The Love That Matters Forever

That night, Leela decided to stay with Fry, along with little Nibbler. In the bed, Fry's arm was wrapped around Leela's arms, as she held Nibbler in her arms. It was 9:56 a.m, and they didn't worry about sleeping in at work. Fry snored pretty loud, and it kinda woke himself up! Fry sat up, and rubbed his eyes. He saw Leela lay peacefully on his bed. He smiled at her, and wrapped her up in his blanket. After that, he kissed her on the forehead. Leela moved a little, but still didn't wake up. He couldn't wait for tonight-- Their date. Fry has tried so hard into going out with her, and he finally succeeded. He put on his trousers, and walked into the kitchen to make breakfast. He didn't want to wake Leela up, so he kept the skillet quiet.

In the room, Nibbler smelled the scent of bacon, and rushed into the kitchen. His jump and blabbing woke up Leela. She saw her little pet run into the kitchen. Leela sat up and stretched.

"Fry must be making breakfast," she thought.

She also heard a small tune inside the kitchen, almost like a romantic song. She followed the sound into the kitchen, which was a radio. It was playing a '80's song, "I Knew I Loved You" by Savage Garden. Fry's head moved to the beat of the song as it played. He started to hum it, as if he heard of it before. Leela liked the song, too. It was a soft, sweet beating to their hearts.

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

"The song is beautiful." Leela said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Leela? I didn't know you were up." Fry said.
"Yeah. Nibbler kinda woke me up. What song is this anyway?" Leela said.
"Oh, it's just a romantic song that I used to listen to back in the 20th Century. It's called, I Knew I Loved You." he replied.

"It sure is romantic, don't you think?" Leela asked.
"Sure is."

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

Listening to the beat of the music, they both moved their heads rhythmically. It started to get more beautiful every second.

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

Fry took both of Leela's hands, and gazed into her eye. She smiled as he did. The music that was playing kinda felt back a short memory of when he first met Leela. Before he saw her eye, he was getting a little interest in her. He took her hands in his. He was impressed with her skills, her talents, her beauty, everything. Fry knew that he was lucky to have her.

"Leela? ... This'll be our song." Fry said.
"... Of course." she said as she smiled again.

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

They leaned their heads toward each other until their lips met. Leela remembered a year ago, when she was back from her date from Chazz...

"Hey, Leela." Fry said as he handed Leela a white daisy. "I guess I got this for you."
"Oh, thank you." she said.

"You know Fry, I don't care if you're not the most important person in the universe. It just makes me feel happy to see you right now." Leela said as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Then I am the most important person in the universe..."

Chazz was such a big jerk. In fact, all the other guys she dated were jerks. But Fry... he may be impulsive and dumb, but that didn't mean he was different than any other human being. After that date, Leela realized loud and clear that she needed Fry. He was much more to her than she ever knew. They finally broke the kiss.

"Fry... When I look at you... it makes me think... You are the most important person in the universe... to me."

Fry smiled. He smiled like he never smiled before. Now, his love for her really has taken flight into his heart. He felt like Leela hugged his own heart, and made it recover from the heartbreaks he used to have. Fry didn't actually know how happy he was to have her...

He felt blessed.

Behind, Nibbler watched the whole thing. The creature also remembered that Fry would actually give up his whole life to save Leela. He thought that Fry would want to give up on the future later, but it seemed impossible. Because Leela was more than life itself to Fry.

"Oh, they're just so perfect together. It's hard to believe how those two can-" Nibbler thought, but was the interrupted by a beeping sound.

Nibbler ran back to the bedroom so Fry and Leela wouldn't hear. He looked into his cape to see a small communicator. On the screen was his Nibbilonian friends.

"Lord Nibbler? Are you there?" the female asked.
"I am now." Nibbler said.

"Good." the male Nibbilonian said. "We need you here on Eternium as soon as possible. Someone is blasting down planets from afar."

"Dear Lord." Nibbler gasped. "I'm on my way."

Nibbler put his commincator away and raced to the open window. Fry and Leela didn't notice him, so that gave Nibbler plenty of time to escape to the ally.

"Did you just hear Nibbler?" Leela asked.
"... Yeah, I guess."

"He probably went back to bed... I better take a shower. After work, you wanna walk Nibbler with me before our date?"

"Sure."
"Thanks."

She gave Fry a kiss on the cheek, and went to take a shower. Fry knew that in his entire lifetime he would never get tired of Leela. Ever. He thought about Lily. He couldn't wait to see her again. Only, in real life.

Maybe tonight...

After their mission to the planet Sigma 2013, at 5:46 p.m, Fry and Leela went back to the apartment, hoping to find Nibbler there. They checked the bed, but the furry creature wasn't sleeping on it. He wasn't in any other room. The doors were locked and the windows were closed. They wondered how he could have escaped.

"Nibbler?" Leela called.
"Nibbler? Where are ya?" Fry asked.
"He's not in the kitchen. In fact, he hasn't made a mess in here since we left." Leela said.
"He probably isn't here."
"Oh, Fry. I'm worried..."
"Don't be. We'll find him, Leela. Don't worry." Fry said as he put his hands on her shoulders.

In his tiny spaceship, Nibbler flew many distances to the planet Eternium. He finally made it to the adorable planet he called home. He rushed inside to where is Nibbilonian friends sat on their chairs.

"Welcome back, Lord Nibbler." the male Nibbilonian said.
"Apparently. What's this urgensy you told me?"

"Well, a foolish pilot is embarking in space to destroy many planets that sets his mind. His ship is unidentified, but our assistants notified him as ZDoo." the female said.

"ZDoo? What in the world is that species?" Nibbler asked.
"Human. But for some reason, he claims to have a problem with a disturbing position." the male said.
"On our research to identify him, we found this." the female said as she handed Nibbler a Baggy.

Inside the Baggy was an empty bottle of Whisky. Nibbler didn't know anyone who actually drunk whiskey. Whoever did it must have been pretty upset about something, he could tell.

"Did you identify the person who drank this by the saliva?"
"Yes. But it seems that someone else drank this, who however mustn't have been the culprit." the female said.

They all heard a belching sound. They all turned to the right to see a Nibblonian moving to and fro from his seat, looking drunk.

"What? Some Nibbs gotta have feelin's too, until you... until you smack the turkey leg..." he said.

He fell headfirst on the floor, out of his chair, and fell asleep.

"No sody's gotta tank jook from us... see what make me be like see... I'm Mr. Weenie..." the Nibblonian snored in a squeaky voice.

"... Ok-ay... So, what can we do about it? All we do is represent how those foolish brains can make Earth stupid." Nibbler said.

"Maybe so. But we might need to require help. Do you still have Fry and Leela with you?" the male asked.
"Of course. They should figure out who this culprit is. But it seems that it might make their relationship go unprepared."

"What do you mean?" the female asked.
"Well, they are about to have a baby soon, and... I'm not sure if they can put through this..." Nibbler said.

"They will. We know about the baby as well. Believe it or not, but we were the ones who put in that future puddle in for them. But you see, this will help them find out more about their relationship. I know it. Without their help, Earth will be destroyed."

"But... But, they've got a date tonight." Nibbler said.
"Not to worry. The culprit might come to then sooner than you think. That way, Fry and Leela will have plenty of time to be together." the male said.

"You will have plenty of time to tell them. But be sure to tell them after their date tonight. And make sure nothing happens to them that could affect this mission." the female said.

"I will." Nibbler said.
"Good luck, Lord Nibbler."

Fry and Leela searched outside for hours searching for their beloved pet.

"Nibbler!" Leela exclaimed.
"Nibbler!" Fry exclaimed as well.
"Here boy!" Leela exclaimed.

They passed the alley, where Nibbler hid his spaceship. His uniform was off, and he put on his original cape. He heard his owner's voice, and ran out the open space, babbling, running towards Fry and Leela.

"Nibbler?" Leela asked as she turned around. "Nibbler!"

Nibbler jumped right into Leela's arms as she hugged him. Fry was right behind her, petting his head.

"Where were you, Nibbler?" Fry asked.
"We were so worried about you." Leela said.

"You have no need to be worried soon enough..." Nibbler thought.
