Well it's been a long time since I posted a fan fiction so, here's my newest one, hope you all like it.

Looking outside, the sun Shone through the windows of Planet Express. Leela sighing in despair leant against the warm wall in the lounge as she watched people roam the streets heading to their destinations. As she gazed outside, she suddenly jumped in fright as Bender burped out fire he then threw his beer to the corner of the room. Leela frowned as she watched Bender and Fry who were spewed across the sofa watch TV. She then turned to Amy who was sitting dabbing blusher to her cheeks. Once again turning to the window she watched people go by. Rolling her eye she stepped up and walked to the door of the lounge and once again watched what everyone was doing. Frowning, Leela folded her arms and shook her head. “ Are you guys gonna’ be sitting here all day doing nothing? ” Leela was replied to by a nod from each member in the room. Rolling her eye Leela grabbed the TV remote, turned the TV off and threw the remote out the window, with a faint scream heard outside afterwards.

“Hey, why the hell did you do that?” Bender shouted getting up from the sofa, “because Bender your sitting here all day drinking beer, when instead you could be outside”. “ Hey you know what your right, I’ll just go outside and drink beer how’s that”, “To be honest Bender I don’t care it’s better for us all to be outside than cooked up in here”. “Hey Leela” Amy added interrupting, “ You do know your gonna; have to pay for that”. “ To be honest Amy I don’t care, now get up Fry” Leela shouted kicking the sofa. “ Hey, why have I got to get up?, I have a reason why I’m here?” Fry replied sipping some more beer, “ And why’s that?” Leela asked sharply, “Cause, the professor asked me and Bender to stay here”. “ That’s no excuse Fry” Leela snapped grabbing the beer from his hand, “ You need some fresh air, I’m sick of being stuck in here waiting for a delivery I want to get out and do something”. “ Aw, Leela calm down tell you what why don’t me and you go for some shopping just now”. Leela thought for a second before turning to Bender who was finishing off a cigar and then Fry who was sitting daydreaming. “Yeah, let’s go anything’s better than being stuck in here”. As they headed out Leela placed the bottle of beer on the table nearby and stopped suddenly as she stepped on a piece of glass on floor. Frowning she turned to Bender, “ Bender get rid of all these bottles it’s a mess”, “What ever Eyeball”. “ And Fry get up and do something”, “Leela I already told you I have a reason to sit here the professor told me to wait on something”.

Shaking her head Leela stormed out the room with Amy. Rubbing his nose Fry gulped down some more beer and watched as Bender picked up the bottles of empty beers he then carried them to the window were he threw them out with a few faint screams being heard afterwards. Bender then walked away briskly brushing his metallic hands. “ Hey Bender what did the professor want us to wait for?” Fry was replied with a shrug from Bender, Fry sighed and continued to drink his beer but before he took his first gulp a huge crashing noise was heard from the professor lab. Fry quickly threw down his beer and ran to the professors lab with Bender following. “ What the hell was that?” Fry added as they reached the lab. As they looked around pieces of shattered glass lay around the room with books and umpteen papers lying around. “Where the Professor” Fry said quietly as he kneeled down to pick up some papers. Looking at the papers Fry scrolled down looking at unusual drawing as what looked like alien language. “Meat bag over here!” Bender shouted from the corner of the room. Throwing down the papers Fry ran up to Bender who was holding the professors glasses, as they looked down they gasped as to what they saw. A pile of grey ash lay on the floor. “The Professors dead” Fry shouted in shock brushing his hand through the ashes, “But what caused it”. Bender eyes then suddenly widened as he pointed to something behind Fry. Turning round Fry gasped as a huge 6ft tall machine stood before him. Fry examined it for a moment before reading the notice at the top of the machine, “It looks like an elevator, Wait what does that say”. Fry looked closely and brushed away dust from the notice. “Time machine” he read. “ Pfft, the professor has already created a time machine what’s the point in creating another” Bender added. Fry examined a large red button in front of him, it had a logo of the professors face on it. Fry pushed the button and jumped in fright as the doors suddenly shot open, Fry and Bender then peeked inside looking all around. A large shining light Shone from within slightly blinding them. Fry and Bender suddenly looked at each other in amazement. “You go first meat bag”, “ What I’m not going in there”, “ Just go” Bender shouted pushing him in. “ But what about the professor” Fry added pointing to the ashes. “ Agh, we’ll get him later”, “ But he’s dead Bender”, “No he’s not I’ve seen this before, he’ll turn back later”, “What?” Fry asked. “Shoosht now lets see”. Bender examined the controls in front him.

Large metallic numbers from 1 to 0 lay in front of him, with two buttons with future and past written on them and a small screen to show the numbers. “Hey we can go back in time in this thing” Bender added rubbing his chin. “Maybe we should just leave this Bender you know what happened last time”, “ Ah! Shut up meat bag hmmm…” While Bender thought for a minute Fry wiped some sweat from his head. Bender suddenly pressed the future button hard and both of them felt the machine shake violently. Fry then leant against the wall trying to get balance while bender stood still waiting. The machine then suddenly stopped sending Fry forward onto the ground of the machine. The doors then suddenly shot open with some dust and smoke flowing around. Making Fry cough. Getting him self up Fry brushed dust from his clothes before stepping out of the machine with Bender. As Fry took his first step from the machine he noticed they were still in the professors lab, he then jumped as a large squeaking noise was heard from under his foot. As he looked down a small pink teddy bear lay on the ground, he picked the bear and looked at it before noticing some more kids toys all around. “ Hey what the hells going on” Bender added, “ What’s with all the toys”, “ don’t know Bender” Fry replied slowly stepping around the them. Looking round the room Fry noticed the year on the professors calendar, “3015”. “ Bender we’ve travelled forward 4 years”, “ What shut up meat bag” Bender shouted at the other end of the room. “ But look” Fry said pointing to the calendar. Bender walked up to the calendar and looked. All of a sudden a small childish voice was heard from behind them, “Daddy..” Fry and Bender slowly turned they’re heads and screamed in fright as a small freckled faced red haired girl with one eye, stood in front on them clutching a bear. Fry and Bender looked at each other in shock, as the small girl gave them a warm smile.

Fry and Bender suddenly ran passed the small girl and towards the time machine and started pressing the red button ferociously. Fry watched as the young girl turned round to looks at them, “ Daddy where you going” she added slowly walking towards Fry. “Why is she calling you Daddy” Bender shouted,” How do I know”. “ Daddy wait” the little girl shouted to Fry, “ Open up “ Fry screamed still pressing the button. The doors then suddenly shot open and Bender jumped in, “ Get in Meat bag” Bender screamed at Fry who was looking around the room, “ Hey where’d she go”, “ Get in” Bender shouted pulling Fry in. Bender then pushed the future button and the machine’s doors shut quickly. As the machine moved Bender and Fry stood trying to get their breather back. “ What the hell was all that about” Bender asked Fry who was leaning against the wall breathing. “ I don’t know “ Fry replied shaking his head, “ she called you ‘Daddy”, “ I know Bender”, “ but who was she” Bender asked. “ Look, Bender how the hell do I…”. “ Daddy…”. They screamed in fright jumping to the corner of the machine. Fry and Bender suddenly looked at each other in shock as the same girl stood in the corner of the machine.

I'm really sorry but I only got halfway through before I got distracted and had to answer the phone....I'll print the whole thing off and read it through properly later.



Loved the "threw the remote out the window, with a faint scream heard outside afterwards" part though LOL

That was a good read, I liked it and found it funny. I think it's quite hard to write visual comedy because obviously reading about it doesn't quite give you the same effect as seeing it happen, but you did a good job on it. When I read through it I got a good picture in my head of exactly what was happening (the bit with the remote and faint scream that Gazereths mentiond was a particular highlight lol )
Good little surprise ending too, keeping us in suspense. Could Fry be a dad?! DUN DUN DUN!


Nice work :thumbup1:

Well here's part 2, sorry took so long to post it!

Fry and Bender stood in shock as this one eyed girl stood before them. She brushed dust from her pink frilly dress clenched her bear and gave Fry and Bender a warm smile. Fry who was standing at the other end of the time machine turned to Bender giving him a surprised look. “Daddy, what’s wrong?” the little girl asked quietly walking towards him, “Don’t call me daddy” he shouted stepping away from her. “Well, what do you want me to call you”, “anything but daddy!” he snapped jumping behind Bender.
The little girl watched as her father squeezed behind his friend “But, but you are my daddy” “I’m not your daddy” he shouted waving his hand s in the air .“Hey stop shouting at her meat bag she’s only a kid”

“Bender watch it” Fry screamed as Bender pulled him away from the back of him. Looking up Fry noticed the girl stretching out give him a hug he then leapt up from the ground and crawled into the corner, and watched as the girl burst into tears. “Aw. Now look what you’ve done, she’s not gonna’ stop ” ,“ Okay, kid what’s your name?” he asked putting his arm around her. The girl looked up slightly at Bender and wiped tears away from her eye, “ Uncle Bender you know my name” she replied giggling, “ Uncle Bender?” The little girl giggled some more and smiled at him, “my names Alice”, “and who’s your mum?” Fry asked cowering in the corner. “ Isn’t it obvious” Bender said sarcastically. “um my mum’s names Leela”. “Leela!, you mean we actually end up together properly” ,“ Look meat bag never mind that, how we gonna’ get her back we can’t go home with her” . “ I told you Bender we shouldn’t have done this”, “ ah, shut up meat bag” Bender stood up and sat in the corner like Fry. He opened the door on his body and pulled out a beer gulping it down as they sat.


“Well, we’re gonna’ have to do something Bender we can’t keep her here”, “Shoosh!” Bender snapped drinking his beer. Fry huffed and leant against the wall and examined the surroundings in the machine. “Daddy, when are you take me to that party that you promised I could go to?”. “ Huh, what?” Fry replied coming out of his gaze “When are you going to take to that party, daddy?”, huffing Fry rolled his eyes and stood up, “Look, kid you gotta’ stop calling me daddy, okay”. “ Well what do you want me to call you”, “Anything but daddy” he replied putting his hands in his pockets. “ Hmmm, How about stupid face” she added giggling, “What no” “ Well, then why don’t I call you daddy?”

Alice added smiling at hi,. Rubbing his head Fry just gave a nod, “ Yeah fine” “Yay!” she cheered jumping in happiness. “ What, no I just said..” by this time Alice immediately ran up to Fry and gave him a hug. “Hey get off” he shouted shaking his leg. As Bender relaxed in the corner drinking his beer, the machine had suddenly stalled, the doors then shot open and clouds of dust swept around making Fry cough. Bender popped his head the time machine and noticed not much had changed. “ Hey, we’re still in the professors lab” “Hey kid you gonna’ get off me for a second” Fry asked Alice who was still hugging him, “Sorry Daddy” she added following him out of the time machine. The three of them stood in line looking around the professors lab. “ Hey nothing’s changed, did we travel forward at all?” Fry asked turning to Bender. Bender shrugged and started to light a cigar. As Fry looked around little Alice followed him. Fry noticed something on the desk and stopped and felt something bump into his leg. As he looked down he rolled his eyes as Alice stood smiling at him. “Look, kid do me a favour and go back into the machine” , “Okay Daddy” she replied heading inside the machine “ And don’t call me daddy” , “Okay daddy” she added making Fry roll his eyes. As Fry stood huffin, Bender scrolled his eyes around the room.

He pulled open one of the professors drawers and rummaged through looking for something to steal and stopped as he noticed a photo. His eyes widened as he picked it up. “Meat bag look at this” “What is it” Fry asked looking up at Bender. As Fry and Bender stared at the photo a voice from behind made them, jump in fright. “FRY!”. Both of them turned round and gasped as Leela stood before them. “Where the hell have you been?” she shouted folding her arms, “Did you get those 6 boxes of non fattening ice cream I asked for?”. Fry and Bender just gazed with thir mouths wide open “ Fry” Leela snapped pushing him. “ Leela, your pregnant!” , “Why? Is that so surprising” Leela added sharply. As Bender and Fry were being confronted by Leela, little Alice stuck her head out of the machine looking for her mother. “ Mummee?” . “ Alice is that you” Leela shouted looking around the room. As Leela moved about Bender grabbed Fry by the arm and dragged him back to the machine. The doors then shut quickly with Leela banging from the outside. “Quickly press 3011 and get us home” Fry shouted pushing Alice away who was trying to hug him. Bender immediately pressed the 'back' button and the numbers 3,0,1,1. The machine started to shake violently and sent Fry forward to the ground. “Watch the kid” Bender screamed grabbing Alice. “ Bender we can’t take her with us”, “ I don’t care, she’s your kid you deal with her” . “ But how am I gonna explain this to the others” Fry shouted grabbing onto a handle in the machine. “ Don’t care”. After a few seconds the machine stopped and the doors shot open sending Fry to the ground again. “ Bender wait” he screamed getting up from the ground. “ She’s your kid” , “But how am I gonna’ explain this to Leela”, “Don’t care meat bag” Bender snapped leaving the room. As Fry stood bewildered, little Alice turned round and smiled as she caught a glimpse of the ship. She placed her bear down at the side and made her way towards the ship. Huffing Fry sat down on a stool nearby, and wiped sweat away from his head before he realised that Alice was gone. He shot up from the chair and glanced around the room, before hearing a shuffling sound near the ship. He gasped and ran down to the ship to look for Alice.

She placed her bear down at the side and made her way towards the ship.

I read "beer" the first time. lol

I liked it. Personally I'm really fond of time travel stories. There's just one thing I don't get... How did Fry have a child with Leela during the 4 years in-between if Fry and Bender travelled forward? I mean it was 3011 when they left so technically they should have been missing during those 4 years.
