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

The pall-bearers enter the cold, dark, imposing mausoleum carrying the coffin of the late Lord M.K*.
He is placed with his ancestors.
The mourners step forward to lay their flowers.
Through the stained-glass window, a sudden burst of sunlight brightens the gloomy room, as if the Lord is looking down on them all...
AGB looks up at the window, wishing this were all a bad dream and she'd wake up, and everything would be back the way it was...
The shaft of sunlight catches her wet cheeks and she is lost in her memories....she hopes the late Lord is chasing Angels and Archangels in Heaven....

~Mina enters and looks around to make sure no one is watching. She leaves some very dark red, almost black, roses on the coffin and leaves~

*walks in and kneels in front of shrine. Please long stemed rose and plate of chocolate chip cookies at the base. Wipes away her tears and gets up to leave*

*Enters - and suddenly loooks very startled*

Oh, my - it is really true? I thought it was just a bad joke.

*Takes of his dark black hat and bows deeply in respect*

So long, mylord. Wonder if we'll ever meet again.

*slowly backs out of the room*

*stands in front of the pile of flowers*
*roughly wipes a tear from her cheek*
*places a bouquet of yellow roses at her feet- a pair of pink fluffy handcuffs nestling in the centre of it*
*thinks- I hope he's having fun wherever he is...*

*steals the handcuffs*

Well, it's not something I'm proud of, but my need is greater than his.

*sweeps out all the old flowers*

*replaces them with fresh*

*sneezes*

*hands Mina a tissue*
Bless you, honey.

*hides handcuffs behind her back*

Thank you, now I must dash back to my dungeon.

*arranges the flowers*

Hmm, before I go, isn't there a chapel around here that should be reopened for the returning Vicar?
