Ford Finds a Pink Rain Poncho

"This is the most useful thing I've found for years," said Ford.

"Why?" said Malea, poking at a door with a screwdriver. The door was looking decidedly nervous.

"Are you trying to steal my boyfriend?" said Andema.

"No," said Malea, "I only want to be the mechanic."

"All right," said Andema, "What are you doing?"

"Fixing the doorknob."

"But that's a sliding door."

"Exactly."

Rachel chose this moment to enter.

"Hello," said Ford, "Who are you?"

"Rachel," said Rachel, "That's my poncho you're wearing."

"Hmm?" said Ford, "It's a tad snug." Rachel grinned.

"That's probably because it's mine."

"Well, you're not getting it back," said Ford.

"That's fine. It looks… better? No, actually, it's just funny."

"I'll accept that."

Andema fiddled with her cloned orange hat.

The door retreated from sight and Malea went after it with the screwdriver.

"Is there any point to this story?" Andema said suddenly.

"Is there any point to ANY of these stories?" said Ford.

"Ah," said Andema, "Point."

"Come OUT, damn you!" muttered Malea. Rachel walked over and took a look.

"You're probably breaking the door, you know."

"Where'd you come from anyway?" said Malea, changing the subject.

"Oh, I'm just a random character," said Rachel, "Would you like some chain mail?"

"No, not really," said Malea.

"Ow!" shrieked the door.

"Fine," said Rachel, and walked away, dragging a chain with mail on it behind her.

"That was a horrible pun," said Andema.

"Nobody panic," said Ford, "But I can't…move. This poncho is smaller than I expected."

Malea took a look.

"How adorable!" she said, "It's got a little hood!"

The door breathed a sigh of relief.

THE END

And I've finished typing up the stories in my old, ratty pink ugly teddy-bear notebook, and will soon begin to type the stories in my lovely neon-green pretty lifty notebook.

What a relief!

Questions will now be answered as I feel like it.

elven-emma: Sure you can take a trip to my basement. Be sure to bring cards. They've worn theirs out. Also, you gave me the 42nd review! Congratulations! streamers and balloons fall from the ceiling Have any character you want for a day! But only a day, I'll need them back. Tell me when you choose! Oh, and British people are ALWAYS funny. Always. Never forget that, my young Jedi. And, yes, I'm rambling.

Erin: Slartibartfast won't be in these ones, but he'll be in the other H2G2 story I'm writing on the side. I love his name too. Who doesn't?

Eileen: Yes, he did. But, my stories have done a pretty good job of avoiding the original plotlines so far, so there's no reason for me not to continue.

MaidM: I DID forget that it was your idea. Sorry. The attic in the last storywas MaidM's idea, everyone! Oh, but the backyard is based off the backyard in my old house, so there you go. It's not ALL yours. I still don't know why you think Reginald Stubbins is so funny. Still.

Regina Rex: Oh so THAT'S why he's not in any of my stories. I was wondering.

Thank you to all my other reviewers! I'll answer anyone's questions, really. It may take a while, but I don't neglect my reviewers! Reviews make me feel all sunny! Oh yes, I am following my fish…
