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

(Refrences to Adventure and Beyond Zorl noted)

*The foot, while not blowing up the rabbit, as would be the desired effect, causes it to faint. Everyone quickly moves down the mountain, especially Bluebottle*

Hey, I think we're almopst there! Just a few more posts, and we'll have succeeded in our quest! Am I right, or is some monster going to jump out and throw us back to the top of the mountain?

*Curses himself for being hopeful*

If the monster does throw us, wouldn't he throw us off the mountain to the sea? (wondering how a monster found it's way to the mountain without stopping at the donut stand on the beach first )

There it is! The monster! But it -is- eating doughnuts...
*points the monster sitting in a tree when sliding down even faster hoping that the shovel won't stop too roughly when the snow ends*

*Adjusts surfboard so that it will land on a nice patch of fairly smooth dirt, instead of sharp, pointy rocks. Glares at the monster, has an idea. Slows enough that a passing sherpa can be 'removed' from his package (just happens to have donuts), and throws them at the monster, who can't take a notice of our heroes while it eats these new treats.)

Okay, we're almost there! I judge two, maybe three posts!

*Begins to slow, due to the treasure in his back pack*

*DD pushes a button on his snowboard converting it into a surf board*

Two posts to the tide.

*BB manages to stop himself entering the Guiness Book of Records for "Worlds Largest Human Snowball", and regains control of himself.

*DD fortuitously remembers to prepare for the drop from the hovering mountain and hits the ocean first*

OK surfs up.

*Glides down hoping that she doesn't have to walk at all and that the shovel will take her all the way down to the donut stall.*

There it is... Just a short distance anymore... Please, please, don't stop here... Almost there... Almost there... HA!!!

*Stops right in front of the donut stall, forgets everything else and runs inside to eat doughnuts.*

*Floats gently down to the beach. Parachute floats down on top. Parachute twists and turns as GL struggles to get out from underneath. Finally, the shape of the lump under the parachute changes. Growls and snapping noises issue from under the parachute. Eventually a large hole is torn in the parachute. GL steps out in wolf form and changes to human form.*

Hurray, we did it!!!

*looks back up the mountain, failing to see the top*

Pulls out the tea tray and passes it to the donut stall and asks for it to be filled up.

*DD is in the surf*

Tea how awfully civilised.

Hey, Eomando, won't you have to deal with the fact that you've got two of you now?

So, after we celebrate with donuts, what then? Report to the queen?

Isn't there three of her the two from the mountain plus the one she left down here to help Joanna serve.

Confused smile.

Oh bother...

I'd forgotten about that...

There'll be 3 of me won't they...there's the me at the stall...the me that went back to help and has never been heard from since...and the me that's here now...

I wonder what happened to the 2nd me...

Oh my...I think I feel a headache coming along... I don't think I can cope with 3 of me...

*Quickly runs to get three IWAiaIWAiaIWA from the Doughnut Stall*

Hmm...not sure how I should take that...

I just hope the donuts are for you DD... and that you're not planning to shut 3 me's up with them...

Well one for me and two for the two of you that are here.

Ah...well...that's OK...

BTW, I haven't see the other me for a while...hmm...oh well...more for me...

*Sits happily inside the donut stall eating doughnuts. Sees E outside in addition to the one who's serving doughnuts, but doesn't get really confused until sees the third one walking from the oak tree forest. Starts wondering whether there's something wrong with the doughnuts but then decides there must be a more natural explanation.*
