Fry was numb.
All feeling in his body was gone, leaving him feeling fuzzy. Full of cotton.
At first he thinks he heard something, but he's so out of it that it sounded like static from a tv in a different room. Did he forget to turn it off again? He hopes not, Bender might get mad again.
There was that sound again, it was louder now. Did Bender turn the volume up?
'...ry...'
Huwah?
'f...y...!'
Was someone talking to him? he couldn't see, the lights were off.
'...Ph...lp...fr...!..'
Why was it so warm all of the sudden?
'Fr...lease...swer...m...o...rry...!'
Bender? When did he get into Frys room?
Ow...why does he hurt?
'Fry...ld...on..!'
Leela...?
'C'mon...bag..!'
The voices of Bender and Leela continued to call out to him, in words still unable to be processed but heard none the less.
God why does his skin burn so much..!
'o...et...th...ctor...!'

Fire lit up around Fry, blinding him, pinning him down to the ground as the feeling of unfamiliar hands grabbed at him. The burning intensifies.

He tries to do something, throw them off, get away from the flames, but a new pair of hands stop him.
The pair slip onto his shoulders, not doing anything but giving a few reassuring squeezes. They were cold, and metal.
Bender!
He hears Bender, as clear as day, speak to him.
"That's right Budd, 's me, just calm down and let them do their job."
Why does he sound so weird?
Fry feels the fire around start to die out, the burning pain toning down just a bit as well.
another hand slips into his own, and suddenly Leela's talking too.
"Come on Fry, it'll stop hurting soon. You just need to stop moving."
Why does she sound weird too? Like she's sad-
Waitnoleelapleasedontbesadiloveyoubendertoonosadwhohurtyouillhelpjustletme-
"Meatbag please stop moving they need t- to give you the medicine to help the pain stop."
He feels the hands on his shoulders squeeze again, and Fry goes as still as he can, though he doesn't remember being able to move.
Theres a hand on his neck, and the fire shifts, like he's looking at a different angle. and he feels a small pinch.
The flames quickly rise, triple their original size, and Fry is briefly consumed in pain.
Both Leela and Bender begin to reassure him. Whispers of "I love you"'s and "You're ok"'s reaching him as the pain starts to dull faster than before.
His last clear thought is asking what exactly happened to him.
