Lost

Chapter 3: A Problem

The stats counter died. I had 2,000 hits for AWIYS. Oh, well.

Zapp heard a shout from outside the crashed escape pod. He was suddenly very happy. Although he didn't realize how dire his situation was, so he wasn't unhappy to begin with. Zapp stood up to seethe person he loved in front of him, "Hello my – oomph," was all he was able to say before Leela punched him in the stomach.

"How dare you try save me from a planet of no return?" she yelled. "I'd rather be stuck with everyone, even Zoidberg, than be saved by you."

"Uhhh, Leela," Kif cut in, "We had no idea that you were here. We were attacked and the Nimbus had to be evacuated. It blew up."

"Well that's good news," said the Professor, walking out of a bush. "There may be more wreckage we could salvage from the ocean now."

"Yeah Leela," Fry said, "I told you something good would come. We might be able to get off the island now."

"Of course. Now if you'll just finish the raft, we can go out to sea and get some food."

"We don't need food," Bender shouted out.

Everyone turned around to see what Bender was talking about. He had tied up Zoidberg and was trying to light a fire.

"Untie Zoidberg right now," Hermes shouted, coming out from the bush. Everyone was greatly surprised to see the bureaucrat care so much for Zoidberg. "I take that back," he continued, "Leave him tied up, I don't care, but I'm not going to eat the filthy scum."

Everyone agreed with Hermes, so they all turned around to get back to whatever they were doing. Zapp was following Leela around, Hermes was talking to Professor Farnsworth, and Zoidberg was tied up. This left Kif, Fry, and Bender to building the raft. Kif, being bossed around by Zapp all the time, was very skilled at survival skills, and the raft was back on track for being completed. But he wasn't focusing entirely on the raft; there was a question on his mind. Where was Amy?

Originally, Amy went hunting for fishing supplies with Hermes and the Professor. Yet it appeared that the Professor was supposed to be on some sort of medication. He kept on drifting in and out of sanity. After a while of going between helping and talking about the last time he was lost for all eternity, he wandered away from the group.

Hermes and Amy ran after the senile Professor, and miraculously, had found a thin, stringy type of leaf on a huge, red tree. It was near fifteen feet long, and would be great as string. Hermes went after the Professor and left Amy to gather supplies. It was hard work; the string was very tough and hard to pull off the tree. After a while, Amy gathered a sufficient amount of string. She headed back to the crash site.

As she drew closer, she was surprised to hear an argument going on. She recognized one of the voices as Leela's, but the other's was odd. It wasn't a Planet Express crewmember. She thought for a moment before she realized it. It was Zapp Brannigan's. And if Zapp was here, then that meant, "Kif!"

Kif had just finished the raft when he heard a voice behind him. He turned around to see a very happy Amy running towards him. She ran right up to him and kissed him.

"Awww," said Bender, "I wish I had my camera."

"Well," said Professor Farnsworth, "We might be able to get it back. Now that we have all of our supplies, we can build the raft and set out for WORLD DOMINATION!"

"You mean food and ship parts, right?" Leela asked.

The Professor screamed and ran into the forest. ""He's been doing that a lot recently," said Hermes. "I'll go get him."

"All right," Zapp said, "Me and Leela will go out to see, by ourselves to get the supplies. Everyone else, do something useful."

Leela elbowed him in the ribs. "Not happening," she said. "Fry, Bender, Kif and I will go. Zapp, Zoidberg, and Amy will wait for Hermes and the Professor."

Leela turned around to grab the supplies Amy dropped at the entrance to the Forest. But before she could reach them. She tripped over a root and fell.

"My leg!" she cried.

"I'm a doctor!" Zoidberg shouted, rushing over, somehow being untied. He looked at Leela for a minute before saying, "It's the flu."

Kif sighed and walked over to Leela. He took one glance and said, "It's broken. Fry, Bender and I will go fishing, you'll have to stay here."

Zapp made a sensual growl and Leela just groaned.
