Futurama Porn Story: Miscarrage Of Justice Chapter 1
Leela: “Fry? Fry? Can you hear me?”
Fry started to come around and blinked several times
Fry: “Huh? Wha..” then he remembered what Leela had said moments before
“Pregnant?”
Leela: “Hang on Fry, we need to have our wedding photo’s taken and you just
ruined it”
Fry got up off the ground, dusted himself off and once again prepared to
have the photo taken.
Afterwards at the reception Fry and Leela danced their first dance as a
married couple.
Fry: “Are you really pregnant!?” he asked as they moved around the floor
Leela: “Yes, I took a test and it came up positive”
Fry: “Wow, I don’t know what to say”
Leela: “Heh me either”
The song ended and Fry sat down. Throughout the rest of the dinner he sat
and thought about what Leela had told him, it seemed a lot to take in.
Everyone had a dance with the new bride, although Leela declined to dance
with the Professor for too long because he kept stepping on her feet.
Soon it was time for Fry and Leela to leave for their honeymoon, which the
rest of the crew had surprised them with after the wedding. They were
about to spend a week at a fabulous hotel on the planet Starova.
Fry held open the door of the car, Leela climbed inside and Fry followed
her. As the car sped along towards the spaceport Fry took Leela’s hand.
Fry: “I’m sorry about earlier, I think I gave you the wrong impression
about what you told me, I am happy about it”
Leela: “Fry its not an it, its our baby, but I’m glad your happy about it,
its going to be fantastic we will be a real family”
As the car pulled into the spaceport Fry took a moment to stare at the
wonder that was the 31st century, the spacecraft. He had seen many
thousands over the few years since he had awoken in the future but he still
felt in awe knowing that they could take you to the edge of the universe
and back. Take you possibly where no man had gone before to new planets
and strange situations, sometimes when he was on the planet express ship he
would stand at the helm and shut his eyes and for one brief moment he was
Kirk piloting the enterprise. It was as though he had dreamed about it so
many times back in the 20th century and now he could know what it was truly
like to board such a magnificent creature.
He had obviously been staring for more than a moment because he felt
Leela’s hand on his shoulder.
Leela: “Fry are you ok? Come on we’ve gotta go take our seats on the ship”
Fry: “Oh yea sorry I’m fine” he followed Leela aboard the ship
Another advantage to the spaceships compared to the planes of Fry’s time
was that those spaceships were so huge you could wonder around them during
the whole of the trip rather than stuck in a tiny seat for several hours.
Of course there was seating available and you could get much further
outside of the planet earth then you used to be able to get just travelling
across country.
Fry and Leela remained seated as the ship took off but as they moved
outside of the Earth’s atmosphere they decided to take a look around the
ship.
Fry immediately made his way to the bar and ordered a beer.
Leela: “Fry! I can’t drink in my condition” she said
Fry: “Oh yea, well just come and sit next to me I will order you a tonic
water or a Slurm or something”
Leela sat next to Fry on the stool. “So what do you think our hotel will be
like?”
Fry: “I hope it has a pool” he said opening his beer and taking a drink “Do
they still have in flight movies?”
Leela: “Yea in fact this ship has its own movie theatre, wanna go check it
out?”
Fry picked up his beer and put his free arm around Leela “I know what I’d
like to check out” he said looking Leela up and down.
Leela: “Fry there will be plenty of time for that at the hotel” she playful
hit him on the shoulder.
They walked around the ship for about half an hour looking for the movie
theatre.
Fry: “This ship is huge!”
Leela: “Come on we must be getting close”
At last they found it and settled down to watch a romantic action thriller
movie. After it had finished Leela suggested that they try and find the
dining room.
Fry: “I dunno Leela we could die of hunger before we find it!” he said
laughing
Leela: “I think we passed it on the way here”
They found the dining room and quickly got a table.
Leela: “There’s not many people in here” she looked around her
Fry: “Perhaps they got lost looking for it”
They both laughed quietly as the waiter came over, they ordered their food,
ate it and were both in the middle of desert when an announcement came over
the speaker system.
“Ladies and gentlemen I am pleased to tell you that we have now reached our
destination, Starova, if you would now make your way towards the exit a
steward will be ready with your luggage. May I remind you that you must
have your boarding pass and your luggage ticket with you before your
luggage is issued to you. Thank you for flying with us and we hope you
have a very pleasant stay”
Leela: “I guess we had better try to find the exit, do you still have the
luggage ticket?”
Fry: “Yea its here somewhere” he started to search his pockets as they
walked towards what they hoped was the exit.
Leela: “Fry we are nearly there where’s the ticket?”
Fry: “Um..its gotta be here” he frantically searched his person
once again “Maybe I put it in my wallet” he put his hand on the back of
his pants “Oh wait ‘s my wallet?”
Leela stifled a laugh “We won’t get our luggage if you don’t find it!”
Fry: “Ok here’s my wallet” he fumbled with his wallet for a couple of
minutes before dropping it on the floor “Oh damn” he reached down to pick
it up and as he did so he noticed something sticking out of his left sock.
“Here’s the luggage ticket!” he proclaimed proudly handing it to Leela. “I
remember now I put it there so I wouldn’t lose it”
Leela: “Thank god you didn’t lose it or we would be spending the whole of
our honeymoon reclaiming our lost luggage” she said to Fry as she handed
the luggage ticket to the nearest steward who gave them their luggage and
bid them “Good day”
Walking off the ship took a while as there were many other people trying to
do the same, but as they finally walked off the ship they could see that
the sun was shining brightly and there was a cool breeze in the air.
Fry hosted up his suitcase in one hand and grabbed Leela’s suitcase in his
other hand.
Fry: “Man, how much did you pack?” he seemed to struggle under the weight
of Leela’s suitcase because his body tilted to the right.
Leela: “Here let me carry it” she took the suitcase from Fry and headed
towards the nearest map of the planet.
Fry followed her carrying his own suitcase easily. Even with her heavy
suitcase in her hand Leela reached the map way ahead of Fry who came up
behind her about a minute later.
Leela: “So if we are here, then the hotel must be….”
Fry turned to his right “Uhhh over there?” he pointed
Leela: “Fry I think I can read a map, I just need to find Barket Street”
she moved her finger around the map
Fry: “But Leela” he said looking at a smaller hand map that Hermes had
given him containing directions to the hotel, the address of the hotel and
a handy picture of the front of the hotel, “I’m sure that hotel right over
there is…”
Leela turned to look where Fry was looking “That hotel? That can’t possibly
be the..”
Fry held up the picture Hermes had given him
Leela: “..right one” she sheepishly looked at Fry “Sorry I’m just used to
taking control you know?”
Fry lifted up his suitcase “I know” he replied walking towards the hotel.
Fry and Leela approached the hotel, Leela with little more then disconsern
on her face.
Leela: “It seems .lived in” she finished
Fry: “I dunno sorta reminds me of the good old 20th century” he looked at
Leela
Leela: “Well hopefully we will be spending more time out of the hotel than
inside it”
Fry: “I don’t” he said grinning widely opening the door of the hotel to let
Leela inside.
They walked up to the front desk, a thin sharp dressed man in blue turned
to look at them from behind the desk.
Man: “Hello and Welcome to the hotel Hawaiian Place, how may I help you?”
Fry: “Uh Hi we have a room booked under the name..uh..Hermes Conrad or
Philip J Fry?”
Man: “Don’t you know sir?”
Fry: “Well its just that its our honeymoon and our friends booked this as a
surprise for us, but I’m not quite sure under what name they booked it”
Man: “I do have a room under the name of Fry, would that be you sir?”
Fry: “Yea!” he said hurriedly “Yea that’s us”
Leela: “Twenty bucks says Hermes booked the room, he would be this
efficient”
Fry: “Yea” he said taking the two cardkeys from the man behind the counter
Man: “Have a nice day!”
They moved to their left and walked through a pair of double doors leading
to a long corridor with three elevators on one side and three one the
other.
Fry: “Which elevator are we supposed to take”
Leela looked at her cardkey “Second elevator, floor five, room 16”
They pressed the button for the second elevator and waited patiently for it
to arrive. Fry put his suitcase on the floor whilst he waited, he then put
his hands behind his back and began to whistle, and as he was in mid
whistle he noticed Leela. She was staring intently at the top of the
elevator doors watching the numbers as they clicked down moving closer to
their floor. Fry stopped whistling.
Fry: “Are you ok Leela?” he put a concerning hand on her shoulder
She turned to look at him “Yea I just wish this elevator would hurry up I’m
feeling a bit tired that’s all” she smiled at him
Just then the elevator reached their floor and the doors pinged open, Leela
stepped inside closely followed by Fry.
The inside of the elevator was very bright, due to many tiny lights on the
ceiling of the elevator, the walls had mirrors and the inside of the doors
were a gold colour.
Fry: “Wow this elevators nice” he said in an attempt to make conversation,
he didn’t know why but he still felt kind of worried about Leela.
Leela: “Hmm”
The elevator moved gracefully up to the fifth floor and the doors pinged
open once again. Fry dragged his suitcase out of the elevator and started
looking for the room numbered 16.
Fry: “Ah here it is” he waited for Leela to join him
Leela: “Here” she opened the door.
On first look inside the room Fry and Leela thought the elevator must have
taken them to a different hotel, because compared to the downstairs part of
the hotel the upstairs part was paradise. They entered the room, right
ahead of them was a large comfortable couch and in front of it was placed a
reasonable large TV. There were two huge windows to the right of the couch
and a king size bed to the left. The two windows on the right gave a
lovely view of the beach and sea. There was a trunk at the end of the bed
and though the left walls had no windows they did have a closet, and a door
leading to a bathroom.
Fry gave a low whistle “Thank you Hermes” he whispered
Leela put her suitcase next to the couch and went to lie on the bed. She
lay on her back, shut her eye and gave a contented sigh.
Fry went and lay next to her on her left, he stroked her hair and kissed
her closed eyelid.
Fry: “I’m going to go check out the our surroundings, unless you want me to
stay with you?”
Leela opened her eye “No that’s ok you go ahead” before shutting her eye
again.
Fry: “Ok see you in a while” he jumped off the bed and made his way out of
the door.
Fry made his way back down the corridor and back into the elevator. He
pushed the down button and it took him to the first floor, where he walked
back into the reception.
Fry: “Hey buddy” he said to the guy behind the counter “You got a pool
here?”
Man: “No sir I’m afraid not, but I can assure you that the sea is the
perfect place to swim his time of year”
Fry looked behind him through the windows at the sea view.
Fry: “Hey thanks!” he walked outside into the warm heat of the sun beating
down on him. As he stood outside the hotel doors contemplating which way
to go he saw a nearby map like the one Leela was looking at when she was
looking for the hotel. He walked over to it and surveyed it. A helpful
arrow marked You Are Here indicated that the hotel was right on the sea
front, which Fry already knew was there. He thought he would wait and walk
on the sand when Leela was with him. So instead he walked away to the left
of the hotel towards an old style games arcade, not many people were around
as Fry entered and started looking around at the games. The whole place
seemed to be set out with really old video arcade games, which Fry
immediately, recognised.
Fry: “Pac-man, Donkey Kong…woah Space Invaders!” he ran over to the
console and inserted a quarter.
A couple of hours later Leela awoke and looked around her forgetting for a
second where she was. She lay there for several minutes then decided that
she should get up and unpack. She had finished unpacking hers and Fry’s
suitcase’s by the time he came back from the arcade.
Fry: “Hey Leela, you wouldn’t believe it! They’ve got this awesome arcade
with video games from my time!”
Leela: “Sounds great, what else do they have here?”
Fry: “Else?”
Leela: “You said you were going to go check out the surrounding area?”
Fry: “Oh yea, Man I completely forgot! I was playing Space Invaders all
afternoon”
Leela: “Well I have unpacked all your stuff so you haven’t got that to do”
Fry: “Gee thanks, hey do you wanna go for a walk on the beach?”
Leela: “Yea ok”
Fry held out his arm, which Leela took, and he led her out of the door.
As they started walking down the beach the sun was setting behind them on
the horizon.
Leela: “Fry this was a lovely idea” she said
Fry: “You feeling better now?”
Leela: “Yea, I guess the journey just tired me out”
They stopped on the edge of the sand and looked out to sea, as they stood
listening to the sound of the sea lapping against the shore, Fry turned to
Leela and kissed her.
Fry: “I love you Leela”
Leela put her head on Fry’s shoulder.
Leela: “I know you do”
They then walked slowly back to their hotel room.
The next morning Fry was still fast asleep when Leela woke up. She got out
of bed, got dressed and tried to wake Fry up.
Leela: “Fry come on they will be serving breakfast soon!”
Fry murmured and rolled over “Wha?”
Leela: “I said they will be serving breakfast soon, so get up!”
Fry: “Uh come on this is our honeymoon”
Leela: “But I want to tour the island today” she held up a leaflet “There
is all sorts of interesting sites to see that formed the backbone of our
society”
Fry: “No offence but it sounds boring”
Leela: “Fine you stay here, I’ll go alone” she picked up her bag
Fry sat up in bed “Wait Leela, I don’t want you to be mad at me”
Leela: “I’m not mad, its your honeymoon too you can do what you like, I
just thought you would like to spend it with me”
Fry: “You are mad I can tell”
Leela: “Enjoy your day Fry” she said walking out of the room
Fry looked at his hands “Well I should enjoy my day, its my honeymoon too”
he told himself. He got up and got dressed and went down to breakfast
hoping that Leela had stopped there on her way out. When he got there he
ate his breakfast keeping an eye out for Leela, but she wasn’t around.
“I guess I will go back to the arcade if Leela’s going to be away all day”
He made his way over to the arcade and spent several hours there before
realising that he was really hungry and should probably stop as his fingers
were getting kinda cramped. He walked outside and looked around for a
suitable place to eat.
“Wow Slurm have introduced Slurm-tastic! A new flavour!” he put his hands
in his pockets but he couldn’t find his wallet.
“Damn I must have left it back in the hotel” he told himself. He walked
back to the hotel quite quickly eager to try the new Slurm flavour, once
inside the hotel he hurried up to the hotel room and searched around in the
many drawers looking for his wallet. After a few minutes searching he
heard a knock at the door.
“Oh Leela must have forgotten her key” he opened the door to find the thin
man from the hotel Reception standing there.
Receptionist: “Excuse me sir, I have a message for you, its from the
hospital, they have been trying to contact you for a while now, your
wife..uh..Leela? has been taken unwell and rushed there about an hour ago,
they asked that you go there as soon as possible”
Fry: “Oh My God Leela!, Is she alright?”
Receptionist: “I’m sorry sir they didn’t tell me anything over the phone”
Fry: “I..but..um.I don’t know where the hospital is!” he said frantically
Receptionist: “I can tell you sir, just go out of the hotel and around the
corner, then go up to the end of the street that’s where the hospital is”
Fry grabbed his jacket that he had thrown on the couch and ran out of the
door, he got into the elevator and jabbed at the 1st floor button
repeatedly praying for it to speed up. Once he had reached the first floor
he ran out of the hotel doors and around the corner, and started racing as
fast as he could up to the end of the street and burst through the hospital
doors.
The receptionist looked up startled as Fry burst through the doors and ran
up to her desk.
Fry: “Um.. wife..Leela, brought here an hour ago” he panted
Receptionist: “Ok, Let me just check for you Mr…”
Fry: “Fry”
The receptionist turned to her computer and typed something into it.
Receptionist: “Ah yes, Toronga Leela?”
Fry: “Yes I’m her husband I was told she was brought in an hour ago”
Receptionist: “I will have a nurse come down and take you to her, please
take a seat”
Fry looked down at the floor, “Oh Ok” he sank down into the nearest chair
available. The next 5 minutes seemed to be the longest of his life,
sitting not knowing what was going on, the worst thoughts were going
through his mind, What if she were dying, or already dead? He had started
getting very edgy when a nurse approached him.
Nurse: “Mr Fry?”
He stood up “Yes, yes that me”
Nurse: “Please follow me”
The nurse led him out of the reception through some double doors and down
the corridor.
Nurse: “Leela is here just on the left” she turned to a door with a number
thirty-six on it
Fry looked through the small window and saw Leela lying on the bed.
Fry: “Can I go in?” he asked the nurse
Nurse: “Yes, but she seems to be in shock and will need her rest”
Fry: “Ok, Can you tell me what happened?”
Nurse: “I think it would be best for Leela to tell you herself” she replied
“But I can assure you that Leela will be fine”
Fry turned back to the door and slowly opened it, Leela was asleep her head
tilting to her left he could see that she had been crying, he carefully
shut the door as to make no noise and wake her up and crept over to a chair
next to her bed.
He was so relieved that she would be all right, but there was a small part
of him that felt bad for their fight that morning.
As he looked at her she started to wake up.
Leela: “Fry?”
Fry: “Hey Leela how are you feeling?”
Leela: “I’m ok, I guess they told you what happened?”
Fry: “No nobody has told me anything” he moved to sit on the side of her
bed and took her hand in his.
Leela sat up “I started feeling really ill as I was walking around the
island, I just thought it was the heat or something but then I got some
really sharp pains in my stomach and the next thing I remember was someone
had called an ambulance”
Fry: “Leela I’m sure everything will be ok with the baby” he put his arms
around her as she started to cry
Leela wiped her eyes “No Fry you don’t understand” she pulled away from Fry
and looked at him wiping away another tear
Fry: “What is it?”
Leela: “I lost the baby” she started to cry again
Fry didn’t say a word. He just stared at the floor for several minutes
before looking back at Leela.
Fry: “So when can you get out of here?”
Leela: ” said sometime today as long as you were here to go with me”
Fry: “I will go ask them if you can leave now” he got up, kissed Leela and
left through the door leaving Leela with a confused look on her face.
Doesn’t he care? She asked herself He didn’t even look upset.
Fry walked back into the room
Fry: “Ok Leela we can go now” he put his arm round her shoulder
Leela: “Fine” she replied standing up from the bed
Leela: “Don’t you care?”
Fry: “What?”
They were both back in their hotel room and Leela was sitting on the bed
watching Fry flick mindlessly through the channels on TV.
Leela: “I said don’t you care?, Fry we just lost our baby and you don’t
even seem to care”
He got up from the couch and sat next to her.
Fry: “Look Leela, ever since you were stung by that bee, I have been scared
to death something was going to happen to you, so when they told me you
were in hospital I feared the worst. So when I saw you were ok I was,
don’t get mad, but I was relieved, I just wanted to get out of the hospital
you know?”
Leela put her head on Fry’s shoulder and he put his arms around her.
Fry: “I am upset Leela, I just need time to think”
Leela: “Ok”
Fry: “Um, wanna get some lunch?, they got a new Slurm flavour down at the
food court”
Leela smiled “Yea sounds good”
Fry, making sure he grabbed his wallet, opened the door for Leela, and they
both walked hand in hand to the food court.
“One Slurm-tastic! Please” Fry ordered
Leela: “I will just have an ordinary Slurm please”
Fry paid for their drinks and carried them to a table in the courtyard.
The courtyard was set out in a circle with food and drink stands all
arranged in a circle with many tables and bench’s in the middle. There
were quite a few people around in the early evening, as Fry and Leela sat
sipping their drinks.
Leela: “So how’s the new Slurm working out?”
Fry: “Really good, I’m glad it wasn’t outlawed”
Leela: “Just don’t get too addicted this time” she laughed
They both fell silent.
Leela: “Fry I can’t just pretend this isn’t happening, I don’t know what to
do”
Fry moved around the table and sat by Leela
Fry: Leela you shouldn’t feel bad, remember this isn’t your fault, we can
always try for a baby when you feel up to it”
Leela: “I know” she sipped her drink”
Fry: “Do you want to go back to the hotel and rest? You know the doctor
said it was really important”
Leela: “Yea ok” she finished off her drink and stood up
As they walked back to the hotel they took the route across the beach.
Leela: “Fry is there something wrong with me?”
Fry stopped walking “What do you mean?”
Leela: “Maybe I was too stressed out or something, maybe I didn’t take it
easy enough or I did something, its my fault, its my fault that we lost our
baby!” she frantically cried as she sunk down onto her knees in the sand.
Fry kneeled down next to her.
Fry: “Leela that’s crazy, you didn’t do anything. It was nobody’s fault
especially not yours.” He put his arms around her and pulled her close to
him so that she was resting on his chest.
Leela: “But, I don’t understand what happened, Fry, it was going to be so
perfect”
Fry: “No Leela, it will be perfect, I promise” he squeezed her hand “Come
on let me take you back to the hotel, its getting cold”
Fry stood up and pulled Leela up next to him. Then he slowly led her back
to the hotel.
The next morning Leela was still asleep when Fry woke up. He looked over
at her and instantly remembered what had happened the previous day.
I probably should have been more sensitive he thought to himself
Leela stirred in her sleep and murmured something.
Fry got out of bed and got dressed and then sat on the couch to watch TV,
he was mindlessly flicking through the channels when something outside of
the window caught his eye. He turned off the television and moved towards
the window, what he could see was a rather large spaceship landing, but not
just any spaceship, he could swear that he had seen it before. As he stood
there trying to remember where he had seen this ship before something
flashed into his mind.
Flashback
Fry, Leela and Bender were stood together in front of the Planet Express
ship waiting for a ship to land, as it came into landing a few feet from
the Planet Express crew the doors opened and the captain walked out of the
ship to join them.
Flashback Ends
Fry: “Oh my god that’s Captain Washington’s ship” he whispered to himself.
He stood with his hands up against the window staring at the ship as it
landed on the small spaceport they had landed on when they first arrived.
He kept watching for another fifteen minutes before the doors opened, and
as though Fry were experiencing da ja vue, the Captain walked off the ship
and stood surveying his surroundings.
Fry watched as the captain was joined by one of his crewmembers that
pointed towards the hotel Hawaiian Place, said something and then walked
back into the spaceship. Captain Washington stared intently at the hotel
for several minutes before turning and walking back into his ship, the
doors closing behind him.
Fry looked at Washington’s ship for a couple more minutes before deciding
that nothing more was going to happen, he turned and leaned his back
against the window his brow furrowed in thought.
Leela sat up in bed and rubbed her eye. She noticed Fry staring at the
floor over by the window.
Leela: “Fry what are you doing?”
Fry: “Huh?” he jumped at the sound of Leela’s voice “Oh Leela your awake,
I.I was just thinking about something”
Leela: “The baby?”
Fry: “Uh yea” he lied deciding that he wasn’t going to upset Leela anymore
then she already was. He went and sat by her on the bed in case she
decided to get up and join him by the window.
Leela put her hand on Fry’s arm “So it finally hit you too huh?. Why don’t
we go and take it easy on the beach?”
Fry: “Uhhh I dunno I thought we could just stay here and..um..watch tv?”
Leela: “Fry, we can do that at home”
Fry: “Hey why don’t we go get breakfast first? I don’t know about you but
I’m starved!”
Leela: “Yea ok” she said.
Leela pushed the covers off herself and put her feet on the floor, then she
slowly and painfully stood up from the bed. Fry watched her with a
questioning look on his face.
Fry: “Leela are you ok?” he stood next to her and helped her stand.
Leela: “I’m starting to feel pain that’s all, the doctor said I would” she
put her arm around Fry’s neck.
Fry helped Leela walk to the bathroom.
Fry: “Will you be ok?”
Leela: “I’ll be fine” she took her arm from around Fry’s neck, opened the
bathroom door and walked inside.
Fry put his hand on the closed door and shut his eyes; nothing ever seemed
to go right for Leela he thought.
He walked back over to the window and peered out of it, but there was
nothing going on around Washington’s ship.
He then went and sat back down on the couch, he could hear the shower being
turned on and then not long after being turned off. He could hear Leela
pattering around in the bathroom, but he was also thinking about
Washington. What was he doing here?
Leela exited the bathroom and joined Fry on the couch.
Leela: “So ready to go?”
Fry: “Yep” he jumped up from the couch and held out his arm to Leela “May I
escort the lady?”
Leela laughed and took Fry’s arm.
After breakfast Fry and Leela took the elevator back up to their hotel
room, on the way Leela was talking about what they should do with the rest
of their day. The elevator doors pinged open and they stepped out onto
their floor.
Fry: “I will just go unlock our room” he ran ahead of Leela, opened the
door to their room and ran to the window to check if Washington’s ship was
still there. It was gone.
Before Fry could even think about being relieved Leela was at the door.
Leela: “Fry is something wrong? There was no need to go ahead to open the
door and you seem jumpy are you ok?”
Fry: “Yea, yea everything’s fine, I was just checking to make sure the
weather’s ok since you wanna go to the beach”
Leela: “Five minutes ago you were against it”
Fry: “Well I.I changed my mind”
Leela: “Great come on lets go”
Fry grabbed Leela’s hand “Sure”
On the beach Leela lay in the sand and closed her eye, the sun was beating
down on them and it was the first time since they had arrived on the planet
Starova that she felt so relaxed and happy.
Fry sat in the sand next to her building a sand castle and reminiscing
about when he used to build castles with his brother Yancy, and then later
on in life with Seymour.
Leela sat up.
Leela: “Fry I’m going to get a drink do you want anything?”
Fry: “A Slurm please”
Leela: “Slurm-tastic or Original?”
Fry: “Tastic, do you want me to go and get it?, I’m practically done with
the castle”
Leela laughed “No that’s ok you finish it, I won’t be long”
Fry: “Ok Leela” he said turning back to the castle and becoming lost in
making a moat.
Ten Minutes Later
Fry: “That is one fine castle” he stood back to admire his handiwork “I
can’t wait to show Leela” he turned and looked around him “Hey where is
she?”
He stood and looked towards the foot court where Leela had been heading “I
guess the queue is just really long or something” he went back to his
castle.
Another ten minutes later and Fry was starting to get worried. “Maybe she
just stopped to talk to someone or something” he assured himself. “I had
better go find her just in case”
He collected up his and Leela’s belongings and headed towards the food
court. Once he got there he looked around, there were a lot of people
walking around so it was quite hard to see anyone in particular even though
Leela only had one eye. Fry stood and kept an eye out for Leela for five
minutes before deciding to go and put their stuff in their room and check
to see if Leela was there.
“Maybe she got tired or had to go and fetch something” he suggested to
himself as he walked back along the beach towards the hotel. He pushed
open the door and walked into the reception area.
Receptionist: “Good Afternoon Sir”
Fry: “Hey, uh you haven’t seen my wife, Leela, have you?”
Receptionist: “No I’m sorry I have not”
Fry: “Thanks” he walked through the double doors that led to the elevators
and made his way to their hotel room. Fry opened the door expecting to see
Leela inside, but she wasn’t there.
Fry threw their stuff on the couch and walked out of the room, back down to
the reception and out of the hotel. He took a quick look in either
direction and the made his way back to the food court taking the beach
route in case Leela had walked back that way. Leela was not on the beach,
and when Fry arrived at the food court although the amount of people
walking around had subsided Leela was nowhere to be seen.
Fry: “Hey buddy” he said to one of the guys stood at the drinks stall “Have
you seen a girl with purple hair and one eye around anywhere?”
Guy: “Yea she was stood at Al’s stand, over there” the guy pointed to
another guy stood at a stall almost like the one Fry was standing by.
Fry: “Hey thanks!”
Fry walked over to Al, who the other guy had pointed out to him.
Fry: “Hi, are you Al?”
Al: “Yea that’s me, what can I do for ya?”
Fry: “I’m looking for my wife Leela, that guy over there said he saw her
over here at your stand, she has purple hair and one eye did you see her?”
Al: “Yea I saw her, she bought a Slurm-tastic and one regular Slurm, just
as she was stepping out of the queue some guy came up to her and said
something and she walked off with him towards the spaceport”
Fry: “The spaceport?, ok thanks for the help” he walked away from Al and
looked over towards the spaceport.
“Washington!” he said to himself in a low voice clenching his fist in rage.
Fry started marching towards the spaceport, thoughts of what he was going
to do to Washington running through his mind.
Once he reached the spaceport he looked around for Washington’s ship, but
it was not around, he looked over to the right of the spaceport and noticed
a small door set in what looked like a heating duct.
He walked over to it and opened it, as he looked inside he saw a set of
winding stairs leading downwards, he stepped inside onto the first step
closing the door behind him. He slowly and carefully made his way down the
stairs, stopping to listen ever now and again in case he could hear anyone
coming up the stairs. A couple of minutes later he reached the bottom
step. There was another door which he open very slowly in case there was
someone behind it, as he peered out of the crack in the door he could see
that nobody was around, all he could see was a big grey thing, as he opened
the door fully he realised that it was Washington’s ship.
Fry stood in the doorway looking at the ship, which seemed to be in some
sort of secret base underneath the spaceport itself. He looked up at the
ceiling and it became clear that the ship had entered through the ceiling,
which obviously could be opened and closed.
There didn’t seem to be any security guards about so Fry made his way over
to the ship and tried to find a door or some sort of hatch so that he would
be able to get into the ship itself. As he was searching the outside of
the ship he heard a noise from inside the ship, it seemed to be coming
closer so Fry quickly hid behind some nearby boxes, from where he could
still get a good view of the ship and anyone that came out of it.
He sat very still behind the boxes for several minutes and was about to go
back over to the ship when the hanger door in the ship opened and two
formal looking men of Washington’s crew walked out.
Man1: “So why do we have the day off again?”
Man2: “I told you Washington said he has some important top secret things
to do, so he has let all the crew off for the day”
Man1: “I hope he’s working on giving us a raise!”
The second man laughed as they walked up the stairs through which Fry had
been.
Fry waited for about two seconds before jumping out from his hiding place
and running up into the ship through the hanger door which, the careless
crew had left open.
Once inside the ship Fry had to stop and let his eyes adjust to the
different lighting conditions. Outside of the ship in the secret base it
had been quite light, but inside of the ship it was dark. Fry walked along
the passage not sure where it was leading to. The metal grate below his
feet made a clinking noise as he walked along and small round lights on the
ceiling lit the way.
All of a sudden Fry came to a tangent in the passageway, now he had a
choice, he could either continue straight down the passage which he was
already on or he could follow the passage to the left. He stood and
debated which way to go for several seconds.
Fry: “They both look the same!”
Fry took one last look at the passage ahead of him, then turned and started
to follow the left passageway. The passage Fry had chosen took his around
corners, up stairs and then back down again, just as Fry was thinking that
the passage would never end he came to a black door at the end of the
passage. Fry hid to the right of door and waved his hand in front of the
door so that it would open, he then peered cautiously around the doorframe
to make sure that nobody was about, and they weren’t.
The room itself was round with consoles around the edge of the room and a
chair in the middle. Fry immediately recognised it as the bridge of the
ship, and the chair in the middle was the captains’ chair. Fry walked over
to one of the consoles and brushed his hand over it, it looked different to
the Planet Express ship and Fry soon realised why, this ship seemed to be
running on low power, none of the consoles were lit up and that was why it
was so dark compared to outside of the ship.
Fry: “I guess with no crew everything’s just been shut down” he said to
himself
Just then a noise from behind him made Fry turn sharply.
Stood in the doorway was Captain Washington. He calmly walked past Fry and
sat in the Captains chair.
Washington: “So you found my ship and came aboard, I could have you taken
in for breaking and entering”
Fry stood behind Washington, staring at the back of his chair unsure of
what to say.
Fry: “Look what have you done with Leela?” he questioned Washington
Washington: “She is none of your concern now”
Fry: “She’s my wife of course she’s my concern!”
Washington: “No!, Leela is my concern, it might interest you to know that I
got a call from Starova General Hospital yesterday informing me that one
Toronga Leela had been released”
Fry: “Hey I don’t see what business it is of yours!”
Washington turned around in his chair to face Fry and stood up.
Washington: “What business is it of mine you ask?. The hospital called to
give me what they thought was bad news. For you see when Leela lost her
child, the hospital took a DNA test, what they didn’t tell you was that
Leela’s baby was also mine!”
Fry: “What?”
Washington: “That’s right your so called ‘loved one’ was carrying my
child!”
Fry: “But surly the hospital has no right to do that”
Washington: “This is the 30th century you idiot, its customary for the
hospital to call and give their condolences to the. .ahem father”
Fry: “Your sick! Because of you Leela has been through hell in the last few
months!”
Washington: “Face the facts you fool” he said moving towards Fry, “Leela’s
a worthless mutant, the scum of society, she’s….”
His next word was muffled by Fry’s fist making contact with Washington’s
jaw.
Leela: “Fry!”
Fry whirled around to see Leela standing in the doorway.
Fry: “Leela, your ok” he went to move towards her but noticed she was
staring at Washington’s form lying on the floor. He looked from Leela to
Washington and back again. “Leela I’m sorry.” he began, not even knowing
why he was apologising.
Leela turned and ran out of the room. Fry took one last look at Washington
and ran after her.
Leela was standing with her back to Fry just outside of the bridge door in
the passageway.
Fry: “Leela what’s wrong?” he reached out and put his hand on her shoulder.
Leela turned to face Fry.
Fry: “Leela, there are some weird voices inside my head telling me that you
would rather be with Washington than me. I dunno what it is, maybe the way
you just looked upset that I punched him, or the fact that you walked off
with him in the first place, but me their wrong”
Leela put her arms around Fry’s neck and hugged him “Fry that’s the nicest
thing anyone has ever done for me”
Fry: “Ok now I’m totally confused” he pulled Leela out of the hug and
looked at her “What?”
Leela smiled “You were protecting my honour”
Fry: “Leela he called you a….” he stopped
Leela: “I know” she looked at he feet “but I don’t care about that”
Fry: “But why did you go off with him in the first place?”
Leela: “He had a laser gun under his jacket, he said that if I didn’t go
with him he would kill you. Did he tell you about..”
Fry: “Yea”
Leela: “I’m sorry, I just don’t know what to feel now”
Fry: “Leela we have gotta report him to the police, We can’t let him get
away with it, he could stalk us for the rest of our lives!”
Leela: “Fry I get it ok, but.” Leela put her hand on her head
Fry: “But what?, are you ok Leela?”
Leela: “I feel weird” she said before collapsing on the floor
Fry: “Leela!” he cried kneeling down next to her on the floor. “Leela wake
up” he said again. Then he was hit from behind and knocked out.
Fry opened his eyes. His head hurt badly from where he had been
unexpectedly hit from behind. He sat up and realised he had been lying on
the floor, but he wasn’t in the corridor where he had been knocked out, he
was in a small room.
Fry looked around. The room was a square shape, quite small, with loads of
beds similar to those they slept on whilst aboard the Titanic. There was a
door to the south of the room and a bathroom to the east.
He got up and tried the door. “Damn its locked” he kicked the door in
frustration.
Just then he saw Leela lying on one of the beds, he walked over and kneeled
next to her bed, she was still out cold. He still couldn’t understand what
had happened to her, nobody had knocked her out she just sort of fell
unconscious. He glided his hand up her arm; there was something at the
top, near her shoulder. He looked more closely, it seemed to be something
stuck in her arm, to Fry it looked like a bee’s stinger. He pulled it out
of her arm and tossed it aside, a red mark where the stinger had been in
her arm slowly disappeared.
Fry: “I guess Leela must be super allergic to bee stings since she got
stung by the queen bee”
He wrapped his arms around his knees and put his head on the side of
Leela’s bed.
Fry: “Wake up Leela, I can’t go through this again” he whispered
His head was throbbing painfully by now, so he got up and lay on the bed
next to Leela’s.
Leela stirred and woke up. She felt very groggy and it took her a while
before she could think clearly and remember what happened.
Leela: “FRY!” she shot bolt upright in bed staring at the wall directly in
front of her.
Oh my god he might be hurt or dead, she thought.
Her eyes darted from the wall down to the bed she was on; she turned to the
right to get up from the bed when she saw Fry on the bed next to her.
She got up slowly her head still feeling heavy, and sat next to Fry on his
bed.
Leela: “Fry” she shook his arm “Fry can you hear me?”
Fry’s eyes opened and he sat up in bed “Leela your ok!” he put his arms
around her and hugged her. “I think you got stung by a bee again, you must
be really allergic since the last time you got stung by that queen”
Leela: “Fry I’m not allergic to bee stings, in fact the doctor said if I
could survive that much poison in my body one little bee sting isn’t going
to hurt me”
Fry: “But the bee’s stinger was in your arm” he got off the bed and got on
his hands and knees on the floor looking for the stinger. “I threw it here
somewhere”
He kept looking for several minutes before he found it. “Here” he picked
it up and returned to the bed next to Leela.
Leela looked at what Fry was holding in the palm of his hand, she picked it
up and looked more closely at it.
Leela: “Fry this isn’t a bee sting, it’s a dart”
Fry: “A dart?”
Leela: “Like they use on animals to knock them out”
Fry: “That is one small dart”
Leela: “Yea these are the new Dart 4000 prototypes, there not even on the
market yet”
Fry stood up “So he shot you with an un-tested dart, it could have killed
you” he punched the wall in anger. “I’m going to kill him, I’ll punch him
so hard…”
Leela: “Fry stop thinking about what you’re going to do to him when we
escape and start thinking of how we can escape”
Fry: “The door’s locked I tried it”
Leela: “I think I might have a credit card in my pocket, we might be able
to unlock it with that”
She pulled her card out of her pocket and pushed it in the gap between the
wall and the door. With one hand on the doorknob and the other hand
holding the card she slowly moved the card up and down turning the doorknob
as she did it.
Leela: “Come on, come on!” she urged it
Just as she was turning the doorknob for the third time she heard a noise
outside. She stopped moving the card and put her ear to the door.
Leela: “Psssst Fry come here” she whispered
Fry looked up and joined Leela at the door. With both their ears pressed
to the door they listened to what sounded like footsteps coming closer.
Then from outside the door they heard Washington’s voice.
Washington: “Look Ted we will be taking off in a few days right after I
have finished some business of mine”
Ted: “You mean those two you have got locked in there?”
Washington’s voice grew angry “How do you know about that?”
Ted: “Well me and Charlie just came back from the food court, he was
feeling sick so he wanted to come back earlier then planned, I told him
that he shouldn’t have had the shrimp but would he listen, in my opinion..
Washington: “Will you get on with it!”
Ted: “Yes Sir, well as I was saying me and Charlie came back early and we
saw you dragging them into that room there”
Washington: “Can I count on your discretion?”
Ted: “Oh yes sir!” he seemed to be excited at the chance to prove himself
to the captain
Washington: “Ok I will need you to do several duties for me, firstly they
will need feeding, take them your trays from the lunch hall, I will invite
you to my table to eat so you will not miss out”
Ted: “Thank you Sir”
Washington: “Secondly you can tell nobody about this, if they start to make
a lot of noise you may have to shoot them with a tranquilliser, can you
handle that?”
Ted: “Why yes Sir, we can handle that”
Washington: “Ok good, you may go now but I will expect to see you at my
table at lunchtime”
Leela and Fry listened to Ted’s footsteps moving away from them getting
more quieter the further away he got.
Then they heard Washington’s heavy footsteps approaching the door, they
moved away.
Washington put the key in the door and flung the door wide open.
Washington: “Ahh your awake!”
Leela noticed Washington had a large bruise on his face where Fry had
punched him, she glanced over to Fry who had his fists clenched in rage and
was clearly fighting the urge to get up and pop him one again.
Washington: “I hope you are enjoying you new surroundings, do not worry you
will not be here for long”
Leela: “Why are you doing this? What did we ever do to you?”
Washington: “I warned you that captains of our rank were not supposed to
fraternise with people lower in rank then ourselves, we need to stick
together, its how the world works. Rich people do not converse with poor
people and in turn we do not have anything to do with the subordinates
aboard the ships we captain”
Leela: “It’s a free world people can be involved with anyone they like
these days”
Washington: “In any case it is clear that you do not understand how the
world works, this..this boy” Washington gestured Fry’s way “that you choose
to be with is of lower class than say you or I and he needs to be kept in
his place, that is why you will soon be mine Leela and he will go back to
dating commonplace earth girls”
Washington turned on his heel and slammed the door behind him, turning the
key in the lock and marching off down the corridor of the ship.
Leela sighed and looked at Fry, he hadn’t said a word during the whole time
Washington had been in the room, now he was just staring at his shoes.
Leela got up and sat next to him. She put a reassuring hand on his arm.
Leela: “Fry are you ok?”
He looked up at her “Maybe he’s right, maybe I’m not good enough for you”
Leela smile at him “Hey I love you remember, do you really want me to live
an unhappy life with Washington when I could be having the time of my life
with you?”
Fry: “By the sounds of what he said I don’t think you will have much of a
choice”
Leela: “He’s hurt me enough I’m not going to let him do it again”
She went back to the door with her credit card and started once again to
try and get it to unlock.
Leela slumped down with her back against the door her credit card still in
her hand; she looked at her wrist thingy. The time was 6pm, she had been
trying to get the door unlocked for hours, and Fry had fallen asleep. She
got up and kicked the door in frustration before lying on one of the beds.
Half and hour later a key was inserted into the lock and the door was
opened a crack, just enough for whoever was on the other side to slide in
two dinner trays and shut the door again.
Leela sat up “Damn” she said to herself, she had been planning to lie in
wait for Ted to bring them their lunch trays and then when he opened the
door to knock him out and escape.
She looked at the trays, got up, lifted them from the floor and placed them
on her bed.
Leela: “Fry wake up”
Fry yawned and stretched “wha?”
Leela: “Lunch time”
Fry rolled out of his bed and joined Leela on hers “What is it?”
Leela: “Uhh Peas, some sort of meat, what looks likes potatoes and a red
jelly cube”
Fry: “Well at least the cube looks edible” he laughed
They both sat cross-legged on Leela’s bed with their trays on their laps.
Leela: “Ok here goes” she said tucking into her meal
Fry: “mhyou bhknow snot stat bad” he said with a mouth full of food
Leela: “What?”
Fry swallowed “Its not that bad”
Leela smiled “No I guess not, here do you want my jelly cube?” she moved it
from her tray onto Fry’s
Fry: “Hey thanks Leela!”
When they had finished eating they put their trays aside and lay together
on Leela’s bed.
Fry: “Do you think they will bring us breakfast?”
Leela: “I hope so I was planning on knocking Ted out and escaping”
Fry: “So the credit card was no go then?”
Leela: “Nope” she shut her eye and leaned against Fry’s chest
Fry held her tight with his arm and stroked her hair with his free hand
“Night Leela” he kissed her
But Leela was already asleep.
The next morning Leela woke up, it was 7am; she sat up and looked at the
floor by the door. There were no trays so she assumed Ted had not stopped
by yet. She moved Fry’s arm from around her and slipped of the bed.
Then she picked up her lunch tray and sat behind the door with it. 7.30am
came and went. She was beginning to think that maybe Washington had
ordered that they were to not have any breakfast, when she heard footsteps
coming closer to their room. She prepared herself by putting one hand on
the doorknob and holding on to the tray with her left hand.
Ted put the key in the door and turned it, he let go of the key and took
hold of the doorknob turning it slowly as to not wake up the prisoners. He
had just started to open the door when it was pulled fully open from behind
and he was hit over the head with a tray.
Leela had hit him as hard as she could and he had gone down like a lead
weight. She stopped for a second just to make sure he was out and then
tossed the tray aside and grabbed Fry by the arm.
Leela: “Quick Fry come on” she urged
Fry sensed the urgency in Leela’s voice and sat up, he was then pulled off
the bed and out through the open door by Leela before he had even realised
what had happened.
Once outside the door Leela shoved Ted’s body into the room and locked the
door from the outside.
They looked around the corridor that they had found themselves in. Neither
one of them recognised it as they had been unconscious when they were taken
their.
Leela took charge and started to march down the corridor, once they had
reached the end they went down some steps and had to duck into a nearby
linen closet so avoid being seen by some crewmembers.
Fry: “I think they must all be back on the ship now, we will have to be
really careful” he looked around him in the lien closet. “Hey look a
uniform!” he pulled it down from the shelf “I bet you would look great in
this Leela” he said seductively
Leela: “Fry we are trying to escape could you please keep your mind on..hey
wait a minute, Fry you’re a genius!”
Fry: “I am?”
Leela: “We can wear the uniforms and then we won’t stand out as much if
someone sees us, they will just think we are crew members”
They threw on the uniforms as fast as they could.
Leela: “Ok” she said pulling on the cap that went with the outfit “Lets go”
They sidled out of the closet and started walking as fast as they could to
the end of the corridor; they took a left, then a right.
As they were walking they came across some crewmembers hurriedly walking in
the other direction.
“And they have escaped” they heard one of the crew say in passing.
Once they were past the crew Fry and Leela looked at each other.
Leela: “I think we have been found out”
Fry: “Yea I just hope we find the exit soon”
They hurried on, so fast that as they walked around the next corner they
bumped into someone.
Fry: “Sorry Sir” he said ensuring the cap was covering his face
Washington: “Aren’t you supposed to be looking for those escaped
prisoners?” he said angrily “and look at me when you’re talking to your
captain” he pulled Fry’s cap off his head.
Fry: “Uh oh”
Washington: “What in the devils name?!”
Fry didn’t get a chance to answer as Leela pulled back her arm and smacked
Washington right in the face. Washington stumbled about for several
seconds before falling onto his stomach in the middle of the corridor.
Fry: “Come on Leela quickly!”
Leela: “We can’t leave him here alone what if he wakes up?”
Fry: “Uhhhh, I got it! We can tie him up!”
Leela: “I guess that would work”
Leela found some string and tied Washington’s hands and feet together.
Leela: “That should hold him”
Fry grabbed Leela’s arm, “Come on lets get out of here”
Fry led Leela back down the passageway.
Leela: “Are you sure you know where your going?”
Fry: “Yea, its this way, I recognise this part of the ship” Fry took a
right at the end of the passageway and brought Leela out into the
underground of the Spaceport. “The doors just over here”
They both made their way up the winding stairway and out into the open.
Leela: “Is there a Police Depo nearby?”
Fry: “I think there is one in that hospital street” he took Leela’s hand
and strode towards the Police Station.
Police Chief: “..and you say he is still there?”
Fry: “Yea we tied him up and left him on the ship”
Police Chief: “Ok I will get a couple of my officers down there straight
away, if you could just wait here until we have him on the premises?”
Leela: “Yes of course”
The Police Chief walked out of the room and left Leela and Fry alone.
Leela: “I think I would like to go home now”
Fry: “Me too, hopefully things will go back to normal once we get back
home”
Leela: “As normal as it gets with a senile old man, a smelly lobster, a
robot that doesn’t do what he was built for, an obsessed accountant and a
shallow Chinese girl” she laughed
Fry: “Hey remember that time the professor sent us to that planet of the
giant moths?”
Leela: “Yea and the time Bender pretended to be a cash machine outside the
Big Apple Bank but instead of putting money into him everyone took it out.
Fry: “He made it back though because he memorised all of their pin numbers
and then used them on actual cash machines”
Half an hour later Fry and Leela had just gotten to the end of another
mishap at Planet Express when the Police Chief walked back into the room.
Police Chief: “Hi, I am glad to inform you that we have Captain Washington
on our premises and we are in the middle of questioning him at this very
moment”
Leela: “So can we go now?”
Police Chief: “We have your statements but it looks like we will have to
take him to court, would you be ok with making a statement in a court of
law?”
Leela: “Yes I think so”
Police Chief: “Ok then we will contact you at your home address by mail
when we have a date for the hearing”
Fry: “Thank you” he said getting up from his seat and pulling Leela up
beside him.
The police chief held open the door for Fry and Leela and they walked back
out into the reception area of the station. Then they both made their way
out into the street and back towards their hotel.
Leela: “Fry are you sure its all going to fit in that suitcase?”
It was 9am the next morning and Fry and Leela were packing their things
ready to go home.
Fry: “Yea, if I sit on it can you lock it?” he said jumping onto the
suitcase
Leela locked the case with difficulty “Well I’m all packed so lets grab
some breakfast before we have to catch the flight home”
Leela once again picked up her suitcase with ease as Fry dragged his out of
the room and into the elevator. When they got down to the dining room Fry
and Leela had a quick breakfast before dropping their room keys off at the
front desk.
Receptionist: “Did you enjoy your stay?”
Fry and Leela looked at each other.
Fry: “Uhhhh it was interesting”
Laughing, Leela took Fry’s hand and they both walked out of the hotel and
over to the spaceport. The ship home was already waiting so they boarded
and took their seats ready for the trip home.
The ship flew steadily home and before they knew it they were landing in
New New York.
Fry hailed a cab, which speedily took them to their apartment.
Leela unlocked the door of the apartment.
Leela: “Its so great to be back home”
Fry: “Yea” he agreed dumping his suitcase on the floor and crashing down on
the couch.
Leela: “Fry don’t just leave your suitcase..” she began, then she looked at
Fry sprawled on the couch, it looked so damn comfortable. “Oh it can wait”
she said crashing down beside Fry.
The court case had rolled around and Leela had to make a statement and
appear in court. The judge found Washington guilty of all charges and he
was sentenced to several years in prison. After that life seemed to go
back to normal, Washington was finally out of their lives and Fry and Leela
couldn’t have been happier. The weeks flew by and before either Fry or
Leela realised it they had been back at work for three months.
It had been another lazy day at work; well for Fry anyway, he was watching
All My Circuits alone this evening as Leela was working on some paperwork
for the professor. After All My Circuits had finished Fry turned off the
TV, yawned, stretched and got up to find Leela.
He found her in the spare room sitting at the desk with a load of papers in
front of her.
Fry: “Hey Leela, its getting late are you coming to bed” he asked
Leela: “Sorry Fry, as Hermes is sick I promised the Professor that I would
finish this paperwork for him, I never realised there would be this much
though”
Fry: “Need any help?”
Leela: “Thanks but I don’t think you would be much help” she sighed getting
more frustrated at the mound of paperwork in front of her.
Fry: “Whaddya mean, I would get in your way? Or am I just not smart enough
to file papers?”
Leela: “Fry you know I didn’t mean it like that….”
Fry: “Goodnight Leela” he walked out of the door
Leela: “Fry.” she turned back to her paperwork and sighed again.
Later that evening Leela crept quietly into the bedroom and changed into
her nightgown in the ajoining bathroom. Turning off the bathroom light she
walked over to the bed and got in, a small amount of light shined through
the window lighting up Fry’s face revealing he was sleeping. As she sat
there she felt so guilty for saying what she did to him and he got so
easily offended. She leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.
Leela: “Goodnight Fry” she whispered
The next morning when Leela woke up she could hear Fry whistling in the
kitchen, she got out of bed and wrapping a dressing gown around herself she
walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen.
Fry was there cooking breakfast with his back to her.
Leela looked at Fry not sure whether he was still mad or not. She decided
whether he was mad or not this was her fault.
Leela: “Fry I’m really sorry about last night, I guess I was just stressed
or something but I really didn’t mean what I said the way you took it. I
wasn’t calling you dumb at all!”
Fry looked at Leela, he knew what he felt last night had completely
disappeared this morning, he didn’t want to make this go on longer than it
had to.
Fry: “Its ok”
Leela: “What?”
Fry put his arm around her “Its ok, it guess it was partly my fault too, I
know you weren’t calling me dumb, anyway I made pancakes you want some?”
Leela smiled “Sure!”
She sat down at the table and Fry brought over the plates and set them
down.
Leela: “Why do they look weird?”
Fry: “I cooked them myself!, Just like I used to do in the 20th century,
plus I haven’t quite got the hang of this 31st century technology”
Leela picked up her knife and fork and poked gingerly at the pancakes. She
glanced up at Fry who was busy stuffing his pile of pancakes into his mouth
at top speed. Looking back at her own pile of pancakes she decided that
what didn’t kill her could only make her stronger and started eating.
Fifteen minutes later they had both finished and Fry let out a contented
belch.
Leela: “Good call on the pancakes”
Fry: “Glad you liked them” he picked up the cutlery and inserted them into
the high tech dishwasher which made a whirring noise as the plates were
inserted and then spit them out clean on the side table.
Fry picked up the cutlery and put in back into the cupboard, and sat down

Fry: “Did you manage to finish that work for the Professor?”
Leela: “Just barely”
Fry: “Great then that means we got the whole day to ourselves!”
Leela: “I’m gonna go take a shower and get dressed, you can decided what
you want to do today”
Fry: “Ok, do you think the Professor would let us borrow the ship for the
day, you know, to tour the planets and junk”
Leela poked her head around the bedroom door “I doubt it, you know its
Saturday he doesn’t open Planet Express on a Saturday”
Fry: “Oh yea right”
Leela’s head disappeared again
Fry slouched down on the couch and turned on the TV.
TV: “50% off at Fred’s Discount Tyre’s!”
Fry: “Boring!”
TV: “Bachelor-Chow now in a can!”
Fry: “Oh there’s nothing on TV and nothing to do”
Leela walked out of the bathroom.
Leela: “So what do you have planned?”
Fry: “Uh well” he glanced out of the window “Hey it’s a nice day out, why
don’t we go for a walk and see where it takes us”
Leela: “Sure ok”
Fry held open the door for Leela
Leela turned to Fry “You know what Fry, I’m glad everything went back to
normal and we can finally get on with our lives” she walked out of the
door.
Fry looked at his newly pregnant wife as he backed out of the door.
Fry: “Me too Leela” he laughed “Me too”
