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

Future Afgn-No, that was just a slip of my toungue. Actally, I knew I was going to slip, but I've been through this before. I meant S16.

*Present Afgncaap5 wonders why Future isn't helping*

*hands over S16, bemused*

*E can't tell them apart, but she wonders the same. Unconciously, she takes an IWA...*

*Present Afgncaap5 stands up*

Present Afgn-Well, that should do it. Let's see what this does.

*Pushes button. Three overlapping RED spheres appear, but begin to fade*

Present-I don't understand what it is that I'm doing wrong?

*Future kicks present into the last traces of red spheres. Grins evily*

That really hurt when it happened to me. I think that I'm on the right track with this machine, but it'll take a lot more work to make sure that it does more than send you less than a day into the future on each try. He'll be back eventually. Can I have an S5 while I wait?

*Begins tinkering on machine again*

*automatically hands over S5*

*By now E is very curious...*

Thanks

*Takes brake from using the machine*

Any second now, the alien's are gonna come, and look for the black holes that keep popping up on their view screens. Then, the present/future version will appear, and . . . well, the rest is history. Wait, is that right?

*Munches on S5 while thinking*

Could I have an S16 to contain my curiosity

*hands over S16*
I'd better go soon... lectures etc. in the morning

*E waits with baited breath*

*An explosion occurs on the beach. Afgncaap5 looks out window, all the way down the mountain*

That would be the aliens. I'm off to see the crater. I'll just leave a note for me when he gets here.

*Writes note, sticks it on machine*

Well, see ya later. Bye Eomando. Tell Afgncaap5 to look out for the alien when he gets here.

*E seriously doubts if she'll be here by then, because she was about to wander off and get some sleep...she leaves a note just incase...*

You (Future) said that you (Past) should watch out for the alien...

*Falls out of thin air, painfully stands up, and sees both notes. Reads them*

I still don't know what he meant by "the alien." And it hurt when he kicked me! Oh well, I suppose I'll go check out the crater myself. Maybe I'll help myself to an S7 first.

*Writes 'Thank You' note, takes S7, posts note on counter. Begins eating when a squidlike thing comes in, toting a gun*

That would be the alien. Gotta run!



~An extremely worried Afgncaap5

*hopes things have calmed down some*
Here's your breakfast jam donut, BS

Thanks, it looks like I missed a pretty busy evening.
*looks around carefully*
Looks like the alien has gone though

It better have done, or it gets cursed
*hangs out self service sign*

Damn, always the case, I get here just a little too late to get service, oh well, I'll take two birthday donuts, cheers

I'm wowed by your amazing selection, Joanna. Please may I have an S16?

Its self-service at the moment, come on over and help yourself

*removes self service sign, takes an S3 and endeavors to look busy*
