I Don't know what to call it yet!

I do not own Futurama or any of the characters in it and I do not intend to make a profit from this story, it is here because I want to, like many others have before me to try and create something wonderful.

Long note from author: I've always loved Futurama since the first episode I ever saw ('The Farnsworth Parabox',) I only caught the first half and really wanted to see the second half since I missed it.

From there I have become a huge fan of Futurama, (DVDs, T-shirts, etc) and I have been thinking for a while about writing my own story of the show, which is what I am going to do. Right now it is

the 17th of January 2009, so I am waiting for the last of the four Futurama films ('Into the Wild Green Yonder') to be released at the end of February. To contain myself from jumping straight in and writing this too quickly, I think i'm really going to take my time. I've had a sort of idea for a while of what I want the story to involve, but mainly, hell it'll be made up as I go along, let's see how it goes. "January 17th 2009"

Chapter 1: You can't just leave

Fry was following Bender around their completely trashed apartment after the hooker party Bender had thrown that night at the Robot Arms Apts, apartment number 00100100.

"Bender this is crazy, you can't expect me to clean this up myself, I won't be finished for another thousand years, and I don't think I wanna spend all that time cleaning up!" Fry moaned as he shuffled around following the grey robot.

"You know Fry I don't think you understand the concept of 'Bender Time' it means a time where a modest robot like myself gets to take a break after slaving under the professor and big boots for a while."

Bender was teetering around the apartment collecting up anything he would want while he was away to wherever it was he was going, with Fry half-asleep following him and attempting to stop him leaving.

"I'm being serious here Bender you can't leave, you just had a big dumb party with your stupid robot friends who i've hated since they got here while they all got hooked on hookers and electricity, and i'm pretty sure that was a while ago, and now you're going all of a sudden!"

"Meatbag you disappoint me. I told you I was going away a million times already but you had your deflated brain concentrated on something else."

"I think I would remember if it was a million times Bender!"

"Well it wasn't exactly a million, maybe a million and 2, my memory unit's been a bit fuzzy lately, and well hello I think i'll take this with me too." Bender said as he picked up a photgraph of Fry and Leela on Zoidberg's back from the table.

"Hey how did that get there? I always keep that in my back pocket!"

"Maybe next time you should put it in your front pocket so you can see ol' Bender's hands takin your stuff and besides you were too distracted with tryin to get your head out of may I say, yet another crater, so I figured i'd have a quick mooch around your pockets. Oh by the way your credit card is overdrawn by five hundred dollars just lettin you know."

"What! What on Earth cost you more than five hundred dollars?"

"Do that thing you humans call thinking, skin-tube, how do you think the hookers and other robots came over tonight, what you think i've actually got time for makin real friends? Pfft forget that."

Fry seemed to completely forget within the space of 10 seconds about the money.

"Why do you wanna take the picture? It's the only thing i've got that reminds me of a really special time for me!"

"Hey sometimes I, well, I kinda miss you guys when you aren't with me, so I gotta have some kinda memory right? But anyway it's time I got going, I would stay and clean up but I really don't want to."

With that (and many more of his own and Fry's possessions) Bender stormed out of the apartment cackling his evil robot laugh before Fry could get another word in. The self-loving robot took the elevator to the ground level, exited the front door and made his way behind the extremely tall building until he came to the parking lot where, waiting for him was Fry's old Vaulkswagon van that had been fished out of the ocean after it was turned into a temporary rowing boat. Bender decided to be cool, even though it was the middle of the night and nobody was watching anyway, by trying to dive through the open window of the van, he put down all his and Fry's possessions, took a few steps back and then leaped forward, the problem was he forgot to dive and ended up going metal face-first into the vehicle.

"Ahh, lousy human machine, what'd humans ever make machines for anyway, all they do is annoy you, if you ask me the world would be better off without them." Bender complained as he looked around hoping nobody saw his ridiculous diving attempt.

He then opened the door of the van and scatered all of the small, shiny, blue orbs off of the driving seat and hopped in.

"Ok I forgot the keys but I ain't goin back up to get em! Well here goes nothing."

Bender then began hitting away at all parts of the man-made machine in front of him with his hands and foot cups until the machine roared to life.

"Hmm, I really am the greatest, i'd better remember to write this down in my story of the amazing life of everyone's favourite robot, Bender."

Bender at 2.25 in the moring took off in the van in the dark, but then came back precisely 1 minute later after realising he had left his bag of items from the apartment on the parking lot floor. Taking off again he threw the photo of Fry, Leela and Zoidberg out the window since he detested the sight of Zoidberg so much, that and the sight of other people being happy.

And I think that'll be the end of chapter 1, I don't think it was that bad, pretty good in fact if I do say so myself ;) You'll probably not understand some of the references in this chapter that I put in if you haven't seen the epsiodes they're from, ('Bendin in the Wind' and 'The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings' are the ones). This has been fun to write and i've tried to keep Fry and Bender in character as much as I could, I hope i didn't try too hard with that. I've already read a lot of Futurama Fan Fics and read reviews and the main complaint i've seen was people acting out of character. I hope I did okay! Please do leave a review before you go and tell me what you thought because i'd love to know. P.S. I wrote this on the day I made my FanFic account so I won't be able to upload it until 2 days time :( shame for me.
