The Lily and Brandon Chronicles
THE BIOGRAPHY OF LILY AND BRANDON
Lily- Lily has two eyes, long, curly orange hair with purple streaks and bangs like Leela's, a pink tank top with a peace sign, blue jeans, and white tennis shoes. She loves to sing, and spend lots of time with her father. Her father and her are extremely close, more than anybody knows. She's nice to animals, but not a true fan of her brother. She likes to tease and torment her brother, but he can't stop loving her. She's got two friends at school named Nicole and Kia. Like she is with her father, she loves to be near her Uncle Bender, which is the only time she likes her brother.
Brandon- Brandon has one eye, purple hair with orange streaks and bangs like Fry's, a red T-shirt, blue pants, and white sneakers. He loves to play with his pet turtle, Matt, and to hang out with his sister, Lily. He has no idea that she always torments him, but focuses on her. He's like a troublemaker, but only with his Uncle Bender. He's never ashamed of his one eye, and spends lots of time with his mother. He's got a friend named Standler, who is technically, a robot. He likes girls, but is always idolized by Kia, Lily's friend, which apparently he likes as well.
Together, they'll face obstacles like never before, in the face of the future.
CHAPTER 4: The Kidnapped Paige
Late in the morning, Leela woke up, feeling very sleepy. She realized the birth was over, and felt so happy about it. She rested against the pillows for a few minutes, until she heard a door open. In the door came Lily and Brandon, running towards their tired mother.
"Mommy! You did it!" Lily exclaimed."Awesome!" Brandon exclaimed as he and his sister hugged her.
"Hey, take it easy, kids. Your mother just gave birth." Fry's voice said to the kids as he walked in.
"It's okay, Fry. It was just overnight." Leela said as she hugged him. "Did you get to see her?"
"No, not yet. The doctors kept on running tests to her, and the results wont be until--" Fry began until the doctors walked in the room. "Oh, nevermind."
There were two human doctors, as well as Dr. Zoidberg. They looked at the family real sadly, until the first doctor, Dr. Finn, calmly said to the two kids,
"Hey, Lily, Brandon? Can me and your parents talk in private?""Okay. Come on, Brandon. Maybe you can help me get the SnickersWickers3000 out of the vending machine." Lily said.
"I can? At last! I'm helping! Helping my sister!" Brandon cheered as he walked out of the room with his sister.
"You're buying."
"Crap-o-rama!"
As soon as the kids walked out of the room, that just left the parents and doctors alone. Surely it has something to do with the baby. But what, exactly?
"What's going on?" Leela asked.
"... Miss Leela? Late at night, our nurse found out, that while you were giving birth, your baby had extreme and minor difficulties, which resulted to the upcoming labor." Dr. Halloway said.
"What kind of difficulties?" Fry asked."... Mr and Mrs Fry? I'm sorry..." Dr. Halloway began.
Fry and Leela didn't like the sound of that. And they sure didn't like the words that were about to come up next...
"But your baby was stillborn."
Stillborn? Stillborn, what, is this doctor crazy? Paige just had some minor breathing problems. That's all! But how could that be? How can that be? What was going on?
"... What? B-B-But how?" Leela asked."We detected most signs of drug options, plus multiple bacteria. Your baby was already deceased before the birth appeared." Zoidberg said.
"Drug options? That's impossible!" Fry said.
"Mr. Fry, that is not just the crazy act here. Miss Leela, did you take anything while you were pregnant?" Dr. Finn asked.
"No! No, never! But I do remember Rita giving me injection. She said it was medicine, but it didn't feel like it at all." Leela said.
"Rita? Rita Johnson?" Dr. Halloway asked."Yeah. But at night, while I was giving birth, I heard voices. Voices that sounded familiar... And I guess I just passed out again." Leela said, tiredly.
"What do you mean by
passed out?" Dr. Halloway asked.
"Leela's too tired to
talk right now. She needs some rest!" Fry said.
"All right. Mr. Fry, I guarantee you, as a husband, for you to talk this over. You have five minutes." Dr. Halloway said as the three walked out of the room.
"Leela, I don't get it. Drug options? You didn't take any drugs, did you?" Fry asked."Fry, no! You trust me, don't you?" Leela asked.
"Of course I do! I'm just making sure."
"Fry!"
"I'm sorry."
"Oh, Fry it's not your fault. I'm just stressed. I mean, stillborn? I can't believe I heard that! Paige was just having breathing problems, for God sakes!"
"Easy, Leela. Easy." Fry whispered as he held her shoulders gently."... Fry... I just... I just want my baby..." Leela said as she wiped away a tear.
"It's okay, Leela..." Fry whispered as he hugged her. "Shh... It'll be all right... It's okay, honey... I'm here..."
Fry wiped away his own tears.
Just days later, Leela returned home, but kept quiet about everything. Literally. She could never speak to her kids for over six seconds. Fry knew she was upset, but this was just personal to what he thought. She did normal things, but always was silent and looked very tired. Lily and Brandon wondered why Paige hadn't come home, but was about to find out.
That night, Fry told Leela that he was going to tuck in the kids this time. Lily left the covers open for him to tuck under her. Fry approached her room, liking the fact taht he can tuck his own daughter at night, but was more concerned about telling her about Paige. She laid back as he pulled the covers to her chin.
"Dad?" she asked."Yeah, Lil?" Fry answered.
"... Why didn't Paige come home? And why is Mommy so quiet?"
Fry sighed, then sat on her bed.
"Lil... The doctor told me and your mom... When she was giving birth to Paige, she didn't make it. Somehow, there were drug thingies that affected her from breathing. The drug infected her for just by the hours."
"Drugs? Are you serious?"
"I hope not. The doctor said that she took some drugs when she really didn't. I know your mother ever since I came to the future. She would never do such a thing. Especially when she was pregnant."
"So... Paige is dead?" Lily asked, in the verge of tears.
"... I don't
want to believe it. But the doctors are professionals..." Fry
whispered.
"... Daddy, you told
me that Paige had breathing problems. She couldn't have died."
"Then how do you
explain the drugs?"
"... I seriously don't know, Lil. But you better get some rest. You got school in the morning."
Fry leaned in and kissed Lily's forehead. He then turned off the light and shut the door, where Lily slept there, confused beyond all means.
"... What is going on here?"
At school, in the cafeteria, Lily could barely eat her food. Her best friends, Nicola and Kia, looked at her worriedly, even though they knew about Lily's baby sister."Lil? You okay, girl?" Nicole asked.
"Yeah." Lily said tiredly.
"Ok, Lil, ever since ya told us dat your sister's dead, you've been quiet as a mouse. Why can't ya be loud as newlyweds on deir honeymoon night?" Kia asked.
Lily looked at her good friends. Nicole was a blonde, with short hair, a normal human, always wears jean shorts and a black tank top, and is really friendly. Sometimes she tried to make things right, but is more of a klutz. Kia is an African American with long, curly hair, orange T-shirt and green capris, and sandals that matches her style. She always wears her hair up in a ponytail and is more of a tough girl.
"Because I don't
feel like it." Lily said.
"Lil, if you don't get enough
action, you could get overrated and into a huge mass of atomic
revelations of humiliation." Nicole said.
"You know, I never did that. But sometimes I wish I did." Nicole said as she looked down to the floor.
"Nonedaless, Lil, if ya not sure that ya sister is alive or dead, ya need to ask or tell someone." Kia said.
"Tell a librarian, or a teacher, or that guy." Nicole said as she pointed to a nerd across two tables from them, who waved at them.
"Nah. Maybe I should just... Maybe I should just get over it, like normal people." Lily said.
"Get over it? What do you mean get over it? I had myself a delay of fish to my brain and I didn't get over it!" Kia said as Nicole took out an inhaler.
"Gosh, I'm so tired of getting this out and using it." Nicole said."Well, you're lucky you survived. And you have breathing problems just like my sister." Lily said.
"That's just obvious. If drugs don't do the trick, everything else would when it comes to breathing."
Lily raised her head up.
"What?""My sister says you can't die of bad drug options unless it was injected more than two days ago."
"... But Dad said that the drugs killed her in hours!"
"No, just 48 hours. You must have made a mistake."
Lily rose from her table and ran out of the cafeteria, with Nicole and Kia wondering about what she was doing.
"What was dat all about?" Kia asked."I think I just made her go bye-bye." Nicole said.
"No question. Just when I thought you couldn't get any weirder."
"Yeah, just when I couldn't get any-- What?"
Lily ran into the library, seeing Mrs. Gluttonmeyer at her desk, reading a 200 page book."Mrs. Gluttenmeyer, I need your help." Lily panted.
"What's wrong, honey?" she asked nicely.
"Ma'am, my unborn sister Paige had a breathing problems, yeah... And yet the doctors told my parents that she died from signs of drug use. My mom never did any drugs, and there were no more viruses in her system. How could she have died?"
"Hmm... You know, that's an odd question. She couldn't have died. Unless... how severe was her breathing?" she asked.
"Not that severe. Just what could cause asthma.""... This is highly irregular. You can't die with just a small bit of bad exceptions. Any allergic reactions?"
"No."
"... Then I suppose the doctors made a mistake. If your mother never did any drugs, your sister never having a horrible allergic or virus reaction, or the other stuff that's too scary to be important, your sister may still be alive."
"... Really? But, one thing's wrong-- If Paige is alive, where is she? Who's got her? WHO?"
At night, in Fry and Leela's bedroom, Leela was really quiet, and Fry didn't even think about asking her if they go back to their sex life. She didn't look angry, just blank. She had no expression on her face, and was looking straight at the TV."Um... Leela?" Fry asked, which broke the silence.
"Yeah?" Leela asked normally.
"Uh, well... Um... You okay?"
"Yeah. Why do you ask?"
"You haven't been speaking for quite a while. Are you sure it's because of... you know?"
"Oh, Paige? Yeah."
Leela hung her head. Fry moved closer to her.
"You know, Fry? I don't get it. Paige was okay when I was pregnant with her. It was just minor breathing problems, right? Really. I don't understand. My baby girl was okay. She was better than I thought. Why did she have to go?"
"Leela, she didn't
go. She's still here. We just can't see her."
"I don't think that
helps. But thanks anyway."
"... You think she's
alive, do you?" Fry asked as he put his arm around Leela.
"Why, do you?"
"I do."
"So do I. The doctors just made a foul mistake."
"I know, baby. I know..." he whispered as he kissed her cheek."... I know what
you're thinking. And the answer is yes." Leela whispered as she
kissed him.
"... You're smart..."
Fry whispered as he broke this kiss.
They flopped on the pillows of the bed, where Fry was laying on top of her. He hoped she was excited about making love as he was. But she wasn't. This time, she wanted to make love to him, because she wanted to get rid of the moment of remembering the doctors telling her that her baby was dead. She wanted to drown it all.
Drown it.
She kissed him hard. Fry intentionally did the same. This was quite a surprise, since they were going way too fast. At least, Leela was. This was sort of a race to love, but things were taken way too far for them. Their kissing became intense, and it made them speed things up faster. Leela was kissing him the fastest. He wanted her to slow down. No he didn't. Yes, he did. No he didn't. Yes, he did.
No, he didn't.
