Trillian is Annoyed by Zaphod
Zaphod had decided that he liked blonds better than…whatever you call people with black hair.
Trillian had black hair that she pinned up in an interesting fashion unlike her television counterpart who wore altogether too much hairspray.
"Hey baby," said Zaphod to the new girl, "We could go a long way, you and me." The new girl looked up from a small metal object she was polishing. One of Zaphod's heads winked at her. She smiled dangerously and twirled a gun out of a holster.
"Didn't we take away all your weapons?" said Zaphod.
"I don't…TRUST guys…with two heads," she said sporadically, starting to polish the gun.
"Come on, at least tell me your name," Zaphod said, turning on as much of his charm as he thought necessary.
It seemed to work. The woman spun the gun back into the holster and placed the metal object into another.
"My name," she said, "Is Clapeh Writer."
"Hoopy," said Zaphod, "Come with me."
"All right," said Clapeh, one hand placed threateningly on a gun. Zaphod pulled her into a room where Ford had somehow managed to persuade Arthur to play a drinking game.
Andema was standing nearby with an electronic resuscitation machine.
"Hey guys," said Zaphod, "I'd like to introduce you to Clapeh Writer."
"Clapeh Writer? That's a silly name," said Arthur, his voice muffled due to it being plastered against the table.
"Hey Clap," said Ford, "Are you going to drink any more, Arthur, or have I won?"
"You win. You won two minutes ago when a large section of my brain died."
"No fair," said Ford, and finished Arthur's drink for him, "You're horrible at this game."
"I don't know how to use mental powers."
"That's just laziness. You've had ample opportunities to learn how to use them."
"I'm sure if I had them, they've died by now."
"Laziness," said Ford and poured himself another drink.
"Are you sure you won't go out with me?" said Zaphod.
"Yes," Clapeh said mysteriously.
"You are annoying me quite a lot," Trillian said to Zaphod.
THE END
Perhaps I should take this opportunity to explain how I see the characters, to cut down on confusion. What with the movie coming out, and all.
Ford, to me, looks like he does in the TV series.
Trillian looks like she does from the movie except with more interesting hair and some fashionable clothing.
Zaphod and Arthur can look however you like, except Zaphod has heads like in the TV series.
I'm glad I've gotten THAT over with.
Believe me, these things will go on forever. I've already written something like 26 of them.
The horror!
