Disclaimer: I do not own Futurama
I'm finally able to post the third chapter of this Futurma fanfiction. Thank you and have a good read please.
She looked at him a little surprised he didn't know that already and then she smiled.
"So what have you been up to?" S'Meg asked.
"I had to a deliver a package for this strange geeky alien; how about you?" he replied.
"I've just been meeting family and planning an alliance with the small minded commander Zap Branigan."
"Always trying to be super-confident, that Zapp fellow." Fry replied. "What makes you eager to pursue an alliance with him." he asked.
"With an alliance I can finally help make my planets ship move through wormhole and rough space."
"That sounds like a pretty tall order, but that sounds pretty awesome." Fry replied. "I'm so glad you'd understand." S'Meg said, sporting a big smile.
Fry looked around to see if Bender and Leela were in sight. They were not and seeing that, Fry hatched an idea.
"You want to have dinner with me tonight...in the form you are in now unless it's not your real form?"
"Well, this isn't my real form." S'Meg replied, before reverting back into her pink alien form that Fry saw her as at the cafe that morning.
"You still look nice." He complimented.
"Aww, thanks!" S'Meg replied, blushing a bit as she smiled sweetly towards him. "So, where should we go out to? Fancy, or not fancy, I don't mind either way." she added.
"On my salary it might be a little hard to eat fancy, but I'm willing to spend a lot if you have somewhere special you want to get to."
"Well, there's a not-fancy resturaunt that has, like, arcade games there. I heard it's a pretty cool place to eat and chill." S'Meg said.
Fry liked the sound of that.
After saying their goodbyes, Fry came back to the ship. "So, how did your job go?" Leela asked. "Did you bump into people along the way?" Bender asked.
"It went well, and yeah, I did bump into S'Meg." Fry replied.
"You did?!" Bender asked, his robot eyes bugging out in surprise.
"Yeah. I even asked her if she would go on a date with me and she said yes."
Leela rolled her eyes in indifference, while Bender exclaimed, "Well, congrats, you lucky son of a gun!"
Fry smiled that small but happy smile he always used. Except when he was tortured or Bender came back to haunt him.
Bender offered a fist-bump, to which Fry complied. After sharing a fist-bump, they started up the ship in order to get moving.
"Fry, Bender, fasten your seatbelts." Leela ordered.
"Ay ay, captain!" Bender replied as he and Fry sat back, getting their seatbelts ready.
Leela dabbled with some button settings before veering the ship up. A once-brown homeless man with dirt matted on his locks tried cleaning the windshields. He instantly feel off with a little jiggle of the ship.
"Hey!" he exclaimed, before looking up at the ship and calling out, "Come back! I haven't even finished cleaning those damn windshields!"
Leela was gone before she could let the bum clean her windshields.
And with that, the ship began returning home.
Leela was never so relieved to leave.
'Once we get back, I could use a massage.' she thought to herself.
She passed a few glistening stars on the way back to Earth.
"Whoa, check it out! You just missed one of the biggest constellations around!" Bender told Fry.
Fry was busy reading a book when he was informed, but replied, "Sorry, I was kinda busy."
Bender just made his mocking face at Fry to show how he didn't care.
"Your loss, kiddo." he replied, before he went off to look out at the sky in amazement, leaving Fry to his own devices, up until the ship would finally arrive at Earth and make its landing.
Suddenly, one of Fry's mattress transformed into the shapeshifter S'Meg.
"S'Meg?! What the...how the hell did you get here?!" he asked.
"Hey, I wanted to tag along for the ride, so...hey, is that Earth?" S'Meg replied, before looking out the window.
"Umm, I think only three members are allowed...something about security." Fry mumbled.
S'Meg blinked in confusion, "What on this planet are you talking about?" she asked.
"Nothing. Just lots of different aliens."
"Oh, I see." she replied.
"We've just landed, so get moving already!" Leela called out, getting Fry and S'Meg's attention.
"I-I better go. Your happy to leave or stay here; leaving might make Leela think your an intruder right now though."
"Hmm...I should consider staying." S'Meg replied after pondering for a bit.
"Okay, just keep quiet, and if you think the coast is clear, feel free to demorph and try and find another random hiding place on the ship." Fry told her.
"Fry, remember, I'm a shapeshifter."
She proved Fry this by transforming into a chair before his eyes.
"Okie dokie. I get ya; anyways, see you later!" he replied, nodding his approval, before he left the ship to join with Leela, Bender, and the others.
"Took you long enough." Amy said.
Fry shrugged his shoulders to his EX-girlfriend still good friend. "I thought I saw a dollar under the heater."
"Got any new news or something?" Fry asked. Deep down inside, he was making sure he wouldn't want to bring up S'Meg, otherwise he'd be in for a world of hurt.
"So far, nothing new, really." Amy replied. "So how did you fare with your delivery?" Levels asked.
"I did pretty decently, thanks for asking." Fry responded.
Levels gave Fry the thumbs up he was glad the delivery went smoothly.
"I'm certain you've met some new friends, right?" Hermes asked.
"New people? Uhh..." Fry said, and briefly trailed off before he replied, "No, I didn't." It was a bold lie that would certainly fool anyone, especially since he didn't want to remind anyone that he had some kind of special bond going on with S'Meg.
"Well don't be discouraged about meeting new people...even if your a potbelly low paid loser who can't even take a shower once a week." Hermes soothed.
Fry gulped, before he quietly told him, hoping no one else could hear him, "Well, I met this shapeshifter named S'Meg. She's a really nice and friendly girl, and does a pretty good job with shapeshifting."
"Shapeshifter? I thought you learned not to dabble with freaky girls after being in Atlantica. I guess your so dumb stupid decisions in relationships are your forte."
Of course, what he didn't realize that while he was on the ship, he was drinking what appeared to be beer, but it happened to be a love potion that S'Meg slipped into. Soon, the effects began kicking in, Fry was suddenly all googly-eyed and very much in love.
"Um...is there something wrong?" Hermes asked.
Fry didn't know why he didn't feel so good but the worse he felt the more euphoria he felt for S'Meg.
"No, not at all. I'm just...fine." he said.
Of course, this was enough for the others to notice as well, as Leela said, "You look like you've been drinking way too much."
"Me...only one can of beer. It's no big deal, really."
"...Right." Leela said, crossing her eyes, while Bender just grinned. "Something tells me he's gonna get laid tonight!" he exclaimed.
Leela just rolled her eyes and crossed her arms at how stupid Bender was.
"...Whatever." was her blunt response.
Later on that evening, Fry was all dressed up and ready to meet S'Meg.
Bender was sitting in a chair watching All My Circuits with a cigar in his mouth.
"So, where ya going?" he asked. "Out on a date, perhaps?"
"Well, yeah, of course I'm going out." Fry replied.
"Hey, when you get back, tell me if you made it through first base, 'kay?" Bender asked.
Fry bit his lower lip as he blushed a bit, before leaving and heading on out.
Waiting for him below was S'Meg with what appeared to be a menu in her right hand, when really it was four pictures of different species. She had a secret she couldn't tell Fry.
"That's a nice little number you got there." Fry said, referring to the blue cocktail dress S'Meg was wearing.
"Oh, thanks." she replied, letting out a small giggle.
S'Meg touched Fry's suit while secretly throwing away the menu.
"Huh? What's going on?" he asked, his eyes blinking in wonder.
"Nothing. I just like to be eccentric." She was lying and hoped he was silly enough to believe it.
"I see that. Anyways, let's get to our table." Fry said.
After a waiter found Fry and S'Meg a table, they sat down and were ready to take their orders.
"I'll have the steak with mushrooms and potatoes." Fry said.
"I'll have roast beef with a side of mashed potatoes." S'Meg added. "And make sure to provide us some champagne." Fry replied to the waiter.
The waiter immediately moved to the kitchen to get them their champagne.
"So, do you have any friends?" S'Meg asked.
"Yeah, I do. They're very diverse, if you ask me." Fry replied.
"Are they the same people I saw you talk to on that delivery ship?"
"Well, yes, they were." Fry replied.
"Really? That's nice." S'Meg said, sporting a small smile. She was also lucky they didn't know that Fry was under the love potion's spell.
"Um...you got any friends of your own?" he asked her.
"Me? Not really. I guess being a shapeshifter and all I'm just not that interesting to most people."
"That stinks. I'm sure you'll find some new pals someday." Fry told her reassuringly.
"Maybe. I have some intention of meeting new people, just not sure what to tell them about myself."
"I suggest you be friendly and nice, and who knows? You might get to know someone someday." Fry told her, causing S'Meg to smile.
"Okay. Smiling more will help me get to know people more. For now I'm just thinking about our date."
"Well, are you enjoying yourself so far?" S'Meg asked.
"Absolutely!" Fry replied, before the waiter arrived with their food.
"Me too. Last time I tried having fun I was asked to shapeshift into many different shapes."
She then noticed the food being brought onto the table, and she said with a smile, "Bon appetit!"
Fry ate a small bite of the food, never tasted anything as good.
"This is really good!" he exclaimed, and he even noticed that S'Meg was savoring the food as much as he was.
"I'll say!" she added.
"Not even Elzar cooks food this good. But then again he hardly aims to impress anyone."
S'Meg chuckled at Fry's statement, and with that, the duo enjoyed their dinner.
Some time later, when they were finished eating, Fry sat back into his seat and let out a content sigh. "Man, I'm stuffed!" he exclaimed.
S'Meg found that to be quite funny. "If I wanted to I could turn into a form that never feels stuffed."
"I wonder if that's ever possible..." Fry said, pondering to himself. "So, do you wish to pay for the food? Or should I?" he asked.
"Please, this is the thirty first century. It's better if I pay."
"Okie doke." Fry said, nodding his approval. When the waiter returned, S'Meg instantly began to pay for the food, and even giving him a fairly large tip.
"Really? Thanks!" the waiter said with a smile. "Hope you buy something cool with it." S'Meg told him.
S'Meg and Fry soon left the restaurant. Fry was happy to be holding S'Meg's hand because it was so warm.
"So...what's next? Should I take you back home? Or we can come back to my place for a little bow chicka wow wow?" he asked. Clearly, that love potion was certainly making him a tiny bit randy.
"I would love to see your place, I just might not be interested in the wow wow until I'm ready."
"Oh, I see. Allright, then let's get moving!" S'Meg replied, and they would travel down over to her apartment. To his surprise, it was neat and tidy and had some kind of elegant vibe to it.
She uses her powers to turn her arm into a tentacle to put away her wallet behind a counter.
"Whoa! That's actually kinda cool!" Fry exclaimed.
"Gee, thank you." S'meg replied with a smile. "Not to mention, this apartment of yours is pretty stylish." Fry added.
S'Meg smiled. She wasn't really thinking when she bought this apartment room, heard it was once owned by a cougar dominatrix, but glad she made it more colourful.
"Thank you, Fry. So, you wanna listen to a couple of tunes before you leave?" S'Meg asked, as she began starting up her music player.
Fry nodded his head. He was congruent into music too.
S'Meg then put on some classical music, and chilled out on her sofa.
Fry didn't listen to classical music that often but who out there really hated it?
"Well, this stuff doesn't seem too bad..." he said.
"Really? That's pretty cool. Nothing better than to broaden your horizons, right?" S'Meg asked.
Just when Fry was feeling so euphoric it felt like he died and one to heaven, Bender showed up making all kinds of racket.
"Well, if it isn't the shapeshifter!" he exclaimed.
"Bender?!" Fry asked, jolting in surprise.
"Yeah, it's me. I didn't have anything to do tonight so I thought I would stay behind and annoy my buddy."
"In case you didn't know, I was out on a date with S'Meg." Fry explained.
"Yeah, but when Hermes explained to us as to how you were acting strange, we investigated the ship, and found something pretty unexpected." Bender replied.
S'Meg was nervous now. She didn't expect anyone to go into the ship and look through Fry's room so early.
"So...you're saying you found my...love potion?" she asked, almost embarrassingly.
"Well, duh! Not to mention it came in this fancy schmancy bottle!" Bender added.
Fry couldn't tell if the effects were wearing off, as it was clear he didn't know what side he was on.
"Well all I can say is...bad robot. And bad coworkers too. I could just turn into a bull and give them a piece of my face...get it, because it's like mind only bulls ram people with their faces?"
Bender simply guffawed at this statement, finding it to be way too funny.
Fry just looked at her wondering if she's been playing him like a fiddle.
"Wait a minute...does this mean I consumed a beer laced with a love potion, and I instantly got starry-eyed after this?" Fry asked, scratching his head out of confusion.
"Listen, bub," S'Meg told Bender. "When I encountered him on the ship, I could tell he was totally into me. So I decided to spike his drink."
Fry did something Bender never expected him to do, he stood in front of S'Meg and glared into Benders eyes.
"She's my friend, but..."
"Oh, please. It's the love potion talking ain't it?" Bender asked.
