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 5: The Kidnapped Paige

"Something fishy is going on here, Brandon." Lily said as she was in Brandon's room, pacing back and forth.
"I'll say. I think the fish at our school is about to have babies. But how, actually?" Brandon asked.
"I mean about Paige. She's alive."
"What are you talking about? Paige died. You heard what dad said. The doctors told him so--"
"Doctors are not always right, Brand. She could be anywhere by now."
"Have you asked Mom and Dad about that, yet?"

"About what?" Fry's voice asked as he came in the room.

"Hi, Dad. Um... do you think Paige is alive?" Lily asked.
"I asked your mother the same question. As a Dad, something's telling me I do." Fry said as he sat down on the bed.
"Lily found some proof at school. Thanks to Nicole and our librarian, she's got it packed from A to Q." Brandon said.
"I don't know about this, Lil. The doctors or cops wont even believe us." Fry said.
"Well... we can try something else." Lily said.

"Hon, this may be something that can't be real. We don't know if she's alive or not. Besides, how do you explain the dead baby that the doctors showed us?"

Lily looked down on the ground, sadly.

"Don't feel that way, Lily. You tried. That's what's really great." Fry said as he put his arm around her shoulders.
"I know. That's just one thing I can't figure out. What about that baby...?"

Fry noticed a tear running down her soft face. He knew she tried hard to find out what had happened, and just lost just one true way to find her sister. She looked at her father, wondering more about how he and Brandon feels, too. They then began to hug, holding each other tight. As Leela walked in the room, she saw the two embracing, with Brandon looking at her sadly as well. She knew they were all thinking about Paige, and how much they missed her. She walked in, as Fry and Lily broke apart, and began facing each other for a very long time.

"... No matter what... Even if Paige isn't here... We'll always be together... Because I love you all." Leela whispered.

They all smiled. Fry motioned Leela to come to him, where she walked towards the bed, sat beside Fry, and they all began to hug each other. Fry, Leela, Lily, and Brandon. It was more than just a heartbeat when they embraced and cried from the loss of their fifth family member. They had each other, anyway.

Always.

A FEW MONTHS LATER...

The dreams were back again. And they came to haunt Leela. The voices and movements that were made, it all came to her like crazy. And she didn't know how to make it stop, because it sounded so familiar...

"Scott, hurry up."
"I can't, honey. Her cries will wake her up."
"Well, make sure it doesn't. Get her out of here. I'll take care of the rest."

"I think she's awake."
"Shut up, you fool. That injection will keep her in her place."

"Hand me that basket..."

"Let's go. We got her..."

"Paige..." she whispered in her head. "... Paige... Paige... Paige... Paige... PAIGE!"

Leela rose up and gasped for air. She breathed heavy breaths, as Fry woke up, but his hand on her shoulder, and spoke with a tired, but concerned voice.

"Leela? What's wrong? What happened?"

That nightmare hit her like a thunderbolt. She haven't seen her baby from the moment she was born. Away from it for three months, she thought she couldn't take it anymore. She regretted in her mind to ever believe that Paige was really dead. Fry got up and led her to the bathroom, where he got a washcloth, moistened it with cold water, and rested it on the back of Leela's neck.

"It's okay, Leela. Everything's all right. It was just a nightmare. It's all right..." Fry whispered.

Her breathing calmed her down, but the thought of Paige didn't. Her mind raced faster than she has ever known.

"Fry... Paige isn't dead... Paige isn't dead! The doctors lied. A mother knows when her baby is alive... She's out there... Paige is alive... Paige is alive, and she wants to come home!" Leela panicked.

Fry believed her. But the only thing he wanted to do most was to calm his wife down.

"Leela, you better come back to bed." Fry suggested.
"... Fry... You believe me, do you?" Leela asked.
"Of course I do. But you just need to settle down--"
"Fry. We need to find our baby. I can't take this anymore."
"Leela--"

Just then, Leela broke free from Fry's hold and her hand ran towards the medicine cabinet. She pulled out a huge pile of safety pins in her hand, where she began staring at Fry blankly.

"I don't know where my daughter is, or what'll happen to her if we don't come for her. But I swear, when I find the person who took my baby, I'll jab these safety pins down their throat and kick their sorry asses to hell!" Leela exclaimed as she began squeezing the pile of safety pins. Fry watched in horror as blood trickled down from her hand, where he began fighting for her to let go.

"Leela! Drop the safety pins!" Fry cried as he tried to make her let go of the needles with his own hands. "Leela! Let go!"

Leela slowly loosened her hand on the wad of needles and dropped them all to the floor. Fry saw her hand, entirely looked like it was sank into a tub of blood.

"Oh my God..." he whispered.

Leela fell into her husband's arms and cried. They both sunk to the floor, while Fry was holding her tight, rocking her back and forth. He kissed her cheek as he whispered to her ear.

"It'll be okay, Leela. I'm here... I'm here... I wont leave you... I'm here... I love you, Leela..."

Fry quickly grabbed the washcloth Leela dropped to the floor and draped it around her wounded hand. Leela hissed because of the pain. That's where Fry tried to calm her down even more.

"It's okay, Leela. It'll be better, now. It's all right, honey... I love you so much... I do... with all my heart..."

He then kissed her for as long as he could.

The next morning, Lily woke up strangely. It was a Saturday, and she didn't recognize the sound of the skillet burning. Slowly and softly, she walked into her parent's room, and saw an unusual sight. They weren't underneath the covers, and it looked like Fry was holding Leela very tight. Around her hand, there was a huge wrapping bandage, that covered a huge red spot on her hand. Fry's jacket was wrapped around her shoulders, and also, they weren't in their pajamas. They were in their usual clothes; white T-Shirt, blue pants, and black shoes, and white tank top, black pants, and boots.

Lily figured they must have went somewhere. She slowly backed away, and walked into Brandon's room. He was laying asleep with his turtle in his arms. She slowly shook him, urging for him to wake up. He did so, looking at his older sister, noticing the open expression in her eyes.

"Brandon... First thing tonight, we're going to find Paige."
