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

I can certainly do that.

*takes off*

Whoa! Stop! D'Elaphant and Zeppo are just down here in the grass, asleep!

*heads off to talk to the stragglers of the Posse.

Hoaaaa Bonnie, hoaaaaa Clyde...*pulls reins, manages to halt coach just in time*

d'E! Zeppo! Wake up!

*notices a distant flash*

Some tom fool is playing with a mirror, they could start a grass fire!

*looks round to see who the flash could be intended for and spies the stage coach*

Hang on! The coach is coming...... funny, it doesn't appear to be Amos at the reins.

*is almost blinded by a flashing light* crash lands at Caerwynn's feet*

That's all I need, flashing lights here and in RL too .

Sorry about the landing. But a good landing is one you walk away from, they say, so that's good enough for me. Titania is driving the stagecoach but she's stopped to pick up d'Elaphant and Zeppo. Styx is on the roof with the luggage. Something is inside the coach, groaning from time to time. We don't know what it is. Perhaps it's an injured jello. We'll have a look when she gets here. There's more than enough of us to overpower a jello.

Are you ok Amy? That was a bit of a dodgy landing, still, far better than anything I could do!

Strange noises from the coach, that sounds a bit ominious. I didn't think it looked like Amos up there, its very brave of T to drive it!

/* Yawns, stretches */

Where'd everyone go? Hi Titania, where's Amos?

/* Climbs up on the coach to ride shotgun. */

Zeppo will run along side.

*moves aside to make room for d'E*

I don't know - and we haven't seen Billy for ages either - but there is someone/something groaning inside the coach - could be a webjello...

...but I thought we'd wait to check until we've caught up with the rest...

Yihaaaa Bonnie, yihaaaa Clyde - easy now!

*hoping that the horses will find the best way across the uneven ground*

Hold on tight, d'E!

*creaking and groaning the stage coach starts rolling, rocking and swaying over small hills and pitches in the rough terrain*

This coach has had a rough time of it, hasn't it? I hope it holds together. You know Titania, that could be Amos inside - maybe we should catch up quickly.

/* Tries to look down into the coach. */

All I can see is boots.

Quickly? Over this ground?

*Stops walking to wait for the coach.*

That coach is a sight for sore eyes. My feet will be happy to get a bit of a rest.

*wonders if it's time for lunch yet*

*hears the very faint sound of trundling, creaking and groaning, and turns round*

Is that the coach? Well, I think I'll just sit down right here and wait for it. This hot weather is sooo fatiguing...

I think we should have somethig to drink otherwise we shall get dehydrated in this heat'

*gets out her umbrella opens it and props it against a convenient rock*

That should give ua a bit of shade whilst we wait for the coach.

*passes round a surpisingly cool flask of water*

Water!!!

[X waits for everyone else to finish.]

Oops, ignore that ... I lost track of who was where.

*A groan, followed by a dry, raspy "water!" is heard from inside the coach.*

Did you hear that? It came from inside the coach!

*approaches cautiously, having grabbed the frying pan first, peers in through the coach window, ready to duck and roll*

Its Amos!

*grabs the flask, climbs into the coach, lifts Amos' head and gently tips the flask*

Have some of this Amos.

*still looking in the direction of the flash*

Amos, can you speak? Are you all right? Is anything broken?
