Futurama: 1

*READ THIS* *Just a quick note*

This story is set before the Futurama Film "Into The Wild Green Yonder" just had to clear that up, also sorry about the 2 month gap, I never got round to writing this, so here it is, hope you enjoy it. Sunday 12th April. Yeah, Easter!

Chapter 3: 3

"Our dear Fry has come into work without his robot today and has acted so casual about it that none of you noticed" The Professor said "Why if he doesn't bring the robot then who will cook us our fine meals when we're hungry, I can't just go to a cafe everyday you know, who gave you that idea"

"Err professor, no-one knows where Bender is, Fry just told us that Bender ran off last night" Leela pointed out "You can't fire Fry for something Bender did"

"Wha, who are you, I didn't order any cyclops into my office, and even if I did, I certainly wouldn't order one with purple hair, if Fry doesn't want to be fired then I suppose he should go find this Bender you speak of and I might reconsider, but then again I might not"

"But I don't know where he is" Fry cried

"I don't care, find him within 24 hours or i'll have you put through university" The professor threatened

"OK, OK i'll find him, please anything but that"

"Fry mon, if you want to find Bender, just have that awful lobster Zoidberg sniff something Bender touched and then sniff him out" Hermes recommended

"Wow Hermes, since when did you start giving 'useful' advice?" Amy asked

"Ever since I was sentenced to 300 hours community service for growing... plants in my garden."

"Alright that's enough talking for one meeting, i'm bored" With that the professor fell asleep and his chair automatically floated off the ground and took him out of the room.

The other 4 Planet Express employees got up and did there usual stuff, Amy went to paint her nails on the sofa in the lounge, Hermes went back to his office to stamp several papers, only to then have them put through the paper shredder and have them molted into clean paper again (it's a Hermes thing), Leela went straight under the ship and began fixing up any parts that were damaged from the last suicidal delivery, Fry followed Amy to the lounge to watch TV.

After 12 minutes of 'Everybody Loves Hypnotoad' Fry suddenly remembered the horrific thought... Zoidberg! He was still at Fry's apartment. Fry jumped up off the couch surprising Amy into a small squeal causing nail varnish to spill all over her trademark pink sweatsuit, she cursed in chinese as Fry walked off. Fry had dashed into the larger room of the Planet Express building that was home to the ship, he spotted Leela clad with a welder's mask and a suit to protect against sparks, the professor had designed the suit himself since one of his previous employees burst into flames after coming into contact with the sparks from the ship.

"Leela, hey" Fry shouted over while walking towards her

Leela removed the welder's mask and looked over at the approaching redhead. "Oh hi Fry what's wrong you look a little flushed?"

"You gotta help me Leela, we need to get Zoidberg outa my apartment, he might, oh god I don't wanna think about what he could have done"

"Yeah thinking about things never was one of your strong spots" Leela said slyly

"Can you please come with me, I swear i'll do anything for you if you help me get Zoidberg out"

Leela couldn't help but smirk as Fry was completely oblivious as to the fact that she had just insulted his thinking power "Fry I would help you but this ship needs to be fixed, these holes aren't going to close themsleves"

"Alright then i'll sleep at your apartment from now on" Fry suddenly smiled

Leela suddenly stood up "Alright let's go kick that Lobster's ass outa your place"

Fry kept his smile as he got what he wanted (either option would have worked for him, his apartment or Leela's, though he would have preferred the latter)

Alright payback time on Zoidberg, (unless he's had the apartment shipped off to another country) sorry it took so long for this chapter. Remember that this is based before the events of 'Into the Wild Green Yonder' for storyline purposes and my story wouldn't make sense if it was set after :/

Stay tuned for chapter 4! You all wanna see Zoidberg get his ass kicked right?
