Normal day as usual, the crew had just finished a package delivery to the planet Jupiter 78. Now, Bender was laying his body onto Frys own, it took a while for the human to get used to but he's fine with having a heavy robot lay on him. The silence gave the bending unit time to think, it wasn't a usual occurrence and every thought or idea he had usually ended up with a horrible outcome. This time however, it wouldn't, he was sure of it this time.
For after a couple of hours or so, he, Bender Bending RodrÃguez, would finally be dead.
"Bender?" The human he was laying against suddenly spoke up, "Leela just came to say we need to go to the store, coming with?" The pure happiness in Frys voice made the robot feel guilty about his plan, but he wouldn't give it up, not when he thought it through so thoroughly. Shaking his head, Bender spoke, "Nah, I'll pass meatbag, but before you go, here have this one last thing to remember me by" He connected his mouthplate to Frys lips and the electric bond between them sparked with love. He parted from the small makeout session that Fry had almost started getting into with him and hugged him with an eye toll.
Of course, the meatbag thought that Bender was just playing around with him. The human got up and went with the purple haired mutant after blowing a passionate kiss towards the robot. Bender sighed with a sad smile, it was now or never. He got up, taking a pen and paper as he wrote the note and hung it up to the wall beside the doorway with a thumbtack.
Tears started to fall from his eyes, this was the way it had to be, he can't turn back now. The bending unit marched out the door and found the nearest Suicide Booth.
Taking out his quarter, he unwrapped the string from it, there was no point in using it anymore. He entered the twenty-five cents and the booth beeped its usual, 'IN USE'
The female voice spoke up, "Thank you for choosing the Suicide Booth, please select mode of death; quick and painless or slow and horrible"
With one of his foot clamps tapping the floor in a impatient way, Bender sighed, he didn't deserve a painless way, not after all the crimes he had committed in his life and everything he ever did, "Slow and horrible please"
"You have selected; Slow and horrible, which method would like to use?"
"Whatever method works for robots I guess"
"Robot combo x10 is selected, for your own safety to die, we'll have to make sure you can not escape"
"Bite my shiny metal ass..."
The machine then locked the Suicide Booths door while also putting an unbendable metal bar against the outside of it. Shackles sneaked their way around Benders ankles and held him down to the floor. A red light blared as Bender shed tears with closed eyes, the pain soon becoming unbearable. It was torturous.
"You are now dead"
When the crew got back home, the first thing Fry did was look for Bender. All he found was the note he left, he started to read it aloud,
"Dear meatbags,
I assume you are wondering where I, the great Bender, is? Well, first of all, why would you even care besides Fry? Anyways, besides that, I suppose I should tell you, huh?
To tell you the truth and be honest to you all, I haven't been doing real well lately, and no I don't have some sort of robot cold or a robot sickness, I mean mentally, I don't want to continue and that's why, I'm committing suicide for real this time
When you find this, I'll be dead already, there's nothing you can do to help me at this rate, my body will already be dealt with by the booth and you know I have no backup unit, I'm truly sorry, a little weird to hear that from me of anyone, but it's true...I just-
I can't continue on, I can't, no matter how much I try I always want to bash myself in with a mallet, be destroyed by a can opener, not drink until I run out of fuel, or just let myself die by being thrown around and hurt without you all noticing like it normally happens...
Fry, I want you to know, I tried and I tried, I couldn't do it, I wanted to stay strong for you but I failed, I always fail and I'm sorry I can't be there with you anymore, I love you so much, I really do
I'm so so so sorry...I was a mistake to begin with and I'll be remembered as a mistake now that I've ended
Sincerely, your "Friend", Bender Bending RodrÃguez"
The Planet Express crew could only stand still with their mouths agape and tears falling. A clank was heard and Fry rushed over to where the noise came from. There was his boyfriends and best friends body with a detached head. Wires stuck out from where his neck was om his head and on the body, many parts were torn off and patches were heavily destroyed so you could see inside of Benders metal casing. The once lively yellow eyes of Bender were now hollow lifeless black ones, no emotion or soul in them whatsoever. The human noticed the foot shackles and started to cry heavily, hugging his boyfriend the way he used to.
Bender wanted this, Fry could of saved him if he were there, like he saved him when they first met. That didn't happen. After a while the sobs subsided into hiccups from everyone and the human bonked his head against Benders metal forehead with a sad smile.
He was free now, Fry was sure that Bender was having the fun of a whole lifetime in the robot afterlife.
