Chapter 2

Zaphod's statement was met with confusion from his fellow humanoids, the robot, however, remained disinterested.

"What do you mean, 'Newest crew member'? She asked for a ride not a job!" Ford shouted. He didn't like the idea of having to travel with yet another person.

Zaphod pulled him semicousin aside, "Listen Ford," he said, lowering his voice so the others couldn't hear, "What's the harm in bringing her along? And besides, there's something about her...don't ask me what, but there is definitely something about her."

Ford didn't have a clue what he was talking about, but he realized there was no way he was winning this argument because Zaphod didn't work on reason...the girl was coming along no matter what he said. "Alright, fine..." he said, no longer caring.

Zaphod turned back around towards the girl, "So what do ya say? Wanna travel the Galaxy on the most amazing ship ever built?" he said, enthusiastically, extending his left arm towards the Heart of Gold, which could be seen through the giant bay window.

"Sure," she said with a calm almost nonchalant smile.

Trillian stepped forward to introduce herself.

"Hello, Dantae, is it?" Dantae nodded and Trillian continued, "I'm Trillian," she turned "This is Arthur."

"Hello," he said, feeling rather relieve that she at least looked human, unlike many of the other aliens they'd encountered. There was some about her he liked, some thing familiar.

"And this..." Trillian started again, this time her voice taking on that somewhat patient, somewhat reassuring, somewhat annoyed tone it always took when she talked to the emotional unstable robot "is Marvin."

Marvin turned up his red triangular eyes slowly, using far more effort than necessary, looked at her for a moment, and turned them down again.

Dantae cocked her head a bit, feeling as if she had done something wrong.

"Don't worry," Trillian said, in a low whisper, "It's not you, he's just depressed."

Marvin lifted his head to comment, but then decided it wasn't worth it and continued sulking quietly to himself.

"Well, what are you all waiting for!" Zaphod suddenly chimed in, "The ships refueled, there's no reason to stick around here anymore."

Zaphod, Trillian, Arthur, Marvin and Dantae, all filed back into the ship. Ford tagged a bit behind. He stared at the back of their new companions head as they walked.

'Zaphod's right...there is something about her.'
