AAAHHH!!!! I am so sorry everyone!!!! I know I haven't updated in forever, but please don't hate me! I've been super busy! School has been seriously stressing me out, and I'm working on the play. Anyway, thank you to all of my awesome reviewers, DisneyBlue02, tomboyishgirl108, bdlywrttn, CrystalSlashlover, and Forts!
Also just wanted to say thanks to DisneyBlue02 whose idea helped me write this chapter. Thanks! Even though I'm a jerk for not updating I hope you'll all still review. Enjoy!
"Now where did I put that oil?" Bender muttered to himself as he went searching for the can of oil through his locker.
"Darn creak in my stupid neck!" He said still talking to himself. A week ago he would've asked Cindy to fix it, but lately he couldn't even look at Cindy with out his inside spilling out of his compartment.
As he continued to search for the oil can, he managed to find a picture of him and Cindy from a few weeks ago. He remembered that day because that was the day they had both gotten bored, and had sneaked off during lunchtime to take pictures in a photo booth. He couldn't help but smile at it as he looked at Cindy smiling in the picture. But his moment alone with the picture quickly ended as Fry walked into the lock room.
"Hey Bender what's up?" Fry asked as he tapped his best friend on the back. Quickly Bender threw the picture back into his locker and closed it quickly.
"Uh nothing…why you wanna know?!"
"Bender you're acting really weird lately. Is there something going on that you're not telling me! Are you jacking off electricity again?"
"NO! Of course not! Fry there is absolutely nothing going on in my life that I'm not telling you!" Suddenly Cindy walked in wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around her, and loose wet hair.
"Ahah!" Bender shouted as he closed his eyelid quickly. Suddenly Cindy turned around and screamed as well, and quickly hid in the space between the locker and wall.
"Omy gosh! Bender! Fry! I'm so sorry! I swear I didn't even know you guys were in here!" She said clutching her towel tightly.
"Hey don't worry about it Cindy, Amy and Leela always walk in with just towels on." Fry stated rather plainly.
"R-Really? Well okay. Sorry about my little freak out…I guess you could say I'm kind of old fashion." She said slowly stepping out from the space slowly.
"Eh no problem. Well see you later Bender, I gotta go watch T.V." And with that Fry was gone leaving Cindy and Bender alone in the locker room.
"Um…hey Bender…" She said still feeling rather awkward.
"Oh uh…hey Cindy…" With his metallic eyes still closed.
"Listen I'm sorry…I'll be outta here in a sec, just let me grab something form my locker."
"Uh, yeah, sure. Just take your time." Bender said turning away from Cindy, as he started to whistle innocently. With his eyes still shut he could only here the sound of her rummaging through her locker. But suddenly an urge came over him. An urge he knew all to well. He slowly lifted up one side of his closed eyes, and bulged his right eye out, as he slightly turned his body towards Cindy.
His eye carefully scanned over every inch of Cindy in her loosely rapped towel. Every curve, every strand of wet hair, every piece of visible flesh. She was perfect. Suddenly that other feeling he had only begun to know all to well washed over him…guilt. Quickly realizing what he was doing, he shot his eye back into his socket, and quickly closed the lid again.
"What am I doing?" He whispered to himself.
"What was that Bender?"
"Oh, uh…nothing Cindy."
"Uh lets see… oh here's my perfume! Sorry again, Bender. See you later!"
"Yeah…see ya," and with that she quickly ran out of the locker room. Once she was gone, Bender opened his eye coverer again. He plodded down on the bench and let out a huge sigh. He started to shake his head trying to forget about Cindy…with her perfect form… her beautiful long dark hair…
He could just feel her warm human skin against his metal body. Her hands curling around his neck. Her slender form pressing against him. The very thought of such things sent small shocks of electricity through his body
Suddenly he felt extremely warm, but he continued to think about Cindy. She was there, with him. He slid his hand down her back feeling her curves, and smelled her dark hair, which surprisingly smelled like cherries. He started to feel warmer, but he didn't stop. Her lips were heading towards his mechanic mouth. He felt like he might light on fire.
"Oh man…" He said to himself. Suddenly he shot up from the bench, his antenna opened up, and steam blew out of him, just like a kettle in a teapot. After about 10 seconds of blowing out steam he stood there motionless, and in and instant later he fell to the ground.
"Ow…"

Bender paced back and, pondering what he should do.
"Okay, I'm going ask her out. No, wait! What if she doesn't like me enough to go out? Uh… this human dating stuff is so confusing!" He said throwing his hands up into the air while he threw out another huge sigh.
"Ah, what's the point in even asking her… she'd probably say no." He sat down for a moment feeling defeated, until he looked up. Over by the spaceships where the second set of lockers was Cindy was using the mirror in one of them to brush her long hair. Suddenly Bender felt a feeling of determination well up inside of him.
"Okay I'm going to it!" He said as he started to march over towards Cindy.
Yeah I can do this! Bender though to himself as he walked towards Cindy. But what if she doesn't want to go out with me? What if she laughs in my face? I can't do this! I can't do this!
"Bender?"
"AHAH! Cindy! When did you get here?"
"Bender… you walked up to me. You've been standing there for like 1 whole minute starring at me. You okay?"
"I uh…well you see…uh…hey Cindy?"
"Yes Bender?"
"Well you see…I was just wondering if…well maybe…do want to go…"
"Hey Cindy, hey Bender!" Leela greeted the two as she and Amy walked in.
"Perfect timing." Bender mumbled to himself quietly.
"Wow Cindy you look cute!" Amy said.
"Yeah. Why are you all dressed up anyway Cindy?" Leela asked.
"Well…I wasn't going to say anything, but… I'm going out on a date tonight!"
"Woohoo! Good for you girl! So, who's the guy?" Amy asked as she and Leel leaned in closer to Cindy.
"Well… his name is John. I met him the other day in the park while I was taking a late walk. We started talking, and before I knew it he…he asked me out."
"Is he cute?"
"He's average, you know."
"What does he do for a living?"
"I think he's a partner in a big law firm."
"Ooh! He sounds like a nice catch! Congrats Cindy!"
"Yeah, congrats Cindy!" But as the two girls congratulated her, Bender felt humiliated and defeated.
"Well I better get going. Don't' wanna be late for my date. Amy how do I look?"
"Super cute!"
"Leela?"
"You look good!"
"Bender?" Bender started at her for a moment, wanting to say she looked absolutely perfect, but he just didn't have the heart to.
"You uh…you look nice Cindy."
"Thanks you guys! See you later!" She shouted as she ran out of the building.
"Well Bender, looks like you and Cindy won't be spending as much time toge…" But when Amy and Leela turned around, Bender was gone.
He found himself out of the building, heading for home
"Well…at least Cindy's happy" He tried to convince himself as he plodded towards his apartment.
Okay I know! Not my funniest chapter, but I tried! Again sorry I didn't update sooner. I'll try to get another chapter up as soon as possible!
