Rated: T
At Planet Express the ship was being prepared for another mission. Leela was standing in the livng area looking with absolute annoyance at Fry and Bender sitting there, like slouching animals. Putting her hands on her hips she narrowed her single eye. "Don't you two ever do anything around here except sit, drink, and watch television?"she asked with a sigh in her voice. Bender brought the bottle of beer to his metallic mouth and poured the contents in and let out a loud burp. Fry put his arms behind his head and looked over at her with a calm smile. "C'mon Leela, I think we deserve down time" he replied placing his feet on the table and leaning back a bit. "Thats right we need to relax our tired muscles" Bender said chuckling. Leela let out a long sigh and was grateful when she heard the bell ringing at the door.
Leela walked to the door and pressed the button, the door hissing open. She was quite suprised to find Kif standing there, wringing his hands looking agitated. Leela took a step back to let him in before even asking why hes there. "Kif, what are you doing here?"she asked. Kif stood there rooted to the spot, his head bowed slightly. "I need your help. I...well...oh dear"he said and let himself be led inside. Leela wondered if this was about Amy, but she had a sinking feeling it was more then that. Leela led him to the conference table and had him sit down. Amy came out and looked at Leela "Who was at the..d-"she stopped when she saw Kif sitting at the table. Kif looked up at Amy but then down again. His feelings would never be the same after her sleeping with Zapp.
"I have come on behalf of the dumb ass. Be assured that he doesn't know that I have come for help. He wants me to help him in...in.."he started to say and let out a long, belabored sigh. He looked at Amy for a moment then back down again, the betrayel still lingering in his beady eyes. Amy opened her mouth to say something but the hesitation showed in her eyes. Leela saw this tension between the two and decided to speak up. "What does Zapp want from you? To shine his boots? Do your laundry?"she said in a drawn out voice.
Kif swallowed hard and shook his head. "No, those things I am used to doing. What he wants me to do is...oh geez his is embarrassing. He wants me to find him a girlfriend"he stuttered out, his shoulders slumping when he finished. Leela's first reaction was to laugh at such an absurd thing. Zapp was an absolute baffoon who had persued her and shouted from every corner of the universe that they have slept togather. Letting out a sigh she looked at the green alien sitting there and glanced at Amy who seemed to be bustling out of her skin, and Kif sitting there.
"And you want our help?" Leela asked calmly. "Yes, please" Kif begged, looking at Leela his lips forming a frown. "If we help you then Zapp would stop bothering me"she said outloud. Amy was watching Leela and Kif quietly, her eyes darting from one to another. Leela knew this would also mean that she would have to come in contact with Zapp again, this would challange her tolerance. Amy bit her lower lip "It wouldn't hurt, Leela"she said knowing the trouble that Zapp caused Kif on a daily basis. Tilting her head back she tossed her ponytail and looked at Kif with almost an expression of pity. Crossing her arms she let out a deep sigh.
"Alright I will help" Leela said after a long moment.
