Back to the Galaxy of Terror

[vonhammer]

Here's chapter 1 of my next fic. Please let me know what you think, and dont forget to offer suggestions and comments! and please keep them on-topic!

Chapter 1

Apt. 1I, NNYC
December 2, 3003 9:00 AM

It was a couple months since they’re last adventure, and since that time Fry and Leela were engaged and they were now living together in Leela’s apartment. Since Fry didn’t really have that much stuff, it was an easy move for him. The couple were both up and getting ready for the day.

Leela had already fed Nibbler his breakfast of Kibbles n’ Snouts, and now her and Fry were eating their breakfast as well, both having a bowl of Admiral Crunch. They ate quickly, and deposited both their bowls in the sink. They grabbed there coats and walked out of the door headed to Planet Express.

Planet Express, NNYC
December 2, 3003 9:15 AM

Fry and Leela came into the conference room, where everyone was present except for Bender and the Professor. They kissed, then took their seats next to each other.

“Where in Babylon is Bender?” Hermes Conrad said, scratching his head

“Well, Bender should be in around noon.” Fry said

“Ok den, let’s start today’s meeting….” Hermes said, droning on as everyone else fell asleep.

As Hermes finished his meeting an hour later, Professor Hubert Farnsworth entered the room, and said “Good news everyone!”

Everyone that was sleeping was suddenly awakened, and the Planet Express intern Amy Wong, actually fell off her chair, cursing in Chinese.

“What is it now Professor?” Leela said, yawning.

“Well we have a very special delivery to make! Oh my yes.”

“Where to?” Fry said

“Oh well you see we’ve been hired to take this person to the Zone of No Return.” Farnsworth said, gleefully. As he finished, a man entered wearing a brown leather jacket over a khaki blouse and pants. He also had on a brown fedora hat.

“Hi, I’m Dr. Henry Gates, of the Earthican Natural History Museum.”
Everyone exchanged curios looks as to why this man wanted to go to the Zone of No Return. And it was then that the bending unit known as Bender Bending Rodriguez entered, smoking a cigar and a having a beer in hand.

“Hey chumps and chumpettes. Who’s this chump?” Bender said, gesturing to Gates who had now taken a seat at the table.

“Bender mon, if don’t start comin to work on time, I’m gonna start dockin ya pay!” Hermes said, angry at the robot.

“So what? I can just steal what I need anyways.” Bender replied.

Hermes gave up and went to his office to fill out forms for stress relief.

“So where exactly is it that you want to go?” Leela said, slightly annoyed

“Have you heard of the legend of a city made entirely of gold?” Gates said, he was answered by blank looks on everyone’s faces. The professor then began typing something on the console in front of him, and a hologram a planet that looked like a mix between Amazonia and Trisol.

The professor began to speak, “ This is planet Mesopotamia 4, a brief history of this planet says that it was home to a highly advanced civilization, but sometime around the 22nd or 23rd century, there was some sort of phenomena and all life on the planet came to an end. One their capital city was their crowning achievement, since it was made entirely out of gold. There have been numerous expatiations, and not one has returned. “ the Professor said, after adjusting his glasses.

“A city of gold you say?” Bender said, intrigued by this prospect.

“That’s right, now I would like to get going as soon as possible.” Gates said a little impatient.

“Well you heard the organ sack, let’s go big boots!” Bender said as he began making his way down the steps to the ship.

“Now off you go!” The professor said and began shoeing Leela and Fry towards the ship. Reluctantly, Leela boarded the ship, along with Fry, Bender, and Dr. Gates.

“Hey can I go to Leela!?” Amy shouted, from the balcony.

Leela thought for moment, “Fine, one of the converters has been acting a little funny.” Leela said.

Leela turned to Fry, “Fry honey, will you run back to the apartment and get Nibbler? Just to be sure we don’t run out of fuel?” Leela said

“Aw, ok fine.” Fry moaned, as he trudged off to the door. He was back a half hour later with Nibbler on his leash, and he got in the ship.

“Is everyone ready?” Leela said. She was answered by various yes’s. The ship then shook, and then lifted vertically out of the hangar and blasted off into space.

[FryRulz]

Awesome very nice mate, like it.

[vonhammer]

Thanks. Just a note - this takes place after my MASH one, so Fry and Leela are engaged.

[Leela+Fry]

Nice! City of gold? Kinda like El Dorado?

[vonhammer]

Yea, something like that. this is it for a few days, i'm going to MIS tomorrow and wont have a pc. And i was thinking that a city of gold would defiantly get Bender's attention. But i do welcome any and all suggestions.

[Leela+Fry]

Bye :bighug: The city should have a race of golden people living in it secretly!

[vonhammer]

I was thinking about having the civ be influnced by the Nazis

[KingZoidberg]

put nazis in! its always better with nazis!

[Leela+Fry]

Nazis suck, don't put them in

[vonhammer]

well I was thinking about it because I am a pretty big history/WWII buff. And one of the legends of the Nazis was that Hitler had a secret stash gold hidden somewhere. I was also thinking about the city having a giant statue of Stephen Colbert, whom they worship and maybe Jon Stewart.

[Leela+Fry]

LOL That would be great, actually! Do it man!

[vonhammer]

Now i just need to get the motivation. and find the time. Zapp might also make an apperence as well. But i've been pretty busy lately and i might start work on the next part tomorrow.

[Leela+Fry]

Great! I'll be waiting

[vonhammer]

Small update

PE Ship, En-route
December 2, 3003; 3:00PM

The PE ship was now underway ferrying its passenger to his destination. Gates was busy taking a nap on the couch on the bridge, while Fry was at usual station and Leela was piloting the ship. Amy was down in the engine room, while Bender was in his cabin sleeping.

The silence was broken when the communication screen appeared.

“Incoming call from the Nimbus” said the ships computer.

Leela and Fry both looked at each other, knowing what was coming. The chubby face of one Zapp Brannigan appeared on the screen.

“Well well if it isn’t Leela. I knew you would be crawling back to the Zapper!” Brannigan said with arrogance.

“Zapp, I don’t have the time to deal with you. “ Leela said, angrily.

“Well I’m afraid you’ve entered restricted space, and I have to confiscate your ship and quarantine your crew. Or I will be forced to fire on you.” Zapp said, with an arrogant smile on his face.

“Ugh, fine.” Leela said in disgust.

It was then that Gates awoke from his nap with a puzzled look on his face when he saw the enormous starship the was the Nimbus grow larger in front of the view screen. He turned his read and faced Leela.

“Why are we being inspected by the DOOP?” he asked.

“Its no big deal. It’s just that that windbag wont ever leave us alone.” Leela answered.

She then hit a button and spoke into the intercom “Amy, Bender please come to the bridge.” She said. A few minutes latter, the door opened and Amy entered. She was busy washing her hands with a rag, and she had stains on her pink tracksuit. When she saw the figure that was the Nimbus approaching, she squealed for joy and nearly slipped.

“I get to see my Kiffy!” she said in her high-pitched voice. She then ran off the bridge to her cabin so that she could freshen up.

“What’s her problem?” Gates asked

“Oh her boyfriend is the second in command.” Leela said with a hint of annoyance.

“Fry, can I see you in my cabin?” Leela said, turning to the red-head.

“Uh sure.” Fry replied, getting up off his chair and followed Leela to her cabin.

Once she shut the door, Leela walked over to her dresser and picked up a gold ring from a jewelry box and handed it to Fry. Fry had a puzzled look on his face, then Leela explained her plan.

“Fry, what we’ll do is pretend that we’re married. Hopefully that will get him to lay off me for a bit.” Leela said.

“I think it’s a great plan honey. If he tries anything, I’ll punch that windbag in the face.” Fry said confidently.

“Oh Fry, you know I can kick his ass all day. But I appreciate the offer. Now lets give that idiot a big surprise.” Leela said, with a sinister grin on her face. She then pulled Fry into a kiss. He was startled at first then began to relax into it.

“Hey skin tubes! Stop that awful display of emotion, we’re here!” Bender said, poking his head through the door.

Fry and Leela broke the kiss, glared at the robot and they straightened they’re clothes. The PE crew and Dr. Gates walked down the steps and into the docking bay that was the Nimbus.

[Leela+Fry]

Zapp's finally gonna get what he deserves

[vonhammer]

and here it is.


As they exited the PE ship, they saw the landing bay was almost empty, and Leela noticed the unmistakable figure of Zapp Brannigan approach them. Following him was his lieutenant, Kif Kroker.

Amy immediately ran towards Kif, and the two went off to his cabin.

Leela sighed as Zapp came up to them. As he arrogantly walked up to Leela, he failed to notice the ring on her finger.

“Well no one can resist the Zapper. Now how about we go to the lovenasium.” Zapp said, with a grin.

“Actually Zapp, I’m married now.” Leela said, showing her ring. Zapp about had a heart attack.

“Married?! To who?!” Zapp managed to spit out.

“To me!” Fry said, grabbing Leela by the waist and pulling her into a kiss.

“YOU MARRIED HIM?” Zapp cried.

“Yes I did. And by the way Zapp, he’s a way better lover than you ever will be.” Leela said.

“Oh God! Leela how could you do this us?” Zapp cried, this time tears were starting to stream from his eyes.

“US? THERE NEVER WAS ANYTHING!” Leela shouted.

Fry couldn’t hold back, and finally balled his fist and threw a punch aimed right at Zapp’s nose. His punch was dead on, and it sent Zapp stumbling backwards hands on his nose, trying to stop the blood that was pouring out.

“Come on honey, lets blow this joint.” Fry said, with a grin.

Leela grabbed Fry’s arm and the two walked arm and arm into the ship, with Gates and Bender following.

[Leela+Fry]

YAY!!! Zapp finally got what he deserved!! You rock :D

[vonhammer]

and heres a small update

Chapter 2
PE Ship, Still En-route
December 2, 3003; 10:45 PM

A few hours have passed since the events on the Nimbus. After her session with Kif, Amy rejoined the crew and Leela left the Nimbus.

As of now, Leela was at the wheel and Gates was again on the couch, while Fry sat in his usual seat. Bender was sitting opposite him, while Amy was down in the engineering spaces. Leela yawned and stretched, then punched the intercom button.

“Amy will you come to the bridge?” Leela said

“Sure.” Came the reply

A few minutes later Amy was on the bridge.

“What is it Leela?”

“Will you take over? I think Fry and I are going to turn in for the night.” Leela said, looking at the young intern with a slight grin.

Fry turned around and yawned, unable to stay awake much longer.

“What did you say Leela?” Fry said

“What she said skin tube was that you two are going to go shot DNA at each other.” Bender said, taking a gulp of his beer.

“Huh?” Fry said confused at what the robot meant.

“Fry, just come with me ok?” Leela said. She got up from her seat and left the bridge, and Fry was shortly behind. After the couple left, Gates turned to face Amy.

“So what’s the story with those two?” Gates asked.

“Oh Fry and Leela? Well for about the better part of three years, Fry chased after her kept asking her out and she would continually break his heart.” Amy said

“And I had to deal with that meat bags crying all night about her.” Bender interrupted.

Amy glared at the robot then continued “Anyway, Fry would always be sacrificing himself for her sake, even though it seemed that she never returned the favor. Then a few months ago he wrote an opera for her, and after that they finally started dating, and then two months he proposed.” Amy finished.

“Well, that clears things up, but one thing still puzzles me, what’s her beef with Brannigan?”

“Oh she slept with him once, and now he wont leave her alone.” Bender said.

“Oh ok.” Gates said

At the same time in Leela’s cabin, her and Fry were getting ready for bed. Leela had on a pink see-through nightie, while Fry chose to sleep in just his underpants. They both laid down in the bed, and Leela gently nudged Fry and said “Fry, are you going to make love to me tonight?” She said seductively.

Fry answered with a snore, a sign that he was asleep, and once he was sleeping it was impossible to wake him up.

Leela sighed, a little up set that Fry was to tired for lovemaking. She then soon fell asleep too, tired from the activities of the day.

[Leela+Fry]

Awww :D Keep going, you've hit gold with this fic

[vonhammer]

thanks, when i was typing that last part, i figured that's what Fry would do.

[Leela+Fry]

I think so too!

[vonhammer]

ok, now i need some help on how to continue this

[Leela+Fry]

Hmmm.....

[vonhammer]

yes my thought exactly. I hate writers block

[Leela+Fry]

Me too. Once I had writer's block so bad, I turned out having to write the essay at the last minute

[KingZoidberg]

i just have a short attention span hen i write

[vonhammer]

Me too. Once I had writer's block so bad, I turned out having to write the essay at the last minute

I've had a few of those moments. And right now I'm starting to get back into the sims and that hasn't helped much.

[Leela+Fry]

Yeah, sims don't help much lol

[vonhammer]

nope. Now any ideas anyone???

[FryRulz]

Read it, and this is pretty awesome stuff.

[vonhammer]

thanks. any ideas?

[Leela+Fry]

Not at the minute.

[vonhammer]

Heres a short update.

Chapter 3

PE Ship, Galaxy of Terror.
December 4, 3003 10:45 AM

After the incident with Zapp, it was still another two days worth of travel to the Galaxy of Terror, then about another day to the planet Mesopotamia 4. For the past couple days, Leela had been feeling somewhat sick in the morning. Her first thought was that she might have gotten sick, but then she thought she might actually be pregnant, she let that thought pass, unable to comprehend that Fry could possibly be the father, and returned her attention back to the controls.
“Something wrong Leela?” Fry asked, turning to face her. His voice had an air of concern.

“No I’m fine. Really.” Leela answered. Fry returned to looking at his screen, although he still wasn’t convinced that Leela was all right.

Leela began to think about Fry and their relationship.

I guess everyone was right, he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. But would Fry be able to handle the duties of being a father?

You know he would do anything he could for you and the kid. Her conscience argued.

But I mean I just cant fathom that Fry could be a father.

He would do what it takes for you and your family.

But what if the child turns out to be a mutant like me?

Damnit, you know he would love it just as much as he does you. How many times has he ever once mentioned the fact that you’re a mutant?

Never. I guess it wouldn’t be so bad to have a family with him.

Leela’s thought was interrupted when Dr. Gates walked onto the bridge, he had with him a handled GPS unit, and a couple very thick books.

[Leela+Fry]

Nice! Love this update. Lots of realistic situations

[vonhammer]

heres a update before i go on vaction.


“What’s that for?” Fry asked looking at the stuff Gates was carrying.

“These are just some details about the planets history and its culture. And this little device will help us get back to the ship incase we got lost.” Gates said, pointing to the small device he was carrying. (It was about the size and shape of an iPhone).

“So what exactly is this planet supposed to be like?” Leela asked.

“Well I guess I could tell you a brief history of the place. Say where is that robot? He seemed quite interested in it.” Gates said

As if on cue, the door opened at Bender Bending Rodriguez entered, smoking one of seemingly endless supply of cigars.

“Hey meat bags, anything interesting happen that would have an impact on me, Bender?” Bender said smugly as he smoked.

“No, although Dr. Gates was about to tell us about that city of gold.” Fry said

“Well, I’ve got nothing better to do so lets hear it skin tube.” Bender said, he took his usual spot and set his foot cups on top the console and leaned back in his chair.

“The civilization that inhabits this planet was heavily influenced by the Nazis of the 20th century.”

“Who are they?” Leela asked

“Wait you don’t know?” Fry said, slightly confused

Leela shook her head.

“Mr. Fry I’d appreciate if you let me continue.” Gates said, a little annoyed at Fry’s interruption

“Sorry” Fry said and went back to listening to Gates.

“Anyway, the Mesotopians observed this group of people, and apparently what they saw impressed them. They observed them till the end of the Nazi regime in 1945, and returned home to report on what they saw. Their high council liked the proposals, and implemented them.

The Mesopotamians were also influenced by an American television personality known as Stephen Colbert.” Gates finished explaining.

“When are you going to get the part about the city of gold skin tube?” Bender said, while taking a puff on his cigar.

“I was just about there.” Gates said, casting a glare at Bender.

“During the reign of Stephen Colbert’s Head, he ordered that a city be constructed entirely of gold, as to show off they’re enormous amounts of wealth. Because of budget overruns and poor planning caused the Mesopotamians to abandon the project, the city ended up being about the size of the downtown area of New New York. Since the golden city nearly wiped out all of their finances, the civilization soon collapsed and chaos followed. The story of the golden city was eventually lost to legend, and no one is for sure it really exists.”

“So your saying this might just be some wild goose chase?” Leela said accusingly

“No, since I have with me a sample of the gold, here.” He picked up one the books and opened it. only to reveal that the inside was hollowed out and in its place was a standard-size gold brick. He picked it up and held it out so that all could see.

“Ooo shiny!” Fry said as became entranced with gold brick.

Bender’s attention was also captured not because it was shiny, but because of its potential value.

“So are you sure its from that city?” Leela said, still not convinced

“Yes I am, see this symbol here?” Gates said as turned it over to show a carving on the bottom. The carving had an bald eagle, with the words “Property of Stephen Colbert” engraved around the top of the eagle.

He passed it around allowing Fry and Leela to look at it. He was about to pass it to Bender when Leela stopped him.

“Uh I would hold off on letting Bender handle that.” Leela said, Gates looked at her confused, then Leela leaned over and whispered something in Gates’s ear. Gates nodded and put the gold bar back in its secure spot.

“Hey this outright discrimination against robots! Wait until the League of Robots hears about this! What’d you tell the meat bag big boots?!” Bender said angrily

“Just that you are a known kleptomaniac and most likely steal it.” Leela said smartly.

“How could you accuse me, Bender, of something like that?” Bender protested

“Well, this morning you stole my wallet.” Fry said

“So, that doesn’t make me, Bender, a kelpto!”
“Oh please Bender, you steal stuff all the friggin time!” Leela argued

Bender then began mocking her, and he soon found that Leela had her arm around him, near his on/off switch.

“Hey what do you think your doing!” Bender protested again, Leela flipped the switch and the robot powered down.

“There now he won’t cause us any more trouble.” Leela said returning to her seat.

“Was that really necessary Leela?” Fry said, with a hint of sadness

“You know what would have happened Fry, now just relax and let’s get on with the mission ok?” Leela said

“Yes captain.” Fry said as slumped back in his chair.

[Leela+Fry]

lol I liked the update, especially the part where Stephan Colbert's Head controlled an entire civilization

[vonhammer]

thanks, what can I say, I'm a huge colbert fan. Next update will be after the labor day weekend

[Leela+Fry]

I'll be waiting

[vonhammer]

well after the long weekend, i have finally managed to come up with this update. And for this part it is highly recommended that you watch the Mel Brooks movie Spaceballs.

if not heres the wiki - Spaceballs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceballs)

And heres the update. Enjoy!

Fry and Leela were the only ones on the bridge, well besides a non-
functioning Bender. Leela was silently piloting the ship, while Fry
was doing something on his console screen.

Since he had nothing better to do, Fry was going through some of the
files that were stored on the ship's computer. There was one file that
stuck out at him- it was dated during the time skips, so he clicked on
it. Fry gasped and about fell out of his chair.

Leela looked over at him, "you all right Fry?" she said with a hint of
concern in her voice.

"I'm fine, I want you to see this though." Fry said as he spun around
in his chair.

"What?"

"Just come here please."

Leela put the ship on autopilot and walked over to see what Fry had
found. She leaned over his shoulder and what she saw was the most
amazing thing she had ever seen, I LOVE YOU LEELA was written using
the stars themselves.

Leela began tearing up and she looked at the delivery boy who had a
smile across his face.

"Fry when did you do this?" she asked, attempting to hold back the tears.

"well remember during the time skips when we first got married?" Fry
said

Leela nodded in response.

"this is what I did to win your heart. I never tricked you-I would
never do anything like that." Fry said

Leela couldn't hold out any longer, and a flood of tears began flowing
down her cheeks.

"Oh Fry, I'm so sorry for everything I've ever done to you. Please
forgive me?" Leela said, still weeping.

Fry got up off his chair and held his fiancé. He then stroked her hair
and said " Leela, I could never be mad at you, by agreeing to be my
soon-to-be wife, that has more than made up for what you've done."

Leela pulled out of the hug and looked at Fry. Her tears had since
stopped, and she now had a sinister grin across her face.

"Fry, I want to make this up to you in a very special way." she said
with a seductive voice.

Fry was still completely oblivious to what she was planning.

"Like how? "

"Just follow me." Leela said and left the bridge, leaving the ship in
the hands of the auto pilot. She lead Fry to her cabin where they
proceeded to make love.

Dr. Gates was down in the galley reviewing some research data when he
heard the moaning sounds coming from somewhere else in the ship. He
looked up from his work and shook his head. He went back to his
previous task.

In her cabin, Amy was typing an email for Kif when she to herd Fry and
Leela making love.

"Ugh, can't they keep it to themselves?" she muttered to herself. She
went back to typing her email.

Back in their cabin, Fry and Leela were just finishing up, when the alarm started going off. The lights through out the ship switched automatically to a dim red. Leela immediately jumped out of bed, and quickly began putting her clothes back on.

“Fry stop staring at me and get your clothes on!” Leela said as she chucked Fry’s clothes at him, hitting him in the face.

“All right, all right.” Fry said as put his clothes on.

They kissed then left to the bridge where they found that Amy, Bender, and Dr, Gates were already present. Everyone looked at the couple, and it was pretty obvious what they had been up to earlier.

“What’s going on Amy?” Leela said, quickly making it clear she was the one in charge.

“Spaceballs.” Amy said

“Spaceballs?” Fry asked confused

“Spaceballs, probably one of the most wasteful and incompetent people in the universe. What they do no body really knows.” Gates answered

As Gates was speaking, the view screen began to show a very large ship, Spaceball 1.

Everyone stared in amazement at the enormous size of the ship. The only sound that could be heard on the bridge of the Planet Express Ship was the breathing of its crew.

“Neat!” Bender said, breaking the silence by taking a picture of the massive ship.

“Leela, you what me to get up in the turret?” Fry asked

“No, just stay here, I don’t want to give them a hostile impression.” Leela said

“Ok, but I’m sure we’ll get out of this.” Fry said, always optimistic. He gave Leela a hug, then went over to his seat and sat down.

As Leela sat down in the captains chair, the vidphone screen came down, announcing an incoming call. Leela put it on speaker and the image of Dark Helmet appeared.

“I am Dark Helmet. It appears that you have been trespassing in our space without proper authorization. Surrender or you will be captured.” Helmet said, taking a drink from a plastic cup.

“What do you mean trespassing? We aren’t anywhere near any restricted areas!” Leela protested

“Our sensors indicate otherwise. You see the DOOP as little authority out here and so we can do what we please.” Helmet said.

“Oh yeah? Well lets see you try and catch us!” Leela said. She ended the call and threw the ship into a 180 and gunned the engines. Because of the sudden movement, anything that wasn’t secured immediately went to the floor. But the move didn’t work as Leela had planned since instead moving away from Spaceball 1, they were now moving towards it, since they were now caught in their tractor beam.

“Great job big boots! Not only did you give whiplash, but now we are definitely boned!” Bender said angerliy as began rubbing his shiny metal ass.

“But Bender how can you have whiplash? You don’t have a neck!” Fry said, both worried and confused.

“Ass whiplash meat bag.” Bender said

“Nice going Leela, you really need to control your temper.” Amy said as she got up off the floor and went to a nearby seat.

“Hey Leela did what she thought was right so lay off her ok!” Fry said as went over to and stood behind her chair. He began to give her a message.

“Fry’s right lets just calm down and deal with it.” Leela said

[Leela+Fry]

lol Your fic seems to be funnier than terrifying

[vonhammer]

After a few minutes, the Planet Express ship was brought into a large docking bay, the landing gear went down. Guards immediately surrounded the ship. A short time later, a very pissed off purple-haired cyclops along with her fiancé and a robot exited the ship.

Coming from the opposite end of the landing bay were two figures, one was Dark Helmet and the other was his exec Col. Sanders. The two groups approached each other in the middle of the bay.

“Just what the hell do you think your doing? And what the hell is going on?” Leela said, her anger very visible.

“Oh I’m sorry, but I believe we have a mutual acquaintance. And he was very explicit in that he wanted you and the red head alive.”

“Well who ever it is that we’re busy and have to go.” Leela said, before she could move any further than a few steps, guards moved in to surround her, the business end of their rifles pointed at her.

“That would be most unwise, now follow me to meet our guest. The robot can stay in the ship we have no need for him.” Helmet answered.

“Looks like you skin tubes are boned, see ya.” Bender said, he then ran towards the ship, not to be seen.

Leela and Fry then were forced to follow Helmet into the depths of the ship.

After what seemed like hours of walking, they were finally shown to a small, sparsely furnished cabin.

“You will stay here until you are summoned for dinner, which is in about an hour. You’ll find what your supposed to wear in the closet.” Col. Sanders said, Fry and Leela were shoved into the room and the door was locked.

“Well what do we do now Leela?” Fry asked looking at her

“I don’t know Fry, but I think I have an idea on who this person might be.” Leela said as she sat down on the metal bunk that hung on the bulkhead.

“Whoever it is, if they so much as make some sort of comment about you, I’ll flatten them.” Fry said, with a little bit of rage.

“Fry I appreciate the thought, but I would rather handle it myself. Lets see what we’ve got to wear.” Leela said. She got up and walked over to a small closet and opened it. There was a black dress that barely covered anything, and a well-tailored off-white velour suit. After looking over the clothes, Leela sighed and closed the closet door.

“Well that confirms my suspicions.” Leela said

“How can you tell by looking the clothes?” Fry said

“Fry, who do you know that has an obsession with velour?” Leela answered

Fry thought a minute, then said “Oh its him isn’t it?”

“Yup. And we’re not going to where the clothes that were sent for us either.”

“Why I think you’d look great in that dress.” Fry said

Leela glared at him, then smiled and said “There’s another dress that I’m looking forward to getting into.”

Fry smiled then said “What one is that?”

“Oh that white one that I wore during the time skips.” Leela said

“Oh that one, how about after this we do it right away?” Fry said

The couple then embraced each other in a hug and held it there for few minutes. They then began make-out but where interrupted when the door opened and Col. Sanders was standing there.

“Its time.”
Fry and Leela looked at each other, then followed him out the door to the dinning hall where they were to have their meal.

Dinning Room 13A, Spaceball 1
December 4, 3003 7:30 PM

Fry and Leela where led down a series of corridors, until they came to yet another non-descript steel door. Col. Sanders punched in a code on a keypad, and the door slid open. The room was pretty much what you would expect to find in a military ship. In the center of the room was a steel dinning table, which had been draped with a white table cloth and had two candles in the center. Their was places set for three people.

Leela looked over the scene before and thought If I wasn’t in the current situation, this would be pretty romantic.

“Well here you are, take your seats and the host will be in shortly.” Sanders said, snapping Leela back into consciences.

As soon as Sanders said that, he left, locking the door behind him.

Leela and Fry looked at each other then went over to sit down. They sat next to each other and waited.

“Leela, I have something to tell you.” Fry looking at her.

“What?”

“I love you. And no matter what happens I know we’ll get through this.” Fry said, with a look of hope on his face.

“Fry, I love you to, but lets just get this over with ok?” Leela replied

Fry nodded his response. Their moment was broken when a door at the opposite end of the room opened and in came the one and only Zapp Brannigan, looking like his usual arrogant self, he was wearing his off-white dress uniform and boots. He walked up to the table and sat down across from a very annoyed Leela.

“Well Leela, so nice of you to join me. Would you like some champagne?” Zapp said

Fry’s anger was slowly building as this jerkwad attempted to romance Leela.

That fat jerk, who does he think is thinking Leela will sleep with again? He cant even pronounce champagne right! He actually may be dumber than me!

Fry thought to him self, as he watched Zapp try and failed to win Leela’s heart.

All through dinner Fry sat their in silence, watching and waiting to make his move. His rage at Zapp was reaching its breaking point.

“So Zapp, what deal did you make with the Spaceballs?” Leela asked.

“Oh, you see under Brannigan’s Law, I can do anything in non-DOOP controlled space. So after learning that you were headed here, I called them ahead and axed if they found you to detain you. And I promised them that the DOOP wouldn’t interfere with their business.” He said, spewing crumbs.

As she listened to Brannigan, Leela thought God, he’s even more immature than Fry! I cant believe this idiot is the pride of the DOOP.
Fry had had enough. He jumped up from the table, knocking the glasses of champagne onto everyone’s laps.

“LISTEN HERE ZAPP! FROM THAT DISPLAY RIGHT THEIR ALL YOU PROVED IS THAT YOU’RE AN EVEN BIGGER IDIOT THAN ME! SHE DOESN’T HAVE FEELINGS FOR YOU, SHES MINE SO BACK OFF!” Fry shouted at Zapp, who was unaware that his uniform was on fire.

“Fry, lets leave.” Leela said, she was still shocked at the delivery boy’s comments, but she also noticed that Zapp was on fire.

“OH GOD! IM ON FIRE! SOMEONE HELP! PLEASE LEELA?” Zapp pleaded, as he tried to put the fire out by throwing more champagne on it. this only succeeded in fanning the flames, causing Zapp to yell in pain.

“Zapp, you deserve every ounce of that.” Leela said, she grabbed Fry who was starring at the flames, and they walked out the door leaving Zapp to meet his fate.

In the corridor, they were relived when they didn’t see any guards. Leela punched a couple of buttons on her wrist-a-majig and Amy’s face appeared.

“Amy, can you give us the route back to the ship? Our dinner date ended in flames so to speak.” Leela said,

“Splugh, of course give me minute.” The intern said

A minute later a map of the ship appeared on the screen, showing a green line that led from their current position to the PE ship.

“Just follow that route, and you’ll be fine.” Amy said

“Ok, you ready Fry?” Leela said, he nodded.

The two then followed the route, avoiding any guards that happened to show up, and it took them about to reach the PE ship’s hangar. To their surprise their were no guards to be found in the hangar bay. So they both made a mad dash to the ship, ran up the latter and burst into the bridge.

“Ok, move over, we’re getting the hell out of here!” Leela said. The ship lifted off and blasted out of the hangar.

“Fry, get in the turret incase they send any fighters after us!”

“Yes ma’am!”

Fry got in the turret and to his surprise no one seemed to be after them.

[Leela+Fry]

Ooh, nice update! Can't wait to see what happens next!

[vonhammer]

another update


Back in the cockpit, Leela was at the controls, pushing the ship to its limits, when Bender began to speak.

“So big boots what made you and Fry cheese it?” He said, taking a drink from his beer.

“Not now, Bender, just go to the scanner and see if anyone’s following us.” Leela ordered.

“I might, but its going to cost ya.” Bender said folding his arms across his chest and tapping his foot cup.

Leela grumbled and handed the robot twenty bucks. He stuffed the money into his chest compartment and went to his station, smiling.

Amy was at the place normally occupied by Fry, since he was in the turret. She looked over at her captain, who looked pale and was going to be sick. “Leela you don’t look so well. You should go lay down.” She said, concern in her voice

“I’m perfectly fine Amy, ok?” Leela snapped

“Leela, you really don’t look good.”

“I’m fine.” Leela said, she then put an arm around her stomach and leaned forward a bit.

“Ok, Amy you take the controls. I’ll be in the head.” Leela said she then half-walked half stumbled her way to the head.

Amy took the controls, while muttering something in Chinese regarding Leela’s stubbornness.

As Leela was exiting the bridge, Fry climbed down the ladder.

“Well, we’re pretty safe nothings been following us.” Fry said. He then sat down in his seat.

“Say where did Leela go?”

“She’s in the head Fry.” Amy answered

“She all right?” he asked, his tone bearing concern

Fry then herd what sounded like puking, and he rushed out the door to the head. When he entered their cabin, he went to the bathroom and saw the Leela was hunched over the toilet bowl heaving. Fry ran in and sat down next to her.

“Hey you ok?” Fry said, Leela then picked her head out of the toilet bowl and sat next to Fry.

“Yea, but I think I know what might be causing this.” Leela said, leaning back against the toilet.

“What? Some sort of flu or something?” Fry said.

“Not that. I think I might be.” Leela said

“Might be what?”

“Fry I think I might be pregnant!” Leela said happily. She looked at Fry who had a blank expression on his face, not completely understanding what he just herd.

A smile crept up on his face. He then embraced Leela, and started to actually cry.

“Are you sure?” he said, leaning into her.

“Well lets find out.” Leela said, she then reached up and pulled open a drawer and retrieved a device that looked like a scanner and waved it over her belly. A few seconds later it beeped and the display readout showed they were going to have girl.

“Fry, we’re going to be parents! Fry?” Leela said happily, she looked at the red head who was now passed out on the bathroom floor.

Leela shook her head as she looked at the delivery boy. She then grabbed his feet and dragged him next to the bed. She pressed a button on the intercom.

“Amy can I see you in my cabin?”

“One minute”

A minute later the door opened and Amy walked in.

“Splesh Leela what happened to Fry?”

“He passed out when I told him I was pregnant. Now help me lift him on the bed.”

“Wait your pregnant?” Amy said surprised.

“Yes, now are you going to help me or not?”

Amy grumbled and picked up Fry’s arms while Leela picked up his legs. They turned around so that his head was in the right direction. The two then lifted him up and dropped him on the bed.

“Thanks Amy, I’ll be right here incase you need something.” Leela said. She then got up on the bed and laid down next to Fry.

Amy left the room, and returned to the bridge.

[Leela+Fry]

lol Guess Fry wasn't able to handle it

[vonhammer]

another update enjoy!


After about a half hour or so Fry began to come to. He awoke and saw that he was now laying on the bed, and that Leela was next to him, similing.

“What happened?” Fry said , sitting up in the bed.

“Well I told you that I was pregnant, then you fainted and Amy and I helped you on to the bed.” Leela said

“Wait, YOUR PREGNAT?!” Fry said in a shocked voice.

“Yes, Fry, we’re having a baby. Aren’t you happy?” Leela said, looking at Fry in the face.

“Of course I am, its that I just never thought of it.” Fry replied

“Well, in nine months we’ll have a baby girl. And you know that we’ll have to get married sooner than we planned?”

“Leela, I’ve been ready to marry you since the day I came to the future.”

The couple looked at each other, and Leela said with a hint of worry “Fry, you promise that no matter what our child looks like that you’ll still love it?”

“Leela, I’m sure that our baby girl will be as beautiful as her mother.” Fry said

Leela then started to cry, and leaned into Fry, they sat in each other’s arms for another twenty minutes.

After Leela had stopped crying, she re did her make up and then went over to Fry who was still laying on the bed.

“Shall we go to tell the rest of crew about out good news?” Leela said

“Sure lets go.”

Fry swung his feet off the bed, got up and walked over to Leela, kissed her then the couple proceeded to the bridge
On the bridge, Amy was piloting the ship, Bender was reading was one of his robo-porn magazines and Dr. Gates was on the laying on the couch with his fedora hat over top his eyes, napping.

The door slid open and Fry and Leela walked in, hand-in-hand both smiling. No oen seemed to pay any attention to them.

“Good news everyone!” Fry said, trying to imitate the professor.

All heads turned and looked at the happy couple.

“This better be important meat bag cuz I was right in the middle of some high-quality robot porn!”

“I’m pregnant! And Fry’s the father!” Leela said happily, all faces around them showed signs of astonishment, there was even a small pile of bricks underneath Bender.

“You mean you have a mini-meat bag inside you?”

“Yup, and she’s going to be as beautiful as her mom.” Fry said, pulling Leela next to him and rubbing her stomach.

“My congratulations, and I’m sure you’ll make great parents.” Gates said as walked over to congratulate
them.

“Great now one eye here is going to be even more bossy than before.” Bender said, gesturing to Leela, who now was glaring at the robot for making a comment about her eye.

“So Leela, when are you guys going to get hitched?” Amy asked

“As soon as we get back, I don’t want anyone to think that we’re getting married just because Fry got me pregnant.” Leela said.

“Plus not to mention how pukatronic you would look in a wedding dress when you have a belly.” Amy said offering her fashion tips.

“Thanks, Amy, and if you don’t mind I’ll be taking over the controls now.” Leela said, and while Amy moved out the seat, Leela occupied it.

Fry went to his station and sat down, he then turned to face Leela “Leela, when do you plan on taking leave? Because I don’t want anything to happen to you or our child on a delivery.” He said, the concern in his voice was obvious.

“Fry, I appreciate your concern, but I plan on working as long as I’m physically able. Besides, who has gotten you out of most the messes we get into?” Leela said

“Your right, I know you’ll do what’s best.” Fry replied.

Everyone then turned their attention to the front window as the ship approached a planet that had mix of blues greens and browns in its atmosphere. The planet was about the size of Earth, and it had one moon.

Although they were still a few parsecs away, they could make out the lights of what one would assume to be a city.

Gates stood in front of the window and looked at the planet before them. “My friends, this is the planet Mesopotamia 4.” He said.

[Leela+Fry]

Awesome!! Can't wait to see what the planet's like on the inside!

[vonhammer]

“Neat.” Bender said and took a snapshot with his camera
Entering Mesopotamia 4
December 5, 3003 9:15 AM

Leela piloted the Planet Express ship through the planets thick atmosphere, and after exiting the clouds the landscape they saw looked like something you would see on postcard from Berlin. There were forests, mountains and all sorts of landscape features.

As the crew looked in awe out the window, the radar console began beeping, and Amy went over to check it.

“Looks like we got company Leela!” Amy said after looking at the screen and seeing two incoming bogeys.

“Fry you know what to do – don’t charge up the cannon, but be ready.” Leela ordered

Fry gave a mock salute and climbed up to the turret.

As Fry was climbing up, the comm screen flashed on and the face of a helmeted pilot was visible.

“Attention Planet Express Ship, you are herby ordered to follow us to the designated landing zone for interstellar craft. If you do not comply, we will be forced to take action.” The pilot said, the screen then blanked out before Leela could respond.

“Fry get down here!” Leela yelled.

Fry rushed down the ladder, and looked confused at Leela.

“What did I do something wrong?”

“No, we just have to follow those to fighters I just wanted to get you down here so they didn’t think that we had hostile intentions.”

“Ok.” Fry said, he then went to sit back down.

A minute later, Leela saw two fighter craft speed ahead of her. The craft were looked similar to the F-22 Raptor.

The fighters escorted the Planet Express Ship until they came upon a fairly large obviously military installation, since they were the only civilian ship in the area. They were directed to land in the center of the base, where they would be greeted by the base commandant.

Leela piloted the ship to the landing zone, which was clearly marked by landing lights. She set the ship down, then faced the crew.


”Ok, so what we’re going to do is Fry, Dr. Gates, and I will go and find out just what the hell is going on, while Amy and Bender stay here.”

“How come I, Bender, don’t get to go?”

“Because, I don’t to risk you stealing something, or getting somebody pissed off at us.” Leela snapped

“That’s the worst kind of discrimination! The kind against me, Bender!” Bender shot back, his anger simulator kicking into high gear.

“Amy, shut him down.” Leela said
“Hey what are you doing! Don’t touch that!” Bender protested as Amy flipped him off.

“Ok, well I guess I just stay here then?” Amy said

“Yup. Just be prepared incase we have to make an escape.” Leela replied

“Yes Ma’am.” Amy replied.

“Good, now Fry, Dr. Gates lets go.” Leela said. The two men then followed her off the bridge to the exit stairs.

When the threesome walked down the stairs, the site they was a military base that was busy with activity. All different kinds of spaceships were in hangars, or on the tarmac. There mixes of fighters, transports, and the largest they saw was a medium sized heavily armed, arrow-shaped cruisers. The base personnel were humanoids, all though they were somewhat taller and were in excellent physical shape. They wore light blue uniforms, similar to that worn by the German Luftwaffe during WWII. No one paid them any attention, although Leela got a few looks her way because of her eye. They stood there, until they saw a hover car approach them, it was basically a hover version of the Mercedes 770 W150 wagon.

The occupants were the base commander, a Colonel Wilhelm Klink, and his driver, a Sergeant Hans Schultz. Klink was an older man, wore a similar Luftwaffe uniform, along with a matching uniform hat to cover up his baldness. Schultz was massive man and was slightly younger than Klink. The car approached Fry, Leela and Gates who were standing at the bottom the PE ship’s front landing gear.

The car stopped in front of them, and Schultz got out and went around to open the door for Klink. Klink stepped out, and went over to face the threesome.

“Welcome to Stalag 13, the most secure place on the planet!” Klink greeted them happily.

“You mind telling me what the hell’s going on here?” Leela said, already getting moody.

“And just who might you be?” Klink said, facing Leela

“I’m the captain of this ship, and I want to know what we’re doing here!” Leela said, getting more angry

“Schultz! Take them to my office, and see that they get the proper forms!” Klink ordered

“Jahol Herr Commandant!” Schultz replied, he then herded Fry, Leela, and Gates into the staff car and then drove off, leaving Klink standing there.

“SCHULTZ!” Klink shouted shaking his fist in the general direction of the car.

[Leela+Fry]

lol Funny!

[vonhammer]

And here's the final update.

Klink’s office, Stalag 13
December 5, 3003 10:30 AM

Fry, Leela, and Gates were in Klink’s office, waiting for the commandant to arrive. The office was small, and held a large ornate oak desk, a couple of filing cabinets, a safe, a coat rack and a few chairs. Behind the desk hung a photo of black haired giving some sort of speech.

The three sat in chairs opposite the desk. Fry was in the middle while Leela was closest to the door and Gates was on the end. Fry was slumped in his chair and sleeping. Leela was getting impatient and was tapping her foot rapidly on the wood floor.

Suddenly the door burst open and Klink stomped through, obviously angry. He hung his hat on the on the coat rack and sat down at his desk.
Fry was woken up by the sudden noise and about fell off his chair. “


“Now can you tell us what’s going on?” Leela said.

“As soon as you tell me what your business is here.” Klink answered

“I can answer that, we’re here to find that city of gold that was built here.” Gates said.

“And just who might you be?” Klink said looking at Gates

“Dr. Henry Gates of the Earthican Natural History Museum. I hired Planet Express to transport me to this planet.” Gates replied.

“Oh really? Well I hate to say it but I’m afraid you are our prisoners now. And your ship now belongs to us.” Klink said arrogantly

Leela shot up out of her chair and put her hands on Klink’s desk. “PRSIONERS? WHAT THE HELL DID WE DO?” she shouted

The door burst open again, Schultz came stumbling through, panting. “I’m sorry Herr commandant, but their robot stole our alcohol supply. I tried to stop them, but he was to fast.”

“Schultz you’re a pathetic excuse for an solider! Take these new prisoners to the prison compound!” Klink ordered.

As they were led out the office, the three looked up and saw the Planet Express ship over head.

Leela looked up and sighed. Schultz herded them towards another area of the base, where there were several identical barracks buildings, surrounded by more barbed wire and guard towers. He deactivated the gates and shoved them inside.

“Now you will stay here until the commandant decides otherwise. And don’t try any funny business either!” Schultz said and walked away to take a much needed rest.

“So what do we now Leela?” Fry asked, looking at her.

“I don’t know Fry.”

As they walked more towards the center of the camp, a man dressed in a brown leather jacket and khaki pants walked to great them. He first gave a strange look at Leela, but when she narrowed her eye at him, he looked away.

He stuck out his hand towards her “Hi, I’m Col. Robert Hogan of the DOOP Air Corps, senior officer of the POWs.” Leela accepted it and returned the hand shake.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Captain Turanga Leela of the Planet Express ship, and this our delivery boy, and a guest.” Leela said, gesturing to Fry and Gates.

“What up. I’m Fry.” Fry said, shaking his hand, he then pulled Hogan in closer, and whispered “I’d be careful around Leela, she’s been real moody lately.” Fry said, Hogan nodded and went over to meet Gates.

“Dr. Henry Gates, Earthican Natural History Museum.” Gates said. He shook Hogan’s hand and then stepped back.

“If, you guys follow me,. We’ll get down to business on how to get you folks out of here.” Hogan said, and began walking to his barracks. The three looked at each other then, followed the colonel.

Hogan escorted the group into his barracks, which were pretty much what you would expect. There was a bunks along both walls, a small stove/heater and a wood table. There were a few other men in the room as well.

“Boys, I’d like you to meet our new guests, they’ll be here till we find away for them to escape.” Hogan said, as he led Fry, Leela, and Gates into the barracks. Some of them men had shocked looks on their faces when they saw Leela, otherwise it was pretty calm.

“This Philip Fry, Turanga Leela, and Dr. Henry Gates.” Hogan said as introduced them.

“Welcome, your just passing through then?” A dark haired man in his early thirties said in a English accent.

“I guess, you could say that. We’re actually here to find a treasure!” Fry said excitedly. Leela elbowed him, to try and calm him down.

“A treasure?” Hogan said, looking at them curiously.

“Yes, there is a city of gold on this planet some where, and I’m determined to find it.” gates said, perking the interest of the men.

“Newkirk, didn’t you and Carter find some strange statues and that a few nights ago?” Hogan asked to two of his men.

“Yea colonel, their about a few clicks east of here, why?” Newkirk said in his English accent.

“I think we might ourselves in a little treasure hunt.” Hogan said, rubbing his chin. He had mischievous look in his eyes.

A few hours later everyone was gathered in a tunnel underneath the barracks. The tunnel was lit by candles and was built as to allow one to stand up. Everyone was wearing black outfits, as to blend in with the night. They also had on black face paint so that there faces wouldn’t reflective in the moon light. Colonel Hogan was looking through a [periscope to survey the area around the tunnel exit, making sure no guards were around.

“Ok, the coast is clear. Everyone out of the tunnel.” Hogan said

They then ment up a wood ladder and came out of a fake tree stump. A few minutes alter and they were gathered around the entrance.

“Now since Newkirk found the markings, he’ll led us to them. Newkirk.”

“Right colonel.”

Newkirk took the point, while Hogan took up the rear with Fry, Leela, and Gates in between. They walked for few hours until they came to two obelisks that were covered in moss and where in serious disrepair.

As the group moved forward, Gates went to one of the obelisks and began scrapping the moss off of it and was interrupted when the sound of a ship landing nearby was heard.

The group turned around and what they saw was the Planet Express ship.Bender and Amy came walking down the ramp, only to be met by a very angry cyclops.

“Amy just what the hell were you thinking about turning Bender on?” She yelled

“Sorry Leela, but it was an accident!” Amy replied.

“Hey big boots. So what’s going on you find that treasure yet?” Bender said, taking a puff of his cigar.

“Hey guys come here! We found it!” Fry said excitedly.

Amy, Leela, and Bender ran over to where Fry was, he was standing by an rectangular hole in the ground with steps leading down.

“So you found it?” Leela said

“Yea come on you wont believe it!” Fry replied. The others followed him down the steps and after a few minutes they came to a balcony where Hogan, Newkirk, and Gates were standing. Before them was a town the size of Mutant Town, only everything was either in gold, platinum or various other rare and expensive elements.

“Neat!” Bender said as he took a photo.

“I don’t know about you meat bags, but I’m off to go do some looting! Hehehe.” Bender said, he then ran toward the edge of balcony and leaped over it and began running around stealing various items.

“So, Dr. Gates what do we do now?” Leela asked

“Well, I’ll contact the museum and they can send a crew out here to start excavating the site. This time they will have all the proper documentation. And I suggest you keep that robot under control.” Gates said

“All right, just minute.” Leela said, she then pushed a few buttons on her wrist thingy and activated Bender’s patriot circuit.

“Aww Damnit!” Bender yelled from somewhere below.

“Come on Bender where’re ready to go home! I think there’s an All My Circuits marathon on!” Fry said, and almost instantly Bender appeared with a bag with the word ‘swag’ written on it.

“Then come on big boots lets go home!” Bender said he then ran up the steps, and to the PE ship.

“Dr. Gates, Col. Hogan, Newkirk, its been a pleasure, but we have to go.” Leela said, she then turned and walked back up the stairs to the PE ship.

The End

All right, I know it wasn’t the best ending, but I just wanted to get this one done. My next one will be a parody of NBC’s Chuck, and will not be a continuation of this one.

[Xbox 720]

Pretty good. But it's pretty short.

[Leela+Fry]

Awesome! Great ending!

[vonhammer]

Pretty good. But it's pretty short.
