Yo!
This fanfic is about the possibility of Leela having a sister that Morris and Munda (Leela's parents) never told her about named Mia. For the purpose of this story, all the crew members are 18 years old, and Mia is 16. Mia basically looks like Leela, only she has purplish-red hair that goes down to her shoulders that she likes to leave down (her hair is also naturally wavy, while Leela's is naturally straight, as you probably already know) and is prettier than Leela.
Anywayz, YES, I WILL CONTINUE LOVE IS FOWL, I JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT A GOOD CHAPTER IDEA!

".....and that was how the Planet Express Crew saved Omicron Persei 8's rulers from the killbots of Chapek 9! Back to you Morbo!"
"Morbo found that news report sweet, but BORING! WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE JUST LET THE KILLBOTS KILL WHO THEY WANT?"
"*ahaha* and that's the news for tonight! Coming up next, All My Circuits!"
I shut the TV off and thumped onto my bed. I turned my body so that I was staring at the newspaper clipping on the wall. I didn't need to read the article anymore; I had memorized its summary by heart.
The Planet Express Crew has done it again! They have saved the world from the gigantic asteroid of garbage that was going to destroy Earth by sending ANOTHER ASTEROID OF GARBAGE! Who would've thought?
Beside the writing was a picture of my hero, Leela, who was holding up a medal for her achievement. This caused a tear to slide down my cheek. I would never be able to meet her, being a sewer mutant and all. And as I knew very well, mutants are never allowed on the surface.
But tonight, I was going to change that. I was going to escape to the surface, find Leela and get a job at Planet Express. It wouldn't be too hard to find her! RIGHT?
"Mia! Dinner!" my mom called out, breaking me out of my thoughts.
"COMING!" I yelled back.
--------------------------------------------------------
"So, dear, how was school today?" Mom asked.
"Fine," I mumbled.
"Are you sure? You've barely touched your dinner."
"MOM! I've told you, I'm fine!"
Mom reached up and used one of her tentacles to stroke my hair.
"Aww, Mia. Tell me what's going on!"
I shove the tentacle off my hair.
"Nothing MOM! I'm just having a bad day, alright?" I yelled. 'I'm going to my room!"
"We love you honey!" my parents called out.
I was glad my back was to them so they wouldn't see me cry.
I ran up the stairs and shut the door softly.
"I love you too Mom and Dad," I whispered as the door shut.
I made sure to quickly pack all my clothes into a worn duffel bag that had floated by my house a few months ago. I didn't want to know how it could fit down a toilet and not clog it. As fast as I could, I threw in some graphic tees, three pairs of jeans, and two extra pairs of shoes, some PJs and my iPod. I slipped off the outfit I was wearing (a v-neck long tee that could be worn with a belt and skinny jeans), shoved THAT into the bag and made sure to pull out the outfit I was gonna wear for my "escape". It was a completely black hoodie with black jeans, so I could not be noticed amidst the darkness on the surface. I pulled that on, zipped up my bag and opened the window.
"Goodbye everyone!" I muttered. "See ya on the surface!"
With that last remark, I jumped out the window and ran off to the manhole that would lead me to the surface, and ultimately, freedom.
------------------------------------------------------
"Dammit! Nobody told me slipping the manhole off was this hard!" I grumbled as I slid the manhole cover off. I peered up in awe at the many stars in something I had never seen before: a sky.
I clamoured myself onto the road and shut the manhole quickly, my bag attached to my back.
I looked at the newspaper article that I had taken off my wall. I put my hood up so no one could see my one eye, then started to walk away from the manhole, in hopes I would find someone who knew where Leela lived.
I had only taken a few steps when something hit me from the side with such force that I was knocked over. As I lay on my side, I watched as a silver robot sped past me, my duffel bag in its hand. I tried to fight the dizziness I was now seeing as I got up. I made sure to watch where the robot went before I chased after them.
"We" had gotten as far as an alleyway when the robot suddenly put my bag down and started rummaging through it. My body pressed against the cold wall, I hid amongst the shadows and watched.
"C'mon! C'mon! You've GOT to having something that will get me at LEAST twenty bucks at the pawn shop!" I heard the robot mutter. I noticed that it was a he, and kinda...well...SMEXY. I tried not to yell as he ripped the clothes out of my bag, throwing them everywhere. After a few minutes, he finally found what I was dreading: my iPod.
"HAHAHA, PAY DIRT!" he muttered with an evil grin as he put it into his chest cavity.
I couldn't stand it any longer.
"STOP, YOU FUCKING THEIF!" I screamed as I jumped into the dim light of the streetlamp. The robot's eyes went wide in shock before he quickly shoved everything back into the bag, zipped it up and threw it over his shoulder before he ran off.
"COME BACK HERE!" I screamed before I ran after him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I leaned against the side of a building as I tried to catch my breath. I had followed the robot up to an apartment called Robot Arms, but he had ducked in and slammed the door so fast that I couldn't see where he went in the complex.
"Heya babe! What's a girl like you doing out on a night like this?" a voice asked from the darkness.
My heart started thudding in my chest, but I put up a brave front.
"Come into the light and show me your face, otherwise I won't answer!" I said seductively, my hood still covering my face.
"Ohh, fiery! I like that!" the voice purred before stepping into the light. It was a guy not much older than me with blond hair and the starts of a beer-belly. He was wearing a tight red shirt and tight jeans, neither of which looked any good on him.
"Come closer you hot stud!" I purred back. As soon as he got close enough, I punched him in the face and spat on it.
"That's for trying to take advantage of me, you bastard!" I whispered before I ran into the apartment.
I decided to knock on the first door I saw, hoping that the robot living there would know who the robot who stole my duffel bag was.
I tried not to stare as a sleek fembot opened the door, her hair just falling into her face, which was a scowl at the moment.
"What do you want?" a musical voice hissed. "You're interrupting my romantic evening with my boyfriend!"
"Uh....do you know where a certain robot lives? Silver-coated, tall, attractive for a robot, standard bending-unit?" I asked nervously.
I was surprised when she smiled genuinely. "Oh, you're looking for Bender? He's on the 11th floor, room 1101! You can't miss it!"
"Umm, thanks!" I said in surprise.
"You're welcome! By the way, tell Bender than Danni says hi!" the fembot said with a wink as she closed the door.
"Well well well, looks like the thief is also a manwhore!" I muttered as I walked into the elevator.
-------------------------------------------
I walked up to the door, which was surprisingly unlocked. I strolled in, only to hear voices coming from a room in the apartment. I pressed myself against the nearest wall and peeked in.
First, this "Bender" walked in, holding a beer in one of his hands and smoking a cigar. I tried not to gasp when I saw the cute face (not to mention orange hair) of a young man who looked not much older than 18.
"Ooooo Fry, you'll never guess what I did today!" Bender said with glee.
"Slept with some hookerbots? Smoked 10 cigars in a row? Watched an All My Circuits rerun?" Fry offered with a smile that for an odd reason made my heart start thudding again, only this time in a good way.
"No, NO and I WAS GOING TO WATCH IT, I JUST DIDN'T HAVE TIME!"
"So what DID you do? Rob an old lady?" Fry teased.
"FRY! YOU KNOW I WOULD NEVER SINK THAT LOW! I mugged a mutant just coming out to the surface, alright?" Bender yelled.
"You WHAT?" Fry practically screamed.
At that same moment, my leg fell asleep, which caused me to lose my balance and fall right into the apartment.
"NO WAY! NO FRICKIN' WAY!" Bender screamed. "YOU FOLLOWED ME HOME?"
I slowly got up, my head swimming from the fall.
"Yes, I followed you home, BENDER. Now, I want my iPod back. We can either do this the easy way or the hard way!" I snarled. I watched out of the corner of my eye as Fry backed away into another room, then shut the door. Probably scared about what could happen next.
"Which way do you prefer?"
"Well, the easy way would be nice, no bloodshed, no damage to the apartment. But for some odd reason, I want you to say the hard way, so I can feel the pure joy of denting your head until you have a system error!" I said with an evil grin.
I thought Bender would respond just as evilly or even toss me back the iPod to save the trouble, but what he DID do totally shocked me.
In the blink of an eye, he practically ran over to me and pressed his cold mouthpiece against my lips. Little sparks flew from his mouth into mine, which surprisingly didn't hurt. In fact, they felt NICE. My heart for some reason wanted this to continue, but my mind overpowered it. I still needed to get my iPod back and find Leela. As deviously as possible, I took my iPod back and slipped it into my jean pocket.
I pushed Bender away, which caused a stream of electricity to go from my mouth to his (A/N: Sort of like when two people make out and sometimes cause a string of drool to be produced between the two mouths when they pull away). I slapped him so hard that it caused his head to do a full spin, and then kicked him so that he fell down. My bag flew from the crook of his arm across the room.
"Ha-ha! Thought you could trick ol' Bender huh? Well looks like....HEY? WHAT ARE DOING WITH THAT MAGNET?"
"Giving you the system error you DEFINTIELY deserve!" I hissed as I placed a magnetic bowtie on his forehead I had found lying around in the apartment.
His eyes suddenly went wonky, then he started to belt out singing, "I've been stealing from alllllll myyyyy friends, all the godamn day, I've been sleeping with hoooooookerbottttttttts, who let me have my way!"
I shuddered a little as I picked up my bag and walked into the room where Fry was hidden. I knocked.
"Hello? Are you still in there, Fry?" I called out as Bender started singing some twisted version of Home on The Range.
"Yes!" Fry called back. "Is everything fine out there?"
"Yep! Bender's having a mental breakdown, but hey, that's his issue, not ours!"
Fry opened the door slowly, and then stepped into the main room.
"Oh great! You stuck a magnet to his forehead! Now he'll NEVER stop singing folk songs!"
"His issue!" I chuckled.
"Yah, I guess you're right.....by the way, hi, I'm Fry!" he said.
"Mia," I replied simply as we shook hands. I tried not to blush as he looked at me.
"Mia, can you remove your hood?"
My brain was screaming at the top of its lungs, NOOOOOO, but my heart thought otherwise. I slowly pulled back my hood, revealing my one eye and purplish-red hair. I thought Fry would scream and run back into the room, but instead he used a finger to prop my chin up and started inspecting my face.
"Hmmm....so you're a sewer mutant?" Fry suddenly asked.
"Yah..."
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"Why are you asking?"
"You look like someone I know who came from the sewers too...."
My heart was pounding with excitement.
"Turanga Leela?" I asked, looking at him dead on.
"How did you.....?" he began to say.
"Know? I'm her sister."
He let go of my chin and looked at me open-mouthed.
"S-s-s-sis-sis...." he tried to say, but he was too shocked.
"So can you help me find her or what?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Well, this is her apartment! Do you want me to stay, or should I leave you two alone?" Fry asked sincerely.
"Your choice Fry."
"I think I'll go!"
I was surprised when he hugged me tightly out of the blue, then walked off to his apartment on the other side of town.
"Fry?' I called out suddenly.
"Yah?" he asked as he turned back around.
"Maybe you should stay....you know, to help me convince Leela."
"Um, ok....." he said uncertainly as he walked up to me.
I took a deep breath, followed by me knocking on the door, Fry standing beside me. The door was opened slowly as a bleary eye looked around the door at me.
"Hello?" a female voice said as the person stifled a yawn. "Fry? Is that you?"
"yep, Leela. I have someone I think you will want to meet!" he said with a wide goofy grin.
"AT THIS HOUR?"
"Yeah, sorry 'bout the timing! It's just that...well, open the door and you'll find out!" Fry said impatiently.
"Fine....."
I pulled back my hood just as she opened the door. Leela's mouth fell right open in shock.
"W-who are you?" she stammered.
"Mia. Your sister."
I thought she would just slam the door in my face, but instead of asking any questions, she just pulled me into a hug.
"A sister....." she murmured as she continued to hug me.
"Um, don't you want to ask me any questions, like proof that I am your sister?"
"The proof is on your wrist."
I noticed for the first time that my sleeve had pushed up; revealing the bracelet my parents had given to me when I was born.
"Oh....."
Leela let me go at an arms length, then looked me over.
"So, let me guess: Morris and Munda revealed I was your sister, so you began to idolize me. You then wanted to get a job at Planet Express so you could be here with me."
"How...." I asked, confused.
"I kinda figured it out after you said I am your sister!" Leela said with a smile. "So, do want the job or what?"
