My Dance of Eternity
Fry and Leela stood in the middle of the stadium. They were quite nervous that the final song was a slow song. They had to dance into this bright song until it was over. Neither of them complained in their thoughts, they were going to get through with this.
"All right people! This is gonna be our last song until time to go! So grab a loving partner and dance! Dance! Dance!" the professor exclaimed on the microphone.
He put on the bright slow song. Sweetly, he said,
"So enjoy the bright rhythm of Mark Anthony and Jessica Simpson."
Nervously, Fry put his hands on Leela's waist, as she put her hands around his neck. Then, with the music starting, they began to dance.
They were both staring into each other's eyes many times that they forgot of where they were dancing. But they didn't care. For a while, Fry and Leela started to enjoy the moment. So they relaxed and continued dancing. Bender watched the two dance the night away. For the first time, he kind of felt happy for his friend that he would finally dance with Leela.
I was counting down the minutes
I was wishing on the stars
I was praying for a sign
And trying to beat the odds
I was dreaming of you
From before I saw your face
And there you were
Waiting for that day
Then you reached through the
hurricane
When
you baby you called my name
Fry and Leela were more than silent, they were staring into each other's thoughts.
"So... they're putting a lot of
Jessica Simpson songs." Fry said.
"Well, they are romance songs. And
you know that she's in love." Leela said.
"Yeah, I guess... and so am I."
"You are? Wow. With who?"
Leela asked.
"... Leela, I think I'm ready to
tell you. Right now. Starting with what I'm about to give you."
You broke through the storm
And you turned back the night
Baby you are the fire
Burning the midnight sky
And your love
Keeps taking me higher
Just when all hope was gone
Where the hero belongs...
There you were
"What is it?" Leela asked as
Fry reached into his pocket.
"Leela. This is for you." Fry
said as he gave Leela the velvet case.
Leela held it and slowly opened it. She saw the beautiful pendant that said 'My Love'. It made her bring tears to her eye. The turquoise pendant shined in the light from the ceiling.
"Fry... it... it's so beautiful.
Where did you get this?" Leela asked.
"The leader of Zeta 23.6 gave it
to me. He was gonna give it to his girlfriend, but he said that it
was right for me to give it to you."
"... You didn't have to do
this..."
"But I wanted to. I wanted to show
you how I really feel."
Must have broken into heaven
Just to roll back the clouds
Were you on a mission
Were you seeking me out
Was I that one in a million
Was I that one sacred kiss
That you couldn't chance
You just couldn't miss
Then you babe you whispered through
the silent tears
When
you, you swept away all my fears
Leela took the pendant out of the case and put it around her neck. Fry thought she was beautiful with the pendant.
"Thank you Fry. Very much."
Leela said.
"Your welcome. But Leela, there's
something else I need to tell you. And it's very important." Fry
replied.
"What is it?"
"Leela..." Fry took Leela's
right hand into both his hands.
"I love you."
You broke through the storm
And you turned back the night
Baby you are the fire
Burning the midnight sky
And your love
Keeps taking me higher
Just when all hope was gone
Where the hero belongs...
There
you were babe
"... Y-You do?"
"Yes. More than anything else in
the world."
Bender heard this moment. He was quite surprised.
"Wow. That was easy." he said.
Leela put her hands on Fry's shoulders, moved her head closer to his, and kissed him. Fry's eyes were wide open. But he ignored that and kissed along with her. Her kiss was a sign to him that she loved him too. Their kiss lasted for quite a while.
Standing in the middle of nowhere,
With your arms wide open and you,
You were the reason when there was
no reason in my life
You're
the reason in my life
In the background, they heard people clapping and cheering. They broke the kiss and looked to see who they were clapping at.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, let's give a big cheer to the dances' most beautiful couple, Fry and Leela!" Bender said through the microphone. He finally had his body repaired, so he had no trouble bouncing over to the DJ with no body.
Fry and Leela were both amazed at this, and smiled. Bender walked down the stadium with the microphone and stood in front of the two couple.
"Fry, you have anything to say to the rest of the partygoers here?" Bender asked.
"Yeah. I couldn't have been here dancing, partying, having the time of my life... without Leela. She's the meaning in my life that I could never forget. If anything happened to her I would have killed myself, just to keep her safe. I love Leela with all my heart and soul. And if I didn't, I wouldn't be with her right now. I love you Leela. And I always will until the day I die." Fry said.
You broke through the storm
And you turned back the night
Baby you are the fire
Burning the midnight sky
And your love
Keeps taking me higher
Just when all hope was gone
There
you were babe
Leela's eye was flowing with tears. Fry would always be there for her. And she would never leave his sight for even a minute.
"Beautiful Fry. You have anything to say Leela?" Bender asked.
"Yes, I do. I'm glad that Fry said all those wonderful things to me. Back then, he tried to impress me with everything that he could. But I wouldn't give him a chance. But now I gave him a chance into becoming my partner for this dance, and I'm more than happy to give him a chance at everything. Fry has always loved me, and I never saw that. Until today, I love him as much as he loves me; more than I'll ever know." Leela said.
After that, Fry and Leela gave each other a wondrous hug. Everyone started to cheer and clap at their sweet romance that they possess.
You broke through the storm
And you turned back the night
Baby you are the fire
Burning the midnight sky
And your love
Keeps taking me higher
Just when all hope was gone
Where the hero belongs...
There
you were
"Great as life can be. You both have anything to say to each other?" Bender asked.
Fry and Leela looked at each other. Then they both nodded.
"I love you." they both said.
"With all my heart." Fry
said.
"With all my soul." Leela
said.
"With everything that I am." Fry and Leela both said. Then they kissed.
Everyone was so happy too see both Fry and Leela get together at last. And their love only took two things: a confession, and a small, turquoise pendant.
Like the light in the eye of the
storm
Telling me not to cry anymore
There you were
Where I watched my whole world fall
apart
Shining through like on angel from
afar
Oh like an angel...
"And that's the story of how Fry and Leela got together. You guys impressed?" asked Meadow.
"That was beautiful!" her
sister said.
"But how can you remember all
of those things at once?" Bryant asked
"It is always better not
knowing Bryant." Meadow said as she stared up at Earth.
"It's always better not knowing."
THE END
