Hey everyone! Sorry about the slow updates! I'm tying… anyway thanks again for all the awesome reviews from DisneyBlue02, Forts, and tomboyishgirl108…I'm not even kidding when I say you guys' rock. Enjoy!

"Hello everyone!" Cindy practically shouted as she found her way to the bridge. "I hope everyone's ready for a hard day of workin'!" The only response she relieved was the snoring of Fry as he slept on a chair.

"Hey Cindy." Leela said coming through the automatic doors.

"Hey Leela. Say...where is everyone?"

"Oh well you probably noticed Fry over there sleeping, and Bender's well he's…he's uh..." Suddenly Bender walked into the room not even noticing Cindy at first.

"Okay Leela I'm done watching my porn now, so you can start…ah! Oh a hey there Cindy." He said completely shocked. But Cindy didn't even say anything, she just laughed

"Well I guess we better get to work now. Cindy listen, Fry and I have to make a delivery to the Mafia planet. While were gone, do you think you could fix the boiler?"

"That's what I'm here for Captain Leela!"

"Great. We'll be back in a couple of hours."

"Whoa whoa, wait a second! What about me!" Bender said.

"Oh no Bender! You're not allowed on the Mafia planet. Remember what happened the last time you were there?"

"Hey how was I supposed to know that those machine guns were automatic?"

"They said on the box that they were!"

"So, what's your point?"

"Huh. Well Fry and I are gonna get going. Come on Fry…Fry come on!" Leela yelled at him, but he just kept sleeping.

"Oh for Pete's sake." Leela rolled up the newspaper and whacked Fry on the top of his head. He fell off his chair, and rolled onto the floor barley conscious.

"What? What's happening? Is the- is the world ending again?" Fry mumbled as he stood up.

"Come on Fry, we've got an important delivery to make!" Leela grabbed him by the hair and dragged him up to the ship.

"OOOWW! LEELA THAT HURTS! AAAHH! OOW! Ooh… pull the right side of my head…oh that feels goOOOW!" Soon Fry's screaming stopped as the two reached the ship, and Bender and Cindy watched as the spaceship took off

"Well, that was mildly interesting. So Bender, you wanna help me fix the boiler!" Bender scoffed at her question.

"PSHHSH! Why would I wanna fix the stupid boiler!"

"Oh, I don't know…. just thought I ask." Bender suddenly felt that small pinch of guilt in him again.

"Well if you need me I'll be downstairs then." She said making her way down to the basement. She walked down the steps to find that basement was basically just filled with pipes and smoke. She looked to see that the smoke was coming from one of the open pipes.

"Oh my gosh! I better get that closed!" She ran up to it, and tried to shut it close but it wouldn't. She took an extra long wrench and tried to twist it shut but it wouldn't budge.

"UH! I need something to bend this with, but…" Suddenly she heard the sharp sound of metal twisting. Through the smoke she saw a pair of metal hands bend the pipe downwards. Once the smoke cleared up, she could see who her helper was.

"You ah…need a hand?" Bender asked.

x.x.x.x.x

"All…most…got…it. Just hold the boiler up a little bit more Bender!"

"No problemo Cindy!" Bender said as he held the large boiler up even higher. Cindy was twisting the gaskets onto the bottom. She quickly twisted on the last one and rolled out from underneath the boiler.

"Got it!" She said. Bender then placed the boiler back down the ground.

"Ah… thanks for…all your…help…Bender…" She said catching her breath form all the heat from the boiler.

"Eh no problem…by the way you got dirt all over your face." Cindy touched her face to find grease and dirt all over her fingers.

"Oh…how embarrassing." She said with a sheepish smile. She took a rag out of her pocket, and wiped her face clean.

"There! How does that look Bender?"

"Eh, it looks oka…." But before he could finish his sentence he really took a good look at her face. It was the first time he had seen the dirt completely wiped from her face. She actually had soft, fine features, and her cream colored skin looked so smooth. He must have stared at her for quite some time though, for he could begin to hear her calling out his name.

"Bender!"

"Huh, what?"

"Does my face look okay?" She asked again.

"Uh, yeah. It looks uh…nice." He said.

"Uh good." She said still breathing a bit harshly.

"So Bender, what do you like to do?" Cindy asked as she started to repair another pipe.

"Why do you care?" Cindy shrugged her shoulders.

"I figure since we'll be working together, I should know some stuff about you."

"Well let's see. I love the taste of fine beer, I enjoy the art of gambling, and of course…I love speakin' Spanish!"

"Wait, you speak Spanish?"

"Of course I do! I'm Latino, remember?" He said once again opening his compartment to reveal "Hecho en Mexico."

"Oh right!"

"In fact some would even call me the swarthy Latin charmer. For instance, hmmm…tu eres mucho mas interesante que el otro perdedoro's trabajo con."

(translation: You are much more interesting than the other losers I work with.)

"Haha…gracias mi amigo. Tu eres no tan malo usted solo!"

(translation: thank you my friend. You're not so bad yourself.)

"What the…hey how did you know what I was saying?!"

"I'm fluent in Spanish. I took it in High School and College, you know just in case."

"Wow…I don't think I've ever met any one else who speaks fluent Spanish!"

"Tell me about it. Ever since they put the Queeritians language in Universities, nobody has taken Spanish. In fact, I think I was the only one in the class."

"Whoa. Well it's nice to know that some people still care about us Latino's!"

"Yeah…"

"So Cindy…what do you like to do? Not that I care or anything…I'm just curious…"

"Well, as you probably already have noticed, I love fixing things. I also like sketching, sometimes painting. And I like…well… nah."

"What? What is it?"

"No, it's…it's stupid, never mind."

"Aww come on tell me! Please…."

"Well…it's just… I like…Ilike20thcenturymusicals…" She mumbled quickly. Bender just stood there for a moment, a bit confused.

"20th century musicals huh? Well what's so great about 20th century musicals?"

"I know it sounds stupid Bender! And I know everybody thought that the people of the 20th century were total morons but it's just…when I hear a note of West Side Story, or or or, Phantom of the Opera, or Sweeney Todd, and OH…my favorite, Les Miserable, my heart just…soars! Those 20th century folk may not have known much about science, math, engineering, mechanics, or much else, but they sure knew a lot about music."

"Uh, huh…"

"Bender promise you won't tell anyone…"

"Uh…no. Bender promises nothing!"

"Oh uh really…well then I guess I'll just have to tell the rest of the crew that you love singing the folk tune song "Blowin' in the wind!""

"UHH…but, but, but…how do you know that I like that song?!"

"When I was fixing you up you kept on singing folk tune songs… you must have sung that song "Blowin' In The Wind" at least 13 times."

"You wouldn't dare tell!"

"Try me…" Bender thought for a moment, and finally cooled himself down.

"You know Cindy I like your style…black mail. Okay your secret's safe with me. So long as mine's is safe with you that is…"

"I'll take it to my grave." She said putting a hand over her heart. Bender couldn't help but smile at her. She was smart, and had guts. Suddenly the two could hear the thumping of big boots above their heads.

"CINDY, BENDER! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!" Leela screamed

"Oh Fry and Leela must be back from their delivery." Cindy and Bender walked up the stairs to find Fry and Leela.

"Oh there you guys are."

"Yeah. So how'd the delivery go?"

"Oh they tried to blow us up." Fry said plainly.

"Oh my gosh! Well, are you guys okay?"

"Oh yeah, we're used to it by now. So Cindy, did you manage to fix the boiler like I asked?"

"Oh yeah! Shouldn't break for at least twenty years, and neither should the pipes."

"Wow, I'm impressed. You managed to fix the boiler, and the pipes all in 3 hours?"

"Well I had a lot of help from Bender here. He bent most of the pipes, and lifted the boiler up for me so I work under it."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! You mean…our Bender, actually worked…voluntarily?" Leela asked astonished.

"Oh yeah! He was great!"

"Uh, well I did do sort of great didn't I? You know Cindy, you and I make a pretty good team!"

"That we do Bender, that we do!" She said as the two bumped each other at the hips. Fry and Leela just starred at the two utterly stupefied. They couldn't believe what they were hearing, or seeing.

"Leela…are we in the right universe?"

Okay, well there it is! I wanted Bender and Cindy to get some a lone time so they could learn things about each other! I hope I wrote the Spanish correctly, and if I didn't I'm sorry. Hopefully I'll have another chapter up soon! R & R!
