Winning is Everything

Hi everyone! I have never done a Simpsons fic, or a Futurama fic, so this is kinda new to me. Hopefully my first try will be successful, just like my other fics! Well, enjoy, and please R/R!

Winning is Everything

Chapter 1: The Invitations

(At 742 Evergreen Terrace)

Marge: Homer, kids, I have the mail!

Bart: Oh mom, mail is so 1990's! E-mail is the wave of the future!

Marge: Here's one for you, Bart.

Bart: Alright, gimme!

(Bart grabs mail from Marge)

Marge: Here's your issue of "Reading Digest", Lisa.

Lisa: Wow! This month's special is on the mating habits of the Komodo Dragon!

(Lisa takes magazine from Marge)

Marge: There's even one for Maggie! Here's this month's issue of "Pacifiers Illustrated"!

Maggie: suck suck

(Maggie takes magazine, rolls it up and starts sucking on it)

Homer: Aww, there's never anything for me!

Marge: Here's one for you, Homie.

Homer: Woo-hoo!

(Homer quickly tears open the letter)

Bart: What does it say, Home-boy?

Homer: Family, this is the happiest day of our lives. The Simpsons have been invited to be on a TV gameshow!

(At Planet Express Headquarters)

Professor Farnsworth: Good news everyone, we've been invited to a TV gameshow!

Fry: Really? How many people get to go?

Farnsworth: Bad news everyone, only five of us can go!

Leela: Well, I don't really want to go, Professor, let the others go.

Dr. Zoidberg: Ooh, ooh, pick me! My crab bretheren will get to see me shine in my 15 minutes of fame! Please pick me!

Farnsworth: Well, since the letter was mailed to me, I will choose who goes. Bender, your quick wit will be needed to win.

Bender: Damn right!

Farnsworth: Fry, your extensive knowledge of pop culture due to hours of watching TV will also be needed.

Fry: (confused) Pop culture?

Farnsworth: Amy, I pick you, because I would rather have you there than here.

Amy: Guh?

Farnsworth: And Leela, as captain, you must lead this rag-tag team of numskulls.

Leela: But, I already said, I don't want to go!

Farnsworth: Leela... don't force me to throw you into my secret alligator dungeon!

Leela: sigh Fine, I'll go, but on one condition. You have to let me pick the last person on our team.

Farnsworth: Alright then, I guess I'll have to find someone else to throw into my alligator dungeon.

Hermes: Well, I can't go, the boys at the office are holding a limbo contest that day, and I can't miss that, mon!

Dr. Zoidberg: Oh, pick me, great Leela! Pretty please with anchovies on top!

(Leela looks around the room)

Leela: I pick... Nibbler!

(Nibbler runs up to Leela and hugs her)

Everyone: Aww, he's so cute!

(Everyone excepts Dr. Zoidberg crowds around Nibbler and pet him)

Dr. Zoidberg: Wait, Zoidberg can be cute too!

Well, there's my first chapter! Did you like it?
