A Conversation for H2G2 Waterworks: The Swimming Pool
Swimming Pool: II
Bluebottle Started conversation Jun 23, 2000
Welcome to the inside swimming pool. Why anyone would want a swimming pool when we have a beach is beyond me, but I was asked to build a swimming pool with water-slides, diving boards etc, so build a swimming pool with that lot I did.
And here it is. We have swimming lanes and the diving area. There's a huge fun pool to your left. You can't miss it - it's got the 30 foot long inflatable floating dolphin you can climb on... The whole complex is over twelve miles long, so you can do a lot of swimming. We have really cool water cannons too, which can soak anyone you point them at.
The smell is probably the chlorine.
So, have a good swim, and see if you can find a
And please don't soak me! I got soaked enough in the last one.

Is this the same swimming pool, only in another dimension or something? That would be cool, I think.

Ming Mang Posted Jun 23, 2000
*had crept in behind PP in an attempt not to get soaked or noticed, and so far it has worked...*

*tips large bucket of water over PP*
Hee hee hee!
Hey, FC! Would you like the Sweet Shop to sponsor your party?
That basically means we can all pig out on sweets...

OK... This is going too far... I can't turn my back on you for just one second without gettin tickled or something...
*stands there for a moment plotting an evil plan for taking revenge... *
*suddenly has a brigh idea... *
*decides to do first things first... *
*looks around & sees Ming in her hideout... Which is easy, he only has to see where all the bonbon papers come from... *
*Gets a water cannon, points it at her & fires, soaking her...*
Well... You managed to avoid getting soaked... Up to now...
*soaks her again, just to make the point...*

Paul Prefect (It's been 2 years now... wow... 8-)) Posted Jun 24, 2000
*races after FC trying to catch her...*
*is surprised how fast a pussy cat like her can actually run... *
*slowly gains on her... *

Fashion Cat Posted Jun 24, 2000

Paul Prefect (It's been 2 years now... wow... 8-)) Posted Jun 24, 2000
*remembers seeing a James Bond movie not too long ago, and in fact even acting in one... *
*thinks what 007 would do now... *
*No... I don't mean what he would do to the Bond girl... *
*jumps ahead, rolls on his side, and crawls & jumps & runs to FC, dodging the cannon... Finally lays his hands on her...*
Gotcha!...
Ah... You've been a bad cat, you know that? Tickling me like this...
I'd do the same to you, but it would be a little... hm... boring, wouldn't it?
*still holding FC under his arm, points the water cannon straight at the sky, puts it on myximum power, puts FC on top of it & fires... She is spurted high up into the air, and the fountain keeps her, slightly wavering, at a height of about 200 feet... *
OK... See how you get down from there...
Swimming Pool: II
Fashion Cat Posted Jun 24, 2000

hmm.... would that have made me a bond girl?? I could get used to that idea, even if it means I'd eventually be killed....
oh... have I been a bad kitty?? cant have that can we
*looks down on all* hehe... Not a bad hiding place Ming! ok. so how long are your arms gonna be able to keep this water going PP... and you'd better catch me when you stop it!!

Paul Prefect (It's been 2 years now... wow... 8-)) Posted Jun 24, 2000
Hm... You don't think I'll let you come down that easily, do you?
*fixes the cannon so it stays in upright position & fires continually even when there's no one to hold it... *
*decides to take a relaxing swim in the pool...*
Ah... And FC... One more thing...
!!!!
