating popcorn in front of a movie screen. He is grinning and waving at the camera.*

We'll....hand...him....over



as..soon...as...you...surrender to...us.



He's...safe...Not...here.

*Turns toward the mailbox.*

Make...it....stop.

*not sure whether or not she was hit, since dancer jumped in front of the beam. heck, just for comedic effect, let's say she was only partway grazed by the ray, having an effect of, say, 5 minutes*

*sea struts around in VERY tight clothes, singing at the top of her lungs. at the end of her song, she gives BBW a big kiss on the nose. then, the effect of the travoltinator wears off, and sea blushes profusely*

allright! allright! i surrender!

*sea buries her face in her hands in disbelief that she actually said that. you better appreciate this when you come back, arl!*

You...you mean one of our hairbrained...er...I mean "evil" plots actually Worked!!??

We bad, we be bad, we Be down and dirty...

Can't...stop...

*does somersault from nearby car*

*tries to disconnect generator*

*gets hit by ray*

*strikes travolta pose*

*overcoat falls off*

*thank the lord for the spangly thong i had on eh?*

*pops PAG*

*pops Pag over spangly thong, Just To Be Sure*
"Be gentle, U H! I'm old, and my poor heart can't take too many shocks on one thread."

*in inability to stop dancing, grabs UH and starts to do spins with him*

*Lurcher watches in amazement, thinking how glad he is that he took so long to get here*
