Futurama: 1
Sitting on my bed for the first halfish of writing this and now i'm on the floor with my back to the heater while eating quality street (only two different types) (and i'm not fat (at all)) This is the way all stories should be written, pure comfort. 8th Feb 2009
Chapter 2: Off to work with some changes
Fry began picking up screws and any other little pieces of metal that were scattered all over the apartment floor and for some reason, some he had to scrape off the wall.
After about 3 minutes picking up metal and slipping over oil Fry collapsed onto his bed and let out a quick yelp as a piece of sharp metal dug into his stomach, after throwing it into the big pile of pieces he had built up the doorbell suddenly rang.
Reluctantly, after 2 minutes of waiting Fry got up to check who it was, he walked through the 'closet' to the front door and upon opening it he stood face to face with Planet Express company physician Doctor John Zoidberg, the last person Fry wanted to see.
''Wha, is the party over, my one chance at free food is gone?" Zoidberg said as he slowly allowed himself into the apartment pushing Fry out the way.
"Zoidberg what are you doing here, I'm not bleeding out of any unusual places like last time so you don't need to be here."
Zoidberg let out his trademark sigh of letdown.
"Awww. I thought even you would be a bit sympathetic for a crab like me, after all I was run over on my way here by a van that looked familiar, it could just be coincidence that it hit me while I was on the sidewalk, it does seem odd though... blah blah blah"
As Zoidberg talked to himself Fry had already shut the front door after realising Zoidberg had no intention of leaving. Fry slumped back onto his bed but was again interrupted from it's comfort to find Zoidberg lying on top of it.
"Uhh Zoidberg this is my bed"
"Please sir move along I think you'll find these beds are on a first come first served offer."
"But... but" Fry stammered as he was very close to collapsing from exhaustion due to the party.
After 15 seconds on Fry's bed, Zoidberg was sleeping and making strange and rather quiet wooping noises with his mouth flaps which irritated Fry more than he thought.
"Great, I always knew my life would sink to an all time low when I parted with my 7-leaf clover, I oughta dig it up again, that'd show em, i'd probably end up getting a pay-rise and Leela would love me and..." Fry thought about what he had just said, he loved Leela with all of his heart, maybe getting his 7-leaf clover back wasn't such a bad idea after all, it could have the power to make her love him. His thoughts of the clover suddenly stopped, if he used the clover to make her love him then it wouldn't be genuine love, it would be like the worms all over again.
After 2 minutes of thought Fry collapsed on the floor in a pool of oil from the robot party and drifted into sleep.

The following morning, 5 hours after collapsing, Fry was woken up by the sound of Zoidberg who was still making quiet wooping sounds. Fry couldn't remember what had happened the night before, his mind was a bit fuzzy after collapsing. He noticed Zoidberg lying on his bed and Fry's eyes widened.
"Oh God no, what is THAT doing there"
Zoidberg still sturred and rolled over on the bed, his arms opened up as if he was inviting Fry to join him on the bed, Fry however was already walking to the bathroom holding in vomit from the sight of Zoidberg first thing in the morning. There was a large oil stain on Fry's back and on his sides, this made him actually take a shower (for once).
After getting dried and dressed into his typical white t-shirt, red jacket and blue jeans, Fry checked the clock and saw that it was nearly 8:30 am which meant that if he wasn't at work in 15 minutes he'd get fired, since the professor made a new rule just for Fry that he would get fired for being late, even by a minute.
He wondered what to do with Zoidberg but decided to just leave him and try to remove him later.
14 Minutes later Fry arrived at the Planet Express building and headed over to the meeting table where the other employees were waiting. He sat down and noticed how empty the table looked with only himself, Leela, Amy and Hermes.
"Fry where's Bender today I thought you two always walked to work together, did you have a fall out, or kiss his girlfriend or something?" Amy said
"Yeah like I would kiss a robot" Fry quickly shot back
"Uhh actually mon, you did when you had a robot Lucy Liu bot" Hermes corrected him
"Oh yeah, well anyway Bender ran off last night so I don't know where he is. And if you're wondering where Zoidberg is you can come back to my apartment and see for yourself"
"What's Zoidberg doing at your place Fry, did he move his dumpster in with you?" Leela wondered
"He just let himself in and went to sleep on my bed and I swear he put parasites on it, and anyway it's a long story and I don't wanna talk about it"
"Great so Bender and Zoidberg are gone, that means i'll have to come on a delivery with you and maybe have a go at being a doctor if it's needed, I am an intern after all" Amy smiled at the thought "Which is good because I don't usually get to do much delivering around here" She added
At that moment The Professor entered the room on his floating chair.
"Good news everyone, Fry is being fired from planet express" The Professor shouted
The four employees sitting around the table all gave a gasp.
"What, why am I fired, I got here on time and, and, what did I do wrong?" Fry cried
"Oh my yes, you see fellow employees, our very own Phillip J Fry has been very smart" Under his breath he then mumbled* "for once in his life" He then returned to his normal voice.
