Hitchhiker's Guide: Better Than Tea by afrai
Better Than Tea (Ford/Arthur | PG13 | 2,513 words) has Zaphod and Ford getting drunk and Zaphod questioning why, exactly, did Ford decide to bring Arthur along. The narration is funny in a similar way as the original book. And Zaphon is his outrageously annoying self.
Excerpt:
Zaphod leaned against the wall and gave Ford a look full of warmth, kindliness, and Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.
"Ford," he said, "if you don't tell me everything there is to know about your excitingly sordid affair with the Earthman, I will tell your mother exactly what it is you did on my 93rd birthday."
"That was your idea!" Ford said, outraged.
"She won't think so," said Zaphod, with aggravating serenity.
Ford groaned. He looked up at the ceiling, but it offered no help. The scourge of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's Genuine People Personalities had yet to spread to the ceiling, although its blank white surface did look rather irritatingly friendly.
