"Why do we always have to keep the window open Bender?" Asked Fry, crossing his arms to stay warm from the cool night breeze.
"Cause, it gets warm in here during the summer time." Replied Bender.
Fry put on a face of annoyance, "But it's October!"
"Shut up you big baby, it's not like your gonna get sick and die." Said Bender.
"But, it's not that I'm worried about, Bender. Don't you remember the radioactive owls that have been roaming the streets at night?" Said Fry.
Bender stuck his head out of the window and saw the night owls…but these weren't ordinary night owls. They had fangs sticking out of their beaks, their wings were green and scaly, plus they were breathing fire.
Bender sighed, he walked towards the couch and reached underneath it, grabbing a window screen. He then placed it on the windowsill.
"There, happy? Now good night." Bender said, heading off to his "room".
"But Bender…ugh! Fine, but you aren't getting any of my sunflower seeds!" Said Fry, he picked a sunflower seed from his pocket and flung it in Benders direction then walked into his room, but knowing Fry, he missed and it hit the floor.
"Whiney little baby," Bender mumbled to himself, "stupid humans and their…..human bodies. Lucky I'm a robot so I can never get sick."
His bedroom door opened, he entered his room and the door closed. But it didn't close all the way. Fry's sesame seed had prevented the door from shutting all the way down, leaving a nice small crack.
The air became cooler over the night, and with the window open, the apartment was just as cool. The breeze slowly crept through living room and closer and closer to Benders room. It seeped through the crack and wrapped around Bender like a blanket.
Bender found himself in the PE examination room the next morning, looking a whitish grey. He was groaning and holding his lower abdomen, coughing up oil. Fry and Leela were there with him.
Zoidberg took his magnifying glass and was observing parts of Bender's body at random.
"Hmmmmm….." Zoidberg said, stroking his tentacles with his claws.
"So Dr. Zoidberg, what should I do?" Asked bender.
"I would suggest you see a doctor." Proclaimed Dr.Zoidberg.
"But, you are a doctor." said Fry.
Zoidberg chuckled and placed his claws on his head, "Oh, ho ho ho, I forgot! Well then, I suggest you go to a pharmacy and prescribe some medication, your processors are very cold…I suggest getting prespirising H to heat those up."
"The pharmacy? Woohoo! I can put my head through the blood pressure test squeezer ma-thing and get all light headed and start seeing those weird colours again." said Fry, "but just one question, when did they start giving medication at a pharmacy for robots?"
Usually, somebody would have a very logical answer to any of Fry's question about the future, but this was one of those times where it didn't make any sense to them either. So they just looked at Fry and shrugged.
A few minutes later, they arrived at a pharmacy. Fry found a Blood pressure test machine and put his head through the armrest, and then pressed, "go". Leela went to look for some "female items" and Bender walked up to the medication counter.
In front of him was the head of Christopher Walken, who was yelling angrily at the Pharmacist.
The woman across the counter sighed, "We know you need more cowbell, Mr. Walken." she replied.
A man walked up to the jar and carried the celebrity away. Bender was next and walked towards the counter. He slipped her the note that Zoidberg had written, and his handwritting made words...a little off.
She squinted her eyes, "Salami splitzers?"
Leela walked towards the counter, "I think its 'prespirizing H'." she said.
The pharmacist nodded and then reached under the counter, "Okay then, you must take 2 of these tablets a day."
The woman pulled out a very large package…almost the size of a large cargo crate. Bender observed it for a few minutes then pointed on the lower left corner of the box.
"This is children's medicine," he said.
The pharmacist looked down, "Oh right," she turned around, "Ed! Bring in the fork lift!"
Bender, Leela and Fry (who's face was now purple) entered the PE conference room with an extremely large box. The three carefully dropped the mass item onto the ground. Bender opened one of the sides with a crowbar and pulled out a long piece of a red hot metallic material. He bent it into a very small square and threw it down his throat.
"Ow, ow! Hot hot hot!" he waved his arms in the air until it cooled down, "Now to wash this stuff down," he said, he pulled out a bottle of beer and opened it.
"Wait Bender!" shouted Leela, "You shouldn't take medication with alcohol!"
Bender looked at her, "Pfft, what's gonna happen to me? Am I gonna get a heart attack or something? oooh I'm so scared!"
"Yeah Leela!" said Fry, "Listen to him."
Bender chugged down all of the beer in one gulp and threw the bottle away. He sighed in relief and sat down. But a strange feeling came over him. He started getting twitchy and shaky, and the area that was his chest started to smoke up.
"Ow! What's happening with me?!" Screamed the robot, his body was going out of control. His square pupils turned to x's and he fell on his back. Sparks were shooting from his armpits and limbs. His metal visors came down and covered his eyes, and he slowly turned off.
Everyone in the conference room went silent, and just stared down at the malfunctioning robot. Shocked by how subtle that was.
Bender opened his eyes and screamed; he didn't know what was going on, or what just happened. His five o'clock rust was covering his mouth. He looked at his arms…….he was his normal colour grey.
"Phew, I'm back to my sexy coloured self!" He said relieved.
Bender look up and jumped back in shock…..there was a robot standing right in front of him.
Bender pointed at the being, "Who the hell are you?"
"I'm………you." Replied the robot.
Bender closed his eyes and fainted.
A/N: So yeah, a quick intro to my nextest fic. I'll try to update this week.
