See! Told you I wouldn't take as long.


"Ford wants you." Arthur said, poking his head in Zaphod's room.

"Does he? Could you tell him I said tough luck, I'm busy."

"I think it's important."

"Tough luck, I'm busy."

"No, uh, I think it's really important."

Zaphod sighed, "Fine..."

Zaphod and Arthur walked down to Ford's room only to find that he wasn't there. So, they went to go look for him on the bridge.

"Hey, Ford. What up?" A screen lit up in front of Ford and on it was a boy. Well, not a boy exactly, but a teenage boy from the planet Dogotron 8. His hair was orange, and so was his tail... and his ears were dogs ears that were blue. Normally, the people of Dogotron would have matching ears and tails... but Feldspar had blue ones and that was that.

"Where are you?" Asked Ford.

"Me? Uh, home."

"I'm coming to get you."

"...okay ... HI ZAPHOD AND... THAT OTHER GUY!"

Ford whirled around and saw Zaphod waving to Feldspar, and Arthur looking Arthur-like.

"There you guys are! What took you so long?" Ford was annoyed that it took Arthur more than 3 minutes to get Zaphod over here. "Anyway, Feldspar, I'm going to come get you, then I'm going to go get my sister and her friend."

"Okay... do I have any choice at all?" Felspar asked.

"... No. Later." Ford hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" Arthur whispered to Zaphod.

"Feldspar, duh."

"... Let me rephrase my question. What was that?"

"Oh, he's a Dogotronian."

"... I suppose you wouldn't want to explain what that was."

"No, not really. Hey, Ford!" Zaphod disregarded Arthur and moved his attention to Ford.

"What?"

"Where is your sister?"

"Earth."

"Wasn't it blown up?" Arthur could've sworn it had been.

"Don't ask questions, just sit down and enjoy the ride."
