Chapter 3: Zoidberg's comeuppance

Fry and Leela took the quickest route to Fry's apartment, it took a mere 6 minutes compared to Fry taking 14 minutes to get 'to' work that same morning.

As they entered the Robot Arms Building, Leela suddenly scowled "Why did I ever agree to this, if we die on the next delivery because I was too busy doing this to make a repair to the ship, i'll make sure you know how much of your fault it was"

She didn't actually realise how much she had just hurt Fry's feelings until she saw it on his face. He had turned his head down and looked pretty upset, Leela figured she might as well apologise, no need to hurt Fry when he hasn't done anything wrong.

As the elevator door closed to take them up, Leela used a soft, warm voice " I'm sorry Fry, I shouldn't have gotten mad at you, it's not your fault, it's that dumb, gross lobster, no I really am sorry"

Fry was slightly shocked and looked up, his eyes wider than usual, his downbeat posture changed to an upright stand, he had never really heard Leela say she was sorry like that before, it meant a lot to him though, so he accepted the apology and told her not to worry about it.

In a short amount of time the elevator binged and they reached the 30th floor. Leela couldn't remember which apartment was Fry's despite her being there for his Birthday not long before, she could never get her head around how many apartments were on each floor so she forgot everytime which one belonged to Fry and Bender. She decided not to waste thinking time and simply let Fry lead. Apartment 00100100, Fry was about to press the button on the door when he noticed that it didn't leave a dirty mark on his finger like usual, as soon as the door opened and they walked in they were both absolutely gobsmacked.

"Welcome to Apartment El Zoidberg, customers looking to buy space in here please come this way" Zoidberg had a happy-go-lucky smile about him.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE" Fry excalimed "My apartment, it's, it's"

"Clean?" Leela interrupted

"Well as you should have already realised a home owner like myself has the great opportunity of renting pieces of property out to others, so i'm letting all of these people stay here, as long as they pay me food and clean the apartment." exclaimed Zoidberg

It was true, the apartment was absolutely spotless and was filled with around 11 people all crammed in and apparently living in their own space.

"Ok the food part I can understand but why would you care if this place is clean?" Leela puzzled

"Ahh, a crafty consumer ehh, well you see my dear, the property branch of El Zoidberg Apartments has a reputation to uphold so in order to sell space out I need the place to look good, it all makes sense really" Zoidberg said with a seemingly endless knowledge of how to manage property.

"I don't even have the time to understand this, and honestly I don't care, just get yourself and these people outta here" Leela shouted

"NEVER!" Zoidberg screamed in retaliation

Amazingy, and to Leela's surprise it looked like Zoidberg was actually going to put up a fight for the apartment so she quickly told Fry what to do while she dealt with Zoidberg.

Fry went over to the 11 or so people all spread around the room and told them that they actually couldn't live there and convinced them all except one to leave.

While Fry was doing that Leela flipped Zoidberg over onto his back, kicked him in the side and ordered to go back to the Planet Express building, Zoidberg looked like he got the message and crawled out of the apartment.

"Umm Leela we still got one here" Fry called over

One man had refused to leave the apartment even after seeing what Leela had done to Zoidberg. Without a second to hesitate, Leela picked up the man by his shirt carried him to the front door and hurtled him down the corridor. Fry looked on and was quite impressed.

Fry couldn't wait one second to talk about what just happened "Man that was awesome, did you see the look on that guy's face when you were pickin' him up, I swear he was gonna cry"

Leela looked at Fry, she couldn't help laughing a little "Yeh I guess it was pretty funny and when I started to throw him out he was so scared I almost felt sorry for him"

Fry was glad that Leela was joining in with his little reminiscense, they both talked about it and laughed for another few seconds. After they had stopped an awkward silence filled the room. Fry figured he might as well break the silence.

"So umm Leela you wanna have dinner with me tonight to celebrate this?" Fry was pretty sure an excuse was coming up.

Leela really didn't feel like being unfair to Fry and spoiling the moment with a big flat excuse to say no, so she decided to do something different "Well, I guess i'll think about it, but right now we've still got to find Bender before you get fired." She then thought to herself, *that wasn't so bad and who knows maybe it'll be fun, his birthday party was fun so I guess having dinner couldn't be the end of the world*

Fry was so amazed that the woman he had always wanted just said maybe, even if it wasn't a definite yes, it was still something and that was enough for Fry to be happy.
