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

*A deafening silence descends, despite everyone shouting a lot of panicking words.*

*DE walks over and turns down the wave machines to "Flat as a millpond" setting*

Makes things a little easier to handle.

*phew!*
Well, I guess we can all relax and get back to attacking each other with the water cannons.

*Drags sunlounger over near taps, turns it on its side and hides behind it. Starts filling waterballoons*

*Abandons paddleboat in favour of lying on a lilo, and floats innocently along the pool.*

*Opens a second bag of water ballons and starts stockpiling*

*Floats along, and decides to name his Lilo "Titanic"... hoping that those ice-guns have all been fixed...*

*Fills last water balloon*

Ready, now I'm prepared if anyone starts using those water cannons

*Floats merrily along, but sails into an ice-cube someone had dropped from a drink supplied by the Aroma Cafe, which pops the lilo, and sinks.......*


Hello fish.


What are they doing in the pool?

*The sound of a distant helicopter*

Dons gas mask

*walks in quietly and surveys the scene; wonders what on earth is going on?*

*DD finally arrives with helicopter. The reason for the delay was the big scoop of water he is transporting from virtual cove*

Bombs away.

*With a flick of a switch he unleases the contents of another swimming pool unto the swimming pool*

*cough, cough, splutter...*
Where'd you nick all that water from?

*edges away from the water*

*Bluebottle, meanwhile, runs to the nearest water cannon to soak anyone who tries to drown him again*

*also edges away from water canon, wonders whether reappearance in this forum was, in fact, a wise move*

*Bluebottle, meanwhile, scans the skies looking for DD and his helicopter, and wants Joanna to know that he aims to protect and not drown her... at least, not now...*

*Joanna is slightly mollified by sensing this thought and stops edging and stays where she is to watch future developements*

I don't suppose you'll stay guard by the cannon while I go down the slide again, will you?
