Chapter 1: Good news everyone
We begin our story in the fashion so many other Futurama episodes were introduced. In the employee longue of the Planet Express building. Fry and bender sitting in their grooves on the couch watching 'All my circuits'.
Leela doing, uh...something with the thingamabob on her wrist. (The amount of times we've seen her use it in the show I think she's just trying to look busy.)
Amy was sitting opposite her at the table and talking to her amphibious boyfriend Kiff on her new finger phone, just put your pinkie to your mouth and your thumb to your ear and start speaking. (now available with over 100 ring tones, not a recommended item for surgeons, butchers or professional nose pickers.)
'Dr' (note apostrophes for sarcasm) Zoidberg was sitting on a couch arm his head currently stuck in a waste paper basket as various disgusting sounds of his using the abomination he called a mouth could be heard as he consumed the contents of the basket whether it was food or not.
The door next to the lobster monster slid open as a thing more wrinkles than skin walked in. It was a shrivelled old man that looked like he could be picked up by a gentle breeze if not for his heavy lab coat and thick rimmed glasses, the power to lift his feet all but gone he resorted to shuffling along in his slippers.
"Good news everyone."
Which always meant
"Bad news everyone."
Their was an explosion of movement by all others present. Amy and Zoidberg ran out the rooms other door while Fry and bender being to lazy to run over to the same door settled for just jumping out the window. Leela moaned but she turned to face the old man who sent them to their doom on a weekly basis.
"Okay what is it this time. We taking nerve gas frozen in ice to the sun world again."
"Oh my no." The old man said.
"The latest batch of zombie's from one of your experiments to Necros 12."
"No. The damn mayors office won't let me take them off the planet any more for some idiotic valid reason or another so I have to keep them in the basement with scruffy."
Leela knew if she asked she wouldn't like the answer. "Okay then were taking diet books to Lardian 3. The fat planet."
"Oh you mean the place where it's illegal to be under 300 pounds and they kill skinny people on sight?
"Yep."
"No no no. That's tomorrows mission. I just wanted to tell everyone than I've got the 'What If machine' working better than ever now."
A groan was heard coming through the door as Fry came limping in with a Bender who had a massive dent in his head where he landed.
"Professor why'd you even build that thing anyway. All it does is show you things that can't or didn't happen. If I wanted to be disappointed with my life as it is now I'd just watch television."
Leela didn't agree. "I don't now. I like the idea of seeing how things would have turned out."
The professor raised his arms to shush them. "Now now settle down. We can all discuss whether or not the 'What If machine' is a good invention or not as we go to watch it or your all fired." He then shuffled out of the room followed by three stooped over young individuals.
They were pleasantly surprised to see that the new what if machine looked like an old xbox games console only golden in colour sitting dead centre on the conference table. They also noted that everyone else was sitting at the table and also looking like they didn't want to be here. Professor Farsworth took the biggest seat at the table and punched a few commands into the keyboard in front of him.
"Now then the new 'what if machine' instead of showing us on a flat screen will instead feed the information directly into our brains via a wireless signal and allow us to experience anything our 'what if' selves may experience. Insidently do any of you have a metal plate in your head." The resident bending robot and the 1000 year old drop-out raised their hands.
"Your a robot so it shouldn't affect you much bender, and Fry." He turned his attention to his great many times over uncle. "If you start to feel a sensation like your brain is melting please try not to scream to loud."
"Will do professor."
"Good now all that's left is to ask a question." He said as he produced a microphone from his pocket.
I don't plan for story's to be any longer than they have to. This was just the introduction to the story so here's how it will break down. A poll will be opened with several options on it. Whenever a certain choice has enough votes I will remove it and try to make a chapter out of it. Any choice that is not their you can put on the review board and I 'WILL' put it on the board. This is not a serious fic and will not have an actual ending so much as when I and anyone with suggestions will run out of 'what if''s'.
Hope you enjoy and see you later
