Disclaimer: I do not own Futurama
This is the second chapter I posted today and I am glad because at the Trading Card Game tournament I went to today I haven't won a single game. If you feel like rooting for me to beat them next time I will be glad to learn about that.
" Welcome to our Planet Express. My name is Goose."
"Hello Goose" said the Professor, " you'll make a valuable member of our team. Go with Bender and Leela for your first delivery adventure."
Goose did a little twirl of victory. Goose tells them he wants to endorse their company for The Harlem Globetrotters.
" Harlem Globetrotters? Why?"
Goose explains if he goes on a mission with Leela and Bender, whatever money he makes for his team goes to Planet Express.
" That sounds fine."
Goose goes on his first adventure. It sounded like fun. They can go to that planet Leela and Bender went to in Law and Oracle. Goose wouldn't go to that planet. Bender tells him if he doesn't go to the planet he will throw a sandwich at him. Goose wondered if he was getting him right.
Leela tells him ,"If you want to endorse us, do the mission."
Goose felt that made sense. So Goose goes ahead with the mission. Leela was happy he could see things her way. Leela and Bender ordered Goose to deliver the package. Goose would of course deliver it.
Goose delivers the package that had lots of valuables in it.
But delivering the package felt like a little girl saying she didn't want it. The girl gives the package to her family. Then they go back to Planet Express, where Goose does a commercial for the company.
" You ever wonder who delivers your mail? Or how long it takes to get to your house? Wonder no more as Planet Express is here to help you."
Goose can also say Planet Express is for the American working man, because that's who they care about! Then Darren and Trenna call them for an update on Fry.
" Well Fry is able to walk again."
But he won't be home for another week. That was sad news. So they decided to have Goose still be Fry's replacement. Where he will continue to do missions with Leela and Bender and do commercials.
He felt surprisingly okay with it. Goose is actually enjoying his time at Planet Express. They were fun people. Goose wished he could've stayed longer but he knew he couldn't. He said his goodbye to the crew. Little did he know there was news of a meteor.
Farnsworth says, "would you like to join us for one last mission?" Goose gladly accepts. Believing this could be a one bold move to make himself be a hero!
" I'm glad to have you work for me again."
Goose goes into the Planet Express Ship with Bender and Leela. And Goose eliminates the meteor that was headed to Earth. Goose was declared a hero and Linda and Morbo reported him on the news.
" Good job. That meteorite won't be crashing into earth."
Goose gets a medal they go their separate ways. Goodbye for now Goose they said to him. Goose goes back to the Globetrotters. They had a spinning basketball with his name on it.
Thanks to the endorsements, Planet Express became a growing company. Their success called for a party. But they longed for Fry to be there. Poor ol Fry. Leela called Trenna and Darren to call the hospital in Denver. Trenna answered it.
Trenna said Fry should be home in two days. So Farnsworth gave everyone two days off before Fry comes back.
" I'm going to the strip club. Woo!" Bender cheered.
Bender also celebrates Fry's comeback by getting drunk and partying. He drinks a lot of beer even if he achieved nothing. Three days later Fry comes back. He waved to his friends whom were happy to have him back.
" What up everyone! I'm back in business!" Exclaimed Fry.
And Fry hoped he could stay for a long time. They all welcomed Fry back and he says his experience in the hospital was terrible because he was away from his friends.
" Want me to give you a makeover?" Any asked.
Fry gladly accepted. He could use something for his nails. The Planet Express Crew took him to that Bubbling Geezer spa. It was the only spa that eliminated people's age. But they were there to make Fry feel better.
Good friends to Fry. Fry enjoyed his time at the spa. He personally related to the fat men who go to the spa. After his time at the spa, Fry was back in action.
He had his red jacket on and his white shirt that almost told people " I Like Donuts."
The shirt also had a pink doughnut on it. It was a yummy looking shirt. They tell Fry of the time Goose replaced him.
" Wow. That's interesting."
They show Fry the commercial he did.
" Hello all you people. My name is Goose. Tired of inefficient delivery companies? Then you should try Planet Express! Where getting your delivery is a (jumps into the air and makes a basket) slam dunk! VO: paid for by the Harlem Globetrotters but this ad does not express the opinions of Planet Express. You results with Planet Express may vary.
It was just as big as an average commercial. Fry was astounded by the commercial and feels bad that they had fun with a sports player without him. He was alive years before sports changed so much. But he wasn't shocked that sports players do anything to stay in the public eye. It was that way in his timeline and it was that way in the future.
Farnsworth has a mission for them!
" Good news everyone. Your going to be delivering boxes with eyes."
" Eyes? You mean eyes from humans? Cool!" Exclaimed Bender!
" What alien's need those eyes?" Fry asked.
" The aliens on that planet have no eyes." Stated the professor.
Leela knew what troubles having eye problems could be. She can relate. So Leela decides to give some advice to the residents. She of course didn't blast off to their planet yet.
Leela inspected the eyes and Bender says, " still looking for a double set of eyes, eh?"
Leela gave him her deadliest evil eye. They all board the ship to go forth on the mission.
At the meantime Trenna and Darren were in a different location. They were heading to a moon that belongs to the planet Planet Express was handing too. They didn't know Trenna and Darren were going to be back in their lives again. For now they could only focus on their mission and the crewmates already aboard.
Trenna and Darren also had a delivery crew with them. They were lucky they found this crew. Their names were Lt. Murkey, Captain Murkey's cousin. (mentioned on the episode The Sting) Nella, Sally the three eared girl's long lost older sister, and Jetty, Scruffy's apprentices' brother.
Were they the best crew in the world? The answer was Trenna and Darren could do worse. Trenna and Darren hired them because they seemed to be the best. Especially Nella and Jetty. Nella, Jetty, and Murkey were a little different from the Planet Express crew.
Different some would wonder just from looking at them. Fry, Leela and Bender reached their destination first. Leela was ordering them now on how to move their delivery. Fry and Bender along with Leela proceed with the delivery.
It seemed that Fry despite only recently getting out of the hospital was doing the lifting. Bender was making him do that to toughen him up, but Fry could barely lift it.
" Bender...help."
Bender tells Fry to solder it out then Fry drops the box and pukes. Leela felt really sorry for Fry now. Fry was on the ground as Trenna and Darren's crew pass by thinking Planet Express is pathetic. Trenna and Darren themselves remembered Fry from New New York. They couldn't just leave him lying on the ground so they helped him get back on his feet.
" Good to see you again, guys." Boasted Leela.
Trenna and Darren looked delighted to see her too. Darren says their crew is better as Bender carries Fry back into the ship.
" I'm captain of the greatest delivery service you can ask for."
" Oh, really? Think you're better than us now that you have your own company?" Said Bender.
" From what we heard from you robot you don't really care about other people."
" Damn proud of that!" Said Bender.
" Some people wished robots could be more compassionate about people. Ignorant designers made the dumb robot." Said Trenna.
" I was made in Mexico!" Boasted Bender.
" Mexico? How many other countries became advanced with technology?" Darren said aloud.
" Lets see, Japan, China, India, America, and the list goes on." said Bender. " And be careful what you say about my fellow Mexicans!" Warned Bender.
They were warned. Trenna and Darren got the message. And they knew in their hearts Bender was kind of messed up. They go to their destinations where they do the deliveries. It felt like they were walking towards a birthday party. Indeed it sounded like one. The boxes however didn't have anything found at a birthday.
It was a different kind of party. One the crew wouldn't be a part of. Trenna and Darren were invited but the Planet Express Crew wasn't.
" We'll save you some cake," Trenna said.
" We will throw it in your face," said Bender.
" Someday keep that robot under control," Trenna said.
" Don't know if we can do that." Said Fry.
Trenna smacked her hand against her face.
" What? You just let that robot control and walk all over you?" Darren shouted.
" We let him cut Fry's throat with a glass shard," Leela said.
" Bloody mess I tell ya!" said Fry.
Darren didn't want to think about the long and hard recovery Fry went through. And yet they felt bad for Planet Express for having a maniacal robot working for them. Time went by and it was just Trenna and Darren's crew making final deliverance measures.
As was Planet Express.
Trenna wondered why a crew asked to leave stayed. They stay so they can be rebellious and defiant or get those pay checks. Trenna felt delivery was changing just from nothing she does finishing this delivery.
Darren and Trenna finish their mission first. Will friends become bitter rivals? That was for the Planet Express to figure out alone because they left in lightspeed. Leela tries to catch up to them to talk to them about why they're acting so competitive.
" We are sorry Leela," Darren said. " We didn't mean to be, but that robot of yours brought out bile in our hearts that wanted to hurt him."
" Way to go Bender! You made us lose Darren's and Trenna's respect!" said Fry.
" Sure, blame the robot anytime someone turns against you," responded Bender.
Bender of course did do something badder than he cared to admit but he had a way of both feeling sad and making them try to fix that.
" Hope you're proud of yourself," said Leela.
" You all know ol Bender like me. When have I never been proud of myself?"
" You're full of yourself!" said Fry.
Fry said something everyone else knew. They go back to Planet Express feeling ashamed. The only ones who weren't ashamed were the ones who barely fly with them on their missions. Trenna and Darren have fun at the party but Planet Express had no reason to celebrate.
Fry was the optimistic one and even he couldn't find a way. Leela and Bender wonder if they're ever going to be friends with Trenna and Darren again.
Meanwhile Trenna was wondering something to herself. Will they remain friends with Planet Express? None of her other crewmates except Darren cared and Darren was too busy trying not to be persuaded by the pretty girls of his crew trying to stuff him. Trenna warns him that Darren is supposed to be dating her. Darren insists he has a right to look at other girls too.
She puffed her cheeks out very angry. Darren kept reminding her that she was the only girl for him. He grabbed her shoulders and kissed the back nape of her alien body.
Then she was convinced. Convinced who he truly was in love with. He loved her and she loved him. Let's not be like Fry and Leela said Trenna. Yes, I recall how doubtful they were of each other said Darren.
That was a promise they would remind each other to keep. And that they do. They laugh about Fry getting rejected by Leela. She was kind of blind to reject him though.
Back to the Planet Express Crew, they were heading back to Professor Farnsworth.
" Welcome back everyone." Said Farnsworth.
" Hi Professor," said Fry to his really great nephew.
" Got another mission for us or do we get to go home?" asked Bender.
Professor Farnsworth sent them all home. Trenna and Darren were headed back to Denver. Fry and Bender hit the robot strip club to celebrate. Fry of course didn't know when the robots were suppose to be erotic. Bender told Fry that it's not a human strip club. None of the robots were even paying attention to Fry.
Fry wanted to go to a human strip club, and Bender says they will later. When Bender says later for anything he usually just doesn't do anything. As much of a good friend Bender is, he's never been reliable.
Much later,
Leela was reading to kids at the Orphanarium, Hermes was going home to his wife and son. Amy was on a date with Kiff where they were on a stagecoach going around Central Park.
They were a trio of busy people.
Trenna and Darren went about their lives in Denver. They were walking holding each others hands. They gazed into each others eyes and kissed in the sunset.
A/N: Here's some self-criticism on my part. First this story didn't take twenty years to think of like a great director I know, just I asked a friend if we could work on this fanfiction and that author said yes. There were parts I enjoyed writing but felt some parts weren't flushed out enough. If you like my story you earned a place on my friend list if not that's okay. This story probably won't even be discovered a lot since it isn't anything spectacular in my eyes.
Like all my stories there will be more soon and let's all write stories one day at a time.
