My Dance Of Eternity


CHAPTER 2

After Bryant gave Fry the necklace, Fry returned to the Planet Express Ship. He hid the pendant in his pocket so Leela or Bender wouldn't see it.

"Did you deliver the package?" Leela asked.
"Yep." Fry replied.

"Did you get to see what was in it? 'Cause you know we're dying to see what's in there. Well, not technically but-" Bender said.

"No, I didn't. But I bet it was something very special."
"Bite my shiny metal ass! It's just cellophane! What's the deal about that?" Bender exclaimed.

"Shut up, you two. We're going home." Leela said.

After their complaints, The Planet Express Ship took off. Fry was still a little surprised that he received the necklace to give to Leela. But it taunt him. He cant just walk up to her and give her the necklace! He had to think of something that could easily get the attention of the girl he desperately loves.


"So how was your trip?" Hermes Conrad asked the three deliverers. "The usual." Fry said.
"Nothing new." Leela said.
"Whatever floats your boat." Bender said.

"Well, good enough. Now and days, maybe you can assist me on tackling the hungry, man eating anteaters." Hermes said.

"Thanks Hermes, but we're kinda tired. You know, above all the delivering we've been through." Leela said.

"But it was just one trip!" Hermes exclaimed.
"We don't care. We're just lazy." Bender said.

After Leela and Bender left the living room, Fry walked up to Hermes.

"Hermes, that trip was special. The leader gave me this necklace even though I was supposed to give it to him." Fry said as he pulled out the pendant from the pocket of his jacket.

Hermes took it in his right hand and examined the golden pendant up close and personal. He was quite impressed with the gift.

"Hmm... this is mighty fancy. Why would the leader of Zeta 23.6 give you this pendant?"
"Long story. I'll explain it to you in the closet."

As they got in the closet, Fry told Hermes everything he needed to know about the trip. Hermes thought for a moment about what he has been told.

"Unusual story. And yet... so hard to believe-"
"You gotta believe me Hermes!"
"Okay, okay. I believe you mon. Now, why didn't you tell Leela and Bender?"

"That's the point! I'm going to give this pendant to Leela! But I can't just give it to her just like that, Hermes. What am I going to do now?" Fry asked.

"Hmm... well, I do recall getting this poster yesterday." Hermes said as he pulled out a poster. It said:

"A reunion dance? Are you saying I should take Leela as my partner?" Fry asked.

"Yes. And maybe you should give her the pendant when you reach for the slow dance. That way, it wouldn't get out of hand." Hermes explained.

"Excellent! I can finally do this! I can finally show Leela how I feel about her!" Fry cheered as he clutched the poster with his two hands. Then he heard knocking at the door.

"Hurry up in there! Zoidberg's got to go too, he does!" Zoidberg yelled from outside.

"Oh that reminds me, Fry." Hermes said. "You still have to help me on those man eating anteaters."

"Uh... maybe later. I've got business." Fry said as he rushed out of the closet.
"Get out of the closet Hermes! I've got business myself." Zoidberg said.
