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

*Voice appears from nowhere in particular*

Use the forks E, use the forks, forget the shovel.

*E hears the voice from nowhere, and flings a shovel-ful of sand at where she thought it came from. The sand hit something, but E didn't know what, she wasn't expecting it to hit anything which is probably why she saw it hit something...*

*DE falls into hole thanks to getting a shovel full of sand in the back*

Erm...sorry DE, didn't see you there...

*offers a hand to help him out of the hole...*

*DE grabs hand, and though tempted to pull E in decides instead to pull himself out*

Thanks.

Sorry DE, it was my fault you ended up in there. But look on the bright side, at least you didn't break anything this time.

You want to help me get even with DD, I'm sure we'd find that JCB somewhere...

Wait for it to rain, the stealth paint runs if it gets wet.

Good idea.

...but I think DD's been more cunning than simply using stealth paint. I think an SEP is culprit...

*giigles emerge from a point of nothing 10 feet in the air*

What was SEP again?

Somebody Elses Problem - you don't see it cos it's not your problem...

...now *where* did that laugh come from...?

If it dumps sand on you it becomes your problem, then you can see it

True.

*E gets another shovel-ful of sand, then, checking to make sure she wouldn't hit DE, she threw the sand about ten feet in the air where she thought she'd heard the giggle coming from...*

*cough*

*splutter*

*sudden rumbling noice*

*The sudden rumbling noise worries E...but at least she got DD back for that ton of sand landing on her...*

*Andromeda sees fit to remove herself and her towel a long, long way from this section of beach*

A wise precaution.

The rumbling appears to have stopped for now though, so I think it may be safe...

*E lies back down on the sand...very cautiously.*

ahhhh finally back at the beach...

Nice to see you back here.

*Just then a tonne of snad fall from nowhere in particular but misses them both*
