Title:Angels

By:Cerulean Shadow

Summary:What would have really happened while Leela was in that coma in that episode, "The Sting"?


Author's Note: I put in that song 'Angels' by Jessica Simpson in here. It is in small parts of the fanfic, but that's the way the story is in my imagination.

Hours passed. Fry still never left Leela's side. He hoped that she could still hear him even if she was asleep. He wanted to talk to her. He wanted to wake her up. But he knew that the coma could be even longer.

"Hey Leela? There was a surprise for you in my locker. I got it in a swedish novelty shop before we left." he said.

We wished he could have the gift, but he knew she wouldn't open it in a time like this. He thought that if he told her about the gift, it would keep her mind together of what happened.

"I wish I could give you the gift. But there's just one thing to do- I want you to wake up."

I sit and wait,
Does an angel contemplate my fate and do they know,
The places where we go when we're grey and old,
'Cos I've been told that salvation lets their wings unfold,
So when I'm lying in my bed thoughts running through my head,
And I feel that love is dead I'm loving angels instead,


"Fry, no offence. But you've gotta eat something!" Amy exclaimed.
"I don't need to."

"Fry, I hate to break this up to you in a time like this. But... the doctor said that Leela might never wake up."

"What! No! She will wake up! Shehas too! She can survive things like this! Just, just... give her a little more time!"

"Fry, calm down, I-"

"You don't know how much I want her to wake up! I'll do anything! Anything! Anything, just to wake her up.

"... Fry, what you're doing is, sorta crazy, but sweet. You may want to starve to be by her side, but you need to face it. Leela might not wake up for a long time."

"... You're wrong! Leela will wake up soon! Maybe not today, but soon! I know she will! She's strong enough to do these things! I know she is!"

"... Maybe you're right. I better leave you alone. But, just in case you need something to eat, tell me. 'Cause I'm worried about you."

"Don't be. I'm just worried about Leela." Fry said as Amy left the room.
"And I always will be."

And through it all he offers me protection a lot of love and affection,
Whether I'm right or wrong,
and down the waterfall,
Wherever it may take me I know that life won't break me,
When I come to call he won't forsake me,
I'm loving angels instead,

When I'm feeling weak and my pain walks down a one way street,
I look above,
And I know I'll always be blessed with love,


Fry's direction was always towards Leela. No matter what, he didn't take any chances of leaving her. His love for her was right beside her. And he's wishing that she would know that. He's loved her for so long, but hasn't gotten the chance to tell her. He tried saving her from that baby queen, but he was particularly putting himself in danger. But he would rather put himself in that kind of danger just to let Leela live. He spotted her shaking in her sleep.

"Here's my jacket. You look a little cold," Fry said as he put his jacket around Leela's shoulders. "I hope you wake up sometime. Everyone is scared into thinking you will never wake up. Even me. Amy told me that the doctor said that you would never wake up. But I know you will. You can survive everything. And you can prove it. All you have to do is wake up."

And as the feeling grows,
He breathes flesh to my bones and when love is dead,
I'm loving angels instead,


And through it all he offers me protection a lot of love and affection,
Whether I'm right or wrong,
and down the waterfall,
Wherever it may take me I know that life won't break me,
When I come to call he won't forsake me,
I'm loving angels instead,


Fry fell asleep next to his friend. His head was spinning in his dream. Around and around over and over. All the colors he could ever discover was in his dream, spinning like a random. Fry had no idea what was going on. It started to spin faster and faster, making him dizzy. He finally found out- he was heading towards the center! Everytime he even flew to the end sides of the random, it started to sting him like the bee stung him. It hurt even worse when he reached to the core. As he touched it with his finger tips, a huge blast of purple and blue horizon came. He was halfly scared, but he thought about Leela. Where was she? Is she okay? Is this a dream? Or a nightmare?

"Leela..." he whispered.

Then the horizon reached in his soul. It was his life and death path.

Then he woke up.

I'm loving angels instead,
And through it all he offers me protection a lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong,
and down the waterfall,
Wherever it may take me I know that life won't break me,
When I come to call he won't forsake me,
I'm loving angels instead.

"I don't know if you can hear me Leela, but there's something I wanna tell you- I-I love you. So, for me, just wake up Leela. Please, just wake up." Fry said.


"Just wake up Leela, please... just wake up..." Fry said in tears.

Then Leela started moving her head. She opened her eye! She looked around the room to see who was causing the sobs. She looked to the left side of her bed. She saw Fry crying on his bended knees. His face wasn't shaved, and his hair was completely disheveled.

"Fry... you're alive!" she said.
"Leela! You're awake!"
"Of course I'm awake, you wouldn't stop waking me. Where am I?"
"In the hospital. The ambulance took you here after the bee stung you."
"But the bee stung you! It barely touched me!"

Fry raised his shirt up to let Leela see his bandage.

"The stinger went right through me and you got all the poison." he explained."My new spleen came from a guy who rode the motorcycle."

Then he lowered his shirt and started imatating a motorcycle engine. Just then, the rest of the crew walked in the room.

"She's awake!" Hermes exclaimed as the rest of the crew started cheering.

"You were in the best coma I've ever seen!" Bender also exclaimed.
"The doctor said you never wake up." Amy said.
"Really? How long was I out?" Leela asked.
"Two weeks. Fry never left your side for a minute." she continued.
"And he talked non-stop. Like the parrot of the sea he was!" Dr. Zoidberg said.

"I thought maybe if you heard a familiar voice, it might help keep your mind together. But, who knows if it really got through." Fry said to Leela.

"It got through Fry." she said.

They both reached for each other and hugged. Fry and Leela never have been happy to hold each other after two long weeks. Fry rubbed her back as she spoke.

"It got through."
