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

Well, away from the ground, for a start..... I thought Acapulco was nice this time of year......but since we can create whatever we like right here, we hardly need to actually go anywhere to go there.....the joy is more just in the flying itself.....

*flies higher and dives back down a few times*

*sends a few flittermice up to buzz her.*

A few what?

flittermice=bats (cf. The Hobbit.....somewhere )

I've only read it in Finnish!

*sends the flittermice back to him and flies upwards*

That's one thing you'd miss....all the olde English references....flittermice being one of them....hurrah, an advantage to English being ones first language...

*Decides to follow her before she gets out of sight.*

*flies faster*

*puts on night vision goggles and speeds up*

*flies into a cloud*

*which shows the heat of her body up perfectly against the cold droplets*

*stays in the cloud*

*catches up to her in the cold cloud, and takes the goggles off*
What a funny place to find you!

How so funny?

Well, I expected to find you in the other cloud, this being a thunderhead and all.....

I thought you liked thunderstorms...

I do, it's just adds an element of danger to this flying business.....as if it weren't dangerous enough already....(remembers corresponding scene from So long & thanks for all the fish)....I hope you're not planning on imagining any 747s.....

*the sound of a 747 flying by is heard outside the cloud*

*Glances up, then back at her*
I never knew you liked to live so dangerously.....

Not too dangerously... *flies out of the cloud*
