Author's Summary:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has something to say on the subject of chance meetings.

Review:
Loooved this. If you're at all familiar with the Hitchhiker's Guide books (and if you aren't, just. Just go read them, haha) then this fic will be like stepping into an old home. A hilarious, tongue-in-cheek old home that makes bubbling feelings of joy appear.

It's very much in line with the Hitchhiker's books. Arthur is desperate for tea and goes after the Doctor because, of course, the Doctor has bought all of the tea. Seeing as this is Not Fair, he proceeds after the Doctor and bumps into Rose, who is wonderful and human and ugh, my love for Rose, people.

This quote is kind of perfect: "Arthur watched them, trying to work things out. So the Doctor was a member of an almost immortal and omnipotent species that didn't exist, and Rose was one of those people who followed you round a department store because you couldn't be trusted looking through the racks on your own? And together they knocked around the universe in a bizarrely large police box?"

There's not much that actual happens and yet the fic is still brilliant. If you're a fan of Hitchhiker's Guide and Doctor Who then definitely check this one out. If you're just a fan of one of the two... check this out anyway and it might convince you to pick up the other.
