Joel sits on the floor in the center of the bridge and decides he won't cooperate. He'll wait until everything returns to normal. He'll wait till Dr. Forrester explains exactly what's going on. There has to be an explanation.

Rating: Teen

Author's summary: Arthur Dent meets an alien he can actually sort of relate to.
Author's notes: i doubt this appeals to anyone except myself. it doesn’t really matter though, because myself is who i wrote it for. (also i haven’t brushed up on my h2g2 knowledge in quite a while so apologies for any inaccuracies or mischaracterization! frank on the other hand i have no excuse for i’m just not that great at writing him i think)
Author's warnings: None
Additional tags: Post Rocky Horror-Canon, Except Frank didn’t die, Crack Crossover, Crack Treated Seriously, Light Angst, Hurt/Comfort, but only kind of, Unexpected Bonding, I don’t know what this is, Frank is Zaphod’s ex-situationship, Bisexual Freak Ford Prefect, Frank just went back to Transexual instead of being killed

My comment: "Neat concept. I quite like it. From what I remember of Rocky Horror, I think you nailed Frank's tone of speaking, like that he made Arthur's name sound "thick and sticky"."

Quote:
Arthur perked up, not unlike a dog upon hearing the front door opening. “I’m sorry, did you say Earth?”

“Yes.” Frank looked at him. “Tiny blue-green planet. Fun little people with all these silly rules. Fascinating culture, really, because it’s ridiculous how-“

On the 125th Story by Random_Guise
Fandom: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Characters: Arthur, Benjy Mouse, Frankie Mouse
Rating: General
Words: 2439

Author's summary: Arthur Dent has another encounter with Benjy and Frankie Mouse shortly after arriving with his group at Milliways. I don't own these characters, and even if I did I would still follow good advice and Don't Panic. Written as my 125th story (at the time).
Author's notes: For my 125th story, a tale that ends up ON the 125th story, with a few stops at earlier stories along the way. The building has a bit of inspiration from the Heinlein story "...and He Built a Crooked House".
Author's warnings: None

My comment: "Good one, very Adamsesque tone!"

Quote:
"That's the easy part. We've brought you to a special building; you're in the basement of a building 125 stories tall" Benjy explained. "Actually, none of the floors exist together but thanks to an extension into the fourth spacial dimension…"
"…it's amazing what you save on property tax by doing it that way…" Frankie interjected.
