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

Excellent, I'm starved, ohh, you meant out of the actual teams, oh well.

*Kiddo walks up the beach. He stops and plops down onto the sand. He builds a sand castle. Then he stands up, and continues down the beach.*

*Kiddo trots along the beach singing the theme song to 'Gilligan's Island'*

*Kiddo returns once again to the peaceful bay. This time with a slingshot made from the skin of a shark and a pocket full of pebbles.*

*He practicess throwing the pebbles with the slingshot, hitting himself a few times. After a while he starts to get the hang of it. He tries aiming at some trees and things. Misses several times.*

*A seagull lands on the beach. Kiddo slings a rock at it, misses, and the bird flies away*

Kiddo: Still, it was closer than with the coconut.

*Petunia sits on the soft sand of the beach, against which waves gently lap. She watches the beautiful sunset. She wonders briefly why no one ever goes blind from watching sunset. She decides that this exception to the watching-the-sun-will-make-you-blind rule must be courtesy of God, and smiles at the thought. She decides to visit the place of the gods again soon and thank God Almighty for the small miracles which are not small at all but which often go unnoticed. No killing of God's creatures tommorrow, she thinks. A night of meditation and a day of napping might be good for the soul*

*Kiddo saunters to the bay. He sees Petunia and goes far to one side of her. He plops into the sand. This is a great place to think and contemplate things.*

*Kiddo's secret idea doesn't seem to be working very well. Was that the main reason he came onto this island? If so, it was a dumb idea.*

*It was dark now. He would need to head back for camp soon. Tomorrow he would start his next plan.*

*He built a built a little fortress in the sand and went back to camp*

* Kiddo tries vainly as the sun goes down to hit a seagull...despite it being in vain, he gradually starts to get better at it... *

* who knows tomorrow he might just acheive his aims... *

* A solitary coconut lies on the beach... *

*finds the cocnut and takes it back to the yapong camp*

*flutter of wings.
Oops....*almost* collided with the palm tree there, I hope those falling coconuts didn't hit anybody on the ground.......

*Petunia soon realizes that the night will not be as peaceful as she anticipated. There are strange sounds, and the night creatures peer at her in the moonlight. She quickly abondons her dreamy notions and decides that a snake sacrifice to the gods might be in order for tomorrow. She settles in between sand dunes and gets only a little sleep*

*flutter of wings
Hey everyone!
Party! at the beach!
See you all there!http://www.h2g2.com/AddThread?forum=49657

*wanders by and double takes*
*not stopping to wander why no-ne has picked them up, she grabs the coconuts, and makes her way towards the sound of music*
Wonder where I put my grass-skirt?

*Petunia takes off her underwire-reinforced bra, puts it round a coconut tree and holding on to each end of the bra, climbs carefully up the tree using the bra to help her up. She is able to knock down several ripe coconuts. She climbs a nearby banana tree using the same method and knocks down ripe bananas, then gathers some driftwood and vines and fashions a crude basket with which to carry the food. She loops the bra through the basket and puts the bra straps on so that she is able to carry the basket of food on her back. She heads towards the sound of music*

*GB makes a mental note to tell Petunia to put her bra back on the right way around before she gets to the Party!

SPLASH!
*GB dives into the cool water & surfaces almost immediately.
*She floats on top and looks up at the beautiful blue sky.
Thinks: The sun seems very low in the sky....it must be later than I thought.
I wonder why GOD is retiring?
OOh, this water is lovely & cool on my poor, tired wings.
I hope Kasia doesn't mind me getting this gown of hers wet.
I hope it doesn't shrink. Better hang it up.
*GB swims to the edge of the water
*Looking around, she removes the wet Angel gown, and hangs it from the branch of the nearest tree
*GB turns & runs back to the water
*dives in

*Tweet wanders past and double-takes*
GB, are you naked?!
*realises the stupidity of this question*
*shrugs*
*sits on a tree stump and combs her hair*
So, why's GOD retiring? And since when?
*registers GB's stare*
What? So you're naked. So what?
Right, answer my question please

Hello Tweetie, I was just washing off some paint....
Which question do you want me to answer?
Am I naked? Er....Yes. I'm just waiting for Kasia's gown to dry, I hope it doesn't shrink.
Or why is GOD retiring? Heck, don't ask me that one! I don't question what He does, I just follow Him round, running errands & stuff....
He has picked out a retirement village, I can give you the link if you want to pop over for a peep?
Can you pass me the gown please? It should be dry now....
