AN- This is a one-shot that came about in a wonderful random conversation with my best mate. It's absolutely perfect for Zaphod and is based on the characters in the film version, so enjoy!
On the spaceship Heart Of Gold, Zaphod grinned cockily, grabbing a small, slim microphone from a setting on the wall. As he pointed, two spotlights came down on him and began revolving. He threw Trillian a wink, rolling her eyes as she turned to see what he was doing. He clicked his fingers and music started…''Thanks Eddie…Come on now!''
Zaphod:
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Born to be wild
Born to be wild!
Zaphod shouted for Eddie to continue with the lighting effects. Marvin shook his head miserably as he so often did and Ford began to dance along with Zaphod. Arthur watched in confusion- the eccentricities of space were nothing compared to Zaphod…
Zaphod:
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
He leans down with the mic, his second head taking over the song. With two arms, he points to the ceiling while his third arm held the mic stand.
Zaphod:
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild!
As the spotlights go down the normal lights come back up again. The president of the galaxy gave the group a small salute and a wink, hopping onto the sofa as though he hadn't just been performing. Arthur still remained quite dumb-founded, and pointed to Zaphod.
''Was- was he just singing? Yes?'
Trillian nodded, smiling at his confusion.
''Don't worry, this is normal for Zaphod..''
''No improbability drive then..?'' Arthur asked, scratching his head. She shook her head as Ford and Zaphod began messing around again, thinking back on old times.
''He is an improbability drive..'' Marvin muttered, hanging his large robotic head. Arthur gingerly patted him on the shoulder.
