Futurama Porn Story: No more secrets part 2 – Chapter 1
Well, here it is. The conclusion to my No more secrets Futurama fanfic.
I hope itll live up to your expectations, though it probably wont since
its very hard to keep up with new ideas on one concept and at the same time
make it as good as before. Still, cant blame me for not trying, right?
I received feedback that I should not make so many references to previously
aired episodes. Unfortunately, this part contains a couple of these as well
but Ill try to keep that in mind if I ever make a sequel or the like.
No more Secrets, Part 2
By Lennie Asserholt
After Fry had revealed all the events that he had pent up inside him for
all this time, Leela didnt really know how she should feel. She cared
about Fry, A LOT, she just couldnt bring herself to admit it. She had
standards that a man who she went out with had to have, and Fry didnt even
fulfil a single one of them. Except for one single condition that she
hadnt taken into consideration before…
Leelas mind: …he has to love me…
Leela was sitting up in her bed, still visible shaken by Frys memory.
After she had heard Fry utter his final words in the dream she had pinched
herself in the arm to wake up, leaving him there. She needed to be alone,
she needed time to think. And because of the implants inside their heads,
times like this was the only ones where she could have some privacy with
herself even though she felt really bad about leaving him behind like that.
Leelas mind: Its incredible that he still hasnt gone insane. I know I
wouldve broken down completely if I had done so much and still to no
avail…..He…He must truly be in love with me…
She just kept sitting there for a long while. A minute? An hour? She did
not really know how much time had passed until she finally got up, dressed
and headed for the bridge.
CUT TO: PE ship bridge
Bender was sitting in the pilot seat, drinking as usual. Leela steps into
the room.
Bender: Hey meatbag! Youre up bright and early, craving some of ol
Benders breakfast cuisine eh?
Leela (she sits down at one of the passenger couches): Thanks Bender but
I’m really not hungry.
Bender: Hey? Are you alright? You havent even shown the smallest tendency
to yell at me for occupying your seat.
Leela (looks up): Huh? No, its nothing. I was just thinking about
something.
Bender: You and Fry have been acting really weird lately, is it something
you cant tell me? Cause in that case, I’ll just go pry it outta Fry. Hes
still asleep in his bunk so that wont pose too much of a challenge.
Leela: *sigh* Just let it pass Bender, I’m really not in the mood.
Bender just look quizzically at her, surprised she didnt even react to
that.
Bender: What…IS…with you? Ooooh, Now I get it! Youre in love with that
squishy skintube arent you?
Leela: What? Noooo…..
Bender (chuckling to himself): Hehe, its about frickin time! Frys been
after you ever since the day you thawed him out. Guess he finally got
though to ya huh? Though I personally cant see what he sees in you…
Leela: Bender, just be quiet. You have no idea what youre talking about.
Bender: Riiight. Just because I’m a robot doesnt mean I’m stupid like Fry.
All the strange looks you give each other, those times where you just sit
there and stare into each others eyes and… urgh… I think I’m getting
sick…
Leela: That wasnt love bender…
Bender: Oh yeah!? Then what?
Leela: It was….uh…
As on cue, Fry steps into the bridge just in time to interrupt the
conversation and save some embarrassment for Leela.
Fry: Hi Bender, What up? (He spots Leela sitting on the couch) Oh…hi
Leela….. (He sits himself down at the tactical station, never even
meeting Leelas gaze. They sit there in awkward silence for a while.
Finally Fry speaks.
Fry: So.. Any ideas on how to complete the delivery?
Bender: Nope! Me and Leela cant do it cause the radiation will screw up
our heads, and you cant do it cause the gases will screw up your body.
Lets just dump the crates and go home.
Leela (getting an idea): Ah… I think I know a way.
Bender: My suggestion to just throw Fry out the airlock and have the
mutation done with? Alright! Lets do it! (He gets up)
Leela (getting PO): *GROAN* No, you pitiful excuse for a tin can! That is
NOT what I meant!
Both Bender and Fry look at quizzically after her sudden outburst.
Leela: Uh… I mean… I wasnt thinking about that. There might be another
way, but Ill have to talk to Fry about it…. (gives Bender an irritated
look) alone!
Bender: Fine! If you guys want to consummate your so-called relationship
right now, then Ill just go get some well deserved down-time with my
liquor-still. Have fun, chumps! ( he leaves).
Fry: Uh, what was that all about?
Leela: Nothing, hes just jumping to his own conclusions again.
Fry: Oh. So, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?
Leela: Well, I have been thinking. When we flew through the asteroid field
I took control of your body temporarily, maybe you could do the same thing
to me if I were to go out there.
Fry: But Leela! If you go out there, you might never come back! Youll go
out of your mind as soon as you step out the airlock!
Leela: I know. But perhaps if you could take over at that point, we could
actually pull this through since your mind seems immune to the stuff.
Fry: Hmm. That could work I suppose, but…. are you sure you can trust
me with control over your body?
Leela: …..
Fry: I might lose it halfway through and then youll be gone forever!
Leela: …..
Fry: Please Leela! I dont think I could handle it if I lose not only my
chance for you to go out with me but you as my friend as well.
Leela: ….. You wont lose me Fry. Its me were talking about, remember?
I am the one who usually saves _your_ ass.
Fry: But…
Leela (puts her finger to his mouth): Shhhh. Lets just do it, ok?
Fry: ……..kay…
CUT TO: PE ship cargo bay.
Leela is standing next to the cargo lift with the 2 hover dollies. She
looks determined to go through this. She cannot help but contemplate the
fact that she actually proposed this idea herself. Why? Why did she even
think such a thing? Maybe she felt she had to restore some of Frys faith
by this act, or maybe she thought she had to prove herself to him one way
or another. Either way, there was no going back now. In but a few minutes,
her mind would be severely distorted and Fry would be left at the
controls…
She had given Fry a heavy tranquilizer from the medbay so he was already
sound asleep in his quarters. This was sort of a double edged sword. On the
one hand, being asleep was a requirement for this stunt to even work, but
on the other hand it also dampened the effect of the implant which causes
conversation between the two more difficult. Right now however, she was
rather thankful for that as she could think all of this over without his
interference. It wouldnt take long however before Fry figured out how to
control her after the extensive lecture she had him go through.
As she thought these last thoughts a familiar voice began to sound in her
head.
Frys mind: Leela?
Leelas mind: Yes, I can hear you Fry.
Frys mind: Good, I was almost beginning to give up before I heard some
mumbling. What were you thinking about?
Leelas mind: Oh, nothing. Nothing special.
Frys mind: …. Are you SURE you want to go through with this Leela?
Leelas mind: *sigh* lets just do it already!
Frys mind: ….youre the captain…
Fry begins to concentrate, as much as he is capable of anyways. Leela
struggles with her own self-preservation reflexes for a while but finally
gives way to the probing thoughts of her friend.
One of her hands twitches a little, the flies up and hits Leela squarely in
the face!
Leelas mind: Hey! Watch it!
Frys mind: Oops! Sorry about that. Man this feels weird…
Leelas mind: Try to use a little less force… gently now…
Leelas left arm begins to move, it begins to wave around in the air.
Frys mind: Wooowooo!
Leelas mind: Good! Try walking now…
Leelas legs begins to move slightly… her left leg takes a step….
then…she falls down with a sounding *thud*!
Leela: Ow! That hurt.
Frys mind: Ahh, sorry! Um… Do you want to quit?
Leelas mind: Just dont that that again ok?
Frys mind: Ill try.
Leela after much effort gets up, and takes a step forward.
Leelas mind: Good. You got that right, now lets go for a walk.
Leela walks around the cargo bay for a minute or two, it seems as if Fry
has gotten the hang of this after all.
Leelas mind: Great! Now lets get this over with.
Leela takes back control for a moment and begins to operate the cargo life
via her WristThingy . The lift carries both her and the hover dollies out
of the ship and onto the planets surface. Gas begins to seep into the ship
through the open cargo bay but it is soon cleared by the already active
ventilation system. A few moments after Leela steps off the lift, it
returns to close the opening. Leela, now standing outside, can feel her
consciousness slip into stupor. Her last thought was Here goes nothing….
I’m counting on you Fry…
Frys mind: Leela? Leela, can you hear me?
Leela: Duuuh.
Frys mind: Oh man, shes whacked out. I sure hope this works (he
concentrates on his love).
Leela (noticing her body begins to move by itself): Oooh. Leela moving.
Leela go for ride!
She walks over to the hover dollies and loads them with the 3 crates.
Leela: Weeeee!
Frys mind: Oh boy, shes really out of it. It reminds me so much of that
time… (he begins to think about the events in The day the earth stood
stupid)
Leela suddenly drops to the ground, Frys attention apparently distracted.
Leela: Aww, no more ride for Leela? Leela go make own ride!
Leela begins to run around wailing like a fire truck. Fry snaps out of his
flashback, cursing his short attention span.
Frys mind: Dammit! I spaced out. Leela? Leela!?
Leela: Oooo, no fire to put out! Maybe Leela MAKE fire!? (She pulls out her
laser gun she forgot to put away before going out)
Frys mind: Oh my GOD! Shes found her gun! Concentrate fry, CONCENTRATE
DAMMIT!
Frys face is becoming red and his body is sweat profusely from the extreme
effort.
Leela (noticing her hand about to drop the gun): What? No fire? NO FAIR!
(She begins to counter Frys remote mind control)
Frys mind: Unnngghhh… No… Dont do this
Leela…..please………..plea..se…
CUT TO: Inside the PE ship, Fry and Benders quarters.
Benders suddenly awakens by the sound of Fry talking in his sleep.
Bender: Huh? (he looks down at him)Hey, Fry! Quit mumbling about Leela all
the time! A robot is trying to get some sleep here.
Fry (in his sleep): …No…Leela….No….
Bender: Hey! HEY! (Fry doesnt wake up) *mumble*. (He gets up)
Bender (looking at Fry with curiosity): Hmm, the meatbag seems to be
dreaming about Leela again huh? Man, he is even more hopeless than
Zoidberg. I wonder what Leela is up to (he walks out).
Entering Leelas quarters, he finds it to be as empty as last weeks beer
bottle collection. Bender then tries the bridge, but again to no avail.
Bender: Where _is_ she? Hey, I wonder if….
He walks over to the surveillance monitor and presses a button, the image
flicker once and then shows the outside of the ship. Leela is standing next
to the two hover dollies, wielding a gun and seems to just be able to hold
it in her hand.
Bender: So, she decided to try the delivery anyway and now shes gonna kill
herself. Oh well, I guess this show is as good as anything (he sits down
and opens a new beer).
CUT TO: Outside the PE ship
Leela is still struggling with Frys control attempt over the gun.
Leela: Leela…. want…. FIRE! (She manages to get off a shot, it hits a
dead tree nearby which immediately burst into flames)
Leela (happy like a child): Weee! Fire!
Her attention is diverted from the gun and Fry seizes the opportunity to
have her throw it away.
Leela (watching the gun fly into some bushes): Aw, no more fire…
She sighs a bit and lets Fry control her again. She walks up to the hover
dollies again and pushes them in front of her as she heads towards the
caves.
CUT TO: PE ship bridge.
Bender: Aw, crap… goodbye sweet promotion…*sigh* Oh well.. (he chugs
down some more beer and continues to watch Leelas little quest)
CUT BACK TO: Outside the PE ship, Volcano cave.
As Leela approaches the caves, she becomes a bit uneasy but Fry is
determined to not lose control over her again and so she enters without
hesitation.
Leela: Ohh.. spooky…
She moves down the many corridors pushing the two hover dollies in front of
her, they limit her sightline a bit but other then that everything seems to
be working fine for once.
She comes across a large steel door shaped like a giant cogwheel.
Leela: Oooh, big door. Leela knock?
Frys mind: Personally I dont think that would help much, lets just use
the panel thingy next to it.
Leela: Caaaaaaaan dooooo!
Leela walks over to the console and looks down on it. It has several
buttons but Fry (in a sudden streak of intelligence) decides to go with the
button labelled push me. Leela pushes it and a faint doorbell sound can
be heard from the other side.
A few moments later the giant cogwheel begins to move to one side,
revealing a round entrance. The outline of several humanoid figures can be
seen through the blinding light coming from the other side.
Leela: Leela come in peace?
A hooded man approaches Leela
Leader: Are you the Planet Express delivery crew?
Leela: Duuuuh?
The leader scratches his head, but notices the crates are marked with the
Planet Express logo.
Leader: I see, well, you are LATE! These supplies shouldve been here
yesterday!
Leela: Leela bring boxes. Fun stuff?
Leader: Eh? Are you alright?
Leela: Leela feel splinter in hand. Leela think fine otherwise.
Leader: Uh Riiiiight. Anyway, you have the paperwork I have to sign for
these things?
Leela: Leela bring blocky paper thingy, You want?
Leader: Uh, yeah… give it here…
Leela just stands there looking at some stalactites in the cave. Fry
notices and have her take out the clipboard and give it to the man. He
takes it and signs it with some strange symbols.
Leader (hands her the clipboard back): There you go. Now get outta here
before I decide to steal the crates and put you in the broom closet.
Leela: Leela want play with brooms! Leela make good witch!
The leader doesnt play her any attention, he instead has two guards unload
the crates inside the door and leave the dollies by Leelas side. He walks
back into the complex.
Leader (as the door closes behind him): Urgh, if it wasnt for the fact
that were stuck here with the rest of our race wiped out by chemical bombs
I would never put up with this shit…
Leela: Bye! Come visit again sometime!? (The door closes with a *Clang*)
Frys mind: Phew, that went reasonably well. Now lets get you back in here
Leela.
Leela: Awww, Leela want to stay to look at nice cave…
Frys mind: NO! You dont! Come back here now!
Leela (crossing her arms): NO! I wont follow you anymore! You no fun!
Frys mind: I got a candy bar.
Leela: OH! Yummy! (She darts away)
Frys mind: Uh, you gotta bring the dollies or Lee–… uh… the door wont
open…
Leela: Ow phooey. (she mutters something about backseat driving as she gets
back and grabs the dollies)
CUT TO: Inside the PE ship, main hall.
Fry, having successfully guided Leela back to the cargo bay with both
dollies, is still sound asleep. Bender, having watched most of the
spectacle via the ships monitors, greets her in the cargo bay.
Bender: Hey skintube! I must admit Im mighty impressed by your giant
stupidity! Yessir, I thought only Fry was capable of throwing himself into
certain death but this, oooh, this was really something. Hey, are you even
listening to me?
Leela: Duuuuh?
Frys mind: Come on Leela! Snap out of it! Theres no gas in here, you
should be fine.
Leela (looks as shes getting a headache): Fry?…uuhhh…
Bender (grabbing Leelas wallet): Whats the matter? You snapping out of
it?
Leela: Uhh. Oh my head… Remind me to never do that again…
Frys mind: YES! Leela, we did it!
Leelas mind: We did? I cant remember a thing…
Frys mind: Aw, crap. This is just like last time. Im once again the
unknown hero of the universe… ok, maybe not the universe but still this
planet… ah, maybe not that either but instead….
Leelas mind: Fry, just be quiet.
Frys mind: Oh… ok.
Leela: I’m gonna go get some rest, and then well get the hell outta this
dump.
Leela walks out of the cargo bay.
Bender (counting Leelas money): Youre the boss. Hehe…
CUT TO: Space, near Catastrophicon 5. A few hours later.
The PE ship is blasting off from the planets surface and is heading for
home.
CUT TO: Inside the PE ship, bridge
Leela is at the helm, piloting the ship like she always does, Fry is
sitting on the passenger couch and Bender is pretending to read a book
called understanding human emotion but the book is turned upside down and
he has in fact a robot pornomag inside it.
Leela: *sigh* With the engines damaged itll take almost a full day to get
back to earth.
Fry: Ugh. Bo-o-ring. What are we gonna do for a whole day?
Bender (looking up from behind his literature): We can have a laser-gun
duel and Ill bet on Leela.
Fry: Hey? Why Leela? I beat her fair and square in that internet video
game.
Leela: The only reason you beat me is because I was upset at the fact that
you wrecked my one chance to find my true home.
Fry: Good thing we found out you were from earth then.
Leela: It wasnt quite what I expected I can tell you that…
Their small talk is interrupted by a loud *thud*!
Leela: *groan* What is it THIS time!?
A vidphone comes down from the ceiling and Zapps face flickers into
existence.
Zapp: You are hereby under arrest for violation of established territorial
borders, consorting with the enemy and… uh…
Leela (annoyed): Lets just skip the details and get right to the point.
What do you want Zapp?
Zapp (seductively): Oh my. The craving for the Zapper has returned, yes?
Leela (disgusted): Would you cut that OUT!? I’m _not_ interested in
sleeping with you _ever_ again! Cant you just accept that?
Zapp (disappointed): No. You know you want me, you just dont know it yet.
But I still will have to detain you and your ship for consorting with the
enemy, (seductively) we can talk about _us_ later (makes a kissing motion
before the vidphone returns to the ceiling)
Leela: Ugh!
CUT TO: Space.
The Nimbus launched fighters that escort the PE ship into one of its many
docking bays. There appears to be no escape this time.
CUT TO: Inside the Nimbus, Docking bay 12.
The PE ship sets down and is immediately sealed inside by two large steel
doors. As the bay is pressurized, the PE ship is surrounded by a platoon of
Zapps loyal men as well has Zapp himself.
CUT TO: Inside the PE ship, bridge.
Leela gets up from the pilot seat.
Leela: *sigh* Well guys, it looks like we will have to deal with Zapp
again. I was hoping Id never have to see him again since the time he court-
martialled you Fry, but I guess that was just too much to hope for.
Fry: Aw, dont worry Leela. Youll get us out of this, you always do.
Bender: Yeah and if that doesnt work, you can always sleep with him aga-
(*CRASH*)
Leela (making a face and rubbing her hand): Well then, shall we go?
CUT TO: Previous shot
Zapp (and Kif) is standing by the ship stairs, a group of the Nimbus crew
are standing around him with laser rifles in hand as Leela, Fry and Bender
walk down.
Zapp: Well, well. We meet in person once more my lovely. Too bad its under
such unfortunate circumstances.
Leela (still annoyed): Look, just throw us in the brig already. Im tired
of your constant babble.
Zapp: As the lady commands. Kif! Escort these war criminals to the
detention block, I shall personally interrogate the leader of these
outlaws.
Kif: *sigh* As you say, captain… (Kif and some of the men take Bender and
Fry away)
Zapp: Now then my pretty, lets find out who youre working for… (he
begins walking towards the detention block with a laser gun pointed towards
Leela)
Leela: Just give it up Zapp. Im working for Planet Express and have been
doing so for more than two years now and you know it!
Zapp: Aha! But how do I know youre not involved in some neutral plot to
turn the tide of the pacifists war machine!?
Leela: The pacifists dont even HAVE a war machine. Theyve been at peace
for over 200 years!
Zapp: Ah yes, that is what they want you to believe isnt it?
Leela: Of course. Because its the truth!
Zapp: Really? Then how do you explain the vast quantinity of ships that
gathered around their capital mmm?
Leela: They were celebrating their annual crystal flower festival! Species
from around the galaxy came to partake in that and you know it!
Zapp: No.
Leela: *groan*
They finally arrive at Leelas cell and she is tossed in there as Zapp
activates its force field.
Zapp: Its a shame it has to end this way beautiful, had our paths turned
out differently I wouldve had you as my….assistant long ago.
Zapp: Until we meet again (Zapp blows her a small kiss)
Leela: Ugh!
CUT TO: Inside the Nimbus, Frys cell.
Fry is walking back and forth inside his cell. He hadnt seen Bender since
they were taken away. He assumed that they wouldve put him in his own
cell, or deactivated him or something…
Fry: Crud… This was definitely _not_ the way I hoped to get back home.
*sigh* I wonder if Leelas alright… (he sits down on the cot and closes
his eyes)
Frys mind: Leela? Are you there?
Leelas mind (annoyed): Yeah, I’m here. Where else would I be?
Frys mind: They didnt hurt you or anything?
Leelas mind: No, not really. Although Zapp seemed to insinuate that
someone might later.
Frys mind: Insi-wha?
Leelas mind: Uh, nothing…
Some time passes without any of them say anything…
Leelas mind: Soooo. What happened with you then, where are you staying?
Frys mind (sarcastic): A lovely little hotel called 67B I think….thats
what the neon sign says outside the cell anyways.
Leelas mind: Mmm? Not too far from mine then, 45A.
Frys mind: Really?
Leelas mind (also sarcastic): Yeah. Only 3 floors and 250 meters.
Frys mind (disappointed): Oh…
Leelas mind: Mmmm…
Frys mind: You wouldnt know where they mightve taken Bender wouldya?
Leelas mind: Hes a robot, they probably shut him down and stashed him in
the storage room… or somewhere where they can always keep an eye on him.
CUT TO: Inside one of the Nimbus corridors
We can see a barely closed door with a robot arm hanging out, and two guys
are walking past.
Guard 1: But, wont he find out about it?
Guard 2: Hey, do _you_ wanna drag that stinking piece of machinery all the
way down to storage?
Guard 1: Well, no. But I still think the broom closet was a bad idea…
CUT TO: Previous shot
Frys mind: Yeah youre right, hell be fine.
A pause again (man we get a lot of these nowadays).
Frys mind: Leela?
Leelas mind: Yes?
Frys mind: Can I ax you a question?
Leelas mind: Go right ahead. I’m not going anywhere.
Frys mind: Why did you offer yourself to do the delivery on that planet? I
mean, not only were there gases and stupid radiation stuff, you even let me
control your body. Why? We couldve just gone home and forgot about the
whole thing. Hermes and the professor wouldve been angry at us for sure
but it was such a huge risk you took.
Leelas mind: I… Im not sure Fry.
Frys mind: Surely there must be a reason?
Leelas mind: I… just felt I could trust you on that one.
Frys mind: How comes that?
Leelas mind: Uhh. Well, I did feel kinda guilty that you had to go through
all those things you showed me in the dream… I wanted to make it up to
you…
Frys mind: Guilt? That is what you felt?
Leelas mind: Well… yeah…
Frys mind: Nothing more?
Leelas mind: Umm… Ah… no…
Frys mind (sad): *sigh* I see…
A moment passes without any of them saying another word, mentally or
verbally. The moment turns into minutes and the minutes into hours.
Almost 3 hours has passed until Leela finally tries to speak again.
Leelas mind: Fry?
Unfortunately she feels that Fry has once again fallen asleep and
apparently does not want to talk to her anymore. She sighs and resigns her
attempt, although it still leaves her somewhat uneasy and with a sense of
sadness that wont go away…
A few hours later Leela has fallen asleep as well. She entered the darkness
in her dream again but the only thing she found was a sleeping Fry, he
didnt want to dream this night obviously and Leela could hardly blame him.
After all, he had received yet another confirmation of his suspicions that
she wasnt interested in him any further than basic friendship. Leela let
out a heavy sigh, still not sure why she couldnt just tell him how she
really felt. Eventually, she lay herself down beside him and fell asleep in
her sleep as well (not too confusing I hope ;)).
CUT TO: Frys cell, later that night. (Right… like there is a day and
night in outer space…)
Fry is sleeping peacefully for once when an object falls from the
ventilation system and hits him in the head, making a hollow *bonk* sound.
He immediately wakes up.
Fry: Hey!? Whos dropping stuff on me?
Voice from the ceiling: Im a friend. I’m here to help you escape!
Fry: Bender! Oh, I was so worried about you. What happened to you?
Voice from the ceiling: Uh… I’m not Bender…
Fry: Youre not? But you said you were my friend.
Voice from the ceiling: Im another of your friends.
Fry: Amy!? What are you doing here?
Voice from the ceiling: *groan* Ok, I give up. I’m not your friend.
Fry: Oh. Then why are you helping me escape?
Voice from the ceiling (mumbling incoherently): Does it really matter!?
Fry: Well, yeah. You could be an accomplice of Zapp or Kif or Nixon or…
Voice from the ceiling: Look, I’m just sent here to help you…
Fry: Aha! So someone DID send you here! Who is it? Is it Hermes?
Voice from the ceiling (getting really annoyed): NO! I’m NOT sent by
Hermes, I’m NOT your friend and I’m NOT an accomplice! Now do you want to
escape or not!?!?
Fry: Gee, you dont have to get so upset.
Voice from the ceiling: I axed you a question!
Fry: Wha-?
Voice from the ceiling (furious): IM A GODAMN AGENT ALRIGHT!? IVE BEEN
SENT HERE TO FREE YOUR SORRY ASS!! CANT YOU JUST ACCEPT THAT!?!?
Fry: Alright, alright. Ill listen already…
Voice from the ceiling (somewhat relieved): Finally… Now look, that thing
I just dropped on you will deactivate the force field to the cells on this
ship. Use it to free yourself and your captain.
Voice from the ceiling: Ive also located your robot. Hes been stashed in
a broom closet just down this hallway. You can use that device to
reactivate him. Now go.
Fry: Thanks man! Oh, by the way?
Voice from the ceiling: What?
Fry: You sure youre not Hermes?
Voice from the ceiling (going insane): GAAAH!!!
CUT TO: Inside the Nimbus, the corridor outside Frys cell.
A crackling sound can be heard as the force field dies down. Fry looks out
carefully.
Fry: Hmm, except for these two (he looks at two guards sleeping on the
floor), this floor looks empty. I better find Bender.
Fry moves silently through the dimly lit corridors. He spots a door left
partially open at one side.
Fry (peeking inside): Bender? Whew, thank god I found you!
Fry drags Benders limp body out of the broom closet and uses the spy
thingy. Benders body begins to twitch a little but other than that, Fry
gets no response.
Fry: Come on Bender! Snap out of it!
Fry gives Bender a good kick *clang*. Bender opens his eyeshield.
Bender: *Yawn*. Hey!? What am I doing here?
Fry: Bender! Are you ok?
Bender: Oh Fry… Yeah I’m alright. That no-good excuse for a sleazebag
guard mustve shut me down. How long was I out?
Fry: I dunno. Ive been sitting in my cell for almost (he looks at his
broken watch)… nine hours.
Bender: Nine hours!? OH CRUD!
Fry: What?
Bender: My beautiful booze… *sob* that still must be refuelled every 12
hours… And it was 5 hours into its next period when we landed!
Fry: I’m sorry Bender, is there any way I can make it up to you?
Bender: 50 $
Fry: I dont have that on me but youll get it later, Ok? … Feeling
better now?
Bender: Hmm. A little. Maybe at least until we get off this heap.
CUT TO: Inside the Nimbus, various locations
To the theme music from mission impossible we see Fry and Bender sneak
through the dimly lit corridors, hiding in the strangest of places when
guard patrols cross their path. We see Fry and Bender hanging from the
ceiling… Bender acting as a floor lamp, complete with screen and Fry
inside his compartment… Fry and Bender hiding inside another cell, which
turns out to contain a lion… Fry and Bender holding a frame from a
painting in front of themselves…
Eventually they reach the vicinity of Leelas cell.
Fry: Ok Bender. You keep watch while I unlock Leelas cell.
Bender takes out his one eye and sticks it to the back of his head.
Bender (wobbling slightly): WoOoOo…
Fry takes out the spy thingamajig and deactivates the force field.
Fry (poking his head inside): Leela?
*WHAM* Fry falls flat to the ground.
Leela (realizing her mistake): Oops. Sorry Fry…
Fry (seeing little birdies): OoOoOh… And round and round and round we
go…
Bender: Are you ready to go Leela? I think I see another patrol approaching
from the western corridor.
Leela (helping the dizzy Fry to his feet): Yeah. I’m ready, lets get outta
here!
Fry (still very dizzy): Wha-? Where to cap?
Leela: Snap out of it Fry! Were escaping.
Fry: Oooooh, so thats where my ducky went…
Leela: *Sigh* I guess Ill just have to carry you. (She picks him up and
hangs him over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes)
Bender (Picks up the spythingy): Here Leela, take this. Fry used it to open
the doors and stuff.
Leela (takes the item): What the? This is an E.M.C.A.D (ElectroMagnetic
Current Alternator for Dummies)! Only the government have access to these
things, how did Fry—
She is interrupted by a laser shot suddenly hitting the wall next to her!
Guard (OS): Call for security! The prisoners have escaped!
Bender: Ok. Were boned.
Leela: Not yet were not! Lets make a break for the ship!
Leela (carrying Fry) and Bender rush down the hallway towards the docking
bay where the PE ship is sealed in. Bender is about to take a quick zip of
whiskey on the way but Leela grabs the bottle and smashes it against the
floor.
Bender: Hey! What was that for!?
Leela (ignoring him): Ok. Lets see what this thing can do!
She presses the button marked overload on the spythingy and points it
towards the access panel next to the puddle of liquor on the floor. The
panel begins to spark violently, igniting the booze and creating a firewall
to block their persuers which immediately breaks off in fear of their
velour uniforms catching fire.
Guard leader: Come on! Lets go after them!
Guard: No way I’m going through that dressed in _this_. If Zapp wants these
guys so bad, then he can go after them himself. I’m gonna go grab a
drink…
Guard leader: But..? But…?
Meanwhile Leela and Bender have finally made their way to the docking bay.
The PE ship seems to be untouched and there are only two guards which Leela
clobber up easily.
Leela: Whew Fry, youre heavy. Maybe I should put you down for a minute
while I see if I can access the codes for these bay doors.
She puts the still woozy Fry down on the floor next to an access console
and begins fiddling with the controls…
Bender: Yeah Fry, you really need to lose some weight.
Bender proceeds to loot the two guards and grab Frys wallet while hes at
it.
Leela (cursing): Dammit! The security is too tight! I cant get to the
codes!
Bender: Over theres something else that got here though (He points to a
door at the other side of the hangar which is pouring in armed crewmen)
Leela: Keep them busy while I try this some more Bender!
Bender: Hey! I’m not putting my life on the life for you two! What do I
look like, a kamikazebot? (He grabs a beer from his compartment).
A laser shot streaks through the air and shatters the bottle in his hand.
Bender: WHAT THE!? Thats it…
Bender grabs the two rifles from the knocked out guards and holds them in
both hands, Rambo style.
Bender: Eat this you beer hating scum!!!
Bender unleashes a flurry of laser beams from the two rifles, causing the
Nimbus crewmen to duck behind the various consoles in the docking bay.
Bender: Take this! And this! And that! And some of this!
Leela is still busy tampering with the console when suddenly a shock
grenade lands on the floor beside her. Her reflexes instantly causes her to
roll away to cover behind some crates, then she notices that Fry is still
laying next the console!
Leela (panicking): FRY!
A blinding light engulfs the immediate area as the grenade explodes! The
shockwave sends Bender to the floor and Fry flying. Leela catches him as he
is hurtled towards her, he is not moving.
Leela: Fry. FRY!? Wake up! Please!!
Bender (gets up): What the hell was that… Fry? Is he alive?
Leela (barely suppressing her sobbing): I… I… think so… Hes still
breathing.. but barely…
Bender: Lets get him into the medbay, Leela. He cant die on me now, he
still owes me 50$.
Leela and Bender make a break for the PE ship while the crewmen continue to
fire beams at them. Bender takes a hit but being a robot allows him to keep
going long enough to get into the ship. With them all inside, Bender seals
the door with a chair under the doorknob and Leela drops off Fry in the
medbay then bolts towards the bridge.
Leela (entering the bridge with Bender right behind her): We gotta get out
of here! Bender, take the weapon controls!
Bender: Aye aye captain.
Leela (sits down in the pilot seat): Ok, if the doors wont listen to
guile, lets see what they say about force. Fire all torpedoes!
Bender (making a salute): Firing all torpedoes! (He presses four buttons,
turns the crank under the console around for four times then dials the
number 4 on the phone.
CUT TO: Inside the Nimbus, docking bay 12
The PE ship lifts off the floot, retracting the stairs and landing gear and
then turns to face the double steel gates. The crewmen of the Nimbus
understand what is about to happen and rushes out of the bay in fear of the
decompression.
Four torpedoes are fired from the forward hatches and with a huge
explosion, blasting a hole through the double steel gates. The bay quickly
decompresses and the PE ship is shot out of the bay like a watermelon seed.
CUT TO: Outside the Nimbus.
The PE ship blasts off away from the Nimbus with several fighters right on
its tail. Leelas skilful piloting allows the PE ship to avoid them for a
while but soon the number of fighters becomes too many and they are
surrounded.
CUT TO: Inside the PE ship, bridge.
Leela: *sigh* Theres just too many of them. I cannot outmanoeuvre them
all… Bender? Are you even listening to me?
Bender: Wha-? I was just going though some stuff…
Leela: Yeah, I bet you are. Let me see that! (she gets up)
Leela looks over the stuff that Bender had looted off the two guards and
spots something interesting. A folder entitled emergency evidence. She
opens and looks through it.
Leela (getting a surprised look): What the? Ewwww… (she drops the folder,
looking ready to puke)
Bender (getting curious): What? What is it? (he picks up the folder and
looks through it himself)
Bender: Ooh… Your… God! Thats the most disgusting this Ive ever seen!
Leela regains her composure and grabs the folder from Bender
Leela (decisively): I know exactly how to use this. (She walks over the the
comms station and Zapps face comes into view as she presses a button)
Zapp (through the comm.): Well ,well. It seems you have gotten yourself
into not just a little bit of trouble. I’m afraid that this time there will
be no room for pitiful ideas of mercy.
Leela: Let us go Zapp. Right now.
Zapp: Really? And why should I do that?
Leela: Or I broadcast _this_ right now on every channel known to man (she
holds up a picture of Zapp dressed only in panties, making a pose).
Zapp (horrified): How did you……? I _demand_ to know how you got that!
Leela (losing patience): Let us go…. _now_.
Zapp: …….. ……. …….
Leela: My button finger is getting itchy….
Zapp (to someone off the screen): …..call back the fighters…
Voice (OS in the monitor): Sir?…
Zapp: (to the same someone as before): …you heard me….
Voice (still OS in the monitor): Yes sir.
A brief external shot shows that all the fighters are breaking off and
heading back towards the Nimbus.
Zapp (slowly): So… what are you going to do with those….?
Leela (evil smile): Ill think of something (She closes the channel)
Bender (putting up his feet on a console): Hehe. Yep! Everything worked out
fine, thanks to ol Bender. Even Fry wouldnt be here if it hadnt….
Leela (reality strikes): Oh no! I forgot all about Fry! (She bolts out of
the bridge)
Bender: Hey! I was talking in here!…*sigh* I get no appreciation
anymore… (he chugs down another beer before going after Leela to the
medbay)
CUT TO: Inside the PE ship, medbay.
Leela rushes in through the door to the awaiting Fry on the operation
table.
Leela: Fry!? Are you still alive?
She gets no response and takes Frys pulse. It is slowing down at an
alarming rate and Leela almost panic.
Leela (a tear is forming in her eye): Fry! You cant die one me! Not now!
Bender (walking in): Hey. How is he holding up?
Leela (sobbing silently): Hes slipping away from us…. and I dont have a
clue how to save him…
Bender (shrugging his shoulders): Maybe if you asked him nicely he would
come back?
Leela (getting an idea): …. that just might work!
Bender: Say what?
Leela (turning towards Bender): Were out of tranquilizers so I guess that
only leaves one way…
Bender (puzzled): What ARE you talking about!?
Leela: …hit me hard in the head Bender.
Bender (even more puzzled): Come again!?!?
Leela: I know its a long shot but still…
Bender: _What_ is a long shot? What is going on with you two!?
Leela (trying to contain her tears): Bender… just do it, ok?
Bender (shrugs his shoulders): Youre the captain…
He grabs a sack of swag from his compartment and whangs it hard on Leelas
head. She goes out like a light.
Bender (looking down on Leela): There! Happy?
CUT TO: Dream sequence, darkness
Leela awakens to the familiar dark abyss she had visited so many times by
now. This time however, _she_ would have to be the one to lead the other
through memory lane. She hadnt thought it though much, probably because
she wanted to save Fry before it was too late and so she acted on instinct
more than reason for once.
The darkness was empty. Was she too late? Had Fry already….passed away?
As these thoughts rushed through her head, sorrow was beginning to take
over.
Leela (tears running down her face): Fry? Fry!? Can you hear me? Please
answer me Fry!!
As she spoke the words, the image of Fry appeared. He seemed to hover in
mid-air (or something since there was no floor but you get the picture)
and his image flickered constantly.
Leela (relieved): Fry… I’m here….
Fry (weakly): Uh… Leela?
Leela: Yes I’m here Fry…
Fry (looks at her face): You… have been crying…. why?
Leela: An explosion hit you while we were fleeing Zapps ship. We are safe
now but You are lying unconscious in the ship.
Fry (pausing): Am I…. dying….?
Leela: I… I dont know….
Fry (lets out a heavy sigh): I guess it was only a matter of…. time…
Leela: But its not your time yet Fry! You have to fight to return to us!
Fry (his voice becoming distant): Fight…. fight why…? Why would I want
to….live…?
Leela (cannot contain her tears): Because we need you…. I need you…
Fry (His voice is becoming even weaker and his image flickers heavily):
You… need… me…? Why?… I’m just… a… friend….
Leela: But friends dont abandon each other like this…. and…. and….
Fry (his voice barely audible now and his image almost gone):
…..and…..?
CUT TO: Medbay
Bender watches his two friends and notices on the monitor that Fry has
almost flatlined
CUT TO: Previous shot
Leela: …I… love you.
As she pronounces the magic words Fry had been waiting to hear her say ever
since the day they first met, his image seemed to regain some form and his
voice becomes clearer.
Fry: You… do??
Leela (quietly): Yes Fry… I do love you, and I guess in a way I always
have…
Fry (his image becomes almost solid and his voice is back to normal): But
why did you..? How come you never…?
Leela: …. I… I guess I thought I could always tell you later… And I
was about to several times but…. (she looks away)
Fry drops out of him floating position and falls to the ground, regaining
his footing. He walks up to Leela who is just standing there with her head
down.
Fry (tears forming in his eyes): Leela… Do you have any idea how happy I
am to just hear you say that!?
Leela (looks up at him, her eye is tearshot as well): So… youre gonna
try to come back to us..?
Fry (crying from happiness): Oh Leela (he holds her tight) … How could I
not want to live after the wonderful news you have just given me!?
CUT TO: Medbay
Bender sighs and shakes his head a little. He is about to leave when the
monitor begins beeping again. Turning towards it he notices that Frys
pulse is regaining momentum. He looks quizzically at Leela who is still
knocked out on the floor.
Bender (watching the monitor): How….? (turns to Leela) Did you do
that…?
CUT TO: Previous shot
Leela: Oh Fry! (She just holds him close to her, tears of happiness are
running through her face)
Fry: Oh Leela…. (oh mushy mushy :) )
CUT TO: Inside the PE ship, medbay. 10 minutes later.
Fry wakes up from his near death experience to a truly puzzled looking
Bender. Leela is lying on the floor beside him.
Fry (still a bit woozy): Bender..? Uh… Are we on the ship now?
Bender (still puzzled): Fry… Youre alive… how come…? We thought you
were a goner for sure!
Fry (rubs his head): I guess I wouldve been if it hadnt been for the fact
that something wonderful happened. (he looks dreamy)
Bender: Oh Fry! (He hugs him, and grabs some loose change in his back
pocket)
Leela begins to twitch on the floor to begin with and then she too wakes
up.
Leela: Uuuuhhh. Remind me to never do that again…
Fry: Leela! (He notices a large bump on her head) What happened you your
head?
Leelas mind: We didnt have any tranquilizers left.
Frys mind: Huh……? Oh…! I see.
CUT TO: Space
The PE ship blasts off through the vacuum of space, heading back towards
earth.
CUT TO: PE ship bridge
Leela gets up from the pilot seat.
Leela: Well, Ive ordered the autopilot to take us straight back to earth.
Its gonna take some time though, eight more hours at least.
Fry: Mmmm…
Leela: What is it Fry?
Fry: I was just thinking about something.
Leela: No you werent.
Fry: …. right….
Leela: …. I’m going to get some sleep. See you later.
Fry: See ya…
Bender: And I’m gonna get some serious reading done… not to mention
preparing a new batch of hootch… (he walks out leaving Fry alone.
Fry (sighs): Ah, I guess it was too good to be true. Leela loving a bum
like me… But still…. Oh well… (he gets up and leaves the bridge too)
As he walks through the main hallway he spots Leela leaning towards on of
the walls.
Fry: Hey Leela. Werent you going to go to bed?
Leela: Yes but I wanted to talk to you first.
Fry: We can talk all the time Leela, remember the mind thingy?
Leela: Yes I know, but its not quite the same.
Fry (after a short pause): Look Leela. I understand that you only said
those things in the dream just to convince me to come back and all but—
(Leela just bolts up from her position and locks him in a deep kiss before
he can finish).
Fry (startled): Hm!!!? (he closes his eyes and relax) Mmmmmmm…
After a long moment, they silently break the kiss.
Fry (smiles childishly): Sooo… It was for real then…?
Leela smiles back and nods. They lock themselves in another deep kiss and
stumble into Leelas quarters with their arms wrapped around each other…
Leelas mind: I really DO love you Fry.
Frys mind: I know. I love you too, and I always have.
CUT TO: Inside the Black ship
Several shadowy men are crammed in a small room with several view screens
mounted into one of the walls.
Shady man 1: O yeah! Work that Lady! Woooo
Shady man 2: Lesse some of that…. OOOOhhh! Oh man!
Shady man 3: This is better than cable!
Shady man 4: I wonder what the robot is doing?
All the others turn and give him a strange look.
Shady man 4: Uh… I mean… Look at THOSE!
Shady man 1, 2 and 3 (looking at the screens again): OOOOOH!
CUT TO: Inside the PE ship, Leelas quarters. Some time later (Yes, we
missed it… ;)
Fry is lying naked in Leelas bed. Leela has fallen asleep with her head on
his chest, Fry moves his left hand through her hair which she let loose
before. A big grin has formed on his face and no matter how much he tries
to hide it, it simply wont go away.
He gives her a small kiss on the head, switches off the lights and falls
asleep a few moments later.
CUT TO: Dream sequence, darkness.
Frys form materializes to find Leela sitting a few meters away from him.
The darkness is filled with tiny dots of shining light making it look
exactly like they were floating in space.
Leela is just sitting there, looking out towards the stars, her mind
spacing out completely. Fry walks up to her.
Fry: Hi.
Leela: Hi.
Fry (after a short pause): I like what youve done to the place.
Leela (giggles): Yeah, I thought the absolute blackness could use a little
life.
Fry sits down next to her, and put his arm around her waist.
Leela slowly leans toward him as Fry just sits there, staring into the
void.
Fry: Its taken more than 2 years… How Ive longed for this moment.
Leela (silently): Yeah. Me too. I thought Id never meet the one…
Fry: …and then you found out he had been there all along?
Leela (smiles): Yeah…
They just sit there with their arms around each other, the stars around
them pulsating silently. Fry and Leela never felt so happy to be alive.
CUT TO: Inside the PE ship, Leelas quarters. Eight hours later.
Leela and Fry are sleeping peacefully, when their bliss is interrupted by
the voice of the autopilot.
Autopilot (intercom): Attention! Destination achieved. Please return to
manual control for landing procedures.
Leela slowly opens her eye.
Leela (sleepy): *yawn* Hm? Oh, right. He wont do any landing since I
scolded him for goofing off with Bender before.
Autopilot (intercom): Which I might add was totally his fault…
Leela: You are supposed to be responsible for everyone on this ship when
I’m not at the wheel, I will _not_ tolerate any goofing off.
Autopilot: Whatever…
Fry awakens from the sound of the discussion.
Fry (sleepy): *yawn* What up?
Leela: *Sigh* I have to go and land the ship Fry, we have arrived.
Fry: Already?
Leela: Well, have _have_ been out for the entire journey so…
Fry (witty): Gee, times really does fly when youre having fun.
Leela (smiling): Oh really? You thought it was fun?
Fry: Well, yeah. Sure, (seductively) why wouldnt it be?
Leela (giggles): Oh Fry you little rascal…
They begin to tickle each other and roll around in the bed.
*ooh* * giggle* *haha* *hihi* *Aah!*
Autopilot: Oh gees
*hahaha* *ohoho* *hihi stop it* *argh, im coming for ya!* *giggle*
Autopilot: *COUGH*
Both Fry and Leela stops and looks up at the intercom.
Autopilot: I you two can keep your hands off each other for 5 minutes I
believe I told you that we have reached earth and is about to land.
Leela (disappointed): *sigh* Spoilsport…
Fry (seductively): Theres always later…
Leela (getting up): Yeah. I guess we should get to work.
Leela and Fry get up from the bed, picks up their clothes (which are
scattered all over the floor) and gets dressed.
CUT TO: CGI of the PE ship.
The PE ship blasts off towards earth and we see it fly through the
atmosphere and approach the PE building. Leela requests permission to land
and the roof doors of the hangar opens. The ship makes a perfect landing
and the doors close again.
Inside the hangar the rest of the gang is waiting at the ship exit as our
friends walk down.
Leela: Hi everyone! Did you miss us?
Prof: Wonderful! You have returned.
Fry: You really missed us that much?
Hermes: No, not really. But we received a report dat you had been captured
and executed and de professor was worried dat he had to fill in de
requisition forms to get de ship back. (he points to a mountain of stacked
papers in the corner).
Fry: Oh.
Amy: Hi Leela, welcome back.
Leela: Amy? I though you were supposed to be studying this week at Mars U?
Amy: Yeah, but I convinced (wink) my teacher that I would benefit more by
staying here at planet express for a while.
Leela (rolls eye): Of course…
Amy: Anyway. It does seem like I had good timing though, the ship looks
really messed up. What did you do to it this time?
Leela (counting on her fingers): Lets see… There was Benders drinking
competition with the autopilot, the alien attack ship, the asteroid field,
the missiles, the Nimbus fighter squadrons…
Amy: Ok, ok, I get the idea…
Leela (walking away with the others): Oh, and the afterburner got wasted
after the missile impact so you better take a look at that too…
Amy (muttering something in martian): Right….
CUT TO: Hermes office, some time later.
Fry, Leela and Bender are standing in front of Hermes desk.
Hermes: So.. dats what happened?
Leela: Thats about it.
Hermes: What about de Nimbus? Why did dey let you go?
Leela: Bender… ah… acquired… something we used for bargaining.
Hermes: Which was…?
Leela hands him the folder, Hermes looks inside.
Hermes (face turning green): Oh.. ugh.. Sweet sticks of Limboland… Its
absolutely nauseating mon. I can understand that captain Brannigan would
want to bargain with you.
Leela: …..
Hermes: *blurp* I think I need to… um… go somewhere… dismissed.
CUT TO: PE building, TV room.
Fry, Leela and Bender walks in.
Fry: What was that all about?
Leela: Believe me Fry, you dont want to know.
Bender: Yeah. Even I got sick watching those pictures. I cant wait to post
them on the internet, hehe.
Leela: Not this time you dont. We may need those in the future should we
have to deal with Zapp again.
Bender: You always ruin the fun parts! Screw this, I’m gonna watch TV. (He
sits down and flicks it on)
Lindas familiar face plops up on the screen with a recent news report.
Linda: …so this means that the New New York television network will once
again face the lawsuits of the mind controlled victims.
Morbo: The humans should spend more time trembling in fear of my superior
kind than meddle in petty lawsuits.
Linda: *chuckle* In other news, the plot takes a turn for the ending today
as millions of critics have already begun swarming the mailbox of the
unfortunate man, striving to persuade him to kill the project before
sundown. Horrifying turn of event huh Morbo?
Morbo: Morbo could care less.
Linda: *chuckle*
Bender switches the channel.
Bender: Oh! All my circuits is on again. Amazing timing I got, dont I?
Leela: I think Ill go and see how Amy is doing with the rapairs on the
ship.
Fry (shrugs his shoulders): I think Ill just stay here watch TV. You got
an extra beer Bender?
Bender (taking one out of his compartment): Here you go buddy…
CUT TO: Hangar
The professor is talking to Amy as Leela approaches.
Prof: …and I simply _must_ find it! Ooh, vanity…
Leela: What is it professor?
Prof: I was just instructing Amy to make a thorough search of the ship for
the TTPs. They must be around there somewhere.
Leela: Youre sure theyre not in the building?
Prof: Impossible! Ive already have Zoidberg convinced that they were
actually made out of candy and he still hasnt found them (points to
Zoidberg who is frantically searching an old exhaust pipe).
Leelas mind: Fry. Could you ask Bender if he took the TTPs?
Frys mind: Huh? Whats that?
Leelas mind: *sigh* the pills that the professor demonstrated before we
left the other day.
Frys mind: Oh, those. But I saw a spy in the cell inside the Nimbus! Im
convinced that theyre involved!
Leelas mind: Fry… just do it.
Frys mind: Whatever…
Amy: Leela? Are you alright, you seemed to be spacing out just now.
Leela (startled): Huh!? Oh… its nothing… (she quickly walks away)
Prof: Hmm. If I didnt know Leela better, which I actually dont at all,
Id say shes hiding something…
Amy: Leela? No… I think Bender is the one we should talk to.
Prof: Who?
Amy: Bender. You know, that robot who always steals your inventions.
Prof: Never heard of him…
Amy: [incomprehensible martian muttering]
CUT TO: TV room.
Fry: Bender… Ah… Did you steal the professors new invention?
Bender: What!? Nooo. I’m ashamed of you Fry! As soon as something gets
stolen, just blame the robot! I cannot believe this outrage.
Fry: Ok, ok… sorry.
Bender: By the way Fry, you still owes me 50$
Fry: I know, I know. Its just that someone took my wallet so I cant pay
you yet.
Bender: Dont worry about it Fry. Ill just loan it to you, at a measly 60%
interest.
Fry: Ok! Thanks Bender.
Bender: No problem.
CUT TO: PE building conference room. An hour later.
The whole gang except Zoidberg (who is still searching) are sitting around
the table.
Hermes: ..and for those 2 m reasons I think dat I should go home early. So,
bye (he leaves).
Fry: So… now what? Can the rest of us go home too?
The doorbell rings.
Prof: Oh my. Can anyone get that?
They all just pretend they dont hear him.
Prof: Very well. If we all….
The doorbell rings again.
Prof: Oh my. Can anyone get that?
The others look at everything else but the professor.
Frys mind: Should we offer ourselves?
Leelas mind: Nah. Not today.
Prof: I see. Now, onto the business of…
The doorbell rings a third, a fourth and a fifth time in rapid succession.
Prof: Oh my. Who could it be? Can anyone get that?
The others just stare at him.
Prof: Fine! Ill do it myself, then. (he gets up)
Leelas mind: Ugh. About time…
Frys mind: The old geezer just cant take a hint…
The professor walks up to the door and opens it, a hooded man steps in.
Prof: Yes?
Hood: I come with a message.
Prof: Yes?
Hood: The product you promised us hasnt been delivered. We… _urge_…
you to hasten your progress.
Prof: Oh my…
Hood: That is all… (he leaves)
The professor returns to the table.
Leela: So… who was it?
Prof: Wha-?
Leela: The person outside the door.
Prof: No-one! Absolutely no-one. Now I have good news! We shall all try to
find out who stole my new invention!
Fry: But I thought you said you were convinced youd misplaced it?
Prof: I didnt say anything about that, now off you go!
They all get up and start looking around the building.
Leela follows Bender around as he is looking for possible escape routes.
Fry giving the sofa a thorough lookover while he is sitting in it, then
turns on the TV. Zoidberg is sniffing around the kitchen sink for something
to eat. Amy is looking around inside the ship while filing her nails. The
professor stares blankly into space.
After two hours, and this activity still hasnt revealed any thief nor
invention they all gather in the kitchen where Fry is having some coffee.
Prof: Ohh, vanity thy name…
Fry: Aw, dont worry professor. I’m sure itll turn up sooner or later.
Leela: I still think that Bender took it.
Bender: Hey! Thats what Fry said before! I told him you just blame me
because I cleaned out your lockers last week.
Fry: Hey? Thats not what you told me at all!
Bender: Oh I sure did. You and Leela have been acting very weird lately. I
bet you are just using me as an excuse because _you_ stole it.
Fry: What!?
Prof: This is very serious indeed. I believe there is only one way to solve
this.
Bender: Give Fry a savage beating? I’m way ahead of you… (he begins to
walk towards Fry)
Prof (shakes his head): No! We will simply search all of Frys personal
belongings.
Fry: Ok, whatever.
CUT TO: Inside the PE building, the laboratory.
Fry is sitting on the labtable, the others have gathered around him.
Prof: Well, it seems as if Frys locker didnt contain the invention after
all…
Fry: Told you…
Prof: …So well just have to search Frys body itself. (He straps on a
rubber glove)
Fry (getting really uncomfortable): Uhh… professor… You arent thinking
about… that…?
Prof: But of course! What better way is there to search the insides of
another human?
Fry (looking for a way out): uhm.. hehe..ah..
The professor walks up towards the terrified Fry with a devilish smile on
his face. He stretches up towards a shelf with an open container, all gooey
with some green substance.
Fry covers his eyes as the professor takes the container and puts it down
next to him.
Prof: There it is!
Fry (peeking carefully): Huh?
Fry spots the professor pulling out the F-ray from the back of the shelf,
the container had obviously been in the way.
Fry (relieved): Phew…
Prof: Now lets see what we can find (he switches it on and points it at
Fry)
Prof: Aha! There! There is one of them! (he points at Frys illuminated
brain, it has a small electrical device lodged in the middle)
Bender (taking advantage of the situation): Aha! Fry, how could you?
Fry: It wasnt me, I swear!
Prof: Dont lie to me! I can see right through you!
Leela (interjecting): Ah, professor. You better use that F-ray on my head
too.
Prof: Wha-? Oh, ok then. (He points it at Leelas head too, we can plainly
see a small device lodged inside her brain as well)
Amy: Smeesh Leela! You have one of those things too?
Bender: Wait a minute! Does this mean you two can talk to each other
without the rest of us hearing it?
Fry and Leela nods.
Bender: Oho… this does explain a lot.
Leela: But Fry is speaking the truth professor, we didnt steal the pills.
We got them they day you demonstrated them to us.
Zoidberg: But how..?
Leela: Well… it mustve gotten into something we ate that day and as far
as I know…
Everybody looks at Bender.
Bender (faking innocence): What?
Leela: It couldve happened no other way since we only ate _one_ single
thing that day. The hamster pie!
Fry: What? This cant be true!? Bender…?
Bender: No!… Uhh… It was…. Scruffy… Yeah…. (He bolts out the
door).
Prof: After him!
The whole gang chases Bender out the laboratory.
CUT TO: Outside the PE building, at the end of the day.
Leela and Fry are walking hand in hand, talking about the days events.
Fry: Man. I couldnt believe Bender actually stole the pills.
Leela: I thought it was pretty obvious, he really badly didnt want to feel
human emotion ever again.
Fry: Well, I for one cannot understand that (looks at Leela longingly)
Leela (smiling and looking back): Indeed. Bender hasnt got a clue what
hes missing.
Fry: Do you think Amy will put him back together again?
Leela: I would think so. Amy has a soft spot for every living thing, even
Bender though he isnt technically alive.
Fry: The professor did a really ingenious move when he used the busted
microwave to stop Bender, I wonder how he figured that out…
Leela: You know… I actually axed him about that, but he only grinned at
me and said hed seen it in a movie.
They walk together for a while until they arrive at a crossroads.
Leela: Well, this is it. Im going to go home to get some sleep, you should
get over to Benders apartment as well.
Fry: Ah… Well… I kinda thought that I could…
Leelas mind: …follow me home?
Frys mind: Yeah… something like that.
Fry: I mean… Bender wont be home for a long time and its kinda boring
to watch TV all by myself…
Leela: Ok.
Fry: …so I kinda thought that… What?
Leela: Its ok Fry. You can sleep in my apartment for the night.
Fry just smiles back, and takes Leelas hand as they leave together.
CUT TO: Leelas apartment 1I, later.
Leela and Fry are entering though the door.
Leela: Ok Fry. You can take the couch and Ill take the bed.
Fry (disappointed): Oh…
Leela: Thats not what you had in mind? (she sits down on the couch)
Fry: Ah… no its ok. (he sits down next to her)
Frys mind: Damn…
Leelas mind: Oh really? So its not ok?
Fry: Uh… I mean
Leelas mind: You just came here to go to bed with me didnt you?
Fry (face turning red): Uh… I…
Leelas mind: You couldnt stop yourself from picturing yourself together
with my hot naked body…
Fry (face red as a cherry): Ah… stop it…
Leela (after a short while, a big grin on her face): Revenge sure is sweet.
Fry (still red but smiling): It was… low of me to embarrass you in public
like that…
Leela: Yes, it was.
Fry (shameful): I… I hope you can forgive me…?
Leela (seductively): Hmm, maybe…
She leans over and gives him a small kiss. A few moments pass where they
just look at each other and then they both lock their arms around each
other and kiss again, a real frenchie this time.
Fry and Leela slowly move themselves towards the bedroom, each of them not
wanting to let go. The door creaks slightly as it shuts behind them.
CUT TO: Leelas apartment 1I, Bedroom. Some time later.
Fry and Leela are laying together is post-ecstatic bliss. Her hair has been
let loose once more and Fry cannot help but move his fingers through it
over and over again, feeling its softness.
Leela is lying on his left arm, looking up at him.
Leela (quietly): I never thought it could even be possible for me to be as
happy as I am right now Fry.
Fry (equally quietly): Yeah, same here. You really are something.
Leela: Fry?
Fry: Mm?
Leela: Do you love me?
Fry: Why do you ask a question you already know the answer to?
Leela: I want to hear you say it.
Fry (quietly): Leela… (pause) I love you.
Leela closes her eye and cuddles in next to Fry. Truly, this would have to
be the happiest day of her life.
