"Ah, dere you are you lazy slobs!" The four suddenly heard a voice shout. They turned around to see Hermes holding a clipboard and pen.
"Alright…now you all got a twenty minute lunch break, and den it's back to work for da tree of ya!"
"Hermes did you even notice that there's someone else here?" Leela said.
"Hello Hermes, it's nice to meet you. I'm Cindy, the new employee." There was a moment of awkward silence in the room before Hermes finally spoke again.
"Okay…den you all got a twenty minute lunch break, and den it's back to work for da FOUR of ya! Now if you excuse me I have some documents to shred," and with that, he was gone.
"Well, uh…he seems nice."
x.x.x.x.x
"So Fry what do you have for Lunch today?"
"Eh, just the usual…baloney with roach legs. How 'bout you Leela?"
"Oh the usual… salad with Executive dressing. How about you Cindy?"
"Oh just a hamburger." She said as she took a rather large bite into her hamburger. "Man it feels like High School all over again, only this time I'm not sitting with the kid who constantly wipes his nose on his sleeve."
"Well unlike you meat bags, I don't need to consume any of your high priced processed food! All I need is a nice cold…AAAHHH!"
"What is that, new on the market?"
"NO! I left…I left…I left the rest of my beer back at the apartment! Ah man!" Suddenly Cindy's face lit up, and she quickly reached into her lunch pale.
"Here Bender, have one of mine." She said as she handed a beer. He stared at it for a moment before hesitantly taking it from her hand.
"Uh thanks…you carry around two bottles of beer in your lunch pale?"
"What are you kidding? Nothing like a juicy hamburger, and a cold beer for lunch!" She said as she took a swallow of beer. "Ah…refreshing!"
"So what were you two talking about while Fry and I were gone?" Cindy and Bender glanced at one another.
"Eh…nothing really."
"Yeah. What Bender said."
"Oh well…tell us Cindy, you got any family here on Earth?"
"Nah not really. My aunt and uncle live on Andramator four, and all my cousins live on Orion's belt.
"Well what about a dad or something?" Fry asked.
"Oh well… my dad's gone off to a better place."
"Oh my gosh…I'm so sorry…"
"Sorry? Why are you sorry? He's in that fine elderly community on Saturn. Better for him you know."
"OH! So your mom must live there with him, right?"
"No…my mother's dead…"
"Ooooh…"
"So do you visit your dad often?"
"Well I…the thing is…would you say once a year is often?"
"Um…no…"
"I know, I know! I should feel horrible that I don't see him more often, it's just…I'm sort of a daddy's little girl."
"Well…that doesn't sound so horrible. That sounds kind of sweet."
"Oh yeah, it's sweet aright… if your father isn't lunatic! He only wants what's best for me I know, but he…he just wanted me to marry some rich guy, while my dream was to be…well, be a mechanic. It's just…we've never exactly seen eye-to-eye."
"Same with me and my dad…especially on that eye-to-eye part. So Cindy any…you know…men in your life?"
"Are you crazy?" Bender shouted before Cindy even had a chance to think. "Cindy's way to tough, cool, and greasy for that kind of dating stuff, aren't you Cindy?"
"Bender!"
"What?"
"Actually Leela, Bender's right. I'm not really the dating sort, unless I really, really like the guy. Otherwise though I'm independent! It's kinda nice actually."
"Alright you four, enough socializing! It's back to work!" Hermes yelled at them.
"Okay, okay! Gees Hermes, don't have a hernia. Well Fry come on! We've got to go get more supplies for the ship, and for this dump."
"Right behind you Leela!"
"Listen Cindy, I'm really sorry to ask this but…when we were escaping from the mafia the ship kind of got scratched up on the side. Do think you could buff out the scratches.
"Ill do my best Leela."
"Thanks Cindy." Leela, and Fry headed for the door until they noticed they were missing someone.
"Bender, come on! We've got to get more supplies!"
"Eh…you guys go ahead…I got stuff to do and…stuff."
"Well…alright. But when we get back I better not find that you've gone through my diary again!" After the two left Bender found his way around the ship looking for Cindy.
"Oh uh…hey there Cindy."
"Hey Bender. You didn't go with Fry and Leela to get supplies?"
"Nah…say listen I was just wondering…you know out of robo curiosity…could I help you fix the ship…please?"
"Well…of course Bender. That's so sweet of you to offer your help.
"Ah shucks." He said sheepishly looking down and scraping his metal foot against the floor.
"Hey about we put some tunes on?" Cindy reached for the stereo, and turned the knob a little.
"Just gotta find the pop, rock, and alternative rock station."
"UH…you like the pop, rock, and alternative rock station!"
"Heck yes I do! I love that station! I…ooo found it!"
ONE DAY WHEN I CAME HOME AT LUNCHTIME,
I HEARD A FUNNY NOISE
WENT OUT TO THE BACK YARD…
"I LOVE this song!" Cindy practically shouted.
"Yeah me too! The Jonas Brothers was one of the only few bands that didn't totally suck during the 20th century! Come on Cindy let's DANCE! Ooo, yeah , come on!" Suddenly Bender started turning his body around, swaying, and swinging his arms, while his head stayed in place. Cindy couldn't help but laugh.
HE TOLD ME HE BUILT A TIME MACHINE
"Come on Cindy dance!"
LIKE THE ONE IN A FILM I'VE SEEN
"No, no, no, no, no!" She said still giggling. "I'll just embarrass myself!"
YEAH YEAH…
"COME ON!" He said still encouraging her. She rolled her eyes, but then started to shake her hips to the beat of the song.
HE SAID…
I'VE BEEN TO THE YEAR 3000
NOT MUCH HAS CAHNGED BUT THEY LIVE UNDER WATER,
AND YOUR GREAT GEAT GREAT GRANDAUGHTER,
IS DONG FINE…DOING FINE!
"Oh yeah! Come on girl…shake that thing!"
"Bender!" She said still laughing and dancing with him.
"Oh come on now Cindy! You know you like dancin'!"
"Haha! Bender! Ready…ONE, TWO, THREE!" She shouted.
HE SAID, I'VE BEEN TO THE YEAR 3000
NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED BUT THEY LIVE UNDERWATER
"AND YOUR GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDAGUHTER, IS DOING FINE…DOING FINE!" The two shouted together as they still danced in what felt like the best time either of them had ever had.
x.x.x.x.x
"Hey guy's were back…again." Leela said as she and Fry entered the darkened building.
"Hey Leela!" Bender said.
"Oh ah…aww…hey Leela." Cindy said yawning loudly.
"Cindy? What are you still doing here? You do know it's almost 9 o'clock don't you?"
"It is? Wow how time flies, huh? Bender and I were just relaxing."
"Why doesn't that surprise me? Bender you told me you had stuff to do!"
"Well you see I…I mean I was just….uh…"
"Don't get mad at Bender Leela. Just like he helped me with the boiler, he helped me with the spaceship."
"Oh well…I guess that's okay…"
"Well I better get home and get to bed."
"Me too. I've gotta get home and feed Nibbler." The four headed for the door
"Bye Cindy!" Leela shouted as she walked down the street.
"Bye Leela!"
"Come on Bender let's get back to the apartment."
"Um…I'll catch up with you Fry."
"Well…okay then Bender." Fry walked down the other street.
"Hey Bender." He turned around to see Cindy still there.
"Thanks for all your help on my first day. I really had an awesome time."
"Well I guess you could say I am an awesome robot…"
"Haha…that you are my friend…anyway thanks again Bender."
"My pleasure senorita." He said gently grabbing her hand. "If you need any help or assistance, I'm your robot." And the he did something he would have never expected of himself. He kissed her soft human hand. He didn't even reach into her pockets for her wallet. He just kissed her hand and then lifted himself back up.
"Haha…you really are the swarthy Latin charmer aren't you now?" She said giving him a small smile. "Well I'll see you tomorrow Bender!" She said as she got into her red hover truck and drove off.
"Yeah…see ya…" He said as he watched her drive off. Once she was finally out of sight, Bender could feel the wired feeling in his stomach going on again.
"What's going on with you Bender?" He asked himself. "I mean you didn't even try to steal anything from her when you…whoa… I kissed her hand. What's going on with me?" He kept asking himself that same question over and over again as he walked back to his apartment.
So there it is folks! Hope you liked it! R & R!
