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

*says to himself*
this should be interesting to do, getting a tent up to the top of that Oak there.
*looks around at other campsites for ideas*
*sees none that will work in this particular situation, and decides that for now it would be fine to just recline at the base of the tree*

*goes to sleep*

*floating by, sees that Galen is sound asleep, and decides to return later*

at the sound of a float galen wakes up(he has amazing hearing by the way, when he is not in a coma)
*look looks at the retreating form of Titania and fall back into a cat like slumber. *

*sensing a movement behind her back*

*returns*

hello titania
*said in the middle of a yawn*
*thinks to himself*
maybe i was tired

could i perhaps call upon your help in getting this heavy, cumbersom tent to the top of that there tree?

*smiles engagingly*

A tent? In a tree?

Wouldn't it be easier to build a tree house - or maybe at least a platform where you could pitch the tent?

hmmm...
*scratches his head*
thought this was a campground
maybe a platform, but a house, well... that is just too, not campgroundy. you know what i mean. i want to fit in after all and how would it look for me to have a tree house when everyone else has a tent?

**galen, sensing his impending rde approaching**

*packs up his personals and leaves his tent and varios camp materials on the ground in a mess*

*he begins to walk away*

But you're already different - I mean, this is a campground, where most people camp on the ground, but you're intending to camp in a tree...

Well, how about a platform at least? You'll need a flat surface for your sleeping bag...

Impending what?

*and, just as he was about to leave of his own accord*

"hey you," yells the camp policeman/guard/thingie
"you have to leave, you are not authorized to be in this site"

*Galen leaves promising to be back tommorrow*

oh, that, impending ride, got to go. my ride is here

Not authorized?


Why not just fall asleep instead?

ah, i found out i was the cop instead. so it is ok now.
now to tell the truth of what happened last night
*galen leaves the campground*
*galen gets in a car that happens to be his ride*
*falls to the ground*
*there was actually no car, the ride never came*
ahhhhhh!!!!!!
no ride
how will i get home.
*it turned out ok though, because galen then went to a play rehearsal that he just happened to need to go to, and became a cop!!*


the end

that is the story of last night,




yes, i think i will build something of a platform for my sleepingbag, but not other structures, ok?
good
would you be so kind as to help me build the platform titania?

I've got a cart over at my wigwam with some wooden poles in it that were left over when I built the wigwam - maybe we could use those?

that is a very good idea. if you get your cart i can figure out how to get them to the top of the tree.
*sits in the thinker pose*

*drifting off towards wigwam*

*still thinking*

*gets up and walks around campsite*
*notices a rope ladder on the side of the tree*
*climbs up the ladder*
*finds a small platform already made with a nice bower naturally occuring above it to give shelter*

YES!! YES YES YES YES YES!!!!
i found the greatest place you could immagine.
I am so happy!!

*returning without cart when hearing shouts of joy*

*looks up into tree*
