Cindy, Kaitlin, and Robin ended up on the streets of what was New York City, but 1,000 years into the future. There were flying cars and floating people in tubes everywhere. The three girls looked around as they explored the sights.
"This is it, girls," Kaitlin smirked. "Our first real adventure together."
Cindy gulped. "Adventure... Yay..."
"Oh, come on, Cindy, loosen up a little!" Robin smiled. "This could be fun!"
"Yippee for us..." Cindy shuddered. "I miss my bed... Now, where would we find that Planet Express Crew place?"
Suddenly a flying ship flew over them. Kaitlin and Robin ducked down, but Cindy was pulled by a sail from her hood. Cindy screamed as she was flying away from her friends.
"CINDY!" Kaitlin and Robin called, then ran after the flying ship as it took their friend hostage.
Cindy screamed until a window rolled down to show a young man in his early 20's, wearing a red jacket, white shirt, blue pants, and spiky orange hair.
"Hey, keep it down, we're tryin' to fly a ship!"
Cindy blinked at him.
"Aw, great," the man sighed, then called inside. "Hey, Leela, we got another hitchhiker!"
"Push the green button to detatch them." a female voice told him.
"Check!" the man saluted, about to do just that. "See ya, kid!"
"Wait!" Cindy begged. "I'm here on a mission!"
The man stopped. "A mission, eh? Where'd you come from?"
Cindy handed her League ID.
"Whoa, you don't have a wristwatch computer or something?" the man asked, surprised. "You must be from the past!"
"Uh, yeah, I guess..." Cindy shrugged.
"I'm from the past!" the man smiled, patting himself. "I'm from 1999!"
"Really?" Cindy wondered if that was the truth or not.
"Take my hand, I'll help ya in." the man extended his right hand.
Cindy was nervous, but she accepted his hand and was pulled right through the window and now on solid ground that was the floor of the flying ship.
"Whoospie daisy," the man smiled. "Sorry about that, by the way, the name's Fry."
"Fry?" Cindy squinted her eyes.
"Philip J. Fry, but easy on that Philip J. stuff," the man told her. "Shouldn't you be learning the alphabet?"
"I'm 10-years-old." Cindy glanced at him for mistaking her for Kindergarten age.
"So? I didn't learn the alphabet until I was that age." Fry smiled with a shrug.
Cindy gave a glance, then shrugged.
"Fry, did you bring the hitchhiker on board?" a female voice asked as a woman with her purple hair tied in a high ponytail, wearing a white tank top, black pants, and boots, who was also driving the ship.
"She says she's on a mission." Fry told the woman.
"Guess I better meet her myself," the woman said, then put the ship on auto-pilot and walked over to meet Cindy. "Hello there, little one, I'm Turunga Leela, but you can call me Leela."
"Hi, I-" Cindy was about to introduce herself, but then noticed this woman had one, bulging, fairly noticeable eyeball looking right at her and it was very distracting. "I... I... I... I..."
"Yes, I do have one eye, good for you!" Leela congratulated, patting Cindy on the head.
"You're a... *gulp* ...A cyclops?" Cindy asked.
"I'm a sewer mutant, but yes," Leela explained. "You're not from around here, are you?"
"N-N-No, ma'am..." Cindy shuffled her foot. "I-I'm on a mission from my League back home. We have to go to Mars Vegas."
"Why?" Fry asked.
"My friends the Powerpuff Girls are being held hostage by someone's mom." Cindy said.
"Someone's mom?" Fry looked at her.
"She must mean 'Mom'." Leela replied.
"Mom?" Cindy looked back at the cyclops. "So... It's your mom?"
"No, dear, Mom's a horribly vile woman," Leela explained. "She owned a robot company and claimed to be warm and gentle, but she's just cold and bitter."
"A lot like my mom!" Fry piped up.
"And your friends are with her?" Leela then asked their guest.
"That's what I heard from Dexter anyway..." Cindy shrugged. "He asked me and my friends to come here and get them and defeat Mom... It's our first real mission together... Since we're rookies."
"Bummer." Fry commented.
"Our friend Amy is from Mars," Leela replied. "I'm sure we could get you and your friends there. We'll have a word with the Professor about this as soon as we get back."
Fry nodded in agreement.
"This feels like a weird sci-fi dream..." Cindy trembled.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it," Fry smiled. "I mean, just think, all your friends and family you used to know, all dead over a thousand years ago!"
Cindy sniffled at that and seemed to tear up.
"Oops..." Fry frowned.
Leela hugged Cindy. "Don't worry, you'll see your friends and family again since you're a time traveler."
"I hope I can do this mission..." Cindy sighed, looking already defeated. "Rejection is my worst nightmare next to failure..."
The Planet Express Crew ship then landed at the site they come to and from. Kaitlin and Robin panted as they caught up with the ship, but passed out. Leela, Fry, and Cindy came out of the ship.
"Cindy, thank goodness!" Robin sounded relieved, but still exhausted from running. "We were worried that you were eaten or something!"
"You lucky duck..." Kaitlin glared at Cindy, walking up to her. "You went and got yourself kidnapped! I wanted to be the one kidnapped and held at gunpoint!"
"Be my guest..." Cindy groaned to her rough and tough friend.
"Are these your friends?" Fry asked.
"Yes," Cindy then introduced. "This is Kaitlin and Robin, they're rookies too."
"Look, Leela, a fellow cyclops!" Fry pointed to the red-haired girl.
"Hey!" Kaitlin glared. "I am not a cyclops, it's these bangs!" she then waved her hair to show her other eye before it was suddenly covered again.
"Aww..." Fry frowned.
"Come on, you girls, we have to tell the professor you're here." Leela said as she walked ahead inside.
"There aren't any other monsters here, are there?" Cindy trembled slightly.
"Oh, relax, dear..." Leela looked back to her with a smile. "You should embrace your fears, especially if you're going to Mars Vegas."
"Well... I do like Vegas..." Cindy shrugged. "I go there all the time."
"It's true, she really does." Robin agreed.
"Oh, you'll love Mars Vegas," Leela smiled to Cindy then. "Casino games, poker games, lively entertainment..."
"That doesn't sound too bad..." Cindy smiled a little then.
Fry and Leela came in first as they led the three little girls in with them.
