Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy questions

What ever happened to her after she disappeared? She learned to fly with Arthur, and then in a ride in space, poof, she's gone. And I don't remember finding anything else out about what happened.

And what exactly is the most dangerous creature / person that escaped from that ship. Located at Plural Z Alpha, etc.?

😕

Put it in SOME kind of context, maybe?

The girl that he meets. She is the one that realized gods final message while at the coffee shop, and then after that, her feet never touched the ground. They met, and then Arthur got sent back in time later, and then he warped back to his normal time, and went to the cave that he was living, and it ended up being her house.

Well, on a space ship when they were going somewhere, she just disappeared. They said that kind of thing happens in Sector 66 Plural Z Alpha or whatever....

hmm...ok, i sort of remember the girl in the coffee shop and realizing the message but none of the other stuff you mentioned. guess i need to read the books again. its been probably 8 years or so since i read them.

At the beginning of the fifth book, she vanishes abruptly during a hyperspace jump on their first intergalactic holiday. Douglas Adams later claimed that he wanted rid of the character as she was getting in the way of the story. Much of this is evident from the self-referential prose surrounding Arthur and Fenchurch's relationship.

In the Quintessential Phase, she is revealed to have been working as a waitress at Milliways since she vanished, and is reunited with Arthur Dent.

Thank you very much. I didn't think wikipedia would have that, as I didn't think to search there. And I now have something else to get for Douglas Adams reading. Awesome.

Adams is just random and thats what makes him so good IMO.

if you follow the books... she just plain disappears and Arthur and the Earth (all possible versions of it) are gone for good. Not my favorite ending... I rather just prefer the "So Long and thanks for all the Fish" ending. I'm a happy ending kinda guy. But hell it was still good. If you follow the radio there's a different ending. Douglass Adams did this on purpose because he wanted to tell a different story every time. That's actually part of the reason why the movie has very few plot elements in common with the book.
