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

*BeeBee does what she normally does when she wants to bark and she has been ordered not to. She barks under her breath.*

moof, moof. (very softly)

*Squares shoulders*

Saving the world, huh? Ok let's do it quickly then, I'm dying for a cuppa.

*Becomes aware of a certain restiveness behind her*

You alright back there, you cute little doggies. Would you like to get down?

*Amy tries to keep BeeBee quiet but the barking of little dogs continues to echo through the caves in a most peculiar way*

What is that noise? It sounds a bit like someone breathing into a paper bag to stop hyperventilation.

I'm all for saving The Wonderful World of H2G2, but are we missing one or two posse members? I haven't seen Amy for awhile.

Err, yes Carmel, this is that man. But he's reformed now I hope and might be useful for showing us how to get to this Herb chap. And the sooner the better if you ask me.

[BeeBee] Moof, moof.

[Amy] It's OK, BeeBee. We'll be alright. We haven't been found yet and it's getting quieter. We'll just stay here for a few minutes and then I'll decide what to do next.

*Amy strokes the little doggy*

/* Zeppo looks curiously into the darkness of the cave where the noises are coming from. */

We've picked up a couple extra /* glances at the Reverend and A Man Called Jello */, but appart from Amy and BeeBee we're all here, I think. Odra seems to have stayed back in the town.

Right then BeeBee. This is a tough decision. We can't go back... there's nothing there but celery soldiers and jellos even if they seem to have given up the search for us temporarily. If we go forward we might run into that Celery but perhaps there will be more tunnels and caves to hide in. On the other hand, we might get lost. But if we stay here we'll either be found or we'll starve to death. I wish Styx was here. This is his sort of territory.

Right then, it sounds like we're all in agreement. Now, which way is it back to where this Woody is?

I believe it is this way. *points*

*Moves over closer to Munchkin.*


Uh, sir. I'm Herb. The evil one is my brother Woody.

Wooo wooooooooooo wooo [What's that, Zeke?]

Woo woo woo [The polderghost thing, or whatever it's called, yeh gotta practice]

Wooooo wooooo woooo [Ah'm only up to mah orange belt]

Woooo woo wooOOOoooo [But watch this!]

*A stalactite near the group begins to wobble, then it cracks at its base and comes crashing to the ground, just inches from Witty.*

Woooooo Hooooooo [Wooooo Hooooooo]

Shoooo! Shooooo! *waves arms*

That was too close for comfort. I don't think these caves are stable. And does anyone else feel that draft?

*The two hear a crash from somewhere up ahead.*

Tontello and Lone Jello simultaneously: Let's go that way.

*Tontello is pointing towards the noise, Lone Jello is pointing away from it.*

Wooooo woooo woo wooo [Nice one, Reb!]

Wooo woooo wOOOoooOOOo [I wuz thinkin' 'bout trappin' 'em all in here]

Woooo wooooooo wooo woo [Like that guy with the Akmuht box said]

Woo WoooOOOooo wooo [Should we be worried about that Akmuht box?]

Woo wooooooo woo [I ain't never heard of no Akmuht box afore]

WooooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo [But I got a bad feelin' about it]

Woo woo woo woo [Gives me chills, like]

After that, I think we should move off down the tunnel sooner rather than later!

I agree Caer. Let's go.

*Starts walking in the direction indicated by Herb.*

There certainly is SOMETHING in the air here. The hair is standing up on the back of my neck.

*Amy hears a crashing sound* it adds to her indecision*
