A.N.: Ok, this is my first Futurama fanfic :). I love the show! And I got this idea while not being able to sleep. It's cute… I at least think it's cute. It's based in the year 3035. The Main characters are OC, Leela, Fry, and the rest of the gang will be incorporated by the next chapter and so on. It's a little confusing but the next chapter would have more details and be less confusing. Ok! I hope you enjoy, give the story a chance :) R&R!
February 14, 3035. New New York.
"Jeez… On the most romantic day of the year, instead of being with my boyfriend all day, I decide, "oh, I'll cover for Lucy! Lucy is cool!" How the hell was I suppose to know there where two Lucys working at the office? I thought I'd be working on a crime file or a murder case. Lousy boss." She mumbled to herself, stamping another ticket to another moron's car.
She stood up and wiped her forehead, pushing her long purple hair off her shoulders. She was wearing her police uniform with her beige winter jacket over it. It was quite cold for a February morning.
She began walking down the street watching the couples and the families go for late breakfasts and early lunches. She sighed; she could be spending her day with her boyfriend in front of the fire, happy, in love, not alone.
Suddenly a quick flash of black flashed past her.
"Hey!" She shouted after jumping back. "Watch where you're going, punk!"
"Sorry Sis!" The boy laughed, gliding down the street.
"Storm! You jerk!" She shouted, ignoring the various people looking at her. "Moron." She mumbled, continuing down the street.
"Yeah, but you love me." She stopped dead in her tracks and turned around slowly.
"You are a jerk." She said to the boy with the familiar smirk, and the red/purple hair, much like her own. His chestnut color eyes sparkled mischievously.
"I love you too." He said, gliding next to her at a slow pace. "Got stuck working?"
"We all can't be as lucky as you." She mumbled.
"I'd hardly call a flexible job lucky." He said, looking at her.
"I wish I could be a space pilot… travel to exotic places, only work maybe once or twice a week."
"Only because I end up having to stay on those exotic places for days at a time." He said shaking his head. "It's good pay though."
"I know it is." She sighed, stamping a ticket onto another car.
"What's wrong?" He asked, jumping over a fire hydrant.
"Their anniversary is next week."
"Not this again." His shoulders slumped as he looked at his sister.
"Aura… grandma died four months ago, and grandpa two years ago, I don't think they'll care if we don't go all out on their anniversary."
"It's not that… it's just… I miss them."
"Yeah, I know." He said, hopping off his board, walking along side her. "So…"
A beep sound went off, Aura smiled.
"Yes! I'm done for the day! I'm gonna go home and get some rest." Aura began walking down another street.
"Mind if I go with you? Darcy is doing some meditation crap until five… I can't handle it." Stormed smiled to his sister, who simply glared back.
"…Fine… but only because you're my brother… I don't really like you."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know." Storm hopped back onto his glider and zoomed through the crowd of people.
"Oh sure… leave me behind… I'm the one with the key!"

"You so had no right to have a key made for my apartment!" Aura shouted at her brother as she walked out of her room in a pair of black flair jeans and a beige tee shirt. She had her glasses on as she skimmed through a book in her hand.
"Mistress Aura!"
"Oh good god." Aura said, shaking her head. She turned to see Nibbler, her family's pet, the one that wouldn't ever die. "What?"
"I have some distressing news."
"…What?" Aura asked, urging him to go on. He opened his mouth, only to be stopped by a sharp scream from the kitchen. Aura turned towards the kitchen. "Storm… ah!" She dropped her book, grabbing her stomach.
"What the f—?" Storm said, walking into the living room, clutching his stomach.
"There's been a tear in the time stream." Nibbler said, looking at the two siblings. They glared at him slightly.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Storm asked, angry and unamused.
"It seems someone is messing with the time stream, more specifically your time stream."
"Like how?" Aura asked, standing up, the pain lessening.
"I don't know. But if we don't fix the problem you and your brother could cease to exist."
"I'm still confused." Storm said.
"Ok… someone… I don't know who… had to have gone back in time and now is corrupting with your mother and father's relationship. The relationship in which you stem from." Storm looked at him, confusion still on his face.
"Mom and dad are in trouble in the past. We have to figure out a way to help them." Aura looked at Nibbler. "So… what should we do?"
"I'll have to see if I kind find out more of the situation, but maybe you should go to the professor and see if you can find a solution."
"You know… you're no real big help." Storm said glaring at the small rodent.
"I'll be in touch." Nibbler seemed to disappear.
"I hate him." Storm said, rubbing his head.
"Let's go… let me cancel my date, and then we'll go." Aura shook her head and walked into the bedroom.
Storm sat on the couch and looked at the picture of his parents. They were standing next to each other, holding hands, smiling into the camera. It was their wedding picture. Storm smiled.
Something strange happened though; the picture seemed to dissolve from a wedding picture of his mother and father, to a wedding picture of his father and another woman.
"Aura!"
"What?" She came out wearing a pair of black pants and a black tee shirt, with a pair of combat boots.
"Look." Storm threw the picture towards her.
She looked at the picture; her mouth opening slightly as her face went from confused to shock. "Who the hell?"
"Houston, we have a problem."

Cubert walked around the lab looking through several of pieces of paper. He was taller, and somewhat leaner. His hair was long and tied into a ponytail in the back of his head.
He shook his head as he looked over various numbers on a blue piece of paper. He began walking around again when he was suddenly pushed down by an angry looking Aura.
"Ow." He said, staring at Aura in her combat persona. His eyes shifted to Storm who was wearing jeans and a black jacket with a white shirt under it.
"Hey Bert." Storm said, helping the man up to his feet.
"Hi Storm, hi Aura. I didn't expect to see you guys here."
"Yeah well, we have to talk to you father." Aura said walking into the kitchen and then the old employee lounge.
"The rodent told us that our futures are in jeopardy. You know how she is when it comes to mom and dad." Storm said, as he and Cubert watch Aura move from room to room.
"I can see. Aura, he's in the lab." Cubert said as Aura looked at him and then head straight to the lab. "Come on."
Storm followed Cubert into the lab. Aura was talking to a head in a jar.
"Come on… any little time invention." Aura slightly begged.
"Aura, you know that you mean the world to me, both you and Storm… but I don't have a time machine that I'm willing to let you use."
"Uncle Farnsworth! Please!" Aura slightly begged.
"Aura… please…" A bright light appeared in front of the small group. Nibbler walked out and smiled at the two siblings.
"Your mother and father are being pulled apart so that a woman who fell in love with your father can have him all to herself."
"…Um…"
"Some slut is after Dad in the past and she's tearing our parents apart." Aura said, looking at Storm.
"Who the hell would be after dad?" Storm asked, slightly disgusted.
"That girl from the picture." Aura took out the picture from the shoulder bag. Cubert and Nibbler looked at the picture, the girl didn't have purple hair and one eye, she was tall and slim with brown hair that was twisted up with amber eyes and rosy cheeks.
"Wow." Cubert and Nibbler said at the same time.
"She's NOT that pretty."
"She looks familiar… I just can't put my finger on it." Storm said looking at the brunette.
Aura was about to talk when she suddenly clutched her stomach. Storm was down in a matter of seconds after her.
"What the hell?" Cubert said going straight over to Aura.
"If the time stream stays disturbed there won't much longer be a Storm and Aura." Nibbler said, patting Storms head as he moaned in pain.
It lasted a few more minutes, until the pain seemed to disappear. Storm and Aura stayed on the floor looking at each other and then Cubert, Nibbler, and Farnsworth.
Farnsworth sighed.
"Fine… Cubert… go get the Time Warper. It's like a dog tag, thing and long, there's only one. You where it around your neck, hold the person's hand your traveling with you, type in the year you want to travel too, press the button, and off you go." Farnsworth explained quickly. Cubert came back with the dog tag type invention.
"And you couldn't give this to us in the first place because…" Aura asked looking over the invention.
"It's never been tested before. Only in theory." Aura slightly glared at the head in the jar.
"That's just super." Storm said looking at the invention.

"Well, it's up to you." Storm said sitting on the sofa in Aura's apartment.
"I don't know. I mean, we could get ourselves killed."
"Yeah but if we don't save mom and dad you're not going to exist anyway." Storm said.
"Ugh!" Aura said dropping the dog tag on the kitchen table and walking out to see her Brother looking at a picture of their parents, two individual pictures.
"It be nice to meet them." He sighed a bit. Aura looked at him and sat in the armchair.
"You'd get to talk to them, and get to know them." She smiled. "I'd be able to see them again."
"You could save them." Storm said, smiling.
"I guess we're doing it then. We're guinea pigs." Aura smiled and stood up. "I'll go call Farnsworth."
"Ok." Storm looked at the two pictures of his parents and smiled. "I guess I'll finally get to meet you guys."

Aura fidgeted in her sleep until a pounding came into her head. She bolted up and gently took hold of her stomach. She shook her head but the pounding continued. She got out of the bed and walked into the living room. Storm was dead asleep on the couch and the pounding seemed to get louder.
She went to the door in her teddy bear pajama's grabbing an umbrella from next to the door. She opened it slowly ready to hit whoever was mad enough to be out this late.
To her surprise, it wasn't a stranger.
He stood tall, with a beautiful smile and black hair that was slightly long in the front, giving him a boyish charm. He was muscular, wearing a brown suit, with flowers and a heart shaped box.
"Kerr?" She said, lowering the umbrella. "What are you doing here so late?"
"I wanted to bring you your flowers and candy from our no exist date tonight." He smiled, kissing her cheek softly. "Good luck on your trip tomorrow."
"Thanks." Aura blushed slightly and smiled. "I'm going to really miss you."
"I'm going to miss you too." He smiled. "You're only going to be gone for a few days."
"Yeah, I know." She smiled, slightly guilty on the inside.
"I'll see you when you get back. I love you." He kissed her softly.
"Love you too." She smiled.
"Tell Storm I hope he has fun as well."
"Ok." Aura stood in the doorway, the chill of the empty hallway reaching her spine. She pulled into the vast apartment, closing the large door, and leaned against it.
"It'll only be a couple of days." Storm said, rubbing his eyes.
"Hopefully." Aura said, shaking her head placing her presents on the table in the kitchen. "Aren't you worried about Darcy?"
"Nah, I told her that I had a job. She told me to be careful and not do anything stupid." Storm shrugged. "The benefits of a care-free, spirited woman as your girlfriend."
Aura nodded and smiled.
"Well, I guess we better get some kind of sleep. Who knows what tomorrow will bring." Aura walked into her bedroom.
"Hopefully the past." Storm said, laying back down, and rolling over, scenarios of the next morning running through his brain.

Aura and Storm stood in front of Farnsworth, Cubert, and Nibbler in the conference room. It was cleaner with more technology surrounding them. Aura stood, playing with her hair.
The shimmer purple hair that had a glow of slight red when in the sun. She was wearing a pair of black pants, her favorite combat boots, and a red tee shirt that had a pink rabbit on it. A pair of slick sunglasses covered her chestnut colored eyes. Her frown said it all.
Storm was standing next to her; his own purple/red hair pushed back, his sunglasses getting lost in it. He was wearing a pair of black jeans and a white long sleeved shirt. He had a black bubble vest over it with a pair of black boots. His chestnut eyes were clouded over by excitement and apprehension.
"Can we get the party started?" Aura asked, taking her black leather jacket from Cubert.
"Now Aura… it is not a time to rush. Just take it slow."
"Uncle Farnsworth… are we allowed to let them know who we are?" Storm asked.
Aura looked at Farnsworth, as did the rest of the group.
"In any other situation… I'd say no… but…maybe it be best to let them see what their future's hold. But be careful children."
"Before you leave, I ask that you have myself from the past erase their memories of you. It's better to leave some things a secret."
"We'll think about it." Aura said, the excitement of seeing her parents evident in her voice. Nibbler shook his head. The Professor cleared his throat.
"Ok! Hold hands." Aura and Storm looked at each other, and reluctantly took each other's hands. "Now, take the dog tag and gently type in 3-0-0-5, then gently press the little dog head. You'll be pulled into an invisible wormhole. Don't let go of each other's hand until you arrive to the time gates of 3005. You should be transported to Planet Express Delivery Service, exactly where you're standing now."
"Ok. We'll see you guys soon." Aura and Stormed smiled.
Aura gently plugged in the numbers, looked up and smiled at the Professor. "Let's see how this baby flies!" Gently, almost slowly, she pressed the dog icon on the tag.
The room went from warm to cold in a matter of seconds, as a burst of air hit the faces of Cubert, Nibbler, and the professor.
When their confused eyes opened Aura and Storm were gone.
"Think it worked?" Cubert asked, turning to his father.
"Only time will tell." Farnsworth said.
