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

*looks slightly disturbed after seeing that*

I'm most dreadfully sorry but I'm ging to have to run away screaming!!!

*runs away, screaming*

*edges closer to Vestie and hesitantly takes his hand in hers and squeezes it reassuringly*

*squeezes back and smiles*

I htink there's some multicoloured shells somewhere. maybe we should look for them some day?

*wanders onto beach kicking up sand along the way*

Well, I suppose I should take a look around this here beach if I might be working on it, just to see what it's like. I'm not going ot invest in a gizmo-gadget-thingiemajicaldetoctorellographer just yet, though. I'll wait to see what Her Footbacon Highness Majesty has to say first. Don't want to waste my s on one if I'm not going to need it...

Ah, beautiful sunshine, glorious day! It will be nice that I'll be able to take in the sunrises and sunsets. An employee benefit that would be priceless!

*As she gazes into the sky her foot stubles over something both hard and ucky and the same time*

W..wwhat's this?

*she bends over to look more closely*

I do believe I've found something here!

*Gets down on her hands and knees and looks closely in the sand*

Hmm. Partly brown, partly red, brown part is hard and red part is ucky, with sand sticking to it, looks to be about a month old.....

Ah Ha!!!

I believe I have found here, a HAMBURGER, partially cooked by the sun, and abandoned from an earlier barbeque! I must show this to his Most Barionic Being-ness at once!

*

*gazes into Vestie's eyes and then realises she is staring and drops her gaze to the ground*

*stops screaming as her throat starts getting sore*

I need a drink, I'll pop off to the bar!!!

Maybe Lady A would like to look at some of the nicer shells?

As long as they don't have the same affect as the shell you had before!!!

*looks about for a bit and then sees a shell which is white witha bright red spot on it.*
How about this one.

*Shell emanates a very pale light with a great serene beauty. As it overtakes them they find themselves in a beautiful garden. There are large beautifully formed stones resting on carefully tended gravel.

A wind chime makes a gentle tinkling noise as a breeze passes through the garden. As they walk through it they discover a beautiful pond in which they see magnificent koy carp swimming. Each fish has an intricate pattern on its body and their swimming is slow and graceful.

They find themselves outside a small structure made of wood and paper with beautiful patterns on the walls. Removing their shoes they step inside and see on the floor a beautifully made lacqueur table set with a tea pot and cups. a small soteve is bringing the water to the boil ready for fresh tea to be made.

The light slowly fades and Vestboy and Lady A find themselves once again on the beach.*

*begins to slink away*

Come on Ena, this is a stunner! You must see it!

*walks slowly over to Vestie and looks in the shell with him, she is overcome by the beauty of the garden and hugs him tightly*

It's...it's amazing..

*they drop back onto the beach and Ena pull out a new shell from her pocket, this one is vivid blue*

Do you want to see?

Hey, that was pretty beautiful, I wonder if there is a niché for those sort of things!!!

*Waits on tippy toes, very excited by the prospect.*

*she holds it out to him and the two are suddenly in a pure white room, a beautiful melody plays from another room. The decoration is simple but tasteful with a long sofa and a bed, there is a stone hearth and weapons on the walls.*

*They go over to the window and walk onto the balcony into bright sunlight, they can see for miles and miles of green fields with the deep blue ocean just visable in the distance. In the courtyard two horses stand waiting for rider and the melody is louder*

*Ena moves close to Kham and whispers: My home...*

It's beautiful. Who's Kham?

*startled out of her reverie and looks at Vestie*

Sorry...I forgot...I thought you were somebody else, an old friend from times gone past

Do I remind you of Kham?
