"If she disappeared in a cloud of smoke, we could follow her." The Big Guy said.
"You're with us?" Teela asked.
"I thought so."
"Okay, carry on."
"Thank you. So we make our own cloud of smoke. Anyone got a match?"
A chorus of no's greeted him.
"Um, this could take a while..."

Meanwhile, in another dimension, Ebo ran happily along the beach, naked as a Jaybird.
Her old memory was gone, she only could think of her Master's orders: "Count the sand."
So, Ebo danced and ran and counted the sand.

"One billion grains...one billion one grains...one billion two grains..." Ebo happily counted.
Meanwhile...
"So, all we have to do is rip a hole in the space-time continum, the very fabric holding all of ours lives together?" Teela asked.
"Uhh, yeah." the Big Guy said.
"Why didn't you say so? You were goin'g on about smoke and all..."
"The point is..." Tash said.
"Yes., the point. My friend has a machine that will do that. Now, will he lend it to me?" Teela said.

After a bit, they made it to Teela's friend's place.
"OK, this is the place" said Teela.
"Great, let's go get it from him." Tash replied.
"Well, there's a slight problem..."
"Teela, why is there a problem?" Tash asked.
"We really don't want to be having a problem." TJ continued.
"Can we pretend there isn't a problem?" added Kat.
Teela paused. "It's just that... I really don't wanna go talk to him."
"And why would that be?"
"We're kinda- ex."
"This is your ex? Your 'friend' with the machine is your ex?"
"Well, ex-friend, not ex, but yeah, it didn't end that well..."
"What happened?"

Weird, the guy who was my tiny bit of inspiration is my best bud.

"Well, we got into a big discussion about which is better, Windows or Mac."
"What about Linux, heard that's better than both." Ebo said.
"Yeah...Well, let's see if I can convince him to let me borrow the machine..."
They knocked, the door opened, and they saw...

...rows and rows of monkeys on typewriters.
"What's with the monkeys?" asked Tash.
"Um, well, like me and a couple friends, he's a humongus fan of Hitchhiker's Guide." Teela said.
"So..." another voice said.
"When Ford and Arthur are picked up by The Heart of Gold, the improbability is amazingly high, two to the power of 276,709 to one agaisnt."
"And..." someone else commented.
"There's something that asks if you had an infinite mumber of monkeys in an infinite number of typewriters, they'd sooner or later make a script for Hamlet."
"Ah. I see. How geeky is your friend?" Tash asked.
"Um, shall we see? It should be around here somewhere..."
"So, do we steal it if he won't lend it to us?" TJ asked.
"Yeah, about that. I don't know where it is, you see."
"You were on of his good friends, and you don't know where it is?!" the Big Guy asked in astonishment.
"Yeah, it's complicated."
And they kept on walking.

Wait, hold the phone, can we get a re-cap of who's a head, and who's a body, and whats goin on? I haven't been by in a while, although i get the idea it hasn't been updated in a while...but it shouldn't die, I'm always so very amused by these things. I could just read the thing i guess, but that sounds like work...

It'd probably be easier to read it. You know how involved and confusing these things can get.

Ok, I think i got it now.
---------------------------------
Ebo finished counting the sand, and suddenly, her masters new orders poped into her head, "Read this," and a small, leather bound bible appeared in front of her.
Causiosly, Ebo picked it up.
"Ahhh! It burns!" she shreiked and threw the bible back into the sand.
"Read it!" her master said via the voice in her head, "Read it! Read it!" The bible started floating and advancing toward Ebo. Ebo turned and ran, and the bible floated after her.
~Mienwhile, back at Teelas Ex's house~
The group (now reduced to Teela, Tash, TJ, and Kat, Right?), continued down the long halway.
"Should be behind one of these doors," Teela said.
"I would like to take a moment to point out that there are quite alot of doors," Tash said, looking at the hundreds of doors linning the hallway.
"Well, start opening," Teela said, pulling open the nearest to find a room full of gummi bears.
The next room yeiled a single cell phone on a gold podeum.
The next a large creature with tentacles making valentine cards.
The next had behives.
The next had strippers. "ooo, lets stay here a minute," Tash said.
"No," Teela said, "We gotta find the maciene and save Ebo."
"But...strippers..." Tash whinned.
"No."
"Couldn't we bring one with us?"
"No."
The next room was full of money. "Hey! This is better then the strippers!" Tash exclaimed.
"You can't have any of this either."
"Why not?"
"It's not yours, besides, where are you gonna put it? Its not like you have pockets."
